What might have been a far
more serious accident occurred
Tuesday afternoon while Cecil
Price, of Kings Valley was re
turning from Corvallis and was
descending the west side of Card
well hill just west of this city.
The buggy which contained Mr.
Price, his wife and little baby,
was forced upon the heels ol a
young and spirited team by the
breaking of the pole straps. Mr.
Price, when the horses became
frightened and began to run
pulled them violently into a tence
corner and managed to throw out
his wife and baby upon the
ground and succeeded also in ex
tricating himself. The fright
ened animals took precipitate
flight down the road and were
stoDDed at the barn of Mr. Ma
son. No one was hurt but all
narticioants were badlv shaken
ud. The buggy was partially
demolished but the horses escaped
without much injury. Mr. Price
secured a rig of Mr. Lilly and
took his family home to Kings
Valley and returned the follow
day with his father who took the
runaway horses and buggy home
The Crefield Reward.
KILLS POULTRY.
A Peculiar Disease Which is Rav

The iso Crefield reward has

been placed in the hands ot Sher
iff Burnett, and the $200 of this
amount that was contributed by
individuals will be returned to
the donors on request. The $100
bffered by Benton reverts to the
county.
The cause of this is that O. V.
Hurt, the father of the boy, Roy
Hurt, who discovered the Holy
Roller leader and caused his ar
rest, refuses positively to allow
his son to accept the reward. Mr.
Hurt today declared that to per
mit any of the members of his
family to accept the reward
would seem as though a hope of
gain was all that influenced his
actions m the matter. riis po
sition is being received with com
mendatory comment by those
who have witnessed the strange
chapters.! the Holy Roller craze
as thev unfolded themselves and
were brought to a finish in the cap
ture of the leader.- Telegram.

Prof. E. F. Pernot, state bac
teriologist, reports the appearance
for the first time of a peculiar dis-
ease, connnea almost exclusively
to poultry. It has made its ap
pearance simultaneously in dit
ferent parts ot the state, notably
Southern Oregon, Hood River,
La Grande and Willamette Val
ley. It is said to be contagious
when once contracted, and! is a
germ and is transmittable to dif
ferent members ot a nock. rrot.
Pernot has been working very in
dustrously of late making a com
plete diagnosis of the differ
ent carcasses submitted until he
is satisfied that a peculiar and
unheard of enemy of poultry
fanciers has made its first ap
pearance. In all the literature
on the subject of the diseases of
poultry there is nothing descrip
tive of the present ailment and to
the best of available knowledge
upon the subject nothing similar
has previously made its appear
ance. It is called contagious
pneumonia. It is similar to the
disease of the same name in cat
tle, horses and man with this one
exception that it is contagious.
It was first discovered in the
flock of Bowen Lener. who is a
fancier of pure White Wyan
dottes. Out 01 a nock ot 100
birds fiftv have died within the
past three weeks. The dead
birds were taken to Prot. Pernot
with the above result Last
week W. G. Emery, who has
gone to much expense in devel
oping his flock 01 pure Plymouth
Rocks was deeply disappointed
to see his own birds beginning to
drooD and die. Within a week
A.
he lost 28 out of his flock ot 50,
About the same time reports
began to come in from other
points in the state of the dying
off of chickens, and Prof. Pernot
who is state bacteriologist was
asked to make an investigation
In every case it was found that
the lungs of the dead birds were
congested. The symptoms of
the appearance in the flock be
gin with a drooping, languid
disposition on the part of the
afflicted ones, followed by suffo
cation and death, which otten
takes place within six hours from
the time they are first taken,
though they sometimes linger
several davs betore deuh re
lieves the sufferer, but death
seems certain if thev are once at
tacked. The sickly birds take
the disease first and it is trans
mitted to the healthiest members
otthe flock from germs in the
feed and drinking water. It is
said to be caused by climatic
conditions, the present hot days
followed by cool nights. It com
mences first as a slight cold and
gradually develops. Prof. Per
not is at present experimenting
upon the flock of W. G. Emery
and has succeeded in checking
the disease to such an extent that
the disease has stopped its rav
ages. He has prescribed a die
which consists of a grain of qui
nine in tablet form given once
day and a very light feed ot mash
consisting largely of green on
10ns. lettuce, etc. A drop or
two of creosote is put into each
pan of drinking water as a disin
fectant. Lime is also scattered
freely about the yard and sleep
ing apartments of the fowls
is hoped that nothing more sen
ous may develop to increase the
disease as there are several large
and costlv flocks in and about

