Portland, Ore.-The veterans in
the service of tho Oregon Railroad &c
Navigation company will receive the
compliments of the Christmas season
for the company in the shape of an
official notice of the Inauguration of G.
new pension system beginning Janu-
airy /, 1903. The information was CIV
en- out by President A. H. Mohler to-
day. The circular of notification was
issued today and is dated the 25th of
December. The circular says:
"On January 1, 1903, the Oregon
Railroad & Navigation company will
establish pension system and pro-
vide the necessary fund for the same,
the benefits of which will accrue to
those employees who have been 20
years continuously in the company's
service, and who have reached an age
necessitating retirement therefrom.
The amount of pension to be paid
any employee will depend upon the
length Of his continuous service with
the company. and the average month
ly salary during the last 10 years
thereof"

almost every land on Jan. l. This, of
course, is particularly the case with
young people who desire to know wheth-
er they will get married during the rom-
ing year or soon thereafter. In the coun-
try districts of England and Germany
there is a tea and coffee test which is
most satisfactory. A teaspoon is balanc-
ed carefully on the edge of a cup. Then
tea or coffee, as the case may be, is drop
ped into it, drop by drop. Every drop
that the spoon will hold without losing

the wedding. One or two large drops will
usually upset the spoon, and so this is
a very popular way of looking into the
future.

Fatal California.

San Francisco-The list of fatalities
attending the railroad collision at
Byron, Cal, is receiving frequent ad-
ditions at the Southern Pacific hospital
in this city, where % of the victims
have been brought. Eight deaths are
reported beside the 10 killed outright.
A telegram from Fresno announces
the death of d. j. Vernon, another of
the injured.
Other patients are reported in a
critical condition.
AS inquiry is progressing into the
cause of the collision, a new complex
ion is given to the origin of the dis
aster. Immediately following the
meeting of the trains the supposition
was advanced that Engineer MCGUIRE
of the Stockton Flyer was largely at
fault. Recent developments places
the burned and bruised engineer in a
different light. 1t is acknowledged
that the leak in the boiled of the Owl
engine delayed the progress of the
train and when it reached Byron there
had been considerable schedule time
iooS' "h0h SOhuuCIOr Wilildm DOldn
of the Owl stopped at Byron he found
a freight train standing on the other
track and he sought to- secure its en-
CINE to supplant the faulty one of the
Owl. 1t is asserted that considerable
time was lost in trying to arrange the
transfer before the plan was found I'M
availing and then it was decided to
send dagman to signal the approach
ing local.

is very unfavorable. To meet a cat on
the morn of the new year is considered by
people in the Latin countries as q sign
that they will change their residence, and
it also betokens i'll for the future.
Throughout southern Europe it is re-
garded as a most fortunate sign to see
pig, signifying plenty for the coming
twelvemonth. The sight of a snake is the
worst conceivable omen, for it means
death by violence. To see a jackdaw,
maybe or crow is a sign that the be-
holder will be cheated on all sides during
the following year.
On New Years day q hard-headed
Scotchman will take Bible and place 1t
upon a table, letting it fall open of its
own accord. Then, without looking, he
will place his finger upon the page where
it has opened and read the verse on which
it rests. This is supposed to indicate his
fortune for the coming twelvemonth.
In France the children do not hang
Up their stockings on Christmas, but on

comes with a whole convoy of angels to
help him carry the gifts which he brings

ter do not enter the parlor where the
stockings are hung until each one has
knelt before the father, of the family and
received his blessing.
New Years day in Persia is celebrated
much as our Easter is. Fancy eggs are

skin without losing the feathers. The
fowl was then dressed, stuffed with all

sewed into its skin. still retaining the
