A COLD RIDE.
to Greene on Vestibule. Hands
and Face Frozen.

Greene, Dec. l5.-Hanging OH the
outside railing of the vestibule of
a rear coach, with the temperature
twelve degrees below zero and the
train going nearly sixty miles an
hour, was the experience of Ralph
Crabb of Waterloo, who being una
BILE to retain his hold on the brass
hand rod fell to the platform of the
depot as the train neared the station
here early yesterday morning.
Crabb stated yesterday afternoon
that he was entering the station at
Cedar Falls, and seeing a Rock Is
land train leaving the station he cor
cluded it was the passenger train
for Waterloo. He ran down the de-
pot platform, seized the railing OF
the vestibule, but was unable to
open the door. He pounded on the
door in the hope of attracting the at
tention of the passengers in the
coach but with no result.
AS the train neared Greene, which
is thirty-three miles from Cedar
Falls, Marshall McHenry saw man
fall to the platform from the rear
coach, and with the assistance of Roy
Kelly, the night operator, he took
Crabb into the station and revived
him. DR.. Groom was called later and
attended the young man.
Crabb's face and hands were Sc
vrely frozen and when picked up
he was unable to move or speak. He
stated here yesterday that he was a
school teacher and that his home
was in Waterloo.

A Narrow Escape,

Last Wednesday afternoon Harold
Mckinney had narrow escape from
death. He had been out hunting,
and on his return stopped at the B.
E. Bucknell barber shop. He started
to unload the automatic shot gun he
had been using, when the gun was
accidentally discharged, tearing a
hole in the ceiling of the shop, and
narrowly missing Harold's head. The
call was so close that he don't care
for a repetition.

ty days and the estimates of cost as
certained. In the meantime the

more to submit the issue to vote.
The engineers reported that il
would be impossible to approximate
the cost before the kinds of pipes are
determined, as the cost would entel
so largely into the transaction.

will be at hand within a week anC
will be printed in the papers for the

of oil last Friday morning at 2
o'clock. The growers were afraid OF
frost and wired for a special train.
The cold spell took them unawares
and they were afraid of losing their
entire fruit crop. The train left San
Francisco at 5 o'clock Thursday even
ing, arrived in Ashland at 1880,
stayed here three and half minutes,
unloaded car at Vorhies and arrived
at Medford at o'clock, This was
exceeding the regular Shasta limited
time from San Francisco. The
Southern Pacific showed its perfect
organization in the way in which the
train was handled. While it was not

Prosperity Sure
Says Pres. Sproule

Declaring, with the promise of

states should forge ahead and help
to get prosperity started once more,
President William Sproule of the
Southern Pacific company has re-
turned from New York as optimistic
as ever in regard to conditions in gen.
erai. Mr.. Sproule's visit to New York
was of no particular significance, it
being a part of the natural routine of
his work to be in the east at least
twice a year.
"Preparations for the suit to
separate the Southern Pacific" said
Sproule, "are being handled here, rec
ognizing the suit is not merely ques-
ton for the railroad company, but
one that touches to very important
degree the material prosperity of the
Pacific coast states. We have a
strong desire to cooperate fully with
authorities who have shown so keer
an interest in the suit and desire
Ito cooperate with the company.
LAS for travel. this year 1t is dul
because people everywhere are saving
up to come to California next veal
for the exposition. Travel through
out the east is dull, too"

rose to within ten feet of the surface.
The water has been sent for analysis.
The well is located near the line sep

The experts think an artesian flow
is likely to be obtained at depth of
from 175 to 200 feet. The drilling is
getting very hard and the committee

deeper, as the present we'll indicates
a heavy flow of splendid soda.

Sam Hill Plans
Diverting Tourists

AS the Willamette Valley counties
have refused cooperation with Jack
son county in building the Pacific
Highway and Hood River has re-
fused cooperation with Multnomah,
Columbia and Clatsop in constructing
the Columbia Highway, Sam Hill,
father of the good roads movement
in the northwest, has figured out a
plan for uniting the two road-build-
ing sections and leaving the unpro-
gressive counties without the tourist
traffic.
my plan is this" said Mr. Hill
when the 1915 tourists come to
Jackson county over the Pacific High
way, send them to Crater Lake
thence through central Oregon, ovel
good natural roads to Biggs, where
the state is now building fine
grade. From Biggs have agreed tt
operate free ferry to Maryhill
across the Columbia. Here there i!
fine scenic highway to Stevenson
Beteween Stevenson, on the Wash
ington side, and Cascade Locks, oil
the Oregon side, Amos Benson ha
agreed to build and operate anothe
free ferry, which will land the tour
lists on to the Columbia Highway
Thus the tourists will see the mos
o scenic parts OF Oregon and be on goo,
roads all the time"
Mr.. Hill is highly enthused owe
the road activity in Jackson county
visiting the scene of operations o
the Central Point road with Highwa
Engineer Bowlby last Monday.
