Stranger Killed by Train

Yesterday morning helper loco
motive returning from trip up the
hill struck and killed a man who was
walking on the track few miles west
of town. Persistent inquiries failed to
elicit any positive information from the
railroad men concerning the occur
renee. The corpse was brought to
town and placed in charge OF Mrs.
A. J. Martin, one of the local under
takers, who placed it in coffin and
shipped it to Wenatchee under instruc-
tons from the coroner. An inquest
will probably be held today. The man
was apparently about forty-fve years Of
age and dressed as a laborer.

ELECTRIC TRAINS NOW ON
Great Northern Began Operating Electric
Locomotives Thru Cascade
Tunnel Yesterday

1t was on the schedule that the new
electric locomotive service thru the
Cascade tunnel would begin yesterday
with the coupling on Of ]. ]. Hilps
special, on its return east from the
A.-Y.-P. opening at Seattle.
The following data in regard to the
electric service was gathered from an
interview with Mr.. Shea, the engineer
in charge OF the motor locomotive ser
vice:
The addition of four electric loco
motives for the Great Northern's noun
tain hauling marks a new period in the
history of electric railroading in the
United States, as it means the use Of
the three-phase system for heavy traffic
work as we'll as the first attempt to
handle the entire traffic on a main
trunk line with electricity.
The Cascade tunnel, boring thru the
summit OF the Cascade mountains, 40
miles west of Leavenworth, is little
more than two and one-half miles in
length, and the intention is to operate
all passenger and freight traffic thru
the tunnel by electric power. The
plant is located about two miles west
of Leavenworth on the Wenatchee
river and is capable of developing $500
horsepower. The approximate cost of
the work is 81 100000, and it is the
first experiment ever made to handle
freight on heavy grades with anything
but the old-fashioned steam power.
The electric locomotives are highly
interesting both from an electrical and
mechanical point of view. They are
of the double truck type, the total
length is As feet; the rigid wheel base,
however, is only II feet, so that they
can take the curves without difficulty.
The weight Of each locomotive is lis
tons and the drivers are five feet in
diameter. The motors are wound for
pressure of 500 volts, but the line
pressure from the plant is 5000 volts,
which makes necessary the interven-
ton Of special step-down transformers
which add considerably to the weight
of the locomotive. One advantage Of
the three-phase motors which is an i'm
portant one is that they operate at a
constant speed regardless of grades
and loads. The economy Of the plan
is apparent when it is taken into con-
sideration that speed of fifteen miles
per hour will be maintained as against
eight miles per hour with the 250-ton
mallet type steam locomotives now in
use, thereby enabling the company to
nearly double the hourly tonnage thru
the tunnel. 1t will also be big i'm
provement over the present method Of
handling passenger trains, as passen-
gers will not be annoyed by smoke or
GAS

THIS is MY 10TH BIRTHDAY
Henry Vignaud.

Henry Vignaud, who recently re-
signed his position as secretary of
the American embassy at Paris, was
born in New Orleans November 81,
1880. He taught school for several
years and engaged in newspaper
work for about four years. At the
outbreak of the Civil war he became
captain of regiment in the Confed-
crate army and was captured in New
Orleans. He went abroad as secre-
tary to the Mason and Slidell COM
mission to Europe and was secretary
of the Confederate diplomatic COM
mission in Paris in 1868 In 1869 he
became secretary of the Roumanian
legation in Paris, was connected in
1872 with the Alabama claims COM
mission and was a delegate from the
United States to the international
diplomatic metric conference In
1875 Mr.. Vignaud became the regu-.
larly commissioned secretary of the
American legation at Paris, after
which he was continuously secretary

Preserve the hex.

Spokane, Nov. 27.-Sportsmen in
Spokane and throughout the north
west will give W. R. Parker of Baker
City, Ore, every support in his eff
forts to secure state or federal pro-
lection for a herd of ibex on Mount
Eagle in Oregon. Parker advocates
the creation of a preserve on the
mountain so that the only known
band of ibeX on the continent may
be saved from slaughter. He has
hunted big game in eastern Oregon
for years and possesses wide knowl-
edge of the trails and canyons in the
mountains, and believes that since
the haunt of the herd is known to
others the animals ought to be pro-
tected to prevent extinction. When
he first announced the presence of
the band in the mountains some of
the veteran hunters asked for proof,
which was forthcoming by Parker
bringing out dead buck, doe and
fawn. Parker looks upon the ibex
as big asset in a sporting way
for the entire northwest.

