LOCAL IltiCOHl). Livk Day at tiik Ha v. -Yesterday was a Iivoly day at Yaiuuia hay. Tho yacht raco came off aa announood and was witnessed by a larfjo crowd uf penplo. Soyen or eight yachts entered the raco hut ouly two or three were heard from scriuusly. Tlia raco was from Newport around the Sand Spit, oiF Vi imina City, twice. A stiff brotze made the aailora mind their tackle, but eveu with the greatest vigilance one or two catastrophios happened. Stable, owned by J)l Davis, of Yarjuina City, won, tikiitq first money, $15; White Wini,', owned by Burroughs Bros, was second. Huston, uwuod by Dave Hastings, a yacht that sold abuut favorito, mado a poor record. Too much dipping, they said. Hod Bird, owned by Tom bufurtt. failed to meet the sea breezes in just the riht manner, ca reened to her sides and spilt the crew into the icy waters of Yafjuina, causing great excite meot among the spectators. Mr Hufurd, Frank Williams, Joe White, Mr ilaieuateiu and two others wero on board. The Kebecca liasteucd to the aid of the men, all of whom were saved, though considerably frightened. We understand ao.ne of tho parties are dis satialied with tho result, and another race will be sailed. Hay I'kkssinc;. IVof.J. L. Gilbert, of Lebanon, is in the city tc-day. '1 he Pro fessor's hay press Is proving quite a suc cess. A few days ayo two men and a boy, jjreen hands baled about six tons with one, in between five and six hours. More hay is being pressed this summer than com monly. With the price at $J a ton, which we understand is the rate this summer, it will pay to do it generally and not only hay but good straw. Game Law. Under this law grouse and pheasants can now be killed beginning with the 15th, That was Sunday. The event was anticipated a little resulting in a large number of grouse for Sunday din ners. In the matter of pheasants it is cus tomary to bring them in already dressed, and many declare that the appearance of the flesh has changed in a remarkable man ner in the last year or two. Incipient. Saturday evening the incip ient blazes of a thirty round pugilistic con test flared up opposite the postouicc. One fellow finally yelled, "can't you quit" In such a dampening way that it put the pu gilistic contiugration out. No arrests.' . Iced Air. A great recommendation for the eastern (heater this summer is iced air. It is the only thing tnat draws so hot are the evenings. Here evenings we have iced air perennially. Nature (iocs it by sending fresh sea breezes over the moun tains, und our nights are not only bearable but a welcome tunc of the day. Enterprise. Mr, L. Martin, of Ash land, sends his peaches to market done up in paper, the boxes nicely labeled showing just where they come from. Mr. Martin has no difliculty in selling all the peaches he can raise, nnd soon the cry will be gen erally for the Martin peach. This kind of interprise always counts. Recovering. Mr. John Gilliland, of Sweet Home, arrived in the city this morn ing. He reports young Minnaee, who was shot in the head recently, as slowly im proving with good prospectsof recovering. This is a rctnarkanlc case of vitality. Mr. G. says a comparatively small number of deer hunters have gone into the mountains yet. Foot Hack. The 100 yard toot raee run in Portland yesterday between Cameron, of Coryallia, and Hsrsch, of Portland, was won by C&ncrou by about uix luchea. Tune, 10 12 seconds. Considerable money changed handd, some of which will eomo to Albany. Corvulii and Albany men together won about SIO'Jl) off Portland men, and now feel as if tliey were about even with that city on account of the shameful muunor in whieli tlio Albany hoys wore swindled out of several prizes won at the Portland tournament.

The aggregate an nual premium is about 340,000, of which the agent's share the first year will be nearly SI.-..000. Pt re Water. The following is what Judge Davis, a level headed Illinois man says of the local newspaper. We publish it for the benefit of some who sponge their reading or are perpetually growling because things are not run to suit them : "Every year every local paper gives from $icot' $5000 in free lines for the so'e benefit of the vicinity in which it is located. No other agency can or will do this. The local editor, in proportion to his means, docs more for his town than any other ten men, and in all fairness, man with man he ought to be supported, not because you may happen to like him or admire his writing, but because a local paper is the best investment a community can make. To-day the cditots of the local papers do the most work for the least money of any men on earth. Subscribe for your local paper, not us n charity, but as an investment." A Narrow Escape. K. S, Glandon, living near McCoy, Polk county, and a hired man Saturday had a most thrilling experience and a narrow escape from death from collision with the west side up-bound passenger train. Mr. Glandon and his man sometime niter ten o'clock, hitched up the work team to the farm wagon, and started for McCoy, not far distant. On the way they had to cross the west side In a wheat field. It appears that they did not notice the approach of the train, for when they got 011 the track It was so close upon them that the v had to jump for their lives. The cowcatcher struck the two horses and liter ally disemboweled them both, and com pletely demolished the wagon. How Mr. Glandon and his man escaped without In jury is a mystery. It is said that the train approached entirely without warning, and that wiien the men discovered it, it was so iK-nr that they had not time to save the horses, which were valuable. Slnftsmaii.

