CATCH PENDLETON TRAIN.

Groaning with agony from his man
gled leg which had been severed just
beneath theknee by a freight car, Ray
Smith of Portland, was picked up
by railroad men beside switch in
the o. R. & N. yards near the depot
at $3.50 o'clock last night. When car
ried into the depot he showed wonder
full nerve despite his agony and calmly
called for a cigarette. Later when re-
moved to st. Mary's Hospital the
strain was too much for him and he
begged for anaesthetics to relieve the
terrible agony he was suffering.
Before he was operated on he ask
ed the physicians to say nothing about
the accident to his mother whom he
said was Mrs. B. M. Smith of iii

When asked about how the accident
occurred, Smith could tell little last

NoR1HER4 PACIFIC REFUSES FREIGHT

Inability of Sound box factories to
fill orders for crates and boxes is prov
valley prune crop this season. The
Walla Walla Produce company has
found it necessary to place orders
with local planning mills for crates
until shipments ordered from Sound
mills two weeks ago are received.
The Northern Pacific notified the
mills Saturday that eastern shipments
would be discontinued a week, or I'M
til the railroad company is able to
catch up with orders which, in places,
are nearly month behind. In view
of this order it will probably be
week or ten days before shipments
of crates and boxes ordered weeks
ago will be received by the local COM
mission houses.
Delays Shipments.
Local commission houses are ship
ping on an average from five to seven
cars day, the principal shipments be-
ing prunes, potatoes, onions and to-
matoes. The inability of some of the
commission housese to secure crates
for handling the prune crop is delay
ing shipments somewhat. Orders are
being filled, however, as fast as ia
cvilities will permit.
Prunes were quoted at 60 cents per
crate wholesale today.
Watermelons and canteloupes have
both declined sharply the last week,
the former being quoted at 81 per
barrel or crate and Rockford cante-
loupes and other vaities at 81 per
crate.
Orders TO apples, pears, peaches
and grapes received by the Walla
Walla Produce company are filled at
the company's branch house at North
Yakima, the local supply being entire
ly inadequate to fill the demand.
Tomatoes Are Plentiful.
Receipts of tomatoes have been SO
liberal the price sharply declined to
40 cents box Saturday. At this price
commission houses are able to handle
most of the crop of local growers.
Hubbard squash, celery and the new
crop of sweet corn are beginning to
come in. Hubbard squash WHOLESALERS
at $3.50 a crate; new corn at II IL
cents per dozen ears and celery at
$3.50 per half crate.
Receipts of cabbage have been so
limited that commission houses have
notified customers it is impossible to
fill but a small portion of orders re-
ceived.
Yellow Danver onions are in the
market and wholesale at $3.50 hundred.
Potatoes are strong at 81 per hundred,
the ruling price for some weeks.

Quite decided change is being
made in the laboratory arrangements
at the college. The physical labor
tory has been moved this summer I'M
der the direction of Professor Brown
from the west end of the ground floor
the Memorial building to the two
large rooms in the east end. One of
these has been fitted with electrical at
tachments for the advanced course
in applied physics which will be CIV

mechanical arrangements for the &C.

Museum is Together.
The museum has been placed en-
tire in the old physical laboratory.
This has been scattered pretty much
all over the building heretofore and
now presents nice appearance when
all together. There are four large
glass cases of minerals and geolo-
gical specimens, two of shells of all
sorts and one of scores of different
varieties of birds eggs. Two cases
are filled with birds stuffed by Storrs
Lyman who has been college taxi
dermist and assistant in the biologi-
cal department for the past two or
three years.
The chemical department will not
be moved but will be largely increased
in capacity for work. Nearly dozen
large cases of supplies arrived few
days ago and these are being arrang-
ed by DR.. Brubaker, ready for work as
soon as registration begins.
