THE OLD WAY

Up to a few years ago there had
been no important improvement in
the methods of curing, blending and
ripening tobacco since the days of
Sir Waiter Raleigh.
Cigar-makers continued to roll
cigars in the same old haphazard
way from leaf obtained 1t different
times, from different sources, in diff
ferent grades. Of these grades they
made a mixture and called it a
Blend"
Tobacco continued to be cured
after the fashion learned from the
Indians, the time given to the process
of ripening and maturing often de-
pending upon the demand for the
leaf or for the finished cigars.
There was not, and could not
be, such a thing as standard quality.
The cigar-maker never could be
certain that his product would run

was-a great difference between two

little volume entitled "The Pre-Adam.

were two creations of men-the first on
the sixth day Of the week Of creation,
when God created man male and fe.
male" The rabbis interpret the above
passage Of holy writ as meaning that
the first race Of human beings were
creatures in which both sexes were
united In the same Individual. Accord.
ing to De la Peyrere, Adam was the re.
suit Of the second creation, the "male
and female" being having been the pro-
genitor Of the gentiles, Adam the IA

Eastbound Extra Held Near Wilbur
for Week While WashOuts We're
Repaired-Water for Locomotives
Secured by Placing Troughs From
the Hillside to the Tanks-Crews
Ate e. J. Wilbur Out Of 'House and
Home"

An o. r. & N. freight crew and two
helper engines had an interesting ex-
perience on the Blue mountains near
Wilbur during the recent high water.
The freight train, an eastbound
extra, In charge of Conductor Charles
Stacey, with engines sos and 351 in
charge Of Engineers Baucom and Es-
ties, was near Wilbur when the freshet
came down Meacham creek on Tues
day evening, May 2S. and washed out
bridges before and behind It, ma
rooning the train on the main line be-
tween North Fork and Conway
There was nothing to do but set the
brakes on the train and keep the en-
gines alive" while repairs were made
east or west OF them to open the
tracks.
Both engines were almost out of
water when they stopped and It was
necessary to secure supply OF water
for the boilers at oncn. Tne train was
made up largely of loads of lumber
and roughs were made of new lum-
Der and these We're set up on scaffolds
and supply of water was run into
the tanks from a small stream which
came down the mountain side. II was
necessary to build about GO feet of
trough to reach from the tank TO the
hillside.
In this way the engine on the head
end of the train was supplied. The
helper on the rear of the train was
supplied from trough placed in f. J..
Wilbur's irrigation ditch and thus for
five days the marooned engines were
supplied with water from the troughs.
In the meantime the coal supply
ran down and II was necessary to
carry drift wood. cord wood, fence
rails, old ties and every kind of fuel
available to keep the fires going.
The crews boarded at f. ]. Will
bur's home near the marooned train.
This sudden increase IN the size of the
Wilbur family, soon exhausted the
supply OF food and It was necessary
for Mr.. Wilbur to go to Meacham on
horseback, n distance OF 10 miles. and
secure a supply OF provisions for the
boarders.
Before the track was repaired 1t
was necessary to calk the flues in one
OF the engines. The fire was put out
and 'he water let out of the boiler.
Engineer Baucom acting as machinist.
cnlked the flues and then in order to
I'LL the boiler before starting the fire
again, he took out the whistle valve
on the steam dome and filled the boil
er through that opening by means of
the troughs from the hillside.
After week the train was released
and the engines pulled IT to La
Grande with their scanty supply of
coal, aided by large supply of drift
wood and cord wood.
During the same week Engineer ]
A. Carlson, with Kamela helper. was
held at North Fork. unable to reach
home. However, he had sufficient
supply of both coal and water on
hand.

How 10 Use brains,

A head man in a manufactory was
watching drayman tugging at a
heavy case one day. The drayman's
face was red, and the muscles of his
neck were bulging. The overseer, says
a writer in the Baltimore Sun, thought
it was the right moment to offer prac-
teal assistance.
"Wait a minute there" he said. Let
me show you how easy it is when you
use little brain with your muscle" "
And he grabbed hook, stuck it into
the case, gave yank and went sprawl
ing into the gutter under the dray. He
got W, looked at the hook and said,
"Confound it, the handle comes off,
"Yes. sir" said the drayman respect
fully. MY brain told me that, and l
didn't use it."

millions of Bushels OF Wheat Is Actu-

Practise Is Common in All the Great
Wheat Ccntcrs OF the United States.

Gigantic systems of robbery which
have been practiced by the elevator

and Wisconsin in 10 years have been
swindled out of 26,OOO,OOO bushels of
wheat and have been paid for their
wheat as of an inferior grade, which
had been sold abroad as of a higher
grade.
American grain inspection at the
present time is conducted under three
distinct classes of control. The oldest
type is that by which board of trade
employs inspectors to examine car.
load lots Of grain arriving at a mar
ket. The second is the state inspec-
tion now in operation in such states as
Kansas. Missouri, Illinois. Minnesota
and Washington. The third is where
inspectors are employed by common
carriers.
Great abuses have been shown TO
exist in each of these systems. and
American consular agents have re-
ported within recent years numerous
cases where the quality of grain GER
titled in the consignment has been al
together false and in other cases the
complaints of American dealers have
shown where they too, have been inn
