railroad depot platform were treated to
a sight that luude them bold .their
breath for a few seconds, on the de
parture ol the Oregon express train
this afternoon.
Chris Cra(llebaut;h, a State Univer
sity student, was taking the train tor
his home in Portluud, wli ;n a couple
of his fellow studeuts attempted to
detain him. He struggled to escape
their clutches, and at last succeeded
though by that time the train was
moving quite rapidly, and only one
i passenger coach remained. Cradle-
I baugh clutched the Iron rail of the
rear end of the next coach, hut the
motion of the rnpidly moving train
threw him between the ends of ttie
two coaches, and there he remained
suspended for a few seconds.
A braken an opportunely put iu an
appearance almost at the instant, and
drew Cradlebaugh from his perilous
position onto the platform. Without
help he could uot have saved himself,
and his hold on the slender iron rod
could have been uiuiptained but a
short time. Only at one time will he
be nearer death's door.

year it is J5.358.940, or nearly a million
less. Theaniount on theorlglnal roll for

and for the '99 taxes will approximate
nearly the same amount, according- to

STEAM EK EUGENE
Is Expected to Arrive Tomorrow.
The steumor Eugene Is expected to
arrive tomorrow after an idleness of
two weeks. The river, while at a high
stage, carries very little drift wood and
no diltlculty is anticipated in making
the trip. Some freight will be brought
up, and a small amount is here for
consignment. The boat will have
some good orders down the valley for
its return trip.
Ducic Hunters Alva Pritohott and
and Fred Craig started duck hunting
early Thursday morning. They crossed
the RoBsman slough on the revetment
work at the upper end of RoBsman
island, and finding no ducks there,
waded another slough to the Sanders
Island, Before crossing onto the first
Island they were warned not to do so,
as the river was rising. The boys
thought different and crossed . They
waded to the second Islaud, and on
attempting to return discovered the
water had raised so high that they
eould not return. The boys called for
help and succeeded in raising young
Mr. Rossmati, who could not come to
their aid, as his boat was In a bad
condition, nod It was tjultedark at this
time. Tnu toys, were compelled to
camp ou the island In a woodohopper's
cabin, Hiil alter remaining on the
island nil day were taken oft Friday
night about ft o'clock. They were
quite badly scared and are satisfied
that this hunt will last them for some
time to come.
