Rairoad row has a story to tell on "Jim" Corbett, chief dispatcher in this city, and "Bob" Newlln, who with a party of La Grande people have been fishing in the Wallowa. The story relates the details of au acci dent in the river yesterday, which, just as luck would have it, occurred at the time Harry Grady and his crew came along on the "jerkwater". In some way which the story does not explain, Mr. Corbett and Mr, New lln became marooned on a huge rock in a particularly swift spot In the river, nnd to swim across to terra flrma was out of the question, while wading was equally impossible. It is said that they had spent the heat of the day on the same rock when Ed Eckley rambled along the shore, fish ing. Just prior to the time that the train came along, Mr. Eckley had pro cured a rope of some sort, and hero ically risking his life, seized the rope between his determined molars and dropping into the whirling, seethini. roaring current, struck out nobly for the marooned fishermen. At this juncture Mr. Corbett spied No. 31. ' an1 fiAmmonml n Inotu it screeches Intended to be wireless dis tress signals, and failing in that com menced a ra-ta-ta-tat on the rock with his jack-knife, thinking some telegrapher on board the train misht catch the "H. O. S." But crue Brady and grinning Pete Thieson tarried not in the least. With the rone between his teeth. ! Mr. Eckley was still struggling with the rapids, and Corbett and Newlln were still appealing for rescue from the train crew when old 31 tooted around the bend and was gone. UNCLE SAM'S STAMPS. Wonderful Collection In the Postoffice Department Museum. The fact tbut nearly all men at some time were stamp collectors Is said to account for the popularity of ihe offl cial stamp collection of the Uuited States postoffice department maintain ed In connection with the postal mu seum in Washington. Postoffice de partment officials say 100.000 men call every year to see the museum stamp collection. The postoffice department museum la full of interesting objects: It con tains almost everything from a lock of Charles Gulteau's hair to models of the big battleships of the navy, but by far its most interesting feature, ac cording to the officials tu charge, is the stamp collection. Few visitors miss that sight, and many "hobbyists" spend hours poring over It. Uncle Sam as a stamp collector is a most signal success. He not only has a complete set of bis own stamps, but a complete collection from every otbor stamp issuing country in the civilized world as well. His collection is val ued by the department at $".00,000. but stamp denlers say It would de mnnd a figure many times that sum If placed on the open market for sale. The fact that Uncle Sam's stamp collection Is absolutely complete la u statement difficult to comprehend, even to those who have been collectors themselves. Most of those who were collectors in years gone by will re member how many empty places there were in their albums when they glo ried In the possession of 1.500 and 2.000 specimens. They will recall how many new varieties above the '2,000 mark cost from $5 to $50 each; also the small fortunes placed on some of the specially rare specimens, the kind ! which the dealers' catalogues related had been printed only to the number I of 100 or so aud but six or seven were : known to be In existence. Well. Uncle Sam's stamp collection ' possesses all of these, besides the thou ! sands of common kinds. Although it has taken hard work, many years and a tidy fortune to do it. the collection today stands absolutely complete. The only varieties yet to be added are those yet to be issued. -Baltimore American. "I always dress according to the weather." "I haven't as large a wardrobe as thaf'-Pittsburg Post.
