Sab Francisco. June 2. The

had never seen Kngineer Dunn

draw bnilne through whii h the
train went at the time of the acci
dent could be seen on the left of
the engine at (he ship yard and he
flelt sure that it waa closed when
the train got there. He could not
aay at what distance the danger
signal could le discerned. The
engine had hardly any speed on
when the.i wont through the draw
and if they could have run ten
yards flirther the train could Lav.
been stopped.
Bridge Tender Duulap said the
train was not in view when he
0end the draw though it could
have been seen a mile he thought.
It was coming at a high rate of
speed about loll yards dii-tant and
thought the engineer could see the
signal about 300 feel away a I "
signal (lag was placed admit 2 i

Heafd by Klectrlclty.
Pittsburg Commercial GixeUe.
David J. Evans, lumber dealer,
of this city, speaking with refer
ence to the rumor that a syndicate
Pittsburg capitalists had pur
chased the pine lumber on five
thousand acres near Johnstown,
and that the trees were to be felled
by electricity, said: "1 was not
ware that tliere was such a large
uantity of pine on one tract in
that vicinity." He considered tbe
whole scheme, if any existed, a
visionary one, and doubted very
much that any such syndicate waa
in existence. With regard to
the felling of trees by electricity
Mr. Evans said :
"I have for some time regarded
such a plan as feasible, and also
thought that the Fame system
could be adoped in sawing the
timber into boards. My idea was
to charge a wire with the electric
current until it reached a white
heal, aud, while in that state,
this wire could take the place of
the circular saw, and be made to
pass through the saw log. It could
also be ust d to saw boards into
any required sizes. If any inven
tion of this kind proved a success,
and was put in operation in our
sawmills, it would result in great
saving of material, and would re
duce the cost of operation, and
wo aid do awav with theannovance
and rccumulation of sawdust."
T. P. Ihinn oi Boston, the Pitts
burg electrician of tbe Thompson-
Houe'on Company, when asked
subsequently to give an opinion
ou the feasibility ol the system
suggested bv Mr. Evans, sani :
Ibe felling oit.ees bv this
means can be successfully accom
plished. A communication on
this subject recently appeared iu
one of the electric journals, tjo
that portion of the subject is not
altogether new. The other sugges
tion made bv Mr. Evans bears the
earmarks of originality. If put
into practice it would prove quite
an innovation in the lumber busi
ness. It would save time and
money. But the scheme has one
drawback, which might, however.
be overome. Tbe wood would be
disflgneied to some extent. This
might be overcome, however, and
then the nlan would work excel
lently, cor log sawing, or any
other work of that kind, the plan
would be a big improvement on
the present methods."

I'uoecnpled Land.
Lying between the valley proper
and the source of the Santiam river
there are thousands of acres of fer
tile land which need only the pro
cess of a diligent husbandry to
make them as productive as the
finest p anions of our territory. If
the scores of immigrants who come
to this country and are not financi
ally able to buy a 160 acie farm in
the old and well improved farming
sections would only inspect this
portion of our country, they would
una everything to invite a perman
ent location. The land, it is tiue.
belongs to the government and bt
unsuryveyed : but this need be no
barrier to its early settlement. A
very easv matter would it be to
settle this country by colonies, ap
ply to (be aievernuienlfora sarvay,
and thus acquire a titlo to then
rich bottom lands at a triding fig
ure as compared with the Okla
homa and otht r land crazes. Come
and see for yourselves aud we have
no fears as to earlv occupation of
the lands.

In reference to the distinction
between light and dark cigars,
smokers nearly always express a
preierence lor one or tue other,
but they get practically the same
thing. The difference lies only in
the wrapper, although the general
impression is mar. a uara ooiorea
cigar is much stronger. Nearly all
brands ol cigars have two shades,
but the tiill .ng is the same in both.
