LOCAL RAILROAD HAS WRECK.
Nine Flat Cars Smashed In Runaway
--Iawrcnce Saves Worse
Disaster.

-Lawrcnce Saves Worse
Disaster.
One Of the most DISASTROUS smash
ups on the local railroad in several
years occurred yesterday about noon
when a train of logging cars, Marsh
field bound, broke away from the en-
gine on the hill about half mile
from the station and plunged along
at a 3O-mile clip headed straight for
a long string of cars on the siding
next to the station.
But for the timely work OF Con-
ductor Ned Lawrence of the train,
the station building would have suf-
fered serious damage. Lawrence
jumped from the train at the switch
which opens of the main track onto
the spur leading TO the coal bunkers
and threw II just as two of the run
away cars had passed. The two cars
which had passed ran down the
track, colliding with several which
were on the switch, dltching seven
or eight of them. The changing OF
the switch threw the other cars OF
the track and five or six piled up In
conglomerated mass of twisted
wood and broken iron.
According to the story of the en-
gineer the logging cars were in front
of the engine and were being pushed
along at a speed OF about ten miles
an hour. He endeavored to slack
the speed and the strain broke a
coupling which let the cars loose.
Men were at work all day yester-
day cleaning up the wreckege and
from appearances several more days
OF hard work will be required to
straighten out the gle.--Coos Bay

was decided that no hops would be
picked at all, in view of the present
market conditions. This report,
however, lacks confirmation.
Eighty acres of the Krebs Bros.

the result of the recent storm and,
although force was put to work to
raise them, some doubt Is expressed
as to the success of this action.
There is no sign of an easing up
upon the money question, and many

Mold Is Plentiful.

A special from this city last night
says:
Reports are pouring in from all
quarters that mold is spreading rap
idly through the hopyards OF the
valley, and in fact the entire state
to the extent that scores of yards
will be abandoned altogether and not
a single burr gathered for CONNER
cial purposes. This new and unex-
pected dilemma tSeatens TO reduce
the possible crop OF the state OF Or
egon at least one-half from previous
estimates.
This condition, coming on top or
the threatened scarcity OF piekers,
low market and difficulty to secure
picking money. increases the burden
of the hop grower. and local dealers
are inclined to view the situation
with apprehension. One dealer re-
ceiyed a report from Woodburn to-
night stating that many of the yards
were turning black with mold, esti'
mating that half OF the hops OF that
district will never be picked

known citizens Of Breckenridge county,

at the home Of his daughter, Mrs E. l..
Smith, of Custom. The funeral services
were conducted Tuesday morning at
1880 O'Clock, by Rev. r. H. Roe, Of
Vine Grove. The Bewleyville lodge of
Masons then took charge of the body
and the interment was in Liberty
cemetery, near his old home at Bewley-
vile. Mr.. Paul was born in Hardin
county March 20 1928. He fully quail
fed himself for his life work in his early
manhood by serving as an apprentice at
the blacksmith's trade, which he faith
fully followed for over fifty years in the
little town Of Bewleyville. Owing to
the infrmities of age, he quit active
work about three years ago but he was
familiar figure to those who went to
town and he had a smile and cheer
full word for all. A year ago last April
Mr., Paul suffered partial stroke Of
paralysis, from which he never fully
recovered He was a patient sufferer
and often said he was ready and pre-
pared to go and was only biding his
time.
Mr.. Paul was twice married. The
first time to Miss Elizabeth Best, who
bore him seven children, four of whom
are living. He is survived by his second
wife, who was Miss Mamie Pest, sister
of his first wife, also by four children
who were born to this union.
He has been a member of the Baptist
church for fifty years and a member of
the Masonic fraternity ffty-three years.
He was a true man and
Christian gentleman. No word said in
his praise would go amiss. God grant
that the entire family may be ready to
meet him in the great beyond where no
good bye is spoken.

HaweSVille Receiving Tobacco.

Hawesville, Ky, Dec 8.-The Equity
or pooling warehouse under the NANCE
ment of Turpin and Wood opened here
this week to receive tobacco, but up to
this time not one single load has been
brought to be pooled.
No money is being advanced on to-
bacco h re this year at the houses, but
instead check or due bill is given the
farmers, which will be oashed as soon
as loan is floated to finance the hand
ling Of this years crop. Many farmers
do not like this plan and will bold their
tobacco until they can get an advance
payment in cash the same as last year.

TOBACCO GROWERS
SELL 1907 CROP.
Larger Part of Breckenridge Crop
Outside of Louisville Pool
Will Be Sold.
FARMERS TO HAVE CASH.

The sale of the larger part of the
Breckenridge county crop Of tobacco
has been made through the home ware
house company The last conditions
in this sale were perfected on Saturday
by Secretary George NJ. Taylor and
Hiram Marksberry, of the Green River
District Equity WAREHOUSE company. The
growers, who will sell through the
organization are to join the association
or take stock in the district warehouse
company and they will then have all the
advantages of the local stockholders.
The price has not yet been given out
but it is probable that the Breckenridge
county tobacco will sell for the prevail,
ing prices that the association members
here are receiving. The purchase will
include all the tobacco belonging 70
the growers of Breckenridge county,
who have not pledged to the Louisville
A. S. Of E. pool, making the alignment
the same as it is here. Ithas not been
learned whether the American or the
Gallaher gets the tobacco but it is pro-
bable that mos of it will go to the
American COmpa ny. The deliveries are
to be made at Cloverport, Hardinsburg
and Glendeane. This sale was made as
the result of the visit here of County
Judge II. ID. Norman and associate
committeeman one day last week. Mr..
Taylor and Mr.. Marksberry stopped off
at Hardinsburg on their way back from
the tobacco conference held with Cow
ernor Wilson and perfected the ar
rangements for the sale and delivery.
Besides the large amounts that have
been paid out for tobacco there is alsot
to be taken into consideration about
81, 900 that was paid OUT to employees Of
the various factories on Saturday for
labor performed daFing the week, 81, 500
and the Imperial company and the Gall
laher limited and other firms paid out
large amounts. OF the 81, 900 or more
paid out on Saturday it is probable that
