The,0ne thing that Oregon needs
above all others is advertising. Man
can not improve upon her resources,
her climate, her fortunate geograph
ical location nor the camber and
direction of her rivers. These
things are her own and were hers
before she knew the white man.
Man ean develop her resources, en
joy her climate, take advantage of
what nature offers. Those of us
who are heie owe it to ourselves
and the people abroad to let the
world know whetein Oregon excels,
To do this we must advertise. We
clip the following from the Repre
senlativ of Nevada, Iowa: "A
small box of Royal " Ann cherries
has reached this office from N. F:
Gillespie, .of ; Corvallis, Oregon.
They are, we think, the richest
cherries we have ever tasted, and
we should heartily endorse the cul
tivation of that particular variety
of cherries in Iowa. If Oregon is
the only state that can raise them
then Oregon is a good state to
live in." . - :

Reese Beery Meets Death in Eight Feet cf
. Water Almost Within Reach of a Half
Dozen Spectators.
Three weeks ago Reese P.
Beery and his young wife came
to Corvallis, strangers, and took
up their home among us. To
day his corpse itarts on its long
journey lor tee home lie leit iu
Michigan three months ago, ac
companied by the broken-hearted
little woman who has receiv
ed such loving sympathy and as
sistance in her bereavement from
the kindly people of Corvallis.
The Gazette mentioned his ar
rival in Corvallis, but aside from
this introduction few people had
formed his acquaintance. Just
before noon, Wednesday, the
news was spread that a man had
fallen off the ferry, -and soon
Beery' s name was upon every
Hp. Some curious people rush
ed to tho ferry landing and gazed
at the water, but no effort) was
made to recover the body Until
T. W. Dilley arrived en the scene
about one o'clock. He immedi
ately set about arranging a drag
and with the assistance of Geo.
Eglin began searching for the
body. Later R. S. Huston and
Roscoe Bryson secured a boat
and joined in the search. Soon
the river bank was lined with
people, who remained silent
spectators nntil the body was
lifted into their boat by Bryson
and Huston shortly after 2 o'clock
The corpse was brought ashore,
aftd. after a little dslay taken to
the undertaking parlors of S. N.
Wilkins, where the inquest was
held.
Examination of witnesses was
conducted bv Attorney E. R.
Bryson before Coroner Wilkins
and the following jury; W. P.
L,aflerty, A. Kisor, J. E. Martis,
Geo. W..Henkle, J. Wrage, and
W. J. Howell.
After examining the body, Dr.
Pernot stated that he found no
marks ot violence; that the
lnngs were filled with water, and
that death resulted from drown
ing. ; - - '
From the testimony of R. I.
Taylor and T. W." Dilly these
facts were gleaned: Beery came
to Corvallis two weeks ago last
Sunday. Being a Maccabee,. ha
approaohed Mr. Taylor, of the
local tent, and stated that he
came to Oregon from Millgrove,
Michigan, &bou4 three months
ago. : tie was married at that
place abou tw6 years ago, and
sihoe his, arrival in this state he
and.his wife had been residing at
Saver. , The next iaornisg after
his conversation with Taylor lie
asked Mr. Dilley for employ
ment, lit. Taylor introduced
Beery around asd. later. he
brought his -wife and househeld
effects' to Corvallis and moved
into the house just south of the
Dilley house. A week ago Wed
nesday Bight he visited the, Mac
cabee lodge, and those who made
his acquaintance were most fa
vorably Impressed- His papets
showed that he was a member in
good standing of Delano Tent,
No. Q02, of Allegan, Mich., and
carried a policy lor $2,ooo.
Upoa inquiry the Gazette
finds that he was a faithful work
er. Some days ago he went to
Philomath with T. E.4 Morse - to
saw wood. Whtn they reached
that city they Jbund the steam
woodsaw broken and Mr. Beery
was disappointed in securing this
employment. - Hs remarked at
the time that he Was "the most
unlucky man in the world."
Jnly 23rd, lie was at Mr. Morse's
home, and told the family that
that was his 25th birthday.
Last Tuesday morning he told
Fred Blumhart, the ferryman,
that he, would like to seetire work
of 9ome kind. Ha was told that
the Spafllding company wanted
a man to assist in keeping the
logs ia their drive n6w passing
Corvallis from foaling the ferry.
He was given this task and be
gan work at noon thai day, tush
ing tile logs out 01 trie terry's
course with a.ike cole. He-!
said he oould not swim and Mr.
Blam&art warned him of the
danger, and advised him to stand
at the rear end ot the ferry and
assist in propelling it, leaving
the mora expsrienced men lo
handle the logs. He was ambi
tions, however, and worked at
the bow ef the boat.
The stOry of his death is thns
told by T. B. Jones, an eye wit
ness: I saw Beery for the first
time 'Wednesday. I. was cross
ing the river on my way to din
ner, and, wis helping to keep
logs out ot the. way of the ferry,
We were approaching the west.
shore and had gone about two
thirds of the way across the riven
when Beery, who was standingj
at tae upper front corner of the
boat placed his pike against a lo;
and 6hoved it away. - When it
passed Out of reach of the pike,
Beery let the end of that instru.
rasnt drop to tha bottom of the !
river.' The other end ho held in!
his hands, and turned with his j
back in the direction of the shore j
We were approaching, the pole'
across and in front of him. As J
he stood outside of the pole, !
whea the apron of the ferry j
struck it he was thrown back-1
wards inta the river. I was'
about ten feet from where he had j
been standing on the lower side!
of the apron. He passed under
the apron and came up about
midway of the ferry on the lower1
side and shouted 'Help!' I1
dropped my pole, jumped oyer!
the guard rail and tried lo reach j
him with my hand. . He remain- j
ed at the surface about (en sec
onds, aud I never saw him again
alive." The water was eight or
ten feet deep, where Beerv fell '
in, and about the same depth at
the point where he was taken
out, 60 or 70 yards further down
the stream. Other persons oa
the boat at the time were Fred
Blnmhart, a Mr. Kendall and
two or three strangers. There
were also a couple of teams and
wagons. Mr. BlumharS was a6
the wheel. He did not see
Beery fall iu. He heard one of
the teamsters shout, and saw
Jones climb over the guard rail.
He ran to see what was the mat
ter and saw Berry jnst as he was
sinking. He was making no
effort to swim. He was about
10 feet from the ferry. A book- j
ed pole was reached to Beery
without result. , Byron Nixon
saw the accident from the ferry
landing. He rowed out in a
small bsats to the scene, but
could see ho trace of the drown
ing man.
R. L,. Taylor earned the news
to Mrs. Beery. She had prepar
ed dinner and was standing in
the door watching for the loved
one whose dead body was lying
at the oottom of the river. She
faiated from the "first shock of
the dreadful tiding but, later
calmed herself and bore her be
reavement with much fortitude.

