Perhaps the most hazardous features
in the everyday life Of the pilot occur
when the men are climbing from the

Last winter several Of the pilots were
injured while climbing up the Icy

from the rope and went into the Icy
waters of Delaware bay three times.

skiffY
Eight or more quickly stepped for
"ard. That was their mute but glori
GUS response.
Burton sat in the bow Of the boa,
giving the orders, the four seameu
pulled at the oars, while the sixth mar
had charge of the steering gear.
The violence Of the ocean had moi
abated, and the skiff was tossed to
ana FRO like chip on the crest of the
mighty waves. Several times Burton
ana his colleagues were treated to ar
undesired ocean bath. but they con.
tinued on their way, oblivious of per
sonal peril, with only one thought, ant
that one, Can we reach those two meI

Once the skiff was almost overturn
ed, but the GOODNESS of Burton and the
obedience OF the men prevented that
calamity. Long years Of experience il
these waters proved useful, for they
reached the wreck without once
grounding on the rocks and shoals thai
abound around the harbor Of refuge
Just before the break of day the goa
was reached. The mate and the sailor
who still chung to the rigging, were
rescued and conveyed to the pilot boat
Philadelphia, where they were given
warm food and dry clothing.
Some years ago q Delaware pilot,
who was instructed to take a vessel
out that-was sailing for Genoa, noticed
before he had gone many miles down
the bay that the captain was acting
queerly. He did not pay much atten.
ton to this at first, thinking that the
captain during his shore leave had
been INDUCING overmuch in barley.
corn; but the antics of the skipper be,
came so strange that the pilot was
forced to observe them.
All hands were below, some of them
sleeping and others preparing a meal
for the evening. Just before the ship
reached the breakwater the captain
savagely commanded the pilot to turn
the course Of the vessel and go back to
Philadelphia. He Indignantly refused
to do so. Then the captain pulled out
a big stiletto and said that II he was
not instantly obeyed he would plunge
1t into the heart of the pilot.
1t was q critical moment. The pilot
saw that he had to deal with an insane
man. He knew that If he betrayed the
slightest weakness his life would be
the forfeit; but he had a heart that
never quailed and nerve that was
superb.
Turning to the captain he said: you
are the master of this vessel, and of
course II you give the word it will
have to be returned to Philadelphia
But l would like to know where we
are at present, and would ask you to
go below and get me my marine
glasses, which are on the table in your
cabin"
The captain obeyed with surprising
alacrity. He went below, and as soon
as he did 50 the pilot. who had fol-

shrug his shoulders In dissent and say
that these things form merely the in.
cidents Of everyday life.
This Is the story Of how q brave pilot
and i've fearless seamen rescued two
men from what seemed to be certain
death.
At the time Of the fierce gale and
great tidal wave of Sept. 16, 1902, the
schooner Hattie A. Morris, having on
board seven men, was sailing In the
direction Of Lewes, Del. The captain
found that he could not make port be-
fore dark and knew that II he remained
ON the open sea boat and crew would
be lost. The wind was bowling at the
rate Of forty mikes an hour. and the
furious sea. frenxied by the awful
wind, beat against the sides of the boat
with fearful force. But the captain
and his men stood heroically at their
post and endeavored to steer the be-
wildered craft into the harbor and ref
nge of the breakwater. They were
fully two miles from the haven when a
huge tidal wave, as high as a two sto-
~ house, swept over the bow Of the
boat and carried the captain into the
Jaws OF the remorseless sea. He never
rose again. Every heart on that boat
was shocked and saddened. but in the
fearful fight with death that confront
ed them the survivors had neither time
nor inclination to indulge in the luxury
OF grief. The green waters of the ocean
formed the captains grave, an appro-
pirate resting place for one who had
been a waterman from his birth, and
the feeting crest of foam that formed
over the spot where he had sunk was
the only wreath that covered his wa
terry tomb.
Inc wind continued to howl, and the
waters dashed themselves into a fury
as the captainless boat was rocked from
size to side. Before an hour had passed
every shred Of sail had been torn from
tne rigging. Then, to add to the agony.

