A CHAPTER OP DEATH.
The steamer San Bias, which
left Cape Nome June 21, and ar
rived at Seattle Saturday, not only
brought down $1,000,000 in gold
hut also the news of the tragic
death of four adventurers upon
whom fortune did not smile. This
is but a forerunner of that which is
sure to follow, as a result of men
rushing headlong into a strange
country in quest of gold.
Thousands upon thousands of
men of every nationality of every
temperment of every disposition
meet upon this common stamping
ground, facing a game of chance,
trusting to "luck" that they may
be the winner. They do not stop to
consider that the came is less
favorable to their winning than a
game of poker.
Men must fail in the search of
gold, as well as in the search of
other successes, and when they are
bunched together, as they are in
faraway Nome, there is sure to be
a vast army of unfortunates who
shall fail to find things as their im
agination, after a feast upon glow
iug pen pictures, had lead them to
believe were in waiting for them.
The Hortous of Eugene, young,
inexperienced, ambitious, desirous
of wealth, wandered into the Alas
kan gold-fields and, for a time,
Fortune waved her magic wand and
smiled upon them; and then, in the
shaddowy face of the native Indian,
death in all its tragic horror came,
and that for which they had en
dured hardships and undergone de
privations vas of no avail. One
sad chapter of the many now on
and the many sure to follow.
Now we read of Murray of San
Francisco, and how he, bowed by
the grief for his son, laid, down the
burden and passed over the
"poison" route.
L. M. Woodward of Philadelphia
found not the fortune for which he
sought, and, being without funds,
sent a bullet into his own brain.
Wra. Kerr and Thos. Kinman,
returning across Nome Bay from
an unsuccessful prospecting tour,
found death in a watery grave.
Thus we read of those who left
home and- friends, pocketing the
little wealth they had accumulated
iu a lifetime of toil, to risk all in a
strangelaud, mingling with all the
rough elements which go to make
up the world of strife and gain,
only to find the golden bowl
broken and Death that mysteri
ous agent soothes the "fever
called Living."
0Vr IT WAS
Cotfiifc Grove Mcbratioi
Badly Marred by
KainBiff Crowd.
A most appalling accident oc
cured at Tacoma, Wash., on July
4th. An excursion car on a trolly
line, in some unaccountable manner
was tnrown from a bridge and
struck bottom up 60 feet below and
than rolled to the bottom of the
gulch 120 feet. Fifty-three men,
women and children were aboard
and 35 were killed outright and the
18 remaining were injured, at least
half of them fatally. No one seems
to know how the accident occurred
There was a sharp curve in the
track at the- bottom of a grade
where the accident occurred, and
as the car struck the curve it left
the track and pitched downward,
resulting in the most heartrending
accident iu the history oi the city
of Tacoma.
Eugene is now assured of a first
class band. That city has always
had some very excellent band
musicians, and now with the
stimulus a regimental band al
ways gives local talent, the little
city will have a band by next year
that will at least divide houors with
any like organization iu the state.
Tlio dance at Murtln's hall on tho
night of tho Fourth wns pronounced a
success.
It is said that at least 500 people
remained away from Cottage Grove
on the Fourth on account of the
rain which threatened on the after
noon of the third and came the
morning oi tlie rourtii. ine
largest crowd that ever gathered
here to observe the day was an
ticipated but it fell short of last
years' crowd a trifle, as the weather
was so threatening in the morning
that the people from the country
did not come. Something like
00 people arrived on the night
train from points south and the ap
pearance of these people on the
streets so early in the morning was
a good indication that the crowd
would be large; but by 7 o'clock a
fine rain commenced and con
tiuued nearly all the forenoon, with
few intermissions. The floats
which had been artistically ar
ranged were standing iu the streets
and they suffered materially. The
rain soaking the bunting and
imings. However at the ap-
pointed time the procession moved
headed by two bands, Drain and
Cottage Grove, and a very pretty
appearance was made. Miss Daisy
Thomas as Goddess was very
charmingly dressed and arranged
the great float surrounded by
the many pretty little girls who
honored her.
The W. C. T. U. float was a
particularly pretty thing. It was
of pure white and most artistically
arranged.
A large crowd gathered at the
grove after the parade to listen to
the program, which was practically
dispensed with on account of the
rain.
In the absence of President of
the Day Veatch who is east, and
Vice President of the Day R. A.
Booth, who was unavoidably de
tained, Mayor Bennett presided.
Rev. Gardner offered prayer, and
then after music by the choir the
Declaration of Independence was
read by Miss Pearl Hunter in her
charming manner.
Tlie oration of the day was de
livered by Attorney F. G. Eby, of
this city. He made an eloquent
address which was listened to with
rapt attention. The principle
features of the address were the
important lessons taught by study
of our history as a nation; that
right will always prevail; that the
popular will of the people can be
trusted; the charitable character of
the Araerican people. He said the
most important lesson to be learned
was that of patriotism, which
should be cultivated and deeply in
stilled in the minds of the youths
of our land; that they might be
come good, true and loyal citizens.
His closing and glowing tribute to
the dead and living volunteer
soldiers brought tears to the eyes
of many. It was a pleasing and
scholarly address, and elicited
many compliments.
THE SPORTS.
Had it not been for the sports
prepared for the afternoon the cele
bration would indeed have been
short of entertainment. It did not
rain much in the afternoon and
active interest centered upon the
field sports. Tho winners were
as follows:
100 yard foot race, D. Knox, 1st;
M. Jackson 2nd.
75 yard foot race, boys, Roy
Hemenway, 1st; M. Jackson 2nd.
Hurdle race, D. Knox 1st; M.
H. Coffman 2d.
One mile bicycle race, M. Jack
son 1st; Albert Griffin 2d.
High jump, D. Knox 1st; Chas.
McFarland 2d.
500 yard bicycle race, M. Jack
son, 1st; Albert Griffin, 2d
Wheelbarrow race, D.TCnox, 1st;
Jim Potts, 2d.
Broad jump, D. Knox, 1st, M.
Jackson, 2d.
As no bicycle parade could be
formed in the evening, it was dc
cided to divide the prize money
for this feature up into three prizes
and they were awarded to the best
decorated wheels iti the parade in
the morning as follows: Miss Dell
Durham 1st, $3.00', Miss Agnes
Wnnlov. 2d. &2.00: Miss Bessie
j T ' w
Markley, 3d, Si. 00.
Tom Jenkins, amidst much com
petition, won the prize for the best
decorated gentleman's wheel.
To fill out, some of the boys ar
ranged an impromptu plvigugly
pioposition in the evening wluc
created considerable merriment
and in which the burlesqttely deco
rated go-cart of Jenkins & Lawson
cut quite a figure.
The fireworks on the street in
the eveninir were very pretty, but
could have been materially im
nroved upon, with no additional
expenditure of money, had they
been systematically managed and
fired from the butte.
Tnkinjr into consideration the
atmospheric conditions, everybody
was pleased, and all seemed to
have a good time.
GOOD DAI.I..
An important feature in the cele
bration sports was the ball game
between the Bohemia team, and
picked nine made up iu most part
from the old team which did such
pretty work here a few years ago
In the first three innings the Bo
hernias made a score of 9 to nothing
but from that time on when the
"old fellers" got down to work the
Bohemias did not have things their
own way although they did very
clever work. However, try as they
did the picked nine recovered the
lead in the eighth inning. Then
the fun commenced. The picked
nine went to bat wi bout a score,
Bohemia went to bat and the first
batter sent a scorcher down within
a mile or two of Shortstop Holder
man, who got one of his old time
moves on him "and went up in the
air for it, and then doubled on 2d
base, putting two men out. The
third man to bat through a fumble
ot I'ltcner Medley inaoe a score.
resting the game in Bohemias fa
vor with a score of 13 to 14.
STOCK AND FARM.
Oregon strawberres are attract
ing attention 111 the Eastern mar
kets and are pronounced unequaled,
Hay hands are scarce in Klamath
county, at $2 and $2.50 per day.
Gilliam county is said to have
one of the best stands of wheat in
tne history of the connty.
An abundant fruit crop is re
ported in Baker county.
A crop of flax is being grown in
the forks of the Santiam, estimated
at 1,000 acres,
The cherry crop of Western Ore
gon is practically a failure.
Thus far the early fruit in South
Lane county is reported nearly, if
not quite, a failure. Here iu Cot
tage Grove the market has been
poorly suppl'ed, and the merchants
have been unable to remedy the
troufre. Not enough early fruit
was raised iu this section to supply
the local market of Cottage Grove,
In Linn county 200,000 acres are
iu cultivation.
It is said that the pasturage of
Oregon has been better this year
than for many seasons. This is
due to the fact that March came
with warm rarus which started tlie
grass growing, and the recent warm
rains which were so damaging to
fruit and hay, made the pastures
fresh and green again.
The Dakota wheat crop is re
ported as almost a failure.
The apple crop throughout the
United States is reported unusually
large this year. Missouri, how
ever, reports only a little over one
third of a crop.
The day was materially spoiled
by the July rain which delayed
coniing until the identical 4U1, but
nevertheless we had a good crowd
of well behaved patriotic people
just the same.
It is said to liuvo rained hard at Eu
gene on the Fourth,
