Roseburg Review: The very worst
feature of the late flood is just now
becoming apparant. It gives the
"oldest inhabitant" an jexuusu Re
calling up his oft repealed reminis
cence of the great flood which oc
curred in the sixties.
The Jefferson Review says that to'
R. E. Keeuo is due the credit of
saving the Stayion bridge. Mr.
Keeno allowed himself to be loweied
from the bridge onto some drift
that had accumulated against one of
the piers, aud while swinging by n
rope sawed a large log in two which
allowed the drift to swing clear, aud
float down the river.
Albauy Herald: It seems that
Oregon City has been the heaviest
loser in the floods, of any of the
Willamette valley cities. Many
industries had started up there in
the very path of destructive floods,
and have suffered in consequence
thereof. It is fortunate that the
owners of these enterprises, as a
rule, were wealthy men, and the
plants will be replaced very soon.
The Assessor's convention at Port
land adjourned; among other lesolu
tionst the following was adepted:
Resolved that we are in favor of
the repeal of the mortgage tax law,
on the ground that it drives money
oil' and excludes money from the
state, aud because tue consequent,
increased rate ot mteiesi invanauiy
falls upon the lender. Also unit
a law be passed compelling u&ses
ors under penalty to assets all piop
erty at its true cash value and that
the law allowtngxemptiou indebt
edness be also repealed.
Eugene Register: Since the
floods have subsided, investigation
reveals the fact that abutments
and piers have not been properly
constructed to withstand the pres
sure brought agalust them, and a
number of valuable bridges have
been lost In consequence. uooti
rock or concrete foundations, and
solid masonry for piers and abut
ments, will cost more than cribs,
but the superstructure will last
longer aud thecounty will be gainer
In the end. Now is a good time to
flirure on the difference in the cost
between iron aud wooden bridges.
Yamhill Co. Reperter: The rain
fall since January 1st, has been
great for Oregon, last rnursuay,

o
Tho Unitarian Society.
At theanuual meeting held Thurs
day evening, the resignation of Rev.
M. V. Rork was accepted. His ser
mon of last Sunday evening on the
church and state caused some com
ment, and some objection has been
raised to tho pastor's views on
politics and religion. A resolution
was adopted vry comp imentary
to Mr. Rork, r.nd a number of the
society expressed themselves pre
ferring to continue tho ol I relation,
"politics and prohi. thrown in."
All was said and done In the kind
liest manner.
A reporter , cal led on Mr. Rork,
who declined to "make any state
ment. In tho talk it was learned
that other fields had been inviting
tho now ex-pastor for sometime.
He ha I been In favor of building a
church aud widening tho field of
the society's work. The society was
able to do this and ho did not want
to go on In the old way. He thought
ii i.ooiio'.i ciiurcii ot no denomina
tion, that would uurit ror the spirit
ual elevation of the masses might
be a success in Salem; did not know
as it would bo dciire.l. He was elec
ted as state organizer of the new
national party last fall.
A prominent member of the
society was seen aud told tho re
porter that step were taken to oni
ploy another preacher aud the
sciety would not long be without
public services.
At the meeting of the Unitarian
society last night T.L. Golden, Win.
England aud Mrs. N. A. Golden
were re-elected trustees of the soci
ety for three yeirs. There- will be
no services next Sunday, Mr. Rork
contemplating entering other fields
of work.

to
During tho memorable Tuest'ay of
the flood wce, when the raging
waters were sweeping down the
Willamette with destructive force,
threatening houses and oilier prop
erty ou both sides for uucerta n
dNtauces, tho gallant young men of
Salem had formed rescuing parties,
and wherever distress was expected
or feared, they launched their boats
and tendered their assistance, thus
doing much good work and being
ever ready to do more.
There lives a short dlstanco above
the city ou tho Polk county side an
old gentleman of the genus Yankee,
with a big Y, and tho rescuers,
thinking perhaps his domicile
might be in danger from the flood,
laboriously pulled across tho augrv
stream and Inquired whether ho
was uneasy or desired -to bo mot'id
out.
"Na-a w, I guess not," said the
imperturablc old gentleman; "I
guess I'll stay a while longer and
sec how the thing looks." This was
in the forenoon aud the waters were
elevating at a rapid rate, so tho boys
told him if -he should find himself
iu uuy danger through tho day to
hoist a fiag of distress and they
would come to his relief. Keeping
their eyes watchfully open along
the western horizon, the rescuers,
Home time during tho afternoon, de
scried the unmistakable ilag of
distress flying from tho premises
of the old gentlemen aforesaid. Into
their boat jumped two. of the most
stalwart youths, and tho river be
ing now u boiling torrent, tho most
heroic pulling was necessary to
cross its almost resistless tide. They
finally reached the yellow kouso at
the foot of tho hill and asked the old
man If ho was in danger aud de
sired to be moved.
"Na-a-w; I reckon I'm In no per-
tlcular danger, but I have a nice
iat pig Here and 4 thought as now
mebbe you'd take it over to Salem
and sell it ferine," coolly remarket;
the color-bearer of distress.
The feelings of the rescuing party
can better be imagined than writ
ten out.
UNIVERSITY N0TKS.
Miss Eliza Maasey will re-enter
school Monday, after having been
absent for several weeks.
Miss Cora Rigby, of Patahu,

of her father.
Dr. Jessup presented tho Wom

treat.
Prof. Van Bcoy went down to
Mt. Angel this afternoon to spend
Sunday with Mrs. Van Scoy and

waltz at their last meeting, com
posed by Prof. Parvln which he
entitled "Fair Mount Park Waltz."
Prof. Van ycoy took the trouble to
obtain a few statistics of tho school,
Tuesday, which exhibit some Inter
csllng facts and go to prove that
peoplo ciii better see the advantage
of tluir pilvllages only when they
are deprived of them. Ills ojworva
tionsshow ihatof the 200 students
now attending tho literary depart
ment ouly about 30 are of Salem,
while 15 come from other states and
3-') of that number are from
tho new stato of Wash, and ten

Scarcely a county of this state but

It was McCi.kvt.IiAN!. An ar
tlclo In Monday's Joukn'AIj relating
to the young girl nt Tacoma com
mitting suicide over a colored lover
caused considerable discussion
among those who were acquainted
with the parties. It has since been
learned that It was undoubtedly tho
colored waiter McClevcland, who
was tho dusky spouse. McClevelnxd
drew his revolver on Isaac Grant
Foul in this city instead of Robt.
