A Travelling Mountain.

A travelling mountain is found at the
Cascades of the Columbia. 1t is a
triple peaked mass Of dark brown ba-
salt, six or eight miles in length where
it fronts the river, and rises to a height
Of almost 2000 feet above the water.
That it is in motion is the last thought
that would be likely to suggest itself to
the mind Of any one passing it; yet it is
a well established fact that this entire
mountain is moving, slowly but steadily,
down to the river, as il it had a deliber-
ate purpose some time in the future to
dam the Columbia and form great lake
from the Cascades to The Dailes.
In its forward and downward move
ment the forest along the base of the
ridge has become submerged in the
river. Large tree stumps can be seen
standing dead in the water on this shore.
The railway engineers and brakemen
find that the line of railway that skirts
the foot Of the mountain is being con-
tinually forced ont Of place. AT certain
points the permanent way and rails
have been pushed eight or ten feet out
OF line in few years.
Geologists attribute this strange phe-
nomenon to the fact that the basalt,
which constitutes the bulk OF the noun
tain, rests on substratum of conglom-
crate or saft sandstand, which the deep,
swift current OF the mighty river is con-
stantly wearing away, or that this softer
subrock is of itself yielding at great
depths to the enormous weigh of the
harder mineral above. e.-Goldwail Geo
graphical Magazine.
/ The Portland Telegram contradicts a
portion OF the above, as follows:
I The length of the mountain is not six
or eight miles, as stated. 1t has in re-
ality river frontage OF about one-hal
mile. 1t is not 2000 feet high, nor one
quarter that height, being more proper
Ny very large hill, Its movement to
ward the river is exceedingly slow, it
estimated ''best time" being about one
inch month or foot each year Un
4 less its descent becomes much mor'
rapid there is little danger of thu
/ Columbia river being obstructed, as th'
debris is washed away by the swift cur
rent just below the falls, AS it is be
low the Cascade rapids, there is no pos
sibility ofits causing the formation of I
lake between The Dalles and the Cas-
cades, as the writer in GoldwaiPs Maga
zine apprehenas, Otherwise the article
is probably correct.

SWEPT BY FIRE.


1900 Acres of Young Timber Burned Over
on Bacon Hill.
A most destructive forest fire swept
over the Bacon Hill woods on Monday
| and Tuesday and it is estimated that
upwards of two thousand acres of young
timber have been practically destroyed.
The loss falls principally upon the Nc
Cullough Iron Company. which is a
large land owner IN this section, the
burned track on their property covering
about 1900 acres. The other losers, and
their approximate acreage are DIR John H
lamar 100, Elisha Mahoney 60, Samuel
j. Keys, May Homes, and other strips of
land not as yet definitely reported.
The fire, it is said, originated from
sparks from passing train on the 7. w.
ana B. railroad shortly after two O'Clock
on Monday afternoon on the property of
DR.. lamar, situated on the south or Elk
Neck side, of the track quarter of a
mile above the Bacon Hill block signal
tower. The field was covered with
bushes and underground so that the
flames, famed by stiff North, wind
quickly communicated to the timber
land and spread in devastating flame to
the south, east and west. Scores of
railroad men were summoned to the
scene and the residents of the neighbor-
hood turned out en- mdSSe and began a
strong fight to check the progress of the
fire. Back fires were built and every
effort was turned toward saving the
farm property.
At eight o'clock Monday evening the
fire had traversed a distance of two
miles, almost to the Elk Neck road,
and like reaper moved broad
swath. The course of the fire
curved around cleared field on the
property of Mr.. Mahoney and during the
night burned north ward, the wind shift
ing to the South The flames were
pretty we'll under control by one O'Clock
on Tuesday morning but later in the day
strong south east wind sprang up and
again famed the fire into roaring
furnace. The course of the fire was now
across the Mccullough Iron Company's
woods to the tracks. Ths section men
who had worked during the night were
reinforced by railroad hands from Wilm-
ington and at one time during the day
one hundred men were fighting the fire,
which was again under control at six
clock and was later entirely subdued
by the shower early Wednesday morning
after having crossed to the North side of
the track, partly burning over swamp
owned by Mr.. Webster.

I'rackmen strike.

A reduction in the wages OF the track
men and day track walkers went into
effect on the P. W. & B. railroad on
Monday and was attended with decided
dissatisfaction on the part of the men, Sc
much so that hardly workman reported
on Tuesday morning, number OF gangs
having stopped on Monday. The Elkton
section gang of eight men under William
Watson joined in the semistrike or
rather refusal, which extended almost
unbroken from Philadelphia to Washing
ton. The man had been receiving 123
cents per hour per day of hours, and
the reduction to 10 cents per hour re
quired them to increase their hours of
labor per day to 10, to realize only 81
a day.
The strike continued until Friday
morning, when all, or the great majority
of the men went to work, accepting the
reduction, the company having issued
the order on Thursday that should the
men not return at that time, workmen
would be promptly forwarded to fill
their places,
