LI.TER FROM MRS. WRIGHT.

Points Along the Way.
Phillipsburg, Mo,, Jan., toofi
Dear Kditor Independent. Will
try and send a lew straggling notes
ot our tiip across the country from
Portland via San Francisco to my
brother's home. I had a very
pleasant day at the home of my
cousin Mr. Simpson. Took the
train at 8:45 p. m.; could not see
very well till the morning when we
were slowly winding our way in.
around, over and through the
mountains, both steep, rough and
high. Now here we are at Grant's
Pass, quite a large place on the
Rouge river with two large nioun
tains all around us. iNow on we
go again, very slowly to be sure;
we pass a long stretch of the sage
brush land very thinly settled and
the soil doesn't look so very good.
Now we are in a better country
still on Rouge river, just nearing
Cold Hill. Next station is Gold
Ray and we see beautiful water
falls. Now we come to Medford,
where the delegation of our eastern
editors. 600 in number, ate the lus
ious and beautiful Royal Ann
cherries and the editor of our town
Coshocton, Ohio, wrote to the Age
what he thought of the canueries in
California buying the cherries of
Otegon and selling them as Califor
nia grown fruit.
A finer country you never saw.
Orchards, orchards aud such beau
tiful homes. Pheonix and Allen
are both pretty places. Just as we
pass between a range of mountains
that were white with snow, while
a few miles back were men plowing
n the fields; 12 o'clock noon, the
train stops twenty-five minutes for
diuner at Ashland, a lovely town in
the valley with snow on either side.
We passed through tunnel, some
long, some short. As we began to
go up the mountains, before we
reached Grant's Pass, the train had
three engines, and our train looped
the loop.
January 10th, 190G All day in
the mountains. We had a poor
view of Mt. Shasta, because of the
fog; but a little farther on we see a
beautiful sight "Mt. Shasta
Springs." The train stops twenty
minutes and all get off and take a
drink and sample books of what
grows in Southern California.
When the train reached Oakland
we were told that if we wished
we could take the ferry over to San
Francisco and spend the day and
one night. The morning was warm,
bright and beautiful, and many
took a look at the city on the broad,
blue Pacific. Sacramento is a large,
beautiful city on the Sac river.
. We passed many large, fine fruit
farms and a good deal of wild
brushy land. At Marysville we
first saw the Feather river and I
thought of the time long ago when
my brother John Simpson used to
write us from there; and of the gold
ring which I still wear that he had
made and sent me from there.
Soon we come to the Sierras and
our train went very slowly and still
more slowly till we reached the
snow sheds when every window
was closed and our train just
seemed to crawl as it were. At last
we are over and we begin to go
down, down, down to Truxey, the
last station in California. Now we
leave the land of gold with all its
grandeur and beauty, health and
invigorating breezes, aud come to
Reno in Nevada. We know we
are going north east because the
air scolder and more like winter.
Sparks, the next station, has an
electric car line three miles long.
To me Nevada is the most bleak,
desert looking state I ever saw.
We ride many, many miles without
seeing the least signs of civilation
hardly a living thing. The farms
are few and far between, with never
a tree or flower; nothing but desert

