.. Narrow Escape.
Private . advices from Southern
Oregon iri .a letter to J. P. Hicks,
written by his son, U. S. Hicks,
tell of a narrow escape from death
by his brother Joeeph. In mining
apparatus, there is constructed s
contrivance, which, in mining phra
seology is called a "self shooter,"
and, by the uninitiated, called "flood
chutes" These dams are used to
flood for washing purposes by the
miners, by means of opening the
head gates and allowing the water
to course with tremendous force
through chutes. In this manner,
vast quantities of rock and earth
are shot through with terrific force.
It seems that the young gentleman
was at work bejow the gate, and
knew nothing of the sluices being
raised until the boiling waters
were upon him. He was carried
in the neighborhood of 50 feet down
the chute and over a falls of 12 or
15 feet. Had he not been fortunate
in lodging on some rocks he would
have been swept into the Josephine
river, which flows a number of
yards below, and seeing that he
cannot swim, would in all proba
bility hrve been drowned. A few
scratches and bruises, with a
sprained ankle, constitute the in
juries, and bis relatives here con
sole themselves that it is no worse.
Those Water Cases.
It appears that another party
had instituted a suit against the
Oregon Iron & Steel Company, for
damages caused by their dam, but
the fact that Saffron secured a small
verdict for damages sustained by
his crop, puts a different face on
the whole matter. Monday morn
ing the defendants in the case Bet
for trial on that date came into
court with an amended answer and
counsel for plaintiff, asking for
more time to amend the complaint
accordingly, secured a continuance
of the case until the next term of
court. It is not yet known wheth
er the defendants will appeal from
the verdict in the Saffron case, but
it is thought by some that they
will. If they do and the supreme
court affirms the decision of the
lower court, the company may as
well pull out their clam. It will
be remembered that the jury's
finding was specific in awarding
damages on crop alone, the land
not being taken into consideration
whatever.
Returned From California.
Hon. Scott Cornel. us and wife,
formerly of this county, but now

Teachers' Institute.
A county teachers' institute was
held at Gaston, December 8. The
morning session was called to or
der by County Superintendent
BonA The first subject was good
roads. Good roads are needed for
school children and teachers, as
much irregularity of attendance at
our county schools is due to the
poor roads. This subject was dis
cussed by Messrs. Prof. Stanley,
Oliver and Porter, Miss Stewart.
Hon. Henry Raymond and others.
The concensus of opinion was that
a bill should be introduced into the
legislature providing for the esiab
lishment of a foot path along the
county roads. The question of
school apparatus then came up and
was ' discussed by Messrs. Prof.
Stanley, Porter, Lenox and others.
Those "blocks" which so many of
our school districts have purchased,
also came in for a share. After
dinner the subject of normal
schools and teaching was taken up.
The issuing of life diplomas to
graduates of schools and colleges,
who have not had practice in the
school room, was deprecated. The
session throughout was character
ized by earnestness and activity.
Thanks are due to Prof. Jones and
the good people of Gaston for the
fine music furnished. Those atten
dant were: Messrs Supt. Bond, J.
H. Stanley C. Percy Oliver, F. W.
Porter, K. K. Harding, S. E. Len
nox, Barnet Roc, Hon. Geo. Raym
ond, and the Misses Ella Florey,
Pearl Stewart, Blanche Harding,

Nothing in This World
Is so cheap as a newspaper, whether it be
measured by the cost of its production or by its
value to the consumer. We are talking about
an American, metropolitan, daily paper of the
first class like THE CHICAGO RECORD. Its so
cheap and so good you can't afford in this day
of progress to be without it. There are other.
papers possibly as good, but none better, and
none just like it. It prints all the real news of
the world the news you hare r for- every ' day.,
and prints it in the shortest possible space. You
can read THE CHICAGO RECORD and do a day's
work too. It is an independent paper and gives
all political news free from the taint of party
bias. In a word it's a complete, condensed,
clean, honest family newspaper, and it has the
largest morning circulation in Chicago or the
west 125,000 to 140,000 a day.
Prof. J. T. Hatfield of the Northwestern
University says: "THE CHICAGO RECORD
comes as near being the Ideal dally jour
nal as we are for some time likely to find
on these mortal shores,"
