The Lebanon express. (Lebanon, Linn County, Or.) 1887-1898, 1894-08-24
TWO FAST WALKERS,

! The Portland Telegram gives long
account Of the recent 800 mile 9alk
j. Thorbnrn Ross, secretary OF the
little Guarantee aud Trust Co, and
Wallace McCamant, mention Of which
was made In the EXPRESS. They
were gone sixteen days, walking 800
miles in ten days, making as high as
40 miles in one day, going from Belk-
nap to Findly mostly by torchlight.
Below we give the account Of the trip
from Lebanon to the Metoles:
Leaving Lebanon on foot, They
passed through Waterloo, stopping
10 view and drink from the fine soda
spring there. They followed the Cas-
cade mountains and Willamette valley
wagon road most Of the way up the
iSantiam to Sweet Home and spent a
night ut Canyon creek ranch. This is
the abode of the McKinnons, a noted
hunting family. A l2-year-old boy in
the family killed his first bare at the
the age Of 5, and another Of the boys
has already killed 60 bears, to say
nothing Of deer innumerable. 1t was
about here that they commenced to
meet the mountain trout, and during
next two weeks trout was a staple
article Of food.
From here they went to Upper Soda,
and thence to the Mountain House,
about IA miles from McKinno's, where
they spent the night, leaving the
next morning for Fish lake.
They climbed the long ascent known
as the Seven-Mile hill, and after a bard
walk of l6 miles reached Fish Lake.
The lake is remarkable for its complete
disappearance in short space Of time
during the summer season. One man
told Mr., Ross that he had passed Fish
Lake one morning when 1t was filled
with water, and returning that even
ing had found it drained entirely and
a fine grass field. This story is pro-
duced without verification, but it is a
fact that within two or three days, at
frequent times, the lake has been ell
tirely drained of water
After few hours rest they proceed
ed to Clear Lake, very wonderful
body of water. Its water is clear as
crystal, and the lake is now where
there was formerly a fertile valley
covered with thick forest, The out
let to this valley has evidently been
damned by molten lava flowing
around it, and making deep embank-
ment, within which the lake was
formed. Through the clear water can
be seen the great forest still standing
at Its bottom, and as one rows in a
boat over the lake he is tempted to put
out his oar and touch the tops of the
trees, which to the eye appears possi-
Bile. 1t is not possible, however, as tine
water covers their tops many feet deep.
The waters Of the lake are cold as ice
and well stocked with large trout.
The following morning they started
for the Metolss, climbing the long hill
known as Sand Mountain, from Clear
Lake to Big Lake. This brought them
, to the summit Of The Cascades. From
Big Lake magnificent view was had
ofa number of snow-clad mountain
, peaks, including Three Fingered Jack,
, an imposing mountain taking its name
from the character of its surface, Sc.
sembling three fingers. Mount Jetter-
son was among Others.

THIRTEEN MINERS ENT0MB-
ED ALIVE.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Feb. Is, 1s94-An ex-
tensive cave-in occurred at the Gaylord
mine of the Kingston Coal Company
at Plymouth this morning. large
number of miners and laborers were
at work under section of the
roof which has for some time past
been considered very weak. After shot
had been fired, and without any warning
whatever, the roof, consisting of rock and
coal, fell in with heavy crash. 1t is not
known as yet whether any of the men were
killed outright by the falling debris, but it
is known that thirteen of them are hemmed
in one of the gangways.
The air supply is now shut off and the
chance of living for any length of time is
very small. An army of rescuers are hard
at work trying to reach the entombed men,
There is great excitement at the mouth of
the slope The relatives of the men shut in
the mine are gathered about the place and
their lamentations are pitiful. At this
writing the names of the entombed men can
not be obtained.

WHY THEY ARE OLD MAIDS.
A New England Housewife Tells
why Girls Cannot Mary.

One cause for SO many old maids is due to
the girls themselves, says the New England
Housewife. What young man of the mid
die class cares to marry girl who would
let her father wear O. coat with buttons off
and linen collar that is torn and ragged!
Such girl does not deserve a husband, and
she will be likely to join the grand army of
old maids. If there be anything on earth
the young men fight shy of it is slovenly
girl
The father or the brother is the evidence
and when you see them walking to their
work with their clothes torn and looking like
men who had to put up with slack wife,
mother or grown-up daughter and sister,
you need look for nothing better II you
marry into that family.
You know lazy girl or two of this kind,
don't you? Think of those you know and
we feel certain you can single out two or
three girls this article will hit. If SO, for
their own sake send this to them. Let them
do little plain sewing, and promise that
hereafter their fathers or brothers will not
walk the streets ragged and tattered. DIS
grace TO them and an Indication that they
are too lazy to be the wife of any good young
man who has to work for a living to make
home, and needs a loving, industrious help
mate to share the joys and burdens of life
with him.

OIL BAGS SAVED HER.
How the Tank steamer Potomac
yVeathered the Storm.