ruin, nce
in a while we saw a few herds of
cattle standing knee deep in suow.
The porter comes through the cars
and lights the lamps, we know that
means tunnels ahead and although
we have passed through several we
know we have more to go through.
The snow is deeper at we go toward
Salt Lake and for many miles the
ground is covered with salt water
and nothinsr cantrrow. Now we
cross Salt Lake very slowly, only
twelve miles per hour. Now e
reach Ogden, Utah..
Sunday, January 14 Changed
cars iu Ogden, took the Union Pa
cific for Kansas City via Denver.
We are nearing Cheyenne and the
train is making better time. Soon
we will be looking for Sherman's
monument, four miles from Sher
man station. Granite Canon is a
grand sight. We are going south
now and making better time than
we did. We are beyond the snow
line and are on a beautiful prairie
with its many fine homes and large
droves of cattle, horses and sheep
that makes you feel as though you
were in a white man's country once
more. LaSalle, 46 miles from Den
ver, is a very pretty town; has pleas
ant homes and seems to be quite a
railroad center. ' I like the looks of
Colorado and Kansas very much.
The day was warm and lovely.
As we neared Topeka we saw a
great deal of the flood. Many
places the ground was washed
away in great wide gullies. The
damage must have been great in
deed. We reached Kansas City at
30 p. m. at the close of a beauti
ful, warm, sunny day. Changed
cars for Springfield, Mo., which we
reached 11:30 p. m. Had to stay
all night because the fast train on
which we came did not stop at
Phillipsburg, near which my broth
er lives. At 9:45 a. m. 1 go on
again and hope soon to be at my
journey's end as I am getting very
tired, having been entrain for over
eight days. I found the folks all
very well but living farther from
the town than I thought, four
miles instead of two, and over very
muddy roads. I don't think I ever
can like Missouri as I do Oregon
We are now just passing through a
very cold stormy time, the ground
is covered with snow, nearly a foot
in depth and the air is very cold.
When I came it was very pleasant.
am afraid I should have seen
Missouri before I did Oregon per
haps I would have liked it better.
P. S. WRIGHT.
A Missouri editor who grew tired
of wielding the whitewash brush
in the matter of obituaries, decided
to reform and tell the truth just
once. lie commented as follows
upon the death of a well known
citizen: Died . aired t6
years, 9 months and 13 days. De
ceased was a mild-mannered pirate
with a mouth for whiskey and an
eye for boodle. He came here in
the night with another man'a wife
and joined the church at the first
chance. He owed us several dol-
ars for the paper, a , meat bill and
yon could hear him pray six blocks.
le died singing "Jesus paid it all,"
nd we think he is right, as he
never paid anything himself. He
was buried in an asbestos casket,
and his many friends threw palm
leaf fans in his grave, as he may
need them. His tombstone will be
favorite resting place for hoot
owls.
Gee whiz! What are we coming
to? Even the kids are onto the ad
ulteration, remarks an exchange.

Judge Lindsey. of Denver, the
highest authority in the country on
Juvenile Courts, wrote in "Prog
ress" for July, 1904: "We have in
Colorado the most advanced laws of
any state in the Union for the care
and protection of the home and
children, the very foundation of the
Republic. These laws, in my opin
ion, would not exist at this time if
it were not for the powerful influ
ence ot woman suffrage, which, at
all times, has been back of thetr,
and those who have conscientiously
and faithfully administered them."

Huston Best Fitted.
A veteran republican living in
another county, and formerly a
member of the Oregon legislature,
speaking lecently about the pros
pective candidates for congressman
from this district gives his fellow
republicans some points worthy of
consideration. Of the three active
candidates, Walter L. Tooze. of
Woodburn, Prof. W. C. Hawley, of
Salem, aud Hon. S B. Huston, of
Hillsboro, he says that Tooj-e is bv
far the least desirable. In fact he
has no fitness whatever for the po
sition of congressman, and if sent
to Washington would only make
this district ridiculous with his end
less but shallow talk. Prof. Haw
ley is a man of recognized ability
as an educator, but without experi
ence as a legislator. Ex-Senator
Huston is an attorney and business
man whose ability is recognized
wherever he is known and bis fit
ness for the exacting duties of con
gressman from this district at this
time is undoubtedly far better than
either of his rivals. Such an opin
ion from a man who has had long
personal acquaintance with all three
of the candidates, having lived near
them in Yamhill and Washington
counties, and having occasion to
visit Salem frequently, should have
considerable weight among voters
who must of necessity get their in
formation from others regarding
the qualifications and fitness ot men
for whom they are asked to vote.

