cut Of Astoria showing where these ter.
minals are located and what lots can be
bought near by, 10 start land to moving
rapidly in small lot purchases. A repre-
sentation OF this kind would probably
draw more money out Of Portland than
any real estate deal that The City Of
Portland could get up to excite the i'm
agination. And 1t Is quite certain some
one interested will not overlook this
proposition. In fact, full page advertise
ments Of Astoria real estate in the home
papers here In Astoria and in those Of
Boise. Seattle. Spokane and Portland
are already being talked Of by those who
have the largest land holdings here.
And such stirring up would bring
in much new capital which Astoria
stands In need Of also many new people.
which Astoria could assimilate with ad-
vantage to her business interests.
The two railroads. the Hartman and
the Hill, will settle the common point on
grain and on everything else. With
those two roads built into Astoria and
with both Of them in position to ship
grain, lumber and 6sb out Of the mouth
Of the river In their own ships, Of course
the common point rates will psrforce b
established. The railroads will even then
perhaps make a better than a common
point rate to protect their own interests
and then the state railroad commissions
of Washington and Oregon will probably
be appealed to by Portland. Seattle and
Spokane to see to 1t that Astoria is not
allowed to have such great advantage
over them. Such state Of affairs would
indeed seem strange to Astorians who
have for oil these years been dreaming
Of the days to come, Of the city that
was to be.

to the latest reports from the scene Of
the catastrophe many persisted.
Up to noon 40 bodies had been re-
covered and los injured were brought to
this city. Persons who have arrived on
tine first relief train say that at least
100 lives were lost, and it Is believed
that many miners. entombed by cave
ms due to the explosion, are dead. The
mine shafts are surrounded by the wives
OF the miners, frantic and half crazed
with anxiety.
Seventy men were at work in the mill
when the explosion occurred. Legs. arms
and parts Of trunks have been picked up
100 feet away from the site Of the mill,
which was located on the outskirts Of
Fontanet. Pitiful scenes were enacted
around the schoolhouse, the parents and
other relatives Of the children making
pathetic efforts to locate their loved
ones.
A carload of collins has been sent to
Fontanet.
A number Of persons suffered minor
injuries at Rosedale, Coal Bluff and Bur-
nett as the result Of the shake, being
struck by falling chimneys.
At Crawfordsville, 35 miles away, the
electric light company's Office building
was partly wrecked, the walls crumbling
and the marble floors sinking.
The latest report is that 100 Of the
school children were buried and many
will die. Not a person in Fontanet es-
capped injury or death. Pedestrians were
thrown from their feet against build
ings, and the latest estimate places the
dead at 100 and the injured at l5O.
Doctors in automobiles are dashing to-
the scene from all directions. Hamilton,
Ohio, $50 miles away, reports having
felt the shock.
The damage thus far reported in other
towns follows: Brazil, Indiana, So miles
away. $4,000, including the art glass in
the First Methodist church, valued at
$1,000; Charlottesville, Indiana, S5 miles
away. $4,000, 20 buildings being dam
aged; Greencastle, Indiana, 27 miles
away, $4,000; Terre Haute, $4,000.
Losses Of $1,000 and more are reported in
10 other towns.

ASTORIA THE PEERLESS CITY

The railroad masters know that the
Panama canal Is soon to be completed,
probably within six years from the first
Of next January.
Almost Immediately after 1t Is com
pleted the commerce Of the Pacific Coast
with the Atlantic Coast Of the United
States will increase many fold, perhaps
double each year in geometrical ratio
for many years to come. The railroad
kings know this only too we'll. and for
that reason they SO long fought to keep
the building Of the canal q back number.
For that reason they hired away from
the United States government every en-
gineer that was placed in charge Of this
important work until President Roose-
welt put the entire canal construction
problem In the hands Of the engineers Of
his own war department. Now that the
canal is thus assured the railroads are
getting in shape to handle the commerce
to the best points on the Pacific Coast.
The mouth Of the Columbia is the best
point and in few years now the port Of
Astoria will assume that place Of promi-
nence as wheat and grain exporting
point which nature has fore-ordained
since first the foundations Of this con-
tinent were laid.
The only way you can keep Astoria
from going up higher now Is to stake It
down q the four corners. And then the
tethers would probably burst asunder.

First Reports.

TERRA HAUTE, Ind, Oct. l5.--The
most appalling accident in the history Of
Indiana occurred this morning at Fon-
tanet, coal miners village, l6 miles
from this city, when the works Of the
Dupont Powder Company blew up, blot
ting out. it is estimated, 100 miles. in
juring scores, practically wiping out the
village, causing cave-ins in the coal
mines, entombing the miners, and caus-
ing heavy property damage in surround
ing cities.
The explosion was heard and felt 60
miles away. buildings Were shaken,
chimneys knocked down and communi-
cation with the stricken village almost
completely cut off. Where the works once
stood there is nothing save large hole
in the ground.
The explosion occurred soon after the
men went to work, but its cause may
never be known. as it is believed that
none of the employees Of the works live
to tell the tale.
The quiet of the country was upon
the ill-fated village, when suddenly there
came a tremendous roar followed by d
number of sharp explosions, which car
lied the works away as though they
were Of cards and tore deep hole in
the ground. Every building in the vii.
lage was damaged, Several, including a
general store, were knocked fiat, catch
ing fire and incinerating their inmates,
Two hundred pupils had just gathered
in the public school when the explosion
occurred The building, which was q
two-story structure, collapsed. and near
" all the children were pinned under
the wreckage. How any escaped In
stant death Is not known, but according

Every house in this town was shattered.
Farm houses two miles away and school
houses equally distant were torn to

Shares Of Illinois Central Not to
be Voted.
MODIFICATION IS SECURED
At the Meeting Today Of the Illinois
Central Railroad Company as6,7sr
Shares Cannot be Voted if Result viii
be Affected Thereby.

