He was traveling on his bicycle and took it onto the boat and leaned it against the side of the boat railing. On the boat were some cattle that were being taken across the river. The cattle became quite unruly and one of the animals made a pass at Fred, who took to the water without ceremony. Luckily, he was not hurt in any way, aside from getting a good ducking, but his wheel was knocked down and tramped on by the cattle to such an extent that it was taken to "The Fixer." + Food CG51 Oct 22, 1901 receipt for chow chow; one peck green tomatoes, l lg head cabbage, 6 onions, 2 red peppers chopped fine, 1 qt. vinegar, l teacup full salt; boil 30 min, drain through collendar.

[ Sub Head.] Union Jack Was Removed At Skagway Custom House. Vancouver, B.C., July 1. --The steamer Islander, from Sakgway [print] today, brings news of an exciting flag episode at Skagway. E. S. Busby, Canadian customs agent there, acting on instructions from Ottawa, hoisted the British flag on a pole above his office. Several incendiary remarks followed the hoisting of the ensign, and on the following morning a tall, athletic-looking man glanced up at the flag, and stopping at the foot of the staff, took out his pocket knife, and cutting the halyards, pulled down the flag and run the [print] halyards through the block, rolled up the colors and tossed them into a recess of the building. It did not take Customs Agent Busby long to come to the defense of the flag of his country. When he reached the flag-furler the latter calmly pulled a card from his pocket, and, after handing it to the astonished Canadian official, turned on his heel and walked away. On the card was: "George Miller, attorney-at-law, Eugene, Oregon." Miller is a brother of Joaquin Miller, the California poet, and is visiting friends in Skagway. + [also in CZ] [??] CG 54 July 5, 1891 [Head:] Wells Items. The badly decomposed body of a dead man was found near the S. P. bridge across the Luckiamute, between Suver and Parker station, Sunday. The body lay in a dense thicket, and was discovered by James McLain, a resident of the vicinity. In the pocket of the dead man's coat were found a five cent piece and a memorandum, but the latter contained only a few figures and there was no other clue as to the identity of the remains. A revolver was found nearby, which gave foundation for the general supposition of self-destruction. The bullet had entered the temple, passed through the head and was found in the hat which still covered the skull. From the condition of the body, it is thought that death resulted at least two months ago. As nearly as can be ascertained, deceased [print] was aged between 24 and 30, and in life must have weighed 145 pounds, The clothing was in good condition and the toes of the sock that covered the feet, were still clean and white. An inquest was held by the coroner of Polk county, and because of the condition of the remains, a grave was made by the side of the corpse and burial took place without further ceremony or delay. The question is: Whose son was he ? + Dilly outside-entertain 4th July bicycle misc-word interest CG54 July 5, 1891 [Head:] The Future "Scorcher". One of the features of the parade at Albany on the Fourth of July was the six-year-old son of T. W. Dilley, of this city. The little fellow is quite a celebrity in bicycle circles. He rides a 12-inch gear wheel that was made for him by his father. On the morning of the Fourth, dressed up in the style of "Uncle Sam," the little lad started awheel to Albany in company with his sister and father. The ride was made in about an hour and a half and the boy was quite fresh on his arrival. While riding in the parade he was cheered from start to finish and caused considerable comment. He was greatly pleased with himself and the sensation he was creating and grinned quite broadly now and then. He rode around town all day and had a great time. During the day he mounted one of the horses of the merry-go-round, =aCG54a and, to prove to :the populace that he.was "all right," he rode with his hands in his pockets. In the evening he started home and when he got on the Benton county side of the Willamette there was a prize fight in progress. This he determined to witness and when his father to1d him that. it was riot a proper thing for him to see he raised "Old Ned." He told his father that he had never seen a prize fight and now, [print] that he that he had a chance of his life-time, his father was going to spoil it all. He told his father that he never let him see anything. Dilley, the elder, relented and Young America saw the fight. After it was over they came on home. The boy was somewhat tired, but stood the trip mighty well. During the coming winter-Mr. Dilley intends making his sari a fine wheel that will be more suitable to his size. Than are very few six-year-old boys that can make a 30 or 40 mile trip in a day arid not have to be carried to bed. + [M. note. other Dilley items abt father selling bicycles (even to newlyweds) that I haven't copied in these papers.] [also in CZ] = CG 55 Aug 27, 1901 Transport enterprise organ-factory CG 55 Aug 27, 1901 R. M. Kramer, the gentleman who recently purchased the carriage factory in this city, is undoubtedly a hustler. A few weeks ago he went to Southern Oregon and disposed of a number of phaetons and several organs. He is closing out the vehicles in the establishment preparatory to converting the plant into an organ factory. Last Friday Mr. Kramer left for Southern Oregon again. He took a farm wagon and trailed five light vehicles behind it, making a train almost 1ike a train of cars. The gentleman evidently has