S. P. EXPRESS
TRAIN WRECKED
"SUNSET" DlTcHED, OWING TO
DEFECTIVE RAIL.
PASSENGERS HAVE REMARKABLY
FORTUNATE ESCAPE
Five Pullman and an Observation Car
Overturned Near Bertram,
Thirty Miles West
of Yuma

Los Angeles passengers on the sum
set express from New Orleans. which
was due in Los Angeles at l2:46 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, did not arrive
until II o'clock last night. They had
passed through q wreck, which was re-
markable in that they escaped serious
injury.
Yesterday morning near Bertram,
thirty miles west of Yuma, the train
was wrecked by defective rail, and
although the majority of the passen-
gers were in their berths at the time
of the accident, all escaped without
serious hurt.
owing to the heavy tourist travel the
train was divided into two sections
before leaving New Orleans, and the
first section, while going at rate or
forty miles an hour. struck the flaw.
The trains speed carried the engine,
mail car, smoker and diner safely over
the rail, but the five Pullman cars
and the observation car were ditched.
That no fatalities occurred vas con-
sidered a miracle by the Los An
geles people who were passengers.
D. M. Dorman, 401 East Fourth
street, of the California Cream and
Butter company, who was on the train
with his mother in speaking or the
wreck, said: "Most of the passengers
were in their berths and were awak-
ened by a grinding noise. BEFORE re-
allied what was going on l found my
self tossed from my berth and lying
AGAINST the window of the car.
raised the window and crawled out of
the car without effort. as 1t had been
thrown on It's side. AS saw the cars
in the rear in the same position L
thought an awful accident had oc-
Cured, but soon people began to APP
pear and wonder what had happened.
Calm Soon Restored
Several of the women became hys-
terical and broke the windows in their
frantic endeavors to get out, but for
tunately no fire started, and within
ten minutes all had Gained down.
"a frightened porter had rushed to
the nearest station and given the
alarm that many persons had been
killed and injured in the wreck, and
this brought number Of doctors and
nurses on the scene, but their services
were not needed.
"All received a severe shaking up,
and some of the women were much
frightened, but that was the extent OF
the harm done.
SIT was necessary to build another
track around the wreck before traffic
could proceed, and the wreck caused
a delay to our train of nearly ten
hours, although other trains were al
lowed to go over the improvised
track"
A board of inquiry was organized
yesterday afternoon to investigate the
cause of the derailment, and that 1t
was not intentional was the opinion
of the passengers, the blame being
laid on defective rail.

Death Turks in Caves

Ever since 1874, when Major David
son discovered the Josephine county
caves in Oregon, there has been tend
ency on the part of the public to enter
these natural wonders without guide.
Three years after the caves We're
known to be of such magnitude, f. M.
Nickerson of Kirby, Ore, with the
assistance of others, made a partial
survey of four floor levels and Installed
ladders where needed at many OF the
difficIlt passageways.
These caves have never been fully
explored to this day, and 1t is said that
they extend in and ahrough the noun
tain five or six miles from the main
entrance. Once inside there may be
found every variety of lime deposits.
Within the dark caverns may be heard
the sound of running water from an
unknown source. A strong breeze that
chills is constantly in motion. The
caves are situated in Cave mountain,
a peak that vaults into the sky a dis
t ce of 5000 feet, and the opening
through which tourists may enter is
found at an elevation of 1000 feet.
In 1897 the caves were withdrawn
from public lands, and by late procla-
nation issued by the president the
mountain is set aside as a public park.
There is a strong movement on foot
since the accidental killing of Frank
Ellis to have the government prohibit
tourists and visitors from entering the
caves without official guides 1t has
been suggested that the government
appropriate money and place iron gates
over the opening and that they be Sc
curely locked.-Portland Oregonian.

