Undor the direotlon of B. Camp bell, traffio manager of the 0. R. 6c N., some interesting experiments are being made by Col. R. C. Jud soti, Industrial agent for tbe com- pany. One of them is the use of salt 011 grain land to retain mois ture. Col. Judson, who has just returned from Blalook, Wash,, in reference to bis work, said to a reporter: "Back of Blalook, extending to Rock oreek and beyond, in a large area of grain land. Owing to tbe very heavy rainfall beginning in October and continuing up to the present time, tbe grain has thrived finely. The outlook for an extra good crop is favorable. "While at the farm I arranged with a couple of farmers to test tbe preservation of moisture in land by tbe use of salt. This is no new idea. It has been tried in the east. I shall salt tbe fields during the different stages of the growth of the grain and keep an accurate aooount for publication, so tbat farmers de siring to use it mav know how to go about it. These tests will show whether or not we oan retain mois ture in (he groun4 during the rip ening season. I find that in eastern Oregon the prevalent warm winds during ripening season, damage tbe orops. "Mr. Campbell, under whose di reotion I am working,4 has already purohased the salt, and it is now in storage ready for use. Tests will be made not only at the point men1 tioned, but also in tbe Walla Walla and Umatilla valleys. I shall use 300 pounds of salt to the acre." Among the Churches. PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

William Bartlett, a well known Bag llsb bnrglar, I the only man who ever sffected bis escape from Portland prfsv on, an escape which Is the original of tbat described in Bawley Smart's) novel, "Broken Bound." Bartlett total the story of bis escape to a reporter aar follows: i'';.', "The correct details of my escaoj); dare never been told," he said. 'Til -tell yon what actually happened. 1st 1868 I received a sentence of tea rearer penal servitude. From Pentonvtlle I wa taken to Portland. It was awfoL I made np my mind to escape a feat never before accomplished. One day I managed to pick np a small piece ot hoop Iron. That seemed like a godsend. Every time I had the chance I took ' tbat Iron hooping with me, and worked like a nigger to make It Into a saw. I did It In fear and trembling, for the slightest sound would have betraje me. A stroke of tuck awaited me. I found a convict who had got a little bit of a file. He bad no ambition and eatdi the file was no good to blm. I gava ... him my dinner for It, and with the 01 I was able to complete tbe saw, Then I managed, by working stealthily ev ery evening after I bad been locked up for the night, to saw through tbe wood flooring of my ceu. Every nlgbt I naa - to replace the boards, so that tbe ward- erg should not see what I had dona. Then an awful disappointment await ed me. Tbe space beneath my cell wear lined with sheet Iron; but, nothing daunted, I eventually got through that. Then I got into an alrshaf t, and after ' three months' bard work saw my war clear to liberty. j "At last tbe opportunity came. It was a dark nlgbt, and au waa exiu. With my sheet I bad made a rope, and, as lnck would have It, I had pick ed up a piece of wood, called a 'dog.' f with iron books at each end. I pot my : stool underneath tbe quUt, to look a much Uke my body aa possible In eaae the warders' should look In, and then went down tbe passage It bad taker -me three months' hard labor to make. After lifting an Iron grating I fonad myself in the open air and managed ta throw the hook on my linen ladder , , over a walL By this means I got oa to the roof of the officer" quarters." There was no one about, and the only sound could bear was that made by my - beating beast. From the roof I bad to - 1 jump on to the boundary wall, about . 10 or 12 feet distant I dare say It was . bold leap, but you don't tick at trifles when you are escaping front Portland. I made the leap and waa . successful In reaching the boundary wall. Then I got to the ground by means of my linen ladder. Unfortunately tbe hooka were ao ae- cure tbat I had to leave the ladder . where It was, and If It had not been. for that I might have been in London in three or four days. As It was, I had an awful experience. While making a desperate tug at the ladder I heard : footsteps approaching, and I rushed into the garden of the grove pubUor house., I turned round and saw guard looking at the ladder. A few minutes afterward shots were fired, , and a bell was rung. My escape had been discovered. Guards were running by in all directions; but, unpercelvedV I got through the window of the Ho- :, man CatboUc chapel and concealed my self beneath the communion table, which proved to be something very much like a box. I could hear the sound of hurrying footsteps all nlgbt; but no one came Into the cbapel until - the next morning, when service waa held there. 'It was not a pleasant position to be In, I can assure you. A sneeze or a cough would have betrayed me, but fortunately all went well. But I got very hungry. So at tho end of about hours I stole out and broke Into the Clifton hotel. I there found some bread and meat, cheese and tobacco. What was of more consequence, I waa able to steal a hat and some clothes. With ' the clothing and the food the sweetest food I ever tasted I returned to my hiding place In the cbapel. Out of a black coat I saade a pair of trousers), and put on another of the stolen coata, which happened to be made of velvet., Tbe food I divided Into six portions, and for six days I was concealed be neath that . communion table. There were frequent services, and, what waa " still worse, the priest used to come In at night tor private devotions. "At last I bad more than enough of It and broke Into tbe priest's house with the object of obtaining some mon ey. I could find none, however.. There -was some stiver plate, but that waa of no use to me. I obtained a white stole, however, and with that made some thing resembling a shirt ' Feeling now fairly confident as to my appearance, I walked down the road and saw a milkman, who I afterward found gave Information about me. At a little place 10 miles from Portland I concealed my self In a field. Two men came In blackberrylng, and I had to get out They asked me where I was going. I satd to Blandford. "They volunteered to show me the way, but we had not gone very far before we met two police Inspector. They asked me to go Into a publlo house and give an account of myself. They wore particularly anxious to know If I had a mark on my right arm. Seeing the game waa almost up, I tried to dash through the public house, but It was no good, and I waa collared. - was afterward sentenced to - eight" years' penal servitude for the burglary at the Clifton hotel."
