ORIENTAL LIMITED WRECKED
Great Northern Train Is Dltched and
Burned.

SPOKANE, Wash, April 21.-The
Great Northern Oriental Limited pas
senger train which left Spokane Sun
day morning at 10:4O was derailed
early yesterday morning near Sum-
NIT, Mont, the accident resulting in
the destruction of $4,000 worth of
equipment and the slight injury of
members of the train crew and sew
eral passengers.
The wreck was caused by what rail-
road men call underground seep-
age" meaning that the roadbed was
washed out from under the track by
springs. Striking the soft spot, the
engine went OF the track, taking with
it the mail car, combination baggage
and express car and two day coaches.
The derailed cars turned over and
caught fire. The flames were COM
municated to the tourist car, which
remained on the tracks, and that, to-
gether with the derailed cars, was de-
stroyed. The diner, standard sleeper
and observation cars were not dam
aged. An engine from Summit, two
miles west, was dispatched to the
scene of the wreck and with this as
sistance the three rear cars of the
train were saved.
The passengers were loaded on the
diner, standard sleeper and observa-
tion cars and taken back to Summit,
where the saved equipment was at
tached to passenger train No. 4. The
track at the wreck was cleared at 6
o'clock and No. 4 with its additional
equipment arrived at Whiteflsh at z
O'Clock last night.
Engineer Bostwick of the Oriental
Limited received a scalp wound
Fireman Wood had his wrist dislo-
Gated and Louis p. Anderson, railway
mail clerk, sustained a broken rib
Injuries sustained by the passengers
were slight.
THE wreck occurred at a point
where no trouble with the road bed
has ever been experienced before,
said E. L. Brown, superintendent OF
the western district of the Great
Northern, in Spokane last night
The defect in the track, which wal
caused by springs which washed oui
the fill, could not have been per
ceived. Such accidents are of not in
frequent occurrence in the noun
tains All the mail and baggage wat
saved.

The warm spring weather and
winds that have prevailed for the last
few days have started the snow to
melting in the mountains, and the
mountain streams have been convert
ed into raging torrents, and the lake
waters been caused to raise over Is
inches since last evening.
In many places in the Occur
d'Alene country the damage by rea-
son of the floods has been severe,
and il others no material damage has
yet been felt, but will be should the
warm weather continue. At Burke
it is estimated that from 10 to Is
families were driven out of their
homes by the floods. and a number
of houses were swept away. At Ca
taldo a jam threatened the o. X. &
N. bridge. The section foreman or
dered his men out to break the jam,
and one of them fell in the water be-
tween the logs and was drowned.
This Is the only fatality so far report
ed. The Shoshone county bridge over
the north fork of the Occur d'Alene
river, which was CONSTRUCTED at a
cost OF $4,000, has been blown up.
The roads in this district are said to
be impossible. The o. r. & n. Is
maintaining a crew, watching the
river and repairing the banks where
IL runs close to the railroad, and this

DRAYMEN ENTER PROTEST
Think scavinger Work should Come
Under bray Ordinance.


A number Of draymen appeared be-
fore Judge Main yesterday afternoon
and complained of a violation OF the
dray ordinance and asked that war
rants be issued against Roundtree 4
Noble. who have been engaged IN
hauling debris and other waste mate
rial for property owners from the al
leys in the city.
The judge. after an investigation OF
the ordinances covering the scaylnger
business, declined to issue the war
rants until instructed to do 80 by the
city attorney. The matter was taken
to him for consideration and the Is
suance OF the warrant was set for
. o'clock this afternoon. but no action
was taken, owing to the fact that the
city attorney held that there was no
ordinance on the books under which
action against the Arm could be
taken.
The license required to be paid by
draymen, Il seems. ID sI3 a quarter.
and the provisions Of the ordinance
cover no other subjects, save pack
ages and freight. and Is not broad
enough to cover drayage or hauling
OF other descriptions, The scavenger
ordinance asks for license of S2b a
quarter. but It's provisions are not
broad enough to cover the subject
matter. and the decision OF the Judge
and city attorney was that property
owners were free to hire any one they
saw fit to do their hauling in this line,
and that In doing so there would be
violation of no ordinance on the
books.

PEORIA, ILL.,, April 21.-A special
local option is being held here today
to enable the voters to decide be-

The success of the Anti-SalOon