MAN KILLED IN LOG
R0[LWAY
JOHN HORNY CRUSHED BY LOGS
AND BODY CARRIED INTO
RIVER AND LOST NEAR CHI
WAUkUM

Word was received here Wednes-
day that John Horny, in charge of a
logging camp on Mason creek, a few
miles from ChiWaukum, had been
crushed to death among the logs and
to watch the river for the body. The
information is very meager. For sew
eral years Mr.. Horny has had charge
of one of the mill company's logging
camps on Mason creek. 1t appears
that the company decided to take ad-
vantage of the high water stage in
the river and drive all the logs down
that were on the banks of the river
Mr.. Horny and gang of men were
engaged in this work when in som
way he was caught and dragged into
the river. The telegram giving the
Information stated that he was crush
ed by the logs before the body went
into the river. Mason creek empties
into the river some three miles above
Chiwaukum.
Mr.. Horny was a nephew OF Rich
ard Giblin and came from New York
state some four years ago. He was
about )" u 20 years of age. At the
time of going to press the body had
not been recovered and it is quite
possible that it may never be recov-
cred. The Wenatchee river and it's
tributaries do not always give up
their victims.
The incident is very much regret
ted. Mr.. Horny was highly respected
and regarded as an excellent man.

MINING CAMP
Continued from Page ~

1t is free milling and easy of treat
ment. 1t is said that the ledge can
be traced from the Squillchuck to
Canyon No l. Miners are also work
ing in this latter canyon and the
operations of the big mining COM
pany will likely give an impetus to
all mining operations in this section.
With the milling ore and the fire
clay west of the city it does not seem
improbable that a big payroll might
be maintained in this city in the near
future
Mr.. Leighton has been in confer
ence with the city officials relative to
securing about ten inches of the
Squillchuck flow to be used in his
mining operations 1t is likely that
this will be granted him providing
there is found to be sufficient water
for the city's needs.

PO|NDEXTER TELLS
Of PLANS
CONGRESSMAN SAYS HE WILL
WORK FOR RIVERS, HARBORS
AND ROADS - NOW IN Sc
ATTLE.

Seattle, Nov. 27.-Miles Poindex
ter, congressman from the Third
Washington district, spent Thanks
| giving day in Seattle. He expects tC
leave Spokane for the national capital
about December /.
Legislation for the improvement OF
rivers and harbors and public high.
ways will receive strong support from
him, he states, and he will introduce
bill providing for the conservation
of natural resources.
The question of river and harbor
improvements is one of vital inter
est" said Mr.. Poindexter at the But
Ter hotel yesterday afternoon. II
will introduce a bill providing for
the opening of the Columbia river by
dredging and blasting the rocks and
boulders which are at present a him
irance to navigation. The Columbia
at present is navigable from its
mouth to the Cello rapids, about rs
miles below Pasco. | would like to
see it made useful for navigation all
the way to Wenatchee. The details
of the bill and the appropriation that
will be asked will be determined af-
ter a further investigation. | hope
to see the Columbia ultimately i'm
proved by the construction of dams
and locks for still water navigation,
but that is a matter to be acted on
later. | believe the harbors should
be improved as we'll as the rivers,
and will support such legislation In
the past the government has followed
a parsimonious policy in making APP
preparations for the Inauguration of
project and then leaving that work
undone by, failure to make further
appropriation at the time needed. |
hope to see this condition remedied.
The improvement of public high
ways is another question I believe the
federal government should take an
interest in. Before the day of the
transcontinental railway we had a
national highway from Washington
to the west, but with the coming of
the overland trains interest was
lost in it. Today, however, there is
distinct need for better highways.
The railroads have solved the prob
lem of transcontinental transporta-
ton, but not the local I will intro
duce a bill for the appointment of a
commission of experts to collect data
with the ultimate aim that the gov
eminent take the lead in improved
highway building.
Conservation of natural resources
will be a question that congress will
have to deal with at the coming ses-
sion. Some measure should be pass
ed which would retain government
control and prevent the monopoly of
coal, timber and other natural re-
sources. Water power rights. espe-
ctally, should be regulated. as its in
creased necessity to the people for
light and power makes it a desirable
There is a present ten
dency in commerce to monopoIize
these resources. and generally speak
ing, this is not a bad tendency if
properly regulated. | expect to in
troduce a bill along these lines
Mr.. PolndeXter has reserved apart
ments at the Congress Hall hotel in
where he will live dur
ing the coming session.