the qualifications of a good business man and beyond doubt will make the Corvallis Organ Factory successful from a financial point of view as well as from an artistic standpoint. + [also in CZ] June 25, 1901 Transport enterprise organ-factory fruit outside-Tot CG 55 June 25, 1901 The carriage factory is to be again put into operation. It has a new owner, R. M. Cramer, of Dallas, Oregon. Last Saturday evening Mr. Thomas Jenkins disposed of the building and plant for $4,500, and is now speeding for his home in Illinois. Mr. Cramer is proprietor of the organ factory at Dallas and it is his intention to convert the carriage factory into a concern for the manufactury [print] of organs. He will arrive here in a few days and will employ a force of men to complete the unfinished vehicles now on hand. It is hoped that orders now being filled for organs at Dallas will be completed by fall, when the factory will be removed to Corvallis. Should it be found impossible to begin operations here at that time, the plant here will be running by the first of January next at the latest. A force of eight men are [print] now employed, but with the opportunities offered here for an increased out-put, a larger number of men will no doubt find employment. The Corvallis and Benton County Prune company which assisted Mr. Cramer in the purchase, has secured the big 90-horse-power boiler and 50-horse-power engine at the factory and will begin moving them to the big orchard today, where they will be used in operating a mammoth dryer with a capacity of from 1,200 to 1,500 bushels per day. This will be the largest dryer in the world. The orchard will probably yield 40,000 bushels of prunes this season, and the services of the big dryer as well as the old-two-tunnel [print] dryer will be required in curing them. Mr. Cramer will replace the engine and boiler with smaller machines. [M. does Cramer have anything to do with prunes at all, or just sold the factory machinery and will get new? prob this is true.] + [also in CZ] June 11, 1901 Pursuit character CG 55 June 11, 1901 One of the most ambitious young girls in this or any other town, is Miss Lura Flett. In order to pay her own expenses through college next year, she will shortly begin teaching a juvenile class in Indian club and dumb bell exercises. The desire to be self supporting [no hyphen in print] is a laudable one, and the youthful teacher should, and doubtless will, receive liberal encouragement. + June 11,1901. Outside-Srh outside-Tot CG55 June 11, 1901 On her up-river trip, Friday evening, the Ruth, in "kicking" over a river bar near Eola, had the misfortune to break a bucket out of her paddle-wheel. She undertook to reach Albany in her disabled condition, and succeeded in doing so, but her wheel kept going to pieces en route, and when she had arrived at Albany it was considered unwise to attempt to reach this city. Consequently, she remained there over night and left for Portland, Friday, being able to go down the river, while the condition of her wheel would = CG 55a not allow her to undertake to proceed farther up. She arrived at the metropolis all right. The trouble was that she was still carrying her deep water wheel that stuck down below the bottom of the boat. At Portland this wheel was readjusted and repaired suitable for operating in shallow water, which will permit her to remain on this run for some time yet. She was repaired in time to leave Portland Saturday evening, arriving in Corvallis Sunday. Yesterday she went down on her regular schedule and it is the intention to hold her as close to her old timetable as the stage of water at this season of the year will permit. + [also in CZ] = CG 56 Aug 6, 1901 Enterprise organ factory CG56 Aug 6, 1901 organ factory, large barn being constructed, b. [also in CZ] Condit CG56 Aug 6, 1901 R.E. Gibson and wife returned last week from a short business trip to San Francisco. Matters are pretty well tied up in the bay city, owing to the labor troubles now existing there. Thousands of tons of freight is waiting to be moved, but the teamsters are on a strike, and "green hands", have been pressed into service at wages ranging from $5 to $8 per day. Men are driving teams in San Francisco now who never before had a rein in their hands. Even the employers themselves are acting as teamsters. Mr. Gibson had business with a prominent wholesale merchant. He found the gentleman perched upon the seat of a ponderous truck, while a fat policeman rode beside him to afford protection. The truckmen are new at the business and little work is accomplished as the result of the expenditure of much effort. One of these amateurs loaded a truck with casks of wine. He neglected to stand them on end and when the truck started the wine rolled into the gutter. The strikers stove in the heads of the casks, took what wine they wished and the rest ran into the sewer. To the credit of the strikers there have been no acts of violence and it is hoped there will be none. A peculiar feature of the present trouble is that the strikers themselves have no real grievance. They have no fault to find with the amount of wages they receive, the number of hours they are required to work, nor the treatment they receive at the hands of their employers. The present movement resolves itself into an effort on the part of the unions to manage the business affair [print] of employers of labor. The employers are firm in their determination to deal with the employes [print] direct, while the employes insist on a full recognition of the unions. + [cp] World-news CG56 Aug 6, 1901 Empress Frederick [print several times] died; Germany.

