For many years there has been a we'll
established policy Of cooperation between
the national survey and many state sur

ally helpful relations between the different
surveys and planned conference OF ON
cial biologists. which was held In New

ence the methods Of preventing needless
duplication of work were discussed.

Mr.. METclLF IN A WRECK
SOUTHERN RAILWAY LocoHo-
TIVE JUMPS TIE TRACK.
Remarkable Escape Of the Engineel
and Fireman-No Passengers
Injured.

Secretary Metcalf said today that he was
eleven hours late In arriving at Washing
ton last night on account Of the wrecking
OF the train on which he was travelling,
about twenty miles out OF Salisbury, N. c..
about II o'clock Monday night. While the
train was passing through deep cut In
the road, he said, the locomotive jumped
the track and the cars came to a sudden
halt. The locomotive and the mail car
were thrown, on opposite sides of the track
and badly damaged. Secretary Metcalf
said that 1t was suggested at first that the
engineer and fireman had been killed. but
the engineer was found at his post. while
the fireman had been thrown to the top OF
the high embankment on the opposite side
Of the cut. No one could understand how
he got there unless he was thrown entirely
over the mail car. which stood In his path.
The engineer was white and the fireman
was colored. and Secretary Metcalf said
that both had acted most bravely under
the trying conditions. The engineer. he
said. was the real hero of the occasion,
and was thoroughly loyal to his trust Not
withstandfng he stuck by his engine he was
not injured, and his first thought seemed
to have been as to the fate Of his fireman.
The latter was pretty badly hurt about the
BODY and was unconscious when found.
Physicians on the train gave him medical
attention. and his first inquiry was as to
what had become Of the engineer.
Secretary Metcalf said that the train re-
manned in the cut about eleven hours be-
fore the wreckers had cleared the track,
but the passengers suffered nothing more
serious than the delay. He and Mrs. Met
calf were In their berths at the time of the
accident, and though shaken up consider
ably were not injured in the least. The
same XD6 true with regard to all the other
passengers on the train.
When a new locomotive was provided the
engineer Of the wrecked locomotive insisted
on bringing the train through to Washing
ton. The train in which the accident oc-
CURED is said to have been No. 3S of the
Southern railway. and is known as the
Southern Railway Limited. 1t was due In
Washington at eos yesterday morning and
got here at 7:30 o'clock last night.

affidavits showing that the shooting yes
terday was begun by persons in the crowd
trying to obstruct the movement of street
cars, and not by the men who were oper-

Business Badly Hurt.
The strike already has seriously injured
business in this city. Many Of the big
retail stores have decided to open late and
close early, and most Of them have laid OFF
number Of their employees The absence
of adequate transportation facilities through
the burned district makes that section of
the city almost deserted by pedestrians and
almost impossible at night The retail
establishments, therefore, see only added
expense in maintaining their usual business
hours.
The same is true of the principal restau-
rants, several of which have closed their
DOORS announcing that they will not re-
open until the strike Is settled. The thea
tiers also have seen the advisa bility of tenn
porary suspensions. and few places Of
amusement remain open.
The crippled telephone service adds to
the gravity of the situation. which shows
no immediate prospect of Improvement

Assays High In
Copper and Gold

Ex-County Commissioner H. M.
Williams and S. d. Moore of Lostine
passed through Enterprise the first of
the week on their way to the head OF
Sheep creek to do assessment work on
the quartz claim owned by them and j.
A. Burleigh of this city at the mouth of
Lick creek.
The rock from this claim assays high
in copper, gold and silver. They were
accompanied by Joe Clemens, deputy
game warden for this county, who is a
practical mining man. Ii the ore con-
tinues to show as good results as it has
thus far, the shaft will be sunk to a
considerable depth.
This claim is only one of many
quartz locations on the headwaters of
the Imnaha, Sheep and other streams
in that section that are making good
showing, and the most conservative are
now predicting a big mining boom in
southern Wallowa on the completion OF
the railroad.
