Mrs. Carrick. and Sam Moore - and Son Have ' Narrow Escaped v Electric road talk is beginning to have its effect upon property along its proposed route between her? and Monroe. Last week a big farm was sold and if Jhe electric line be comes an accomplished fact the value of collateral properly wiil be enhanced fifty per cent or more. The farm in question is the Gird ranch where J. N. McFadden is now living and the purchaser is John Watkins lately arrived from Nevada, Iowa. The farm includ ing the Long Tom part, comprises 450 acres, and it -went at$26 50 per acre, or . a total of $ 1 2,375. Mr. Watkins is to leave shortly for Iowa to close up his affairs there, after which he will return this autumn and take possession. The sale was made by Ambler & Wal ters. 1 Mr.McFaddjM has no plana for the immediate future .s On last Friday evening at . the home of J. W. Crawford: a farewell reception was tendered Rev. atd Mrs. Carrick by the members of the Young Peoples' Society . of the rresbytenan church. The evening was thoroughly en joyed by all. An interesting pro gram of music and readings had been prepared and was rendered in a very creditaMs manner. A delicious banquet was served and many-a-many lajigh followed many-a-many a jest around the festive board. Then came the toasts which were proposed by Miss Ethel Kyle -and responded to as follows: "The Young Peoples' Society" by Piof. Shaw, "The Parson" bv Mrs. Carrick, "East and West" 1 by Miss McCormack, "The Parsons' Wife" by Rev. Carrick, "Our Vacation Time" by C. L. Shepard. At the close of the banquet, Miss Agnes Weber iu behalf of the Young Peoples' Society and as a token of their asteem presented Mrs.' Car rick with a beautiful china tea set. Mrs. Carrick responded in a very charming manner. Although ti e occasion possessed ' its element of sadness, yet no gloom was , allowed to darken the sky already clouded by Mr. and Mrs. Carrick's intend ed departure knowing that1 clouds are dispelled only by sunshine. In losing the pastor and his wife, the Society suffers greatly for they spent themselves in helping the young people of their church and laid 'at least one stone in the temples of all their characters. o. xx. jnoore. ana. son naa an experience a; few days ago" that for uniqueness and all the other 'adjectives applicable to a genuine holdup t rivals, f any thingVia : the history of Benton county. ."They were held up .by hornets," a ntst of big black Alsea hornetst r Sam and his boy were going over into jhe Five Rivers country for a load ot chittim. They came to the forks of the ioadA' both roads leading to thel same place, but one a new road, several miles shorter than the other. Of course the shorter road was chosen but it lead Sam and-his son to their Waterloo. Besides - being - new, the road included two or three sky scraper mountains that had to be scaled, two or three "jump off Joe's"; This road is so high in places that 200 foot firs down in the canoa below, . look " no larger thin a man's thumb and it runs so close to the edge of the precipice that travellers have "to" hang to the bushes to keep from rolling off into space. , j Sam says, "that if anyone had been looking at him while he was travelling over the most of that road they could have seen : his lips moving in silent prayer, fof nobody can ttavel that road and " not' feel re ligious. It was while they were at one . of the, most dangerous points, midway between earth and sky on this road , that the horses,, a young wild team of cay use ponies, suddenly vaulted clear of the earth - and gave a snort that would have put a geys er to shame. 1 -J The wagon in passing over a stump or somehow or other, neither of the two. went back to see,Jhad stirred up about a bucket ful of these big black ready-for-business hornets, Sam says that when he realized what bad hap pened and had taken a sudden peek over into the canyon below that his hair ran right straight up through his hat. . To have been thrown over the precipice would have been certain death. How it happened that the wagon did not go over is a' mystery and how the whole outfit came out of the scrimmage . with only about a dozen or so stings is beyond Sam's com prehension. The horses jumped and ran and kept the road marvellously well and stopped a short distance be yond. The hornets, the horses being a little too swift for them , turned their attention to Sam and the boy and soon had them in full retreat.. A careful, examination and diagnosis revealed only, a few, swollen spots and ; nobody "dead, missing or minus his money. Many people have complained of the hornets on the coast this year and all agree that they are a perfect nuisance, as they are oblivious or the rights of others, and always resent any kind of in trusion. There is one blessing. however, and f that is they kill . a.. : . t-a. t ... cvciy uy iu aiguu rrom morning tin nignc tney cnase rues, house flies, blue-bottles and ', borseflies. and whenever a pig. hornet- pujts in his appearance at a farm bouse all flies suddenly; disappear, . the only ; inconvenience, being that they sometimes have to be fished out of the molasses.' - - " . - : t"V .- - : -r - - .
