LIKE H I Sparrows and Other Birds Killed in Storm. BUT NOT IN OREGON One of the Unpleasant Experi ences of an Oregon Man in Indiana. S. K. Busick of Dorena, was a Cottage Grove visitor Saturday. He returned home recently from Iudiaua where he spent some time visiting with relatives and friends during the past summer. While he enjoyed his visit the severe electrical summer storms of that state was not altogether to his lik ing aud was a constant reminder to him that old Oregon with her cool, pleasant summers and mild winters was the l)est state in the union after all. EXPERIENCES A TYPHOON. One of his experiences in a severe Indiana thunder storm is re lated as follows: “ During a certain part of the storm which struck Boonville about 8 o ’clock, August 19th, there was a shower of birds from above like a hailstorm. No one noticed any hail, but people told of the birds thumping their roofs as if it were a hail storm. Some of the birds fell to the ground dead, others were only stunned. Once, however, they hit the ground they drowned, for the streets were deep in water. People were unable to under stand why the birds fell. While red birds, black birds, blue jays, cat birds, robins, martens, meadow larks and other birds of this local ity were among the number, the sparrows predominated. The ex planation is offered that the air must either have suddenly become electrified or the rain fell in such torrents and the wind blew so strong that the birds were knocked from their perches and once off they could not fly against the fierce wind and rain. A colony of college l>oys, in cluding representatives from Cor nell, Pennsylvania aud Vander bilt, who were there canvassing gathered several sacks of the birds which still showed signs of life and startled the plain, country folk of this burg by sitting down to a mess of pot pie. The boys pronounced it a fine dish, accord ing to their landlady. The storm was a miniature cy clone and all that it lacked to make it a. real one and take the top off of Itoouville was the loca tion of Boonville on a river. Boon ville, by its peculiar location, es caped pretty luckily. Pour big farm barns and a house burned to the ground, six horses were killed, besides some cattle, causing a loss of $20,000, which represents the total result.” LOCAL PAPER’S ACCOUNT OE IT. The Boonville local paper had the following to say about this peculiar storm: “ Boonville, hid., Aug. 19.— There seems to lie a mystery here as to the cause of the death of so many English sparrows during the fierce electrical storm of last night. The little birds lay in heaps this morning everywhere and were es pecially under the big, widespread- ing trees, where the workmen were compelled to gather them with shovels. The city street commis sioner set his men to work early in the day gathering them and to night declared there was a full wagon load.” Mr. Busick gave us an order for three yearly subscriptions to the Leader which will be sent to his Indiana friends that they may learn more about the superior ad vantages and opportunities afford ed in good old ( Iregon. COAST FORK PARTY AT COUGAR BEND Coast Fork, Ore., Sept. 18 1908. Mr. Editors— :l’ pon their return from Cougar Bend the following person report a very pleasant and enjoyable outing. Misses Inez White, Della White and Della Boyd; Messrs Alfred While, Seldon Powell, Clarence Boyd, and George Boyd. 11 carried a person back to the old pioneer days of fourty-nine to hear them relate their thrilling and hair raising stories of their mirac ulous escape from the beasts of prey from which Cougar Bend has be come famous. O f course they were supplied with the latest models of firearms and plenty of ammunition, but there is no doubt but what the fairest of the party would have met with a similar fate as little Red Riding Hood’s grand-mother if they had not been protected with the world famous twenty-two "Stevens. They report plenty of fish, but only caught the large string of twelve. Deer were also reported plentiful, in fact so plentiful the boys brought three deer (dear’s) home with them. A very pleasant trip, was reported, regardless of exciting adventures. O t h o Z il l v a n .

Co’s sawmills at Marcóla have received orders to clean off all the docks of luml>er, which signifies that the company intends to start up the mills again in the near future, ordering the docks cleared to make room for new lumber. Large shipments of railroad ties, which have l>een on hand since the mills close last winter are being made every day. The only mill in the vicinity of Marcóla that is running now is that of the Sunset Lumber com pany, which is operating with a full crew, but the prospects are that a number of others will re sume soon. Kansas Men Buy a Saw Mill. Atchison, Kansas, who will take immediate possession. Included in the sale are .tool) ac res of land, all the lumber on hand and the logging machinery. There are approximately 200,(KM), (KIT) feet of growing timlier on the land that has changed ownership. The consideration is not given out for publication, but it is said to be in the neighborhood of $175,000, says the Guard. This mill was built about two aud a half years ago by Messrs. Magladry aud Kelly and has a capacity of 35,000 feet of lumber per day. It is a modern plant in every respect, one of the best in the county. The new owners of the mill are thorough business men and will doubtless succeed in their new ven ture. The former owners are among the 1>est known lumber J. S. Magladry and Johu P. Kelly have sold the sawmill of the Mohawk Lumber Co. at Donna on the XVendling branch of the S. P. Co. to David and I I . C.

The season for hunting female deer opened September 1. aud will continue until October .5(1, while the o|>en season for bucks will close October 15. In this county hunters having a license are per mitted to kill five deer during the open season. The open season for elk lasts for only one mouth, between Septem ber 15 and October 15, and a hunter is permitted to kill only one. China and native pheasants, quail, and grouse may be shot in this county between October 1 and November 30, the bag limit being 10 in one day. The open season for duck, geese and swan extends from September 1 to Jan uary 30. Only 50 ducks may be killed in one week, but there is no limit to geese aud swan. It is unlawful to offer for sale or to ship outside the state, any deer, moose, mountain sheep, elk, silver gray squirrel, swan, prairie chick en, grouse, ducks and upland birds, or to hunt without license, to hunt by night, run deer with dogs, or kill beaver or spotted fawn. The fines ini]X)sed for any of these offenses range from $10 to $500. A hunter’s license is good anywhere in Oregon, but he must carry his license with him while hunting. VO L. XX.

A man’s success depended upon his honfsty, integrity and industry. But those were not the «lays of giant and heartless monopolies. Tho rail road rebate by which trusts killed off competition was not heurd of then. The purchase of legislators was in its infancy, if it existed at all. In fact, there was a chance then for a young man to strike out and make a living for himself.

BRUND’S HUNTING RETURN TO THE GROVE FAME REACHES EUGENE Rev. A. J. Armstrong and family, arrived in this city Saturday from Lakeview, where Mr. Armstrong has been pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church for several years. The family returned to Cottage Grove by their own private con veyance, coming leisurely over the road, making the trip very pleasant and enjoyable. Owning to Mrs. Armstrong’s poor health Rev. Armstrong found it necessary to resign his pastorate in Lakeview and return to this place to reside, which is Mrs. Armstrong's old home, she being a daughter of our pioneer townsman, O. P. Adams. Many friends will welcome the family back to Cottage Grove. A traveling man who was at Cottage Grove Friday, told a Guard reporter that Mr. Brand, of the firm of Metcalf & Brand of that city killed a large buck deer a few days ago with a rock in the Bo hemia mines. Mr. Brand was go ing along the road and seeing the buck in the brash near by he got out of the vehicle and picking up a rock in the road, threw it at the deer, having no idea that he would even hurt it. lie was greatly surprised to see it fall to the ground and when he reached it the deer was dead. He struck it in a vital spot in the head.— Eu gene Guard. Ernest Wills, of London has been appointed registration clerk A marriage license was issued to for the November election. He James M.
