Under the new management of G. s.

Sad Case Of Drowning.

Alice Pearl Shaw, the 7-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. l.. A. Shaw
of Portland, was drowned in the west
fork Of Hood river, about half mile
below Sandy Flat, last Saturday after
noon The mother and child were
crossing sheep bridge at the time Of
the accident, and it is thought that
Mrs. Shaw became dizzy from watch
ing the swift running water, for she
was seen to fall headfirst into the
stream and drag her little girl with
her. The river at this point narrows
TO 10 or II feet and Is dangerously swift
and deep. The little girl struck on "A
rock as she fell into the water aud
never came to the surface until taken
out of the water 400 yards below. The
mother floated IN the water aud was
rescued few minutes before her child.
For week or more there had been
camped at Maple Dell Mr.. and Mrs.
Shaw and daughter Alice, and Walter
Holt and wife of Portland and Walter
MeGuire and family Of Hood River. Sat
uriay, the party picnicked at the sheep
bridge Just below Sandy Flat. About
$3.50 In the afternoon, the party except
ing Mrs. Shaw and daughter, went so
or 100 yards up the west bank of the
stream. The woman and girl sat on
the bridge playing with sticks in the
water, They were seen to get up and
cross to the right side, and when with
in step of the bank, Mrs. Shaw, pull
ing the little girl with her, fell head
long into the swift waters. The alarm
was given and everyone rushed TO the
assistance of the drowning woman and
child. Walter McGuire was the first
to reach the bridge, and threw Mrs.
Shaw chunk of wood he tore from an
old log on the bank. She clung to the
stick Of wood, but the swift current
prevented Mcclure from pulling her TO
shore. ClingiDg to the price of wood,
Mrs. Shaw fioated in midstream out of
reach Of those on the bank. None OF
the rescuers were good swimmers, and
a struggle with the drowning woman
in the rapids would have meant death
to any one. Some sheep-herders near
by came up quickly and aided in the
rescue, one ofthem pulling Mrs. Shaw
out of the shallow water. She had
gone over three-foot fall, but escaped
with only slight bruises. Shortly after
being taken from the water she faint
ed The little girl never came to the
surface after falling in, until pulled out
of the shalloW water by a sheep-herder
about so yards below where her mother
was rescued. She had been IN the
water for about 400 yards, and every
effort was made to resuscitate her but
In vain.
Charles Castner brought Mr. and
Mrs, Shaw and the body Of their little
girl into town that night, and the be-
reaved parents left the next morning
for Portland.

TUNNEL IN THE SIERRAS.
survey Lately Completed for Rail-
way Bore i'm the Mountains Over
Five Miles Long.

The surveyors and engineers of the
Southern Pacific railroad lately COM
pleted the survey for the new tunnel
through the Sierras. The tunnel is to
be five miles and 800 feet in length.
Not counting our subway, it will be
the longest tunnel yet excavated in
this country, surprising the Hoosac
tunnel in Massachusetts, which is four
and three-quarter miles long. The ad-
vantages of the tunnel will be chiefly
that it will shorten the route through
the mountains, will eliminate about
1000 feet of grade and will reduce the
length of the snow sheds 90 miles; in
other words the aggregate length of
the snow sheds required to protect the
track in winter will be reduced from
40 to 12 miles.
Conspicuous as the tunnel will be
among the mountains it will be in
ferior in length to all the great Alpine
tunnels, says the New York Sun. The
Simplon tunnel now building will be
1917 miles long, the longest tunnel in
the world. The Arlberg tunnel, which
joins the Austrian with the Swiss rail.
roads, is six and half miles long. Mont
Cents, which connects Italy with
France, is seven and a quarter, and St.
Gothard, which unites the Italian with
the Swiss and German railroads is
nine and quarter miles long.
AS our work on the subway has dem
onstrated to all New Workers, tun-
nelling has been reduced 20 a science,
for the experience gained in the ear
lier works has resulted in better meth
DDS and greatly improved machinery
so that much tine and money are now
saved. 1t took IL years to dig HE Mont
Gents tunnel, nine years and three
months the St. Gothard, six years and
half for the Arlberg and the Sim
plon tunnel it is expected will be fin
ished in much shorter time, in pro-
portion to its length, than any of the
others.

