Though he missed the excitement of
the big sham battle at American Lake
Sergeant D. B. Bailey of company L.
had a very thrilling experience with
a rescuing party at Lake Union' near
Seattle. While the encampment was
on Sergeant Bailey was called to Se
attle by the serious illness of his
" wife's father.
- Tuesday afternoon he was w-ith a
party on board a Meridian avenue
car. As the car was passing Lake
Union three boys were seen struggl
ing In the waters of the lake. They
had been capsized from a row boat
and were struggling - hard to reach
shore.
Seeing the boys the motorman stop
ped the car and the crowd rushed to
their rescue. Two of those In the
lead were Sergeant Bailey and At
orney Frank S. Griffith of Seattle.
The rescuers quickly made them
selves Into a human rope with Bailey
at the end reaching down to the
water. While the others held him he
grasped hold of Willie Johnson, aged
11, who was nearly drowned, and
held him above the water until otners
could reach him from under the pier.
The other two lads had previously
b en rescued but the Johnson boy be
ing in a more dangerous position owes
his life to the good work done by the
rescuing party and especially to Ser
geant Bailey, who kept him from go
ing to the bottom of Union lake.
Frank C. Kelsay, of the engineer firm
of Toung & Kelsay, will reach here
Wednesday for the purpose of con
ferrlng with the.water commissioners
regarding the proposed survey for a
gravity water system. Though no
formal contract has yet been made
between the water board and Young
& Kelsay those men will probably
get the task of planning the system.
Young & Kelsay also have charge
of the work on the levee and drew the
plans for the same two years ago.

O. R. & N. Finally Comes to Terms
and Grants Concession Asked for,
After eight long years of effort,
David Taylor Is In a position to real
ize the full benefits to be derived
through ownership of an independent
warehouse, says the Athena Press.
For eight years Mr. Taylor endeav'
ored to secure a switch from the O. R.
& X. people, so that he could ship
grain over that road.
A string of red tape that would
reach from here to Jerlco was en
countered In the beginning and the
company was also bound up In agree
ments with other grain dealers, but
David never gave up.
Last year he bought and shipped
over the Northern Pacific something
like 137,000 bushels of grain. Evi
dently this looked good to the fat
O. R. & N. and in the light of the
stiff competition which Taylor went
up against, It Is surmised that he
"showed" them he was likely to re
main in business here. And so an en
gineer dropped off the other day, sur
veyed a line and a bunch of Greeks
laid the track, and David smole a
smile. .
His railroad connection places Mr.
Taylor's warehouse in the best possi
ble condition for handling not only
grain but hay and other products of
the farm," which receives better prices
in having access to both Portland and
Hound markets.

Coin Willi Postage Stamps on
Comes Safely Through.
The honesty of the employes of the
postal department of Uncle Sam has
again been attested, says the Walla
Walla Union. Miss Eva Goldstein, of
6(i East Main street, yesterday re
ceived from a relative In Portland,
Ore., a big round dollar, to which
was attached a 2-cent postage stamp
and a small slip of paper bearing .the
young lady's address.
The coin was mailed as a letter would
be, without any wrapper whatever,
and, so far as known Is the first
money received through the local of-J
flee In such a manner.
The coin was run through the can
celling machines, In which operation
the stamp was cancelled, and from
Portland to Walla Walla, without a
hitch, came the Oregon dollar. It
was brought In on yesterday morn
ing's train, and was delivered to the
little miss yesterday forenoon by the
mall carrier.
In tho Maneuvers at American Lake
tho Pendleton Company Took an
Active Part In tho Sham Rattlo
tlie Roys Were on tlia Firing Line
for 21 Hours Without Rest.
There will be no further drill for
company L until the cool weather of
the fall. An announcement to this
effect was made today by Captain
Smythe, who returned home from
Portland on the morning train.
No particular time has been set for
the resumption of drill, but work will
not be taken up again until the latter
part of September or the first of Oc
tober. After the strenuous encampment at
American Lake all the guard organ
izations of the state will have a period
of rest before resuming drill In the
fall.
But while drill Is to he dispensed
with the members of the company
L will devote much time during the
coming weeks to target practice on
the rifle range on Tutullla. Thus far
the company has not had much target
practice this season and it Is the In
tpntlon to have every man on the
range during the next two months,
The rifle season officially ended Oc-
tobor 30 and company L's "figure of
merit" will depend upon the work
that Is done between now and tha
time.
At American Lake.
While at American Lake this year
company L made a creditable record
under Captain Smythe. Though the
command was smaller than last year,
the officers and men were all more
experienced and naturally did better
work.
The company was the second com
pany of the third battalion, command
ed by Major Dunbar, and during the
two days simulated warfare was 1
the support.
Though the battalion was hardly
used on the firing line at all, the men
had harder work than any other bat
tcllon In either army. During the
night attack the battalion was raced
for a distance of three miles In order
to strengthen a weak place in the
"Brown" line.
But while considerably exhausted
by the 24 hours hard work none of
the company gave out and seemingly
all enjoyed the rough experience.
