w, A. Campben Almost Drowned.

About u'clock last Tuesday evening
w. A. Campbell, the well known life in
eurance man, and VINO has many friends
in The Dalee, had an experience in
Rock Creek that he will not soon for
get, says the Heppner Times, and it
wasn't altogether funny either. He
had come from Condor and was on his
way to Heppner, crossing Rock creek at
the old French ranch when that stream
was on a tear. It is the most treacher-
our stream in Gillian county, but Mr..
Campbell would have made it across all
right had his team not baked right in
the middle of it. The creek was almost
bank full, and when the water came
rushing against them the horses reared
and broke the tongue. This turned the
buck board over and horses, buggy and
all swept down the swift current, Mr..
Campbell being under the water himself
good share of the time, barely escap-
ing with his life in several instances.
Finally he jumped into the water and
scram mbled to the shore.
The horses, after being washed down
d VI h nilO AudlIy AISeO
selves from the buggy and got ashore.
The vehicle kept on swimming but
lodged against big rock about mile
below the crossing. Messrs. H. H. Neal
and Rufo Blaze, besides a lot OF sheep
shearers, were soon on the scene and the
horses, buggy and driver were brought
face to face again. The tongue was
spliced with ropes and straps and Mr..
Campbell continued his journey Hepp-
nerwards, arriving here safely last
night, considerably mangled but still
prepared to do cusinees. Que of his
yalises, containing camera and a lot OF
valuable notes and checks. had jumped
overheard, and was found mile below
in drift with considerable damage
done to the contents.

been thrown on the track by blast
which had been set off by workmen who
are engaged in improving the road. The
result was that the engine was thrown
off the track but otherwise no damage
was done. The wrecking train left for
the scene of the accident and will have
the track clear this evening.

About two weeks ago August Langren
lost very valuable shepherd dog which
was much thought of by him. During
the night some one approached his resi-
dence at Endersby and poisoned the
dog, after which they purloined rife
from his house. Mr.. Langren is con-
.fdent that Tie parties who did the work
live--atno great distance from his resi-
dence. He is quite angry over the
matter and should the person be found
who is guilty of such piece of dastardly
work it will surely go hard with him.

OREGON.
Development Since Pioneer Days-Her
Future, One of Greatness.

Future, One of Greatness
The death of Donald Mckay, the
famous Indian scout, brings vividly 10
mind the hardships and disadvantag ges
of the early settlers of Oregon. He was
brother to DR.. w. G. Mckay who died
| in 1892. DIR. Mckay was well known by
all pioneers in The Dalles, having lived
son of Thomas Mckay. who came to
Oregon in 1911 with the Aetor 'expedi-
ton. His mother was Chinook Indian
woman far above the average. Such
men as these, enduring the hardships
and privations OF early pioneer daye,
have lived to see Oregon one of the
finest states of the union.
The present generation have no con-
ception of what difficulties were en-
countered by the early settlers. Today
we live in the world, with all the
advantages of modern times. Not many
years ago Oregon was barely known,
while today she is one of the foremost
in war or peace, agriculture, mining,
farming and in fact nearly all Industries
tnaJ are OF the present DAY.
The coat of arms of Oregon displays
an emigrant wagon, deer and an
expanse of ocean bearing on its breast
steamer. Below are discovered sheaf
of wheat, a plough, rake and pick.
The crest is the American eagle with
the motto: "She flies with her own
WINGS" That tells the whole story, and
it needs no further explanation.
Brave settlers advancing into this
strange territory of which the poet
wrote "Where rolls the Oregon and
hears no sound save it's own dashings," !"
have made it one that the United States
may we'll be proud of, with handsome
public buildings, prosperous cities,
schools, colleges and universities. Her
volunteers are of the braveet and most
gallant that entered the army to uphold
the nation, and have brought much
credit to their state. The "Oregon,'
the greatest battleship afloat has glofi-
ously upheld the dignity of the state
from which she derives her name
/ Oregon has advanced wonderfully in
the past fifty years. To realize this we
must remember that in 1S4S Daniel
Webster, who was opposed to expansion.
said that Oregon was so far off that it
never could be governed by the United
States, and that delegate to congress
could not reach Washington until year
after the expiration of his term. Note
i the change today. We can reach our
capital within week and should COM
munieation be wanted 1t can be had
within a few minutes.
Oregon is larger than the whole oi
New England, and has a seacoast 33C
miles long. Its mountains and scenery
are sublime,-an artists dream. Hel
forests are almost incalculabIe, while hel
valleys are astonishingly fertile. The
grand Columbia running along hel
border has "a navigable length of 120(
miles. The metropolis of the state il
Portland, destined to be great city
1t is situated on the beautiful William
cite, of which the poet, Sam Simpson
says:
From the Cascades frozen gorges,
4 Leaping like a child at play,
Winding, widening through the valley,
| Bright Willamette glides away;
Onward ever,
Lovely river, t.Gtt
Softly calling to the sea;

THE LECTURE ON COOKING.

There were about so ladies who were
delightfully."- entertained, as we'll as in
~structed, at the free lecture on the art
of cooking, as illustrated by Professor
and Mrs. c. F. Pau, in the Presbyterian
parlors on Friday afternoon. Although
the attendance was surprisingly small. it
could be accounted for by the fact that
several social functions were on the car
pet, to say nothing of the exacting duties
of those who are busy preparing for the
soldiers reception. Professor Pau Ger
talnly exhibited wonderful adeptness in
his chosen profession, and his audience
was constrained to agree with him when
he SAID, You see, it is just as easy"-
that, is when you know the proper Way.
An enticing little programme was car
ried out, and the enjoyment of the occa-
sion was enhanced by the genial manner
of Professor Pfau, who has, to a marked
degree, the happy faculty Of imparting
his knowledge. He is ably assisted in
his work by Mrs. Pfau. At the Woman's
club, on Wednesday. when the proposed
cooking school was being discussed. one
OF the members stated that she had taken
lessons from Professor Pau some wears
ago, and she could say that he was sim
ply splendid" Another free introduce
tory lecture is being talked of for next
week, and will be announced later.

MRS. CHRISTIANS STORY
She Says WaSwOrth Assaulted Her

William Wasworth was arrested by
Officer Ducher this afternoon on the
charge of attempted rape. The charge

Mrs. Christian was too i'll from the

proposal to her. She ordered him to
leave the house, and he assaulted her.

who fastened to her assistance. Then
Wasworth desisted. Later an officer
was sent for and Wasworth was ar
rested.
Wasworth would make no statement
regarding the affair, further than that he
had know Mrs. Christian for some time
and his relations with her were such that
she could not take offense at his action.
His story concerning her was not at all
complimentary.
Mrs. Christian was assaulted about six
weeks ago by William Zagar, an ad-
mirer, who also gave her a fearful beat
