SCHOOL JOURNAL Regular school work was con- tinued Friday forenoon after two days of examinations. The after noon was spent in playing games in the different rooms until 2 o'clock wh~r the children all assembled in the high school room to sing songs while awaiting the arrival of Santa Claus. At last he came. He was right on time too, and after making a very appropriate little speech, he presented each child with a box of candy. Charles Parker acted the part of Santa Claus.

even reached the scene of the

The cause of all the excitement
was the burning of patch of grass
about fifteen feet square at the
south end of Doyle Brothers imple-
ment shed just sdhth of the elevat-
or. Some one saw ii and was afraid
the shed would catch and sent in an
alarm. Afew shovelfuls of sand ex-

The only losses incurred were a
little breath by the firemen and a
few pounds of steam from the cleo
trio light boiler. No insurance.
The fire company made the run
down Mill street because they were
not notified wherethe fire was and
the only smoke visible was in that
direction. The company would
greatly appreciate it, and it would
save them much time, if any person
sending i'm an alarm would either
telephone or go to the fire hall and
inform them of the exact location
of the fire.

DROWNS IN ROGUE.
Resident of Lower River Falls Into
Pool While Fishing.

William Robertson, a well-known
resident of the lower Rogue river val
ley, was drowned in the Rogue Sun
day morning while fishing on the
rifle at the Bybee mine, II miles
below Grants Pass.
Robertson, in company with jim
Cox, an old miner, hao Sone to the
river early in the morning. Robert
son waded out on the rifle, and was
using a gaff to catch the salmon as
they would run up into the shallow
water. He had just gated a big
salmon at the head of the pool below
the rifle, when Cox, who was on the
shore, saw him fall and go into the
deep water of the pool Robertson
was known to be a good, strong
swimmer, and when he disappeared
beneath the water, Cox thought he
had dived on purpose. A few mo-
ments later, however, Robertson rose
to the surface of the water to sink
again almost Immediately. Cox then
realized that Robertson for some
reason was not able to help himself
evidently making no effort to swim,
and ran to the Robertson house near
ly a mile distant for assistance.
Parties who returned with a boat
found Robertson's body lying at the
bottom of the pool, only few feet
from the west bank of the river, and
in six feet of water When recov-
cred it had been in the water two
hours and fifteen minutes and r6sus-
citation was impossible.
At the point where the accident
occurred bend in the river sets the
current in toward the west bank, but
the water was not bad enough to
have drowned Robertson ordinarily
as he was raised on the river, knew
all of its currents, and was an expert
swimmer. From the fact as evi-
denced by the statement of Mr.. Cox
the only eyewitness, that the drown
ing man made no attempt to save
himself by swimming, it is though
that possibly he may have tainted, OF
have been suddenly stricken with
heart disease, though he was not
known to have suffered from either
cause. Those who were present when
the body was taken from the water
say that the lungs seemed not to be
filled with water, which they be-
lieved indicated that he was moi
breathing when under the water.