companied by native friends, Kusis and
Mana, I spent in fishing about a mile
from the barrier reef outside Coquille
harbor, where at depth of seventy to
eighty fathoms there was a patch Of
about ten acres IN extent almost free
from coral and frequented by an ex-
traOrdinary variety of fish, many Of
which were Of great size. There was
one species Of trevally, fish much
priced by the natives for its flavor,
which grew to great size and weighed
up to $50 pounds Three Of these la heu,'
as they were called, were as many as
orr canoe would hold, and we had to
stow them upright, for their width
they were Dream shaped-prevented our
placing them on their sides ip such
narrow space. l once suggested to
KusIs that we should stow couple of
these great fish on the cane work plat

ly carried our fishing tackle, food, etc.

the fish, he replied, and l quite be-

make dash at the outrigger of a canoe,
on the platform OF which were seated
two little girls. and with one vicious
snap Of its huge jaws break the outrig-
ger in halves and capsize the canoe.
Fortunately the father of the children
was a man Of nerve and as the shark
closed his teeth on the soft wood Of the
outrigger pole he leaped overheard and
with one stroke Of his heavy hbhing
knife disemboweied the creature There
was no great fuss made over the mat

eyes1ght In consequence Of these acct.
dents. Even when only one eye is in
jured the other eye also frequently
becomes affected through sympathy,
and blindness seems a heavy price to
pay for the brief pleasure obtained.
These pistols rarely have shot or bull
lets in them, but they do have wad-
ding. When this is shot into a boys
hand it is frequently found well buried
beneath the muscles. The outside
wound looks slight, and few people do
much besides washing and tying it up.
Quite often the hand or other part
swells and becomes badly poisoned
wound. If the sufferer seeks good
surgical care, as he should do imme-
diately, cut is made right down. to
the offending piece of wadding. After
extraction the wound is freely washed
with running water, ana If healing
results the boy is fortunate.
1t Is by no means uncommon, how
ever, for these wounds to cause lock-
jaw, and herein lies their great dan
ger. Two or three summers ago the
newspapers in the city of Philadelphia
collected from the hospitals a list of
the cases which ended fatally in this
way, and the result was such as to
cause any reasonable person to Won
der why, If parents were not sensible
enough to forbid the use of these dan
gerous toys, law was Immediately
passed forbidding the sale of pistols
In order to protect such foolish people
from themselves.
Grown-up people as well as children
are also often disfgured for life by the
discharge Of these toy pistols close to
their faces. The black gunpowder has
to be picked out of their faces, and
frequently their eyes, bit by bit. The
process Is not pleasant, nor improving
as regards appearances. Any powder
remaining is always visible as minute
black specks in the skin.-Ladies'

Removal of Land Office.

Oregon City - A remonstrance
against the proposed removal OF the
land Office from Oregon City to Port
land, and addressed to the president
and secretary of the interior, has been
circulated among the business men and
citizens here. The remonstrance cites
the fact that this is known as the
Oregon City land district, that Oregon
City is centrally located with reference
to the district, being accessible by rail
and boat; that there is no demand on
the part of settlers or the people at
large for the removal of the office.

POWER FROM WATER WORKS.
Morgan Lake Will Serve Double Purpose
at La Qrande.

La Grande-The Morgan lake water
power scheme, which is situated three
miles south of La Grande, on the sum-
init of the Blue monuatins, and which
is being constructed by the La Grande
water storage company, has been prac-
tically completed, by which the stor-
age company will furnish the city OF
La Grande $4,000, 900 gallons of water
per month for distribution through the
city water mains. The elevation of the
lake above the city of La Grande is L.
$50 feet, in distance of three miles.
A lake 120 acres in extent and now II
feet deep has been formed, with a pos
sibility of increasing the depth to 80
feet by building few hundred feet of
levee. Surveys have been made for
l1,175 feet of pipe line, leading to the
La Grande city reservoir. Steel pipe
two feet in diameter will be used to
conduct the water down the mountain
canyon to the power plant. about one
mile from the lake, where 1000 horse
power will be developed at first, with
the possibility of increasing the power
to 10, 900 horsepower when needed.

