lost mn Eye without Much Pain

iiost nh rye without Much Pain
Springfield (Mass.) Republican: A
Springfield oculist tells a curious story,
which illustrates how the total destruc-
ton OF n nerve sometimes saves much
pain In IN accident. A boy came into his
office one day and asked him 10 remove
some dust that he had got into his eyes.
The doctor looked at the organ. and was
startled to find that the eyeball was brok-
en- in and totally destroyed. The boy said
that he had been walking on the street,
and a wagon passed close to him. He felt
some dust get into his eye, he said, and
not being able to gel it out went to the
oculist. The dust did not hurt him, but he
couldn't see very well. The oculist made
a thorough examination OF the eye, and
inside the eyeball found the knot which
had come off the end Of n whip lash. IL
was found that the driver Of the wagon
had cracked a long w:lp, so That the knot
struck the boy In the eye, unfolding the
knot in the ball, where It broke Off. The
boy at the time felt no other sensation
than what a speck OF dust or a cinder
might have made.

A River Boat.

A River Boat.
Far several years our people have
been agitating the question of
river boat that would accommodate
the traffic of the river and prove a
paying investment to its owners
Several boats have been tried with
no successfully all drew too much
water.
Last spring Messrs. Randall &
Brown of Portland made a propo-
sltion to our people to buil1 and
operate boat on the Yaquina from
Elk City to Newport, making daily
trips and having Toledo as It's head
quarters. Ourspeople were to loan
them $3.50, to be repaid partly in
service and partly in money. A.
1t was too late to get ready for the
summers trade, and only $3.50 wa,
subscribed, the matter was post
poned till this fall.
Capt. ]. H. Randall arrived
Monday evening and meeting
was called at the hotel for the iol-
lowing evening. But few busi-
ness men were present.. The mat
ter was discussed at some length
and 1t was decided that Capt. Ran
dali should confer with the people
OF Newport, Yaquina, and Elk City
presenting a paper for subscrip-
tions. Here the matter will rest
until these places have been visited.
There has been need of light
draught boat on this river for years
and this is the most fitting time for
its building. The increase in rop-
ulation of the next five years,
brought about by the harbor i'm
provements, and the greater pop
ularity of our Resortscity each year
makes this the proper time to start
this enterprise.
The present proposed boat is TO
be 65xI6-4 feet when loaded and
is to draw but IS inches light and
be driven b. stern wheel. 1t has
been discussed rather generally by
our people and the majority seem
to think it rather small. A boat
1880 feet would better accommodate
the hay and the wood traffic as
we'll as the transportation of teams
and wagons from point 10 point,
and these three items would prove
large factor of the boat business.
However, the size of the boat i,
not the entire question and we
hope the people along the Yaquina
will join Messrs. Randall and
Brown in the building and operal-
ing of a stern-wheel boat on the
Yaquina river. Let us all push
what we can.
