The deleeates and visitors from Portland and other points went to Baker City In a special train of five Pullman cars, which they occupied during -their stay. One night while the cars were standing on a side track, a switching train bunted the cars, and as the hand brakes had not been set and the air had prob ably leaked out, four of the Pull mans, with their full quota of sleep ing knights, started on a down grade and traveled some three or four miles on the main line. Many of the occupants noticed the movement but supposed it was the switching: and thought no more of It. It re- j malned for Mr. Jewell and Judge! Burnett, of Salem, to do some In- vestigatlng, and they some found j that they were In a serious position. j They finally succeeded In setting thei hand brakes and stopped the cars, j Porters were awakened and sent in eaoh direction to flag any trains, and i another porter walked to Baker City j and secured an engine which picked; j up the cars. It was exceedingly for-j jtunate that the track was clear the : whole distance. Had the cars cone : la mile farther they would have come i to a sharp grade and curve wmcn1 would, without doubt, have ditched them with serious results. Geo. S. Calhoun was also a pass enger on the runaway cars.

The above two classes of land are'agement intermixed, and no definite line of elevation marks their boundaries, and this Is also true of the third class, or crazing land, though the best land for summer grazing Is high ground, from 3000 to 4.100 feet ele vation. In the Interior there are vast areas of high ridges that are particularly adapted for grazing; some of these have been denuded of timber by ancient fires, but much of It was never timbered. A great part of this grailng area Is covered with brush so as to be at present nearly useless. It can be reclaimed anl If once reseeded to grass and properly with cattle the been on a business trip to Coos j brush would be conquered and Curry county, returned to his farm on Saturday. W. L.
