T w o boys, Ersel Grimer and Fay Coughtry, both about 17 years ot age, were out in a boat just abqve the locks. They pulled down near the dam and then attempted to cross the stream. However, they had approached too near and the swift current of the falls caught them and started <o draw them over; they made a sudden frenzied effort to regain control o f the boat and the row- lock broke. The boat plunged bow on over the dam, a height o f about 18 feet, landing right side up, but nearly filled with water. Immediately it was caught in the whirlpool and over turned, throwing both boys out. Neither could swim, but they managed to secure a bold on the boat and attempted to climb in, turning the boat several times. They drifted rapidly down in the swift water and were soon where the water was less swift and managed to cling to the boat till Mr. Hamblin and others who witnessed the scene, were able to reach them with a rope. Strange as it may seem, young Coughtry came out with his hat still on. Their escape is little short of a miracle.—Lafayette Visitor. % The Yamhill-Folk field-meet held in McMinnville Saturday, M ay 31, was a success in every particular. The 5 to 4 ball game between Newberg and Dallas teams, was an event that both counties may feel jiroud of. The Dallas boys are good losers, and took their defeat in the best of humor. The Yamhill boys held the lead in the field events, although both sides did some fine work and the Dallas boys won in some hard fought races. Ray Peffer, o f Webfoot, threw the hammer over 158 feet, break ing the high school record o f the Northwest. Other men from Newberg, Mc Minnville, Dayton and Sheridan made records that showed train ing and physical care that will be a great benefit to everyone, and an incentive to others to take part in the athletic w ofk in the future. Better drop into the office and choose your space for your ex hibit at the fair. It is going fast and they always take the best places first. Schools that have never taken part before are al ready in line. . Can we not have a club organ ized in every district to take charge o f the fair work? Many have tried the plan and believe it a good one. OBITUARY. Chancelor Randolph Johnson was born, August 1,1898, on a farm near Newberg in YamhiH County, Oregon.

His father died in 1908. On, his death-bed Chancelor manifested faith in Christ and asked his mother to repeat with him the little prayer: “ Now I lay me down to sleep.” Funeral services were held from Chehalem Center church Wednes day, 10 o’clock, interment in the N e w b e r g cemetery.
