Our sportsmen who have kept a close lookout on the China pheas ant proposition with a view to shoot ing this fall, declare that the pros pects for an abundance of birds are not flattering. - It is said that pheasauts are unusually scarce, and the reason attributed for this fact is the.late spring rains.

It is with exceeding sorrow ana . ! i :ri I regret that it becomes our painful duty to chronicle the death of John Barnhart, which occurred in this city, last Friday, August 15, 1902, that we indite this no tice. For years Mr. Barnhart had been in the habit of visiting our office daily, reading the ex changes and conversing with us. We had grown to look upon him as a part of the force and to re spect him as a father. . He was of a cheerful disposition and wished no man harm. His life had been one of varied experi ences and his mind was clear, ac tive and alert, making his a most entertaining personality. He was in this office during the afternoon preceding his death and seemed to be in his usual good health and spirits. After leaving this office he visited the Agricultural Hall which is near ing completion at the O. A. C. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon he arrived at his home and com plained to his wife that he was experiencing some pain in his stomach. However, on retiring for the night he gave no evidence that his end was drawing near. Friday morning he arose as usual and proceeded to where his wife was bnsy with her household duties. He drank a cup of coffee and, on the advice of Dr. Flint, ate lightly: Later on he went back to his chamber and went to bed. At no time did he make any particular com plaint and his wife and other members of the family did not suspect that his condition . was serious. Zlrs. Barnhart's household duties called her to his bed chamber and, as he was lying awake, conversation ensued as she worked about the room. During this time Mr. Barnhart started to arise from be 3 and she noticed that he .was sitting on the edge of the bed with his feet on the floor. Presently she no ticed that he had fallen back on the bed, and as she advanced to brush the flies away, she spoke to him, but received no answer. Then it was that the truth dawn ed on her that her husband was no more. John Barahart was born in the vpar 1X01 in Lancaster countv, Ohin nnrl had rparhed the ae of m0re than 7 years. He lived in kt T.. J! Ohio, Indiana and Minnesota previous to corning to Oregon in 1889. On arriving in Oregon he look uo his residence 111 Cor vallis and has resided here almost constantly since that time. The funeral occurred at 2:30 p. m. bunday, and was under tne auspices of the Order 01 Odd Fellows, ot which order he had been a member tor 40. years. The interment was made in the Odd Fellows' cemetery. The deceased is survived bv his wife and two sons, Theodore and Charley, who reside in this city, and Mrs. Clara Newman, of Everett, Washington. He Wants to Know. Editor Gazette: Since the inauguration of the free ferry the countv court has authorized the ferrvman to collect fees for ser vices bevond certain hours. The ferryman is authorized to appro- rn-iatf snrh fees to his own use. It is presumed the court has fixed these charges, but we have net found anyone who knows what they are. We have heard com plaint, in a number of in stances, that excessive fees have been demanded by and paid to the ferryman. In justice to him, and for the protection of the public, the rates authorized for this services should be widely and 1 conspicuously published. The practice is vicious. Reason able fees should be collected and oaid over to the countv and the salary of the ferryman justly in creased. URION. We have taken some pains to find out regarding this matter. Orion" is Derfectlv correct in his claim that the rates of ferriage should be widely published and we are informed that the author ities are taking steps to this end. Notices are soon to be posted on the ferryboat and other conspicu ous places. However, it may be as well to allow the ferryman to retain what he collects after certain hours, as. it he is placed on a sttict salary, with no contingent or additional pay, it might prove - j:cc 1. . i 1. : VCrV UliUt-Ull. lJ dlVALCU 111111 alone about midnight When the ferry was purchase 1 bv the county in iqoi, the court made an order regulating this matter and nothine further has been done. The order bears date of. April 24th. iqoi, and is as follows: "It is ordered that the be i charged ana collected, be- it. i r o ;ii i the evening and 6 o'clockJn the morning, from May ist, 1901, till the further order of "this court, towit: Footmen.' ; cts. : single rig,' 15 cts.; two-horse rig, 25 cts. : ;v. - .- Was Drowned. - Word reached this city Satur day evening to the effect that James Moore had been drowned in the Willamette river between Harrisburg and Peoria about 4 o'clock that afternoon. From what can be ascertained, itap nears that Mr. Moore was assist ing to bring a drive of logs dowq the nver to the Corvallis saw mill when the accident occurred. He undertook to break up a "log jam" and in some manner was thrown into the ; water. One ac count is to the effect that he swam across the ' river to the bank, but the bank orovine very J A. w steep, he could not get out of the water and he grasped a small root or something for support. This broke and he undertook td swim to the opposite side of the river, but was unable to make the shore and sank. The cur rent in the river was very swift and parties with the unfortoriate man were unable to render any assistance. James Moore was about 43 years of. age and had lived here for many . years. He leaves a widow and five children. He was a son of Mrs. O. J. Treese and a brother of William and George Moore of "this city, who survive him. Mr. Moore was a Maccabee and carried an insur ance of $ 1,000 on his life. The Maccabees are rendering every assistance possible for the re covery of the body, but . up to the hour of going to press we have not learned if the body has been tound. Railway "Smash-Up." Yesterday morning as the C. & E. train from the coast was pulling into Philomath, it caught a hay wagon containing 1. W. Hudson and. Milton Wyatt as they were endeavoring to cross the track and it is a miracle that both of the men were not kilted. The wagon was cut squarely in two and the hind wheels re mained on one side of track, while the horses ran oft with the forewheels and hounds. Both of the men were thrown some dis tance. Milton Wyatt was picked up unconscious and bruised about the head. His condition is not considered serious. T. W.Hud- son fared far worse. His thigh was badly broken, and be was otherwise bruised. The railroad officials rendered everv assistance to the iniured men. Mr. Hudson they brought to Corvallis and arranged to have Drs. Pernot and fcarra take charee of him on his arrival. He was taken to the Tunison home, near the court house, and his fractured limb set and made as comfortable as possible. It is hoped that in time both men will fullv recover. The accident occurred right in Phiiomath. It is stated that no blame can be attached to the rail road officials: as the train was on j time, the whistle had been sound ed eivinsr warnine of the ap broach ot the train, and the bell was ringing. It is said that there was a small clump of bushes that obscured the train iroin the men in the waffon until thev turned across the track, and then it was too late for them to save them selves.