Woodcock-Lane Wedding,
Heroine's Long-Delayed Reward.
In the presence of thirty rela
tives and lriends, the wedding of
Arthur R. Woodcock and Miss
Clara Laue was solemnized at the
beautifully decorated home of the
bride's parents, Mr and Mrs. W.
G. Lane of this city, Wednesday,
August 17th, at 11 o'clock a. m.
Rev. Frank Moore performed the
ceremony which was snort, due
very impressive, the ring cere
mony being used. v
The bride looked very attrac
tive and handsome in her dainty
trouseau of white organdie with
appropriate trimmings; she car
ried a shower bouquet of white car
nations. The groom, as is cus
tomary on such occasions, wore
the conventional black. The
bride and groom during the cere-
mony were unatrenuea. 1 nen
they were congratulated by their
friends and relatives present, alter
which they all repaired to the
dining room where a most tempt
ing menu of light refreshments
was served by the hostess of the
occasion.
The decorations, consisting of
asparagus lern, wnue ciemans
and sweet peas, were so artistic
ally arranged and corresponded so
perfectly with the coloring of the
room as to produce a most pleas
ing effect The ceremony was
performed beneath a lover's knot
of white silk ribbon arranged in
deep festoons of asparagus fern,
with a massive bower ot the same
construction forming a beautiful
back-ground. The bude's bou
quet was caught by Miss Mayme
Rouland who, according to tradi
tion, will be the first of the bride's
girl friends to be married.
The happy couple were show
ered with rice and old shoes and
when they arrived at the depot
where another crowd of young
oeoDle were gathered they were
subjected to the same good
natured tokens of future happi
ness.
They departed on the 1:30
train to Portland where Mr.
Woodcock will engage tempo
rarily in business.
The bride is the popular daugh
ter of W. G. Lane, our highly
esteemed chief of police. The
groom is the popular and enter-
nrising son of one of the tore-
most citizens of Corvallis, M. o.
Woodcock, president of the First
National Bank. Both young
people are alumni ot the Oregon
Agricultural College, the groom
also having taken the post-grad
uate course for M. S.
The presents consisted of s
magnificent array of silverware,
doilies, drawn work and batten-
berg.
Among the guests were the
grandmother of the groom, Mrs
Woodcock, ot balem. and an
aunt of the groom, Mrs. W. H.
Savage, ot the same city, and
Mr. and Mrs. Sinclair of Seattle
As the happy couple start on
liie's journey, with many bright
prospects before them, they are
accompanied by the best wishes
of a host of friends.

On Sunday night while the
heavily-loaded excursion train
was climbing up to the summit
of the mountains from Yaquiua
bay the engineer, in passing
through tunnel No. 3, saw ahead
of him in the tunnel a couple o
cows. The train at this point
alwavs runs slow, and on that
occasion less than lour miles an
hour was the speed. The cows
retreated before the advancing
engine, but in place of leaving
the track after getting out ot the
tunnel, they kept on the track
and went down between the ties
on the trestle. The train was
promptly brought to a stand and
the cows extricated. The train
was running so slow that it could
be brought to a stop in ten teet,
and there was no danger from
Upon the publication of Mrs.
Eva Emery Dye,s graphic narra
tive of the expedition of Lewis
and Clark to the Pacific Coast
the Inter-Ocean editorially direct
ed attention to the services of
Sacajawea. the heroine of the
famous exploration, and suggest
ed that; she should be enrolled
among-, the nation's notable
women., It was further suggest
ed that the women of the countiy
should erect a statue of the In
dian women at the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition at St. Louis,
the starting point of the ex
pedition of 1804.
It now appears that the suggest
ion has been taken up in far
away Oregon. Portland is to
hold in 1905, a Lewis and Clark
Centennial in celebration of the
centenary of the first crossing of
the continent. The women of
Oregon, Washington, Montana,
daho,v and the Dakotas have
taken up the project of erecting
a memorial to Sacajawea suitable
to the occasion. It is proposed
erect a statue to cost about
$6odo. It has been thought
fitting that the sculptor should
be a women and a Westerner,
and Miss Alice Cooper, of Colo
rado, has been suggested.
Readers who are familiar with
that great American classic, the
Journal of Lewis and Clark, or
who have enjoyed "The Con
quest," will remember Sacajawea
and her services to the explorers.
Lewis and Clark found her in
their winter camp among the
Mandans. She was. a captive
Shoshone girl of 16, and the
slave wife of a French half-breed
interpreter. She would have
died in child-birth had it not
been for the aid of the explorers.
la the spring she and husband
and baby went West with the
party.
When the explorers had aban
doned their canoes and were ap
proaching the Gates of the Moun
tains they stood face to face with
failure, because of the lack of
horses. It was Sacajawea who
pacified the Shoshones, obtained
horses, and smoothed the way
through the Flatheads and the
Nez Perces. Passing over her
many services during the winter
spent at the mouth of the Colum
bia, it was Sacajawea who guid
ed the party on the return trip.
She seemed to have the instinct
ot the homing pigeon, and time
and again found the way out of
the wilderness.
Sacajawea understood the im
portance of the expedition, and
was in earnest tor its success as
were its leaders. Her services
were great, if she was not the
salvation of Lewis and Clark.
Yet, when and where she died is
not known, and.no stone marks
her resting place.
The importance of the expedi
tion of Lewis and Clark is brought
strikingly to the mind by the
fact that the wilderness through
which Sacajawea guided them
100 years ago is how thickly
studded with the flourishing cities
that purpose to erect a statue to
their guide.
