FORTY YEARS AGO.
Excerpts Taken from st. Paul Papers OF
Forty Years Ago.

Camping out in railway coaches
for nearlysten days, with the mer-
curry trying to disappear from view,
and the winds bowling on all sides
in the midst of a vast Minnesota
prairie is an experience one would
not wish to repeat. For the past
two days passengers who have spent
the greater portion of the present
year in a desperate effort to come
from La Crosse to St. Paul have
been coming in by stages from be-
tween Pennington and Rosemount,
where they were held for the great
err portion of the time by the storms.
They left La Crosse on the 18th
inst. by stage, and after an I'M
pleasant ride through slushy snow
and on sloppy ice Winona was
reached. Although a heavy snow
had fallen the Winona & St. Peter
road started it's cars through a
heavy snow storm. Faribault was
reached eventually. Schedule time
was thrown to the winds, the train
merely creeping through the drifts.
At this point connection was made
with the Minnesota Central. And
at this point the passengers would
have remained had they been wise.
But eagerness to reach their jour
ney's end outweighed everything
else, and they hurried aboard.
Twelve long, weary, chilly hours
were consumed in going from Fari-
bault to Pennington.
Something to eat was the next
problem. A few volunteers trudged
bravely through the drifts to every
farm house and store in reach.
Travelling bags were emptied of
their contents and taken along to
be filled with food, which was
scarce article in the little village.
A locomotive started forward to
investigate the condition of the
track ahead. 1t stuck fast quar-
ter of a mile from the train and
was unable to either go forward or
backward over a track but shortly
before cleared.
Night now came on; the prairie
breeze became a gale, and rocked
the passenger coaches so that the
train crew deserted in fear of being
wrecked by the wind and buried
in the ruins. The air was filled with
snow and at 80 degrees below zero
those still on board decided to risk
what seemed to them the lesser evil
and remain there.
Two hours after dark the stock
of wood looked as though it would
not last till midnight. The situa-
ton was a desperate one, as there
were a number of ladies on board
who were unused to hardship, and
if they did not freeze to death. a
fatal cold seemed certain. At this
juncture several gentlemen volun-
teered to sally forth to neighbor-
ing farm house. The bell ropes

SAGE RATS \ GREAT PEST.
They Do Great Damaeg to Crook
County Crops

q. l.. Paxton was in town during
the week from his homestead in 1914,
and reports that the grain in his
neighborhood is looking fine. and that
prospects for a big crop were never
before better, says the Madras Pio-
neer.
He says that the greatest menace to
the crops now is in the destruction
of the growing grain by sage rats,
which infest this section of the coun-
try in alarming numbers. During the
spring, Mr.. Paxton and his neighbor,
Jacob Looney, have been waging war
on these pests, and since February
they have caught and killed. includ-
ing the young, in the neighborhood of
5000 rats. They have had their best
success with traps, catching as many
as dozen day in one trap, and they
have also killed a great many by
shooting them. They put out some
poisoned grain, but Mr.. Paxton is of
the opinion that the strychnine only
acted as a tonic for the sage rats,
which do not seem to get enough of
the poison to prove fatal to them.
From Haycreek the report comes
that great damage has been done TO
the alfalfa fields owned by the B.
S. e L. Co. by these pests, spots in
the alfalfa fields having been entirely
denuded of the alfalfa. root. stalk

TO AMERICAN LAKE.
Troopers and Militiamcn to Enjoy
summer Encampment.

Present orders at Fort Walla Walla
are that the entire regiment start for
American Lake July Is for the en-
campment of the r'hole division of
which 1t is a part, says the Walla
Walla Union. 1t is not known wheth-
er these orders will be changed or not
on account of he present scattered
condition Of the regiment. There are
now only 109 enlisted men and five
officers at the post, and there Is no
way to tell when the rest will return.
The encampment is supposed to
begin July Is and continue to October
l. The Walla Walla troops will go
first to Portland where the division is
to mobilize, and thence overland to
American Lake. Division maneuvers
will be conducted under the command
of Brigadier General Funston. Drills
of every kind will be held. giving the
troops a taste of life with a large
army.
Besides the regulars, the militia of
the northwest states will largely be
present. 1t is thought that by mingl-
ing the state troops with the regulars
better results can be obtained than IL
the camps of the two branches of the
service were held regularly. While the
Officers in charge expect a good deal
of rivalry between the regulars and
militia, they feel that the competition

The following review of certain
phases of the railroad tax question
Is from the Baker City Herald:
Ihe assessors of the counties of
western Oregon in convention held 1t
Albany this week decided upon uni
form assessment of the Southern Pa
cific railroad properties at $4,000 n
mile. This is just three times what
the assessments have averaged here
tofore. The motion to increase the
assessment to $4,000 a mile was all
most unanimous, although Tax Agent
Morrow, of the Southern Pacific and
O. r. & N, was present to make OBJ
Jections to such a high valuation.
The assessors from Multnomah
Clackamas, Marion, Polk, Linn, Lane
Douglas and Benton counties vera
present at the meeting. They also
discussed valuations OF other propertv
and increased the assessment on the
Pullman car companies from 500 to
S400 per mile.
This is the first time the counties of
western Oregon have attempted to fix
a uniform assessment of railroad
property although the assessors of
eastern Oregon and the state have at
tempted to get together on the uues-
ton for some years. In Multnomah
county the assessment will remain at
100000 a mile, the price fixed by AS
SCISSOR Siglcr last year.
There is no doubt but this action
on the part of the assessors OF the
western part of the state will have the
effect of raising the railroad assess
ment all over the state. In eastern
Oregon along the line of the o. r. x
\. there will be a general increase
this year.
In Baker county under the new adj
ministration the assessment will not
be less than $4,000 mile and may
perhaps be raised to $4,000 a mile.
according to the increase in other
property values as fixed by Assessor
Fleetwood. Last year the Citizens
league petitioned the county court to
raise the assessment to $4,000
mile but this was not done. This
year there is new county court and
the assessment will go in proportion
to the value of other assessed proper
ty in Baker county. There is not the
least doubt of this. The o. r. & y.
will pay tax on a valuation in propor-
ton to the valuation OF other property
as 1t appears on the assessment rolls.
