TO DYKE the OLALLA.

Mr.. Hans Olson, who recently
bought the Brazelton and Perkins
places on Olalla slough, called upon
us last Saturday in relation to tie
dyking of Olalla slough. Mr.. Oh
son has been talking the matter up
and desires to get an interest worked
up among all the land owners on
the slough The idea IS TO put a
solid dyke right across the slough
from the high ground upon one side
to the high ground upon the other,
leaving gate i'll the middle of the
channel sufficiently wide enough for
,Scows and logs to pass through. 1t
would be much cheaper and far bet
ter for the owners Of tideland on
Olalla slough to go together and
build dyke as low down as posi-
bic. 1t would be great saving i'll
the amount Of dyke necessary to
build, and would also be a great
saving in land. Where individual
owners dyke their lands they are
compelled to build dyke along the
entire water front, and this loses
considerable valuable land. Flood
gates must also be put in at fire.
quent intervals, and the land must
be well drained to take off the cold
spring water next to the hills. With
one dyke near the mouth uf the
slough al this would i'c avoided.
1t is desired that the platter be
talked up, and i'll the course of a
couple or three weeks efforts will be
made to have meeting of all the
land owners on Olalla slough, and
see if something cann"t be done in
the matter. The legislature of 1895
gave the necessary authority for
such work. 1t provided as follows:
And the citizens of said Lincoln
county are hereby empowered to
construct dyke across Olalla slough
at such place as they may determine
for the purpose of reclaiming the
land contiguous to said Olalla
slough"

"The Corvallis & Eastern Rail

There is not a cent of Indebtedness

ANOTHER GUN ACCIDENT.
Ross Deyoe, of Elk City, Meets with
Serious Accident Yesterday.

Elk City added its list of gun ac-
cidents to the long list for this year.
Ross Deyoe and party of compan-
ions were up OH the head Of Bear
creek, about ten miles above Elk
City yesterday hunting. Ross was
on stand while the others were
up further OH the hill. AS it began
to get late he called to the others to
come, that it was time to go. He
had his rifle sitting with the stock
on a log with the muzzle pointing
upward, and as he started up the
rifle slipped off the log, and was
discharged as he grabbed fer it.
The rifle was a 3S calibre, and the
ball came very near ending the
boys life right there. 1t took eff

ward, and lodged in the flesh iust
back or under the shoulder. The
wounded boys cries soon brought
companions to his relief. Binding
up his wounds the best they could
they started for home, which was
ten miles away. The first two
miles the boy was compelled to
walk, and then they got a horse
and he rode the rest of the way to
Elk City, arriving there about 7
o'clock. DR.. Carter was absent
when the party arrived at Elk City
and message was sent down for
DR.. Darnell, who went up at once
to the boys assistance. When DR..
Darnell arrived the boy was natur-
ally quite weak from pain and the
loss Of blood, and was not strong
enough to permit the doctor to re-
move the ball. He dressed the boys
hurts temporarily, and he went up
again today when, assisted by DR..
Carter, they will endeavor to locate
and remove the ball.
The boy is about I8 years old,
and is the son Of Mr.. and Mrs. l..

Doubtless none of the modern brig

commodious quarters as this redoubt-
able freebooter, but they still rely upon
withdrawal to inaccessible hooks of the

In the present lawless state of the oc-
cupied province, young men in whose

bers. There isn't much else that they
can do. The practice of waging war by
''irregulars," too, is reacting against
Greece, which permitted it. These UNI

of reckless character, who from the

RRIGANDAGE IN GREECE,
One Of the Depl rabbi Results Of
the Turkish War.
Increase of Lawlcssncss on the
FrOntier-Rici,M Merchants Held
for Ransom by
Bandits.
ICopSright, ISo7.l

One of the most lamentable conse-
quences of the disastrous appeal to
arms recently made by Greece is the
sudden outcropping of lawlessness and
brigandage in the north, due to the
unsettled condition there. 1t is re-
ported from Athens that several rich
merchants from Thessulian towns, who
fled to the mountains to escape the
Turks, are held for ransom by bandits.
If they had stuck to their shops and
trusted to the moderation of the Turks
they would have been all right, but they
could hardly escape being ratified"
when the entire province was stamped
ed by panic fright.
The increase of lawlessness is pre-
cisely what might have been predicted
by one knowing the habits of the peo-
pie. Brigandage is in the blood along
the frontier, and it has never been al
together suppressed. 1t is true that in
Greece, as in Italy, there have been few
recent attacks upon travellers. 1t was
in 1870 that brigands made daring
raid upon tourists about six miles from
Athens as the crow flies, and finally
murdered an italian and three Englisl-
men because of some. difficulty about
the ransom. Nothing of consequence
has been attempted against travellers
since. Tourists usually go in parties
and armed. They are invariably accom-
panied by horse-boys and generally by
an armed dragoman, SO that small
band of road agents might hesitate
about attacking them. A more power
full incentive to letting travellers alone,
however, is the fact that raid upon
foreigners always causes a sensation
and leads to more strenuous attempts
to break up the business. 1t is safer
in Thessaly, as in Sicily, to prey upon
mattress, about whose misfortunes the
outside world cares little.
A consul of the United States once
got into serious difficulty by reporting

cases Of Sicilian brigandage to our
state department. The account was
published IN the consular reports, and
there was trouble at once The coasuI
had to leave Sicily, but brigandage
stayed. 1t is there yet, as it is and al
ways has been in Tlessaly.
The proximity of Thessaly to the
border is one reason why bandits have
continued to thrive there, while in the
Peloponnesus they have ceased opera
tons entirely. 1t is SO easy to slip
across the frontier and return laden
with booty from town on the other
side, and perhaps prisoner or two,
that both Turks and Greeks have con-
tinued the practice; and this is one rea-
son for the bitterness displayed by the
Turkish Albanians against their blood
brethren the Greek Albanians in the
recent war.
Medieval ways of looking at things
still prevail in Greece. Men often carry
guns when they go abroad, in the
wilder parts. The courier with whom

volver instead, but he said he was
afraid to handle one, though he had

are placed for defense against attack,
not for convenience, exactly as they
were 1000 years ago. One of the
largest villages in southern Greece

the great convent of the Megaspelaeon,
which is perched 1900 feet above the
valley, built into cave in the face of
sheer cliff. This strong point was
never captured by the Turks in 1s24-27.
The monks tucked their long gowns in
to their boots, and with consecrated
cannon sent Ibrahim Pasha's troops
flying down the valley. The monastery
of Meteora, in Thessaly, is holding out
now III similar fashion against the
Turkish invasion of 1897, rolling rocks
down on them in the good old-fashioned
way. Prior Kallistratos Papageorgios
of the Megaspelaeon told me, while he
showed the tirmans of many a dead
and gone sultan, that the monks were
really better Off under Turkish rule;
but blood is thicker than water.
