HEAD-ON COLLISION
PASSENGER TRAIN SMASHED
into FREIGHT In MONTANA.
Frightful Accident near Billings, Mont.
Grew on Freight Train Blamed for
Disaster-Snow Falling at the Time

Quick to the Rescue.

of the Northern Pacific railroad 21 per-

several fatally, and about 80 more or
senger train No. 16, known as the east
bound Burlington flyer, and a west
bound freight train at $40 o o'clock
Friday morning at siding known as
Youngs point, about so miles west of
Billings. The fast travelling passenger
train crashed into the freight just
entering the siding during binding
snowstorm, the engineer of the pas
senger failing to see the signal flag
of the freight train in time to avert
the crash
The passenger train, which was run
ming about so miles an hour, crashed
into the freight, wrecking both loco
motives and telescoping the. smoker
and baggage car. The smoker was re-
duced to kindling wood and only three
persons riding therein are known to
have got out of the wrecked car alive.
Many of the killed were terribly
mangled, some of them being ground
to bits.
When the relief train reached the
wreck the scene was one of most
heartrending nature. Many volunteers
were engaged in taking the bleeding
forms from underneath the wrecked
cars. The groans of the injured and
dying were terrible.
On the relief train were DR.. Watkins
and his assistants from Billings and
several nurses, and at Park City and
Laurel a number of other physicians
got on the train. Everything possible
was furnished the injured and every
thing possible done to save the lives
of those who were dying. The cold
damp, snowy weather increased tho
suffering The farmers living neal
rendered their services, supplying
clothing and blankets and received
many injured into their homes.

MAYOR LANE USES VETO.
Portland City Employees Cannot Have
Higher Salaries.

In pursuance to an announcement
made several weeks ago Mayor Lane
has vetoed several ordinances increas-
ing salaries of city employees, says the
oregon Daily Journal. Mayor Lane
takes the stand that the present time
is not the right time TO make in.
creases and that If changes are to be
made in the salaries of city employees
that the council should establish a
fixed schedule of wages.
In his veto message Mayor Lane
says: ~
II do not wish to say that the SAL
airy Of this clerk should not be in
creased in order to make 1t conform
to that of some other person whose
salary has also been raised, yet ]
think that some definite schedule OF
wages should be adopted and all en-
ployes under a certain classification
should receive the same monthly pay.
II do not think at this time that
the city Should enter upon any ex-
penditure which Is not absolutely
necessary and should, in fact, careful
ly scan its expenditures in an effort
to reduce the same If 1t can legti-
mately and justly do So"

haps during the Rose show, while the

It is the intention Of the executive

NEW USE FOR THE POST CARD
German Educators Introducing Them
Into Public School Work.

Consul Frank S. Hannah, in the
following report from Magdeburg
tells of the new educational use OF
pictorial post cards in Germany:
At the recent meeting of the Ger
man Geographical society the idea
was advanced for the first time to
employ picture postal cards as means
of instruction in the schools. The
post card industry has made enor-
nous progress in the last few years,
and in the last few months cards
have been brought into the market
illustrative of natural history, politi-
cal history and for use in instruction
in the German language, which have
met with the hearty approval of pro-
fessors and teachers of reputation.
The school museum at Breslau has
undertaken to form a collection Of
these cards, and for this purpose has
requested the various publishers to
forward them samples of their out
put, that it may be determined to
what extent they may be used for
purposes OF instruction. Further,
two teachers in Leipzig have estab-
lished a central bureau for meritor-
ious post cards of all sorts intended
for purposes of instruction, collec-
tion and travel. They have also de-
veloped and offer for sale two prac-
tical systems for the display and fill
ing Of the cards. These gentlemen
select and arrange the cards most
carefully according to pedagogical
principles. Such prominent educat-
ors as Harms, Aischendorf, Rudolf
Schmida and others have indorsed the
plan Of using illustrated cards as an
aid In instruction, and even official
bodies, such as the Provincial Schulz
kollegium in Potsdam, anticipate IA
vorable results from them.

John Mills Makes Long Journey tc
Visit With His Brother-Likes the
West.
From the bogs and ruined castles
Of Ireland to the grain fields OF UNA
tilla county is the long jump that has
just been made by John Mills, broth
er of William Mills, the Helix far
mer. The brother from the Emerald
isle arrived in Pendleton this morn
ing and during his stay here was
greatly interested in the town and
surrounding country. While waiting
here for the arrival OF his brother
he was shown about the city by E. L..
Smith and he was strong in his praise
of the west.
'This is my first visit to the west,
though l have been in some of the
eastern cities of the United States
before" said he this forenoon. "The
country is very different from Ire
land. In that country everything is
very slow and the tendency is to stay
with the old customs. The country
has advanced during the past genera
ton and the land law which makes it
possible for tenant to purchase land
is proving beneficial. But it takes
a purchaser about 60 years, or two
generations, to complete payments to
the government. Under the law the
government loans money to those who
wish to buy land and it is paid back
in small installments"
While he came to the west mainly
for visit with his brother, Mr.. Mills
is also thinking of locating in this
country.
