FoRTusAlELY LATE - Langley, the
! track-w alker on The Southern Pacific
railroad from this point to Walker e
station, has had several close calls and
exciting incidents, but one stormy night
about a week ago he met with an aeci-
dent on the long trestie near Judkips'
point that was little closer aud came
| nearer proving disastrous ibaa any of
| the others. He had started back on the
| last hall of his run and was, when he
had reached this point. running rather
slow, as the rails were slippery and a
heavy wind was blowing. When about
80 feet out on the tTestle the wind blew
the hind wheel Of his yelocipsde of the
track, on the outside OF the rail, thus
throwing him OFF the trestle backwards,
with the machine TO follow. As he fell
he grabbed the rail with one hand and
nj the came time the handle OF the ma
chine caught one OF his feet, thus leav-
ing hin partly across one rail and almost
unable to help himself, with hls red
light out and the train due in few
moments BY almost superhuman effort
| he managed 10 extricaie himself after q

was late that night or he might not have

A PRETTY DEER SToRY.-From the
hills and dales of the beautiful Pleasant
Hill section Of country comes q deer
story that, were il not for the undoubted
verecity OF those who have told it,
would be considered rather ''fishy." On
| the bills adjacent TO that section OF
country the hounds occasionally get On
the trail OF deer, and their deep bayipg
is heard from the distance while some
times across little vale Us can be seen the
race for life or death en- the mountain
sides. Very rarely, however, do the
deer, even when hard pressed, venture
into the settled part Of The country. J N
| Otto, who lives in that part Of the coun-
ty, one day last week heard the hounds
chasing deer over on the hills from his
place. A little while afterward he
heard a racket in his wood shed and the
instant later the deer came leaping into
tis kitchen, frightened, and trembling
from head to foot. To effect its capture
was OF course an easy matter, and it was
done Immediately.
| FIN wilkins, president Of the board oI
trade, yesterday received letter from
Major John A Post, OF the United States
engineer corps, stating that he will come
up to this city today and will be me-
here by the snag boat Corvallis, and will
proceed down the river to make a per-
soDal examination OF the same. HI
makes the examination personally ant
in careful manner SO he may know th,
exact needs of the riyer.-Eugene Reg
lister. One river pilot knows NOR
in a d.y about what is wanted than Pos
and his whole corps could learn in yea
in small boat. There has been to-
much OF this monkey business.
