It is significant that the one train which makes the Chicago-St. Paul run in ten Louts, carries no passengers. l o nue on it is a pnvuetre ac quired by lewt Yet a journey on this train, which carries none but government clerks and its crew, is an experience, especially if the journey be made on the "fireman's side" of the huge locomotive which pulls it. It is a revelation ot what fast passenger service means and liberal education in appreciation of the cool nerve and absolute com petency of the men who run fast trains. The fast mail over .the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway leaves Chicago every night of the year with from twenty to fifty tons of mail aboard and reaches St, Paul every morning with its bur den of letters and packages in time for transfer to other trains to the Pacific coast to connect with the mail boats, north into the Domin ion, east and west into adjacent states and radiating over a dozen lines ot railway into every nook and cranny of the Northwest. If one asks why the fast mail car ries no passengers he is answered that there are other trains which do that work. Another reason is apparent after a journey on the "head end" with the two cinder marked and grease-smudged gods of the machine that pulls it. Ten-hour service means speed. On a glorious night not long ago the fast mail pulled out of Milwau kee on time, swinging along at an easy gait through the maze of green, white and red switchlights until the last tall semaphore arm signaled all clear," then Engineer Sulli van's long right arm shot forward through the dark suddenly, the hoarse cyncopation of the exhaust changed instantly to a long wailing roar and the tremendous locomo tive seemed to limlx-r up in every joint as she swung forward into the the night. ''He trun her in compound," the fireman, Woodland, explained. His father in his early life had appren ticed hira to a jeweler. He had a back like an ox and an arm like an oak tree. Mile posts began to fade in regu ar succession and telegraph poles flew by so fast it was hardly pos sible to count. The track ahead took on an uncanny grayish haze, but the speed constantly increased. The big locomotive slowed down for nothing. She took sharp curves ike a race bore and lunged into the long tangents like a singed cat. engineer Sullivan didn't talk much. He was pretty busy watching the track. When he did talk it was to the point. "Forty-five miles out of Milwau kee, including the trip through the yards and suburbs, where we had to slow down, in torty-six min utes," he said. He dropped to the ground and oiled up almost on the run. Two minutes elapsed, the big machine was ready to go again, but the con ductor appeared out of the gloom and remarked that a journal on a mail car had run hot. Hot journals are not serious in themselves, but six minutes clip tied from the schedule of a train which must run while in motion at rate of slightly more than 55 miles an hour tor 408 miles, is a very important matter. Kngineer Sullivan swore softly and drowned his wrath in copious applications of more oil to the big engine's stuffing boxes. Then he mounted the tow ering cab again and the race was 011 for the second time. Wotnlland grinned. "We'll run like a pup with a tin can tied to his tail now," he con- fided. We did. Mile posts and tele- J graph poles became one long pro cession, with scarcely perceptible distances between them. The air rushed through the open cab win dows like a cyclone, and the mail cars, trailing along behind, rocked ed and swung on their springs like so many drunken meu. The pace was tremendous. One's sensation was much like those w hen the horses enter the last eighth on a fast track and 40,000 people in the grand stand begin to cheer. The speed gradually in creased from 51 to 58, then to 62, 66, 71, 74 and 76 miles an hour: then, on the crest of a ''hill," the summit of an up and down grade, it suddenly jumped to 84 and then to 92 miles an hour a mile and i half a minute, and one felt an in sane desire to yank the throttle away out and see if it were not pos sible to make three miles a minute. It was a pace that made the gov ernment officials grin, but it was no pace for sedate burghers and busi ness men. At Rio the pace suddenly fell off. Engineer Sullivan looked at his watch. "On