GETS SANCTION
TO RUN RACE
Oakland Road Races for Coming Por-
toa Event Recognized by Ma
tonaI Body of Auto
Associations

L. P. Lowe, chairman of the race
committee of the Automobile club of
California and western representative
of the Automobile association of Amer
lea, has received official sanction for
the Oakland Portola road race, which
is to be held on the Oakland course,
Saturday, October %, 1909 This sane
ton will undoubtedly be the source Of
bringing a great many of the eastern
drivers to the coast for this event.
Entries for the race will now be inn
mediately issued and sent to the fac
tories from which inquiries have been
received in reference to the entering of
cars.
In order to accommodate the crowds
that will go from San Francisco to the
race, it is proposed to get the Southern
Pacific to operate the ferryboats all
night preceding the race. f. S. Samu-
els of the executive committee of the
race in an interview said:
1.-THE transportation of the people to
and from the scene of the race would
be one of the most important things OF
that event. We will not only make eV-
cry preparation to get the people to the
course as quickly and conveniently as
possible, but we will endeavor to get
the officials of the railroad to run extra
boats and trains"
That there will be need for extra
boats is a certainty. There are several
thousand owners of automobiles in san
Francisco, and practically every one OF
these will want to make the trip TO the
course in an automobile. Besides these
local motorists, there will undoubtedly
be several hundred other owners OF
cars who will be in the city visiting the
Portola carnival, and they will join the
crowd going to the race.
From indications there will be con-
tinual line of automobiles leaving san
Francisco Friday night and Saturday
morning. That the transportation ia
ci1ities should be adequate is important,
and will undoubtedly meet with the ap-
proval and cooperation of the South
ern Pacific.

CHANGES IN MANEUVERS
CAUSES MUCH COMMENT 7
Restriction of German Naval MoVe-
ments to the Baltic May Show
Friendliness to England

BERLIN, Sept. 22.-In naval circles
considerable comment is being made
as to the supposed political significance
of the restriction of this years naval
maneuvers to the Baltic sea, Even the
passage of ships in war order through
the Kaiser Wilhelm canal, which was
formerly practiced, is omitted.
The program issued shows that the
ships will remain in the Baltic till the
end of the maneuvers. This forms a
record as regards recent years, as until
last year the maneuvers had been
mostly held in the North sea, while
last year. though the greater part was
held in the Baltic, the maneuvers
ended as usual in the North sea. This
year even landing operations will be
made on the Baltic coast of Schleswig-
Holstein.
Commentators on this change imply
that the reversal of the former ma
neuvers policy is inspired by desire
to prove the peaceful intentions of Ger
many as regards England and to show
the needlessness of a British counter
concentration in the North sea-.

RECORD OF WHOLESALE
LUMBER PRICES ISSUED
REPORT. COVERS WOOD FROM
NEARLY EVERY STATE
United States Forest Service Publishes
Statistics Based on Data Fur-
nshed by More Than 1000
Manufacturers

WASHINGTON, Sept. ga record
of the wholesale prices of lumber f. o.
b. mill for the quarter including April,
May and June. based on reports sub
mitted by more than 1000 of the largest
manufacturers Of lumber in all parts
of the country, has been issued by the
United States forest service. Requests
for data for the second quarter, end
ing September 80, will be published in
the early part of October.
The record covers the principal items
of all the commercial woods cut in
nearly every state. The compilation
was undertaken for the double purpose
of having a continuous statistical rec
ord of such prices and to show, in con-
trast to market prices-which include
the important items of freight charges
and selling costs-just what the man
ufacturers of lumber receive for their
product at the mill.
For more than a year a monthly rec
ord has been compiled showing the
prices of lumber in eighteen Of the
largest markets of the country. The
market prices published do not show
what the lumber is worth at the mill,
as the freight charges, selling costs and
other items were included, but the
quarterly record eliminates these items
and shows the mill price.
Only few representative grades in
each of the hardwoods and softwoods
were taken, but from them lumbermen
can draw deductions so as to give the
approximate value of grades on which
prices were not requested. In addition
to the numerous items on which prices
were secured, the value of the mill run
the average of all grades of lumber
produced-Was also obtained for all the
commercial woods.
