When President Burt arrived in Omaha
Thursday morning he told a disconsola-e
looking engineer to cheer up, as
the Union Pacific would in a very short
rire have . number Of the big new pas
senger engines here ready for duty. and
that would alleviate the strain to a great
extent.
Yesterday at the ONCE Of President
Burt this statement was verified. That
oficial denied himself to the reporters, but
his private secretary, Mr.. Orr. said that
five Of the big passenger engines had
already been shipped and we're on their
way ITO Omaha. Moreover. he stated that
there were some nifty CT more engines in
all to come. and that they would be deliv-
cred In groups Of half a dozen or so stead
lily from now on.
II was said. however, that these ship
ments had no reference to the strike. The
engines were all ordered last April and
May. before the labor troubles began, and
at the time they were contracted for one
clause arranged for their shipment In jan
uAry.
strikers Say "NO Engines"
Strikers take no stock in the assurances
Of the railway president that the mcLive
power famine is thus to be immed1atGly
relieved. They say the road will not get
any engines whatever till the strike is set
ued, or not more than one at the most.
They say that as soon as such n move was
started they would discover It, and not
more than one locomotive would get to the
company before they would have all the
rest blocked from coming. Ever II they

BAD Luck With His Panama.

Congressman Hopkins of Aurora
bought Panama hat, wore it two
days and then laid it away, probably
for good. The first day gust Of
wind took it from his head and he
had to chase it two blocks. Next
afternoon he and his new hat were
caught in heavy shower. Putting
the Panama under his coat, he made
dash for shelter, but colided with
another man on similar mission.
His handsome head-covering suffered
badly in the collision, and the Aurora

to the wise is sufficient
When we reached Waterville we found
ourselves in very different country from
the one Just described This town is the
county seat of Douglas county, and is seven
teen hundred feet above the Columbia river.
It is essentially grain country and wheat,
oats and barley are the chief products. But
the people raise fruit here, and, with proper
care, may make money at the business lrrl-
cation in most cases is out OF the question.
The rainfall is from twelve to sixteen inches
annually To get the best results the fruit
grower must conserve the moisture with IRE
uuent civilizations during the entire summer.
I should Judge from all I could learn, that
the Big Bend country does not differ very
much from the Palouse country, and there
fruit is proftably raised.
The Hon. j. R. Anderson, deputy minister
of agriculture for British Columbia, has sent
out the following circular with reference to
"Crows'' I wrote him that these birds had
never done any damage in our orchards, so
far as I know Mr. Anderson wrote back
and said: cit would appear from what
you say that the crows of Washington have
not acquired the bad habits of their brothers
of British Columbia. F" If any reader Of The
Ranch knows of crows doing any damage to
fruit, especially if he knows any way to get
rid of this pest, we would be pleased to hear
from him. The following is the circular re-
ferred to:
"CROWS."
1t has been represented to the department OF
agriculture that the depredations of these birds
has become so great as to render fruit growing
improbable in some sections of the province
Some of the reports which have reached this de-
partment represent that the crows are at work dur
ing the fruit season for eighteen hours out OF
the twenty-four, which means that they begin
operations long before most people are out of bed
and continue them during meal times and late
in the evening; moreover, they no respecters
of Sundays holidays and the unfortunate or
chardist must therefore, if he wishes to preserve
his crop of fruit, be the alert from daylight
to dark and must never relax his viligance for
single moment for at that critical moment the
signal is most likely given and in few minutes
