DRUMMsRs.- drummer from the
East as much as any other class Of people
gives Us an Idea Of what Eastern people
think Of this country, and how absolutely
ignorant they arc Of Us. A day or two ago
one received letter at this city informing
him In serious manner that Harrison was
elected, not as a joke, but the writer
thought he had probably not heard of II.
Another one says his "boss" told him he
would have TO go we'll prepared, as he
would have TO travel mostly In wagons.
whereas he had not been In ono ut all.
Another commercial tourist after reaching
the Columbia wrote back TO friend dc.
scdbing In glowing but not exaggerated
words our country. lie received an
answer like this. aYour description Il very
nice; but believe II Is a id lIe." And
so we might continue instances. These
show what we have TO contend with. The
truth IL we are not as much In the back
woods as = majority Of the towns In any of
the Eastern states; VIC wear AZ many ping
hats, bly, as snueh silk aud In fact dress bet
ter than In many places much larger. We
read ~ much and get the news just as
early. Fer genuine civilization this valley
will take a reserved seat with most any
country.
A BRAKgMAS's FALL.-A brakeman on
the freight train named Van Rankin was
taken to Junction City last Friday, where
his parents reside! In m almost iifeless con.
dltisn. He had been knocked from the
freight train going north. The Salem
Journal gives the following account Of the
accident. which happened at Jefferson
'The train was In full motion and vanRan.
kiu was between two cars cxamining the
bulk heads. He swung out and started to
mount the train. At just this moment the
train was passing over the bridge, and a. he
| started up the ladder he was struck by the
| timbcrs of the bridge and knocked 20 the
| solid rock twenty-five feet below. lie was
picked up an almost iifeiess form. One
| leg was broken by the fail and he is other
wise badly bruised. Aside from being cut
up about the face and head by coming ID
sudden contact with the bridge, he Is ter
ribly bruised by his awful fall. Although
he Is horribly bruised, almost beyond recog
milton, II Is thought he may recover. Al

ed from such an elevation TO the solid rock
below, that he may be seriously injured