Tree Struck br lightning.

F. p. Friday and family, while
camped at their place seven miles from
town on the East Side, had an expe
rience during the thunder storm last
Wednesday night which they don't
care to go through again. The thun-
der storm was particularly severe du-
ring the hours of 10 and II, and the
frequent flashes of lightning lighted
the woods brighter than day. At one
time there was an awful crash Of thun-
der, and Mr.. Friday saw the lightning
strike lB0-foot fir tree within 40 feet
of the tent. The lightning bolt de-
scended the tree IN a spiral path, peal
ing the bark foot or more in width,
and breaking off many of the limbs.
The noise at this time was something
awful. Mr.. Friday says it sounded
like the exploding of a thousand bombs,
and with the lurid lightning the whole
scene was as near hell as he can i'm
agine. The campers thought they had
had enough outing after that, and
broke camp for home the next morning
Accompanying Mr., Friday and FAM
lily were Mrs. ]. Often and Mrs. w. f.
Sherman of Salem, mother and sister
to Mrs. Friday. Mrs. Often suffered a
partial paralysis of her left side for two
hours after the electrical shock, A re-
markable thing about it all was the
fact that the two children with the
party, Laberta Friday and Florence
Brosius, slept soundly through the
whole storm.

Cat Case In supreme Court.

The famous controversy growing
out of the ownership of Sioux Falls
cat has now reached the state supreme
court, and bids fair to attract more
attention than the celebrated Iowa
calf case. Some months ago the Fin
stad and Lewis families, who were
neighbors quarreled over the cat,
which belonged to Miss Ida Fnstad.
1t appears that the animal fell into the
habit of going to the home of Mrs.
Lewis. One day Miss Finstad went to
the home of Mrs. Lewis to get the cat.
Mrs. Lewis, it was alleged, not only re-
fused to surrender the animal, but
slapped Miss Finstad. The arrest of
Mrs. Lewis followed upon the charge
of assault, and she was found guilty.
Then she had Miss Finstad arrested
for the alleged theft of the cat. Miss
Finstad's trial resulted in her acquit-
tai. States Attorney Scott prosecuted
the case against Miss Finstad. He has
1ust procured a writ of error from the
state supreme court, and at the Octo-
ber term the cat case will be solemnly
reviewed by the members of that court.

TRUE SNAKE STORY.
Twenty-Six Big Reptiles Killed In
the Midst Of Winter.
Farmer Hadss1l Discovers She Gauss
of Trouble with q spring ana
InAaGunates a War Of An
nAhiEatiOn.

According to the Hartford Comm
correspondent of the New York Sun,
Deacon Joseph Pepper, of the Meth
odist church of West Avon, is truth
full and teetotaler, and doesn't see
snakes where no snakes are. Through
him a remarkable tale of snakes has
been made public.
Silas Daniels is a member of Dea-
con Peppers church, and he was an
eyewitness of part of the occurrence
and was in at the death. 1t was from
him that Deacon Pepper learned the
particulars.
On the farm of Adelbert Hadsell, q
neighbor Of Daniels, is fine spring
that never freezes over, even in the
coldest weather. Hadsell carries the
water from the spring through a
pipe to the barn for watering bis
live stock.
Recently the cattle refused to drink
the water, and Hadsell noticed few
days ago that the water, which il
usually clear and pure, had become
slightly muddy. He went to the
spring to investigate.
He saw nothing unusual about the
spring at first, except that the wa
ter was muddy, as though some an
imal had worked up the mud at the
bottom. Mr.. Hadsell returned to the
barn for a pitchfork, and when he
got back TO the spring he made an in
vestigation.
He jabbed the pitchfork about in
the water without striking anything
but the mud at the bottom. While
he was thus engaged he noticed that
the bank at one side of the spring
seemed to be in motion.
He stuck the fork into this place
and pried up a clod of the frozen
earth, leaving hole about large
