CATTLE TRAIN
WENT IN DITCH
Destructive Wreck on n. ?.
Sunday near Wa||u|a

! One of the most destructive train
wrecks known to the Northern Paci-
fic in years occurred early Sunday
! morning at Vancycle Canon, eight
miles from Wallula, when a complete
train, consisting of engine, tender and
sixteen cars of cattle, ran off the track.
AT the present time officials of the road
are unable to even estimate the dam
age.
The first news of the accident be-
came general in Pasco about o'clock
in the morning and wrecking crews
| were Immediately dispatched to the
scene. Later in the morning a repre-
sentative of The Statesman together
with a number of travelling men who
We're spending the night in Pasco ac-
companied two division officials and
made flying trip to the wreck The
scene as it met the gaze of the last
arrivals was horrible beyond words to
describe. Hundreds of MANNED and
bleeding cattle, horrorstricken and
madly plunging and groaning in their
endeavOr to free themselves from the
mass of debris, was sight never to be
forgotten. Men We're already at work
butchering the crippled animals. thus
saving the meat as well as placing
them beyond their awful sufferings.
Conductor Springer, who was in
charge of the crew, was given almost
complete control of the work. Firemen
Walker and Brakeman Hanson were
found lying near the track uncon-
scious, and it was only through the aid
of member of the crew who fortu-
nately escaped serious injuries that a
partial story of the horrible disaster
was gained.
I'VE had an exceptionally large load
this morning." said JONES' and while
every man in the crew knew that it
was a great risk to run the grade with
it, we received orders and we had to
follow them. A grade of about four
per cent is bad enough with a light en-
gine and a small load but when it
comes to the engines in the 13 hundred
class, it is unsafe. AS sOon as we start
ed down the grade, the boys knew
they were up against it. as the brakes
didn't seem to do any good We tried
our best to get control of the train. but
she seemed to be getting away from us.
l don't reminder very much from that
time on until picked myself up from
the heap after the wreck However,
We knew if we could keep her on the
track after passing the canyon we had
a chance, but she struck just as we
expected, at the curve. The engine
shot straight out carrying with it ties
and rails and ALL That is about all
can remember of the accident"
1t was evident from the injuries re-
ceived by Walker that he jumped Just
before the engine struck the curve. He
was picked up by the crew and was
first thought to be dead Hansen was
On top of the train when the shock
came and his body was hurled several
rods from the track. The extent of his
injuries are not known. Both men
were taken to Pasco and yesterday
morning were placed aboard the trair,
bound for Tacoma

were consigned to Frye, Bruhn &
company, Seattle.

SPECIAL TRAINS
MAY Be TAB00ED
INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMITS
SION HAS RAILROADS IN
THE AIR,

In view of the rate laws which in
this state declare there shall be no
passenger charged more than three
cents a mile and in some eastern
states where the maximum rate of two
cents is placed by law, there has arisen
some peculiar situations, the most
striking of which is the special train
feature.
Special trains are frequently char
tered by companies and individuals at
times when it is necessary to get from
one station to another before the reg
ular train from that point shall leave.
To do this, it requires a special crew,
an extra engine and coach. All this
costs the railroads a neat sum Of
money and they have always charged
at least the cost, mounting sometimes
into the hundreds, and when one pas
senger is carried, to several dollars per
mile.
Now comes the law which says no
passenger shall be charged more than
a certain amount. Is it lawful, then,
to furnish railroad specials at more
than three cents a mile?
This is a question which
has bothered the railroads of the
United States a great deal, and out
vice is limited, special trains are
needed often. Attorneys for the rail-
roads are at sea On the point. Some
say the point raised is ridiculous, but
others are not so sure and some have
expressed doubt as to whether the
rate of several dollars a mile would be
legal. Some railroad attorneys point
to some decisions of the interstate
commerce commission and look dubi-
Gus.
Attorneys Cannot Agree.
However their opinions may be Civ
en-, the matter is making a great stir
in railroad circles, and is being aired
thoroughly by railroad attorneys. AS
they cannot agree, it is undecided by
ne pdSSSIlSSI dSCAlS VI tilS
railroads just how the matter is to be
handled.
There have been instances in the
west of where parties of two or three
men have tried to hire special trains
ard the officials have refused them for
this very reason, although the engines,
coaches and crews were on hand. But
they could not run a special for two
or three cents a mile for each pas
senger and rather than run the risk of
a fine in court, which would eat up the
meagre profits of a special, they re-
fused to furnish the train.
What the outcome of the matter will
be cannot be foretold. If the railroad
attorneys cannot agree. it is barely
possible the state and United States
attorneys can, or that the courts
could.
In the meantime, the railroads will
either run the risk of fine or refuse
snecial trains, which latter event might
cut some of Walla Walla's best shows
ont this winter as specials often have
70 be used in getting il. and out OF the
city.

Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines, March 1.-Governor
Cummins affixed his signature to the
2-cent fare bill yesterday at 4 p. m,
and 1t will go into effect July 4.
There was quite spirited contest
between Senator Turner and Repre-
sentative Meredith for possession of
the pen with which the governor signed
the bill. Representative Meredith
thought he was entitled to it, being
chairman Of the house railroad COM
mittee, and especially since the house
passed the bill first. Senator Turner
wanted the pen because he had intro
duced similar bill in the senate. The
governor finally decided the matter by
using two pens. The one with which
he signed his name went to Chairman
Meredith, while the pen with which he
wrote the word governor" became the
property of Senator Turner, and so
both have souvenirs which they are
preserving with great care.

University and State College VIII Not
Get Together.
Special to Times Republican.
Ames, March lit appears to be
decided fact that the University of
Iowa State college will have no dual
field meet at all this spring. Just why
is not known to the followers of ath-
letics at Ames, but 1T would appear
that the fault lies with Iowa when all
the facts are considered. AS early as
last fall Iowa was offered any date
with Ames for this spring save the
week before the state meet, which
never has gone and will not this sea-
son to any school. After holding the
option of several dates for some
months and then refusing them, Iowa
has at last sent word that the only
date they would accept would be the
week before the state meet when they
had been notified before that it could
not be had in addition to knowing the
custom of Ames in not taking a meet
for such date. The last date held
for Iowa has been taken by Nebraska
It would seem that Iowa is fearful
of the outcome of a meet between her
self and Ames and does not care to
hold one this season. The past two
seasons have been such as to warrant
her In feeling this way and no other
plausible reason for her refusal to hold
a meet with Ames when she had her
own time and all the dates on the call
endar to pick from, can be given. 1t
is further stated that Iowa has turned
a cold shoulder to Grinnell and in
stead Of holding meet with her and I.
S. C. is seeking q triangular meet with
Cornell and Coe.

MUCH NEEDLESS SUFFERING

BUILD SYSTEM STRENGTHEN
THE NERVES, RESTORE LOST FLESH. AND

Extreme debility, a constant sense OF
fatigue, headaches at the base OF the
skull and across the forehead and eyes,
pain in the back, deafness. Kissing
sounds in the head, stomach disorder,
palpitation of the heart-these are
symptoms that mark the after effects
of grip. And these lingering and stub
born after effects are often worse than
the disease itself. The health Of the
body is badly shattered and oftentimes
there seems to be no way to restore 1t.
The sufferer becomes nervous, irritable
and the system is powerless to resist
the attacks Of such diseases as bron-
chitis, pneumonia and consumption.
The story told by scores Of victims of
the grip is substantially the same. One
was tortured by terrible pains at the
base Of the skull that made life unen-
durable and that long def1ed the power

faint and in every way wretched from
anaemia or scantiness of blood; another
had horrible headaches, was nervous
and couldn't sleep; another was left
with weak lungs, difficulty in breathing
and acute neuralgia. In every case re-
lief was sought in vain until the great
