Telegraphers at Black Butte are

belief that their duty is chiefly
to prevent rolling stock from be

scatter out among the lava rocks
surrounding the station.
Some of the windy stories thev

railway records bear them out.
One box car was overturned
while moving, connecting with
cars on cither end, and its roof
was blown completely off. Thel

above the only parking place for

Do not get the impression that
this unusual railway station, re

three miles from Weed, and
about a half dozen miles from

Albert S. LN'cmir told a House

he does not feel that the sugar
price crisis necessarily is over.
Nemir look issue with Agricul

Murphy who said Wednesday
prices soon would be back at their

The spokesman for the Brazil

officials said soared to 18 per cent
in May. This was more than triple
the rate for adulU and caused the
