D. R. { n. TRAIN
IS HAPPY THEME
ANTI-SUMNIER FALLOW
CAMPAIGN is ON
Special Train of Lecturers and Farm
ing Experts Causes Much Com
ment-Farmers Everywhere Are
Taking Deep Interest in the Sub
icct.

That the midsummer fallow cam
paign started by the o. r. & N. Is
going to be the cause Of much dis
cussion and interest throughout the
inland empire, is shown by express
sions from the press.
The Spokesman Review says of
the special train and its mission:
Great interest is reported among
farmers of the inland empire in the
educational train which will be run
over the o. r. & N. lines, starting
from Pullman March s. The object
of the plan is to encourage diversi-
fled farming. Professor Elliott of
the Washington State college and
other members of the faculty will tell
the farmers at the different stops
how they can make money by grow
ing other crops than wheat.
"The traffic department of the o..
r. & N. for several years has been
interested in the dlversification OF
crops in the territory served by its
rails" said A. MacCorquodale, district
freight agent of the o. r. & ~. yes
terday. "The road has established at
different times experimental farms
at Washtucna, La Crosse, Kahlotus
and other points, which have been of
great benefit to the farmers. Large
areas of land in Washington are ly-
ing idle every year, under summer
fallow, which, If crops would be di-
versified, could be continually pro-
ducing.
"R. b. Miller of Portland. general
freight agent of the o. r. & N, at a
recent meeting of the Spokane cham
Der of commerce, addressed the mem
bers on diversified farming in WASH
ington. After some correspondence
between the Washington State COL
lege and Mr.. Miller it has been ar
ranged to run a special farming dem
onstration train over the lines Of the
o. r. & ~, in charge of members of
the faculty of the agricultural col
lege, who will lecture and demon
strate for the farmers. The baggage
car will contain a collection of agri-
cultural products, and lectures will be
given in a coach, which will accom-
modate so or 60 people.
"A free discussion by the farmers
will be invited. and the lecturers will
request them to ask questions on the
subjects treated"

PURCHASERS ALSO LIABLE.
May Lose Lands Under Southern Pa
cific Grant. Bought from Road.

Buyers Of railroad grant lands
from the Oregon & California may
be attacked as well as the railroad
company, under the Fulton resolu-
tion, authorizing the attorney-gen-
eral to begin suits to enforce the
compliance with the terms of the
grants-namely that the lands shall
be sold for $3.50 an acre in lots Of
not more than 100 acres to each pur-
chaser, and to actual settlers only,
says the Eugene Guard.
This double authority conferred on
the department Of justice by the res
olution greatly concerns holders Of
the lands, who have obtained their
tracts from the railroad in violation
Of these terms. Nearly 100000
acres have been sold by the railroad
in violation Of these terms, and much
OF these lands contain the most val
liable timber in the state. The pos

with the belief that the courts
will regard them as innocent pur-
chasers. But the government will
contend that it was the business of
the buyers to know the restrictions
placed by congress on the sale Of the
lands, that many of them bought
from the railroad before the govern
ment had issued patents, and that
deeds violating the terms of the
grants cannot convey title and are
void.

Wording Is Broad.

The wording of the Fulton resolu-
ton is broad and authorizes the at
torney general to institute practical
ly any suits that he may deem ex-
pedient Including the claim on be-
half of the government that the lands
granted by each of said acts respec-
lively, or any part thereof, have been
and are hereby forfeited to the Unit
ed States by reason of any breaches or
violations of any of the terms or
conditions of either. or any of the
said acts"
The resolution also authorizes the
attorney general to institute suits to
ascertain the rights Of the United
States as to the lands granted to the
Coos Bay Wagon Road company for
wagon road from Roseburg to Coos
Bay. By the terms of that grant the
lands were to be sold for not more
than $3.50 an acre and in lots of not
more than 100 acres TO each pur-
chaser.
These restrictions have been vio-
lated like those attached to the rail-
road lands, by sale in bulk and at
higher prices than $3.50 an acre and
by refusal of the company to sell to
applicants for land at $3.50 an acre.

ENGINEER SAVES
MANY LIVES
Mr.. Pauley, Former ClOyerpOrt
Man Prevents Horrible Dis
aSter at Paris, III.
ONE WOMAN STRUCK

Only by the prompt action of
Engineer Pauley of this city and
the quick and instant response of
the emergency brakes was a horri-
BILE disaster, one which would have
meant great loss of life, averted at
Paris on Saturday night, when
train No. 81, west bound, bore
down upon a crowd of people who
were at the station, just having ar
rived on another train from picnic
grounds nearby. AS twas only one
persona woman was hurt, and
she was struck by the pilot of No.
q and hurled from the track. The
victim was Mrs. Jerry Bennett who
was removed to a hospital and later
to her home. Her injuries are not
serious.
How Ii Occurred
The people of Paris had been
spending the day at picnic grou-
nds several miles east of Paris.
An excursion train had been MAX
ing periodical trips during the day,
and its schedule was close on that
of No. q, which is a fast train, its
cargo being comprised mostly of
mail. The excursion train, having
just made its trip from the grounds
was depositing its passengers at
the Paris station, having run in
on side track, when the fast train
made its appearance. The main
track was thronged with people
and as the fast train was making
pretty fair speed at the time it was
all engineer Pauley could accom-
plish in bringing his train to a
standstlll just In time. Had 1t been
otherwise a number of persons in
all probability would have been
killed, as men came to the rescue of
others who had failed to notice
their danger and literally pushed
and showed them from the track
At the sight of No. q the people
endangered, especially the women
and children, became panic stric-
ken and paralyzed with fear. En-
gineer Pauley and his fireman c..
c. Jones, brought their train on
to this city and made the remain
der of its trip without further
mishap. NATION, Ill. Journal.
