From week to week, from year TO

Maj. Micah Jenkins, who las,
Thursday succumbed to an attack O
malaria, was a brave son of a brave
sire. Kind and true, faithful to the
best traditions of his race, no man
could have a more loyal friend than
Maj. Jenkins. AS true as steel, az
brave as a lion, as tender as a woman,
he will be missed by those who knew
him. A good neighbor, a true friend

Mr.. and Mrs. S. F. Blythe, who left
here Sunday, December q, for San
Diego. Calf, where they will spend
the winter with their daughter, Mrs
Clara Mallor. were aboard the steam
schooner Roanoke which had such a
peril0us passage across the Columbia
bar last Thursday morning. One pas
senger, Robert Stevens, twenty three
year old Canadian electrician, who was
passing from the saloon to the social
hall against the orders of the ships
officers, was washed overheard and
drowned.
The great wave which struck the
Roanoke not only stove in woodwork
along the rail, carried away doors and
flooded decks, but it broke steam pipes
and Kissing steam filled the dining
saloon galley and social hall and added
to the terror of the panic-stricken pas
sengcrs who feared the vessel was
about to be swamped.

Scare GrOnndIesS at Corvallis.

are to the effect now that the scare is
groundless.
AT the college there have been but
five students affected by the disease,
and they were quarantined at once in
town, and their residences and class
rooms thoroughly fumigated, that
others might not be endangered" +"

the money market, home and abroad,
was not such as to facilitate advance

perfectly natural, therefore, that the
market should have stood almost alb
solutely still, with even the usually
active stocks fiuctuating within the
narrowest fractional limits. Excep.
for few stocks OF the usually mac

for instance. which often move when
no other stocks are moying), the

tirely negligible.

In Baltimore Robinson took hold of
Joe Corbett, after Joe had drifted
from pillar TO post, and made him
one of the greatest pitchers in the