This machine was only recently completed. Work on its construction was kept profoundly secret until it was ready to sail. The illustration shown herewith is reproduced from a photograph of the ship finished by the inventor last year. It is very much the same in size and construction as that used by Santos-Dumont. The apparatus is suspended from a huge cigar-shaped balloon not shown in the picture. The motor is a gasoline engine, which drives the shaft of the screw. The aeronaut sits in the saddle and starts the motor by means of a pedal and chain gear, as in the a case of a motorcycle. The gasoline is contained in the upper cylinder and in the lower and larger cylinder is a reservoir of water which is used as ballast. The capacity of the balloon which floats this [cont next pg] = CG 58 apparatus is 11,796 cubic feet, and the motor gives sixteen horse power.

Filled it nicely with eggs, and then Started to look for a likely hen -- Out of the flock selected one; And then she thought her work was done. It would have been, but this stubborn hen Stood up and cackled "Kadoot!" and then Maud Muller came, and in hurt surprise, Looked coldly into the creature's eyes. Then tied its legs to the box. "You bet," Said she, "I know how to make you set." But still it stood, and worse and worse, Shrieked forth its wrongs to the universe. Kicked over the box with its tinsel gay, And ignominiously flapped away. Then a bad boy over the barnyard fence, Tee-hee, "Say, Maud, there's a difference 'Tween hens, you know, and it is that One says 'Ka-doot' and the other 'Ka-dat ' " Then Maud recalled that the ugly brute She tried to set had said "Ka-doot!" And ever since that historic day, She blushes in an embarrased way, To think of the bobble she made once when She tried to set a gentleman hen! --Toronto Star.

Miss Babe Fischer, a winsome little lady not yet in her fifteenth year, gives evidence of exceptional talent. She displays rare taste and tact in rendition of each character entrusted to her and gives an intelligent interpretation. Mr. Covington can be depended upon for a painstaking and finished .performance, and the work of Bert Van Cleve and J.B. McCowell [print] has elicited much favorable comment. Of the other members of the cast, Eva VanCleve [print] deserves mention.

