VIII Blair, a logger employed by
the Scheloske Manufacturing COM
pany on Mill creek, had a narrow es-
cape from death in the fire now
burning in that section. He was
hauling logs from the vicinity of the
fire and on one of his trips the wind
shifted, driving the flames down
across the road, cutting him off from
the mill. He was surrounded by fire
and only by putting the whip to the
team and making a dash through the
avenue of flames was 1t possible for
him to escape. For nearly two hum
dred yards he raced with the fire
and while he succeeded in escaping
with his life, his face was badly
blistered by the intense heat and the
names and tails of the horses were al
most entirely burned off.-Council

Holdup by an Indian.

Last Friday evening, about dusk,
an Indian. having considerable booze
on Board, held up a man, about three
miles from the river, on the road to
Goldendale. The man was strang-
er In the city and considered himself
forced to obey anything that an In
dian asked or told him to do. He
gave the Indian IS, all the money he
had, and then the Indian made him
take off his pantaloons and suspend
ers and kept him dancing up and
down the road for ten or fifteen
minutes. He made a complaint be-
fore Justice Rorick. OF Grand Dalles,
Wash, who issued n warrant for the
arrest of the Indian. but he had

A city girl writes, 1T is a fond
dream of mine TO become farmers
wife and meander with him down llfe's

All, yes, that is a nice thing! But
when your husband meanders off and
leaves you without wood and you have
to meander up and down the lane pull
ing splinters off the fence to cook din
ner. and when you meander along in
the wet grass in search Of the cows till
your shoes are the color OF rawhlde
and your stockings soaked, and when
you meander out across twenty acres
Of plowed ground with club to drive
the hogs out of the cornfield and tear
your dress on the barb wire fence,
when you meander back home to the
house, find that the billy goat has
butted the stufiin' out of your child
and find the old hen, with forty chick
ems. in the parlor, you'll put your
hands on your hips and realize that
meandering is not what it is cracked
up to be.-Osborne KanJ News.

BIGGEST WINDMILL OF ALL.
Pumps Water Into Golden Gate Park
In San Francisco.

The largest windmill in the United
States. II, indeed, not the largest in
the whole world, has recently been
constructed near San Francisco. This
gigantic mill is located directly on the
ocean beach, near the famous seal
rocks. 1t is used for pumping water
up into Golden Gate park.
The huge, strong wooden tower sup
porting the wind arms rises 1SO feet
II is 40 feet square at the base, Sc
curely anchored and gradually tapers
upward, assuming a round shape.
There are four immense wooden
arms or vanes. Each arm measures
80 feet from the center OF hub-thus
making a diameter of 100 feet in de-
scribing the circle. The wind vanes
are six feet wide and extend nearly the
entire length of the huge arms.
This windmill is located upon a
prominent elevation, so that It may
catch every available wind arising in
that section.
This colossal windmill is capable of
developing 80 horse power. Its pump

Complicated Accident.

Henry Williams met with a start
ling accident last Saturday. by which
ne came near losing his life. Riding
in the hills about six miles back Of
Brakes" he came upon COW which
had sunken in the mire, and was not
able to get out. He was accompanied
by his little boy Arthur. He threw
rope over the cows horns, but was
unable in this way to get the animal
TO dry ground With one OF his feet
on dry ground and the other on the
CONS rump, he attempted to fasten
another rope to her tail thinking by
these moorings and by means of the
horses. to extricate the brute from
her predicament. While thus poised
between the earth and the COW, the
latter made an unexpected wrlggle,
and threw Mr.. Williams into the
muck. Struggle as best he could he
sank rapidly to his neck and would
surely have gone out of sight had not
the boy succeeded in throwing him
a rope. By the aid of horse the
slimy and much frightened victim
was saved from death.
After this accident they stayed and
helped the poor COW out of the mud.
They sank hole in the morass dis
tance Of ten feet without striking bot
tom. This place was never before
known to be dangerous. BY her weak
ened condition they think the COW
had been in the sinkhole at least five
days. She had a little calf standing
by almost starved to death. Henry
says this is the closest call he ever
had, (not speaking of the calf and
he is not desirous OF repeating the ex-
perience.-Salmon Herald.

Sea water is a complicated mixture
Of a great variety of substances.
Roughly speaking, 1t consists of 9G1a
per cent of fresh water plus 31a per
cent of mineral salts. Three-fourths Of
these salts are chloride of sodium, or
common table salt, and the next largest
constituent is chloride of magnesium.
After these come sulphate of magne-
stun, sulphate of lime, sulphate of pot
ash, bromide Of magnesium and carbo-
nate of lime. In addition to these sub
stances sea water contains minute
quantities Of quite variety Of ele-
ments, including iodine, phosphorus
and arsenic. 1t also contains some sill
yer, copper, zinc, nickel, cobalt, iron
and gold. There is said to be cents

way to extract it. Copper and zinc are

Commenting ON the complaint of
the Baker city Democrat that Oregon
is receiving but few settlers and but
slight benefit from the Lewis ana

The Democrat may speak for Ba-

Baker is deriving no benefit from this

fsuit of the county.
We are the most isolated county IN

the benefits now and have from the
middle of June. Several have been
attracted here through getting ac-
