have watched with interest
the columns of your paper to see
what the honorable county court
had done in regard to the de.
posits of this oounty's funds.
This is an issue that all of the
people are interested in. The
people on thsons hand, and on the
other . few banking concerns,
consisting for the most part of
people that would seek gain from
the poor unfortunates that are
trying to make living for their
dependent wives and innocent
children, the same children that
in . few short years must be the
ones that will run this glorious
country of ours. While, on the
other hand, are the laborers of
all classes on whose burdened
shoulders lie the responsibilities
OF producing for the comfort and
sustenance Of all mankind,
And now that the present floods
have devastated the whole of the
rich bottom lands of this county |
and destroyed hundreds Of thous- |
ands of dollars worth of drops, |
for the poor taxpayers, we fee.
that it is the duty Of this honor.
able county court to help them ia
every way possible. They are
clamoring for reforms and in.
trenchments by this said court.
We appreciate that the court oan
not satisfy all, but it certainly
could stand for q few reforms in |
the way of expenses, etc. For
instance, let the county's printing |
out to the lowest bidder, (there
is certainly no printers com-
bine), cut down the price of con-
veying an insane person to the |
asylum, also of the highway en-.
gineer, hold few less adjourned
terms of court; If it is necessary
stay in session longer, thereby
the mileage, and many
other little items can be cut
down, 1--WE do not mean to cut
down the necessary expense on
bridges. the way that money is
most effectually spent TO benefit
the tsxpsyers). And further to
with section 1922, r. S., |,
1899, ''Duty Of county court in
case no bank in county
bids or bids are unsatisfactory."
and proceed to let some bank or
banks in an adjoining county
have the deposits. as provided in j
said section, whereby our treas.
Try would be replenished, per.
haps several hundred dollars.
Certainly Linn county would ,
gladly bid on our deposits, as

That Welch Rescue.

That Welch Rescue.
In the last issue of the COURIER
we made . brief mention of thu
heroic efforts ofour young friend
Oscar Welch, in rescuing E. B.
Kellogg and w. g. Agee from
the turbulent waters of the
Mussel Fork while on one OF the
most destructive rampages in its
history.
Messrs. Kellogg, Aeee and
Welch had left Keysesville in Mr..
Ksllogg's skiff, intending to "a
down in the Charlton river bot.
tom, near Whitesides lake, to
look after some wheat on Agee
Bros.' bottom farm and to see
what the water was doing to
crops on land in the same vicini.
ty that belongs to an Illinois
party for whom Mr.. Kellogg is
the local representative.
At q point in the fourth bend
OF the Mussel Fork below the
wagon road bridge across that
stream. just south of Keytesville
station, they T. n into some pro-
jecting limbs Of trsss, some OF
which were hanging over, others
down in the water. Mr.. Kellogg,
who was steering the boat, was
struck on the side OF the neck by
one of these limbs and knocked
out of the skiff. He lost no time
grabbing hold of more friendly
limb and then scaling q tree to q
place of safety.
A short distance further down
the stream young Welch told
Mr.. Agee to ostch hold of q limb
and stop the boat, it being their
purpose to GO back and get Mr..
Kellogg. By grabbing hold of
the limb as requested the boat
shot from underneath Mr.. Agee,
who was unable to swim, and he,
too, found himself out in the
creek. It at once developed that
he was never 30 glad to see q
limb in all his life and he held
onto it like grim death to q dead
darkey.
Hearing Mr.. Agee's cries of
distress, Oscar Weloh then
deserted the boat and swan
back up the creek and rescued
Mr.. Agee, who is an ardent Bsp.
tist, but realized that be had
come in contact with more water
than was good for even q Bap.
tist.
As Mr.. Agee clung to that
limo he thought of many things
terrestrial, feeling much anxiety
over what his wife and family
would do without him, and was
about ready to give up and enter
upon joys celestial when Oscar
began to jolly him, sang q
rag time song, and told him
he would soon be selling goods
again, and Oscar has proven to
be q true prophet.
Young Welch, after landing
Mr.. Agee beyond danger, pro.
cured q board and swan out and
gave it to Mr.. Kellogg which en-.
abled him to make his escape.
Mr.. Agee's voice still mbles |
when he talks about his danger
ous experience, while Mr..
Kellogg insists that he could !
have gotten out without assist
ance, but he was no doubt mighty
glad to see that board and is now
more than ever against q pro.
;ective tariff on lumber ss it was
he board and Oscar Welch and
lot the tariff that protected"
him.
Many are insisting that Oscar
q nothing short of . hero, but he
reats what he did as . trivial
natter and wears the honors of Q

Devastation by High waters.


Devastation by High Waters.
Perhaps never before in the
history of Charlton county was
such wide. spread devastation
wrought by high waters ss that
OF the recent overflow. Praotio.
ally every stream in the county
went on q rampage and bottom
crops generally were destroyed
and it is believed that at least
one-third of the farm products .oi
the county was ruined.
The Mussel Fork, Charlton
and Grand rivers and in some
instances the Missouri river have
caused the greatest losses, reduo.
ing to q desolste waste as fine
crops as were ever grown in this
section. For many miles above
Brunswick Grand river is report-
ed to have been higher than it
was ever known to be before,
and it's work of destruction was
complete.
A moderate estimate Of the loss
of crops on the bottom lands
places the damage at 81, 500, 900.
The magnificent erops on the
Whitman, Rankin & Durham
ranch, about 2 l.2 or 3 miles
north OF Triplett, were destroyed,
due to the breaking of q levee, as
were also many of the fine crops
CROWN Missouritownship, the new
ievee along the Missouri river in
that township having given way,
not only inundating field after
field of corn. wheat, etc., but
also driving people from their
humes.
Temple Bros.. who run q gen. :
eral store at Rockford, ak miles
south of Keytesville, were com.
PEELED to remove their goods,
water afterwards coming up into
their store. building to q depth of
three feet. A great many other
houses in various bottoms were
also flooded and the il mates had
to move out.
The Charlton river ditcd failed
to be equal to the emergency of

ton river bottom being generally

A number OF head of live stock |
vas drowned, but no human ives
we're lost in this county 80 far as
we have been able to learn.
The heaviest lossers in this
immediate vicinity are j. D.
Cunningham and j. L. Cropper,
Who owns 800 or 900 acres
# land, about two miles south Of
zeytesville. The levee along
heir farms was not high enough
