Its operator nodded and grinned broadly at the rirl, raised his left hand which held a photo ' flash reflector, grasped the camera bulb In, his right band. A white lurid light flared for a fraction of an instant in which the glaring il lumination of the concourse : was dimmed to a garish yellow. The in finitesimal click of the camera shut ter waa lost in the pandemonium of sounds surrounding it, but the ac tion had recorded the first Incident of importance in Ja-xie Cameron's exciting adventure in the interest of the Star-Tribunel .

Other passengers had come out of tht ear onto the platform, also con versing with those who were Wait ing to speed their departure. Sev eral had watched tht incident from inside the car. A man stood in the open doorway. He pushed the screen forward and came . out as Jaxie faced him. Their glances met and caught briefly as he held the door for her. When she had passed him and entered he turned and watched her progress through the club ear to the corridor. - Passengers .who had settled, themselves and their bag gage earner already ruled the arm chairs and divans of .tha ear TKoiv eyes -followed: Jaxie,.

" s ' In the corridor of the next car she stepped aside to permit another girl to pass a girl who was very blonde, very pretty and very nonchalant Her wide blue eyes appraised Jaxie for a moment with an air of con descending hauteur, then she swag gered on into the club car. - "Not bad . looking Jaxie re flected, accustomed to cataloguing people at a glance or a brief meet ing and converting them into grist for the mill of her daily column. "But her clothes are imitations of expensive models, and she isn't as genuine as she thinks sht looks. Sht overdoes her bored-by-travel air. and betrays the fact that-she never was on a train before in her life.- AA--ft A A J axle's ; progress was again re tarded by the porter at tht entrance to her car. Staggering in and drop ping several bulky pieces of bag gage in the aisle, he began to stow them away into the first section with vicious and : glowering ' thrusts. Dniuiage bags, they were, and two battered khaki cases that looked as it they bad .one terrice In t couple of wars. A rattling' of !mp!eents suggested miner's tools. v He' sorely could not be a wandering laborer on aa extra-fart train. The porter gave the last parcel a final belligerent kick trader tht seat with hi foot and stood aside .to allow . Jaxie to pass.

Com in to tht train early and bavin' her picture taken on the platform. Tea, much to hisself , what ah mean. Ahm not "gonna be pesteria' him wid de clothes (brush and ,sich-lak." . He grinned appreciation' of his own soliloquy as he tugged and shoved utt lastidunnagt bag -under the seat" and recalled the little old man with the white goatee, Clad in khaki breeches and high! boots,; whose queer luggage he had just accepted with mental disapproval. - The little man's voice arrested his meditation. ?uet it all In, boy 7 Good!

He had no ! farther opportunity for eonjectnre, however, for just at t- that moment then was a sudden burst of shouts and laughter above the din outside, and minute pelting sounds, as of sleet and hail on the car windows and platform.

Contour Orchard Planted, Neivberg NEWBEr G What il believed to be the first orchard in the Willamette valley to be planted on the coitour instead of In straight geometrical I fashion, has recently ! been set Out by Paul Michenet, near here. The idea of contour planting is! to set the rows of ; troes according to the topography of the land, so that cultivation ;an easily ; be carried out on I tho contour I and thus minimize erosion. Before planting the orchard, Mr. Michenelr, in cooperation with the Soil Conservation ierriceter raced the 14nd for proper drain age, so ! that the excess water would be jcarried off without causing serious erosion. Although adequate ccjver crops! are valu able In ' protecting the surfacei they will nojt always prevent ero- j sion damage unless concentra tions of water are broken up by diversion channels orf terraces.
