Saturday afternoon, jake Granger, a ten
years old son of James Granger of Grove
street, met with a serious if not fatal acct
dent. He was climbing tree on Western
Avenue, near the junction of Grove street,
and when at distance of 20 feet from the
ground stepped upon rotten limb, which
broke, throwing him to the pavement below.
In his descent the little fellow struck head
first upon a guide post, and then fell to the
concrete sidewalk. Mr.. Brick, proprietor OF
the Central House, at once rushed to his
assistance, and took the unconscious boy
into the hotel, where he remained until DIR.
Webster could be summoned. No bones
were broken, but several blood vessels must
have been ruptured, as the little fellow
vomited blood, and lay insensible for some
time. 1t was a narrow escape from hor-
rible death, as he came down within few
inches of the sharp pickets of wooden fence
The boys parents wish to return thanks to
Mr.. Brick for his aid.

OREGON.
President HAYES.

PORTLAND, October 2. President Hayes
and party left by special train this morning
on the Western Oregon road for Forest
Grove, Washington county, to visit the
government Indian school A large crowd
was at the depot to meet him, and on being
introduced the President made a short speech
stating the special object of his visit there
was to see the workings of the school -
IL think it is the feeling Of every good
citizen that it was wise and just to make
good citizens Of these Indian boys and girls.
Some persons think God has decided they
should die off like wild animals. With this
we have nothing to do. If they are to become
extinct we ought to leave that to Providence,
and we as good Christian people should do
our best to improve their ply sicial, mental
and moral condition. (Cries Of "Amen.")
We should prepare them to become part Of
the great American family. If it turns out
that their destiny is to be different, we shall
at least have done our duty. This country
was once theirs. They owned it as much as
you own your farms. We have displaced
them and are now completing that work.
am glad that Oregon has taken step in the
right direction. l am glad that she is pre-
pairing Indian boys and girls to become good
Law abiding citizens"
The party dined with Capt. +. r. Merri-
man, an old personal friend Of the President
and an officer under him in the rebellion.
After visiting the school the party returned to
this city. Large crowds greeted the Presi.
dent at Hillsboro', Comedian and Other
stations on the road. At o'clock the party
took special steamer for Vancouver, where
