shoveling the dirt to platform several
feet above his head, from where it was
thrown out by James Gray, another
laborer. Mr.. Thomas was down a depth
of II feet, when the side of the ditch
suddenly gave away. John Young, who
was working in the ditch directly back of
Thomas. stated that he had turned 10
get shovel. when he heard Thomas cali.
''Look out" and that, looking ahead in
the ditch everything seemed to have
turned black, and Young realized what
had occurred. The earth broke in
seam or ledge, and from one to two
tons of dirt buried the unfortunate man
in the bottom OF the ditch.
A message came to Corvallis by phone
and physician fastened to the scene
The nearse was also sent out, and in the
meantime the laborers on the ditch had
been digging out the entombed victim.
Twas found on examination by the ply
sician that Mr.. Thomas neck had been
broken, and death was consequently
instantaneous and painless.
The remains were brought to Corvallis
and taken to the morgue, where an in
quest Vas held. The jury was E. L.
Strange, Lincoln Chambers, VIM. Crees,
V. A. Vidito, A. E. Wilkins and Homer
Lilly, and hey returned a verdict of
accidental death, and exonerated the
the foreman from any carelessness in
carrying on the work, it being stated in
the verdict that it seemed that ordinary
precautiOn had been observed in perform
ing the work.
William Thomas was SO years of age
married Hannah Wilson in 1895, who,
with six children survive. The mother
is not in robust health, and the fam
lily is in very needy condition. Sub
scriptions were taken by neighbors and
others. Tuesday morning, and quite an
amo unit in cash was contributed.
The case is pathetic in the extreme,
and there is general sympathy for the
stricken ones.

Appreciates His Work.

We are in receipt of a letter
from Captain Apperson and a
reading will convince anyone of
the service A. J. Johnson has
rendered OAC. Furthermore, it
draws att ention to the fact that
if Mr.. johnson was able through
his standing to accomplish so
much for our institution, it goes
without saying that if elect
ed member of the legislative
body of Oregon he will be en-
abled to accomplish far greater
results for our college. The
letter we received is as follows:

vices in securing from the Ways

body favorable recommendation
providing for the needs of the

judgement are under obligation:

The evidence which justihes
the application of such remedy
multiplies every day and ere long

"Three Men i'm q Boat.

No doubt the charm OF "Life
on the Ocean Wave" has been
lost for three Newport lads. We
judge by the following dispatch
sent out from Newport, Monday:
Late last evening the lite-sav-
ing crew at the Yaquina Bay
station effected a most difficult
rescue of three young men from
Newport who went out deep-sea
fishing early yesterday morning
They were c. Baker, Lee Doty
and George Michlev. When
they Wen. out the sea was very
smooth aud as they went up the
coast about ten miles it was late
in the evening when they reach
ed the entrance to this harbor
again. They found the bar
breaking heavily and it was inn
possible to come in. A southern
ly gale was threatening and word
was sent to the life-saving station.
The crew responded promptly.
The surf along the beach at
the station was too heavy tor the
surfboat, after mile run up to
the boat house on the south side
of the bay a liteboat was launched
and going out through the en-
trance succeeded in crossing the
bar after desperate battle with
mountainous seas.
Just as it got dark the life
savers picked up the fishermen
but were obliged to remain out
all night. At six O'Clock this
morning they got safely in again,
with the rescued men, who were
in a plight when found their boat
only being kept aaoat by con-
slant bailing, many of the seams
having tbeen sprung open with
the heavy pounding of the sea.
The life-saving crew are receiv-
ing great praise for the gallant
rescue.

Ex-Representative William J.
Coombs, president OF the South
Brooklyn Savings Bank, has been
looking over the legislative field
at Washington for the past sew
eral days.
After conferring with his
friends in the Senate and House.
Mr.. Coombs has come to the con-
clusion that Congress is really
trying to draft a rate law that
will stand in the courts, and at
the same time provide a large
measure of popular relief. In
explaining the situation as he
finds it, Mr.. Coombs said:
''Fhe undisputed tendency of
the great trunk lines of roads
that span the continent toward
consolidation of interests in few
hands, either by actual merger or
control of stock has seriously
alarmed even the most conser-
vative.
''It is barely possible that
there are constitutional prohibi-
tions which will prevent ef-c-
tive legislation, bnt we must
make the honest trial.
"The natural suggestion is
government ownership and oper-
alton of roads. The aggress,ons
Of the roads may create such a
public sentiment as will force its
consideration by the government.
There is another remedy, far
better than government owner
ship aud operation.
''It is possible to create new
physical conditions which will
either check or dominate those
now in existence and restore to
the people large amount OF
competition with resorting to the
perilous plan of government
operation of roads viz; the build
ing of great national highway
across the continent. The
Panama Canal seems to furnish
an 'ohject lesson that it may
be worth while to consider. 1t
has been considered proper and
Legitimate for any state Or for the
general government to construc,

If it is legitimate for the gov
ernment to construct waterway
through land in aid of commerce,
through which any citizen OF
company can, upon paying toll
and complying with strict regula-
tions convey his or its barges, is
it not just as Legitimate and feas-
ible for it to construct a steel way
over land, upon which any rail.

corporation OR private individual,
can convey car or train of cars

Home Life OF the south Carolinian Is
Most Quiet and Simplex
| goes home and forgets the cares Of the
day, simply to enjoy a few hours with
his family.
When congress adjourns and the
quicker to get away than Mr.. TilIman.
Down near Trenton. S. c., he has a
big farm. On this plantation the
senior senator spends most OF his
time in the summer, except in cam
paign years, and there goes out and
actually tills the soil, just as he did
Is and 20 years ago, before his re-
markable abilities and characteristics
brought him into public life.
If anyone wonders at the t~ireless
energy of the South Carolinian, let him
go back into his past life and learn
that he was a hard working farmer, "a
cornfieid lawyer" as he once called
himself. In the %cornfelds and cotton
fields, no doubt Senator Tillman, long
before he ever entered politics, planned
many of the things which he accom-
plished afterward. Perhaps down In
the long ORR rows he plans many of
his congressional undertakings before
returning to the senate.
1t is-a at Trenton that Senator Till
man lives the ideal life. Call upon him
there and you will be received with
all the hospitality Of any southern
gentleman. You will meet all the
members of his family. You will hear
him up early in the morning, and un-
less he is studying some speech he will
go to bed early at night.
Senator Tillman Is one of the clean
est, moral men who ever entered the
public life of this country, n his
simple life on the farm has beer one
of the strongest factors in molding
this almost perfect moral character.
He does not drink or smoke. and in
every respect is the ideal father and
husband.
Senator Tillman comes of fighting
blood. When a boy his early training
vas given into the care OF a gov
erness, a sister of Gen. Chester A. Ar
thur, afterward president. AT the age
of 16 he ran away to join the confed-
crate army, He was overtaken By a
severe illness, however, during which
he lost the sight of one eye and was
incapacitated for service.
Senator Tillman's personal appear
is peculiar. The loss OF his eye
mars one side of his face. His head
is covered with a thick crop OF jet
black hair. His lips are thin and have
a habit Of curling In a contemptuous
manner When in the midst Of an ex-
citing debate this characteristic be-
comes painfully noticeable. Brother
senators who have sat near him on
occasions when he has been wrought
up to a white heat in an argument, say
that the snarling curl of his lips con-
vey more OF contempt and defiance
than they have ever seen on any other
human face.

A person who did not know Sena-

capacity, might think that he Is high
strung, irritable. and hard to get
along with. They might pursue his
strenuousness, responsiveness and
fiery. debating temper into his home,
and believe that these characteristics
were the dominant features of his
private life.
