Oregon Railroad Comnisaioners Report
on Lake Labish Disaster.


Oregon Railroad Commissioners Report
on Lake Labish Disaster.
SALEM. Or, Nov. 2L-This evening Ore
CONS board of railroad commissioners
submitted q report OF their findings in the
matter Of the train disaster at Lake Labish,
Marion county, Oregon, November, IL. The
report says 1t was found that two reasons
were assigned for the disaster, to-wit:
Fint-That rail had been removed from the
track by some person or persons unknown,
which was said to be the primary cause Of the
wreck.
Second-That the structure had fallen on ac-
count Of age and the weakness of its parts.
After hearing the evidence of various wit
neesee, and giving personal inspection of the
wreck the board finds that there is no satisfac-
tory evidence Ia support Of the proposition that
Q rail had been removed. That the following
tacts are established BY preponderance Of evt-
dence:
Fifst--That train No. is, consisting Of eight
cars, ran into the trcstle at Lake Labish at .
rate Of speed Of about twenty miles per hour.
Second-That airbsakes were firmly and sud-
denly applied. which caused the structure to
give way at point about 600 feet south OF the
north approach. precipitating the engine and
three carr Into tine marsh, distance Of sixteen
feet and throwing down the entire structure
from where the break occurred to the north
end causing the death Of the engineer, fireman
and an unknown man. and seriously injuring
other trainmen and large number Of passen-
gerA
Third-That the structure was faulty In the
following particulars: the bents. considering
the nature of the ground. it being Doggy and
spongy. were too far apart; the ties were too
widely spread; the rails were in q state of de-
Cay and but few were properly fastened and
set 20 - 70 furnish no safeguard: that much Of
49, ~
the caps and sills, had more or less
decayed: that the bents were not.su niciently
sway-braced: that some OF the piles supporting
the bents were unsound: that many OF the
stringer bolts had been allowed to become
loosened.
For these reasons the structure was found not
TO be sufficiently strong to sustain the weight OF
moving trains under such conditions a. are
likely to present themselves on any railroad and
Ct any time.

A Great Engineering Feat.

The greatest engineering feat in the
history of the anthracite coal mining is
about to begin. 1t is the commencement of
what will be known as the Jeddo tunnel,
which will be driven for the purpose of
draining the flooded mines of Jeddo and
Harleigh. 1t will be constructed from
Butler valley, Penn, to the bottom of
Ebervale Mammoth Vein, distance of
three miles, through solid rock, to be
eight feet square in the clear. The
scheme of tunneling through the noun
tain first occurred to John Marlllc, who
is to be president of the company,
which will bear the title Of Jeddo Tun-
mel Company, Limited. 1t will open an
incxhaustible supply of coal and furnish
employment for thousands of people for
many years to come 1t will also serve
the double purpose of draining all the
collieries in the valley.--[Wasllington

A Plague Of Rats.

The cry against the rat army rises
loud from Lincolnshire, England. Vast
as was the multitude of these pests last
winter, it is said they will be far more
numerous in the coming season; and
serious apprchenslons ara entertained by
the farmers for the safety of their ricks
and farms. The professional rat catch
ers are reaping rich harvest, for in
some places no less than six cents per
head is being paid for the destruction of
the pests.
The ordinary methods of combating
them appear to be wholly insufficient
for the emergency. Vast numbers of
remedies have been suggested, and
curiously- -contrived traps of many kinds
have been recommended, the one which
received most favor being barrel baited
for n night or two with grain, and then
three quarters filled with water, with a
sprinkling half an inch thick of bran up
ON its surface.
This was said to be most successful,
hundreds of rats committing voluntary
suicide in single night. But this de-
vice, excellent though it may be of clear
ing barn of established depredators,
fails against an army coming from all di-
rections. 1t is clear that if the Pied Pi-
per would make his appearance in Lin
colnshire he could earn fortune in a
very short time. SO far the charms of
music have not been tried, and the far
mers of Lincolnshire are left to their un-
aided efforts to combat the plague. -

The Famous Hanging Gardens.

The most extraordinary architectural
work of Babylon before its fall was the
Hanging Gardens" which King Neb-
uchadnezzar erected for his wife Amytis.
Southern Syria is region of most infer
nal heat in summer, inasmuch as it is q
level plain and the climate semi-tropical.
And thus it was that Nebuchadnezzar
undertook the task of building for his
royal bride sort of terraced garden far
above the level of the earth. 1t was an
artificial mountain 400 feet in height
and reared with terraces resting upon
columns, the whole bound together by q
wall % feet thick On the uppcrmost ter
race were reservoirs for irrigation, supplied
with river water by an engine worked by
slaves. The terraces, thus raised upon
columns, were overlaid with earth to a
depth sufficient to support the largest
trees, and artificial streams with fish in
them flowed along the terraces, descend
ing from one to another in miniature
cataracts. 81 Washington Star.
