NEWS OF THE RAILWAY WORLD
Bull LGAR|AN IS LEAP
IS FATAL
FEARING COLLISION, LABORER
LEAPS FROM TRAIN AND
ROLLS BENEATH WHEELS.

In an effort to escape injury in
what, to them, seemed an inevitable
collision between a westbound freight
train and work train, five Bull
garian laborers in the employ of Lisk
& Clifford, We're injured by jumping
from the train, one of them dying last
night from the effects of his injuries.
The accident occurred just west of
Big Bend and was the direct result OF
panic on the part of the laborers,
who, on observing the approach of an
opposing train as the work train
rounded sharp curve, lost their
heads and leaped from their car. One
of the men, Charlie Chldbossi, sprang
to the side of high and steep cut
and was thrown back under the
wheels of the locomotive which was
attached to the work train, and re-
ceived fatal injuries. The man had
one leg cut off just below the knee,
his head badly mashed and his chest
badly crushed Another of the men
fell under flat car and had his left
arm broken below the elbow, while
yet another man suffered the loss of
an eye. The remaining two laborers
sustained injuries which have been
pronounced of a minor nature.
While the serious nature of the ac-
cident is directly attributable to the
panic of the laborers, 1t is more than
probable that one member of the
work train crew will be held for ex-
animation before the local Northern
Pacific officials.
The work train, which is in charge
of Conductor John Dismon, Is de-
tailed TO the service of sub-Contract-
ors Lisk & Clifford, who are in
charge of the Northern Pacific con-
struction work between Big Bend and
Garrison and are at present working
on the new grade at bridge 81. Yes
terday the work train tied up at Big
Bend for dinner and was returning
to the bridge when the accident took
place.
1t is said that telephone instructions
We're given the flagman at bridge 81
to hold all trains west at the bridge
until the gravel outfit cleared at the
objective point Through some mis-
understanding the fagman failed to
detain No. So, but gave the engineer
orders to look out for the work train
consequently a slow rate of speed was
maintained.
The crews in charge of both trains
are emphatic in the statement that
there was no danger from collision, as
neither train was running faster than
eight miles an hour.
A special train was made up as
soon as the Missoula officials were
notified of the accident, and the in
jured men brought to St Patrick's
hospital for treatment The special
arrived here at about o'clock last
evening and Childbossi died shortly
afterWard

NORTHERN PACIFIC OFFICIALS
MAIN LINE SATISFACTORY.

The officers special, which left here
yesterday for a trip of inspection over
the St. Regis Paradise and the Bel
KNAPP cutoffs, arrived in Trout Creek
early yesterday afternoon, after max
ing the trip as scheduled. The con-
struction work on both lines was de-
clared highly satisfactory and recon-
mendations were made that the st.

ton as soon as the necessary equip
ment was available.

that passenger traffic will be sent
round the big Hill later.

NOW ON THIS DIVISION

The Rocky Mountain officials said
yesterday that all of the delayed
freight business had been moved over
the division and that the traffic from
this time on would be of a current ma
ture. The movement continues ex-
tremely heavy and the outlook is that
big deliveries will be made at the di
vision terminals for some time to
come The predominance OF freight
traffic at present Is in westerly d.
rection, necessitating the moving of
several light trains east daily to meet
the requirements to bring the extra
tonnage west. Passenger service,
while subject to some delay from the
west, is in good shape and is receiv-
ing no delay on this division.

RAILROAD MAGNATE
GIVES ADVICE
RAILROAD SUCCESS ACHIEVED
ONLY BY HARD WORK SAYS
E. n. HARTMAN.

New Haven, Conn, Jan, 25.-Edward
II. Hartman, railroad magnate, has
written the Yale Daily News his
views on college trimming as prepnra-
ton for railroading, He wrote:
The question you have asked me,
is college education an essential or
even a valuable preparation for man
who expects to enter railroading?' Is
q hard one to answer and my answer
is both yes and no. college educa-
tion will be a great help If the man in
going through college has kept the
foundation of high school learning
firmly fixed. On the other hand, If
he has neglected his handwriting and
forgotten his arithmetic in higher
mathematics nothing could be worse
for him. If, however, he still retains
these essentials he has a great ad-
vantage In that he has a broader view
of the world and a greater knowledge
of how to learn.
Little Learning Dangerous Thing.
The high school boy has the ad
vantage in that all the first essentials
of good work in railroading are at his
fingers end. For instance, take the
making of single statement. A state
ment should be made like IA picture
something that can be taken In at q
glance, not tumble of letters and fig
ures that must be traced carefully out
and the meaning extracted from the
mass of superfluous matter. a high
school boy will draw such a statement
with perfect accuracy and clearness
while young college graduate viii
draw it in such a way that it is a puz-
zling scrawl.
Thus college education is, in the
beginning, a real disadvantage and
have found that in every case the higt
school boy does better work than the
college man for the first few years
However, as soon as the college mar
has overcome these habits and hes
gotten back to first principles he vii
go ahead much faster than his less
educated rival. His mind is, naturally
better developed and more capable ol
grasping the fine points of the bust
ness.
"On the other hand, the high schoo
Doy, btIlIS Souu6tls 10 IiloiC
and has not in most cases the irregu-
lar habits of the college man.
All Must Start at Bottom.
mo matter how well educated mar
may be he must start in railroading al
the bottom.
"A railroad man has no fixed home;
he is like a naval officer, always al
sea- and. moreover, ne is always work
ing to the limit of his endurance. II
is the hardest life / know, and yet one
of the most pleasant. 1t cultivates an
insight. 1t teaches a knowledge OF
men, and in this way is the best train
ing for any profession.
Pull can never carry man far in
railroading. 1t is hard work and APP
plication that counts. Many mar
starts out well, but, lacking the stick
to-it spirit which is so pre-eminently
essential falls into obscurity.
My advice to the college man ex-
pecting to enter railroadng and hoping
ito have an easy life, is--don't; but tc
the man who does not mind the hard
est kind of work, who will not quit
under the early disappointments and
who wishes to have the most interest
ing sort of career is, by all means
do"

