SILVERTON boy HERO
OF Marine DISASTER

Among those who performed hero
ically in rescuing the Inflated pas
sengers of the Manette disaster Sun
day, was H. H. Grazier. 1t has de-
veloped that Mr.. Grazier is worthy of
exceptional honor, so calmly and
bravely was his wrk done, as he re-
peatedly went back into the water to
save another of the terror stricken vic
tins of the sad affair.
He saw twhere two sisters were
clinging to piles and assisted them to
the shore. While saving one of the
sisters, he was nearly drowned for she
in terror repeatedly hampered his
wrk, holding his head beneath the
water Grazier also saved small boy
and lady, who, when he came to
her assistance said help the others,
I can hang on a little longer
"It is regrettable that the name of
this brave lady, who. thought chilled
to the bone by the water, yet thought
OF the safety of others in their COM
mon misfortune, could not be learned.
'Grazier is a shipfitter in the navy
yard. He suffered no ill effects from
his immersion other than bad cold"
The above clipping was taken from
a Bremerton, Wash, paper and refers
to Hiram Grazier, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Henry Grazier of this city-Abpeal.

Portland, Ore, Dec. 22.--There is
little danger of a freshet damaging

spite the fact the Willamette river has

The river Is rising slowly at other
valley points, with the exception of
Eugene where there has been drop

The river was seven feet at Eugene

Sunday. At Albany 1t rose from 1872
to 1873 feet; Salem from 1873 to IA

AS the Columbia Is still low, the

SIRE ANS OF POLK
COUNTY SUBSIDE

Dallas Or, Dec. 23.-The high
water of the streams in this section
which threatened to do great
amount of damage Saturday had
gone down materially and all danger
from floods is considered past. The
La Creole river which flows through
Dallas was out of. Its banks Satur-
day and for a time threatened to
damage dwelling houses along its
banks but this morning the stream
had gone down several feet. The
warm rains which caused the snow
to disappear rapidly ceased Sunday
somewhat which caused the snow to
melt more slowly. Reports from var
ious parts of the county are to the
effects that the streams while still
high are in no danger Of doing any
material damage.

To the Editor
Quite accurate for the most part,
Mr.. Winship's "reminiscences concern
ing North Dakota's, first Republican
state convention contains some errors
or mis-statements which I beg leave
to call attention TO-.
BY a pre-arranged plan, the ''old
gang" sought to control the conven-
ton through boiling delegations from
every county in the state that was
known to be opposed to 1t. Ramsey
was n of many such counties, Here
the fight was very bitter. for the rea-
son that Ramsey had a candidate for
the congressional nomination., and It
was generally understood that as went
Ramsey so would go quite all the
northwestern section of the state.
Henry Hale, still a prominent resi-
dent Of devils Lake. was easily chosen
chairman Of the county convention
and proceeded in the usual way to
name the preliminary committees.

ton; conformable to the "'old gang

these local facts can be verified by
