portance of long rows by telling OF a
western farmer who had plowed land
100 rods wide and half-mile long. He
made three fields, each SO rods wide and

the long way of the row in three days,
while if going the other way there
was four days work. Just one day

Two engines and a eabOOse we're sent
out from Roswell Monday afternoon to
clear the track. The head engine was
SIS; Engineer Bush and Fireman Roach
The second engine was 9O7; Engineer
Mcclellan and Fireman Oaford. The
first engine was equipped with a pilot
pillow. They experienced no difficulty
until within about two miles Of PeytOn
when they ran at full speed into a drift
and both engines were ditched-the
forward one pitching into a bank on
one side. and the hind engine turning
over on its side in an opposite direc-
ton.
The fraiI snow pIow doubled under
and both engines passed over it, but it
stripped every truck to the rear Of the
second engines tender. Engineer
Mcclellan had his collar bone broken
and Fireman Oakford was pain
fully scalded by the breaking Of the
water glass. The engineer and fireman
Of the forward engine received lesser
injuries as their engine did not turn
over.
The wreck delayed travel as a track
had to be built around it, and up to
the hour Of going to press Thursday,
April 80 the engines have not been
brought In, as the ground Is so soft
great difficulty is experienced in right
ing them and getting them back on the
track again
The men are to be congratulated on
their escape with SLIGHT injuries.
