Automobile Smashed.
Down at the foot af a 150-foot
embankment about four miles
beyond Sum mit. with wheels
pointing skyward, twisted into a
shapes and badly
J smashed generally, lies what re
I mains of a fine two-seated auto
! mobile. Tne accident occurred
nearly a week ago while John
Moyer, a gunsmith of Salem,
and three companions were en
route from Corvallis to Newport.
This is probably the first time an
'auto has ever attempted this- tor
tuous road but the novelty ol tne
trip appealed, to the romantic
natures of the gentlemen in ques
tion and that is how the auto
mobile got into the scrape.
Everything went well until the
summit was reached and tne de
scent on the west side of the
Coast Range began. There are
some pretty steep grades and the
wagons have cut deep narrow
ruts. The view from the sum
and beyond for several miles is
also one of surpassing beauty and
it was while the aato-wagou was
puffing and snorting down one of
these particularly bad stretcnes 01
road and the chauffeur was, rub
bering round through the can
yons that the spill took piace. -
The automobile ran into the
bank on the upper side of the
road and Moyer, who was doing
the steering act, twisted the crank
violently in the opposite direction.
The auto grunted a couple oi
times, rolled over on its back and
with a wild snort started down
the 150 foot grade, demolishing
two rail fences, grinding dirt and
stones to powder and leaving a
trail behind similar to a Kansas
cyclone. The dead auto is lying
at ihe foot of the grade still, si
lent and cold. The occupants
were not seriously iniured, but
have been in no mood to make a
post-mortem examination 01 the
poor, old machine.

Another smallpox patient was
corralled Wednesday mormug in
the person of Ed Dugan, who is

recognizing the tell-tale spots
upon his lace as smallpox, com
manded him to throw up bis
hands. Dr. Farra was called
and considered it a good catch.
Where Dugan cangut the dis
ease is not known, but as it was
still in its insipiency no danger
was encountered by his running
at large. There is also a case of
measles at Philomath that Dr.
Farra has been asked to investigate.
