THE MARSHALL
COUNTY FAIR
The Initial Fair at Warren a Glow.
ing Success.-Larse Crowds
Present.

Tuesday, Aug l3 was big day for
Warren. 1t was the opening day Of
the Marshall County Fair, and such
day as it was is rare even in the
Red River Valley, which is so pro-
lifetic of perfect days. The sun was
shining brightly and there was just
enough Of cool, refreshing breeze to
make everybody feel comfortable and
in a mood to enjoy himself. The
city was arrayed in holiday attire,
flags were floating from all public
and many private buildings most Of
the n erchants had trimmed up their
show windows very tastefully, the
streets looked neat and clean, and
everything, in fact, that could be
done had been done to receive the
king. And the king came. The hon.
est and sturdy yeomanry of Marshall
and Polk counties did pour into the
city from every road leading into it
and immense Groves we're brought in
by the railroads, both the 500 and the
Great Northern. 1t is estimated that
between 5000 and 1900 people were
here. They came here to see, and
there was lots to see, and everyone
was bent upon seeing all that was to
be seen. The exhibit hall was packed
with sight seers, the streets were
crowded with people, and all the
amusement tents Of the Cash Com
pany we're jammed.. full nearly..all the
time.
But if Tuesday was big day, We'd
nesday was still bigger, and the wea-
there also, could MT be justly ccm-
planned of. A light shower in the
forenoon laid the dust nicely and put
the track in excellent condition for
the afternoons races. In the evening
little more rain fell, just enough to
show the visitors the atl e i've quail
ty of our rich. black soil, the source
of all our wealth.
Today also is fair day, and though
the crowds are not as large as yester-
day, still they are just as enthusias-
tic and have just good time.
1t seems that the whole of Marshall
County is here and goodly share of
Polk and Kittson. The young man
from the country and his hest girl are
herein force and are having the time
of their lives. The lemonade, confec-
tionery, and chewing gum stands have
done a rushing business.
All the days, from early morning
until late IN the evening have, been
free from unpleasant circumstances
Everybody seemed to be in good hu-
NOR, and the numerous special police
men have had an easy life.

Buried to Death.

An Interpreter for the MeXicans
was questioned as he lay slowly burn
ING to death under the wreckage. He
said there were 25 Mexicans in their
party going from Kansas City 10 Ell
Paso to work. Most of these We're
burning to death. Soon after giving
this information the interpreter him
self succumbed TO the flames.
The operator, John Lynes, who let
No. % get by, has been captured and
is being brought to the Jail at To-
pe&a.
Orders had been given for the
trains to pass at Volland and for
train No. %. southbound, to be held
there. For some reason Lynes. the
operator at Volland failed to notify
the train crew Of the directions he
had received and No. % passed by
meeting No. 30, northbound, a few
m les west of Volland.
The operator fed before the wreck
occurred, however, first forecastlng
the impending collision. Five minutes
before the trains met he called up the
dispatcher and wired him as follows:
NO. 20 has g-ne and | have gone
also" Then he left his key.
Even with this dispatch in hand
there was no possible means of pre-
venting the wreck.
The couthbound train was carrying
extra cars for the heavy homeseeker
excursion traffic and consisted of 10
cars.
The c,llis on occurred on what Is
known as the Alta Vista Hill, one ef
the worst spots on the road. The
ncrthbound train came down the steep
grade at a high rate of speed. and the
engineer had no warning of the ap-
proach of the other train until to
late TO stop.
Seven Cars Burned.
He. however, was able to slacken
speed to a degree before he jumped.
The trains met at the bottom of the
hill The impact was terrific. The

Referring to the report that the coal
hortage was due to the presence Of
trust or combination between dealers
in coal who fixed prices in the north
west and refused to sellto "outsiders"
and 'irregulars. the report says;
The commission has gained indis-
putabie proof of an agreement be
tween coal dealers to maintain prices
and to boycott all who do not so
agree: but there is no evidence at all
fustifying the co1tentipn that this
combination Is chargeable with the

railroads were a party in such a way
to such a conspiracy"

1t was expected that the work would be
completed within the present year,
but some unexpected difficulties have
been found in making the concrete
arches between the little coral islands
(keys), SO that the completion will
probably be extended into next year
The details of the work are quite inter-
esting. BY the time it is finished 49,
900 cubic yards of crushed rock, 1906
100 cubic yards of sand, 286,000 bar
rels of cement and 5,760 tons of steel
reinforcement will have been used in
the concrete work, with 612, 900 lineal
feet of piling in the stretches between
the keys and 3,5S0,000 feet of lumber
for forms for the concrete arches will
have been used. Everything connected
with tile work Is done on the largest
scale, and many of the stretches be-
tween the keys have been filled up by
great steam dredges lifting the coral
from the bottom of the shallow waters
and piling 1t up to make a firm road
bed. 1t was expected that II would
take some time for this to settle, but it
has done so with more rapidity than
was hoped for. About 1000 men have
been employed upon the work, with
the grading over the keys costing only
about $4,000 mile. At Key West g.
splendid harbOr has been made, which
will afford space for 40 deep-sea YES
sells, with wharves 500 feet long and
100 feet wide. Land was made for
these and for a large hotel by pumping
up the sand from the harbor by means
OF an enormous suction pump.

Joseph A. Stuart, and old time naval

the following account OF how we pre-

says Mr.. Stuart, II came across a ref
erence to the work done by our Navy

ing the Sandwich Islands in 1853. She
says:
There was also a portrait of Adj
miral Thomas, whose memory is high
ly reverenced here (Honolulu) for the
happy was in which he succeeded in
terminating the disputes arising out Of
our (British) claim to the islands in
1853, and in restoring the native king to
his own again.
Now, we members of the crew of
the U. S. Storeship Erie, pierced for 16
guns, but carrying only eight 42-pound-
er carronades, under Commodore Dali

pute was settled was thru the opportune
arrival of the Erie just as the British
frigate Talbot. of % guns, was about to
raise the British flag at Honolulu in
taking possession. The energetic pro-
test Of Dallas against this, and the prep
arations he made for battle if his
protest was unheeded. had Its effect on
the British, and the flag was not raised.
