NARROW ESCAPE AT LAFAYETTE
What came near proving a
fatal accident took place last
Sunday at the locks, just below
town on the Yamhill. 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.
