East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-12-17

The scenery and the exhilerating
air of the Pilot Rock district were
not the only attractions enjoyed yes
terday by the excursionists.
On the arrival of the crowd to the
town boxes OF rish, red apples as
smooth and large and well favored
as any Hood River ever dared to
produce, were presented to the peo-
pie as a sample of Pilot Rocks re-
sources.
That such Spitzenberg apples as
were exhibited there could be grown
in Umatilla county was a surprise to
many old timers, who have seen
about all there is to be seen in the
county. But the apples were there
to speak for themselves and the ex-
cursionists were assured that they
were produced on the Birch creek
bottoms which promise to become
famous as winter apple producers.
For years many good bearing or
chards in the vicinity of Pilot Rock
have been permitted to retrograde
and become infected with pests OF
different kinds, until the class OF ap-
pies was far inferior to that raised
elsewhere, simply because it did not
pay to haul them so far to market,

Star Driving Good Houses.

The Pavilla Musical and Come
dy company is the attraction at the
Star theater this week, and there
was a packed house last night. Mr..
and Mrs, Pavilla and their four chill
dren appear in clever musical and
dancing sketches. The son and
daughter, aged Is and 16 also appear
in some clever acrobatic stunts. The
two smaller children, ages and 9
are little wonders. The entire change
at the Star this week is very good,
and above the average of the late
attractions at this theater.

but now that the railroad is COM
pleted and excellent transportation
facilities are afforded, the orchards
will be revived, cleaned up and made
to bear WELL This year the crop is
an exceptional one, as was shown at
the district fair, and from year to
year the production Of good fruit in
that section will increase percep-
tily.
Not only apples. but other fruits
do well and the cheap land that has
been idle for so long promises to be
turned into productive orchards,
fields and gardens.

REV. DRIVERS LECTURE.
Third Number on High School Lee.
ture Course Greeted by But Small
Audience.

While the audience which greeted
Rev. John Merritt Driver in his lee
ture on America Facing the Far
East" was very small compared to
those which greeted the former num-
bers OF the course, yet the lecture
was highly appreciated by those who
attended, according to the almost uni
versal sentiment this morning.
That the lecture contained much
deep thought and sentiment and that
the speaker had studied his subject
well and had added to his study much
valuable experience in the orient is
also attested by those who were for
tunate enough to hear him.
The next number on the high
school lecture course will be the

1t was a disordered crowd which
got off the train at the depot. From
a peaceful, orderly excursion It was
turned into a bowling mob, as it
were, every man seeking every other
mans collar and the chief conspira-
tors stood at the doors of the coaches
to see that no man wearing a collar
passed out.

2 KILLED, IS INJURED
AS BOILER BURSTS
Ontario & Western Locomotive
Blows Up Near Luzon, N. Y.
FEEDER PIPES HAD FROZEN
Train Running 40 Miles an Hour
When the Cars Seemed to Strike
Obstruction - Coaches Ditched
on the Rebound.

Middletown, n. 1.-TWO men were
blown to pieces, a third is fatally
hurt and twelve passengers were in
5ured by the bursting of the boiler
of a locomotive OF the Ontario and
Western road just south of Luzon,
Sullivan County. The engine was
drawing No. 3 train, n of the finest
on the road, and was making forty
miles an hour when suddenly there
was a terrible roar and the sound of
ripping and tearing of iron. The
train of cars rammed the wreck and
four of them left the rails. When
the steam cleared away there was
nothing but scrap iron left of the
locomotive. One hundred feet away
in a field was the shattered body of
Martin Mullen, the fireman. Fifty
feet from Mullen's body the engineer,
William Gadwood, was lying uncon-
scious and fatally hurt.
There was a third man riding in
the cab of the locomotive and he was
blown into many fragments. He is
believed to have been J. D. Valquette,
an engineer off duty, who was going
to his home in Cadosia. The cause
of the strange accident is said to have
been the freezing of the pipes be-
tween the tank and the boiler. This
caused the boiler to become over
heated and when the cold water was
finally turned on the explosion result
ed. None of the passengers were
seriously injured, and they were at
tended by DR.. Percy Deadly, of the
LOOMS S~anitarium, Liberty, who was
on the train.
The train left New York and
reached here on time. There we're
fifty passengers on the train. In less
than IN hour dispatches were re-
ceived here from Luzon that the train
was wrecked, and calls for a relief
train accompanied the news. With
u delay a train was made up here,
with physicians and wrecking crew,
and started at high speed for the
scene of the accident. The distance
was thirty-three miles, but it was
covered in record time. When the
relief train came up with the wreck
four of the cars were ditched.

Those who were not injured
were standing about helplessly in the
cold. Beside the track the conduc-
tor, Charles E. Doell, and the bag,
Peter Reilly, were found
painfully injured. The physicians
found Doell was suffering from a

permanent back injury.

THAw TRIAL A CRAZE.
Steamers Reaching Liverpool Raided
by Crowds Seeking Newspapers. :


Liverpool.-Long cabled reports of
the Thaw trial are filling some of the
most prominent columns Of every
newspaper every day. They have
only~whetted the eagerness of a Sec
ton Of the public here for fuller de-
tails, with the result that each in
coming transatlantic steamer is
boarded by n crowd that is frantic
to obtain copies of New York papers.
The passengers were quick to real
ize the demand and they refuse to sell
except at good prices. 1t does not
matter If the papers are torn and
travel stained so long as their ac-
counts OF the trial are intact. The
stewards on the steamers are reaping
a glorious harvest, often obtaining
seven or eight shi1fings for a single
copy.
The steamship companies have for
hidden their employees to traffic in
newspapers, but the trade goes on
surreptitiously. The buyers are
chiefly young men and youths from
city Offices. 1t is a m sight on
a train or street a to e a young
fellow struggling with a big Ameri-
can newspaper, which probably cost
him a quarter of his weeks salary.

STARVING N
RUSSIA AND CHINA
Alexis AladyiR, Russian Leader,
Declares Famine Terrible.
100000 HUNGRY cHINAMEN
The Greatest Famine in the History
of the World impending in Two
Nations American Assistance
Asked For Relief of Millions.

New York City.-Unless immediate
succor be sent to the Chinese famine
sufferers in the district north of the
Yangtse River the lives of 10000
900 starving Chinese farmers Will be
snuffed out within a few weeks.
A communication to this effect was
received by E. n. Johnston, OF the
Christian Herald. from a prominent
civic society in China which has been
soliciting aid for the famine sufferers
from the nations of the world.
Immediate steps will be taken by
charitable institutions of this city to
send relief to the sufferers.
"The famine in North China is the
most terrible in the history of the
world" said Mr.. Johnston. "Not
even the famines of India can COM
pare with it. IT covers an area of
more than 10000 square miles, with
a population of 10000, 900. It is in
evitable that this whole population
will be wiped out unless relief be
sent at once.
Last October and November it
rained in this district for forty days
without. cessation. Every crop was
utterly ruined. The Chinese of that
section rely for food entirely upon
what thew raise. They are mostly
small land holders or tenants.
"The whole COUNTRY was covered
with water, and as there we're no
crops there was no seed for n new
planting. In December 1000, 900 OF
the 10000, 900 inhabitants were des-
titute and thousands had died. By
February 1 the whole population was
starving and the suffering was terri
ble."
