Nursery Top Grated Cherry Trees

Lewis Brothers whose nursery is
located at Russellville, one of the sub
urbs of Portland. have made a good
hit in their method of top grating
cherry trees which are subject to
gumosis. The stock, or trunk is of
the Mazzard variety which does not
gum and the grating is done about
"a to 60 inches above the grond. They
have several thousand of these trees
which have made very smooth union
at the point where grated. From,
experiments carried on during the
past four years indications are that
Royal Ann, Bing, Lewelling BLACK
Rep.) and others of the Bigarreau
varieties can be made into bearing
trees without bleeding to death by this
method better than by the root-bud-
ding or root grating method.

The people Of the Canal who went to
Seattle to meet the volunteers returned
home last week. Brinnon sent quite a
delegation to meet her boy, George Smith,
and Riverside welcomed her boy, Arthur
Eells, home last Friday. He brought with
him trunk full of Philippine curios, some
of which are mementoes of battles. and
some are nice native work Perhaps the
most interesting is the fattened bullets
which were in his cartridge belt, and which
were struck by the enemy S bullet when he
was wounded, and which plainly saved his
life. Brinnon has two other representa-
tives still in the army who have recently
joined Walter Horner and Arthur Wilson.
Both will serve in the Philippines.

ordered all along the line. The particu-

On Northwestern and Three Nen Injured


~ pAc " new Olm were surprised
early Saturday morning to hear Of re-
~ bad wreck on the Northwestern road
opposite the local freight depot in which
three persons Thos. Collins, j. Burke
and g. Durigan were severely injured
and six cars entirely smashed. The wreck
occurred at about four o'clock in the
morning. Freight train No. Is had left
Tracy about midnight. Louis Ballard
was the engineer; 6. 81. Miller the con-
3ductor; and Owen urigan the brakeman. &
The train which consisted of 90 cars was
laden with wheat, -four, etc. Il broke
in two while coming down the grade and
Engineer Ballard was Immediately sig
nailed to. Either he did not understand
the signals or else he lost his head, for
instead Of going on he stopped and the
rear cad of the train struck the front
section and in the twinkling of an eye
the three men referred to were injured
and q monste- wreck covered the track
with debris, So quickly did the thing
happen that brakeman Durigan did not
have time to put on the brakes. He was
thrown from the car with frightful speed
and sustained injuries in the back.
Tom Collins, who was injured intern
ally, was the engineer on switch engine
No. 618 which stood on the adjoining
track. He was getting ready to pull
out %. Though he saw something was
wrong he did not have time to ESCAPE
injury. Fireman Burke signalied to him
but too late. AS he jumped to the plat
form Of his engine flying splinters from
the wreck caught him.
J. Burke, fireman Of engine 618 who
had his knee cap dlslocated, also knew
OF the imminent danger but he too was
too late. The flying splinters struck
him like flash. s
Collins, Burke and Durigan were cared
for BY Dr.. Stricken.
The tracks AL Saturday were crowded
with debris and grain and flour. Hun
dreds of New Ulm citizens went down to-
the station to view the wreck.
A Wrecking train and a crew Of men
came early in the morning to clear the.
tracks. The men worked industriously
T.
all day and when night came the tracks
were open.
The Carnage caused by the wreck can
not be fixed exactly. They are approx.
imately $4,000.
The blame for the accident has not
been given out at least publicly
.Durgan and Burke claim that they do
not know. who is to blame. They do not
accuse Ballard of negligence.