Adrcss Miller's Station, Linn county, Or. Til K I'ltl.NKKIiK. Following Is the address of Mrs. Eliza Warren, of Brownsville, delivered at the Pioneer's Rc-uniou, held atCrawfurdsrille on June sSth, Coming from the first white born person in Oregon, one whose name was connected with some of the most startling events of the pioneer days of the Northwest, the address is one of great interest : I think 1 will first have to say that this is a very embarrassing position for me to un dertake. Never haying practice nor expe rience in speaking or reading in public, and hut little couragc,putting all together mak ing ic very embarrassing indeed. Nor do I think 1 would hnve undertaken it now, but I have been so often soliciicd to say or write something, that I had about made up my mind that it 1 ever intended to say any thing, it was about time to make a start, I was also impressed with a notice which I saw in the Urrgouian a short time ago, that Geo. II. 1 limes, Secretary of the Pioneer Association at Portland had published, in which he said that much valuable matter that might have been preserved is now lost because pioneers have not fully realized their responsibility to those who are to fol low. Death lias made sail havoc in the ranks during the past year. In a few years there will be none left to tell the story, and the places that now know us will know us no more. Many of you know, no doubt, that I am an old Orcgonian. Mr. and Mrs. Spalding were my parents, and in com pany with Dr. Whitman and wife came to Oregon in 1836, as Missionaries to the In dians. My motlierand Mrs. Whitman were thfi first white women that crossed the Rocky Mountains. They were obliged to travel" horse-back most of the way. And considering the hardships .;nd dangers through which they had to pass, it was wonderful that they cou d survive such a trip, my mother's health being very poor most of the time. I was born in Oregon, in 1837. It was Oregon Territory at that time ; but since has been divided into Idaho Territory and Washington Terri tory, and State of Oregon, which makes my birth-place in Idaho where the Lapway Agency is now situated. My father and mother were with the Nez Perce Indians. Dr. Whitman and wife were with the Cay use Indians near where the city of Walla Walla now stands, and one hundred miies from where we lived. They werejour near, est neighbors. Wc lived there till I was ten years old, so you see 1 had no school advantages then. I became quite well ac quainted with the ways and customs of the Indians, and could speak their language as well as my own. Father and mother taught them so that many of them could read and write quite well in their own language, and 6ome to card and spin and weave qqite nicely. We have witnessed their war dances, their iham fights and other perform ances. We traveled over the country horse hack and with pack horses the same as the Indians and camp where night would over take us, crossing the rivers in canoes and swimming our horses. But once we were caught, we attempted to ford the Clear Water River where Lewiston is now situ ated and got into swimming wnter, of course we had to stem it through. It was night and we had ten miles yet to go before we reached home. The weather was cold and our clothes were toon frozen. There is hardly a day passes but what my memory wanders back to those childhood days ami scenes. In the fall there would be 6onie emigrant families that would stop at Dr. Whitman's to spend the winter and rest themselves and their worn-out teams, coin ingon to this Valley in the spring. Of course there would be enough children to have school during the winter. When I was nine years old my parents sent me over to attend school that winter. Father was so busy he could not take me and they sent me in the care of an Indian woman. She helped my mother about the house a good deal. We were out three days and two nights alone. I doubt whether there is a mother in this assembly who would risk her child in that way ; but I was perfectly safe in her care. The next winter when I was ten years old my father tok me over to attend school again. That is how I came to be there at the massacre, when the Indians murdered Dr. Whitman and wife and twelve of the emigrant men. It was the first day of school and near the hour of noon when the crash was made. It seems I can almost hear the Indians war whoop, the firing of guns, and the running too anil fro. We poor frightened children huddled together and tried to hide, but they soon found us and brought us out. I felt sure our time had come, and I put my apron to my face so I would not see the guns pointed at us. For sonic reason they did not murder the women and children", but held us as captives for three weeks. We were ransomed by the Hudson Bay Company who were commanding at Van couver at that time. In a few days my mother received word of what hail hap penedat Dr. Whitman's ; of course she was frantic She sent two of our Indians ntoncctosce what had become of father and myself. When they came they thought they would take me right home", but the Inuians would not let me go. Timothy was the name of one of the Indians who came for me. When he told me that they could not take me, the Indians would not let me go, I then, for the first Mine, broke down hi tears. It seemed ns if my heart would burst. Timothy wiped the tears from my face, and said, "poor Eliza don't cry you shall see your mother." Father had a very narrow escape in getting back liotnc, was out six days and nights without any thing lo eat. Wc all came down the Col umbia River in open boats in December and had a severe trip. In 188 we moved up to this Valley near where Brownsville is now situated. In 1S51 my mother died nnd was the first person buried nt the cem etery near Ilrownsvillc. Number the graves that arc llicrc now. Neighbors were scarce and far between, it was thought nothing to walk three or four miles to vil! each other. Wc lived in small log houses generally consisting of one room. Our cixiking was done by the lire place. Visitors generally remained over night in thoc days. In visiting we would often take some article of food which we thought our neighbor would not have, and go for miles to church on horseback or with ox teams. But those were good old times, it docs me good to think of them now. Hut again wc feel sad wh n we realize that there are but few left now that were the older ones then. And how Is it now with those that were in their youth then ? Many of us are now with our heads silvered over with the frosts of many winters. Our cheeks arc furrow ed, our bodies are bent, and time has laid his hands heavily 011 most of us. Our hearts are weeping for the loved ones that have been taken from us. We are thank- fill that a coodlv number nre still nermlt. ted to meet on this occasion, and hope and y.uj iimi mere win oc many more re-un ions for us in the future. A Gin Accident. Dispatches from Dayton, W.T., state that yesterday Clar ence Kuhn, aged fifteen, and Guy Cook, aged seventeen, were out hunting fifteen miles from Dayton. The two were on one horse with a shotsrun that was loaded They saw some grouse, and in some way both fell off the horse. In the fall the gun w ent off and Kuhn was shot in the back, and Cook in the hip. The wounds are se rious. The boys live at Davton. Young V.il,',V n,,..,. I I .1" i'-in- unm icsuicu 111 iioanv.
