Chlefi.
-S-lkm, Aug. 27. Henry Jack
son, an educated Titt River In
dian, from the Klamath agency,
is in Salem attending the M. E.
conference. He said a few years
won 1 1 find but few scattering
numbers ol his race left. On the
agency there are not over 900
Indians, and with them consump
tion is making terrible inroads.
He says the different foods, cloth
ing, etc., attendant upon civiliza
tion ate too much for the Indian ;
he can't eland it. Of the once
powerful Modoc tribe only twenty
are left and the same number of
Snakes. The balance attheageucy
are Klamaths. "Sconchin,"' the
last chief of the Modocs and the
leader in the Modoc wars, is still
living. He is over one hundred
years old and quite weak. He is
blind as a bat. "Choctaw" the
last chL-f of the Snakes died only
a few weeks ago. He was very
old nui stone blind. "Allen
David," once the powerful chief of
the Khtinaths. is alive yet and
quite old. He is also blind.
Jackson says both the old and
young Indians are dying oif very
rapidly, and a few j ears will find
nearly" all of theai in their graves
iw the present rate of dying.

Tb Crop I Nearly Fallura In
Yolo and Saraiuuto.
Sackamunto, Aug. 27. The hop
crop, which is an important in
dustry iu Sacramento county, bids
fair t-j be very nearly a failure.
Not more than half a crop will bt
turned oil' by the yards iu this
county and Yolo. Many vines arc
turning red, and the hop is also
the color of the setting sun. The
product is so rusted that it cannot
be sulphured do as to sell. All
this is also "light," so that it is a
dead loss to the growers. A
change has come iu the last week
and it is a distressful surprise to
cultivator-i. It puts entirely a
new aspect to the California hop
market. The red color is thought
to Le due to long dry spells and
hot weather. Misleading telegrams
have been seot out by buyers
within the past few days, saying
that the crop in this valley will be
above the average, when, in fact,
the 'everse is the case.

Andrews, of the dory Mermaid
which sailed from Boston book
time ago on a transatlantic race

arrived at Coverack.in the English

Captain Andrews was en board
the Elbruse is taken to indicate
he had given up the rare, or else
some accident had happened to
his boat that made it necessary

Statl-sville, X. C, Aug. 27. A
western bound passenger train on
the Western cV North Carolina
railroad jumped the trestle near
here early this morning. The train
plunged into a ravine 200 feet in
depth, dashing the cars into spun'
ters. At least forty passengers
were killed outright, 'the wounded
number twenty-five. Many of
them will die.
Few, if any, of the passengers or
trainmen escaped unhurt. Relief
was promptly sent out. Owing to
the hour and locality of the acci
dent, only the most meagre details
were received.
The train was filled with people.
The wreck is complete, very few
passengers escaping death, as the
bridge is sixty feet high. Up to
11 o'clock thirty-six bodies were
recorered from the wreck. Par
ticulars yet meagre. No names are
yet known ot tne dead.

less skies, are practically at an
end, so far as this particular focal
itv ia concerned. General Jivren
forth will leave for Washington
to-morrow to be gone about ten
days. He is highly pleased with
the success of the experiments.
and has perfect faith that the
power of making ia n has been
secured.
From a barren dry a!kali prairie
this country has been transformed
into a first-class pasture land. The
experiments have not yet been
conducted upon the extensive
scale of the programme lirst laid
out by General Dyrenforth, bul
Humcient has been done to demon
strate that the rigtit. plan for
making rain when it is needed has
been discovered. The balloons,
owing to the present inadequate
means of maktug oxvgen in large
quantities, have not been a daz
zling success, but the rackarock
powder and dynamite have worked
wonders witli the atmosphere.
The explosions of any large
amount of dynamite and racka
rock were followed by rain inside
of ten hours, upon eight or ten
occasion.
lASt evening was the final and
most conclusive atid satisfactory
of any of the experiments. The
night was clear and there was
every indication of a long dry
spell. Five balloons were sent up
nd exploded. A stitt gale was
blowing from the east and they
drifted toward the setting sun be
fore they exploded. The battle
on the ground, where rackarock
and dynamite took the place of
heavv artillery, lasted Irom six
o'clock until ten; then the gen
eral and hie forces retired. They
were awakened at 3 a. m. by a
vivid flash of lightning, followed
by a violent clap of thunder.
They went out and saw a storm of
great violence raging in the west.
It rained until about 8 a. m. ; tnen
many pounds of dynamite and
rackarock were exploded again.
After each discharge tne rain tell
in torrents.
HANDLING WHEAT.
Railroad Companies Arranging fur
Heavy Shipments.
Portland, Aug. 27. In this
season of great crops it is interest
ing to note what are the capabilit
ies of tne railroads lor transporta
tion. An otuciai oi a prominent
line told a Telegram reporter this
morning that every provision was
being made to handle it all over
the Northwest from St. l'aul to
Portland, Taking Minnesota and
the Dakotas as examples, it is esti
mated that the crop will be 150,-
000,000 bushels. This would re
quire a movement of 1000 cars per
day for 300 days, and so it would
seem as if it could not be conveyed
awav. On the other hand it must
be remembered that at the close of
the season the countr elevators
are filled up with wheat that is to
be held until the following spring
and summer. The elevators along
the Great Northern will hold 21,-
0!H),000 bushels, while those of the
Noithern Taciuc nave a capacity
of 9.000.000 bushels. Then the
combined other loads have eleva
tors holding 20,000,000. Tins makes
a totol of about 50,000,000 bushels,
or one-third of the entire crop that
will be kept until the rasli ot
transportation is over.
Most cars will carry from 600 to
050 bushels. On this basis it
would jsquire only 834 cars for 300
days. Twenty-five cars are about
the usual train make-up, which
would make it necessary that
thirty-three trains move per day.
This, -considering all the different
railroad companies, is certainly not
a difficult thing to do.
In the states of Oregon and
Washington special efforts are be
ing made to provide ample trans
portation facilities. Judging from
the number of cars to be used and
the the storage facilities, there
will be no great difficulty in hand,
ling the yield.
