TRYING THE I
IMPORTANT TASK OF THE
AIR BRAKE MAN.
Unpretentious Performance Which
Deeply Interests the Traveling Pub
lic Testing the Brakes.
Few people stop to observe the de
tails of a business which does not
concern them. Here In Pendleton are
a hundred vocations which are vital
to the prosperity and business of the
country, yet people not directly en
gaged In tome one of them never
stop to inquire Into the details of
their operatolon and management.
There is a task that Is performed
from five to 10 times dally in the
railroad yards here, which dlreitly
interests every man vho travels, ret
not one man in 20 outside of the em
ployes in the yard and on the road,
know It is done.
This is the testing of the air brakes
on every train that passes through
Pendleton. On a mountain grade,
the braking power and brake appara
tus is .the most important feature of
the operation of railroads. The pas
senger train stops In front of the
depot and Immediately the "air men"
begin looking over the air pipes,
brake rigging, air reservoirs and all
the belongings of the brake, to sea
thai it is In repair. The air pump on
the locomotive pumps the , drums and
air pipes full, and when the Inspec
tors have "gone over the train, fixed
up leaks, tightened bolts and nuts
and made secure every slightest de
fect found, the engineman "sets" the
brake; that is, he makes an applica
tion of the air sufficient to hold the
train down the mountain, or to check
the speed of the train at any place
necessary, and then the inspectors go
back over th etrain and note careful
ly to see that every brake is set and
in proper position. This Is to Insure
the certain action of the brakes after
leaving here, to .make sure that the
train is in condition to be handled
with safety to the public and em
ployes. If there is a defect It Is rem
edied before the train starts. At
every terminal point this operation Is
repeated, so that the man who looks
from the cab window on the engine

Speaking of the matter, Judge G. A.

"The state has refused to pay the
bounties and as Union and Baker i

the bounty on these animals, it was,
high time for Umatilla to take some
step.
"Scalps were being brought In from
Idaho and Washington and surround

county. Over $12,000 has been paid
