By. a slip of the pencil yesterday we
gave the time of holding the ice cream
festival in the brick schoolhonse yard
as last night. It will be held tonight at

patronage .should be correspondingly
generous.

smile on his fish-line. .
The steamer Regulator now makes
close connections with the Dalles City
at the Cascades. The transfer is made
over the state portage, so there is no
walking and no inconvenience. This is
one of the most delightful trips on the
coast, and.all tourists should make it. .
The Western Union will begin re
pairing and rebuilding their line from
Portland to Arlington in the near fu

are not safe to climb and are liable to
go down at any time. .
There is a splendid run of chineoks in

that at bis cannery on the lower river he
is putting up 500 crates of Chinook a
day.
A Frightful Fall.
Sunday morning a trestle on the
Union Pacific road at Alto, Wash., fell
with a freight train. The trestle is 96
feet high and that anyone on the train
escaped death is miraculous. Engineer
James Jesse felt the trestle giving and
pulled the throttle of his engine wide
open, breaking it loose from the tender.
The engine shot ahead, jumped the
track and ran a short distance on the
ties, but reached a bent that stood, so
that it did not go down with the wreck.
Fifteen cars loaded with wheat, two with
flour and the caboose went over, and
were smashed to kindling wood. No

and his ankle sprained. David Wright,
a brakeman, has. three ribs broken on
bis right side, bis left fore arm is broken
and his ankle dislocated. He is also
bruised and cut badly, but the doctors
say be will recover. Fred Harrison, the
other brakeman, escaped without eerious
injury, but he is admass of bruises and
cufs. The injured men are being cared
for in the hospital at Walla Walla.

Harvesting is being proseauted with
vigor, and if . our' present good weather
continues three weeks the hay of the
present cutting will be in shelter and
stacks. ' .
One day last week the thermometer
stood at 104 in the shade. We have ex
perienced extremely warm weather the
past week, but at present a cool breeze
gives freshness and vigor to the atmos-
phere.
On the 20th Mr. Wooden met with a
serious accident, and the wonder is it
was not fatal. While on . his road to
The Dalles with a load of wool he came
to one of the excellent grades of county
property, that is generally' but a few
inches wider thad a wagon, and after a
few days' rainfall is ready to crumble at
a slight jar. At one of the narrowest
and most headlong 'points the grade sud
denly' gave way, turning the wagon
over in its down ward J tumble, catching
Mr. Wooden underneath, crushing him
very seriously, breaking one leg at the
ankle, and seriously bruising the other ;
also breaking his collar bone and jam
ming a shoulder badly. He suffers
very much with his bruised limb from
cramps, but with , all he is bright and
hopeful. ' He thinks with some bad
luck he meets with some that is good.
Now every attention is paid him that is
possible, the best of food is brought him,
and be will miss harvesting. He is
thankful this time in life that he was
Wooden, or surely he would have been
crushed out of existence. We find but
few natures that are- aa cheerful in ad
versity. Dr. Houck is attending physi
cian. ,
S: T. Allen, while on his way home,
met .with a serious accident as he rvas
coming down the Deschutes hill. A
wheel gave way under the break at one
of the most rocky points in the road.
The lurch cast him on to the break and
from there to the rocks, inflicting a seri
ous wound. But with his usual stub
bornness he drove his team home, and
on reaching there looked as if all the
gattling. guns of America had threat
ened him at one time. Am glad to say
at present he has almost entirely re
covered, and ia able to go on in his
usual way
Thia month aa you will notice, lias
been one of many accidents, but fortu
nately none fatal. About the 18th a
young man by the name of Rankins,
who had been breaking horses in the
neighborhood,, was thrown? from his
fcoree and seriously mangled in his
right hand and arm by the horse step
ping on him. The horse was sharp
shod, and wben it stepped on the arm
It took, the flesh to the bone, severing
one of the arteries of the wrist and tear
ing the fieahr entirely from the 'fore
finger. It was necessary to amputate
the finger. . . He is doing very well un
der the care of Dr; Houck. '. .

Summit Prairie has become our Bridge

summer fishing has been excellent.
Mr. Sam Brandon returned from there
with a three-gallon bucket packed full,
besides having all he and his crowd
could eat tno few-days they were but.
Exit another lire to realms unknown,,
of which many bright arid beautiful
promises are given.' July 26th, after a
lingering illness, of months and a close
confinement of three weeks, Mr. Mar
tin Gray, father of Mrs. E. E. Allen, de
parted this life. Mr. Gray has been a
resident of this place at different times
for twenty-two yearB.- Some years since
he moved his family into Montana,
since which time he has been a resident
of Boseman. Last fall he came to make
his daughter a visit. . Soon after he be
came ill, "but not serious enough " to
cause any particular aaxiety. He lin
gered until three weeks since, when he
lay down to rise no more. Two. years
ago lie had a serious attack ofgrippe,
from which he had never entirely re
covered, growing better and : worse at
intervals, until a faithful servant is
called home. Once more' we miss an
aged father and a kind grandfather; but
we do not grieve, for his sufferings are
done. Good bye for a time, for there
are no good byes in heaven: Mr. Gray
was sixty-nine , years of age, and was
very strong un til the attack of la grippe.
One more accident to relate, and then
I will let:. you rest until another time.
Mrs. Campbell of this place, Dr. Hun
lock and his best girl- were on their way
to the Summit, when a mulish horse
waa trying to break his neck in attempt
ing to go the other wary and pull the
wagon to which he was tied with him.
The doctor thought he might persuade
the 'perverse animal to gently submit.
And bo he did, with such an impetus as
to knock the doctor, heels up, down a
bank and over a woodpile unceremoni
ously, landing him on the 'most promi
nent part of .his face, and as a conse
quence he arose with a very badly peejed
and bloody nose. . All this time his girl
was calmly taking in the doctor's, ill
fated situation. Did she laugh? I
would had it been me.
