the Alsea conn try on a fishing and
hunting expedition.
According to the story told by his
companion, Schultz was fishing on the
hank of a stream ami in flipping his
fly the hook caught on the limb of a
tree. Krom the rock ledge upon
which he was standing he was unable
to extricate it and was in the net of
climbing the tree which was over
hanging rie stream when he lost hts
foothold, slipped and fell 25 feet to
a rock "?ilge ami slid in several feet
of water. Alexander at the time w;is
fish'ng tonic distance farther up
stre.'iin and how Schultz managed to
cral cm of the swiftly moving cur
rent is i miracle and his escape from
drowtng is considered miraculous.

was hcai.l by Alexander, who imme
diately came to the injured man's as

train, lie arrived here yesterday and
was met at the depot bv Mrs. Coff in
Wr automobile and carried home.
Pr. Wallace was called and rendered
medical assistance. The injured limb
was placed in a planter cat and it
will be necessary for the patient to
be taken to the hospital for an x
ray examination, before the fracture
can be set.
NOTES AND PERSONAL
MENTION FROM SHEOD
Substantial Increase Over Re
port of 1912; Detailed State
ment Is Given.
County Assessor Karl Kisher ha
just completed his summary of the i
valuations of the assessable property !
in Linn county for the year 1913. j
The summary shows that the total ,
taxable property exclusive of public ',
service corporations and household j
goods is valued at $26,448,825. j
Last year the total taxable prop-;
erty including household goods and
public service corporations, such as
telephone lines, railroad and other
items, was valued at $26,042,295.
The 1913 summary thus shows an
increase over that of the year of 1912
of $406,530. With this it must be
borne in mind that household goods
ami public service corporations are ex
empt from the county tax roll tliis
year as the taxation of these corpora
tions are now done through the state
department. Mr. Kisher stated this
morning that the exemption of house
hold goods lowers the estimate of the
tax summary about $4lX.000. and oth
er items at least $200,000. iiut for
this an increase in the valuation of
property in this county during the
year would be over a million dollars.
The various items included in the
summary as compiled by Assessor
Kisher, follows:
Acres of tillable land, $6,671,750.
Acres of non-tillable land, $11,208,
195. Improvement on deeded or patent
ed lands, $1,282,135.
