AN OREGON HERO.
March II, 1904.


In all times and in all climes, from cen
turies before the Christian era to the pres
ent, and from ancient Greece to fair Cali
fornia, the tensest string in the gamut of
human emotions has been the one attuned
to vibrate to the deeds of hero. In the
hurry and scurry of life it may sometimes
seem as though selfshness were the donin-
ant passion and that self-sacrifce were dead
in the world; that the feeling the Greeks
had in venerating their heroes, even to the
point of regarding them as demi-gods, is
old-fashioned and vanished from the world.
But the age of heroes has not passed
away, and at times we are reminded of
that fact by the brave deed OF some hero
still among us.
There is no man or woman who will
not feel the blood pulse quicken upon read
ing of the death of the young athlete, Sum
ner smith, near Portland, Or, o. last
Tuesday afternoon. The passengers Of the
steamer American were suddenly staFs.a

from young Smith, 4 can, and forthwith
he leaped into the Willamette River, where

Cling for her life Smith held the girl
aloft until.she was saved, but before rescuers
could reach him he was caught by the treach-
erous cramp and gave his life in sacrifice to
duty.
''The call to him was tragic and sudden,
but gallantly he met it, counting not the
cost, and was baptized a hero in the murky
waters of the Willamette. None among us
can be more noble or make greater sacri
fee than that made by one who in the frs
flush Of athletic manhood freely dies that {
helpless girl may live. The name that tn,
steamer bore, American, to uphold which
so many heroes have nobly died, will b
honored by none more worthy than thi
young Oregonian, and though from thi
pitiless tide, swollen by Spring freshets
Sumner Smiths body may never be recov

the thought that he gave up his life tina
another might live.
