gineer Dolan's death was due TO the
gross. If not criminal carelessness, of
the foreman Of the switching crew
who had charge Of the movements Of
the switch engine and was responsible
for the collision After the passenger
train had whistled for the station the
switch engine started down the main
line, the supposed intention being to
back the engine in on the house
track and clear the passenger train.
The locomotives crashed together at
the house switch. Switch Engineer
Dwyer had time to reverse his engine
and jump escaping injury. The
switchmen also jumped. The scene
Of the collision is sharp curve and
Engineer Dolan Of the passenger train
had no intimaton Of danger until the
engines were fairly together. He re-
versed the engine. applied the air and
stepped into the gangway on the fire
mans side, presumably to ascertain
the position of the switch engine. AS
he did SO the collision came and he
was caught between the tender and the
cab. His hips were crushed and his
spine broken. The accident happened
Immediately in front Of Engineer Do
lan's home, whence he was carried as
soon as assistance came. He fingered
in terrible agony for an hour and half.
passing away at O'Clock
Brakeman.John Covbert was stand
/ ing on the rear platform of the passen-
ger train when the collision occurred.
He was thrown down and when found
was insensible. with several bad cuts
about his head. No one else was hurt.
though the passengers received lively
shaking up.
Conductor Coulter was in charge of
the passenger train, which was several
hours behind time. When the collision
occurred the train was going at speed
Of about ten miles an hour, while the
switch engine was moving much slower.
The news Of Engineer Dolan's death
was heard with much regret here.
where he had been so we'll and favor
ably known for many years. He was
great favorite with the railroad men
of the division, who will sincerly mourn
his untimely taking off,
The deceased was one OF the Oldest
engineers in point Of seniority on the
Salt Lake division. He ranked as No.
IA on the list OF l99 engineers on the
Salt Lake division. He had been run
ming an engine since May / 1888, and
Of that time had been a passenger en-
gineer for fully fifteen years.
Deceased was forty-two years Of age
and leaves a wife and two children
living in Wadswcrth Mrs. Dolan is q
cousin of w. J. Bell Of this place and
and nieoe of Mrs. D. Harkins.
The remains were taken to Sacra-
mente last night, where the funeral was
held Tuesday under the auspices of
the Brotherhood Of Locomotive En-
gineers.
Sunday afternoon a Cornor's inquest
was held and the jury returned ver-
dict that Engineer Dolan came to his
death as here stated, no particular per-
son being charged with criminal negli-
pence. The verdict is said to have
aroused much telling among the rail-
road men, as there is no doubt that
til accident was due to criminal care
lesness on the part Of some Of the
switchmen.

AN ENORMOUS LOG OUTPUT
Methods In Vogue at the Head Waters o;
Mississippi.


During many years St. Paul sci
dom saw more than one log at Il time
floating down the Mississippi. nor
even heard of such logs save
when some poor Immigrant ON tn,
fats was declared guilty in the polio,
court of thriftiIy selecting the arrant
fuel. says the Pioneer Press. But last
season and for several seasons logs
by the thousands have been pushed
pondcrouSly down the river in RATS
and fractions of RATS. Nowadays
the hat-dwelIer that could abduct
every passing log would rope himself
before the summer closed to more
than 81 OOO. 900 worth of floating for
est.
Because the upper Mississippi is
now the sole waterway leading from
the limited acres where 1inger the re
mains of the pine forests thai
stretched one-half way across the
Union. The Wisconsin rivers no longer
supply the sawmiIls of that state. of
Minnesota. and of Illinois and Iowa.
Even the once-noted FUN river in
Minnesota sends no logs worthy of .
raftboat's chain. But more than 100.
100000 feet of logs will pass st. Paul
this year on their way south from tn,
upper tributaries of the Mississippi
from the Leech river. the Swan river
the Prairie. Sandy and Willow rivers
and from Pine river. At Brainard.
Mimi. also, fiat cars of the Mime
sofa & International railway dump in
TO the Mississippi logs shipped from
small streams to the nOrthward near
Bamidiii.
AS the pine output of the whole
country east of the Rocky mountains
has become concentrated in Northern
Minnesota, the logs passing St. Paul
upon the father of waters have in
creased from 100000 feet in 1890 to
$4,000, 900 in 1900, and to more than
100, 900. 900 feet in 1901. The diminish
ing supply has raised the price of pine
logs from So to SO a thousand at
present.
Yet if these logs, cheap or eXpen-
sive, simply fioated past St. Paul, like
the ship of state in the Kentucky ora
tors address, the town would eXclaim
commercially. like that orator: Err
er-er let Their fioat!'' Such mere
floating offers nothing of finance,
nothing of profit to a business COM
munity. But ii is within the limits of
st. Paul that the PROSTATE pine is
waylaid' ''pocketed' and ''brailed"-
is sorted. to wit, and arrayed in raft
ing rank by the boom company, it's
."catchers," markers, and ''brailers,
its pike poles, and its ''peaveys."
A boom is to the logging traffic
what freight yard is to railroading.
The logs must be forwarded in sep
crate owners, and the separation is
no small task.
In the first place the owners of the
logs are numerous. One owner may
be forwarding timber from numerous
camps or logging districts, and the
logs from each district bear dis
tinctive mark cut into the log before
il is launched on the first stream.
Every mark, to secure legal recogni-
ton and protection, must be register
ed upon the records of the surveyor
general of logs and lumber in whose
jurisdiction the log was cut.
But the upper river is soon filled

Investigation shows that the street
rurnors about the Queens position in
local politics are correct. She is I'M
equivocalIy opposed to Wilcox. 1t is
not only that he did nothing at Wash
ington for Hawaii but that, in the opin-
ion of eminent friends of hers, includ-
ing Senator Hoar of Massachusetts,, his
conduct brought disrepute upon the
Hawaiian people. There are a great
many incidents connected with the
career of the Delegate at Washington
which are better known to the Queen
than they are, as yet, to the people
here, and they are enough to convince
her that the continuance of Wilcox in
Office would be a misfortune TO her
country. 1t is not so certain that Her
Majesty has decided to support ]. o.
Carter or any one; but upon the main
point, that of wiIcox's unavaila bility
she has taken a firm stand. It is said
