• SOME POTATOES: Mr. E. M. HALL a worthy citizen and acquaintance of ours, lives back some ten or twelve miles northeast of this place, in that identical region of country, where some people in their laudable desire to persuade immigrants from settling at this place, have represented that nothing was ever known to grow here except fir trees. Mr. CROSNO, a late emigrant, happened to find his way out to Mr. HALL'S. Mr. HALL in order to relieve Mr. CROSNO from the contagion with which he had become slightly affected while traveling on the Columbia river, pulled up from his patch a single stalk from which he weighed 24 pounds of mealy, well-grown potatoes. Mr. CROSNO went away apparently well satisfied that the land in that neighborhood was reasonably well adapted to production of potatoes as well as fir trees.

BOY HURT WHEN STRUCK BY AUTO
Lewis Richardson Has Close Call From Death Monday Evening
While attempting to cross Beeson street at the intersection of Fifth street Monday evening about 6:30 o'clock, Lewis, the seven year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Merle RICHARDSON was seriously injured by being struck by a car driven by Miss Sophia BELZ. Miss BELZ was driving home from town and as she approached the intersection of the streets, Lewis started to cross on a run ahead of the car. A companion called to him that the car was coming and the little fellow turned about and as he did so turned his ankle, falling into the car. The rear wheels of the car ran over his left hand and leg and the side of his head was badly bruised, for contact with pavement when falling.
The boy was carried to his home a short distance away and Dr. MCMAKIN summoned. The physician found no bones broken, although his limbs were badly bruised. The injuries that concerned the doctor most was the bruised on the left side of his head. But no permanent injuries will result, according to the doctor, and the little
fellow is getting along fine at this writing.
No blame is attached to anyone for the mishap, and Mr. and Mrs. RICHARDSON are most thankful the results are not of a more disastrous nature.

The Vancouver Register, December 9,1865:
Young Ladies' School -- It may not be known to everybody interested in such matters that we have a school in town for young ladies and misses. Such a school was opened by Miss E. J. YORK, some three months ago, in the Methodist church, for want of another more suitable place. She has procured suitable rooms and just commenced her second term in the second story of Mr. TOMLINSON'S residence on North Main street. We can recommend Miss YORK with pleasure and confidence as a lady and competent teacher, and her school as a public want. Our school fund is sufficient to furnish us the luxury of a free school but three or four months in the year, and from its promiscuous character and deficient classification, is not well suited to the wants of that class of scholars which Miss YORK teaches. We trust she will be well sustained by the citizens of town, and by those of the country who may find it desirable and convenient to send their daughters to town to school, and that her school will become a permanent and growing institution.
Distressing and Fatal Accident
Mumford LAWS, a youth about 17 years old and son of Mr. Preston LAWS, on of our most worthy citizens, was killed by the accidental discharge of a gun on Thursday, the 30th of November. Young LAWS was some 12 or 14 miles from home at the time, and was out gunning in the company of a young man by the name of SHUBERT no doubt in a playful mood, but in a manner highly culpable for one of his age, especially in view of the fact that he had done the same thing before and been warned that it was dangerous, punched the deceased, or punched at him, with the muzzle of his gun, at the same time holding the breech under the skirt of his coat to protect the lock from a sprinkle of rain. The lock becoming in some manner entangled with his coat as is supposed, the contents of the gun, which we are informed was something of a heavy ball, were discharged with fatal effect in the body of young LAWS. The ball entered near the center of the bowels and passed out above the point of the hip and near the backbone. The accident occurred about 3 o'clock p. m. The young man was carried to the house of Mr. D. R. FALES, where he died the next morning at one o'clock.
May the deeply afflicted family, and especially the father and mother, be sustained in this hour of their sad bereavement, by a faith that knows no wavering, and a hope full of consolation.
PUBLIC SCHOOL -- We are requested by the Directors to state that the public school for the winter term will commence next Monday. Mr. MOWDER, Mr. CURTIS, and Miss Lydia MCCARTY have been employed as teachers. Two of the teachers will occupy the District school house and the third some other. The arrangements are not fully arranged, but if all desiring to attend will meet on Monday morning at the District school house, they will be provided for.

