anyone desires to help him look for it, it
was lost in Plattsmonth somewhere be

South Park and the standpipe. If the
key h is been found the finder w'll be
mentioned in a gilt edged local the day
following its retnrn to this f5ce. No
other reward will be given, but the scribe
will, if desired, listen to a ten minute
lecture on how to hang on to your post

STRANGE AND PECULIAR FEATURES
OF RAILROADING IN OREGON.

"If you ever go tip to Oregon," salil Col. J
M. Suiiter at tho Uuldwin, "you don't want
to miss a trip over tlio Nnrrow Esonio rail
way that runs from an indefinite point out
side of Portland to wherever nfglit overtakes
tho train.
"A man who likes excitement and advent
uio would enjoy tho ridtx Tho road hus
Ix'ii in the hands of a receiver for somoj'ears,
and I. as fallen into u state, of picturesquo do
cay.
"No two rails on tho eutiro system are on
tho Kjiino level, and there is an altscnco of
straight lines and regularity that gives a
cli:in:in variety and wariness to tho per-sjxf-tivoof
tlio track. The coldly practical
tlu--ry that the rails should lie supported hy
tito ties does not find favor with tho section
tiicii o;i tlio Narrow Ii-ajie lino.
"Tho ties hanj? from the rails by tho splko
lieads, hut for tho sake of variety art occa
sional tio Is permitted to touHi tho' roadbed,
which is largely corniosed or loose cobbles.
DESCniPTIOX OF Til B ROAD.
"Talk about riding horseUn-k for exercise!
It do'-sn't compare with railroading over tho
Narrow Ilscapo. Yon get a greater variety
and x. mount of motion to tho ruilo than you
rot: id get anywhere else in the world, except
on the back of a camel with a peg leg."
"Sometimes, when tlio track is a little too
wavy, they run tho train olT tho rails and
take a short cut over tho prairie for a quar
ter of a mile or so, and thenrun back upon
tho rails wtien they strike a good placeon tho
grail.. When they com to a tritle, and
there 'are several high, spider legged struc
tures of that sort, tho engineer slows up,
I'avi just enough steam on to give head
way
"They aro very careful about crossing tres-
tles. 1 have seen them so cautious that tlio
engineer, conductor and wholo train crew
won' I cet off and walk over and wait for tho
train on tho other side. They never alarm
tho passengers, however, by saying anything
to tl: ;m about getting off and walking.
"The lino is about forty miles long, count
ing tho twL-ts in tho rails, and the trains that
leavo tho lower end early in tho morning gen-
er.illy get up to ono of tho other ends by
ci.jfc!".. There aro two or three upper ends to
tha line.
Tlio men who built it bad a notion to run
it over to tho coast, but when they got near
tho mountains they changed their minds,
wcut back a few miles and branched ofT to
tho southward. They changed their minds
several tunes, ana tlio result was .a lot or
rsgved ends of track running out into tho
prai. io and stopping nowhere in particular.
meti:ncs the tram runs up ono spur and
6.inu'iiracs up anotner just aepenusonnow
the section men leave the switches. 'When
the s-:?a breeze draws down through tho gap
in tho Coast rango and blows right hard, they
don't go up tho west spur at all, but switch
off t tho east and scud before tho wind. You
sr.' tLio prairie is so soft up the west spur that
they cant ran off tho rails and tack very we!L
1 remember one evening when tho tram
pntupto Sheridan before dark, and the in
habitants all rushed over to tho station to seo
what was the matter. It turned out that ono
of c!.l man Scroggins' hogs had wandered
-.v-.i tho valley, and when tho engineer saw
li:.-u on the track ho just clapped on steam
and went for him.
'The Sheridan switch happened to be
ope:i, anil tho train followed tho hog up the
vs.! spur and chased him into town ahead of
true, x ho engineer come pretty near, being
di .charged for reckless running, but tho cx
ciu ..:eiit of tho chaso was considered as an
extt-iiuatiug circumstance.
IT WAS FIXE SPORT.
You ought to go up and havo a hunt on
ti.ui rauroaa somo tima i nere s somo or tho
ba-t jrouse shooting on tho line that I ever
saw. 1 ae conductor is a gooa snot ana the
engineer is no slouch. I had a hunt with
them a few weeks ago.
tho early morning is the best time to
fhid biriLi, tho train pulled out about an hour
before tho usual time of starting. The con-
din -tor and I were in the baggage car with
r guus, and the engineer had a gun in the
cr.o.
We had gone about a mile when the train
slowed down and the conductor told me to
watch out. Ho took one of the wido doors in
the sides of the car and I took the other. The
slowing aown meant that tho engineer saw
birds and in a moment the conductor banged
avav.
"Tho train stopped and a brakeman jumped
ofT arid picked up a dead grouse. Pretty
soon tho grouso became thick along the sides
of the track and didn't seem to mind the
train in the least. We beard the engineer
pop- ing away, and wo whanged at 'em right
and left, and kept tho brakeman busy. Tho
solitary passenger became interested and
msili a f-rst class retriever.
"The grouso were plentiful, but the China
p'jeasants wero thicker than Cios. We saw
at l-.-ast 500, but didn't get many. The China
pheasant is the finest game bird in this coun
try Seven pairs were imported about eigh
teen years ago, and, being protected by law
for ten years, they have increased wonder
fully, aud there must be millions of them in
Oregon.
"You see. It la no fool of a trick to shoot
from a moving train that wabbles along as
though the wheels wero geared on eccentrics,
a-'id so we wasted a lot of powder. We used
about a hundred shells and secured thirty
one birds, mostly grouse. That beats tramp
ing over the hills all to thunder.
"I don't know as you had better go up
tlzcrs right away to hunt on the train. When
1 left, tfio irrow Escape system was tied up
by a strike. The engineer LJlin t got any
pay for two years, and he started a kick. '
"The receiver received well enough, but he
-'t seem to give up quite so well, but per-
- -vecau39 there wasn't much to
haps that mu. , didn't mind, be-
give up. The section i . cj
cause they could pick up a band car v
old ties most any time, run down to old man
Fairgrave's place and swap them off for beer,
but the engineer and fireman didn't have a
chance to pick up any more ties than they
needed to burn under the boiler.
"So one day the engineer ran the locomo
tive off tho rails into Sim Hyde's potato field
and swore he'd stay there with it until the
company paid him something on account.
That tied up the whole system, and the last I
knew the engineer was camping in the cab in
tho potato field. You'd better wait until you
hear that traffic has been resumed over the
Narrow Escape. " San Francisco paper.

Table Talk for June: As soon as the
weather begins to tighten a warm grip on
humanity, humanity is apt to lose its grip
on appetite,- or, at least, on its fancy for
"such Jiiheg as were wont to amuse the
. palate in cooler seasons. " Table Talk
thoroughly apprehends this condition of
affairs, and its profession is to apprehend
- nlv the remedy. The peculiarly
anu uj., . ''h.it docs this
interesting manner in
we won't attempt to explain here; the
better way for our readers to do if they
have the curiosity and wisdom with
which we credit them is to get a copy
of the June number, whercip they' will
plainly see with what ingenuity Mrs.
Rorer patcbt-s up the appetite for its sum
mer work. They also will find a great
deal there to lure the mental appetite, for
there are literary delicacies, as well as
culinary, in Table 2'alk, a combination
which it has the deserved reputation of
mixing up in the most delightful manner.