Mrs. Leonii MeNulty.
The life of humanity is so com
plex that the death of even a
"stranger within the gates" causes a
feeliug of sadness. When, after a
residence of many years'' spent in a
life of active service in our midst, a
good woman passes away, the sad
ness deepens into sorrow and the
loss becomes a personal one to a
large circle of f j lends. Such ia the loss
Corvallis has sustained in the death
of Mrs. Leona McNulty. A child
of the Sunny South, she was . mar
ried in her 'teens and at the early
age of twenty years was left a 'wid
ow with an infant son, and soon af
ter coming with the family of her
father, the late B. T. Taylor, to this
town where she has resided contin
uously since. She wa,3 a woman of
strong individuality, of generous
impulses and great energy, and
while she made her hom& with her
father, she preferred to be independ
ent. With a passionate love for
tho-beautiful and naturally artistic,
when she turned her attention to-
dress-making she proved a success,
and for over twenty" yearB her life
has been a busy one. Her ckild
had grown to early manhood, and
giying promise of mora than ordin
ary talent, when he fell, a victim of
consumption. He was a devoted
sen and her loss was irreparable.
Of fine personal appearance, a wo
man of queenly carriage, sae was a
true type of tha southern matron
who graced the homes of tha South
in its palmy days. But when the
conditions changed they bravely met
the issues and carried into their
business lines that touch of dignity
that always commands respect and
she was ever a welcome guest - in
the homes of her patrons on all 00-
casions. wnen. a tewmontns since
her health failed, she hoped by care
and rest to regainjt. But wjien ft
few'weeks ago it was revealed to
her that she was in the last stages
of consumption, she met her fate
with the same high courage that
had sustained her in the past, and
conscious of a life well spent, she
went forward bravely to meet the
end, with a fall assurance, that the
Ruler of the Universe is not un
mindful of His own, and that "He
doeth all things well."
Leona Taylor was born at Col
nmbus, Miss., August 29, 1846. She
married James McNulty in that
city, December 27, 18C6. In com
pany with her parents and other
members of her familv she and her
husband came to Saa Francisco via

Killed a Deer.
Walter ' Wicks has a young
bird dog of which he is quite
proud. Wednesday afternoon,
in company with Cass Bryant, he
went into the prune orchard of
Joe Bryant, a mile or so north of
Corvallis, for the purpose of teach
ing the pup to retrieve. Walter
had a shotgun loaded with No. 6
shot and desired to shoot some
thing with features on in order to
see how his canine would act.
The boys "jumped" a deer, in
the orchard and Walter shot at
it, the charge taking effect in the
back of the deer's head. It, ran
a short distance and stopped,
when the young deer-slayer
sneaked up and shot it again,
this time with fatal effect. The
lads were greatly excited and
nearly wore themselves out in an
attempt to cut the animal's
throafc with an old pocket-knife
with a badly nicked blade.. The
animal was a 2-year.old buck.
Deer have frequently been seen
near town of late. Yesterday
morning, while going out to the
Odd Fellows' cemetery, Oliver
-I Treese and Henry Gerber saw a
deer just -west of town.
