Raglans Line Up.
The personnel of the team so far as
players have been signed up and as
given out by the manager last night fol
lows: V. 1 Crydennan, of tlio lato
Midland League, is a pitcher and out
fielder, lie is represented as being a
good hitter, with an average of S17 last
year; Thomas Downio, the speedy little
Indian second baseman who played
with the Raglans last year and
made such a good record, will either
hold down second or third base this
year; Fred Nehring, of Centralia,
Washington, who was oa his way to
Seattle to try-out with tho Wilson's
leagures, will play first base and out
field He is over six feet tall and is
recommended ss a heavy sticker and a
good man at the first station. Carl
Lewis, late of Santa Barbara, Cal., but
who played with Denver in tho Western
League last year will wear the mask and
make garden in the outfield ; Peacock
is imported from tho Canadian League
of Iasi year where ho held down tho
short-stop position with the Toronto
team. He comes with a splendid recom
me:. datum as a fast player and a heavy
hitter.
Frank Sueies from Portland, will be
sssnigtitd to either the catcher's position
or first Lase. Jack Aricks, with the
Southern California League last year, is
a pitcher and an outfield. Ward Leo of
Oregon City, who is considered one of
the fastest outfielders among tho ama
tours on the Pacific coast, and lias a
good reputation as a sticker, will "bo
given a chaiice to show las ability in
fast company this year, and E. Calif!,
also of Orecon City, has a well known
reputation as a twirler and a good bat
ter and ho will occupy the box. So far
he is the onlv general utility man the
Salem management has signed. Last,
but not least, comes "Buff Lucas, the
'southpaw" twirler who did good work
for the Raglans last year, will be given
another chance this vear. Manager
Edmondson says that he has not decided
as yet what position he wih play but he
thinks he will occupy eecond bag unless
he finds that he has a better man for
the position in hie line-op.
"Foxy" Teabo, the speedy catcher,
and general utility man for tho Raglans
last year, will be given a try-out thia
year and will probably bo given a posi
tion on the team as will also Rube San
ders, the big and sure outfielder. The
manager states that ho has applications
from about fifteen other good men who
arc anxious to get on the team and they
will all report on April 11, at their own
expense, for a try-out. All of the play
ers have been given notice to put in an
apiearauce on April 11 for practice in
order to get into condition befor the sea
son opens. If there is any change to be
made on the team it probably be in the
outfield.
A Wise Decision.
A special from Salem say6 : The do
mestic animal commission today direct
ed the state veterinarian to kill all
horses in eastern Oregon found to be af
flicted with the plague of contagious dis
eases
The action was taken on tho report of
the veterinarian that in the territory
surrounding Castle Rock more than COO
liorsea run at large which are infected
with disease, and that it is threatening
to spread to other domestic animals.
The horses ;n question are the property
of the Umatilla Indians who reside on
the reservation.
The state board has determined to
protect the set tiers' stock at all hazards.
It is feared the Indians will not take
kindlv to the wholesale destruction of
their horses, but unless quick action is
taken an epidemic of disease may cost
thousands of dollars damage to other in
nocent stock owners.
For Good Roads,
A report that the penitentiary author
ities intend to try an experiment, by
using convict labor to better the roa Is
between the various state institutions
has had the effect of renewing the dis
cussion regarding the use of convicts for
publ c road making. This is a matter
in which every one should bo interested
for if convicts can bo successfully work
ed on the public roads then labor will
be expended in such a way as to be a
direct benefit to tho public and at tho
same time it will not throw their labor
in competition with that of tho man
who depends on his daily labor for a
livelihood.
Our pet theory regarding tho matter
is to arrange the convicts, those which
it is thought advisab'e to tako without
the walls of the penitentiary, in groups
of 25, 50 or 100 each and then let them
to the county bidding tho highest for
their service. Tho state authorities un
der such an arrangemont, could supply
the necessary guards and equipment for
camping and boarding tho men while at
work, leaving tho superintendent of tho
work the only thing to bo dono by tho
counties. Under such an arrangement
when ono county was through with
them, tliov could movo on to another
that desired their services. If by fol
lowing his plan, tho state only receive
sufficient to pay tho additional expense
caused from taking them from the walls
of the penitentiary the state will bo
none tho less better off while tho work
on tho roads will be of lasting benefit to
the public. Lebanon Criterion.

ENGINEER AND FIREHAN
She Was Under Orders to Back into Oakland and act as Helper to the South'
Bound Extra freight When she turned Over-What the;
'Erarefcr and Fireman hare to Say.
What might have been serious
wreck occurred at 1:20 p. m., Satur
day, a quarter of a mile north of the
corporate limits of Roseburg. Light
Engine No. 21SS, in charge of Engi
neer E. J. Stroud with Geo. Thomp
son as fireman, left the rails and
turned completely over, and is now
clear of the main line on its back, the
wheels and trucks of the wreck are
on a level with the track.
The place where the wreck occured
is the old fill which was formerly a
bridge between the cut and Gaddis
Bn3. Dairy.
The wrecked engine left this city
at 1:16 p. m., and wa3 under orders
to back to Oakland and act as helper
on a southbound extra treighu lie
fore leaving this station, Engineer
Stroud said that it was almost suicide
to run backwards faster than twen
ty miles an hour. He pulled out of
thi3 station at a moderate rate of
speed and everything went well until
they rounded the curve north of this
place and started on the almost
straight track on the old fill, when,
without warning, the rear trucks of
the tender left the track. Stroud at
once attempted to bring the engine
to a stop. Both he and Fireman
Thompson immediately started for
the gangway as the engine seemed to
slide to the north side of the track;
it balanced here for a moment and
they jumped out on the north side as J

were mired into tlu earth with but
little damage. The tender was twisted
by being jammed against a telegraph
pole which arrested the further turn
ing over of the wreck. The rear
trucks of the tender are torn loose
and the pony truck of the engine is
broken. The tender was not discon
nected from the engine, but the coal
was scattered all over the gully just
out of the right-of-way. The entire
engine still remains on the railroad
right-of-way.
Engineer Stroud and Fireman
Thompson were seen at the depot by
a Plaixdealeu representative after
the wreck, and when asked how it
it happened Mr. Stroud said: "It is
impossible to say. This is just one of
those 'things' that 'happen.' It was
all over before we knew it; thats all"
Mr. Thompson agreed with Mr. Stroud
and that is all. The fact that the en
gine was stopped is shown by the con
dition of the track after it left
the rails. It traveled only about
60 feet until it tipped over. The
rails at the scene of the wreck are
badly worn, and look to one not accus
tomed to railroading as if it wouH be
easy for engines to climb thesi more
frequently than they do.

Lavverence Curtis spent a few days in

day evening for his home at Harrisbarg.
With bis father and brother, Mr. Curtis
k interested in an asbesto mine on
?Urvcoot creek in the Cow creek dis
trirt. 1 he property is under develop
ment and gives promise of becoming a
valuable mine. The asbestos has been
tested awl shown to be of high quality.
It has a good fiber-and while the extent
of the deposit has not yet been definitely
ascertained theindicatioas are that there
is a very larje body of the valuable
mineral. Asbestos occurs very frequent

mineral heretofore discovered has been
of too short a fiber to be of commercial
value. Rogue River Courier.
