The Dornbeckers had arranged
with Spaulding Bros. to have raft
of hardwood logs taken down the
river with the ]atter's drive, bat the
Spauldiug drive has passed and
the D 'rnbecker logs repose in the
placid waters of Bonneville slough.
The Spaulding crew regarded it as
too much of a job to float the logs
to the main stream owing to the
low stage of water in the slough,
and it is expected that the Dorm.
beckers will send up crew of their
own to drive their logs.
Zuls. the fve-year-old daughter
of D. Hiestand met with an acci-
dent Sunday evening in which her

The child in some manner fell into
the ditch with her bicycle, and,
when she was rescued it was found
that her leg had been broken as
stated. DR.. Cathev was called to
attend the little sufferer.
Cucumbers 22 inches long and
two and a half inches in diameter
will be among the samples displayed
at the state fair in the OAC exhibit.
They were grown at the college
under the direction OF Prof. Coote.
They would have attained larger
size if allowed to remain on the
vines, but had to be picked before
attaining full growth SO they could
be gotten in the tubes in which
they are preserved for Fexhibit. A
part of the colleges exhibit at the
fair last year was sent to Japan for
exhibition.
