"A Lame Duck"
Contributed.)


Edward Morgan, the present post
master of New York city, has given
this department of our government
thirty-five years splendid service. He
began at the bottom and is now at
the top He has won because he
merted it. The papers say that he Is
to be dismissed. Why? Not because
he is not filling the position accept
ably. But because a good" Demo
crat failed to be returned to Congress
and he must be provided for is the
dictum of Tammany Hall. 1t is
a shameful and disgusting procedure.
The character of the new man may
be first class but he never has been
in the postal service. A New York
paper says the office needs a post
master, not a lame duck.

His lecture was illustrated with the

SAD TRAGEDY AT
UPPER FARM

Last Wednesday evening wit
messed a sad tragedy at Upper
Farm, in the drowning of the
two youngest daughters of Mr..
and Mrs. j. w. Mcguire. We'd
nesday was a very hot day for
this locality, and about six
o'clock Mrs. Mcclure, accom-
panied by her daughters, Lottie
and Esther, aged 13 and 8 years,
went to the Siletz river to bathe.
All three were good swimmers,
but in some manner one of the
girls was caught in a whirlpool
and called for assistance, tn.
mother and other daughter at
once went to heI aid, but were
unable to save her and both
girls were sucked down by the
treacherous swirling currents,
and the mother came near losing
her life as well. Help was at
once summoned and the little
bodies recovered after being in
the water about half an hour.
They were found lying in about
20 feet of water and had been
carried about thirty feet up
stream. AS soon as taken from
the water, efforts at resuscita-
ton were at once begun, sand
after they had worked on the
younger girl for a time she
opened her eyes and began
breathing, but she seemed too
much exhausted and soon pass
ed away. This sad accident has
cast a gloom over the entire
community, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Mcclure have the heart felt
sympathy Of their many neigh
bors and friends in their be-
reavement.

ing water for 16 days and only
food enough for one more meal,
George Harvig of Eureka anC
Harry r. Marquard of Alameda
were rescued by a steamship of
the Union line. They were
adrift u days.
Only the fact that the rescu-

her course saved them. The
frail little craft, of which they
had lost control, was 1870 miles
off Point Sur, where no Oriental
nor Australian vessel ever passes
in normal voyages.
H'arvig and Marquard were
cared for by the officers of the
liner and the passengers. who
brought them back gradually to
normal physical and mental bal
