BOUQUET'S ACCIDENT.
OAC
Man Has Narrow; Escape
From Deatb.
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.

Willamette University promises
to take a prominent part in inter

OREGON MUST "WAKE UP;
So Says Easterner A Few Sharp
- Pointed Facts.
W. N. 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

his passing is related in yesterday's-
Journal" in a Chicago dis
patch dated Wednesday. It says:
At the sacrifice ot nis own lite,

student at the National Medical
University, saved twe young men

ter a most heroic struggle against
wind and waves.
Moore died this morning from
hemorrhage or the lungs caused
by the too great task which he
performed. 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.
Young Moore was a native

the state collegiate oratorical
contest at Eugene. He expected
to return to Portland after gradu
ating and practice his chosen
profession.

at the Corvallis Agricultural Col
lege. Don't Be Blue

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

good Herbine has done me.' Sold by
