The stories one reads of
hereic deeds are outdone in every
day life many, many times if
only the facts were I now i, and
many a plain, seemirgly com
mon place person ha. w'bin
them power and depth of cha ac-
ter undreamed of by even their
best friends. A case of this kind
is related in an Oregouian d s
patch from the Krebs hop yard
at Independence, Fridav, when
a slender, pale faced boy of 17
performed a deed of heroism for
which he sbou'd and perhaps
will receive a Carnegie medal.
The story is as follows:
A splendid feat ot strength and
courage was preformed here by
Michel Haney, a boy 17 years
old. He saved, under the most
trying conditions, a drowning
man who was fighting for life in
one of the rapids of the upper Wil
lamette. ' .
Harry Howatd, a young man
from Portland, who is employed
in Krebs Brothers big hop yard,
bad waded acoss shallow water
of the lagoon immediately above
the rapids. He had not intended
to bathe and was fully dressed.
In this condition the young ex
plorer tried to cross the river on
the rocks, a trick done sometimes
in lower water. A sup ot tne
foot, a great cry for help, and
Howard was struggling in a
whirlpool 20 feet deep. Imped
ed by big heavy shoes and drag
ged down by clinging garments,
he was powerless to fight against
the strength of the sucking water.
The current at, this point of
the river bears heavily against
the western bank. " Howard suc
ceeded in swimming there but
the steepness of the bank and
the swiftness of the stream kept
him from gaining a foothold. In
the meantime Michael Haney
had rushed to the bank, holding
out his hand for Howard to grasp.
The big man took hold, bat the
strain was too much for the
young strength of the boy. He
was, dragged into the whirlpool.
Both men were sucked to the
bottom. Howard's vitality was
gone and he gripped the boy
around the body. Haney strug
gled fierctly against the current
and the drowning man's clutch.
Inch by inch he swam to the sur
face and by superhuman st.ength
pulled Howard with him. Then
oegan the, battle with death, in
which the slim youngster fought
single-handed until he reached
the shore. O hers had gathered
there and lilted the helpless man
from tae water.
Howard was unconscious, but
an hour's woik restored bim t&
life. Haney was -exaustcd by his
rfforts, which eye witnesses sa
were beyond all beliet. His
strength was miraculous for How
-ird weighs nearly twice asvmuch
as the boy.
Haney Has been picking hoDS
at Krebs'. He is slight, pale,
little figure with thin lips. ' The
muscles of his body are small and
his sholders are stooped. In
looks he is a mere child. The
ireat teat can be explained only
v will power and this is the
main characteristic of the boy's
gray eyes. He is working his
way through the world. No one
seems looking out for the little
fellow. He los; every cent he
carried in the water, together
with the package of hop checks
ihat represented his two week'
labor. A subscription has been
started for him among the men
of the hopyards by the Y. W. C
A.' Tnat association is also tak
ing steps to have him recommend
ed for the Carnegie medel fot
bravery.

HAD THRILLING EXPERIENCE.
Corvallis People Swept out to Sea
at Newport...
There was talk around town
Saturday morning of a thrilling
experience that had befallen a
party of Corvallisites'at Newport
Friday evening, and although a
telephone message from a mem
ber of the party, received by i
Corvallis relative, denies the
story, full details of the affair ap
pear in Saturday night's Tele
gram. The story, as related in
that paper, is given here for
what it is worth, as the report
cannot be verified:
Newport, Or., Sept. 14.
What narrowly missed being a
fatal termination to a salmon
trolling party and the loss of
five lives occurred last night,

Asalnst C. & E.
B. F. Tones has embodied his
charges against the Corvallis &
Eistern Rati way company in a
formal complaint presented to the
railway commission the last of
the week. He says 10,000 pas
sengers passed over the line to
Newport from Corvallis between
June 1 and September 1 and as a
result of thes overcrowded coadt-
tipn ..the livei : of the-, passengers
were endangered."
Hundreds ot ties in the road
are so rotten that they will not
hold the spikes. The complaint
further says that the company
sells tickets On a boat in Yaquina
bay which has only a capacity of
100 and often 350 people are on
the boat and house-scow on top;
that through tickets are sold
discriminating against safe boats,
and names July 24 and August
19 as davs when tne train was
crowded.
As a separate complaint Jones
charges discrimination in freight
rates. He says the . company
charges $6o to $63 per carload
on freight from Toleda and E!k
City to Albany, and only half
that amount from Mills, on the
end ot the road east of Albany.

line launch, the Eddy.
All went well with the fishers,
who had proceeded to the mouth
of the harbo.-, when the engine
sud""..ly ceased to work. A
re .g tide was running, and the
party was rapidly being carried
out to sea. Iits iguals of dis-
ts ess were observed by Coast-
guardsman Cover, of theNewport
Lifesaving Station, who notified
Captain Wellender, in Newport.
Wellender got his boat ready and
started in pursuit of the rapidly
drifting launch. After a long
chase the derelict was over
hauled. A line was passed on
board, and the Eddy was safely
towed into the harbor.

The Fair is a thing of the past.
The hops are being picked and
the prunes are being gathered
Avast multitude has migrated
to the hop-yards and prune orch
ards. It is probably best not to
name those who have gone. It
would be a much more simple
plan to chronicle the names of
the few us who remain.
In the local yards these crops
are being harvested as rapidly as
possible. Mrs. Anna Fehler,
Cora, Jesie and Harry Febler
are gathering the prunes in
the Crabtree and Black, formerly
Wnaley, orchards, i he crop is
not heavy. It is estimated that
something over one thousaud
bushels will be gathered from
these orchards if the weather will
permit.
Mr. J. W. Roth and daughter
OU returned from Amitv to their
home south ot Philomath to take
charge of the hop yard during
the picking ot the crop. They
were accompanied by Minnie
Woodman, Hallie Olderman,
Earnest Green, and Arthur Glan
don from Amity.
Hop picking commenced in
the Hartless yard a week ago last
Thursday and himshed the fol

pickers are employed - in the
Roth yard. There are some eighty
pickers and employment for a
few more.
