A Close Call. Last Saturday evening,
says the Portland Standard, an accident
occurred on board the tamer McMinn
srille while at her wharf in this city .which
nearly resulted in the death of David Cau- '
field, mate of the vessel. One of the buck
ets to the wheel required some temporary
repair and he went inside the wheel house
to investigate its condition. While there
lie found it impossible to accomplish the
necessary work in consequence of the ikv
sition of the wheel, and being unable to
turn it by hand, one ot the men requested
the engineer to give it a half revolution
He started the machinery, and before Mr"
Caufield could effect his escape the lare
wheel revolved and carried him nnand
arouna ana aown into the water. He was
rendered unconscious by the movement
aad quick plunge and undoubtedly would
bare perished but for the self possession
of Captain tanlxrn who quickly descend
ed and after some difficulty succeeded in
catching tlie drowning man and bringing
him to the surface. The escape was aliar
row and fortunate one, and has taught
Dave to be more eareful in the future. "
Honey. Hon. A. J. Dufur is quoted
as authority for the statement that there is
a strip of country about three miles wide,
stretching sontlv-east from the Willamette
river near Oregon City, to the Cascade
mountains, which is a natural honey pro
ducing district. He says in the foot hills
of the mountains the Honev dew, which
is peculiar to this district, within the
boundaries it covers, falls so heavily as to
encrust the foliage, and he displayed at
the Centennial a branch that was covered
with this deposit, as if it had been dipped
in heated svrtipand then cooled. Through
out this belt or country, bees are better off
than bees in clover," for thev literally
scrape up the ready-made honey and after
filling their hives, build and fill combs on
the outside. Mr. Dufur has seen eighty
pounds of honey taken from the under
side of a pole stretched across a fence and
asserts that this especial locality seems to
develop the so-called honey "dew year

