Two sons of Walter Kiroheui, of Logan, Norve, aged 12, and a younger brother 5-year3 old, had a miraculous escape from drowning in the Clackamas river three miles above the hatchery yesterday. The boys drove down to the river with a wagon and team to get a "load of gravel.

The horses were carried 3 miles down the stream aud were A Frightful Blunder Will' often ciuee a horrible burn, scali'T, cut or bruise.

" PHILIPPINE IMPROVEMENTS War Department Encouraged By tbe Receipt of News From Otis Con tradicting Recent Rumors. Washington, Jan. 14. War depart ment officials were very much encour aged today upon receipt of the news from Otis at Manila, that indicated a distinct improvement in the situation there.

Otis la master wherever he has planted his foot and undoubtedly is able to carry out any policy aa to treatment of natives the ad ministration ia likely to dictate.
