FLOODS.
The memory of man is, short
on some things and exceeding
long on others. For instance,
get a few men together and let
them discuss the weather of the
preceding winter and it will be
almost a miracle if any two agree
even on the main events. So it
ia with the memorable floods
born to the Willamette river.
We hear from one old settler
w'ln was here at the time and
should know, that the greatest
Witrh water in this river, so far
as is known to man, occurred in
1860. This pioneer's neighbor
will declare that the flood occur
red in 1861, ahd be emphatic in
hisi statement, for he was here
and knows. Each and every
man will prove his point by cit
ing some personal experience.
Early in the '80s we had very
high water at least so it is said
but it is not safe to set the
exact date. The next very high
water was in February, 1890.
We know this date to be abso
lutely correct, for we were here
and have several personal exper
iences to cite in proof of our set
ting of the date. The high wa
ter mark reached by the Willam
ette river a few days ago was
between 26 and 27 feet above the
low-water mark. In 1890 the
river at Corvallis was between
- 28 and 29 feet above the low-
water mark.
Since the notable floods of
years ago the country has been
cleared up and many obstructions
removed from the river bed so
that it is probable that there
was fully as much water flowed
through the Willamette Valley
during the past few days as dur
ing any of the inundations of
former years.
Despite care and every possi
ble provision against these un
usual rises of the river much
damage is done. In all hun
dreds of head of stock are lost
and miles and miles of fencing,
together with other items of
damage too numerous to men
tion. YEAR OF DISASTERS.
During the past twelve months
some of the greatest disasters of
history have occurred. Great
and unknown forces have caused
earthly disturbances which seem
ed on the point of rending the
globe in fragments. These great
seismic demonstrations but em
phasize man's impotency and
convey to him some slight idea
of a power toD great for human
intelligence to fathom.
Beginning with the great ser
ies of earthquakes in and around
San Francisco on the 18th of last
April we have an almost contin
uous chronicle of tremblors on
various parts of earth's anatomy.
The troubles have not been con
fined to any particular section of
the globe, but shocks have re
sulted in deadly havoc in Calif
ornia, Valparaiso, Japan, Jam
aica and elsewhere- Death and
destruction of property resulted
everywhere and the greatest that
could result from the feeble pow
er of man was to succor the dis
tressed, bury the dead and re
build. . The latter tasK in many
instances being one of years.
Aside from great internal
earthly, troubles the history of
the past year proves that there
have been many and disastrous
external demonstrations- The
year has marked many terrible
storms throughout the land and
the weather has been unusually
severe. Transportation in al
most every section has suffered
Freezing weather, wind and rain
and thunder and lightning in al
lopatbic doses have been dealt ha-r
manity ; with s y lavish hand jand
we have tdtakelt! ' jv "
Right here inOregon, m the
Willamette Valley, we have been
verv fortunate and have much
to be thankful for.' ' We have
had heavy rains, some snow and
all or more high water than we
need and considerable in excess
of our average but in spites of all
this our lot, compared with what
people in other sections have ex
perienced, has Ibeen a happy
one. In the way of physical dis
turbances the last year has been
most remarkable. ,
In Her Memory. '
Mrs. James Harris of Inde
pendence, Ore., died at the home
of her son J. D. Harris of Wells
at 6 p. m., Jm. 27, 1907 after an
illness of one month marked by
very severe suffering.

1826. Was married to James
Harris Dec. 10, 1749. Mr. and
Mrs. Harris made their home in
Franklin Co., Ohio, until 1863
when they removed to Center
ville, Iowa, remaining there un
til May 1866 when they started
on the long journey across, the
plains with ox teams. They ar
rived at Corvallis in October of
the same year and have made
their home ever since in Benton
and Polk counties, living in In
dependence tor the past thirteen
years. Mr. and Mrs. Harris came
to spend the holidays with their
childr n in Benton Co., where
Mrs. Harris was taken with the
illness from which she was not to
recover. The father and daugh
ter return to the home from
which mother has gone forever.