• DIED IN THE ASYLUM---James BARRON, who was sent from here to the insane asylum at Steilacoom on August 2nd 1876, die in that institution on the 21st of December. He at one time owned a farm at Union Ridge, in this county, which went for his support in the asylum.
• LUMBER YARD---L. C. PALMER of this city has started a lumber yard at Alkali, Oregon, some distance for the Dalles. All the lumber in his yard was cut by Clarke county mills, and he started in last week with 300,000 feet on hand. There is a market there for all the lumber our mills can produce at present.
• WASHOUGAL---J. K. C. DURGAN, in accordance with his announcement, has commenced the building of his new store, which will be a large and fine structure. The dressed lumber is furnished by mills in Vancouver, and the rough lumber from ROTT'S mill on Cape Horn mountain. Much of the lumber is on the ground already.
• DIED SUDDENLY---Mrs. DREW, a hard working woman of this city, died quite suddenly on Thursday night. She had done a washing the day before, and in the evening at a neighbor's complained of feeling badly. She went home and retired. Some time during the night the husband woke up and found her dead, in the bed beside him. The cause of her death was probably heart disease.
• OBITUARY---Died, Mill Plain, Thursday, Dec 20th, A. J., son of John and Mary CORLESS, aged 22 years, 2 months, and 29 days. His death was immediately caused by lung disease, which resulted from severe sprains and bruises, received in an encounter with an unruly steer some three years ago. "Jack" as he was familiarly known, was liked by everybody, and had just as many friends as he had acquaintances. His early death, in what should have been life's most joyous period, casts a gloom over family and friends, which only time will dispel.
• MARRIED--- At the residence of the bride's parents, December 23d, 1883, by S. C. HARRIS, J. P., Mr. Charles DALY and Miss Mary CRAMER, all of Clarke county.
The Vancouver Independent, December 28, 1899:

The funeral services will be held at St. James Cathedral, at 10 o'clock a. m. on Friday.
• PRESENTATION---The new smile worn by W. B. PATTERSON is accounted for in the fact that the members of the Vancouver City Brass Band on Christmas day presented him with a beautiful carved meerschaum pipe.

DEATH OF M. WINTLER
It is a very painful duty for us this morning to announce the death of one of our most respected and prominent citizens, Mr. Michael WINTLER, which took place at the Good Samaritan Hospital, Portland, last evening. His death resulted from injuries received in a fall upon some railroad iron on Washington Street wharf on Tuesday evening, to say that our citizens are sadly shocked by this sudden occurrence does not begin to express their feelings, for this city is in mourning over the event, and the sympathy of the entire community is with the bereaved family in their terrible affliction. Mr. WINTLER was a man of generous impulses, enterprising, and possessed of the most strict integrity. His death is a public loss.
Fatal Accident
-- We regret to learn by Wed's Oregonian that Mr. N. HENRICKSON of Forest Grove, Or. was killed on Saturday. Mr. HENRICKSON was feeding a threshing machine run by water power when, from some disarrangement of defect in this machinery, the cylinder burst, a portion striking him on the head inflicting a terrible wound form which he died in a few hours.
Mr. HENRICKSON was a native of Denmark. He emigrated from the old country to this, and settled in Vancouver in 1858 where he had lived until some two years ago, when he moved to Forest Grove. Mr. HENRICKSON like most of those who emigrate from the old country, was reared in poverty. After leaving there he succeeded in making some money, which he generously employed in bringing one of his brothers to the country and place of his adopting. The two brothers thus brought together, worked for money with which, much to their credit, they brought a third. Mr. HENRICKSON was well known here and highly esteemed as an enterprising and worthy citizen. Our community perhaps without a single exception will feel truly sorry to hear of his death. He was unmarried and about 30 years of age.
