WIFE COMES FROM ITALY;
FINDS HUSBAND ARMLESS

Cleveland. Ohio.-Failing to hear
from her husband for several months,
a young woman came here from her
home in Italy a few days ago, only
to find her husband with both arms
cut off.
The case is one of the most pa
thetic that has come to the attention
of the Associated Charities. The hus-
band, who is 23, came to this country
some months ago and secured work
in Buffalo as an engine cleaner. His
ambition was 10 prepare a home and
send for his wife. One night he fell in
front of a train and both his arms
were cut off. He dreaded to notify
his wife of his misfortune and took
up his residence with relatives.
The wife, who is 20, not hearing
from her husband for four months,
secured enough money and came to
Buffalo and then on to Cleveland.
When she met him here there were
no warm embraces for her-nothing
but a big man with tears in his eyes
and his arms gone. The man has
been trying to secure employment but
it has been a frutless task.
The young wife yesterday express
ed her intention of securing employ
ment and looking after her disabled
husband, but she too will have a
hard time, for she speaks but little
English. In the meantime they are
living with relatives.

NEW LOCOMOTIVES
ARE WONDERFUL TYPE.

The first Of the four LOCOMOTIVES
which are to haul trains through the
Cataract tunnel of the Great North
ern railroad, is now being severely
tested. The locomotive is Of the
double-truck type. Each truck is fit
ted with two motors which are of the
three-phase induction type The To-
comotive has an overall length Of As
feet, with a rigid wheel base Of II
feet, and its total weight is 100000
pounds. 1t is equipped with four
trolleys, two Of which are used in
each direction, the rails serving as the
third conductor. The current will be
supplied at 5000 volts and will be
transformed in the locomotive to 500
volts. The Cataract tunnel is nearly
three miles long and has a uniform
grade Of about II per cent. The To-
comOtiye is designed to give a speed
Of about Is miles per hour up grade

Change Color OF WarsbIps.

There will be some sentimental re-
gret expressed over the decision OF
the navy department to change the
color Of our future warshlps from
white to a dull gray. The first bat
tleship to be so painted will be the
Maine, which has just returned from
her cruise around the world. Slate
gray, the universal war color, is
adopted because Of its comparative
invisibillty. The custom Of painting
warships white is costly because the
frequent coaling Of the ships quick
ly mars their appearance and necessi-
tates frequent repalntlng.-Scientific

NORTH BANK TRAINS.
First Regular Passenger Trains Run
Tuesday,

To the accompaniment of the cheers
of several hundred people who had
gathered on the bridges across the
Peninsula cut of the North Bank, the
first regular revenue-earning train OF
the new pine pulled out Of Portland
this morning, bound for Vancouver
and PascO, says Tuesdays Portland
Journal.
Locomotive No. 456 had the honor
of pulling the train, which included
coaches 100, 200 and POI and baggage
and mail cars. 1t left the passenger
depot at Eleventh and Hoyt streets
at sos and was comfortably filled
with passengers. People were gath
cred all along the route OF the road
between Portland and Vancouver, and
a large crowd of several hundred peo-
pie lined the tracks near East St.
Johns and crowded on the wagon
bridges across the cut. The trip to
Vancouver was made without Incl
dent other than the reception accord
ed the train at East st. Johns.
An important feature of the trip
was the first time that mail has been
carried between Portland and VAN
couver by steam train. The contract
between the North Bank road and the
government for carrying mail has not
yet been signed, but the road will car
ry the mail free for a few days until
the contract is signed and accepted by
both parties.
The mail service via the railroad
will be supplemented with that Of the
Portland-Vancouver electric line,
The first Seattle, Portland &c Spo-
kane train carrying passengers into

Hermiston, Ore. Nov. 1S.-(Spec-
ial)-That between 400 and 500 acres
OF fruit trees and grape vines will be
set out in this vicinity this fall is be-
lieved by f. p. Dodd, secretary Of the
East Umatilla Fruitgrowers' associa-
tior.
Most OF the settlers upon the pro-
ject are members Of the fruitraisers'
association and they have pooled
their nursery orders. As n result a
uniform grade Of fruit will be raised
here and 1t IS believed the result will
be generally beneficial to growers.
Intending fruitraisers are also using
good care in setting out trees in order
that there may be no failure upon the
project
Peaches and grapes are the favorite
fruits for this section, though some
other classes OF fruit will also be rais>
ed. The Flamed Tokay grape is be-
ing secured and it is confidently be-
lieved by those who have Investigated
conditions that this grape will do wen
here II il does there will be inn
mense money in grape raising as the
Flamed Tokay brings a high price.
An order for 10000 vines has already
been placed through the fruitgrowers'
association.
Comparatively little alfalfa is being
scwn this fall as most of the settlers
are commencing at once upon or
charding Colonel Newport now has
120 acres in alfalfa and will seed an
other 100 acres in the spring. The
Maxwell company likewise has 100
acres now in alfalfa.
Preparing for Opening.
Just now there IS much interest here
in the second opening which the gov
ernment has announced will occur in
the near future. The land to be
thrown open lies several miles north
east of Hermiston. The government
is now busy laying pipes through that
tract, a 46-inch pipe being laid for
distance of a mile and a half. The
It servoir is now being filled with wa.
ter and the rye grass that was sown
along the irrigation bitches is now
above the ground. 1t was sown for
the purpose OF holding the ditch
banks.
New Building Proposed.
Another new concrete building is
proposed for this city. 1t is to be built
by ]. w Emry. harness dealer and

here. The building, so it is rumored.
will be erected at the corner OF Sec |