Chas. W, Pope.
Ws are sorry to have to chronicle the
sad news concerning the death by
drowning of our respected friend and
townsman. C. W. Pope. On Tuesday,
March 27, Mr. Pope, L. T. Barin and Geo.
Harding; accompanied by Richard Haw
kins as teamster, who was taking their
boat and camping outlit, went out to a
point a short distance below the upper
Clackamas bridge. They arrived in safety,
had the boat put into the river, and camp
ed there that night. Mr. Hawkins return
ed the same day with the team, and Mr.
Harding was sent for from Oregon City
during the night, as' his presence was re
quired at home, thus leaving Messrs.Pope
and Barin alone to make the trip down
the river in the boat. Tho intention of the
party was to deeend the river and stop at
eddies to fish for the magnificent moun
tain trout tlKit this river is so well noted
for to those who have ever cast a bait in
its waters. Besides this the DanKs or tne
Clackamas affords some of the grandest
primeval scenery to be found even in this
State, noted as it is tor its unequalled
views of nature, uncontaminated by the
destroying hand of man. Who then can
blame them for wishing to throw off the
cares of business for a few days, to enjoy
such sport as they were sure to get, and
to be invigorated by the bracing air of the
mountains, assisted by the exercise and
excitement of the trip down the river.
Coming' down the river they had fine
success in their sport, successfully shot
the many rapids until about 3 o'clock,
when they came to a part of the river
where it divides, forming an island. One
must remember that the river at this time
of the year is a raging torrent, and re
quires a steady nerve, strong arm and
quick eye to sately guide a boat down its
waters." Whilst they were deciding which
fork of the river to take, the current decid
ed the question for them ; then they saw
a snag right in their course ahead of them
and before they could get the boat eii her
on the one side or the other of it, it was
thrown against the snag, smashed in, and
notwithstanding they tried to keen it up
right by holding on to the snag and bear
ing down on one side of it, the boat was
driven under by the force ot the current.
Messrs. Pope and l?arin, by dint of great
exertion, managed to get oh the snag; out
even here the current was nearly strong
enough to wash them ofl.as their feet were
in the water. Mr. Pope remarked, "This
is too bad." They tried to get a plank otf
the boat to assist them in reaching shore.
but without avail. Mr. Barin pulled oil'
Air. cope s gnrn boots and assisted mm to
partisilly undress. .Mr. Harm then took
otf his own boots and a small coat. Mr.
Barin then remarked that they had better
find some plan by which to getaway from
there, us it was impossible tor any one to
extend them any help even if they could
be seen, where tli'-y then were. V must
not forget that the nearest house was
probably two miles oil' and not even a
road near them. Mr. Pope then said,
"Louis, see if you can touch bottom, or
find out how deep it is. m r. caiin ac
cordingly lowered himself i:i the water,
when the current wrenched him around
so that he found that if he attempted to
regain his place on the snag it w uld take
all his strength and that even then he
might not succeed, so he sfid, "Charley,
I guess I had letter go now," and with the
same he allowed tin-current to carry him
down the river. He found it was useless
to try to gain either shore, having' lirst
tried "to reach one, and then the other. He
had about given up all hopes of saving
himself, when lie suddenly found that he
was within ten or twelve feet of the shore.
This gave him strength enough to make
one great effort to gain the bank, which
ho did. To grasp a root was the work ot
an instant, but alasl it broke off and the
force of the current carried liim under
water. When he rose again, he grascd
at some other roots, which held him long
enough to allow him to breathe freely and
get a tresh hold by which he was enabled
to pull himself out of the water to the
top of the bank. Here lie lay down
exhausted. He does not know how long,
but it was probably some little time, be
cause when he arose he was able to go up
the river to where Mr. Pope was still on
the snag. Mr. Harm called out to him to
see if ho could reach the rope (about lid
feet long) which was in tl.e boat. He
made some motions as if answering and
at the same time rubbing his wrists as if
preparing to go into the water. He jumjv
ed in ami was borne away by the current.
He, as did Mr. I'.arin. seemed to try to
make first oik- shore and then the other,
all without effect, as h was still borne mi
by th( stream. Soon he was seen to sink,
then appear again, swimming with the
current; this happened twice more. After
the last tinia Mr. Barin was able to see
the body by its white clol hing being borne
along under tho water for some distance,
but was of course unatle to render any
assistance. After waiting some time to
see if there was any hope of its re-appearing,
he sadly wended his way to a house
alxiut two miles distant. Here he arrived
with bruised ami bleeding feet, having
had to travel barefooted through the path
less forest, and gave the alarm. A mes
senger was at once sent to Oregon City to
carry the sad news.- Ivuly next morning
means were taken by his brothers and
main friends to find the body. Indian
.Jaeob was seen in the matter, but said
that if the body was in the Clackamas it
was in a certain" eddy two or three miles
below the scene of the accident, but that
the water was too high then to find the
body. Many were out with boats on
Thursday and Friday, as the river was
falling very fast, but their efforts were
unrewarded. On Saturday evening about
G o'clock, Indian Jacob brought the ttody
of our friend with his canoe to Chase's
ferry. There it was taken in charue bv
Messrs. Pratt and Barclay, who brotiglit
the body down in their boat to the paper
mill. These two gentlemen deserve great
credit for the act, as it requires no little
nerve to come down that river in the day
time, certainly ten times worse when it is
almost dark.' Many would think it very
indiscreet, as the fate that had befallen
their friend was very likely to happen to
them on that trip. Late that night the
body was brought into town where it was
received by his brethren in Odd Fellow
ship. An inquest was held before J. W. Shat
tuck, J. P., and a jury, who returned a
verdict in accordance with the above.
The body was in an excellent state of
preservation, and the expression of the
face vas rather that of one who had quietly
fallen asleep than of one who had met a
violent death.
On Monday, April 2d, the stores and
places of business were ll closed as a
token of the great resjiect in which the de
ceased was lield. The corpse was taken
from the house of Lis brother, Mr. W. H.
Pope, by the members of the I. O. O. F.
to the Baptist Church, where the funeral
sermon was preached hv the Rev. Mr.
Day of the M. E. Church, of which the
deceased was a member. The singing by
the choir, under the guidance of the Rev.
.mt. neu wood, gave gr.-at effect and
solemnity to the occasion. The members
of Oregon Lodge No. 3, I. O. O. F., accom
panied by the Fire Department, of which
Mr. Pope had been a worth v and efficient
member, then took charge of the bodv

