ing with General Manager Payson Tuck
er of the Maine Central railroad for the
equipment Of several passenger coaches
and freight cars with the s'Norton Auto
matte Car Coupler.' The Norton coup
Ter is the invention of Captain Pearson,

and in numerous meetings, and also the
national law requiring coupler to be
strintly automatic in every respect The
Norton coupler has been in use for nine
months on some of the leading roads
running into Boston, and for four months
on the Boston & Maine railroad. 1t is
said to have stood the most severe tests,
and to have the written testimonial of
Hon. Everett A. Stevens of the Massa-
chusetts board Of railroad commissioners.
It is said TO be the only coupler that
will couple with both heads locked and
it is not necessary to go, or reach, be-
tween cars TO couple or uncouple them.
1t locks on any curve, and the sharper the
curve the more firmly it holds 1t is
stated that the Norton company have
been already offered two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars for their patents
by New York syndicate and large
royalty on all couplers manufactured.
Captain W. E. Pearson, the inventor, is
the only brother of Rev. S. F. Pearson
of this city, who holds a large interest

PORTLAND (Or), Aug. 1.-The
United States District Attorneys office
has begun a crusade against the sheep
and cattle men who have been causing
trouble by encroaching on the Cascade
forest reserve near Cloud Gap, on
Mount Hood. To-day six warrants were
issued for the arrest of sheep men now
lasturing their herds on the reserve,
and more are to follow.
In the case Of the Tygh Valley Land
and Cattle Company, against whom in
formation has been filed, Judge Film
ger made an order requiring the de-
PENDANTS to show cause why restrain
ing order keeping them off the reserve
should not issue. From this it would
seem that this court intends taking
summary measures.
Henry Failing. the banker, and
George DeeKum, who have been in the
mountains during the past week. state
that the sheep men are firing the under
brush in many places, with the object of
bettering next years pasturage. II is
from this source that most Of the de-
structive fires which sweep the mount
aims each summer originate.
