RoMANCER FROM TACOMA.
His Specially Is Vegetation and He is
Making His Mark.

Tacoma, Wash, Sept. 13.-One Of the
best farmers stories on record is that
of the Kansas man who SAID his pump
kin vines grew so fast that they wore
the pumpkins all out dragging them
over the ground. But neck and neck with
it is the account of a recent traveller
from eastern Washington and Oregon.
The Oregon Railway and Navigation
company have had endless difficulty
in the shifting of the sands by the
winds, which carry them backward
and forward Heretofore they have
used wooden windbreaks planted in
sand dunes, which are about as stable
as most houses built upon the sands.
Recently they have found the solution
of their difficulties in kind of grass
imported from the steppes of Russia.
This grass takes root easily in any soil,
to which it's growth gives stability.
This late Munchausen testifies that
while his train stopped at Walleela
Junction they planted some of this
Russian grass. The wind was blow
ing gale and in the direction of the
moving train. Heavy bets were laid
as to which would arrive at Walla
Walla first-the wind, the grass or the
train. The wind came in first, the
the grass was a close second and the
train was an even length behind.
