The congregational church building

Tor prompt action on the part of the

destroyed. The accident occurred at
ter the weekly prayer-meeting. Some
of the congregation had left the
church, others We're in the entry or on
the door step, and a few were still in
the church, when Il lamp, in the hands
of Frank w. Libby, exploded setting
fires in several places. and burning Mr..
Libby's face quite severely. The
flames spread very rapidly ana, for
few minutes ii seemed as though the
church must go. Nearly all the cush-
ions on the south side We're destroyed.
ana the carpet burned in several places
and otherwise injured; two pews We're
burned so badly as to be unfit for oc-
cupancy. Mr.. Libby's mustache was
so much injured that he was Obliged
to sacrifice what remained of it; a por-
ton of his eyebrows is also missing.

swiftly running water that reached
over the top of one end of the car The
passengers, among whom were several
women and children, were instantly
overwhelmed with the flood. One end
of the car was near the bank, and the
water hardly covered the platform. If
a panic had not prevailed, all the pas
sengers might have easily escaped.
Harry Edge was in the car, and he
proved to be the only man who retained
his presence of mind. He could have
jumped from the platform to the shore,
but he sought to rescue others. Rushing
back into the water, he dragged women
and children along the aisle to the rear
platform and pitched them out on the
bank 1t was afterward remembered
that a dozen white men stood out on
the bank wringing their hands in hope
less terror. Several women scrambled
to window and threw themselves into
the stream. The Indian saw no more
people in the car, and he plunged into
the water, hoping TO save those who
were fast floating away. He caught
and dragged two girls to a drift, seized
another as she was sinking and carried
her ashore.
BY this time the passengers in the
car that had escaped being wrecked
had gathered on the shore, and though
there were two young girls yet in peril
not a man volunteered TO swim with
Edge to their rescue. Though his teeth
were chattering and his muscles ached
with cold, he instantly returned to the
drift. One of the girls, yielding to ia
tigue and terror, swooned and slid into
the water at the moment when her
rescuer was in reach Of her. To add to
the horror Of the situation the drift
began to break to pieces. The Indian
would have been compelled to have
abandoned one of the girls if a brave
young man by the name of Harvey
from Franklin, H., had not swum to
strong, and he carried the apparently
lifeless girl ashore. The Indian easily
saved the other Long afterWard the
Caddo chief learned that this perilous
adventure ended well for one Of the
heroes. He met Mr.. Harvey in Wash |
ington city, aud he was pleased to find |
that he held an important position and |
was rather surprised TO learn that his |
good fortune commenced with his mar
riage to the girl whose life he had |
saved from the cold waters OF Bear |
creek, in the Indian Territory
Harry Edge next had the opportunity |
10 show that he is Il man of more than
ordinary courage when he drew Miss
Leona Dare from under the paws Of !
two ferocious African lions in the
streets Of Vernon, Tex The daring
feat was witnessed by 1000 or 5000
people. Texas rangers. armed to the
teeth; several policemen, hundreds Of
cowboys and many old Indian
lighters saw the affair over their shoul-
lers, while a dozen shoWmen. para
y2ed with terror, were climbing upon

THE RASCAL THREW UP MS ARMS.
There never lived a man on the border
who was quicker with his weapons
than this active Indian. Before the bad
man realized what had happened Har-
ry Edge had sent n bullet through his
wrist and his gun was on the ground.
When he stopped over. the Indian
broke his other wrist with a bullet.
The enraged rascal threw up his arms
and both hands, limp and useless.

sprang into the air aud landed with

ED. .Calkins Writes of the Inland Empire

Hood River, September s, 1902. Ed
itor Glacier: The country around Day
ton is rolling prairie and produces big
crops. All the roads run along the
streams or canyons which are numer-
GUS, reaching back to the foothills Of
the Blue mountains. Along the creeks
is some timber and most OF the ranch
ers have their buildings in the canyons
on account of water and to be protected
from the wind. Fifteen miles east is a
high plateau of rich farming land. To
the southeast is timber and fine view
of the foothills OF the mountains. To
the northeast is the wild scenery of the
Tucannon river which surpasses the
Deschutes in roughness. AS to how the
name originated is in dispute. Some
claim the Hudson Bay company lost
two cannon when they were bringing
them through exploring. The govern
ment road crosses near this point. To
the north you can see the wheat fields

the usual business was transacted a
very interesting programme was rem

quilted themselves very creditably. The
principal idea of the evening was that a
Christian man could not vote any other
ticket except the prohibition and be
consistent with his profession.

Meets with Hearty Approval.

The up-to-date library proposition
which is before Hood River people is
meeting with hearty approval. 1t was
to be expected, for there are many peo-
pie in Hood River who can appreciate
good literature. 1t is only one more
proof of the intellectually of the peo
pie of Hood River and of the valley.
But few so far have refused to become
members. Though only small per
cent Of the people have been seen as
yet by the committee in charge, the
library is practically assured. The fol-
lowing list of books, partially prepared
by the committee and completed by
the librarian of the Portland Library,
