Since the recent rains, tha watar h as
risen several feet ia the Long Tom, aHd
vigorous operations have been in pro-
gress, blasting out of rocks, bars and
8 tumps being the chief work done. 1t is
said that whenever the water reached
the proper depth, the channel will be in
shape so that boats can come up as far
as this point. It is reported that Cap
tain Smith will be in command of the
first craft brought up,
A Monroe correspondent speaking of
crop conditions in that vicinity, says:
Rains have almost completely stopped
all autumn seeding, and in this section
the acreage of fall-sown grain is far short
of the average. Very little cheat, rye
grass or other hay has been sown. Cat
tie and sheep are in prime con dition on
the range, while all other kinds OF stock
are in good condition on the home pas
lures.
Handles or axes. picks and sledges,
manufactured from Oregon oak grubs,
are on sale at several places in Portland,
says the Oregonian, and are said to be
fully equal to hickory handles, provided
the wood is properally seasoned before
being manufactured. There are thous-
ands of acres of the finest wheat land in
the Willamette valley covered with oak
grubs, most of which have grown up
since the country was settled by whites.
These grubs would furnish material for
all the ak, pick, sledge and other han
dies used on theecoast, and with the prop
er machinery for turning such handles,
a profitable industry might be carried on
here.
In the columns of this paper during
July was recorded the details of the acci-
dent to Mr.. Miles Starr, of Monroe. |
While moving hay with derrick in a
large barn he found it necessary to climb |
up near the roof to untangle the ropes on |
the carriage track of the derrick. While |
performing this duty he had the misfor- |
tune to lose his hold and fall to the floor
below, q distance of thirty feet. His
principal injury sustained in the fall was
a fracture of the hip: though kept to his
bed for time he was soon up and 1t was
thought his trouble was over. But the
fractured joint failed to properly knit and |
as result, Mr.. Starr has been confined
to his bed in this city for over a month.
For seven weeks he has been compelled
to lie with an eight pound weight sus-
pended over pulley to his injured limb
With few more DAYS of this painful tor
ture, the attending physician believes
that the joint will resume its proper po-
sition and Mr.. Starr be relieved of his
torturing treatment. /
