Those who hurried to the scene
found that engine No. 1927. with
freight train No. 2o2 had u onto
what is known as 1.-THE long siding

for the main line. and collided with
some cars that had been left on the
siding, about half a mile west Of

Engineer Tom Wright. Fireman
Bigelow and McCreary. the head

Three OF the cars on the siding were
smashed almost to kindling wood. the
top OF the first resting on the top Of

The Oregon boot is so made that the

eight or twelve pounds. 1t is fastened
to the heel of the shoe by strips of

These strips are screwed to the heel.
When the prisoner stands or sits down
the weight, therefore. is not upon the

BUSINESS Side of Farming.

In almost every section We see men
who have failed in business. and as
the last resort have gone to farming,
It used to be popular cpinicn that
man could farm when he had ialleu
in everything else, but that time Is
past. A farmer today needs brain,
coupled with muscle: He must be
the master of his operations and not
the servant. A true farmer ma:cs
his farm furnish him the necessities
as well as the comforts OF life. anu
come Injuries. but above all, content
ment and satisfaction. Three ele-
ments are necessary to make sue
cess in any calling, intelligence. In
dustry and economy. Education. the
very best farmer can acquire, Should
be his. as farmer needs Information
In many lines. He is a mannfactur-
er, salesman. chemist and entomoio-
gist, and coupled with some of these
things he must be familiar with his
farm. He must study his environ
ment and govern his operations ac'
cordingly. He must work his farm SO
ns to get as much profit per acre as
possible, and at the same time make
his soil more productive. He must
know what he wants to dc. and then
stick to it through thick and thin,
through high prices and low. By so
doing he can establish reputation as
a producer of certain article, and his
profits will be much larger. The sec
ond Is industry. The man that Is
lazy and indolent and is always at the
corner grocery cultivatlng the soft
side of a store box will never make a
success at farming, such men will
never be able to go to the bank and
draw more than his breath. He
who would succeed must either hold
or drive" The last is economy. The
young man or old to succeed must
practice economy. He must never
never buy something he cannot afford
just 10 keep up in a certain social
set. or for any other reason. If we
apply business methods to all of our
observations as closely rs other men
do, success will crown our efforts, and
the world will be better hy us having
