/ the car-reeord man and the young Eel
low who acted as q relief on the com.
mereial wire. When we got there
we found that TarbelI had happened
to be in the Office when Durgln blew
up. He was sitting In at the train
key, trying to get Crow Gulch, the
one intermediate wire station between
the two trains that had failed to get
their inject orders, and this was the
first ] knew that Ne really was the
expert telegraph operator that his
payroll description said he was
Durgin looked like a tortured ghost.
He was a thin. dark man with a sort
Of scattering beard and limp black
hair; one Of the clearest-headed dis
patchers in the bunch, and the very
last man, you'd say, to get ratified in
a tangle-up. Yet here he was, hunched
In a chair at the car-record table in
the corner, a staring-eyed, pallid-
faced wreck, with the sweat standing
In big drops on his forehead and his
hands shaking as If he had the palsy.
Morris, the relief man, gave us the
particulars, such as they we're, speak
ing in a hushed voice as If he was
afraid Of breaking In on TarbelPs
steady rafting Of the key In the Grow
Gulch station call.
Number Four"-Four was the east
bound @Flyer" lis Eve hours Off her
time" he explained. "As near as /
can get It. Durgin was going to make
her meet with Number Five at the
blind siding at Sand Greek tank. She
ought to have had her orders some
where west Of Bauxite Junction, and
Five ought to have got hers at Banta.
Durgin says he simply forgot that
the Flyer was running late that she
was still out and had a meet to make
somewhere with Five"
Brief as Morris explanation was,
it was clear enough for anybody who
knew the road and the schedules. The
regular meeting-point for the two pas
senger trains was at point well east
of Portal City, instead Of west, and
so, Of course, would not concern the
Desert Division crew OF either train.
since all crews were changed at Portal
City. From Banta to Bauxite juno
ton, some thirty-odd miles, there was
only one telegraph station, namely,
that at the Grow Gulch lumber camp,
seven miles beyond the Timber Noun
tain *" and the gravel pit where the
stolen 1915 had been abandoned.
Unluckily, Grow Gulch was only a
day station, the day wires being ham
died by young man who was half
in the pay Of the railroad and half
In that Of the saw-mIll company. Uhis
young man slept at the mill camp, |
which was a mile back in the gulch.
There was only one chance In q thou
sand that he would be down at the
station at ten o'clock at
night, and It was on that thersandth
chance that Tarbell was rafting the
Grow Gulch call. If Five were maxi
ing her card time, she was now about
halfway between Timber Mountain
X" and Grow GuIch. And -Four, the
Flyer" had just left Bauxite-with
40 orders whatever. Which meant that
he two trains would come together
somewhere near Sand Greek.
Mr.. Van Britt was as good a wire
nan as anybody on the line, but 1t
vas the boss who took things In hand.
There Is long-distance telephone
o the Grow Gulch saw-mill; have you

NEWS OF THE NAVAL RESERVE

, owing to the nature Of the service
during the war, were denied them.
Representative Charles b. Ward of
Efforts will be made to make the
service attractive to young men who
! were not old enough to participate in
the recently ended conflict. To that
end a recruiting service will be es-
tablished at the armory, Water and o
streets southwest. Monday night.
March Z. Any young man of eighteen
years or over and in good physical
condition will be taken into the serv-
ice. This is the first effort here at
recruiting the reserve force since the
war.
It was asserted by officers in charge
at the armory that young men who
enter this branch of the service now
will have a good opportunity to train
for promotion to the commissioned
grades. and should the United States
be unfortunate enough to be called
into another conflict they will have
good berths. Many young men who
trained with the local naval militia
before the war became officers after
they were called into the service.
For this purpose, schools are MAIN
tanned requiring but an hour and 3
half of time each week. There are
schools conducting regular courses
in navigation. ordnance and gunnery
and seamanship. Besides, the local
reserve force furnishes-opportuni
for the men to learn engineering, ra-
dio operating and maintenance and
signaling.

The men are looking forward to
the cruises with a great deal of in
terest, as, besides being able to keep
up to date on naval practices, they
have pleasures denied those who are
not members of the reserve and who
cannot have their own little yacht
for down-river cruises.
The work of the naval reservists is
being made more interesting every
week, and everything is being done
for the benefit of the men.
Those men who fail to attend drills
as required by the naval reserve act,