NEW YORK, Feb. 13, S94.-The full force
of the storm was felt in the harbor this MORN
ing, where the gale had full scope for its
wild rush. Crossing ferry boats felt the
brunt of the down sweeps of the wind as it
drove the snow and hail against them. So
it was with the tugs and other craft seeking
berth along the water front
The boatmen say that the wind with its
fifty mile gait stirred up the waters of the
upper bay into good sized seas
The soldiers stationed at Bedloe's Island
declare that the young cyclone almost tore
down the barracks building last night
Incoming steamers are doubtless getting
full share of it off the coast There is a
long list of steamers due here. Some are
from one to five days late. Up to eleven
o'clock but single ocean crosser had put
in an appearance. 1t was the tank
steamer Potomac from London. She re-
ports a succession of gales with tremendous
high seas, which tossed the vessel about,
threatening to send her to the bottom. The
steamer had to heave to in order to lessen
the force of the big waves. Oil
bags were hung from both sides of the bow
The Potomac had such stubborn fight
against the storm that her coal supply ran
short and fora time she ran with only
one boiler going.

CLAIMS OF THE nEFoRMERs.

CLAIMS OF THE REFoRBiERS
Mr.. George Record, in speaking. of the
matter, said to NEWS reporter this morn
ing:-''As committee, we do not claim to
be regularly organized Our claim is this:
People are tired of bossism and rings. The
Democratic party is in a state of revolution.
It is divided against itself Now we say,
perhaps, we can adjust all these difficulties
by giving the people a voice in the naming
of candidates. We will issue call for pri-
maries and have delegates elected by the
people who are unpledged and who will
vote for such candidates as people desire.
If any other committee desires to make
nominations, all right. Let the people de-
eide by their ballots which man they want.
We are in for fair play and will see that
voters get it.
INVITE A TEST
"The Democratic party at present is like

killed The members of that army simply
stand up and say whom they will elect gem
eral. If we are supported by the people, all
well and good. 1t will show that the COM

A WILD RUM0R ONLY.
No Proof That the Augusta Victoria
Has Foundered.

By Cable to the United Press.
LONDON, Feb. 10, 1S94.-A report was cir
culated in Berlin today to the effect that the
Hamburg American Line steamer Augusta
Victoria, Captain Barends, from Hamburg
for New York, had foundered. Emperor
William learned of the rumor and sent
despatch to Count Won Hatzfeldt, the Ger
man Ambassador in London, asking if it was
true.
At the offices of the company in Londons
nothing had been heard beyond the fact that
such a runor was in circulation, and no
credit whatever was given to it, the manager
of the office expressing the opinion that it

The Augusta Victoria touches at South
ampton and sailed from thence on Sunday.
The signal station at Lizard Point reported
that she had passed there at :45 o'clock yes
terday morning. At that time the vessel
signalled 'sAll welln This was the last heard
of her, as the Lizard is likely the last signal
station from which she would be seen.
The representative in this city of the
United Press subsequently had an interview
with the manager of the company. He de-
clared that the company did not have the
slightest anxiety regarding the safety OF the
steamer. The manager further said that he
was unable to explain how the rumor had
been started, though he professed to be able
to trace its origin to a French source, lntl-
mating that it had been started in Havre.
Inquiries made at Lloyds, where it is
probable if anything had happened to the
steamer the fact would be early known.
showed that the underwriters were ignorant
of any accident having occurred to her.
In shipping circles generally no credence
is attached to the rumOr.

INSECT LIFE.
A Successful Attempt to Extermfnate
MOSQUITOES.

A Successful Attempt to Extermfnate
Mosquitoes.
Insect Life, a magazine, gives an account
in its December issue of successful attempt
to exterminate mosquitoes. An exchange,
iu describing this experiment, says: "An
who have tried killing these pests by holding
a saucer of kerosene under them know now
powerfully the vaper acts upon them. Fol-
lowing this clew, Mr.. Howard suggested
last year that an attempt be made on a
large scale to destroy the larvae of the
insects in the marshes where they breed, and
an effort was made to try the experiment
in Westchesuer County, Ny, but the in
terest aroused there was uot sufficient.
Last June, however, dweller near Wash
ington, DC, whose house had usually been
plagued with mosquitoes, determined to put
Mr.. Howards plan to test Satisfying
himself that the insects bred in mill pond
and adjoining marshy land about an eighth
of mile from his home, he sprayed the sur
face, about 1900 square feet, with crude pet
roleum fifteen gallons sufficing for the pur
pose. Three weeks afterward the layer of
Oil was still perceptible, and no trace of
larvae remained, while the surface was
strewn with dead insects, including many
female mosquitoes During the succeeding
summer only few mosquitoes visited the
house, and the total price of this immun-
ity was $170 in money and about two
hours labor. A similar experiment has
been tried twice with like success in
Long Island towns. Mr. Howard claims no
especial originality for his method, but he is
certainly the first to bring it into promin-
encen Perhaps there may be a hint in this
for the relief of our own city. Let some
enterprising citizen come forth, and take
measures for spraying the meadows and de-
stroying the mosquito larvae which are nour-

suit Newark will be as free of these pests as
Hamelin was of the rats that the pied piper
led on to destruction by the charms of his

