AnImportrnt yis,t,

Mr.. Ahio Watt, of the o. r. & N,
Co., made visit to this section few
days since that is of considerable i'm.
portance to the entire upper country.
His mission here was to settle certain
right-of-way questions, and to con
slider the advisability of changing the
roadbed between The Dalles and Gel
lilo, so as to give room for the proposed
boat-railway. We understand Mr..
Watt stated that it was the intention
OF the company to move the roadbed
in many places so as to make room for
the boat-railway, and that there would
be no clash between the government
and the o. r. & N. with regard to the
right.of-way.
If we are correctly informed, there
will be no hinderances in the way OF
the government in its efforts to remove
the distractions to navigation in the
upper river, and should Senator Nit
chell's bill become q law, there is moth.

work at an early date. Since the O..
R. & N. Co. holds title to consider.
able of the right of way over which
the boat-railway must be built, their
willingness to transfer title to the gov.
ernment is of great Importance, and
will be of assistance in securing an
appropriation from congress.

Railroading in Webfoot.

Mr.. W. C. Allaway, agent for the
D. P. & A. N. Co. at this place, re-
turned this morning from a visit to
Portland, Salem, Independence and
Monmouth, and reports having had q
varied experience railroading in Web
foot. He took passage on west side
train from Portland, and says it took
the train three hours to make run oi
twenty-six miles. At the various way.
stations wagons would back up to the
cars and take off or put on freight, and
while this loading and unloading was
going on, the passengers had nothing
to occupy their minds except to admire
the scenery presented by Wehfoot
farms, the Coast Range mountains and
the proverbial Willamette valley mud.
Railroading down there is evidently a
much slower means of locomotiop
than is steamboating on the Colup5 5ia
by the Regulator line.

mittee which met in Portland yester-

An Honored Citizen Gone.

Clarence v. Lane died at his home
in Antelope on Monday, February 3,
1895, after lingering illness of many
months. Mr.. Lane was born at New
Brunswick, Canada, January 2, 1857,
and came to Eastern Oregon in 1878,
locating near Antelope, where he en-
gagged in stockraising, and where, by
the exercise of strict honor and integ-
rity, he drew around him large
circle of warm personal friends,
who join his bereaved wife in mourn.
ing for the departed dead. In the
death of Mr.. Lane Wasco county
has lost substantial and honored citi
zen, the community in which he lived
respected neighbor, and his bereaved
wifs kind and affectionate husband.
The remains arrived in this city Tues
day and were inferred in the Odd
Fellows cemetery, the funeral taking
place from Crandall & Burgett's un-
dertaking parlors at P. NJ. Thursday.

A NEW LIGHT.
With 1t Bullet Can be Plainly Seen Im-
bedded in a Mans Ankle,

With 1t a Bullet Can be Plainly Seen In
| bedded in Mans Ankle,
1t seems possible, if not highly prop
able, that not only the dissection of
dead bodies, but vivisection, will soon
be abandoned as unnecessary aids to
scientific research. If the medical
student can be furnished with photo
graphs showing, separately or COL
lectively, each and all of the organs of
the human or brute body as they ap-
pear in life or DEATH, and under all
conditions, there will be no necessity
for dissection either ante norton or
post mortem. With the removal of
necessity, the business will end, for it
is not so extremely enjoyable, with all
its attendant troubles, that 1t will be
followed for amusement. Prof. Roent-
gen, of the Bavarian University of
Wurzburg, is credited with the dis
covery of a new light by the means of
which the bones of the human body,
and, presumably, any other part, can
be photographed through the flesh.
1t appears that this scientist has been
experimenting with a light derived
from radient heat by means of Crooks
tubes. The Crook tube is a vacuum
glass through which an electric induc.
tion current passes, whose rays, the
products of intense heat, are thrown
upon the object which it is desired to
photograph.
An account of Prof Roentgen's ex-
periments describes results obtained
by the professor that are, even in this
age of wonder, decidedly astonishing:
HE photographer man g ankle in
which bullet was Embedded, showing
the bullet jast1 it was lodged.
she photographed leather purse,
showingthe money in it with perfect |
distinction. A human hand was SUBJ
jected to the rays, and the result was a
picture of its bones, with the envelope |
of flesh only a shadowy form around
them. The most startling experiment
was the photograph of young man
beside young woman, which showed |
but skeleton form. It is al
so said that an iron weight was photo
through box, the box disap-
pearlng in the picture"

Being Buried Alive.

Mr.. and Mrs. Hogan Narrowly Escape
Being Buried Alive.
Ever since the fire of 1891, the walls
OF the old Fitzgerald building have
stood yawning as a reminder of tina,
terrible day which was the most dis.
ajLrous in the history of The Dalles,
and Wednesday they came near ad.
| ding another sad event to the annals
of the city. For some time past the
walls have been considered unsafe, and
had been partially hraced to keep them
in an upright position, but the bracing
was not sufficient to withstand the
force of the severe wind which pre-
vailed Wednesday morning, and al 2:30
A. NJ. about forty feet of the east wall
next to Second street gave way. Fiji
teen feet from the wall was a small
box building, the front room of which
was occupied by Mrs. J. J. Hogan $
photograph gallery, and the rooms to
the rear were used by Mr.. and Mrs.
Hogan for living apartments. This
building is a total wreck, the falling
wall having struck it with full force,
crushing the front part to the ground,
burrying all Of Mrs. Hogan's photo
graphing outfit with foot or me re of
brick, but fortunately the portion occu-
pied by Mr.. and Mrs. Hogan as sleep
ing apartments withstood the force of
the falling debris, and although badly
damaged, did not fall.
At the time of the accident Mr.. and
Mrs. Hogan were sleeping soundly in
a folding bed, and the first intimation
they had of danger was when the crash
came. Mrs. Hogan was thrown out of
bed with such violence as to render
her semi-unconscious for a time, but
Mr.. Hogan was caught in the folds Of
the bed, which collapsed with the
crash, and it was with some difficulty
that he was extricated by the assist
ance of his wife after she regained |
consciousness.
Everything in the photograph gal
lery was completely demolished, and
Mrs. Hogan's loss will be several
hundred dollars, but most of their
household furniture escaped without
damage. While the accident is most
one in the sense of the de-
of property, yet Mr.. and
Mrs. Hogan are indeed fortunate to
have escaped without serious bodily
injury, for had ten feet more of the
brick wall gone down, they would have
been buried under the debris, and
most likely killed.
The Fitzgerald ruins are owned by
J II. Shearer, and the building oc-
,upied by the gallery was the property
of o. Kinersley. 1t being a total
wreck, Mr.. Kiners!ey estimates his
oss to be $3.50.
