W oodburn, Or., June 34.— Mr. A.
Ohlhoff, a civil engineer of Portland,
has been in Woodburn for the last ten
days making a drawing, plans and
specifications of a patent potato-digger,
originated and gotten up by Peter
Sohorbach, of thiB plaoe. It is a w on ­
derful piece of machinery, and yet very
simple. It w ill dig, sort and sack the
potatoes, doing the work of sixty men.
It w ill require tw o teams and two men
to operate the machine. One man w ill
handle the horses, and the other tie
the sacks. Already agrionltnre firms
in the East are beooming interested in
this potato-digger, and one firm has t e ­
em ed an option on the patent for the
United States. Mr. Sohorbach leaves
today for Portland with his model,
which is a perfect brass one, drawings
and papers, where he w ill have them
upon exhibition for a few days before
forwarding them to the patent office at
Washington.
George Cathey, a 13-year-old boy
and a son of Dr. B. A. Cathey, has in­
vented a device for opening, closing
and locking any gate which swiDgs on
a pivot. Mr. Ohlhoff says it is the
best patent gate he has ever seen, and
thinks there is a fortune in it for some­
body w ho w ill push it.

W oodville. Tex., June 34.— At Dou­
cette, three miles north of W oodville,
today, the tram engine boiler of the
Nebraska Lumber Company exploded,
killing seven men outright, and seri­
ously, if not fatally, injuring three
others. It seems the engineer was just
ready to start for the log camp, when
the explosion took place, some eight or
ten men being in the oab. Some of
the viotims had their heads torn from
their bodies, and were otherwise m uti­
lated beyond recognition. The killed
are:
A. I. Doucette, president of the Ne­
braska Lumber Company; Grant Ham-
mersly,
Charles W alforth, Charles
Smith, W illiam
Sargent; a man
known about the m ill as “ Frenchy,”
bnt whose right name could not be as­
certained; another unknown man.
The wounded are: Dan A. Harman,
fireman, arms terribly lacerated and
painfully scalded about the face and
neck; D. C. Sullivan, section hand,
badly scalded; — Dowling, scalded
about the face and neck.
Tbe reports o f just how the accident
happened are somewhat conflicting.
One reason given is that the engineer
let his water get low with a hot fire
and then turned on the injector.