mem, in mis particular.
As the Klamaths always had been a ter
ror to the settlers of the Willamette valley,
whenever they came among us thev were
watched with suspicion, and every'move
ment of theirs was noted, as they were re
garded Hi our enemies, and their presence
here boded no good to the whites. But
they did come back, and, if I remember
aright, it was in November, 1S53. They
were supposed to have crossed the Barlow
road, as the settlers on the upper Clacka
mas lirst saw them.and veremuch alarm
ed, but the Indians said they were coming
to trade with the Clackamases. and did
camp near the Clack mas village, near
where the railroad bridge crosses the
stream; there were about (X) Klamaths,
and 100 Clackamases at the village. They
spent several weeks together in gambling,
ami iinally got into a row about some old
difficulty that had happened man v 3ears
before, wherein one of the Klamaths had
been killed by a Clackamas, so the Klam
aths pulled up camp and moved over to
Abemethy creek, how in the northern
limits -of Oregon City, then covered J with
logs and some standing timber. At that
time I had located on the S.uitiam, but
was down at my fathers, and starting very
early in the morning for home I approach
ed the village on the Clackamas about
sunrise, and found it nearly deserted In
the meantime I had heard a great many
guns fired in quick succeesion in the direc
tion of Abemethy creek, but the few
squaws and children there, pale with ex
citement, refused to give any information
as to what the trouble was;but I was not
long in conjecturing what was the matter.
As I passed on nearer the scene of action,
I saw the Indians were fighting near the
bridge on the Abemethy creek. They were
concealed behind logs and trees, and
would lire at each other as they had oj
portunity, the creek lying between the
contending parlies. When I approached
within two or three hundred yards of
them, some of them came to me'and told
me to stop as they did not wish to hurt
tiie whites, and I would be very likely to
get hit if I attempted to cross the bridge,
so I was detained until about i) o'clock,
and witnessed a good part of the battle.
The people of the town hearing ti e firing,
many of them waked up and came to the
scene, until so many came they compelled
the Indians to desist. While there I saw
them carry off several dead, and one of
them told me the Klamaths lost five, and
the Clackamases four, killed, and several
wounded. The Klamaths packed up in
great haste, and left for home, by what
route I do not know. Mr. F.dito' if you
think this scrap of the early history of
Oregon worth a place in your paper, you
are welcome to use it.

FEPOIIT OF THE SECUETAUY.
Mr. President and Ladies of the Guild :
Your Secretary begs leave to report t hat
during the year the following reeciotsand
expenditures have been made in this
Guild: Iteceipts, S;M7fr; expenditures,
11J 75; balance on hand, SiiS 10. In as
suming the incidental expenses of the
Church, the Guild relieved the Vestry of
no little responsibility and care; in appre
ciation of which thev have subscribed to a
letter of thanks which has already been
read before the society. During tlie year
our little band of workers has been dimin
ished by removal and withdrawal, and it
requir-s a large share of faith to discern a
brigi t future for the few that are left. In
order that the good work begun and car
ried on amid many difficulties may not
languish or fail, we call upon our fellow
communicants who have identical interests
with ourselves, to come forward and fill
the vacancies in our ranks. Let none
shirk their duty on the plea of inefficiency
or inability. The resolve made to become
a self-supporting parish entails increased
responsibility upon each one of us; and
increased responsibility implies increased
effort. Let us then put our shoulder lirm
ly to the wheel, and, trusting in that same
Power which lias so long guided and
blessed our work, we shall in due time
reap tlie reward promised to those who
never weary of well doing.

nearly two years, has acted as night clerk
for the Uniatilla House, moved down to
his farm in the Hood River settlement.
He intends to make the raising of fruits of
all kinds a specialty, and as the Hood
Uiver fruit now enjoys a reputation sec
ond to none on the coast, he will find a

one of our best citizens, and our wish is
that he may be eminently successful in
his poniological and other pursuits."

