Trainmen coming in from the east
over the o. r. & n. tell more of the
details of the Short Line wreck at
Eaton than have yet been published.
II is said that Engineer La Rose.
the dead engineer of the passenger
train, signed his orders at weiser,
seven miles east of Eaton. at Sol, re-
ceiving an order requiring him to
wait at Eaton until Sis for the Boise
local train.
When the passenger train struck
the local one mile west of Eaton. or
eight miles west of Weiser, it was ex-
actly S:07, or six minutes after La
Rose had signed his orders at Wei
ser, showing that La Rose had made
the eight miles in six minutes. includ-
ing the time required in getting start
ed out of Weiser. This would make
the speed of the passenger train al
most so miles an hour between Wei
ser and the scene Of the wreck.
1t is evident that the engineer en-
tirely forgot his wait order at Eaton,
as he passed that station eight minutes
ahead of his time and struck the local
one mile west of the station.
The passenger engine struck the en-
gine of the local full in front. shot
over the top and rolled over its back
beside the second freight car. So
sudden was the wreck and so unpre
pared was Engineer La Rose for It.
that he did not have time to shut off
steam or set his air, and after his en-
gine turned over beside the track the
drivers whirled at terrific speed un-
til the steam was exhausted or had
escaped from the boiler.
a passenger, O. NJ. Harper, of De-
Mari, Kan, was thrown through a
window of coach and was severely
injured, and Miss Lucy F. Walker. OF
Dalton. Mo, had an arm broken. All
other injuries to passengers were
slight
a dozen barrels of whiskey in a
freight car on the local train were
hurled into Snake river, $50 feet away

Not only individual Oregonians, but
the entire state will regret deeply the
death of Colonel K. c. Judson, indus
trial agent of the o. r. & N. which
occurred Saturday evening in Port
land.
II had been thought that he would
be out OF the hospital in a few days,
so rapidly was he recovering from an
attack of bronchial trouble, and
sudden change for the worse, followed
by a stroke of paralysis. late Friday
night, came as a shock to his friends
who were watching his progress. He
was unconscious for several hours be-
fore his death. Mrs Judson and many
old associates in the service Of the o.
r. & n. were with him at the time of
his death.
Colonel Judson was 50 years Of age
and had been Industrial agent for the
O. Il. & n. for the past eight years,
coming here from a similar position
on the Sault ste. Marie railway in Wis
consin. He was an intimate friend
and associate of former president of
the o. X. & N, A. L. Mohler, and
came to Oregon at Mr.. Mohler's re-
quest.
Colonel Judson was one of the most
ardent and tireless workers in indus
trial lines in the state. He introduced
every reform in agriculture and horti-
culture which he thought would in
crease the farmers profits, and has
been the means of improving farm
conditions in this state as no other
man has done. To his persistent eN-
periments are due the success in corn
growing in this county and eastern
Washington, and dry-land alfalfa and
hog raising, the growing 90 sorghum,
broom corn. dry-land grasses and
other crops that would mature in the
arid districts were his special topics
on all occasions.
He had the most extensive aCquaint-
ance of any man in the state. He Wis
tied personally nearly every farm
along the line of the o. r. & ~ in
Oregon. Washington and Idaho. and
made the acquaintance of every man
possible. who was struggling along on
a small farm. i'm hopes of bettering his
conditions and increasing his income
by some new method. He was stu
dent of agriculture and delighted in
producing things, in experimenting
with new crops and new plants and
new methods. Deep plowing, the
Campbell system of dry-land farming
and other improved methods have
been introduced in different localities
at his suggestion. and many man in
Oregon can give credit to Col. Judson
for an increased bank account
He was an unobtrusive and reserv-
ed but persistent and energetic man
and accomplished more things with
unpromising facilities and under un-
favorable conditions than one would
think possible
No intimation as to who his sue
cessor will be has been made public
as vet. He was associated with the
freight department of the o. Il. & n.
and worked directly under the super
vision of General Freight Agent X. Il.
Miller. although his plans and policies
were left largely to his own diScre-
ton.
The funeral will be delayed, await
ing the arrival Of his two sons, one oil
whom resides in st. Paul and one IN
Omaha.

RUNNING IN THE BOYS.
Strenuous Policy in the Name OF Law
md Order.

Strenuous efforts are being made by
Marshal Coffman and the other mem
bers of the police force TO keep min
ors off the streets after night, and
within the past week nearly dozen
arrests have been made. AS n rule
the offenders have been boys of from
IL to IA years who have been loafing
around the streets and getting into
various kinds of mischief In many
cases the boys have been placed in the
city Jail and held there until in the
opinion of the officers they have been
sufficiently punished.
Many of the offenders have been
boys who have been attracted by the
merry -go-round and have gotten into
trouble by trying to steal rides there.
Saturday evening two arrests were
made for this offense and last night
two more-Mark Catching and Ray
Mcknight, were taken In. on being
presented in police court this morning
the two boys were given indeterminate
jail sentences by the acting recorder,
so that their stay in the city bastile
will depend upon their demeanor.
Marshal Coffman says that 1t is his
intention to enforce the curfew law,
and that all boys found loafing on the
streets after $3.50 will be taken into
custody unless they should be accom-
panied by their elders and have some
business in view.
Aside from the two boys mentioned
above their were two other cases this
morning-William Gibald and Alex
Davidson, both drunks, and they were
given the usual sentences.

After weeks of work, the labor of
adding the assessment roll of this
county has been finished by Assessor
Strain and his deputies. and the result
Is a most satisfactory showing, for the
total is over the ten million mark.
The total footing Of the roll for this
year is $10336.79l. However, of this
amount Sl53,210 is exempt from tax
alton, and when deducted from the
above leaves the sum of $10,1S3,5S1,
which Is the largest assessment ever
made In this county. and places Una
tilla county rs ranking third, IL not
second in wealth among the counties
of Oregon. The assessment being
based on "A one-third valuation, the
total wealth of the county is thereby
made to be 1,O1O.373
The assessment this year is just an
even three fourths OF million more
than that OF last year, the total then
being $0.457.1Sg. This Increase, ac-
cording to Assessor Strain. is due to
the advance In the prices Of property
and to the addition Of new property
TO the county,
However, the above assessment was
lowered somewhat by the board of
equalization at its recent meeting. The
total of the reduction made will be
about $33,5S1. in the opinion OF the
assessor, which. when taken from the
roll, will sim leave $1O.15O.00O. Last
year the equalization board gave re-
ductions to the amount of $57.1gS.95.
which left the net sum of $4,000. 900.
As TO what the levy for next year
will be It is impossible to tell at
present and 1t win not be made until
the commissioners meet for their
January term. However, It was Is
mills last year. and the sum of $169,-
200 was raised thereby In order to
produce the same sum from the pres
eut assessment of S1O.t50.O00. IT will
only be necessary to make levy of
l6 40 mills. Consequently II the
levy is larger than that amount II
will be because the commissioners
calculate that more money Will be re-
puired for next year than was con-
sidered necessary for the present one.
The assessment OF over $4,000, 900
this year Is practically double what 1t
was when Assessor Strain took the Of
flee, for at that time about SIS $50, 900
was the assessed valuation of the
property of the county. over mil
lion Of the increase was due to his
raising Of the railroad assessment.
