We wish to remark that some time
somebody is going to be hurtat the boat
landing. As the boat swings round into
place, after getting a bow iine out, there
is a heavy strain upon it. As a matter
of fact the line generally holds, but
some time it is going to part, and people
who stand within range of the recoil are
going to get hurt.

Here is the small end of an item from
the Medford Mail : "Jerry Heckathorn,
who was expected home last week, had
the misfortune to cut off one of his little
toes. The lady with whom he was
boarding sewed it on again, but it did
not suit him, and he took an ax and
laid the edge on the crippled toe and re
severed it. Therefore lie had to wait
until his toe was well in order to ride
home on his bicycle."
Misses Ina and Blanche Forrest of
Olympia rode their bicycles down the
Westsido bicycle path near Olympia
last Thursday, says the Olympian. At
the steepest point in the path a large
log had just been sawed in two, and a
part removed; just enough to let the
rider pass through with a close shave.
Just before reaching this point, the
rear sprocket of Miss Ina's wheel broke,
and while she was whirling down grade
like lightning, she tried to "reverse,"
hut the wheel shot downward and
uguinBt the log, which is several feet
high. She was thrown entirely over
this, and several yards into the brush
and knocked unconscious. Miss Blanche
who was just behind, and coming at the
same hoadlong speed, lost her presence
of mind and her hold on her handle
bars. Her wheel struck the log with
such force that it jumped entirely over
it and landed with her on the other side.
They wero both badly bruised, but not
seriously injured.

HE WENT OVER THE BLUFF.
A POISON STRIP.
Catbcart's norwe Kln- With Cntli
cart'ii ltugcy-
Last night about f :30 a horse belong
ing to Mr. Cathcart took a little spin on
his own account, that will not soon be
rivaled.
The horse, hitched to a light buggy,
was standing in front of Mr. Cathcart'e
house, when a man rode up on horse
back, and dismounting hurriedly, fright
ened the Cathcart horse and he imme
diately lit out down Jefferson Btreet.
Now Jefferson street is a nice on? as far
as it goes, but there are places where it
doesn't go, one of these being a portion
of the city lying between Fourth and
Sixtli streetB. The reason it doesn't go
there is that there is a big basaltic bluff
sixty or seventy feet high. The horse,
not having a plat of the city to examine,
evidently did not know this, for he ran
straight down the street, keeping the
middle of the road and plunged over the
bluif.
Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Stephens, near
whose house the matter occurred, heard
the crash, but did not know whether it
was a flying machine, the Populist
party, or a flight of The Chuonici.k
editor's fancy that had come sailing
over the hill. Mr. Stephens went out
to see what he could pee, and a voice
from the top of (lit bluff hailed him witli
the question, "Did you see anything of a
horse and buggy coming down that
way?" Charley replied that he had;
that, in fact, the horse and wtiat had
been a buggy were just then in front of
him.
A crowd soon gathered to take a look
at the wreck. The horse was lying on
his back with his feet slicking up
through the remnants of the buggy,
which were piled on top of him. These
were dragged off, and one of the crowd
gave the horse u kick to see if he was
alive, and was astonished to see the ani
mal turn over and struggle to his feet.
Ho was uncoupled from the wreck and I
led awav, apparently unhurt.
Tiie bluff where the accident hap
pened is not less than fifty feet sheer,
and how the horse escaped with his life
is a mystery.

aware of it, knows its exact location,
and makes preparations for crossing
it in going north or south with his
bands.
The strip is about five miles wide and
extends along the edge of the timber,
beginning near the Idaho lino and ex
tending south almost to Hock lake. An-'
other similar etrip extends out south of
Cheney and west towardp Spangle.
Just what the plant is that kills the
sheep is not known, but it is seldom
that a band iB driven across it without
losing from five, to fifty head. The Per
son A Poe sheep of 0000 head in two
bands that crossed the strip this week,
lost only twelve head and their owners
consider themselves quite fortunate in
escaping so lightly. Last year they lost
forty.
Several years ago, before the exact lo
cation of the trip was definitely known
a band of 1500 sheep was driven leis
urely across it, and 700 of them died
from the effects of the poison. Experi
ence lias taught sheepmen that the only
way to cross in safety is to drive the
sheep across on the run, so they will not
get an opportunity of grazing on it.
This method is the one now universally
adopted.

Just at this time of the year there is
a general movement of large bands of
sheep from their raugea south and west
of Spokane to their summer ranges in
the mountains to the north and east.
Several large bauds have passed by east
of that city within the past few weeks
on tins route. The sheepmen are having
this spring the usual trouble in crossing
what is known aiuoug them as "poison
strip," says the Spokane Chronicle.
This is a strip of country about five
miles wide between Spokane and Pine
City, on which tbere grows s)ine kind of
a plant that is poisonous to sheep. It is
not generally known that such a strip
exists, but every sheepman who has ever
run sheep in that part of the state is
At Hood Kiver, Monday morning,
Mrs. Gertie Nickelsen, wife of Kev.
Chris Nickelsen.
The funeral will take place at Hood
Kiver tomorrow, Rev. J. II. Wood of
this city preaching the sermon.
It is seldom that so sorrowful a task
is given u newspaper reporter as the
noting the passing away of so noble a
little woman as Gertie Nickelsen. She
was the daughter of Kev. Kighy, Htu
tioned for two years at Hood ltiver.
There she met and married the man
whose heart today is almost broken at
her loss.
It was largely through her iullu
ence that he was called into the
church, and took up the culling
of a preacher. lieing assigned to the
charge at Prinevilie, lie began bin labors
there, and tliere she contracted the dis
ease, consumption, that finally carried
her away.
Last full her husband took her to Cali
fornia, hoping that aided by the climate
and surroundings she might regain her
health, but the hope was vain. Itealiz
iug that the end was near, she usked to
be brought home that she might die sur
rounded by her relatives.
She died us she had lived, sustained
by an unfaltering trust in God, and if
finite minds rimy judge, today she treads
