Show Novel Hallway Obstruction. The tumble weed which flouristies in Oregon is a bnshy product growing to a height of two feet. The branches all curve inward, giving the plants a globular glob-ular shape. In the fall, when uprooted by hurrows, they lie around in the fields like balls, and tho first wind starts them rolling. The Oregon and Washington Territory railroad is not fenced, and a short time ago these weeds piled into the cuts on it, in some places as high as tho headlight of the engine. Being crushed under the wheels they greased the track and stopped all traffic, for a number of I hours. |
