Our sportsmen who have kept a
close lookout on the China pheas
ant proposition with a view to shoot

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. Those
who are, noated state that if the

first broods are lost on account of
the weather the parent birds do not
nest much latei.
In the last issue of the Gazette
it was mentioned that Mrs. J. W.
Walker, who formerly resided near

the insane asylum from Monmouth.
Her mental derangemeut was
brought about by the death of her
child.. We are reliably informed
since our last issue that Mrs. Walk
er's death has occurred in the asy
lum. This is certainly a sad affair
and Benton county friends will re
member it with regret.
Last Saturday, while trying to
push a cartridge into a shotgun, the

and cut a gash two or tbree inches
long. The face of the other boy

John Barnhart.
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

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.
