ed by the presence of the milk cans
that rest upon the platforms of the
a calk os. litis xaci was lurthei ac­
cented by a view of herds of cows in
the pastures, or on the near by moun­
tain ranges. As the train gets high­
er up toward the summit, the crowd
of mill men and loggers who are al­
ways in evidence, going or coming,
drop off a some mill or logging camp,
and vacant seats become more num­
erous.
At the station in East Portland, a
very stout woman got on the train,
and in addition to her other belong­
ings, with which her arms were en­
cumbered, she carried a canary bird,
which later indulged in fragmentary
twitterings, and several times essay­
ed to sing. In its efforts it was aid­
ed by the stout woman, who puckered
her lips and whistled little bars of en­
couragement.
When birdie finally
got to singing the fat woman seemed
greatly delighted, and looked around
at the other passengers with apparent
pride, which without being uttered
meant: “I told you so!” The pass­
engers were entertained by the can­
ary until a logging camp was reach­
ed, when the fat woman and the would
be songster from the Hartz moun­
tains, got off the train, and that part
of the entertainment ceased.
Next on the program was when a
couple of young men began to talk
about the various logging camps in
which they had worked, and to find
fault with the two inches of snow
that lay on he ground. They were
from California, and berated them­
selves soundly for leaving the sunny
climate of middle California for the
“frigid” atmosphere of Oregon. Each
predicted that after a montn’s work
they would be on their way back to
the redwoods. MTien finally they got
off the train two acclimated Oregon­
ian loggers who sat near them in the
smoker, expressed their opinions
about the Californians quite freely.
One of them had known one of the
Californians in former years.
“That bird,” said the Oregonian,
“never sticks longer than a month
anywhere. When he gets in a new
camp, he usually begins to find fault
with the food, and growls and kicks
from the time he arrives until he
quits. Why, that fellow,” said the
Oregonian, wouldn’t stay in Leaven­
worth more than two weeks on a two
years sentence.”
Lunch was taken at the summit,
where fifteen minutes is allowed by
the railroad company to appease the
hunger of passengers who do not pro­
vide a lunch for the trip. Here, the