GREAT SCIENTIST DEAD.
The Death of Heinrich Hertz. a
xror.o EYl<,xur TO Snfnncn

The Death of Heinrich Hertz. a Se-
we're Blow to Science.
By the death few weeks ago of young
German professor at the age of thirty
years, science has suffered an affection, says
The Electrical World, even greater than
through the similarly premature deaths of
Pascal and Fresnel What Heinrich Hertz
had already done for science had come to be
regarded as merely foretaste, and the en-
tire scientific world was confidently relying
on his genius for extensions of his researches,
even to the final mysteries which nature has
so long and carefully guarded from the
covetous mind of man. 1t should be borne
in mind that the researches of Hertz have
not merely bearing on the phenomena OF
electricity and light. The mechanism OF
molecular physics. which carries with it
almost the solution Of the problem of the
universe itself, was concerned, and therefore
the loss through his death is not confined to
the scientific world alone, but intimately
concerns the entire human race. While
thus the master spirit is gone, the field he
opened up and the impetus he gave to re-
search remain. and will doubtless be
accelerated now that scientific workers
are thrown upon their own resources by his
untimely death and can no longer rely up
on his genius for further extensions. DR..
Oliver Lodge in tribute to the work and
character of Dr.. Hertz, in which latter the
modesty of true genius was SO predominant
says that mot student of physical science
on the planet but will realize and lament the
sad loss conveyed by the message, Hertz
is deadnv to which may be added that it
may be generations before the appearance
Of a fit successor may repair the loss

from this community man who has been
one of the foremost citizens of Newburgh of

Bulow, the distinguished pianist, died here
yesterday.
Hans Won Bulow was born in Dresden Jan.
6, 1880. He began his musical education
under Friedrich Week. In 1S4S he was sent
to the University of Leipzig to
study jurisprudence, his parents having
always regarded music as a mere
pastime, but he continued his studies in
counterpoint under Hauptmann: In the fol-
lowing year he entered the University OF
Berlin, and took great interest in the politi-
cal movements of that time, contributing to
Democratic journal, Die Abendpost. In
this paper he first began to defend the
musical doctrines of the new German
school, led by Liszt and
Wagner After hearing a performance of
''Lohengrin," at Weimer, in 1850, he threw
aide his law studies, went to Zurich,
and placed himself under the guidance of
Wagner. In June, 1851, he became a
pupil of List, and two years later
made his first concert tour. From 1855 to
1864 he occupied the post of principal master
of pianoforte playing at the conservatorlum
of Professors Stern and A. S. Marx, at Ber-
lin. In 1864 he was called to Munich as
principal conductor of the Royal Opera, and
director of the Conservatorium.
In 1869 he left Munich and has since given
concerts in Italy, Germany, Russia, Poland,
England and America. In January, 1878,
he was appointed Koniglicher Hofkapell-
meister at Hanover. In June, 1888, he gave

A GARRISON OF ONE
But General Wool Found 1t On Duty
and Ready for Action.


In 1868, while l Iwhs for day in Ports
mouth, N. H., it was given out that General
Wool was to visit Fort Constitution, in
Portsmouth Harbor, and resolved to make
an item of it by going to Newcastle and
making note for my newspaper of the de-
fenses there and witnessing the general re-
cepu1on by the garrison. Instead of the for
midable garrison I bad expected found the
fort held by an old ordnance sergeant of the
Seminole war, who still retained his rank
Sergeant Davidson-supported by his wife.
He was the perfect embodiment of soldierly
spirit-grave, erect, taciturn, every motion
governed apparently by the rules of war,
turning on his heel as if he were the guidon
of platoon.
He received me soldierly, with consider
able military dignity, and informed ME of
General WooFs expected arrival to visit the
fort, whom he was to receive. A salute be-
ing essential questioned him regarding his
ability to give it, but he assured me that it
was all provided for. There was but one
small boy who seemed available as assistant,
and marveled greatly how the sergeant
would operate to bestow the accustomed
honor
The general and his staff arrived in car
riages about noon, and as soon as they
neared the fort ''bangn went the first gun
in quick succession, and, getting into good
position for observation, I discovered the
garrison of one man and boy springing
from one canon to another, the sergeant
touching the piece off, the boy following to
cover up the vent with piece of lead.
Twenty men could not have performed the
duty with more precision and rapidity. The
guns had all been loaded and primed for the
occasion With the sound of the last gun
the sergeant was ready to receive his dis
tinguished guest by presenting arms at the
entrance.
"Where is the garrisonl" inquired the gen
eral
'sHere sir" was the reply.
"Where are the men who fired the sa-
luteg'
"Here, SIR" indicating himself and the
boy
The general laughed and made the old
sergeant happy by complimenting his per-
