l Highway Not Damcgcd The flood

as yet done any damage, to the Colum

J. H. Scott, division engineer with
headquarters in this city, announced
this morning. In some places the high
way is built below the railroad tracks
and a flood, similar to that of ISO 1,
would probably wash out a consider
able amount of road, Scott said. The
highway is in no immediate danger,
however, ho added.

A Series of Human Interest
- Talks on Insurance v
Qrt- THE 0V
How Much
Insurance Should a
Farmer Carry?
The farmer of today is a3
much of a business man as any
other and figures things out
from that standpoint.
Suppose he owns a IGO-acro
farm valued at $100 per aero
and this farm is mortgaged for
$8,000.
The liquidation of that mort
gage besides making a living for
the family depends on him. If
he lives he will carry out his
contract. ....
Death may overtake him be
fore ho completes the contract.
A $10,000 policy payable to his
estate would clear the indebted
ness besides leaving ready cash
for funeral and administration
expenses.
Indebtedness not so protected
by insurance generally causes
the disposal of tho farm often
at a sacrifice in order to raise
cash.
Additional insurance should
also be carried payablo to tho
wife. Cash value can be used to
provide additional comforts for
old age if the fanner lives.
Premiums on an Oregon Life
policy stay here to be loaned on
farms.

Wreck Delays Train iPassenger
trains were held up for more than
six hours yesterday afterncon, when
a freight car loaded with coal be
came unruly near Ulalock, jumped
the track and tore up about lb rails.
An ofl'oit was first made by tho
wrecking crew to get the freight car
back upon the track again, but to
no avail. After working for nearly
four 'hours with tin big wrecking
crane sent from Tho Dalles, it was
finally decided to roll the car over
the embankment in order to allow
waiting passenger trains to got
through. No. 17, duo at 4:25 p. m.,
got into The Dalles at 10 o'clock
hist night. Passengers who viewed
tho wreck explained that Blalock
citizens will probably have all tho
coal they can uso for some time, as
tons of. it were scattered over the
ground.
Flood Pictures Interest Much In
terest is being manifested in four
old photographs of tho 1894 flood
in The Dalles which arc bclnj shown
in a window of tho Wasco county
hank. Tho pictures were loaned to
the hank by J." P. Mcinorny. One
of them shows the present silo of
the Lane and Sexton store, sub
merged halfway to the roof, another
the French and company bank, with
flat bottomed scows playing around
Hip- windows. A third shows the
waters around Third and Court
streets, and the fourth, taken from
Hrewery grade, pictures all Seeofd
street and the territory north to
(he river, flooded. In the picture re
lei red to as showing tho French and
company haul:, there is a big sign
on the building now occupied by the
Wasco county hank, showing that it
was then tonaut'vl by Th? Chtoniclo.
On a post in front of tho bank door,
there is a chip in the iron, about
rive feet above tho present pave
ment, indicating (lie maximum
height attained by tho waters on

The Pageant Story
Day by Day
The Emigrant Train
The emigrant train of 1S42 number
ed 120 wagons, nearly 1000 persons
and about 5000 animals. The company
was divided into two parties, of lit)
wagons each; one was composed of
those who had fow or no loose cattle,
and was called tho "light column,"
while the other was made up of the
ownets of the herds and was called
(lie "cow column," of which Jesse Ap
Plegnto was the leader. A captain, an
orderly sergeant and a council of nine
decided ail questions pertaining to
the government of tho train.
After tho day's march was over, the
guide, who had ridden In advance and
marked out tho circle led tho wagons,
which In turn wero followed by tlt'oso
behind until a complete circle was
formed, with each one connecting
witli the one in the front and rear
(the teams being Inside Iho circle);
lite teams wero unyoked, mid driven
out to pasture In a circle about the
wagon barricade. In hi minutes alter
Iho hall, this was done and every ope
was busy preparing Hies, pitching
tents and in various ways preparing
lor the night. The "watches began nl
'X o'clock in Hie evening and ended
at 1 o'clock In Hie morning," when
A,
tho sentinels discharged their rlllos
us a signal for the camp to come to
life again. Sixty men gathered In lite
horses and cattle, at the same time
looking carefully for mi signs )
night prowlers. By ,", o'clock the fidO'i
animals wore gathered Into the cor
ral ol wagons. At 7 o'clock breakfast
had been eaten, the tents and camp
j ing paraphernalia wero packed and
I all were again icady to rail In line;
j each wagon taking It's turn each dav
in lis position in the procositon.
J For !)S days this routine was tollow
I od. Fresh meat was occasslonully pr t
1 cured by small hunting patties, which
left t lie train for awhile to kill buffalo
when they could be found. The strict
est economy was used in conserving
Hie food. Detachments of Indian ; were
seen at ariotis limes, but the size Ml'
the train discouraged open hostility.
When, as sometimes- happened, a
member of the party became ill and
died, Hie bod' was burled In the road
that the Indians might have no knowl
edge of their diminishing numbers.
The hardships endured from storm,
Hood and unavoidable mishaps weie
very great. The well marked trail end
ed at Fort Hall on the eastern border
of the Oregon country. At tho insist-
-'iance of Nlnevali Ford
i road was
cut through the heavy timber of tho
'Blue Mountains. It Is said that, tho
sight of Iho peaceful Grande Rondo
valloy brought tears of joy to the
eyes of the travel-worn people.
Soin (lino was spent at. Wttlht Walla,
at tho Whitman mission, after which
the difficult journey down tho Colum
bia river was made.
