4 Narrow Escape.

The Corvallis Times gives the
following account Of a narrow es,
cape which occurred near Newport
last week:
A mile or more north Of the
mouth Of the bay at Newport two
rocky points nearly 100 yards apart
jut out into the ocean. The spot
last week was the scene of an ex-
citing incident. At very low tide
persons can pass around both points,
and on the occasion mentioned, a
party consisting of DR.. Bowen
Lester and Miss. Anna Allen, of
Corvallis, and Messrs. Edgar
Martin and Henry Mackaye, Of
Portland, were attempting the pas
sage. The tide was coming in and
the first point was passed after
much difficulty. The second point
was reached and considerable time
spent in trying to get around it,
1T! inding it impossible the party
gave it up. Back to the first point
they went in hurry, only to find
that the incoming tide had cut off
escape in that direction. Then the
hair rose straight up on the heads
Of all. They were completely cor.
rallied with the sheer walls behind
them and with the big breakers
creeping steadily nearer in front of
them. Finally a place where es-.
cape did not seem impossible was
discovered close to where the big
rollers dashed against the foot Of
the cliff. The party made for it,
over the slick bolders. Progress
was slow and before it was reached
DR.. Lester spied 2 big breaker com.
ing and made a jump to get out of
the way. The doctor hates bath.
ing In the salt sea, and is a neat
man withal. He had his neatness
and his dislike of salt water with
him at the time and longed to es.
cape that wave. He didn't though,
for hia foot slipped and he went
sprawling. The big roller soused
him under and he arose drenched
to the hide, his shirt front and hair.
filled with sea weed, sand and mus
sci shells, Mr.. Martin was also
caught and drenched above his
waist. Finally the point was reach
ed, but after getting within ten
feet of the top the party was about
to give up the attempt, when a
shout from above attracted their at
tention. A mans head appeared
over the precipice, and with a long,
pole he assisted the party out of
the snap, and all still live to tell
the tale Of their narrow escape
from death.

Chas. Winant has accepted his
old position on the government
works at Newport, and has gone
there to work.
County Surveyor Gideon came
up from Waldport to survey the

The Harrison saw mill is running
again, and they expect another
schooner in after lumber at an early
date. They have been able 10 es-

gotten into the water, they may be
able to do some business.
The confirmation of Robert John
son as postmaster at Corvallis was
made in an executive session Of the
United States Senate OIL the nth
of August. For some reason, an
oversight, perhaps, the fact was
not telegraphed as usual to coast
papers, and the news was first
learned IN this city by the receipt
of copy of the congressional
record last Saturday evening. Bob's $
case has hung fire in the post Office
and post roads committee of the
senate since the latter part Of March,
but there is no doubt now but that
the young man will get his papers
in a few days,-Corvallis Times.
Arrangements are being made to
chatter a boat next Saturday from
Toledo to the beach and other
points of interest along the Bay.
Music both vocal and instrumental
will be one of the features of the
day; it being the intention to take
an organ on board. The fare will
be exceedingly low-the intention
being to sell a round trip ticket for
Twenty-Five Cents. 1t is hoped
all will turn out and make this the
most enjoyable event Of the season.
AS the excursion is under the
auspices of the NJ. +. church there
will be no services at the old school
house on that day or evening so
ALL may have an opportunity to
go, Come All.

A couple of ranchers living north
OF town spent night in the woods
recently from somewhat peculiar
cause. Mr.. Hurley started out to
hunt his COWS and night coming on
him he got lost. His wife got
frightened when he failed to return
at the proper time, and went to
Milt Campbell's, a neighbor's, to
get him to go and hunt for him,
Mr., Campbell started bravely out
and finally came within hearing of
Mr.. Hurley, but somehow could
not get to him, and Just then he
discovered that he, Campbell, was
lost also. So they passed the night
in this situation, both within hear
ing Of each other, but unable to get
together or to find their way home.
Daylight finally came and they
were enabled to find their way out
and to get safely home.
The news that the county judges
OF Benton and Lincoln have enter
ed into stipulations to settle the tax
squabble that has vexed the citi-
zens of each county for more than
a year is encouraging. Two good
arbitrators with the records before
them can easily adjust the matter
so equitably that neither county
nor a citizen of either county, will
lose cent and the courts will be
spared litigation that would have
cost hundreds, to say nothing of
the wear and tear of the peoples
tempers saved. Let the good work
go on and the end come, for the
interests of the two counties are so
interviewer, that sectional war
between them is suicide.-Corvallis

Speaking Of the Oregon hop fields
this year, a dealer said at Portland
the other day: 'I think you can
safely say that the yield of hops for
1894 will be the largest ever known
in the history of the state. For
this there are too reasons; one is
that the season has been very
favorable, and the other is the in
creased acreage. Roughly, Ishould
estimate that the total yield for
Oregon will be not less than 60, 600
bales"