WHO KNOWS WHAT
k|RMESS MEANS
HERE Is THE ANSWER TO THE
PUZZLE THAT THE WOMAN'S
PARK SPRINGS.
VIII Be an Elaborate Festival Of Music
and Danding-Mest Brilliant
Ever Planned Here.

What is a Kfrmess?' is the ques-
ton which is being generally asked at
the present time in Walla Walla re-
gariins the entertainment being plan
ned by the Woman's Park club, to be
held in this city during the first week
in June under the direction of Mrs. Lila
Stewart who has had such phenomenal
success with all of the attempts that
she has undertaken. Those seeking
the aid of the family lexicon find that
it means combination Of outdoor fes-
rival and fair, but clever club women,
as a source of information, define it
somewhat differently.
1t is said that the E.rmess, as will
be given here, will be stupendous af-
fair, but the dancing masters VINO have
the affair in charge express every con-
fidenee in the local talent they have al
ready located in this city. 1t is as
sured, however that the entertainment
will be one of the most brilliant given
for many seasons and owing to the
great popularity with which it was re-
ceived in other cities, it is expected
that the same will be accorded it in
Walla Walla.
Although not definitely known, it is
thought that the program will include
a number of the most widely known
and spirited dances of the various
countries, including minuets from the
French court, Scotch reels, with High
land dances, an Italian tarantella, the
Muscovian dance, suggestive of the
Merry Widow" Spanish dances, gyp-
sy dances and any number of other
steps. The dancing is to be but one

Such was the information contained
in a personal letter written by Rudolph
S. Blome, of the Blome Granitoid paw
sentative, Arthur e. Ashbrook, who
vas last night awarded contracts for
granitoid pavement in three local i'm
prOvement districts, aggregatfng some
Is blocks. The bid of the Blome people
was $2.37 square yard, as compared
with $3.50 per square yard, the bid OF
John Freis for macadamizing.
Considerable dissatisfaction has been
expressed today regarding the state
ments made at last nights meeting of
the council to the effect that the paving
bids were exorbitant, and that prop
erty owners were being held up for
the improvements. Attorney H. S.
Blandford and Mr. Ashbrook discussed
the question at length, the attorney
submitting figures of his own to prove
that the companies are making a profit
of approximately IS on every cubic
yard of pavement put down.
In speaking of the assertions made by
Mr.. Blandford last night. Mr.. Ash
brook this morning said that the prop
erty owners had been given an entirely
erroneous idea of the bids submitted
When the second call for bids was
made" said Mr. Ashbrook, IT knew
about what the asphalt companies bids
would be, and wired headquarters,
keeping my bid open until the last
moment. In reply to my wire, I re-
ceived instructions to make no change
in our estimate unless it was an In
crease of 10 cents, that word having
been sent me because we had already
submitted our best possible bid"
In all of the IS blocks on which i'm
will be made under the
contracts awarded last night, Mr.. Ash
brook says he has received no pro-
tests from property owners, and fur
ther stated that number Of petitions
were before the council for considera-
ton, but were not read because the
council saw the property owners were
strongly in favor of granitoid, and
wanted to give that pavement a trial
In addition to having petitions ready
for presentation, half a dozen Of the
most interested property owners were
present to speak in favor of granitoid,
if necessary, and in view of these facts

YOUNG PEARE WINS
BY RIGHT OF BIRTH
Young Athlete Who Was Winner in
PreIiminaries Yesterday Is Son
of Man Who Used to Be
Conner on Track.

Jack Peare the star sprinter from
La Grande, who yesterday took first
in the fourth heat of the half mile run,
comes by his qualifications honestly,
his father, Jack Peare, a jeweler of
the Oregon town, having been prize
winner in the fire tournaments held
here II and Is years ago. In recalling
"reminiscences of one of the tourna-
ments in which the senior Peare parti-
cipated, one Of the members of the
former volunteer fire department. this
morning said:
II remember about II years ago in
one of the tournaments held here,
Walla Walla had man whose strid
was not adapted to the hurdles when
they were set at the regulation dis
tance Of 10 yards; otherwise, however
he was whirlwind, and was touted
a winner in the 120-yard hurdles in
which Peare was entered from La
Grande
I'm order to overcome the handicap
at which the Walla Walla runner was
placed on account of his stride, the Of
hurdles yards apart, and made the
race duck soup for the local man. Just
before the pistol shot was fired, some
one in the crowd called Peares atten-
ton to the distance at which the hur-
dies had been placed, and he refused
to run until they had been changed
That done and the race was his in q
walk.
Don't quote me as telling this story
on Peare, or he would come over herr
and put me out of business. He has
won any number of medals and rib
bons in the events in which he has par
ticipated, and mis- son is making an ex-
cellent showing on Ankeny field this
week, indicating that he may some day
become such whirlwind as his pater.'
