Train Saved by a Tramp.

Last Thursday night, while the wind
was blowing almost a gale, the ther-
mometer running down at the rate Of
3 degrees an hour, and everything
freezing, making it one of the worst
nights on record here, a tramp per-
formed a brave deed. After the shoe
fly had gone up, a large tree fell across
the track of the Central about a mile
above Eden. making a dangerous OBJ
struction, which would have wrecked
the first train passing. This obstruc-
ton was found by the tramp. He
made all haste to reach Eden, the
nearest station, hunted up the agent,
and notified him of the accident. There
is no telegraph office at Eden, and the
agent knew he would not have time to
notify the section foreman and tie tel
egraph office at Meldrim both. The
tramp again offered his services and
carried the message to Meldrim, and
the night passenger train went safely
through, the passengers never know
ing they had probably been saved the
horrors of an awful accident by the
prompt action of the tramp.-Meldrim

The stages In the onward march of
the forest over a clearing are most in
teresting. Perhaps two or thsee hun
dred acres, In one instance, had been
planted with sugar canes and fifty In
p%lantains, vegetables and fruit. There
would be a fair-sized dwelling house,
a water or cattle sugar mill, huts for
the negroes and a wharf on the river
bank. The planter decides to give up
the place, as he had an offer of n
more fertile piece of land on the coast.

Guiding the machinery of his mill, he
abandoned the rest, carrying away his
negroes, and left the clearing to ma

Already a thicket has grown up which

Of a cutlass. After a great deal OF
labor you reach the borders of the once

Along the line of forest trees a dense
wall of creepers rises sixty to a hun

veil to the dark arcade beyond. From
these stretch out long ropes, twining
vegetable serpents and giants fingers,
all moving toward what was once the
open space. Some are hundreds OF
yards long, roofing at the joints,
whence other branches radiate and
form the dense obstruction we have
cut through.

"A general banking business is lone by

wASco COUNTY FRUIT.

For the past two or three years Wasco
county apples and straw berries have at
tracted wide attention, and this has
been due, in q considerable degree, to
the packing and marketing. This sum-
mer our cherries are attracting atten-
ton in the attention in the eastern
states. One writer comments particu-
larly upon that packing, and suggests
that a Californian had a hand in the
packing. We do not believe Califor-
nian had anything to do with it. But
this illustrates the Importance of this
branch of the business. Fruit well
packed will sell for good price, when
fruit Improperly picked and packed will
not sell at any price. The raisers of
peaches In Ohio, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, and other peach growing states,
have learned this. Packed in small and
attractive packages, their products are
sold at profit. Passing through these
regions on the cars, we have seen at the
depots these packages awaiting ship
ment, each email basket neatly covered
with pink mesquite netting that added
much to the beauty of the fruit and
tempted everyone who saw them to
purchase. Skill and care in some such
devices in packing does much to aid the
sale.
Now that cur cherries are finding q
market, why not our grapes, our prunes
plums and other fruits?

having any peaches will probably find
them Improbable for other than local
markets.
Inquiry is still made about shipments
of peach plums, and it may be well to
make carload shipments of this fruit !;
but we must take great care in packing.
These prove profitable shippers in other
states, and it is best to settle this year
whether or not our Oregon peach plums
are good for anything. We think they
are. Black republican cherries are In
greater demand than the Royal Anne,
and we do not look for great decline
in prices. If. there is decline at all, it
will be Immediately after July 4th.

FOURTH OF JULY BOYCOTTED

Just wherein the labor unions of San
Francisco are going to help themselves
or avenge their supposed grievances
against the United States government
by refusing to have good time on the
Fourth, we do not see. If the Fourth of
July is good for anything, it is by reason
of the patriotic sentiment it engenders
by recalling the separation from Eng
land, which was the inception of the
national life. The labor unions seem to
regard the day as one sacred to the pres
ent administration, and to feel that by
refusing to celebrate the present oficialS
will feel hurt. They will learn that the
rest of the nation will bang the cannon,
wave the flag, fire the rockets, and snap
the firecrackers just the same; that the
government will continue to govern, and
all-wise men will honor the nation the
more because it is a nation, notwith-
standing the pouting labor unions of
San Francisco refuse to have a good
time. We wish they would join the
rest of us in the patriotic jubilee; but if
they won't, we are going to have good
time just the same.
