Democracy of the state but To all
members of the last General Assem-.
blv. The unseaUng of Mr.. Woodland
would have been a reflection upon the
fusion Legislature which investigated
the contests for members of that body
in eyry county in Mr.. Woodlands dis
irict. and seated the Democratic con-
testants in every instance except one.
n Congress had reversed the decis-
ion Of the Legislature, its action would
have been SO transparent a piece OF
partisanship that it would have been
denounced everywhere.
Mr.. Woodland represents not only his
district, but the whole State as well,
with ability and fidelity. As the old
est Democratic member of Congress,
he has been appealed to by Democrats
in the six districts represented by Re
pnblicans and Populists to render SER
vice of many kinds, and he has been
ever ready to do SO. If the exigency
of party had required his expulsion,
his departure from Washington at this
time would have been a source of re-
greet to the whole State.
As a vindication of the charge made
against him and his party, the decis-
ion is also welcome. Mr.. Woodland is
gentleman Of the highest character,
and while no partisan decision could
affect inzsthe least his high standing,
it must be pleasant to him to have
had this vindication at the hands of
his political opponents.

A TEN-MINUTE RESCUE.

Cape Disappointment, June 20, 1896.
Editor Astorian;-
Dear Sir; While on a drift at 1915
this afternoon near Peacock Spit, for
the Royal Chinook, was five minutes
late in picking up, and caught an un-
expected breaker. which completely
turned the boat over, submerging both
myself and partner. Carl Erixon. l
managed to gain hold OF the upturned
boat but was repeatedly washed Off
among booms, net, and oars but sue
ceeded in getting back to the boat
without very much exhaustion, while
Carl was driven about fifty feet away
from the boat and tangled in the net
without anything to buoy him save a
few corks and was becoming exhausted
from being repeatedly washed under.
Thus while struggling with the ele-
ments a shout was heard, Hang to it
boys, We will save you" Upon looking
around, and to my happy surprise, saw
the white life boat close at hand,
manned by a brave, noble-hearted
crew, Carl was first eXtricated from
the net, in which he was hopelessly
tangled for self-deliverence, and my
rescue soon followed. 1t was not more
than ten minutes from the time we
swamped until we We're secure on the
life boat. The tide was flooding and
in a short time all was smooth water,
driving up the north channel, where
the noble boys picked up all our drift
ing gear, net and boat, and safely land
ed everything of our outfit that was
afloat beside performing the act of
good Samaritan" took us in, stripped
our wet clothing or put on dry flannels
and 49, us.
Too much cannot be said in commen-
dation Of this life saving crew, for
more proficient set of men could not
be mustered together They were lay
ing at anchor Just inside Of the break
ers, waiting for some work to do, and
saw my boat swamp. Hence our early
deliveiance. Inasmuch as the names
Of this life saving crew may not be
generally known, and While thanking
both captain and crew most cordially
for Il eir kindly treatment I desire to
annex their names to notice:
