LeBreton Killed by IndLtnn Assuming that a brief reference to those persons who have here tofore filled the office of secre tary of state 13 of Interest, as well as a statement of the functions and duties of the office, I have taken the liberty of prefacing this paper with a short statement re specting each of tbem. George W. LeBreton served as secretary of Oregon during tnt three years immediately preceed ing the organization of the pro visional government. He waa uu. in Massachusetts, and was. one of Oregon's earliest pioneers. He acted as secretary in the public meeting held In tbe original terri tory of Oregon, and as clerk of the legisaltive committees of that per iod. He may. therefore, justly be called Oregon's first secretary. LeBreton was killed in a battle with the Indians at Oregon City, March 4, 1844. V He was succeeded by Dr. E. J. Long, a physician, and active or ganizer of the provisional govern ment. Dr. Long was first1, ap pointed, then twice elected by the people, . He was ; drowned in the Clackamas river, January 21, 1846. : Tragedy Overtakes IrfR The tnird secretary of Oregon was Dr. Frederick I'rigg, appoint ed, to succeed Dr. Long, and served from June 21, 1846, to some lime in 4 7. He had prev iously served as a circuit judge In Clackamas county, and as a mem ber of . the legislature. History records that Dr. Prigg met the same fate as his predecessor, hav ing been drowned in the Clacka mas river. ' Samuel M, Holderness served as secretary or Oregon from 1847 to 1849, being the last incumbent of the office under the provisional government.

A series of tests for the swim mers' and life savers' medals un der the national Y. M. C. A. su pervision, was begun at the Sa lem Y. M. C. A. as one of the big events for Labor day. The complete course makes a man show that be is a really qual ified swimmer and life saver. The tests are not competitive, and not t'med. The ability to do the re quirements, in a workmanlike manner is the whole story. The swimmer must be able to do al most everything that & duck can do, but quack, in order to quali fy as a medal swimmer; and show an ability to dreg even a fighting suicide or a frantic rock-the-boat victim who grabs h's rescuer, out ot the water, after knocking him cold with a solar plexus or a chin punch, so he can't resist. Here are the schedules, for the differ ent events of thi complete series: Beginner's test: Swim at least 50 feet (any stroke without turning at end of tank). Award: Oxidized silver finish button. Swimmers' te?t: Swim 50 yards (any stroke); dive properly trom side of pool; swim on back 50 feet. Award: French gray finish button. Leader's test: (1) Teach one person to swim f-0 feet; (2) swim 200 yards; (3) dive from surface of water and bring objects from bottom (opening eyes) ; (4) swim on back 50 yards. Award: Ro man gold finish button. Life saver's test: (1) Dive into from seven to 10 feet of water and bring from the bottom to the surface a loose bag of sand weigh ing 10 pounds; (2) swim 100 vards on back, not using arms or hands, and 100 yards any other Ftroke; (3) demonstrate (a) on land. five methods of release; (b) in water two methods of re lease; (c) rescue and tow person ot own weight 20 yards, using two different strokes (10 yards each); (d) Shaefer method of re suscitation. Award: sterling sil ver watch fob, very neat and dur able. Several of tha local Y. M. C. A. boys passed the twimmers' tests of swimming the four lengths of the tank (50 yards) one and one-) half lengths of tbe tank (60 feet) on back, and r.ne shallow dive. Those who qualified thus far, were Jack Harbison, Glen Seeley, Bernard Kafoury (distance sw m uncompleted) Bernard Richards, Charles Hageman. Hal Lehman. Curtis Townsen.l, Kenneth Seeley, John George anil James Fargo. A partial list in tbe life sav ers department, giving the 100 yards swim on the back without usiner tbe arm 3 and 100 yards. any stroke, following th3 back swim, gave to Frank Baker and Paul Dever their qualifying rec ords. All the other tests, for the Tar lous honors, are to be g'ven soon Professor Overdcrfer, ons of the best fcnown swimming instruc tors In the west, will give a swim ming exhibition a I the Y. M. C. A.
