ACCIDENT ON GREAT NORTHERN
Engineer and Fireman killed-NO Other
Fatalities-Both Men Lived in
LeaVenwOrth

Engineer Ed Goullette was killed Fri
day night in the railroad disaster near
Scenic Hot Springs, and Fireman Dali
man was injured so badly that he died
in the hospital at Everett Saturday.
The wreck occurred on the local, No.
Dc, which left Seattle at o'clock.
When a short distance east OF Scenic,
as the train was coming from under
the snow sheds at that place the en-
gine ran into log, which had fallen
across the track. The engine imme-
diately left the rails and plunged down
the bank, a distance of 200 feet, land
ing on the rocks up side down. The
baggage car followed and stood in an
upright position, but it did not become
uncoupled from the balance of the
train which remained on the track.
Except the fireman and engineer
there were no other fatalities or injuries,
though the passengers were badly
shaken up. The Oriental limited,
which left Seattle some two hours later
than the local, passed the wrecked
train after the latter had been backed
onto side track. