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

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
