Last week the Houthern Pacific overland train came nearly being wrecked near Iloscburg by, as the story was told, three men who re moved a mil on a high bridge, A tramp came along through the dark ness and seeing the situation, went up to Aug the Incoming train, but was set upon by the three would be wreckers and nearly beaten to death. In spile of his bleeding wounds he crawled np the truck and setting Are to his hand kerchief stopped the train. The loco motive was detutched from the passen ger train and came down the hill, but In spite of the warning ran off the track. Detectives were sent out at once to find the wreckers, and Id the meantime the trump O. Ji Illchard son, was the hero of thB hour, Now It appears that this Illchardsnn re moved the rail, himself Inflicted the wounds and did it all In order to get a reward, and that he did the same thing lust full by a Union Pacific train, and had received a reward.

My Agricultural Friend: Do not coins to Oregon, or across tha Ruckles lor that matter. I f you mutt emigrate, go Fst not West, do to Maine but not to Oregon or Washington. Tha writer la familiar with what lie talking about. He la not a real estate man and has no money to loan you after you sink what you already hav In real ea tout her. "Come, come, come," say tha proprt ton of Portland money pota, "Yes come you fat and Juicy Yankee with your plethoric pockethook, wt know how to squeeaa It. Already our old set tlers are getting aqueeaed dry under our utnpers. Coma and take their plaoea. They want to aeil out. Land Is cheap lu Oregon because men must sell or bt foreclosed. W know how to buy up legislatures to maka fat appropriations; (1100,000 for stata military, 110,000 for World's fair.) Wa know those taxes will make the farmers want to sell out cheap, We know the Chicago Ad. will bring us a fresh crop of Juicy farmers to buy them out. We know that our Yan kee fanner must have bis luxuries. We stand Id with tha It R fellows who want the Job exclusively of bringing those luxuries and Decenalties westward, V and the It, K fellows won't give manufacturers any hold to Oregon. Oh! no. That would give work to part of tlte farmer's family part of th y er. Then be would not want to borrow money, But we want to loan. Yea we do, Klght to ton tier eenU, no leas, I what tha Hhylocka of Oregon have agreed upon. Mon wou't fool with fac tories and mills with those Interest rates fluttering In their fact. Now my Buckeye fanner that Is the inside talk of the men who stand on tha Inside In thla fair land of Oregon Huppme you do aetl your wheat for forty to fifty cents per bushel, please consider the fact that you must cart it over some of the roughest roads In the world Think of lite blackstnithlng necessary to keep this up. Think of the heavy team necessary to do this work. I te rn era ber that local freight rats here are nearly four tltnea aa high a they are lu Ohio. Thua If you want to make a little by market gardening you cau not stand the preswure of tha freight ratea, Remember that to your family the rainy days of Onon will be Idle days, aud the rainy day are many aid the fair days few. Not much chance for making a few dollars ou the side unless It be lu logging oatnp, and If obliged to coma to Uial you may as well go to Maine or Miohlgansstocome bote. Not so nuch rain at those camps either. Don't think I run down the country. The soli of Oregon la all a farmer could desire, but the engineering of the squeezing machine la simply perfect lu Oregon. The aquoexcr succeed In queexlnga fresh, fat farmer bankrupt alKfiit as quickly and aa completely as the job can be done. As long as the East can provide the Juicy farmers, the machine will keep up Ita manipula tions. It Is not an Oregon specialty, I admit. It Is the regular, respectable way of the truly artiatlo money leaner; but seeing that you have the western fever I want to warn you distinctly and emphatically that I think the squeex Ing machine will get In Ita work on you If you and your plethoric pocketbonk cast their lot In Oregon. My tislgbbor who bus a farm to sell era hi mortgage matures objects strongly that a letter like this should be made publlo Ills reasons must be evident to you. To a certain extent It may be financially profitable to people already In Oregon to shipwreck Eastern farmers here, but It Is the wreckers trade tbey aid and abetwhen' they do this. A man who bus traversed other lands than theae and acquainted himself with the pros perity and poverty of the people won't stand up and howl himself hoarse over the advantages of thla laud If he feels contempt for little, mean, cowardly modes of living. It will not tickle him exceedingly to strand some hard-working Ohio farmer at the doors of Portland money loaners. If a man must" feed bogs for a living let it be the honest four legged hogs and not the glutton that gorge themselves on ten per cent, Remember there la no statUtlolan anxlou to score the sum of suffering connected with the Uvea of farmer who have stranded their few hundreds and thousands here. Reporters do not listen to their woes, their creditors are only Initiated by what they have to pay. Families cross those Rocky mountains with hearts aflume with hope, but later chapters of their liven, nine times out of ten, are whut they do not like to tell and what the reader hardly cares to hear. Generally they sink what they have and are compelled to stay here,! they are too proud to go East again. They try hard to argue themselves into the belief that they are Instter off here than there and they Huocced as memory grows dim, Dr. C. E. Boynton. , I Buena Vista, Oregon.

