The Chinese around the Black diamond
mines. in w. T., were mobbed last Monday
and driven off. This viii never settle the
question. II would be grand thing though
for the Pacific Coast II it could be settled in
q legal manner so that we could be rid Of
them. The influx OF people from the East
shows the necessity Of the field Of the labor
er being left exclusively to the white man.
The fact that ii is not is draw back to this
country. So long as the Chinese remain
here white men will not do the work they do.
We are compelled TO hire the Celestial for
certain branches of labor. Only their with
drawal can produce change, but it is not
their fault that they are here, and SO long as
they are allowed to mako this their home il
is only human to tr eat them well.

Narrow Escape.

On last Sabbath morning seven OF the
children of our worthy fellow citizen, v
Ii Caldwell, who lives about two miles
from tho city across the Calapoola Ia the
direction OF Corvallis, were coming TO
town to church. The approach to the Gala
pooia bridge Is quite long and high, and
protected with very weak banisters. As
their team was just entering the bridge,
which Is covered ons, the team became
frightened at tho large and flashy advor-
tising signs painted on tho bridge, and be-
gan to run backward. They pushed the
wagon back and Off 10 the side, where Il
struck the banisterS, which gave way and
the hind wheels rolled OF. The fore wheels
caught on the ends of the planks Of tho
approach of the bridge, The children all
tumbled out, falling distance OF ten or
twelve feet. but none were hurt seriously,
Mr., Red6eld, Mr., Woodin and another
gentleman all happened to be near and
helpAd tho children set things to rights,
and started them back home. II was q
happy escape indesd. We think such
large fash advertising on bridges should
not be allowed. Il Is further suggested
that such banisters should be protective
rather than deceptive.
