I Mr-
nas bei
LoomiB of Cincinnati, Ohio, who
been making a tour of : the Inland
Empire, was particularly struck by the
beauties of a choice lot of apples which.
he found at Dayton,"; Wash., and he
made a purchase, shipping them via XJ.
P. R. R. to Portland.; His apples are
here in a freight car, frozen as hard as
rockB, with no locomotive power to
carrv them to their destination. Such
is life on the U. P.
Claim Agent D. E. Hall, of the U. P.
R. is here adjusting settlements on ac
count of live stock killed by locomotives.
He has one claimant at Cascade Ixcks
who puts in his "claim" in poetic style,
andjsigns himself "the only philosifer
on top of the earth." This "philosifer"
claims that he would clear the track by
his magic hand, for a ronnd trip ticket
to the Chicago fair, hotel expenses and
twenty dollars. Hall has referred the
documents to Baxter.
Congressional reports show that Mr.
Herman is urging his bill to create
Crater lake park in Oregon. Crater
ke is eight by four miles in area,- 2,000

Through ,Mr-. Herman s efforts several
townships in -the vicinity of this lake
were reserved under President Cleve
land's administration. The proposed
Crater lake park" will embrace nearly
500,000 acres.

Movement of Trains.
The 3:05 a. m. train today, ' Fowler
conductor, arrived here from the east
for breakfast at 8 :15 a., m., and remained
in The Dalles yard all day.
- The 4:20 p.-m. train west bound,
Miller conductor, yesterday left The
Dalles headed by three locomotives at
9:30 p.m., but went no farther than
Hood River. It was lacked up to The
Dalles again this afternoon, and mails
transferred for Portland via Spokane
and the N. P. R.' :; .
A castte train of eighteen care, headed
by three locomotives, left The Dalles
yesterday afternoon for Portland, but
laid up in the enow at - Bonneville,
which was cold comfort for the hungry
beeves on board. It was thought here
to-day that the cattle would be turned
loose and left to shift for themselves
rather than to freeze to death in the
cars.
The snow plow from Pooatello, re
ported at Umatilla at 9 a., m. today.
She was between Umatilla and Willows,
disabled by a broken shaft. Oa receipt
of this news a gang of men were collected
and sent to the scene of the blockade be
tween here and Portland, leaving at 12
o'clock noon, to dig the way open, if
possible. The crew are provisioned for
emergencies.
A coal supply train, due here on Wed
nesday from Yortland, made three un
successful attempts and was finally

A Monument correspondent savs the

An engineer who wart standing on. the
track at Umatilla with bis locomotive,
when the battle between the i east, and
west winds occurred "at the finish" on
Wednesday, says it was one of the
fiercest contests he ever saw. The east
wind would swoop" past him on one side
down, while the west wind went whist
ling up on the other side, each'racing at
the rate of 75 miles an hour, and almost
literally filling the air with sand. Thin
lasted for half an hour or more, when
the west wind give it up, aud the eastern
current proceeded toward The Dalles at
railroad speed. Sand as blown over
the locomotive to the depth of half an
inch. j. ' . , ' -:

A farmer from the interior of Wasco
county came to the city last Saturday
with a few head of horses which he ex
pected to ship to. Portland by the Regu
lator line. Having overlooked- the no-
tine that the steamer ? would i be hauled
off on that day he attempted to arrange
for shipment by the U. P. R.f- when he
found that the difference in cost wae
actually ; prohibitory. He could, not
stand the tariff, and so sent the animal
hack to the farm, to wait until the boats
resume trips. ; He has a band' of, young
cattle in the valley which he will bring
up to turn out on his range, but he will
also wait for the boats now", to make
tfiat shipment. Thus it is that .the U.
P. R "system" make friends for the
mad.
