James Hayes, who wasdrowned in
the LaCreole river yesterday, was a
cousin of Eobert Hayes, who was
drowned ab)ve the Hallock mill
under similar circumstances five
vears aero, rne young man was
drowned on November 2, 1900, and his
body was found a short distance below
town on the 9th of December following.
Many predictions of a hard winter
are heard, old-settlers declaring that
the "signs" all point that way. So
far the weather has been unusually
mild and pleasant, and, as we are
already nearing the holidays, we can
comfort ourselves with the thought
that the disagreeable weather cannot
last long, if it comes at all.
DEATH IN THE RIVER
James Hayes Is Drowned While
Helping: to Break Log
Jam.
James Hayes was drowned in the
LaCreole river, one mile above Dallas,
yesterday morning at 10 o'clock. He
was superintending the breaking of a
log jam, and was assisting the work
men when the fatal accident occurred.
The body was found at 1 o'clock in
the afternoon in the deep water above
the log boom In the west end of town.
The drowning occurred on the
Robert Howe farm, where a large jam
of logs belonging to the W. W. John
son. Lumber Company had formed
in the river. Numerous efforts to
break this jam had been made,
with the aid of the flood dams,
but the attempts had all proved
futile. Yesterday morning an un
usually heavy flood or water was
turned on the jam, and it was while
he was working to clear the stream of
the huge mass of log3 that had
accumulated that Mr. Hayes met his
death. Assisted by his nephew, Arch
Hayes, and Cleveland Sears, he was
making good progress In the work,
when suddenly he lost his footing and
feil into the water among the moving
logs. His companions were busily
engaged in their task and were not
aware that any accident had befallen
Mr. Hayes until they saw him strug
gling in the water.
A. C. Dimick, a renter living on the
Howe farm, was watching the prog
ress of the work and was an eye wlt
nessof the drowning. He says the un
fortunate man fell between two mov
ing jams of logs and when first seen
was in open water holding to a log
and apparently in no immediate
danger. Floating down stream a con
siderable distance, he seemed to be in
a fair way of reaching the bank,
when suddenly he released his hold
and sank from view. The body did
not Come to the surface again, and
all efforts to locate it proved unavail
ing. The news of the drowning was
brought to town by a messenger, and
a large number of men and boys im
mediately left for the scene of the
accident. A patrol of the river bank
was established, but the water was
running so high and muddy that it
was useless to attempt to find the body.
As soon as the flood had subsided, the
search was resumed and this time
proved successful, the body being
found lodged against the log boom
near the mill, by Walter Baker,
shortly before one o'clock.
The corpse was removed to Chap
man's undertaking parlors, where it
was prepared for burial. A thorough
examination disclosed no signs of
violent injury, save a bruise on the
forehead, which might havo been
caused by coming in contact with a
rock or log. No outward signs of
broken bones were visible, and it was
evident that death had been caused by
drowning. It is believed that Mr.
Hayes was thoroughly chilled by the
icy war and that he was siezed by
cramps and forced to abandon his
hold on the floating log.
Mr. Hayes was an experienced log
ger, having followed that occupation
for many years in Wisconsin and
Minnesota. He came to Oregon about
eight years ago, and had worked at
log driving on the LaCreole river at
intervals since that time. He also
followed the business of a timber
cruiser, and for a time was associated
with J. G. VanOrsdel in handling real
estate and timber tracts. Only a few
days prior to hi3 death, he had ac
cepted steady employment with the
Johnson Lumber Company.
James A. Hayes was a son of
Hugh Hayes, of this city, and
was about 45 years old. He leaves a
wife and five children, the eldest be
ing 14 years of age. He was an
honest, industrious man, and enjoyed
the respect and confidence of all. His
death is sincerely mourned, and hla
wife and little children have te deep
est sympathy of the community in
their sad bereavement.

FINE PROGRAM PREPARED
Prominent Educators of Oregon Will
Take Part in Polk County School
Officers Institute.
The school officers' and teachers'
institute to be held in Dallas on Fri
day and Saturday of next week gives
promise of being the most enthusias
tlo meetings of the kind ever held in
Polk county, or in any other county
in the state.
Heretofore.these institutes have been
held on different dates, but, by com
bining the two, Superintendent Starr
has created a great deal of enthusias
tic co-operation, and most of the school
boards have evinced a willingness to
give their teachers the day, that they
may be in attendance both days of the
meeting.
There is scarcely a board of direc
tors in the county that is not entering
into the spirit that makes such meet
ings profitable, and, in cases where
all members of the board cannot be
present, delegates will be sent to
represent their several districts.
The publlo schools of today are
demanding and receiving the ntelli-
gent support of the best men iu every
district, and when given such an
opportunity to exchange ideas and
learn the most successful methods or
conducting their schools, the directors
will not be slow in taking advantage
of it. No county in Oregon has a
better organized public school systeoi
than that of Polk county, and it Is the
united effort of those concerned that
Is responsible for this thorough organ
ization. Prominent educators of the state
who will have a place on the program
are: J. H. Ackerman, Superintendent
of Public Instruction ; E. D. Iteesler,
President of the Oregon State Normal
School : Hon. B. F. Mulkey, President
of the Southern Oregon Normal
School ; Mrs. K. E. Sloan, of the Ladd
school, Portland, and Miss Cornelia
Marvin, secretary of the Oregon
Library Commission.
