Pioneer School Teacher Passes Away
at tter Home in Salem.

Miss Elizabeth Theresa Boise died
at the home of her brother, Judge

of Panama in 1868. For thirty
years Miss Boise was one Of the best
known educators of the Northwest,

old boys and girls scattered all over
the Northwest whose children, and
some whose children's children, re-
member kindly Miss Lizzie Boise,
their teacher in the long ago.-States-

LIVELY RUNAWAY AT SALEM
Two Polk County Women Have Exc
citing Experience on Big
Steel Bridge.

An accident occurred on the Will
lamette steel bridge Saturday morn
ing which might have proven serious
to those concerned had not men been
at hand to assist, says the Salem
Statesman. Two ladies from near
Dallas were crossing the bridge on
their way to Salem for a shopping
tour, driving a gentle horse and open
buggy, and when near the Marion
County side the horse became frighten-
ed at a noise caused by men on the
river banks beating carpet. The
animal suddenly lunged toward the
south side of the bridge, plunged
under the wires used as a railing,
careening the buggy and tipping out
the occupants The horse then raised
up with the three wires on its back,
and began plunging frantically in a
desperate effort to release itself. The
driver pluckily held to the lines and
prevented the horse from going
further until Arthur Meyers and Mr..
Pasco, who were near, could come to
the rescue. They unhitched the
animal, but he broke away from them
onto the foot bridge and ran down the
Marion county approach. At the end
of the foot bridge Ennis Waites' wheel
was leaning against the railing, and
the frightened animal struck it, max
ing a complete wreck. There he was
caught and returned to the owners,
the only damage having been a few
broken straps of the harness.
Had the horse struck the wires on
the opposite side he would have gone
over into the river, and the buggy
been wrecked, with the possibility Of
the ladies also having been thrown
into the icy waters Of the Willamette.
AS it was, they were thrown near the
edge and could easily have fallen be-
tween the wires. Had none been at
hand to assist, the ladies would have
been entirely at the mercy of the
frightened beast
There has been feeling of in
security ever since the old wooden
railings were replaced with wire and
the accident Saturday shows that nc
time should be lost in making it more
secure.

Builds Cement Walk.

A new cement sidewalk on both
sides of DR.. Mark Hayter's residence
property on Main street greatly im-
proves the appearance of the premises
and the street. The OBSERVER would
like to see the building Of cement
walks become general in the residence
district. The cost is somewhat greater
than that of wooden walks, but the
cement walk is more satisfactory in
every respect, and is much cheaper in
the end.

Those who attended the play last
night came away with sore sides
from so much laughter. The play,
"A Flmily Affair, was side
splitting from start to finish and
the audience was in thorough SYM
pathy with the performance. The
young man who pretended to be
married to gain a fortune, found
himself in many close and seem
ingly hopeless places, but the in
diligence of a guardian always al
lowed a way out. The play was
well sustained throughout, aud
