back, but the water had risen seven. or eight

boat and started over the swollen flood

turned over and the victims caught on a
stump and screamed for help. Mr.. R.
McNutt and others could hear them cream
ing and praying for help, but it was dark as
pitch and there was no boat within miles,
and they were compelled to leave them to
their fate. In the morning Mr.. Shaw. who

others went in boat to their rescue, and
found the couple on stump, both appar-

Christmas Gift.

One of Corvallis beautiful bells when no
one was in the room with her and when she
supposed no one was in hearing distance,
and while she was sitting in the dim twi-
light by the window rejecting over the
many presents which would be bestowed
upon different ones in the vicinity during
the coming holidays, she forgetfully COM
menced talking to herself and in the con-
versation she was recounting those things
which herself and some of her friends would
like to have. She went along some length
naming the nice things which some of her
friends would like until she came to herself
when she remarked in little louder tone
of voice than Heretofore to the effect that
she hoped Santaclaus would bring her a
husband At that particular time the lis
tener near by made some little noise and
the talking ceased.

Three Persons Drowned While Crossing IA
quina Bay After Night.

A very sad affair occurred on "Wednesday
evening of last week when George Stephens,
Daniel Simpson and David Dean were cap
sized while in a boat and drowned. 1t
seems shat they had been at work on the
government works at Yaquina bay on south
beech. After the days work was ended IN
the evening they started home to Newport
in skiff The bay was quite rough and
the night was also so dark that it was dlf-
ficult to see plainly. They came along very
well until they reached about the middle
of the main channel, when the large swell
that struck their boat capsized it and all
therein went overheard. Their shrieks
were plainly heard by those on the bank at
Newport In less time than it takes to tell
it several hundred people were on the bank
and boats were sent out, but so9rough was
the water and dark the night that nos assis-
tance could bo rendered. In fact others
who went out to assist came near meeting
similar fate. The boat in which those
drowned were attempting to cross the bay
was found the next day stove to pieces on
the beach. The bodies Of the drowned men
had not been found at last accounts. 1t is
supposed that the heavy tide took them out
to sea,

Summit Items.
EDITOR GAZETTE: Thursday after
a tremendously heavy rain lasting several
days the Mary's river overfowed its banks
and flooded, in some places to depth of
five and six feet, by far the greater part of
the valley along its entire length. On Fri
day the water began to subside and the
Mary's river has now receeded to almost
it's normal level. A voting man living here
seems to have really enjoyed it, having
swan mile and waded Z with his clothes
on merely out of sheer enjoyment. Several
others too proved themselves to be very
proficient in wading. Most of the bridges
near the Summit are wholly or partly
washed away. In fact the weather lately
has been too utterly delightful for Ore
gon.
Mr.. Hercig who badly injured his knee
by the upsettin9 of his cart whilst teaming
to tunnel No. l, is I am glad to say again
able to get about.
Work on tunnel No. is progressing
satisfactorially. BY latest accounts $50 feet
of tunnel is completed besides the cutting
leading up to the entrance. Twenty-eight
feet was finished last month. Mrs. Post is
boarding the white hands and gives gener-
al satisfaction. Mr.. McGiliiverary is now
foreman vice Wilson dismissed. Mr.. Nc.
MILAN is superintendent Of tunnels l, 2 and
as heretofore.
We are anxious to know when the new
game laws come into effect as they are very
important to all who hunt:
There will be dances on Christmas day at
Mr.. Bakers who lives near the Little Elk
postof6ce and it Mr.. Pyburn's on Mary'a
river At both of these houses good times
are expected.
During the latter half of November relig-
ious services were held daily at the Summit
| school house by Bishop Castle of Philomath
and Mr.. Dixon. Great success attended
their efforts and many heathens were con-
verted. To-day they are commencing an
other crusade against the wicked.
Yours Truly,
