tUN1TRp panss LEASED wuE.l

Portland, Ore, May 1.S-The Hill

regard to trackage arrangement.

the railroad officials today.

ilict on the lines have been adjusted

thus shutting out the latter road.
Further, the Oregon Trunk bridge
at Crooked river is to become free
to the Deschutes road trains, and
running powers will be given to
point 500 feet south of Redmond.
In return the Desehutes company
will convey TO the Oregon Trunk the
necessary right Of way for the line
of the latter through the Smith
ranch, possession of which was ac-
'quired by the Hartman people. The
Smith ranch is close to the Warm
Springs reservation.

pany is to grant the necessary per-
mission for the overhead crossing OF
the tracks OF the oregon Trunk at

Hands and Arms
In Dreadful State
with Eczema Baby Lay

Another Wonderful Cure by Hoods

'TWhen my baby was four months
old his face broke out with eczema.
The doctor said he would soon be all
right, but he steadily grew worse and
at sixteen months of age, his face,
hands and arms were in a dreadful
state The eczema seemed to be
spreading all over his body. His face
was so sore, we were obliged to put
mask or cloth over It, We were
obliged also to tie up his hands and
arms to prevent him from scratching
the inhamed places. We consulted
other doctors, used ointments and
salves sent US by friends and neigh
bors. Some of these things would
seem to have some effect but after
few days would act like a poison, and
Increase this stubborn disease.
"Just one year ago this month baby

that we must give up trying to find
any cure or relief. Our hearts were

off his engine and give him other
work
mot long ago we had a parallel
case. An old fireman left Chicago
several years ago and took an engine
on the Illinois Central, and he had
some strange fancies, too. He held
out for five or six years, and then be-
gan to race with a shadow. 1t was
that of an Indian warrior mounted on
a white horse and speeding along the
prairies beside the track. In this in
stance the fireman's superstition
was excited, and he, too, saw the
phantom. Would you believe that
they flung Jumps of coal at the sha-
dow and fired at it with revolvers?
They actually did, and one night
overran their time and bumped
against a freight, making a bad mix
up"
Not long ago the engineer of
train running out of Chicago walked
into headquarters and asked for
layoff for three months. At first he
would give no excuse for his request,
but finally admitted that he was
afraid of killing someone on his run.
He was breaking down, and, instead
of racing with imaginary horses he
was running over imaginary persons.
He is one of the few engineers to ad-
nit his nervousness, but this admis-
sion was his salvation. He got rest
for three months and then went back
to the cab with his old nerve restored.
But it is not only the engineer that
Is superstitious. Trainmen in gen.
eral, if we are to believe those who
ought to know, have their pet ideas
Particularly is this true of the old
time brakeman who considered it a
bad omen to have a woman the first
passenger to board train just start
ing on it's run. 1t is bad luck, in
brakie's opinion, to allow hunch-
back or cripple to be the first to en-
ter train, and he will delay these
persons with inquiries about ticket
or destination in the hope that some
"sound" man will be the first to
ascend the steps to the train. A
one-armed man on train is viewed
as an omen of accident.
Engineers consider it bad luck to
count the number of cars in a train
while rounding a curve. A careless
fireman sometimes allows the engine
bell to toll. This is supposed to car
ry a warning to the engineer that
some member of his family will soon
die. If the headlight of an engine
goes out as the engine is leaving the
round-house a warning of death is
seen in the coming trip.
A left-handed engineer is con-
sidered a hoodoo, and firemen and
brakemen often seek a transfer to
other trains when they happen to be
associated with such a one. 1t is a
belief that when one accident befalls
q train others Will follow In rapid
1t is considered unlucky to take
the place of a trainman who has been
killed in an accident, at leaGt till sew
eral days have elapsed. Trainnen
dislike the presence of a corpse in
the baggage car, just as sailors OBJ
ject to carrying a corpse at sea, They
are particularly careful, when they
must carry a corpse, not to place the
feet of a dead person toward the
engine.
These are only a few of hundreds
Of superstitions which might be

ENGINEERS "sEE THINGS"
Strange Experience of Men Who
Guide Big Locomotives.

There are today living in Chicago
perhaps some twenty-five men who
have left the cab of the locomotive
for some other employment and in
some cases the reasons for leaving
are curious enough. 1t is hard to
find a drinker who will admit that
liquor hurts him, or a user of tobac-
co who will agree with the doctors
that nicotine slowly and surely shat
ters his nervo system. And it is
harder still to find an engineer who
will admit that the long hours cease
less vigils and rough riding have
weakened the nerves. Still, it is a
fact that many otherwise strong men
break down and are assigned other
work, because they have reached
point where they "see things"
HE was an excellent man for
years." said a station official, as he
pointed to retired engineer loung-
ing around the Union station in Chi
Gag "but the time came when he
imagined he saw shadows, and we
had to retire him"
'"saw shadows?" was asked.
Yes. They seemed realities to
him, of course, but to other they
were phantoms. In the last year of
his run l was on his train one night
when we stopped twice in twelve
miles for Instructions on the track
and yet there was not so much as a
straw on the rails. Another night he !
stopped dead still at the end of a
bridge believing the structure gone,
and toward the last he began picking
up corpses at the crossroads,
His nerves were so unstrung," eX- /
planned the official that when his |
train dashed across a country high |
way on a dark night he would inn
ag ne that the locomotive had strucl, |
farmers wagon. and he would halt
the train to run back and investigate.
There are many men, however, on
the roads running out of Chicago who
are as good today as they were when |
they entered the cab fifteen or TWEEN /
" years ago. Il all depends on their /
temperament The constant vigilance
and burden of responsibility are a /
terrible worry TO some and no burden |
at all to others. Then the motion of |
an engine would OF itself tend to
break down some men.
Three or four years ago the engl- |
neer of a train began to chase
horse. One night after leaving
junction below here, black horse |
jumped ON the track ahead of him |
and led him race for several miles |
Il was only his imagination, but he
was as certain that he saw real
