While acting as an Impromptu en gineer yesterday, Charles Hastings, the house mover, ran an 18-horse-pewer traction engine Into the Byers' mill race at the foot of Locust hill, ami it now lies there with the wheels hi the air. The engine is the prop arty of Marlon Jack, and haa been Bed by the city as power for running the rock crusher. Yesterday Mr. astlngs Is said to have secured per mission from Mr. Jack to use the engine for a few hours, promising to return it before this morning. It was ala Intention to use tho engine In Tin; the old house from the Meth odist church property at the corner of Webb and Johnson streets. The bringing of the traction engine across the mill race from Its station aear the rock crusher required rather aareful navigation, and Mr. Hastings was evidently not equal to the task. While switching the engine around In arder to get it upon the bridge, the guiding apparatus failed to work properly and the machine headed straight for the mill race. Despairing mt stopping the runaway, Mr. Hastings lamped off and the big engine plung ed down the eight-foot bank Into the till race and turned completely over. Had Mr. Hastings remained with the aaglne and been unable to stop It, he would certainly have been killed out right The situation of the engine is such that it Is said to be Impossible to get M out of the race unless the railroad wrecking outfit can be secured. The soet of the engine when new was 1800, but aa It has been In use for seme time the loss will not be near that great should it be Impossible to aave the engine. Also, the steam road roller owned by the county. Is out of commission temporarily, through having been run Into a meter box in the east end of town a few days ago. However, it Is aaJd the big machine can be rescued aaily. Some Important Facts Which Provo Helpful.

Great Engineering Feat Being Pee formed In China. Civil Engineers throughout the Far East are watching the result of the bridging of the treacherous Yellow river. The ilver is usually said to be two miles wide where the Hankau Peking railroad management decided to bridge It, says the American consul at Pekln. The width is 10,827 feet and the new bridge Is divided Into 102 spans of unequal length, and about 6 meters (19.68 .feet) above the water. The bridge Is not constructed of heavy structural steel, but Is of a more frail design, which, however, will apparently prove of ample strength for the light locomotives and cars in use on this road. The greatest difficulty met with was to find a suitable foundation for the piers. Quicksand was encountered. and for a time some experts feared that It would be Impossible to build safe and permanent structure. It was also found to be practically Impossl ble to sink ordinary piling, and finally screw piling was successfully used. Al though some of the piling has been sunk by machinery 40 feet into the bed of the river, there Is said to be a possibility of a sudden rise in the river carrying away some of the piers. This is largely conjecture. It has been planned to drive the piling down to a point beneath the scour of the bed of the river. No caissons were used, and on ac count of the great width and strength of the stream, the fact that there Is no solid rock foundations, that the main channel Is 10 meters (32.80 feet) In depth, and that In flood periods this depth may be Increased to over 14 meters (45.92 feet), has occasioned much conjecture as to the result of the bridging undertaking.

S. Othello Pike, of Syracuse. III., a descendant of Lieutenant Zebulon Montgomery Pike, is in Colorado Springs for a brief visit, says the Denver Post. Mr. Pike says that three brothers, John, Joseph and James Pike, came to this country before the Revolutionary war. From where they came is not shown by the records, nor Is It known Just when they came. Zebulon Montgomery Pike was a son of Joseph Pike. S. Othello Pike springs from the John Pike branch of the family tree. He heads the fourth generation, preced ing him being John, David and Sllns O. Pike. An Interesting statement made- by Mr. Pike Is that there now are over 5000 descendants of the three broth ers who first came to America. Near ly all of them resemble their ances tors In that they have been of unu sual height. In the branch to which Mr. Pike belongs the men all have measured over six feet In their stock ing feet, and Mr. Pike himself stands six feet two. He beara a remarka ble resemblance to pictures of the famous explorer, having the same stalwart build and especially notice able is the expression in eyes and face. Baptist Church Special Meetings.

