A shocking' accident, in which Arthnr Bouquet, the wellknown and popular OAC student lost a portion of the lett foot, occurred at Summit station, on the C. & B , Monday forenoon. The regular train from Ya quiea to Corvallis carried several OAC boys, among whom were Sam Dolan of Albany, Jack Kil pack of Portland and Arthur Bouquet of this city. At Summit the boys got off the train to pick some iapples. There was only a few moments time and as they started to get aboard Bouquet dropped hisap ples and stopped to pick them up. This made him late, and as he attempted to swing onto the platlorm his feet were knocked from under lim by the depot platform and he was thrown un der the' moving wheels and but ior Sam Dolan, who seized him bv the collar, and jerked him back, he would have been ground to deatb. As it was Dolin's brave rescue was not quite com plete, for one of Bouquet's feet was caught and frigtfully crush ed. ' The big toe was almost taken off and all the others were crushed and broken until amptf tation may be necessary. Dr. J. F. Hall, who is visiting relatives in this city, happened to be on the train coming out irom Elk City where he had been camping with his family. He dressed the mangled foot as best he could under the circumstances, and Bouquet was made, as com fortable as possible on the trip out. He bore up under the dis tressing accident with rare cour age, uttering no complaint and showing no weakness. Upon reaching Corvallis he was taken to his room at Heihg Hall where Drs. Pernot and Hall amputated the mangled big toe and dressed the injured loot. It is of course, impossible to state what the outcome ot the ac cident will be, although it is earnestly hoped the foot may be saved and further amputations may not be .necessary. Mr. Bouquet is a very popular student and as he has worked his way through OAC and has been striv ing to earn funds Jo carry him through an Eastern University there is widespread sympathy for him in his unfortunate mishap. The part Mr. DoJan played in the affair has elicited the highest praise frem those who witnessed the accident and saw the rescue. Football at W. U.

White, of New York, has been on a visit to the Wil lamette Valley for the purpose of contracting a large portion of the choice apples of the fall crop. In giving his opinions of Oregon he says some very pointed things and if the average farmer would profit by the suggestions it would be a mighty good thing for Oregon. Mr. White says among other things; "The only thing I see to ob ject o in this state is that the people a-e slow. Easy natural surroundings, where nature al most gives a good living it a rran but hoi is out his hand to take it, and lack of competition has made the people ' too easy going, not alive to the main chance, as the saying is. "Portland, right in the heart of a natural dairy country, has the highest, price on butter of p obably any city in the union. Pure milk is almost impossible to get. The price of eggs is beyond all reason. Now with such a maiket as this, with a great and glowing city simply clamoring for eggs, butter and miik, do you see anybody in Oregon alive to the chance to make a fortune out of such a -condition? 'No, sir. They just move along m . tne same sleepy way. The first thing they know Chica go, for instance,, that has more rustle in a day than Portland has in a month, will jump ' in here with eastern eggs, . butter ' and dressed ' poultry and sweep the market right out ot the hands of the almost lazy local farmers. "The average Oregon' and Washington farmer. ignores chickens. He leaves eggs, bu- ter and milk to the women folks. This part ot the country has for many years been in . something like the position of China, sort of cut off from the rest or civiliza tion. The railroads have been largely responsible, but be that as it may, the fac( remains that the Pacific Northwest is on the eve of some great changes. The esy-going mossback must go to the wall or else, w ike up and get .usy. Chicago, for instance, with her railroads reaching for markets even as far awav as Port land, is no respecter of 'old fami lies.' All Chicago cares about is money, the good hard cash, and if she ever gets inhere with her merciless financial ways Oregon farmers and merchants will have a poor 'excuse to" howl. They have tbeir chance right now, and are calmly sleeping over it. If they wake up with empty pocket books to find ' their market ia Portland and other coast citie:- being supplied at reasonable rates from 1000 miles away, it will be no one'9 fault but their own. They need not come to me for any sympathy. "With such land, such a cli mate, such a market, it is almost a disgrace that things here should be in the condition they are. Portland is crying for butter, paying in some cases 50 per cent over the the price paid in other cities and the farmer is roaming leisurely along, going fishing to day and working a little tomor row if it is not too hot. He has scrawny cattle and his chickens are half hawks." Want Better Service. People in Corvallis who travel northward to visit relatives in Polk county sympathize with Suver citizens in the plea for bet ter depot facilities. In regard to the matter the Oregonian says: J. E. James, of Suver, Polk county on behalf of himself and other shippers at that point, has filed with the Railroad Corrmis--ion a complaint against the Southern Pacific Company on ac count of inadequate depot facili ties. He alleges that the depot at Suver is a shed 10x20 feet and open on one side. In this pas sengers and freight find shelter and frequently the freight is dumped indiscriminately on the ground to be picked up by the owners or consignee" if he hap pens to know t is there. No agent is maintained there or- at Wellsdale or Parkersville, which are also points on the Southern Pacific line between Independ ence and Corvallis. Corvallis and Independence are 21 miles apart and shippers between must order cars from one of these points. Suveris situated "in one of the most fertile parts of the Wil lamette Valley, and the surround ing country is thickly settled with prosperous farmers, who are producing and shipping over the defendant's lines large quantities of grain, hops, livestock, dairy products and fruit," and the shippers think thev are entitled to better depot facilities. DEES DEATH OF HERO. Guy E. Moore Remains to be Brought to Oregon. Guy. E Moote, formerly a bright, popular student at OAC, is dead. He gave his life for others,, which is counted a hero's act. but bis tragic death will be widely mourned in Oregon, as he ' had many friends. The story of his passing is related in yesterday's- Journal" in a Chicago dis patch dated Wednesday. It says: At the sacrifice ot nis own lite, Guy E. Moore, 23 years old, -a student at the National Medical University, saved twe young men from death in Lake Michigan af ter a most heroic struggle against wind and waves.

Twice he swam from a capsized craft on the lake to shore, each time bearing as a burden the body ot one 01 nis friends. Then he sank to the ground exhausted and was taken to the hospital where he died. Moore's home wis at 294 Eu gene street, Portland,' Oregon, where his mother, Mrs. Sarah E. Moore, resides.

He was born at Prineville, where his tather was a prominent me: chant up to the time of his death six years ago. For the past three years the ycunj man bad been a medical student in Chicago and would have graduated next June. Dur ing the past year he was first as sistant at Dr. Lindlahr's naturo path sanatorium 308 Ashland boalevard.

Herbine will make -that liver perform its duties properly. J. B. Vaughn, Elba, Ala., writes: ' Be ing a constant sufferer from constipation and a disordered liver, I have found Herbine to be the best medicine for these troubles on the market. I have need it constantly. I believe it to be the best medicine of its kind, and I wish all suf ferers rom these troubles to know the good Herbine has done me.' Sold by Graham & Wortham. ...
