Washington. d. c., Sept. A.
Widespread discussion of legislation
by congress to compel use of the
all steel cars has been caused
by the latest New Haven wreck.
Senator Norris discussed the sub
ject today. while the initial cost
of the steel car would be greater,
in the long run it would be cheaper
than the wooden car said he.
Senator Norris said that congress
would not act this session but
might in the next session. He
pointed out wooden cars should be
gradually displaced otherwise if the
roads were compelled instantly to
stop using them traffic would be
held up. He suggested that in the
meantime there be regulation of
the speed of wooden cars.

in raising horses.
A pasture is maintained on the

what they can themselves rustic.

Oreuon's Great Volcano.

The highest mountain now existing
in Oregon, Mount Hood, is only H..
225 feet high, but there was a time,
probably before the dawn of life upon
the earth, when great volcano
lowered far above Mount Hood, and
probably several thousand feet. This
was the great Mount Mazama. But
thousands of years ago this mountain
disappeared into the bowels of the
earth, and all that is now left is the
huge rim around Crater Lake, the in.
side walls of which are nearly 1000
feet high and almost perpendicular.
The crater is about six miles wide,
and the lake within it Is In some
places 1000 feet deep.