At five o'clock, having unloaded some freight and taken on part of a load she left the O R & N dock to steam up to Fischer's Flouring Mills to take on a lot of flour. The distance from the 0 R & N dock to the mill is nearly half a mile and when the Ruth was about half way to the mill she struck a snag and stove a large hole in her bottom. Just how large is not known, but it must be of fair dimensions, as in about two minutes she had swung about and grounded on the east side of the river. She lies very nearly across the river. She was in command of Captain Inman. It was still dark when the accident occured and the few passengers on board and part of the crew were considerab1y exercised, according to reports, and fancied that they had figured in a wreck that will make history. Aside from other items of freight there were fifteen tons of dried prunes aboard. This itself will form no small loss. The prunes belonged to Hugh Finley. Information regarding the affair was at once telegraphed the main office of the 0 R & N company in Portland and other boats were put on the route to take care of the freight during the time that will be consumed in getting the Ruth out of her present position and making the necessary repairs. + [also in CZ] = CG 63 Dec 22.1901 Outside-Srh CG63 Dec 22, 1901 Sketch of Holland submarine boat as it appears under water; Torpedo boat , Fulton, remains under water for period of time while firing; one of most remarkable tests in history of US navy was successfully made; while it was down, crew slept, ate, read, played cards; knew nothing of a fierce storm above which wrecked vessels.

Outside-Srh Ruth CG63 Dec 24, 1901 Friday morning the steamer Modoc arrived with a large scow to be used in the attempt to raise the steamer Ruth, which struck a snag in the river at this place last Tuesday morning and at once sank. Saturday morning the Modoc arrived with another scow and the work of raising the Ruth began at once. One of the large scows is placed above the Ruth, which lies almost directly across the stream, and the other scow is fastened on the lower side. Heavy timbers are placed across from one scow to the other above the Ruth, and chain and hawsers made fast to the sunken craft, and the work of raising is done by means of jackscrews. It is very slow work and has to be managed with great care. The OR & N company will pay for all damaged freight on board the Ruth at the time of the catastrophe. The company atttaches no blame to Captain Inman for the mishap, as the snag is supposed to have recently drifted into the channel. Just how badly the Ruth is damaged is not known. Of course, it is still a matter of conjecture as to the possibility of being able to take her to Portland if they succeed in raising her. Agent Thayer, of this city, states that raising the Ruth is going to prove very expensive. The steamer Modoc is obliged to remain here to act as a tender and there are about twenty-five experienced men employed at the task at present at high wages. The daily expense foots hundrends of dollars [pjrint] and before the Ruth is running again, a if ever she is, many thousands of dollars will have been expended on her. Mr. Thayer thinks that six weeks or two months will be consumed before the Ruth will be on the run again if everything is favorable and it is possible to save her. Should they succeed in getting her out of her present condition and devise means of taking her to Portland she will have to be placed in the dry dock and undergo repairs that will take several weeks.

She is expected to arrive this morning. Everything that can possibly aid in the work of raising the Ruth will be brought along. A diver's suit will be brought up so that in case it is necessary a diver can be sent down to investigate the state of affairs underneath the Ruth and possibly assist in placing chains beneath her to be used in hoisting. It is declared that when this large scow arrives they will be able to either raise her or pull her in two. There has been much speculation in the minds of a great many as to what the Ruth cost. A party of men were guessing at her cost a few days ago. There was a wide difference in the "landsmen's" guesses. They ranged from $3,000 to $110,000. It is a matter of truth that those who proved to be widest of the fact regarding the cost of the boat were the most positive that they were right. The Ruth cost $24,500. She was fitted with the very best machinery for a boat of her description. Her boilers had stood a cold water test of 450 pounds pressure. She was a splendid boat in many ways and was a favorite along the river. It is sincerely hoped that she can be saved. + [also in CZ] church Xmas misc-word?
