Caterpillar Army Halts Train
A GIGANTIC army of caterpillars, after devastating many orchards in Oregon, crawled upon the railroad tracks and delayed the Albany-Newport train for one hour and twenty-five minutes. The horde of insects drove one man from his home, destroyed all vegetation in the path, and then began eating the needles from fir trees and the bark from other trees. The caterpillars were more than an inch deep on the railroad tracks, and the trainmen exhausted their sand supply in trying to pass over them.
