Perclval Nash will Suffer no Permanent injury as a Besnlt of His Terrible Ex perience in Alaafca. The Gazette takes : pleasure in being able to correct the state ment published in the telegraphic dispatches a few weeks ago that Percival Nash, formerly of Cor vallis, has suffered the loss of one of his legs due to exposure to the storms of Alaska. Percival has sent the Gazette a copy of The Yukon Sun, pub lished at Dawson, under date .of February loth, giving a full ac count of his " terrible experience, which, fortunately, will leave no lasting injury. The article fol lows: ... 1 For five days and nights Percy Nash saw trouble such as comes to the lot of few men. He lay for that length of time with his leg badly gashed with an ax, ex posed to the elements and for a part of the time without food. When rescued he "was weakly try ing to decoy his faithful dog close enough to him to kill it in order that he might secure the food he craved. vS- . A brief item to the effect that Nash had met with an accident on the; Upper Stewart reached the city some time ago. Details were lacking. They are now suDDlied Tv George Gordon, of the firm of Gordon & Hoy, who conducted a store and roadhouse at Duncan's Landing. Mr. Gor don brought -the injured man to Dawson Sunday. S Mr. Nash is a member of the firm of Braine & Nash, traders on the Upper Stewart, their head quarters being on Lansing creek," he said. 'He left there to go across the country some time in September to see a hunter. One night in making camp he drove an ax into his leg near the shin bone. "He happened to have a needle and thread in his clothes and sewed up the wound as best he could.: He then wrote a note and tied it to his dog's neck with a piece of jstring.. Then he tried to drive the animal away, hoping it would return to headquarters on Lansing creek, and that his partner would learn of his pre dicament and come to his aid. The' faithful animal, however, refused to leave him. . "For five days and nights the trader lay there, unable to move. Even a slight movement cost him an effort and he was in constant pain. V His grub was light and -bet immediately placed himselt on an allowance of a quarter of a pound each day. This soon gave out and on the fifth day, when help arrived, he was in a half famished condition. v ''A1 man named Wood was crossing the country hunting moose and took a shot at one. Nash heard the shot and answered it. In a short time Wood came up to where the trader was lying. By that time Nash was trying to get his dog , near him, . where he could kill it for food. Wood managed to summon assistance and stayed with the trader until his partner had been communi cated with, making the injured man as comfortable as was in his power. It was found to be too late to come down by open water". "As soon as ice formed Braine took a dog team and toboggan and hauled his wounded partner 150 miles to Duncan's Landing, breaking trail the greater part of the way. This trip required from Christmas day to February 1. "I took a dog team and started for Dawson with Mr. Nash on February 2. We got here Sun day night, being seven days on the way. -The trail was badly drifted and we made comparative ly: good time. Two of his friends, Messrs. Baker and Freeman, live in a cabin near the end of the Klondike bridge. Mr. Nash is with them and will be given sur gical and medical assistance with out loss of time. He had en dured a great deal and is in a very weakened condition, but po-J sesses a fine constitution and will pull through all right." Struck Salt. The Salem Stateman is authority for the statement that Joseph , Hirschberg has developed one of the best salt wells in the United States, on the W hi taker farm five miles from Independence. . It says that Mr. Hirschberg will abandon his search for oil and turn his en ergy toward developing the salt in dustry. It seems that' no one is sure just when the salt was struck, but along in June last its effect wa noticed on the tools' used in drilling and finally one of the men tasted the water and found it very briny. However, nothing was thought of this, and the wails were cased in as the drilling went deeper. Fin - ally a large flow of salt water was struck, and one day one of the help' ' era boiled one . and abalf gallons of the liquid until the water was all evapoiated, and a pound: of pure salt was left. Samples of this salt were analyzed, at the expeiiment station at Corvallis, by the South ern Pacific Railway Company, and by the Salt Combine, and, as a re suit, the salt was round to be chem ically pure, analyzing. 99 per cent pure. This analysis shows it to be one of the best salt: wells in the United : Staes in regard to quality of the product. It i3 Understood to be Mr. Hirschberg's : intention to plug the well just below the salt flow and develop a salt well. The plant which he is planning to build to handle the output of the well will cost in the neighborhood of $15,000. ,- Senator Mitchell's Condition. Mr. S. A. Clarke, writing from Washington, February 24th, says ho has just called on Sena tor Mitchell, who has been ill for nearly a month, but is decid ly gaining. The A senator has simply overworked himself. In addition to his senatorial duties and department work he has had to digest the evidence and pre pare the report of fthe Hawaii Commission, and actually put in eighteen hours a da ibr over a month. His doctor, says this brought on a . torpid condition of the stomach' that caused his ill ness, but he ..finds no organic trouble. He says it is seldom that any man of Senator Mitch ell's age has his vitsl organs in so good shape as has the senator. Mr. Mitchell is. too busy with senatorial and other duties to of ten take part in social functions, he is a carelul liver, uses no liquor nor eats to excess, but suf fers occasionally f rfn overwork. He has reached af time in life when every no needs to be care ful as to overdoing. i He has al ways been a' phenomenal worker and hopes to be up and at it again in .a few days. ? An Herocc Remedy.

A meeting of much importance to the citizens of Benton county, and which had for its object the benefit of the material welfare of this community, was held at the court house, Saturday night. . Professor E. R. Lake presided and Superintend errt F. V. Drake, of the Oregon Bureau of Infor mation, of Portland, addressed the meeting, . setting forth the nature of the bureau, its object and what it was doing. He said that some of the leading citizens of Portland, realizing the mutual advantage which would . result to the state and the multitude of home-seekers who will come to Oregon this spring, recently sub scribed to a fund amounting to over $16,000 for the purpose of establishing a Bureau of. Infor mation. The purpose of the or ganization is to ascertain and tab ulate the resources of the state, gather an exhibit of its products and be prepared to tell all about Oregon and the resources of the several .counties to all persons de siring information on the subject to direct settlers and capital to opportunities awaitiuer them in the state. The board of trustees ask the citizens of each county to have prepared a map showing town ship lines and drawn to scale of miles, on which shall be desig nated all streams, county roads, railroads, navigable waters, mountain -ranges, etc. , and by appropriate coloring and notes denoting the location of lands suitable for grains, flax, hops, fruits, and the like; also cities, with number of inhabitants and such further information as may be of public interest. These maps are to be sentrto the Bureau at Portland. With each map should be sent a concise state ment, in suitable pamphlet form, containing full data of crops of all kinds, climate, mineral pro ducts, number and rarities of stock, etc. Concessions have been granted by the leading railroad and steam boat lines for transmission from various stations to Portland, free of charge, all-samples and exhi bits. These will be placed iri, a large, well-lighted room in the new union depot at Portland, and competent' persons will , be in charge of the exhibition room to give information and . distribute the literature withflut expense to localities or counties. " Ataturday ights'meeting Wm. Currin, E. E. Wilson arid Dr. Harper 1 were appointed : a committee to consider the matter of collecting an' exhibit for Ben ton county. The meeting ad journed to meet last . night when the committee reported and defi nite' atrrangemeuts were made for having this county represented in the. bureau. The League believes that the county court and council of the city of Corvallis should contribute to the fund for preparing a map and an , exhibit, and they will probably be asked to do so.
