L. H. Campbell, a brother of the chief
engineer of the D. P. & A. N. Co., is in
the city, and has the model of a, agon
train, which promises to inaugurate a
new era in the transportation - business
on wagon roads. Six miniature wacons,
trailed one behind another, kept track
as perfectly as does a train of care on the
railroad. They were circled in an S
shape around a chair and a cuspidor and
each wagon moved in the identical track
made by its predecessor. This' inven
tion was by Mr. Campbell, and .in con
nection with a traction engine, be claims
that fifty tons of freight may be, hauled
at a speed of five miles an hour over any
ordinary road.
Mr. Campbell selects this field as the
proper one to establish a transportation
company, on account of the immense
wool and wheat interests tributary .to
The Dalles. An equipment capable of
hauling 100 tons a day would cost ap
proximately, he believes, $10,000. Three
men would be employed, and the total
daily expense would be far less than that
required to haul the same amount of
freight. Grades of one foot in twelve
can be accomplished easily.
The plan proposed by Mr. Campbell is
already employed in California. It
is in practical use for hauling salt from
the mine of the Crystal Salt Co. to
Dan by, a station on the Atlantic & Pa
cific Ry., a distance of thirty miles.
Previous to the advent of the engine it
was impossible to get the salt to market,
except by team hauling. With the
traction engine and wagon train 33 to 38
tons are hauled at a trip. More could
be hauled If it were not for a number of
grades to ascend, some of which are 10
to 12 feet in' a hundred.
Mr. Campbell went to Goldendale to
day to ascertain the feeling of the peo
ple, and if they enter Into the plan with
any degree of alacrity efforts will be
make to inaugurate a etock company,
with all the rights and privileges of any
other kind of a transportation company,
and with a capital stock ol $10,000. Mr.
Campbell will return to The Dalles- on
.Saturday. -''

MOST REMARKABLE.
A Man fjses the Track for a Pillow and
Not Hurt by the Train.
Mr. E. B. Burns, who was a passenger
on No. 2 last night from Portland, tells
of one of the most singular experiences
that ever happened in the .annals of
railroading, which occurred about two
railed west of the Locks. " " ' '
Mr. Burns said he knew something
was wrong by the way the train was
slowing up. .. While sitting in the seat
he could feel the inclination of his body
to go forward, while the seat he was sit
ting on did not yield to the demand. He
therefore knew the lull pressure of air
was being used to stop the train as sud
denly as possible. He left the seat and
went out the car and met the fireman
with a lantern walking toward the rear
of the train. The fireman met the con
ductor between the chair car and first
sleeper, and pulled a man out from
under the train, who bad evidently been
in a heavy stupor from the effects of
whisky. He could not stand steadily,
but staggered around, as men will whose
brains are paralyzed by too much alco
hol in their stomachs? He was asked if
he was hurt, and replied in the negative.
The conductor remarked, "Well, that
beats anything I ever saw," and prob
ably he was correct. The conductor
asked him where he was going, and in a
voice scarcely coherent he replied he was
going home. . No information could be
gained from him in the state he was in,
and the trainmen could not linger any
way, so they started him to traveling
and pulled out.
The fireman said be noticed the man's
head move on the track ahead, and the
engineer tried bard to stop the train be
fore reaching him. His head was lying
across the track on a bundle, It and the
track being need as a pillow, but bis
body was outside the rail. The tender
must have struck the bundle and thrown
bis head aside, but was . protected
enough by the bundle not to injure him
