C f r, $1.25 to O.JU FUEL OIL GIVES OUT AND S. P. TRAIN IS STALLED ON PRAIRIE Enginemen Look Longingly at Old Abandoned Wood Tipples, but Cars Wait Until Switch-Engine Comes to Kescue. TRAIN NO. 1. the Corvallis Cannon Ball, due to arrive In Portland at 5:60 P. M. over the West Side di vision of the Southern Pacific, was stalled rear Bertha the other day for three hours, reaching the city late In the even ing. The pause In the mad career of the flyer was due to a lack of forethought on the part of the engineer or fireman, or whoever It Is that Alls the tank on the tender with fuel oil. for the supply was exhausted and there was no more to be had on Tualatin Plains. The engine ran as long as there was oil In the tank, but when the supply ran out the train stopped. Automobiles have a habit of doing likewise, and the best regulated engine could do no more. For a time there Vas much speculation In railroad dries at Bertha as to what caused the fast train to halt on the track near the town when the local agent had riot requested the train crew to remain. The engineer and fireman were as much nonplussed as anyone over the antics of the engine, and it was only after an In vestigation that it was found that the oil tank was dry. Then It was that the enginemen looked longingly at old, abandoned wood "tip ples" still standing beside the track, but spurned by passenger trains for the newer fuel. The engineer cursed the transfor mation of his Iron horse into an oil burner, and bewailed his lot In having so much wood at hand and being unable to use It. Meanwhile the passengers sat cosily In their seats while dusk darkened into night. The lights of Bertha twinkled across the plain and many on the delayed filer were reminded of dinner engage ments and sundry other things they had intended to keep when they set out on their uncertain journey. Incidentally they became hungry, but the crack train of the West Side division, in the interests of speed, carries no dinner, and the hungry were unsatisfied. But the belated passengers found that even the longest wait, like everything else, comes to an end, and a little, foolish swlth engine, used to shunt trains around the yards, and never venturing farther from Its own stable than the round house, was sent -out to Bertha, to drag the late train in. The engineer and fire man of the filer hung their Meads In shame at being thus hauled lgnopnlnlously home. COMMITTEE NOT ON HAND Meeting to Wind Up Gas Investiga tion 1acks Quorum.

Pheasant Strays Into ; the City Hall : Beautiful Game Bird Tnkm Refuse In Bn.ement and Is Captured by Janitor Slinmona. "TV BEAUTIFUL, cock Chinese pheasant r which had strayed far from its natural haunts In the wheat fields and tinderbrash, trying to find a place of refuge in a big city, became entrapped In the basement of the City Hall last night. It was captured by Sylvester C. Simmons, head Janitor of the building, who proposes to add It to the colony of pheasants at the City Park. Mr. Simmons heard a noise in the base ment of the building last evening. He was uncertain whether It was a burglar preparing to penetrate the innermost re cesses of the vaults above or simply a dog or cat, and decided to Investigate. H was greatly surprised when he found after capturing it with difficulty, that it was one of Oregon's fine game birds. The pheasant was brought into the Council room, where the gas investigat ing committee was in session, and was greatly admired by the members. The bltd, all a-quiver with fright, was placed In a email canary cage. With one sweep of Its wings it completely demolished the cage, hut was recaptured. It was con fined in a box and will be sent to the City Park today. RECEPTION TO.MRS. UNRUH Many White Ribboners Gather to Honor W. C. T. V. Worker.