CHICAGO, Oct. l5.--E. H. Hartman
was today deprived Of the voting power
of 2S6,74l shares of Illinois Central
stock in the annual meeting of that
railroad to be held tomorrow. The order
of the court was practically identical
with the modification asked for by the
attorneys Of Hartman. Both sides claim
a victory, Fish because the enjoined
shares will not be effective at the cleo
tion and Hartman because his modifca-
tion was secured. The shares of stock
ruled out are those held by the Union
Pacific Railroad, the Railroad Securities
Company Of New Jersey and the Mutual
Life Insurance Company, against which
a temporary injunction was yesterday
issued by Judge Ball. The court today
modified the order by permitting the
shares to be voted on condition that If
any one of these shares should have a
decisive effect on any vote taken, then
the entire vote is to be null and void,
In other words Fish is given by court
a handicap Of 2s6.73l votes and in order
to defeat him on any motion or resolu-
tion, Hartman and his friends must cast
2s6,73l votes more than are cast by
Fish and his followers.
Attorney Herrick in speaking for the
modification Of the injunction stated
that Harahan held proxies for 100000
shares in addition to other stockholders
holding $4,000 who would vote with
Harahan. This included the 2S6,73l
shares enjoined yesterday, leaving the
claim of the Hartman people that their
voting strength is 3OS,000 in round
numbers. As the matter stands tonight
both sides are claiming victory Both
are Of the opinion that they hold the
greater number Of proxies, but the ac-
itual facts in this connection cannot be
guessed with any accuracy. 1t is admit
ted by the attorneys on both sides that
many stockholders have issued duplicate
and even triplicate proxies and as a
proxy Of latest date is effective neither
side knows exactly where it stands.
Hartman arrived here today but did
not attend the court proceedings, Fish
was in court all day.

With the Hill Railroad interests the
purchasers of 22Q0-acre terminal site
In Astoria. and with the Hartman Rail.
road interests the purchasers OF ter.
minal site aggregating 800 acres, and
with the Hartman surveyors already in
this city, II would seem that Astoria Is
soon TO be the theatre OF the most active
railroad operations In The northwest.
The North Bank Hill road will be com.
pleted so far as the graders are con.
cened even with the bridge across the
Columbia by the lst OF December, and
these graders, II Is stated on good au.
thority, will then be brought to this
city for the purpose Of rushing the Hill
terminals to an early completion so that
wheat may be loaded on shipboard here
at the earliest possible date. This Is
necessary because the Hills expect to
establish trans Pacific steamship line
and this Is the only place they can load
wheat on the Columbia river, on both
banks Of which they viii soon have the
only railroads In existence.
y The story that the Hills have purchas.
eS 2200 acres Of land for terminals, in.
cluhqg the 1900 acres owned by the
Flavel Land Company and much Of the
personal holdings Of A. B. Hammond,
comes as no surprise to those who have
been keeping up with the local railroad
situation. First President Elliott came
and looked over this site personally,
then came Lewis w Hill, then came j.
II. Carroll, the leading attorney for the
Hills. All of these officials brought with
them the same maps and charts and
looked at them in exactly the same way
while they were here. The information
that the land has actually been sold Is
given to the public by those who sold it
and there does not seem to be any fur
ther reason on the part Of any OF the
interested parties to keep the matter a
secret.
The announcement that the Hartman
interests had purchased terminal grounds
here was made last week and now with
this authentic announcement that the
Hills have purchased terminal grounds
of more than three times the area OF
those Of MIR. Hartman, 1t would seem
that any other proofs that the two big
living railroad kings Of the northwest
are now vying with each other for
advantages at the mouth Of the Colum-
bia river are entirely unnecessary. But
II more are needed, then those on the
lookout for them should just step over
Coxconb Hill and there by the water
works they may see the surveyors busily
engaged In laying out the proposed route
over which Mr.. Hartman little later
expects to fget into Astoria, Mr.. Lytle
of Portland Is the personal representa-.
tive Of Mr.. Hartman so far as actual
local railroad building Is concerned. A
little while ago Mr.. Lytle said that he
expected to survey three routes into
Aytoria for the purpose Of ascertaining
khich Of the three possible ways of en-.
trance were the cheapest. Then he as-
serted hewould be ready to make d pub
lie announcement Of what he wanted
Astoria To do for him through the Cham

Large Estate Is Settled Out OF
Court.
A GREAT AMOUNT INVOLVED e:
Instead Of Holding Estate Of sso,ooo,-
600 for Fifteen Years Widow and
Children Will Divide Property at Once
Principal Provision Of Will Nullifed.

CHICAGO, Oct. ia $300O0000 viii
contest argued and settled out Of court
was disclosed yesterday when the last
will and testament Of Nelson Morris
Packer was filed for probate. As re-
suit of this remarkable situation. the
principal provision Of the will has been
nullifed. Instead Of carrying out the
arrangement which would have held the
bulk OF the estate in trust for at least
Is years, the widow and her four chill
dren will divide the property equally be-
tween themselves at once.
