Mrs. Clarence Denhatn Drowned in Mill Creek Will Buy Wool. I will pay the highest market price for wool. Get my prices before you sell. jne 3 Allen Clark. Mrs. Clarence. Denham was drowned in Mill Creek late last Friday afternoon while attempt ing to save her 13-year-old adopt ed daughter and another child from a perilous position on a log boom near the logging camp. The accident occurred at the mouth of Cedar Creek, ten miles above the Sheridan Lumber Com nanv s sawmill. Mrs. Denham's adopted daughter and another little girl had been picking flow ers near the camp, and, desiring to cross the creek, had walked out on the logs just above the dam. When a short distance from the bank, both children fell into the water, which at that place is about 15 feet deep. S2eing the plight of the child ren, the mother ran to their as sistance. Before she could reach them, her adopted child scram bled to the bank and out of danger. In attempting to rescue the other little girl, Mrs. Den ham ran out onto a floating log. When within a few feet of the child, the log rolled and Mrs. Denham was thrown into the water. Being unable to swim, and chilled by the cold mountain water, the unfortunate woman was unable to save herself, and after a short struggle she sank from view. Meanwhile, the child had suc ceeded in reaching a floating log and had climbed out of the water to a place of safety. Being unabe to render any assistance, Mrs. Denham's adopted daughter ran to where the loggers were work ing and gave the alarm. The men hurried to the spot and re mnvpn the other little girl from 1 her perilous possition. They then sent a telephone message to Sheriff Grant, informing him of Mrs. Denham's death. Early Saturday morning, Act ing Coroner Hardy Holdman drove to the scene of the drown ing. When he arrived there the body had been found and it was soon drawn ashore. After look-; ing over the ground and question ing the men and the two little girls as to the manner in which Mrs. Denham had met her death, the officer decided that no formal inquest was necessary. Placing the body in his conveyance, Cor oner Holman brought it to the Sheridan Lumber Company's mill and turned it over to an under taker from Sheridan. Mr. and Mrs. Denham were cooks at the logging camp and had lived in Polk County only a short time. Mrs. Denham was about 33 years old. The husband was in Portland at the time of the drowning. -Polk County Observer. syndicate with E. J. Daly, says the company will log the tract and that the plans include putting in a mill on the property as soon as the railroad is in operation. Branch logging railroads will be put in at various places, running back into the timber. The Hill line will be completed within 18 months and the lumber from the tract will be handled in the Port land market. The tract is com posed mostly of yellow fir, the stand being about 90 per cent this kind of timber. There is some larch. -Oregonian. Large Timber Deal One of the largest timber deals negotiated this i Summer was closed Saturday by the organiza tion of a syndicate to take over a tract of 2400 acres of timber lands in Tillamook County, on the new Hill railroad. The syndicate is composed of B. Gildner, presi dent; Russ Sewall, secretary and treasurer; R. E. Williams, Ed. J. Daly, M. H. Hansen, Sol. Blu mauer, John W, Sweeny, W. B. Streeterand others. The price naid is $220,000. The purchas ing syndicate is incorporated at $210,000. The timber has been cruised at 200,000,000 feet, the price paid being on the basis of $1 a thousand feet. It was bought from varied small in terests some of the settlers having taken up the lands 25 years ago at practically no cost. Mr. Gildner, who organized the A Tragio Wedding Ring. A tragic story of a forgotten wed rtini? rlim Is told in the "Lives of the Lindsays." He should have been at church when Colin Lindsay, the young Earl ot Balcarrns. was quietly eat Ins his breakfast in nightgown and slippers. Reminded that Mauritla of Nassau was waiting for him at the al tar, be hurried to church, but forgot the ring. A friend present gave him one. which he, without looking at placed on the bride's finger. After the ceremony was over the countess glanc ed at ber band and beheld a grin ning death's bead on her ring, hhe fainted away, and the omen made such an impression on her that on recover ing she declared she was uestinea 10 die within a year, a presentiment that probably brought about its own ful fillment, for in a few montns tne care less Colin was a widower. A BIG GUT Pacific Monthly Magazine AND Monmouth Herald The Old Way of Pawing Billa. A document found among the Duke of Rutland's papers at Belvolr castle throws a curious light upon the mode ot getting private bills through the English house ot commons in the days of King Charles 11. The case in hand was the divorce bill ot .lohn Lord de Itoos. an affair that canned a great deal of gossip in Its day. One of his lordship's agents wrote In January. 1GC7: "On Wednesday last I got six and forty of the house of commons to the Dog tavern, in the palace yard at Westminster, when were present Mr. Attorney General and Mr. George Montagu. As soon as they had dined we carried them all to the house of commons, and they passed the bill, as the committee, without any amend ments, and ordered it to be reported the next day." A. B.
