ing condition to handle their train
and for this reason the time con
snmed on the road has increased
from six and seven hours to 12 to 15
hours. When men reach home they
are tired out. They either lay off
for rest or make another trip in hopes
that they will get some rest while
waiting for n train.
Consequently tho "Tea train" and
the stock train are gladly welcomed
by railroad men ,from the call boy to

treat of rushing two or
freight trains over the system
In the tedious monotony of hauling
the slow freights, consisting of from
10 to 55 cars, loaded principally with
Com- d'Alene ore, Wlllametto valley
lumber and "Oregon Bananas," as the
railroad t es and huge piling nre call
ed, a light tonnage Asiatic freight
train is a holiday excursion
The freight crews from the monn
tain, lying at Umatilla, waiting for
their turn out. hail with joy the com
ing of the "Tea" train, the Chinese
matting or "Illy bulbs," which nre all
hilled for double quick time.
The O. R. & N. handles a great
amount of Oriental freight and when
a train of it Is made up in Portland
all other freight trains clear the way
for this special freight, until it is de
livered to the next company.
The tonnage of the Asiatic freight
train Is reduced so that good time can
be made with It, and the crews take
a delight In hurrying It over the road
Instead of dragging along for 12 to 15
hours with 1200. from Umatilla to La
Grande, the tonnage is generally re-
luced to 900 or 1000 and the trip Is
made In eight hours or less,
Where the train Is all through
freight no local switching nor freight
I trnln work Is done at the way stations
t by thl6 crew. They nre given
I "speed order," permitting them to
run 25 or 30 miles per hour and the
stops for water at different tanks
along the line and for coal in thi
city are nil that are made.
Special pains are taken to have i
helper at North Fork waiting for the
train so they will be no delay there.
The meeting points are maue favora
ble to this train and In every possl
ble manner It is hurried over the syg
tern
The stock train Is handled in the
same manner nnd freight men nil en
Joy catching a stock special. No
stops are made with them, except
those necessnry and there is a con
stant rivalry between the engine and
train crews to Bee who makes the rec
ord run with a stock train.
The sheep and cattle shipping sea'
son is always looked forward to with
delight by the men. It means that
somebody will catch a few "good
runs," ns they are called.

SHEEP FOR MUTTON.
Umatilla County Raises Very Best
Kind, But Not Enough to Supply
Demand.
E. Harrington, representing the
Tnafe Company, of San Francisco,
who this spring shipped from this
point nbout 12,000 mutton sheep,
stated before leaving hero that If they
were to be had ho would purchase In
Umatilla county and ship yearly 36,
ono mutton sheep, or an average of
3,000 per month.
He avers thnt there Is not In all the
West a finer mutton sheep raised than
in Umatilla county, but there are not
enough or them. This seems a very
peculiar condition to exist In a coun
ty having a total of 240,000 sheep,
The policy has prevailed for years of
developing to the highest extent the
wool producing qualities of sheep at
the expense of mutton. This tenden
cy .Mr. Harrington, who has bought
sheep for the mutton market in every
Btate west of the Mississippi, deplores
n strong terms. He says those who
have the mutton sheep, of the first
class grades he must have, have al
ways made money by the sale of the
mutton, and others m eht Just ns
well.
