The state of Washington is to have a
packing house investigation.

nation thus gained, but it is expected
that he will use it in his message to
the Legislature in making recommends
tions for legislation.
Mr. Davies states further that some
prosecutions of retail grocers will fol-
low an investigation now in progress

bv retail grocers of the state. Concern

rail. Often in such places the ties
have been broken by the weight of
passing trains. and thus the rail is alb
solutely unsupported for a considerable
space.
al am aware that often a tie appears
rotten when in reality it has a solid
core and all due allowance has been
made for that. A number of ties are
rotten only on the surface. but even
then the wood that his rotted away has
loosened the creepers and allowed a
considerable amount of looseness and
play on the part of the creepers used to
keep the rails from sliding. This is so
bad that in dozens of places the rails
have slid for spaces of from six inches
to two or three feet. In sliding thus
the spikes are naturally dragged out of
place, and no attempt seems to have
been made to have them put right. In
many plcaes the rails have slid to such
an extent that the heads of the ties
have come together so rs to form an
angle.
THE braces are all twisted and out
of place. Dozens of them can be picked
up from the track by the fingers and
quite a few are lying clear of the rails
altogether. There is not one of them
in so that is doing the work for which
it was placed there.
1.-THE creepers are all broken almost
without exception and can be picked
from under the rails by the hundreds.
"In places the rails are lying alto
gether out of the perpendicular, and if
a line were dropped from the outside
edge of the rail to the ties on which it
is placed it would be found out of the
perpendicular by quite an inch. Just
a little more than this would mean a
serious accident, for this occurs in
places quite as dangerous as that in
which the accident took place.
I'm many places the rails have been
WON to such an extent that the part
on which the flange of the wheels
touches has been worn flush with the
fish plates at the points of the rails,
and in many places there are marks on
the fish plate showing where the wheels
of a passing train have struck it. If
these rails become much more worn
nothing is more certain than that soon
er or later a contact with the fish plate
will throw a train off the track.
''Gn my W mind | am absolutely
convinced that the accident was caused
purely and simply by a spreading rail-
There are many other possible explain.
but a cursory examination of
the roadbed will show that this is the
most probable"
At the actual scene of the accident
the ties appear to be thoroughly rotten.
NAV be possible that they have a
solid core, but they certainly do not
look it. The people of Camden and
neighborhood have long expected an
accident in the vicinity. All who were
seen agreed that the two section fore
men in charge of the sections there are
conscientious men, who examine and
on the track regularly. 1t is
said that these reports are taken no
notice of at all at headquarters.
