THURSDAY
A BR AVE ACT.

Those who saw his quick and thorough
work last Sunday are prone to regard
James McErlane rs hero. McErlane is
the man who succeeded the late John
Campbell as conductor of tie Oregon
Genital freight train. Last Sunday Me-
Erlaae's train was bound ior Albany.
The train was now nearing Blodgett sta
ton, and was rushing at speed of fif-
teen miles per hour. A county road par
allels the track for some distance in this
vicinity, and as the train shot around a
curve in one OF the narrow defiles those
on the train saw sight that almost froze
their blood. On the hillside road, few
yards distance from the swift moving
train horse reared and pitched and
plunged. To his side, her foot hanging
in the stirrup and her head dragging was
u young woman. The sudden appear
ance of the train had frightened the an
imal, and he had thrown his rider but
her foot had hung in the stirrup and re
fused to become disengaged. She had
already lost her hold of the reins and the
horse was free to dash away in any dir
ection with his hapless burden. The sus-
pense of those who watched with bated
breath did not last long however, and
the expected did not happen. Almost
before they knew il man leaped up the
bank to the horses head, a strong hand
grasped the reins and the frightened
lady was extricated from her perilous
position. She was soon rallied, and be-
yond her terrible fright she had nothing
except few bruises to tell the story oil
her narrow escape. Her rescuer was
Jimmy McErlane, the gallant conductor
of the freight train. From the top of
box car he saw the lady's danger, and
with q leap from his car and quick dash
up the bank he saved her life. She is
said to have been young and pretty, and
Jimmy McErlane is not married man.
Why shouldn't this true story end like
the yarns they tell in the noyels?-Cor-
Wallis Times.

FRIDAY

AN ALBANY GIRL's ENfERIENcE.-It i,
told BY the Lincoln County Leader
Last Friday evening lady giving her
name as Smith, arrived on the train
from Albany, and hunting up Sheriff
Landis and Marshal Hall, sought their
assistance in the recovery of her four
teen year-old daughter, which she claim
ed had been enticed away from Albany
by Mrs. Fred Baker, woman quite well
known on the bay. Mrs. Baker and her
sister in company with the girl sought
after came from Albany in a wagon driv.
en- by man whose name We did not
learn. They had been in Toledo that dav
and had started for Newport. Sheriff
lands started out after train time TO
overhaul them, and came upon them
camping in the edge of Newport. lie
took the girl in custody and took her to
hotel, bringing her up on the train next
morning, where she WAS met By her
mother and taken back to Albany. The
girl stated that she had been well treat
ed, and evidently did not realize the po-
sltion she was in. She was the daughter
OF poor parents living op farm near
Albany, and had been working in res
taurant at that place until she was
brought over here. No arrests were
made, the mother being satisfied TO get
her girl back.

THE PIONEER PIcNlc.- Albany men
who attended the pioneer picnic at
Brownsville are loud in their praises OF
the event, the biggest yet held. 1t was a
success in every particular; in none more
than in the addresses. The Times says
the talk of Hon. Binger Hermann was a
grand one. Hon. J. X. Weatheriord de-
livered the address yesterday in the in
tercst OF the sons and daughters of the
pioneers, ''and did it in manner that
would do honor too any man," says the
Times. An interesting feature Of the
celebration is the fact that the first born
girl and boy in the Northwest were pres
ent, towit: Mrs. Eliza Spalding Warner,
OF brownsville, born in 1887, and Mr.. O.
H. Walker, OF near this city, born in
1888. Another celebration will be held
next year. 1t was decided that any one
coming to Oregon before Sept. 1858 or
born before then should be considered a
pioneer.

Tom winder on the Willamette.

The Buffalo Express OF June Is con-
iains long illustrated article from the
pen of Tom Winder the long distance bi-
cyclist wLo was in Albany several weeks
ago. Ii contains an ingenius map of
Western Oregon, with corduroy road
near Grants Pass. an interview with

hari-workiug Indian, immense wheat
near Albany ami q hand OF welcome at
Portland. Among other pictures is that
of d. c. Mcfarland in a wheat field near
Albany, Or, and a general view OF Port
land with Hood in the rear. In his &C
count OF this trip through the valley he
gives the hop fields writeup, or rather
more particularly Oregon hop fields gen.
orally, incidentally noticing the Indian
as a hop picker. His account of the trip
from Albany to Salem is OF character
that would make il unsafe for him to
visit the capital city again. He says:
Albany, Or, was reached at about 8 p.
m. that day, and stopping a. the 1t.
Charles Hotel. had the pleasure of
meeting a large number of wheelmen.
Boomers are becoming fashionable here,
and women riders thus dressed, could be
seen on the streets almost any time. Al
bany is proud of its big bridge across the
Willamette. 1t is said to be the finest on
the coast, and cost $lo0, 200.

Collins Elkins, II. b. Sacry, +. +. Allen
and A. J. Hodges accompanied me quite
a distance on my way to Salem, the cap.
ital af the state. Like most state capt
tails it is little cne-horse town, and
was glad to get away for Portland thu
following morning-Sunday. The day
was a fine one, the roads the best has
had for weeks, and expected to reach
the city, only 90 miles from Salem, il
time for early lunch. But didn't. 0n'
of the set screws in the pedals lost out
and "slipped cog" broke my chain
and had to walk 23 miles to the city, no
getting in until p. III.

BACK FROM HAWAII. ii. Townsend,
OF Newburg, passed through Albany this
noon on his way home from a trip TO the
Hawaiian Island. lie was delighted
with the climate at Honolulu and pleased
with the business prospects. Every
thing is peaceful there now and gradual
ly inclining more and more into the
hands OF the U. $. and that is what the
majority there desire. 1t is American
in its tendencies. The English language
is taught and our money is the principal
circulating medium. The stores are
American mostly, and there are many
wealthy merchants. The hard times are
not felt there. The climate is very equal
and harvest time is Just according 10 the
sowing time, any time OF the year. Ban
annas are only % cents bunch, or
dozen Tor cents, ) pine apples 25 cents.
Some merchandise is higher than here.
Light suits, though. brought from Japan,
are very cheap. Mr. Townsend thinks
it is a grand place in which TO live and
enjoy life.

SALEN's BICYCLE ORDIxASCE.-Salem

to Center: on State from Comme rcial to
High; on Cour. from Commercial 10
Liberty, during May, June, July, August
and September. From the provisions OF
this Jaw ladies are to be exempted. This
is a daisy and displays the sense OF a
Salem City Council. Women have no
mere rights on bicycle than men. The
Capital City might we'll have patterned
after Albany's ordinance, the best bicy-
Gle ordinance in the state.