To night the subject Is, "A Full Hand." There will be an afternoon meeting on Tuesday at 2:30 o'clock. All are welcome. Tvremty-Two Miles of New Grade WUI Be Built South of Dufur Immediate ly Grade Stakes Set and Construe tlon to Begin Soon President Helmrich Says the Road Will Not Stop at Dufur. That central Oregon will not be without a railroad long 1b shown by the following from the Madras Pio neer, concerning the movements of the Great Southern, which is now building southward form Dufur: It certainly looks now as though the Great Southern railroad wilt be the first to build Into central Ore- ann and tap the rich grain district of ihis section of the state, says the Flo neer. The present terminus of the road Is Dufur, but there has been no cessation In tho activities of the engineering department of the road, and It Is now announced that grade stakes are being set south of Dufur, and that the new contract for 22 miles of construction will be under way as soon as the cross-sections stakes are set. Pres. John Helmrich has frequently declared that the road would not stop at Dufur, and there Is every indication that the program will be carried out Just as announced by him. On last Thursday, W. F. Nelson, the vice-pres ident of the company and who had charge of the construction work, left Portland with a corps of 12 men who are iroln to the territory south of Dufur to take up the field work. A conference was held at Tygh with a number of land owners of that sec tlon, and the right of way for the road is being obtained. In fact, it Is defin itely stated by those In authority that the right of way for the greater por tion of the road has already been secured. Engineers who have been over the route which will probably be taken by the Great Southern say that an easy grade can bo had, and that the road will not be expensive In build ing. The grado down Warm Springs river will bo very light, and from the mouth of Warm Springs river on up the Deschutes to Willow creek and thence on up through this wheat dis trict an easy grade without any heavy work can be obtained. company and the fact that a number of Los Angeles business men are prominent In It, no one questions here that the Southern Pacific Is the real power back of the movement to build to Klamath Falls. The engineers em ployed are Southern Pacific men, one of the principal men being an en gineer who help build the Lucln cut off across Salt Lake for the Harrlman road. While the McCloud railway Is being rushed toward Klamath Falls as fast as men and money can do It, the men back of the Weed project do not fear Its competition. They know they have the most direct route. For this reason they regard this talk of line down through Oregon with equanimi ty, also. As compared to Sacramento and San Francisco, especially tha for mer, Portland Is too far away to be dangerous competitor. The Klam ath section geographically belongs to California, and with proper transpor tation facilities the trade can always be held by this state. BUILDING rNTO OREGON. School House and Contents Burn A fire resulting from unknown causes totally destroyed the sqhool house In district No. 67 on Daly creek last Monday night All the children's books and the teachers' recoids were burned. The loss, which Is estimated at about 1500, will bo severely felt In that section. The school house was comparatively a new one, having been built about a year ago by tha resi dents of the district Miss Oilklnson was the teacher. Baker City Herald. California and Northern WIU Tap Klamath Irrigation District. The Weed railroad, now known as the California It Northern, has reach ed a point 23 miles from Klamath Falls, two miles of new rails and three miles of fresh grading having been done since tho new company took hold. It Is rushing work as fast as possible. At present 260 men are employed, and more will soon be put on, men from tha Idle lumber camps being now available. Notwithstanding tha name of the Must Have Been Suicide, After considering the evidence for two days the grand Jury which was called at Canyon City by the Grant county authorities to Investigate the death of the Chinese cook at the Pyx mine, Greenhorn, returned a not true bill. The investigation was called at the request of the Chinese consul at San Francisco upon representation made to him by the local Chinese that the cook had been murdered, failed to find anything pointing to the theory that there had been foul play. It was conclusively shown by witnesses that the dead Chinaman had repeated ly threatened to kill himself, and on one occasion had been discovered by Mr. Swash, the manager of the mine, with a revolver In his hand. At that time he said he was going R kill him self, but was persuaded out of the notion. Five minutes before he was shot he had told Mr. Swash that he would kill himself, and went to his room above the mess room where he kept his revolver. Later he was found dead.
