SURVEY ABOUT COMPLETED.

]. o. Stats. of Lacrosse. who is
in charge of the party that is running
the survey for the new Pullman, La
Crosse and Columbia River Electric
line. was in the city during the
week, and reported that the prelimin-
ary survey was about completed, and
that the surveyors would be in Pull
man in few days more. The sur
vey has demonstrated that the grade
is very easy one, making the road a
cheap one to build.
The following dispatch, dated at
Washtucna, August Sth. may shed
some new light on the activity at this
time:
"The Northern Pacific is about to
make up an old project, contemplated
and in part surveyed years ago, to
connect the main line at Pullmn with
the Portland & Seattle at Washtucna
and thereby cut off at least 70 miles of
its route between Pullman and the
Columbia river, if a report from
Pullman received today be true
1.-The purchase of the right of way
across parts of Uuion fiat, where the
Northern Pacific does not now own
land is being pushed. A reliable
authority says that Lacrosse men
are empowered to buy right of way
for the company at this end of the
line. 1t is thought here that a re-
cent project of DR.. Herbert M. Greene
and others at Lacrosse to build an
electric line was plan to acquire
property for the Northern Pacific.
The object of the company is stated to
be the shortening of its route to the
Coast, which would seem to be in
line with its policy. The Northern
Pacific, compelled now to go north
ward from Pullman to Marshall juno
tion. distance of 60 miles, thence
southwest to Pasco on the Columbia,
distance of 125 miles, will save at
least 70 miles by the construction of
cutoff, building straight across from
Pullman to this city 1t has long
been known that the route is easily
feasible and that the company has
had it under contemplation.
1.-THE line would tap an old wheat
country in the central. part of Whit
man county now poorly supplied will
railroad facilities and would find {
down grade from Pullman to the
river. Washtucna will make an idea
junction for the cutoff and the Port
land and Seattle. The report states
that construction will begin immedi-
ately upon the completion of surveys
now being rapidly pushed. -

PaLOUSE COUNTRY
GETS SOaKIuG
Harvesting Operations Stopped by
Heavy Rainfall, but No
Damage Yet Done.

A drizzling rain that set in Thurs
day evening quieted the hum of the
Palouse harvest, and gave the laborer
in the yellowing fields an enforced Law
off, and visions of '93 rose up before
some of our citizens who experienced
the harvest of fourteen years ago in
the Palouse. Yesterday remained too
wet to harvest, and last night old
Jupiter Pluvius out did himself for a
half hour, and the rain poured down
in torrents, filling the cutters. and
running in streams down the roads.
The storm was not accompanied by
wind, however, and no material
damage, futher than the delay, re-
suited to the crops. With no further
rains. the combines and threshers can
begin operations again Monday.
The fruit and vegetable crop is
greatly benefited by the rain, an
abundant yield of potatoes, corn, etc.
now being assured

AFTER THE COOLING MOTH.

The experiments in the extermina-
tion of the codling moth which have
been conducted by r. E. Trumble in
the Walla Walla country have re-
suited satisfactorily so far as the
early apples are concerned. On the
ranch of C. L. Whitney, county fruit
inspector residing near Walla Walla,
the third spraying has been completed.
On one tree a count of the apples was
made and it was learned that out of
$50 apples only one was wormy. A
neighboring orchard which had not
been attended with such care was
found to contain ninety-fve per cent
wormy apples. The variety in both
orchards was the same, namely, the
Yellow Transparent.
Late apples are now in the same
good condition as the earlier types in
orchards where consistent spraying has
been done. The final test of the
efficiency of spraying as means of
exterminating the codling moth will
be found in the condition of the late
apples when they ripen in the fall.

Northern PACIFIC
train WRECKED
Passenger No. 10 Thursday Col
lided With Traction Engine
Near Garfield.

The passenger train that left here
for Spokane at IL :35 Thursday over
the Northern Pacific was wrecked a
mile this side of Garfield, the story
of the disaster being told as follows
bv the Garfield Enterrise:
"The Bowman & Dyer threshing
engine was crossing the railroad track
at a point where a curve obscured the
approaching train and was sighted by
the trainmen when perhaps five car
lengths away. The train was making
up lost time and was going at such
speed that it was impossible to bring
it to a standstill, in fact. when the
crash came its speed had slackened
but little. Under the engineers in
structionns the fireman jumped, but
the former stuck to his post until the
engine went over the bank. The ten
der overturned and by good luck he es-
capped being entangled in the mass of
wreckage. Those who had charge of
the threshing engine informed us
that they did not see the approaching
train until it was almost upon them
and that there was no chance to clear
the track or jump to safety. They
were hurled into the air and the trac-
tion engine completely demolished
smashed into bits. The fireman gives
as reason for not noticing the on
coming train that the noise of his ma
chine probably prevented the engineer
from hearing the passenger whistle if
it was blown. The wind was blowing
strongly and the machine caused
clouds of dust which obstructed the
vision. The passenger engine went
down the embankment without over
turning and when it came to stand
still was partly off the right of-way.
Of the six coaches four were derailed
and badly damaged. but none over
turned.
In spite of the serious nature of the
wreck there was no person killed out
right, and at this writing it is expect
ed that all of the injured will recover.
The injured are;
Elmer Vetter, engineer on passen-
ger train: shoulder broken and head
slightly cut. He also sustained in
ternal injuries, but it is not thought
that they will prove of serious ma
ture.
E. Nelson, fireman on passenger
ankle badly dislocated, shoulder broker
and head bruised. He is married mar
and lives in Spokane. He informed us
that this was the second time that he
had been caught in a wreck and, with
pallid but nervy grin, remarked thai
he Intended to quit railroad work be-
lore ill-fate got another whack at him.
Alva B. See, engineer of threshinq
engine; shoulder broken, head cut
and injured internally. He is a single
man whose home is in Seattle.
Claus Knopp, fireman of thresher
bruised and one leg painfully but moi
seriously injured. 1t is stated that
ne was thrown about fifty feet, practi
cally out of the danger zone. He i.