' (From our fibular irrmmdnt.) Washington, Mar. 81, 1898. Hetisatloii In tlie United Btatca' sen ate are "few and fur bet weeti," but there wa one of the first magnitude this week, when Henator Hoar ottered a res ol ii tlou d (recti ug the coiuml ttee on Pri v llege aud Elections toliivesllgute tlie ahargeof criminal embewtlement ojii ty aud publicly made against Henator Roach, of North Dakota. There bad been considerable talk alaiut the prob ability of such a resolution being offered ever since the extra session ojeied,iMJt somehow notxsly thought It would be done, most people being of the opinion that Henutor ltocb would make a per sonal explanation of his oounectloii with the alleged bank embezzlement. Indeed, It Is known that he did prom ise several weeks ago to make an expla nation, but he did not do It, aud the resolution waa offered. The question now is, what will the senate do about It? It cannot very well refuse to adopt the resolution, and the pmptailUon made by some of the supporters of (Sen ator Roach to enlarge tlie scope of the resolution by attthorlxing the commit tee to Investigate the antecedent of every senator seems too childish for se rious consideration. The charge Is not made against other senators, but solely agalust Mr. Roach. If there be other senators with black spot in their past the charge would be specifically made and their names aud the crime or crimes they are charged with Included In the Investigation resolution before It is passed. The matter is too important and too far-rvachiuu in Ita consequence and influence to be treated from a dem agogic, partisan, political standpoint Tlie honor of the senate Is at stake, and the people have aright to expect that scmiUir will do that which will main It, regardless of consequences to Indi viduals. It is not expected that the resolution will be taken up for action, although there are hints that It may be discussed in executive seettlon, until the oases of the senators appointed by the governors of Molilalia, Washington and Wyoming shall have been disputed of, and there la no certainty about how long the debate, now going on, will last, as the dliqwwltloii seems to be to discuss the constitutional question In volved in the matter lu the most thor ough maimer. HccMary Gresham raised a hubub In the iKqiartmeiit of Htaie this week by demanding the resignation of Dr. F. O. Kt, Clair, who ha for twelve years been chief of the Consular Bureau. The troulile seems to haw la-en thai Ht. Clair had got the Idea that he Individ ually, and not the government was running the Consular service of the country, and that he considered him self a permanent fixture and conse quently a bigger man thau the rsxre tary of Btate, who seldom remains In otllce aa much as four yearn. Great pressure bus bceu brought to bear on Secretary On-sham to reinstate St. Clulr who uaa a very strong "pull" with the big politicians, Irrespective of party, but greatly to his credit he haa refused. Bt. Clair's nstdence ia said to contain a very valuable collection of rare product and curios from all parts of the world, presented to him or his wife by thrifty consuls aud consular employes who shared his belief that he wus a bigger man than the Heeretiiry of Btate, and consequently must be kept In a good humor. . There was much disappointment among thiste friendly to the lulmr or ganizations of the country over the failure of Herman J. Behultiea, of Wis consin, to receive the nomination to be Superintendent of immigration, for which lie was very strongly endorsed and for which his friends lielievcd him to lie specially well qualified, but nil agree that ex-Congressman Stump, of Maryland who received the nomination and who was chiiirmun of the .House committee ou Immigration at the lust aesalou, is also well equipped for the position, having made a long study of tlie subject In all Its branches, and be ing the author of the new Immigration law which he will have to adminis ter. Still the retiring superintendent, exCongressiiiun Owen, of Indiana, did not make much of a success, and he had just retired from tlie chairmanship of the House committee on Immigration when he was appointed. Hut he had the misfortune to be on bad terms with his Immediate superior, the assistant secretary of the treasury, all the time he was lu office. The question of whether the influence of any one man, other thau President Clcvelund, Is certain of securing a pres idential appointment Is still uudecldcd. Senator Vila had been credited with this power, but his Influence was not strong enough to secure the tionumitlou of Schultlcs. and whut Is anld to hove been Vice-IVesldctit Stevenson's only recommendation was "turned down" at the White House tills week and the position asked for wasn't a very large one either. The fact is very plain, even plainer thau during hie first ad ministration, that while Mr. Cleveland listens at tentatively to what his would be advisers have to say, he acts to suit himself.