time," he said briefly. The Fast Mail covered the remaining ew miles at a handy clip, stopped for a minute at a crossing and swttg into Watertown, gvi miles from Milwaukee, on time to a sec oud. Ninety-three miles in a trifle more than 100 minutes actual run ning time. Reeling off the miles at a speed of practically a mile a minute, En gineer Sullivan passed the yard limits at Sparta on time, only to find the signals out against him, and train No. 2, which had the right of way lecause it was a south bound train, losing time and late. The heavy mail train pulled into clear on a siding and twelve min utes elapsed before the bright, white headlight of the south bound passen ger showed around the curve. Twelve mtuutes lost was a handi cap, but it ilul not mean much al ter the other things that happened. The nig A2 locomotive, with driv ing wheels seven feet in diameter, swung out on the main line again, and after a few strockes of her pis-, tons sent the speed rate climbing Eighty-eight miles an hour was interesting, but not sensational, af ter having made 92 miles an hour. The heavy train pulled into North LaCrosse on time 26 miles in 2$4 minutes. The regular passenger trains of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St, Paul railway make speed records sometimes. Their schedules are moderate, yet their engine drivers are in constant danger of minor de lays and small losses of time, every minute of which means a faster act ual running schedule and more speed in order to cover the remain ing mileage on time. To handle a big train requires several qualities most men value absolute self-con fidence and self-reliance on the part of the engine driver, conservative nerve and daring, resourcefulness and lightning quickness of judg ment which must not be nearly right, but absolutely unerring. On a big locomotive of the Mil waukee's Pioneer Limited a fe nights ago, Engineer Sullivan and Fireman Hultane covered the great er part of the run from Lake City to LaLrosse at a speed averaging for actual running time letween 55 and 58 miles an hour. On another night, with Engineer Patrick Doyle and Fireman John Youugquist, many minor delays and handicap f slow orders, on one long sec tion ot track, were overcome by ad ded speed, and the Tioneer Limit ed, an unusually heavy train on that night, pulled into LaCrosse on time. Men like Sullivan, Weaver, Doyle, Smith who is no longer a work ing engineer Homer Williams and their ilk come but seldom to public notice, yet their nerve and resource fulness nightly guard the lives of hundreds, and their complete mas tery of their profession enables rce 1 to cover long distances without loss of time and without disagreeable incident. Curtis L. Mosher, in the St. Paul Dispatch. John Ledahl, a Norwegian about 23 years of age, was run over by a westlxMind Corvallis & Eastern train one day last week and instant ly killed, his head leing completely severed and his body crushed to a Plllp - He was intoxicated and was walking on the track w hen struck by the train. His home was at Toledo, where he leaves a wife only 17 years old and a 6-month old! baby. AWFUL DEATH OF FARMHAND ANOTHER POSTCrriCE ROBBED News of General Interest to Busy ReaSers--Grand Lodge Meeting Boy Killed--Peace Wanted. Forest L. Webster lost his life in a most shocking manner near Kali spell, Mont. He was engaged in feeding a threshing machine on ranch about nine miles from Kali' spell, when he accidently stepped through the opening of the cylin der. which was revolving at the rate of 2,000 times a minute. He was drawn down and literally chew ed to pieces by the teeth of the cyl inder and concave before the ma chine could be stopped. His left leg and thigh were shredded and clawed to a pulp, and his right leg torn off. Peculiar !eath. Idaho Falls, Ida., Sept. 26.

Light ning caused considerable damage in this vicinity during a severe thunder storm last night. Tele phone wires in different parts of the county were damaged. On the larm of W. H. Caldwell, near this this city, the lightning struck a pine tree, delolishing it and killing seven large hogs which were lying beneath it. Lightning also struck a tree a few miles from Albany on the Independence road and left it in flames. The storm was a severe one, the rain falling in torrents.