and J. D. Harris or Benton coun
ty, and Miss Nellie Harris of In
dependence. Also eight grand
children, five sons and daughters
were wit1! their mother when the

church ot Independence of which

Slap at the Governor.
A dispatch from Salem
in
Tuesday's Oregonian says:
The Senate today passed over
the Governor's" veto House Bill
No. 95 by Newell, to provide for
the testing of commercial ferti
lizers offered for sale in this state.
This was House Bill No. 95, of
the session of 1905. The Gov
ernor vetoed it because it requir
ed officers of the experiment sta
tion at Corvallis to secure evi
dence, prosecute cases and seize
fertilizers offered for sale illegal-
ly
The bill passed the house
over the Governor's veto the
first week of the session.
When the measure came up in
the senate today Johnson of Ben
ton explained its purpose and ad-
ocated its passage. Miller of
Linn opposed it. The vote was
18 ayes, 7 noes and 5 absent.
Malarkey, who was the only
republican voting against the
bill, explained that two years
ago he voted against it, but at
that time all the democrats in
the senate were tor it. He did
not know then that the governor
intended to veto it

for the second time within three weeks.
Rain felt Bteadily all of Saturday and
Saturday night, Sunday 'morning and

night, and the warm weather and rain
combined melted the suow in the moon

(such quantities that the river at Cor

stated that it reached a point 18 inches
higher than the flood of recent . date.

MYTHICAL CREATURES.
14
The General Belief In FabatoDi Mou
nters In Olden Days.
Now that the cold light of science
has thrown its ray upon the most re
mote parts of our globe there is no
longer room for legendary creatures
save the sea serpent and we are told
that the mermaid is nothing more than
a dugong, a unicorn either a rhinoceros
or a Tibetan antelope, while the cocka
trice, the phoenix and the roc appear
to be pure imaginations.
But in the Elizabethan age an age
when the dodo had but recently been
discovered these and many other
mythical creatures were, if not living,
at all events actual realities to the or
dinary public, and as such were refer
red to in the works of the great drama
tist and other contemporary writers.
We meet, for instance, in the "Win
ter's Tale" the line. "Make me not
sighted like the basilisk," and in "The
Tempest," "Now. I will believe that
there are unicorns." But not only was
more or less of credulity given to the
existence of these and such like' fabu
lous monsters, but a web of mystic
lore encircled the most common and
best known of beasts, birds and fishes.
Who, for Instance, is forgetful of the
popular superstitions connected with
the salamander, the newt' and the
blindworm, and who fails to remember
White's account of the "shrewash" at
Selborne? And if such superstition
still survive among uneducated peas
ants of the present day we may be as
sured that two centuries ago they were
fully believed by the higher classes.

WORKS OF A WATCH.
AU the Parts Are bnt the Expression
of One Idea.
To one who has never studied the
mechanism of a watch Its mainspring
or the balance wheel is a mere piece of
metal. He may have looked at the face
of the watch, and while he admires the
motions of Its bands . and the time It
keeps he may have wondered .In idle
amazement as to the character of the
machinery which Is concealed within.
Take It to pieces and show him each
part separately, and lie will recognize
neither design nor adaptation nor rela
tion between them, but put them to
gether, set them to wort, point out the
offices of each spring, wheel and cog,
explain 1 their movements and then
show him the result Now he perceives
that it is all one design; that, notwith
standing the number of parts, their di
verse forms and various offices and the
agents concerned, the whole piece is of
one Idea. Be now rightly concludes
that when the mainspring was fashion
ed and tempered its relation to all the
other parts must have been considered;
that the cogs on tills wheel are cut and
regulated adapted to the ratchets on
that, etc, and his final conclusion will
be that such a piece of mechanism
could not have been produced by
chance, for the adaptation of the parts
is such as to show it to be according to
design and obedient to the will of one
intelligence.
Fifty Miles to Market.
It Is not an uncommon thing In

miles from home In wet weather with

and a waterproof coat on, and starts
Off to market He may go fifty miles
before be finds a market that suits him,
or he may know In advance just where

body driving fifty miles through a rain
storm in the United States to find a
market for a load of hay, but It is not
uncommon to see farmers' wagons for