There is no exaggeration in the statement
that thousands of persons residing from one
year's end to another In fever and at;ue re
gions on this Continentrinc! elsowhere.breathe
air more or less impregnated with miasma,
without incurring the disease, simply and
only because they are in the habit of usiug
Hostetter's Stomach Hitters as a preventive.
It has frequently happened, and the faet has
oeen amply attested by the parses them
selves, that persons surro'ir; jed on all sides
by neighbors sufferinf tre crtures of this
shivering and burning p.amie have enjoyed
absolute immunity from ir thanks to the
protection afforded by the "Pilfers. Nor is
that standard ranti-f"brilo cordial less effica
cious in remedying than in preventing chills
and fever, bilious remittents, and disorders of
a kindred tyjw. Taken between the parox
ysms, it speedily mit'gates their violence, and
eventually prevents tiieir recurrence. These
facts, convincingly established by evidence,
appeal with peculiar force to travelers and
sojourners in malarious districts.
Housewives, Attention.
For 75 cents I will send you a receipt for
making a superior art icle of honey, at a cost
of 8 cents per pound, unexcelled for table use.
Also for ".- cents a receipt for making a better
quality of soap, at a cost of one and a half
cents per pound for soft, and three cents per
pound for hard. Either the soap or honey
can be made within fifteen minutes by a child.
The saving made by a household In oneyear's

From Samuel A. Walker, Esq., the well known
Real Estate Auctioneer of Boston.
"Having experienced results of a satisfac
tory character from the use of Wistar's Bal
sam of Wild Cherry, In cases of severe
colds, during the past two years, I have full
faith in its renovating power. I was first in
duced to try this medicine by the strong rec
ommendation of a friend, who was well nigh
gone with consumption, and whose relief
from the usf of it satisfied me of its great
value in cases of colds and decline, and most
clearly demonstrated to my mind its great
value as a restorative, that only needs a fair
trial to insure a grateful recognition from the
public." So!d by ail druggists.
Important to all Invalid. Iron in the
Itloori.
The Peruvian Syrup, a protected solution
of the protoxide of iron, strikes at the root of
disease by supplying the blood with its vital
principle, or life element Iron. This is the
secret of the wonderful success of this remedy
in curing Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint, Dropsy,
Chronic Diarrhoea, Boils, Nervous Affections,
ChilN and Fevers, Humors, boss of Constitu
tional Vigor, Diseases of the Kidneys and
Bladder, Female Complaints, and all diseases
originating In a baxl state of the blood, or ac
companied by debility or a low state of the
system. Sold by all druggists.
Remember This.
Now Is the time of year for Pneumonia
bung Fever. Coughs, Colds, and fatal results
of predisposition to Consumy.tion and other
Throat and iAing Disease. Koschek's Ger
man Syrcp has been ued in this neighbor
hood for the past two or three years without
a single failure to cure. If you have not
used this mediefne yourself, goto your Dmg
glst. Ward & Harding and ask him of its
wonderful success among his customers.
Threedoses will relieve the worst case. If you
have'no faith in any medieine.just buy a Sam
ple Bottle of Roschee's German Syrup for
10 cents and try it. Regular size bottle 75
cents. Don't neglect a cough to save 75 cents.
Decay of the Teeth
Arises from various causes, but principally it
may be attributed to early neglect or the In
discriminate use of tooth powders and pastes,
which give a momentary whiteness to the
teeth while they corrode the enamel. The
timely use of that delicate aromatic tooth
wash. Fragrant SOZODOXT, will speedily ar
rest the progress of decay, harden the gums.
and Impart a delightful fragrance to the
breath. It removes those ravages which peo-
sustain in their teeth