While the business for the year of the State Board of Agriculture is not completed, Secretary Moores announces that the state fair this year will come out about $2,500 to the good. The total receipts were $30,000, of which $10,000 came from the state appropriation for ag ricultural premiums. The board paid premiums to the amount of $10,500, the additional $5011 being taken from miscellaneous receipts. In every department receipts were less this year than last, the gate re ceipts falling off $600, of which de crease $300 was on Poithrtid day The district fair at Eugene was a success. The board will have a lit tie money left over when the ex penses are all paid. WichllaMust he Tough. Topeka, Kan., Sept. 26. Carrie Nation has issued a long appeal to the mothers, wives and daughters of Kansas to join her in a crusade. In part she says: "I have frequent appeals from poor heart-broken mothers all over the country to come and help them save their sons, but from no place have I had as many as from Wich ita. Last week, two agonizing ap peals came to me that I cannot turn a deaf ear to, and I am now resolv ed to cancel my dates and by the help of Almighty God go to that awful city of death and murder. I now ask all women over the state and elsewhere to meet me there Bring your hatchets with you. I will pay the railroad fare of those not able and see that there is a place provided for them to stay while there." Thirteen of the leading milliners and proprietors of millinery estab lishments in Spokane were arrest ed Tuesday and made to answer to a charge of selling the plumage of birds, not of the game variety. .The arrests were at the instance of the League of American Sportsmen.

HILLSBORO, OREGON EXCITED MARKET IN HOPS EVERYBODY AFTER THE CROP Price Goes Above 28 Cents and May Go Higher. -8,000 to 10,000 Bales Change Hands. Tuesday was a wild day in the Portland hop market, says the Ore gonian. Everybody was trying to buy, prices soared and the enthu siasm on the part of growers and holders was intense. No such flur ry as has prevailed in the Valley in the past forty eight hours has leen ier speech and of democratic editor witnessed in the hop market in j i-ds without saying anything new Portland for years. The course of the market verified all of the nre- dictions that have been made by growers of higher values. The top price reached was 28! cents, an ad vance of from 1 to 3 cents over for mer quotations. It is estimated that from 8,000 to 10,000 bales have changed hands in the last two days in Oregon, Washington and California. Fully 5,000 bales were sold in Oregon in that time.. Thomas ltrown in the Toils. Thomas Brown, a former resi dent of Hillsboro, is under arrest in Portland on a very serious charge. The Oregonian of Tuesday morn ing says: "Thomas Brown, who is alleged to have fired his residence in Sun- nyside in order to collect the insur ance, was arraigned on a charge of arson in the municipal court yester day morning. He was held under $2,500. In the evening he was re moved to the county jail. On the night of the fire a week ago, after the firemen had extinguished the flames, thev heard a , noise in the attic of the house, and upon inves tigation discovered Brown, who had with him three jars filled with kerosene. The firemen had pre viously formed the opinion that the house had been fired, as kerosene was found throughout the building, which was not badly damaged ow ing to the fact that too much kero sene had been applied. He was ar rested by the firemen, who held him until the arrival of the patrol wagon." A message from Forest Grove says that Thomas Brown is well known there, where he lived for ten years, going to Portland from that city.

Speaking editorially, the Tribune says: "Judge Parker's letter of accept ance goes far toward demolishing his reputation as a great jurist cap able of sustaining a logical thought. . It ii a lot of disjointed paragraphs seemingly produced without any plan of arrangement, without any clear-cut conception of problems diseusssd and without any definite policy to expound. Judge Parker traverses familiar ground of his earl- or noteworthy except in one partic- ular, On pensions, Judge Parker does become specific and astounding. After insinuating that the presi dent's pension order, with its trifl ing addition to the pension roll, was a bid for votes and promising. if elected, to revoke it. Judge Parker proceeds to make a higher bid. He promises what is practic ally a service pension, a thing which has been violently opjiosed by the leaders aud editors of his own party for years, and indeed advocated by few persons outside of radical Grand Army circles. It is uot too much to say that this bid for votes is posi tively indecent." Reports say that the forest fires that were beginning to rage near LaGrande alove Mount Emily have subsided on account of the heavy rains that have leen falling for a few days. Ranchers in that vicin ity were beginning to le alarmed, as it was necessary for them to watch their property, and hundreds oi acres of valuable timber would have been destroyed. A carrier pigeon service will soon be established lietwecn Bellingham and the Mount Baker mining dis trict in Washington.