smooth piece of ground, and had put
on it all sorts of tempting eatables,
then placing rugs and carriage robes
enous appetites. After lunch they lay
around on the robes. too lazy to move,
and told stories and sang for nearly
two hours. Then, as it was very
warm, they were ready for a swim in
the inviting pool surrounded by moss
grown powders, not far away. There
was a scramble for bathing suits and
everyone helped to make dressing
rooms of branches and long grass, then
the fun began. One would have
thought they were ducks-for all the
California boys and girls are accom-
plished in one thing, and that is swim
ming.
Awhile after their swim Helen, with
three or four others, started out to
take walk along the bank of the
river. They rambled On and on. The
river, which was not very large, had
dwindled into a merry brook; they fol-
lowed it along up steep path, thickly
wooded. when suddenly they came up
on a clearing and in the midst Of it
stood cabin. Being curious to see
who could live in such lonely place,
they approached. On the doorstep sat
little girl about 8 years; she was
dressed neatly in blue gingham
apron. and her bare feet were like lit
tie snowflakes. Helen began a con-
versation with her in which she learn
ed that the child knew nothing about
the Fourth of July; but she appeared

very much interested in Helen'S de-
scription of firecrackers.' One Of the
girls said. rather thoughtlessly, what
a pity it was that the little girl could
not see the display Of fireworks they
were to have that night. The child's
woebegone little face touched Helen's
heart and she acted upon a generous
impulse. Knocking at the door, she
was admitted by the mother of the
child, who seemed greatly surprised at
seeing the group of boys and girls;
and when Helen told her of her wish
to take the little one with them to en-
joy the fireworks that evening, prom
Using that some one would bring her
safely home the next day, the mother
was delighted, and, calling the child,
told her Of the treat. When the little
girl, whose name was Ann Marlin, was
ready they went down the mountain
and into the canyon.
Half an hour later they were on the
road. Long before they reached home
the moon was up in all its glory, flood
ing the mountains and valleys with it's
light. They reached home about 8
o'clock and, after dinner, went out of
doors to see the wonderful display of
fireworks.
1t had been day long to be remem-
bered, and that night when all the
house was still the moon, which had
peeped in at the window and had seen
smile on every sleeping face, looked
in the window, into a tiny room, where
on a white bed lay little Ann Marlin,
and on her face rested the happiest
smile Of all.-Detroit Free Press.

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
STAMPEDE TO GOLD FIND.
Ledge on Thompson Creek Is Over $500
Feet Long.

Feet Long.
Medford-A. L. Morris has just re.
turned fromethe strike of gold on the
headwaters of Thompson creek, neal
Grayback mountain. He brought with
him over SIS 10 gold taken from the
ledge, which shows on the surface over
4,50O feet long. The Briggs boys have
taken out $18, 900 and have as much
more in sight.
Most of the people going in leave
Medford and go by way Of Jackson
vile, Crossing the divide at the head
of Williams creek. This route is olny
so miles from Medford. Hundreds OF
people are leaving, and the town is in
great excitement. Claims are being
staked and placer locations filed.
81. E. King washed $3.50 from four
pans of placer dirt on his location 800
feet from the Briggs find. The ledge
is $50 feet on the Oregon side of the
al:fornia line.
A townsite has been located and
tents are being pitched. Not since the
days of Gold Hill or Steamboat Springs
has so much interest been manifested
in gold dicsovrey. It is claimed that
the ledge is the same as the Steamboat
strike, but the values are much higher
and the ledge larger.

Railroad Asks for Terminus.

The Dalles-At the instance of sew
eral business men and property owners
of this city meeting was held last
week to consi ier the feasibility ef
bringing the line of the Great Southern
railway into this city, together with
the cost of right of way and terminal
grounds for the same. The request of
the Great Southern officials was for
three city blocks situated in the ex-
treme east end of the town for depot
grounds, and right of way from the
mouth of Five Mile creek. where the
line has been surveyed, to the city. 1t
is understood that the right of way
and this terminal site asked for can be
had for $6, 500. A committee was ap-
poionted to canvas the city to acquire
the necessary funds to acquire this
property.