WILL USE
OIL FOR FUEL
ALL ENGINES TO BE EQUIPPED
All Southern Paoiflo Lines In Ore
gon to Be Fixed for Burning
Oil by June 1st.
Within a week says the Portland
Oregonian work will be begun at
the O. R. & N. Albina shops to
change the locomotives now oper
ating on that road over the divis
ions from Portland to Umatilla to
oil burners and by the last of next
month every engine hauling trains
over those divisions will use oil ex
clusively for fuel. Huge oil tanks
will be built in the Albina yards
and at the ends of the divisions be
tween Portland and Umatilla, work
upon which will be begun within a
short time. All Southern Pacific
lines in Oregon will be equipped
with oil-burning engines during the
coming spring, and by June it is
believed every locomotive hauling
Southern Pacific rolling stock will
use crude petroleum for fuel.
The change is being made by
the Harriman officials primarily for
economy, but there are other reas
ons why the new fuel will be used.
Among these is the desire of the
Harriman people to afford more
pleasant traveling conditions and do
away with cinders and the evil
smelling coal smoke almost every
where accompaniments of railroad
travel. The new fuel will do away
with sparks and reduce Are risks,
and it is believed it will be free
from the uneven heat afforded by
coal fires and will maintain a con
stant steam pressure.
"It is estimated 25 per cnt of
the expense for fuel will be saved
by burning oil," said J. F. Graham,
superintendent of motive power.
"Coal is now hauled from Wyom
ing aud in addition to being expen
sive, lacks much of being a perfect
fuel. The twenty-eight engines
operated on the divisions of the O.
R. & N. between Portland and
Umatilla will be made into oil-burn
ers'and both freight and passenger
trains will be hauled by locomo
tives using liquid fuel."
Oil tanks will be constructed at
Albina, The Dalles, Arlington,
Heppner and Umatilla and al
though the fuel will be brought
from California in tank cars tor a
while, later on barges will probab-
farrn ly be used to transport it to Port
is in land.
The change on the Southern Pa
cific lines will take more time, as
every engine in operation in Oregon
by this company will be equipped

City, Albany, Woodburn, Spring
field, St. Joseph and Portland.
These receptacles will range in ca
pacity from 10,000 to 50,000 bar
rels. On the tenders now hauled
behind the Southern Pacific engines,
piled high with coal or wood, tanks
will be built having a capacity of
from 3000 to 5000 gallons of oil,
enough fuel to steam a passenger
engine 200 miles or a freight loco
motive 100 miles.
The chauge in the fuel on the
Harriman lines will be hailed
with joy by locomotive fire
man as well as by the traveling
public, for it will mean a change in
the duties of the stoker that will
make the job a sinecure. By the
turning of a valve the fireman can
accomplish what nowrequires a
strong arm and considerable endur
ance. Standing on a swaying,
lurching footing, the fireman now
Has to heave coal or wood as far as
he can throw it into the open
rwouth of the furuace, and the hun
gry fire is always clamoring for
more. By the new arrangement
the position of locomotive fireman
promises to be one of the most
sought for in the service. The
crude oil will be pumped from the
tank on the tender into the fur
nace, where it will be led under the
boiler in a spray-like jet from an
atomizer and will burn with an in
tense blue flame. The fireman will
have to watch his feed valves closely
but the old back-breaking stunt of
heaving coal by the shovelful as far
aud as fast as he can throw it will
soon become a thing of the part on
the Harriman roads in Oregon.
The peanut vine differs in one re
spect from all other plants in the
world, so far as we know. The
flower ot the plant grows downward,
and after it falls the pod that con
tains the little nut is literally forced
into the ground by the rapid growth
of the rigid stalk from which it de
pends. It you would like to see
this interesting process, plant a few
"raw" peanuts in your yard or gar
den, aud watch the vine as the
flowers appear aud fall. You will
notice that if from any cause the
plant is unable to push the pod in
to the ground the peanut will cease
to grow and will remain undevel
oped. This explains why the pea
nut is sometimes called the "ground
nut."
Under the auspices ol the Carna
tion league, which was organized
to perpetuate the memory of the
martyred President McKinley, the
anniversary of the birth of the late
president was celebrated in Wash
ington, D. C, last Monday in all
circles of society. Carnations, the
favorite flowers of McKinley, were
in evidence everywhere and there
were few men in or around the capi
tol, who did not wear carnations iu
the buttonhole.
