RAILROADS
BIG LOCOMOTIVE AT WORK
479,5OO-POUND DUPLEX ENGINE
OF THE B. & o. NOT EXPENSIVE
IN OPERATION.

The succ essful performance of the
locomotive that was exhibited at the
st. Louis exposition has been crafty
ing, to the management and to the
builders OF the machine. It is the lar
gest in the world and the only Mallet
locomotive ever built. In reality, it is
carried on two sets of drivewheels.
With tender attached, the weight is
479,5O0 pounds.
After the exposition the engine was
taken to the Connellsville division to
assist heavy freight trains over the
engine during five months shows the
various special features combined in the
design to give satisfactory results from
an operating standpoint.
1t has been found that the cost per
ton mile in the maintenance Of this
locomotive will be no greater than that
for ordinary consolidation types Of
lighter capacity when operating over
| combination of level and mountain
Gus divisions. It will consume less coal
than the various types of simple con-
solidation locomotives now in the SER
vice, and when operated on compare
lively level lines, it consumes mate
rally less coal per ton mile, while at
traffic over the road.
In several test trips made with the
Mallet locomotive, one engineer and
one fireman have been used to operate
it, with no failures or delays on account
OF the locomotive.
In mountain helper service locomo-
tives are frequently required to remain
at work for extraordinary periods be-
tween cleaning the fire, and during
such intervals, with the forcing Of
fires to the maximum, doing short SER
vice and pushing trains up the grade,
| together with drifting down grade, and
long time between trips, there is con
siderable opportunity for variation of
temperature in the frebox and fues,
which would tend to cause leakage and
failure. Under such conditions, how
ever, the 2,400 has been able to meet
the, requirement and at the same time
make use of an ordinary grade of run
of-mine bituminous coal and maintain
| ample boiler pressure at all times to
| handle the work.

To me the Bible is more glorious for its
mistakes, and for its conformity to the
type of men who produced it. If you
knew the temper and spirit Of the men
known as higher critics. you would
cease your aspersions on them, and rec
ognize them as leaders Of thought.

VERY LIKE MUNCHAUSEN
THRILLING STORY OF A TRAIN
ROBBERY TOLD BY A MODEST
ENOUGH HERO.

Chief O'Connor of the st. Paul police
force, is seeking to determine whether
H. D. Price, a young PENNSYLVANIA
now residing in the "far west' is a
second Baron Munchausen or is really en-
titled to recognition by the directors of
the Carnegie hero fund.
Price recently went west to grow up
with the country. He passed thru st.
Paul. While riding into South St. Paul
berry, was attacked with yellow backed
novelitis or was simply becoming i'm
bued with the spirit of the "wild and
woolly' where the six shooter is mon
arch of all it surveys. ..-.
Whatever the cause young Price
penned his parental ancestors a price
less contribution in which he described
youthful hero who, with his trusty
weapon, killed one bandit, winged an
other and put two more to flight just
in time to save himself and his fellow
passengers from real robbery. The
puarental pride was such that the letter
was turned over to the local paper
where it was "played up' in the finest
of journalistic styles. The heros feat
was duly heralded to his admiring
friends. -. -s
The clipping was yesterday received
by Chief O'Connor who has been look
ing in vain for frightened passengers
and wounded bandits. Price s letter
reads as follows: ~....-
Dear Father: I got to st. Paul, but
the train was held up by four masked
men south of st. Paul. The train stopped
and the conductor came in almost scared
to death, and said: I'VE are held up, take
care Of yourselves" jumped right up
and ran to the front door and there met
one Of the robbers. We tried our guns.
They both cracked at once, but he missed
me. I soaked a AS in his breast and he
sank at my feet The other desperate
started to run, but he got it in the hip
and nearly cut it off. The other two got
in the brush and got away, But I think
| that they will get them. When we ar
! rived in st. Paul I never saw such a
| crowd of people, and all Of them almost
| frightened to death because two men had
| been shot. They took them to the hos
pital and the doctor said there was no
| hope for the one shot in the breast. ]
will send you paper if I can get one
| before I start, then you can see all the
! particulars Of It, I had too much money
with me to let four men rob a train

o. r. e. NJ. WILL NOT STOP AT
WALLOWA WITH ITS Ell
GIN BRANCH.
Hartman Interests Have Ordered Gen.
eraI Manager O'Brien to Make
the Further Extension.

The Oregon Railway & Navigation
company will extend it's line from Ell
gin to Joseph in the Wallowa country.
At first it was officially announced
that extension would only go as far as
Walowa, but now comes the informa-
ton from Portland that General Man.
ager ]. P. O'Brien, Of the Hartman
lines in Oregon and Washington, is
empowered to proceed with the con-
struction of the extension of the Ell
gin branch to Joseph, Wallowa coun-
ty. A contract for II miles of the road
Cabe, but in a short time arrange
ments will be made for a continuation
of the line on to the intended terminus.
The o. r. & N. has been handi-
capped since starting the road in such
a way that it has been doubted if it
would be pushed to completion within
the time expected. A right of way has
not been obtained the entire distance
because of the fight between the Har-
riman interests and the promoters of
an electric railway, who proposed ira
yersing the same route. The electric
concern has secured rights through
the canyon and the o. r. & N, has
been engaged in a legal battle to force
an entrance there. The only opening
to attain that end now is by resort
ing to condemnation proceedings,
which is being done. The line will be
carried forward as originally pro-
posed. it is said, though at consider
able additional cost.
The entire road will be approximate
ly IS miles in length. 1t will proceed
northeast from Elgin, emerging on the
Wallowa river an then proceeding by
a circuitous route southeasterly to
Joseph At some later time the O. r.
& n. may construct a continuation OF
the Elgin road to meet the proposed
line down the Snake from Huntington
building along the Grand Ronde river

IRELAND'S SCOURGE.
Mortality From Consumption Appall-
ing-KelIy Case Recalled.

DUBLIN, Oct. 26.-The mortality
from consumption in Cork county and
city as disclosed in the inquiries of the
vice-regal commission on poor law re-
form is absolutely appalling. While
in England and Wales the mortality
is decreasing, in Ireland, and es-
pecially in Cork, it is increasing. For
this the poverty of the people is large
ly responsible.
Wholesome food, healthful homes
and fresh air are among the chief
preventives of consumption. But
much can also be done by public edu-
cation as to the causes of the origin
and spread of the disease. In the old
days hundreds of thousands of lives
were sacrificed to the fallacy that
consumption was neither infectious
nor contagious. The fallacy has dis
appeared, but enough of the old feel
ing vet remains to diminish the me-
cessary precautions against the infec-
ton of consumption.

Fifteen Will Leave This Week Land

PENDLETON, Oct. 26.-It is not

ing population in parts of Umatil1a
county, although the county is now
richer and producing more wheat.
hay. fruit and livestock than ever be-
fore.
This week about Is persone will leave
Athena for Canada and in the past
two years about 200 people from
different parts of the county have pre-
coded this party.
Frank Rack, deputy stock Inspector
for Umatillt county. yesterday in
spected about 70 head of work horses
which will be sent to Canada this
week. Among those who are in the
last party to leave for Canada are tho
following: Steve Canargy and Alex
Lemery with 40 head of horses for
Claresholm and E. G. Taylor, A. c.
Mcintyre and ]. A. Mcintyre, with 50
head of horses for Nanton, Canada.
All these people have been engaged
in farming in the vicinity of Athena.
and will buy land in Canada and To-
cate permanently there. Within the
past two years. one entire district near
Claresholm has been settled by UNA
tilla county people and all are well
satisfied with their new homes.
When asked if they preferred to live
in Canada rather than in Umatille
county every person interview by tho
East Oregonian on the subject has de-
clared that he preferred Umatilla
county, but that the move was one
for speculation solely.
Wheat land can be sold in the vi
cinity of Athena for from $40 to
SS5 per acre and raw land can be
bought in Canada for from SO to
SIS per acre, thus giving the new
settlers from five to seven acres in
Canada to one in Umatilla county.

INSPECTORS OF LAND DEPART
MENT AT WORK IN UNA
TILLA COUNTY.
Claimed That Many Bogus Homestead
Entries Will be Unearthed-Sa-
loon Men Offenders.

The public land investigation has
reached Umatilla county. A camp of
special land inspectors has just been
established three miles south of
Ukiah, and the fences found on gov
eminent land are being ordered torn
down in wholesale lots. Surveys are
being made to determine lines Of all
homesteads that are fenced says the
East OregOnian.
1t is estimated that SO miles of fence
on the public domain will be torn
down and rolled up in the southern
part of the county, and that numerous
homestead filings will be cancelled or
contested as a result of the visit Of
the inspectors to that portion of the
county.
Photographs of residences" from
Pilot Rock to the Grant county line
have been taken and forwarded to the
department at Washington and a gen.
eral investigation of land entries is
now in progress.
In many places shacks worth from
IS to $40 each are holding valuable
claims. Some of these shacks have
been occupied by the homesteader.
Some have not. Some of the resi-
dences" are habitable. Others are
it were, with none of the comforts or
conveniences of modern architecture
in their makeup.
The government took it's tip from
the statement of the East Oregon1an
several days ago to the effect that
gamblers and saloon men of Pendle-
ton, who, in the last election, claimed
to be homesteaders and registered in
the outside precincts, are this year
registering for the city election in
Pendleton.
Three inspectors are now in camp
at the headquarters near Ukiah and
have ordered down miles of fencing
which is found on public domain. They
are also taking notes on homesteads
located in that portion of the county
and it is thought to be the beginning
of a general investigation of land
matters of this section of the state.
The story is told of "homesteader'
who runs a gambling game in this city
that some time after he had made
final proof On his homestead, he was
seized with a virtuous desire to look
upon the land he had resided upon
and cultivated"
He drove out into the country to
inquire where the land was located,
which he had entered, held and made
proof upon. He had never seen the
numbers of the land and did not know
where it was located, and so ne was
disappointed and came back with his
desire unsatisfied.
All such filings are to be rigidly in
vestigated.

FROM NORTHWEST PAPERS
Mysterious Case.

About 1890 last night Marshal
Wood and Night Waterman Graf
found a man lying on the sidewalk at
the corner of Second and Washington
streets apparently dead, or dead drunk.
After getting him to the city Jail they
discovered that his pulse was very
weak and that he was more than
drunk. Wood telephoned to DR.. Reuter-
who soon reached the Jail and seeing
signs of poisoning, began working with
him. using the stomach pump. The
contents of his stomach proved that in
some way he had got dose of car
bolic acid. The presence of morphine
in the stomach was also detected.
After working with him for about
three hours, he rallied, and this morn
ing was able to talk, but can give no
definite account of last nights per-
Torrance.
He proved to be Frank Deetz,
man of about 35 years, who is en-
ployed by the o. r. & N. company.
Deetz says he had been drinking some,
hut not a great deal. That he had
been in several saloons On Front street
and had also taken drink out of
bottle his partner had bought. When
his partner called at the Jail this
morning he said Deetz left him and
wandered away, he didn't know where,
but that the drink he gave him was
n,ra labeled goods They seem to be
of the opinion that someone endeav-
ored to knock him OUT and rob him.
