All streams iu the country have been
higher the past week than they have been
for many years, caused by melting snow in
the mountains, says the Condor Globe
While crossing q stream iu Lost Valley,
Alex Hardie's horse fell with him in deep
water, and Alex narrowly escaped drown
ing, his horse getting on top and holding
him under for more than a minute. Alex
says it was the only time in his life that he
felt that it was of the utmost importa noe to
keep his mouth shut, which he thinks il was
all that saved him. While returning from
Heppner, William Meek also had narrow
escape from drowning his team in Rock
creek at Frank Downer's placo, and one Of
W. G. Flett's boys had almost q miraculous
escape from drowning in the creek near his
home at Shelby. Besides these there were
a number Of narrow escapes from drowning

The speech of Senator Hill was chiefly
devoted to an extensive and bitter attack
on the iucome-tax feature OF the Wilson

took wider range. He raid: "The

elections law as fulfllment of the party
pledges an triumph for the just doc

to the main question, the tariff reform,
he said that the provision should be ap-
prenlated with circumspectIen aud with
realizing sease of the changed cond,&
tion of the country since 1883 and 1890.
Continuing, he said:
IAN extreme reduction of tariff duties

with surplus of $lOO 000, 900, when the
country was reasonably prosperous. when
all our workmen were employed, assumed
different aspect and presented differ

face, with our industries paraiyzed, our
manufacturers closed. our workman idle.
and following upon the heels of one of
:be most disastrous tnancial panics In
history. What was sale and prudent
and wise then. it would be criminal folly
to attempt now. The present Is no time

publicaus should strive to solve the ex +.

riotism.
