hundred and eight earths could be

The disk. 10 cover the surface would
require many thousands. To fill the

ball two feet in diameter and the earth
by good-sized grain of shot. Let the
sun be followed out, then place The
earth at its centere, and let the moon
revolve about II at its real distance Of

TWO hundred thousand miles of space

A Sad Drowning.

Mr.. James Beard was drowned in a
slough of the Willamette river, five
miles north of Harrisburg, Wednesday
evening. The circumstances, as re.
ported are, that in company with Lee
Ingram he crossed this slough in the
morning en- route to shear sheen near
the foothills of the Coast range of
mountains, and were delayed in re.
turning to cross this slough until about
~ O'Clock In the evening. In the
attempt at crossing they missed the
route of safe driving and got into
swimming water The wagon was
uncoupled, the wagon bed turned over
aud they were throwl out. Mr.. Beard
seems to have gained footing and
assisted Ingram to clear himself. In.
grams coat sleeve had caught in some
portion of the wagon bed and had to
be torn loose. AT this juncture, In-
gram, being an expert swimmer, went
to rescue his team, with the under
standing that Beard should remain
quiet until he should return, as he
(Beard) could not swim. Ingram
swan quite distance down the stream
but concluded the situation too danger
Gus for further pursuit and made a
landing, He Immediately went to
Boards assistance but when he came |
to sight he observed him floating with
the current. He called to him to come
ashore, but without avail, he sank |
from sight to rise no more. The body
has not been recovered at this writing.
The horses landed safely on a bar
without injury. This ford has the
reputation of being a very dangerous
one, and this sad and unfortunate
affair will no doubt serve as a warning
o any that might anticipate the reck-
ess attempt of making its crossing in
he night time. Review.

By a telegram from the o. r. & N,
Co., it is announced that the steamer
GYPSY Will be retired from the up
river service after another trip, or two
trips at most. This intelligence Is q
cause Of regret to Harrisburg. The
accommodating service Of the Gypsy has
been truly appreciated by our shippers
and especially do they express them
selves as being delighted with the
courteous and gentlemanly manner of
Captain Gordon, his officers and crews
at all times since the advent of the
Gypsey on the upper river and 1t is the
general hope Of all interested that
when the conditions of traffic will
justify that we may hear the ever
welcome whistles Of The plucky little
Gypsy again. 81 Harrisburg Review,

The Fisheries Troubles.

Adjutant-General B. B. Tuttle was
seen by a reporter in reference to the
troubles on the Columbia river between
the striking fishermen and the non.
union men, and was asked whether or
nor the militia would be required to
quell the disturbance existing. He
stated that an officer was now on the
lower river investigating the matter,
and that he had telegraphed that no
immediate necessity existed for calling
out the militia. General Tuttle said
that Governor Lord would not hesitate
an instant to send the troops if they
were needed, and that, if they were
sent, they would go for work and busi-
hess and would not be encountered
with blank cartridges, that the send
ing of the national guard to the section
would, of course, involve heavy ex-
pense, as they would necessarily have
to have couple of steamers to bring
them supplies, at all times, and to
assist them in patrolling the river. IT
may be that trouble will be avoided.
