1'OR OltllOON. -
J. W. I'lmloii, representing tin
Great Northern Railway, win in
Cottage Grove this week, and in
conversation willi n Nugget man,
Hindu mention of I lie fact that this
section of Oregon , inclining the
Willamette Valley, would prolialdy
receive at least ,io,ox eastern
people who are now on their way,
and arranging to come, this hciisoii.
He estimates that a large per cent
will make permanent location here
providing that they can find what
they are looking for in the matter
of laud nud get it at prices within
their reach and reason, "llut,"
said Mr. I'lmloii, "the property
owners here who have many hun
dreds of acres of laud to sell, will
make a mistake if lliey adopt the
plan which has always been in
vogue hete. that of jumping up the
piice ns soon as they hear that a
lew people in the east ate thinking
ol coming here." He says these
people are wide awake. They have
been studying the country, in some
cases for years, and iu many in
stances, are well posted on the
price of land in the Pacific coast
states, and thnt they will not be
found paying unreasonable prices
for real estate. Heic is a good
chance for the owners of some of
these laruc farms to cut them up
and do something for Oregon.
LllCTUKI'.
A very interesting discourse was
delivered at the.M. E. Church on
last Monday night, by the Rev
Tout of Eugene on the subject of
temperance. Mr. Tout is organizer
for the Anil saloon League and is a
practical and veiy sensible talker
on this question an. 1 his speech has
the ring of a fair and reasonable
man who finds good iu everything.
He says he believes something may
be accomplished by effort and the
enforcement of law. He does not
believe the whole country has gone
to the "ilemiuatioii bow wows"
simply because the majority of the
people license saloons. About
31 names were secured for mem
bership in the League.
Rltl'INISIII'.D
Jenkins and Iuvson have this
week completed the refinishiiig of
the Cumberland Presbyterian
church ol this city. The design
Used was seUcted by Mr. J-.'iikius
iitid the work is attracting much
attention. The celling is piaueled
and artistically decorated, while
the walls now present a splendid
appearance iu a beautifully figured
paper. Sliding doors were put in
between the auditorium and the
class room, and the woodwork re
finished in cherry. It is said to be
the nicest finished building iu the
city on the inside. All it needs
now is finishing on the outside.
Pinu.ic School.
On Friday evening March 14, at
Martin's Hall, Dr. Robert C. French
of tho Normal training school at
Monmouth, will deliver his illus
trated lecture on Europe. Mr.
French has traveled iu Europe for
sixteen months studying and the
views were prepared under his di
rection. This is pronounced one
of the best stcreoplican lectures
ever delivered iu the state. The
school is in need of dictionaries.
' Come and enjoy an evening in
Europe and help your school.
Pukciiasicd Cigar Businhss.
Last Saturday O. O. McClellen
purchased the fixtures and cigar
business of A. 11. Atkins. Mr. At
kin's son, Byron, who has been in
chnrge of the business on the night
run, has sectired a position at his
trade in his old home, and will
leave soon. Mr. Atkins did not
feel like running the business alone,
hence the sale. Mr. McClellen
has had considerable experience in
the line and his friends wish him
success.
In thk Blacksmith Businhss.
John V. Miller is again found
presiding over the anvil iu his old
shop on River street. One of his
first pieces of work turned out is a
neat horse shoe made of steel and
polished which will adorn the bar
of the Exchange saloon.

CY BINGHAM'S NARROW KSCAI'B
He Weill (Ji Against The "Real Tiling"
For Three Days llcwllilcrcil
ami Alone.
Cy J. Bingham, who has been a
familiar figure in Bohemia for the
past three years, and who 1ms a
host oi friends in the district ami in
Cottage Grove, had an adventure
the latter part of last and the first
part ol this week, that will be im
pressed upon his niemoty to his dy
ina day. In company with A. B.
Woods, the railroad surveyor, and
Bird Farrier, he started out Satur
day iiiotuiug 011 a hunt. Mr.
Farrier became separated from
Messrs. Woods and Bingham early
iu the forenoon and returned to the
Warehouse, fiom whence they
started. About noon Messrs. Woods
and Bingham separated in an effort
to get their bearings, for their return
home. Mr. Woods reached the
Warehouse about four o'clock, but
Mr. Bingham did not get iu. Sun
day seatch was made hut no trace
of Cy could be found. Monday
morning a phone was received here,
announcing the facts, and a phone
was sent to I. II. Bingham, brother
of Cy, ol Portland, who arrived
here that afternoon and iu company
with H. V. Behne, started Im
mediately for the scene. Monday
the mountains were full of miners
and woodsmen iu scutch of the miss-

iiiglit, tliey reported haunt: lound
his tracks in the Lang Lrcck can
yon, but were unable to follow
them. Tuesday searching parties
were sent out iu all directions; and
one went up Lang Creek, while
another started at the head to come
down. Shortly after noon a phone
was received at the central office
this city, that Mr. Behne had just
arrived bearing the news that Mr.
Bingham had been found and was
alright.
wu.Yi u,rrr.riw.
Wcilnesdny Mr. Bingham called
up a Nugget man on the plume
just lo .say "Hello." It seemed
good to hear the familiar voice
again, and to know that the clever
voting mountaineer was iu the laud
of ihe living after so thirilliug an ad
venture. Mr. Bingham says he lost
his bearings immediately after
leaving Mr. Woods, and wandered,
no one knows where, but iu all
probability civer the big ridge into
the Johnson Meadows country
Here he realised that he was en
tirely off and put back and it took
him all day Sunday to get back tu
his starting point. Then he struck
down into the can von to the water
eoursi" of Lang Creek. He took
this course and although tired and
weak, he plodded along down stream
witli the only hope that he would
hold out until he came to the
settlement. He was within about
five miles of a rancher's cabin when
he was met by the searching party.
Mr. Bingham says he was com
pletely turned around nud had no
idea where he was when he was
met by his rescuers. He had been
three days without food, but had
taken extremely good care of him
self having built fires and dried his
clothes twice a day and always
making a camp at night. This
method coupled with his good
judgment in staying with the water
course and his splendid physi
cal strength is what saved
him. While building a camp fire
he cut his hand badly, but aside
from that nud a kind of "tired"
feeling, Cy's O. K. and his friends
are happy.
Runaway.
Mr. Hrnest of Latham had the
misfortune to have his team run
away Monday noon. They were
left standing in front of Gale's
harness shop, and becoming tired of
waiting, started for home. In
their dream of home and oats nud
baled hay, etc., they increased
their speed, nud at Stone's mill
they lightened their load by leaving
the wagon bed and hind wheels.
When last seen they were still
hitting the high places near Latham.
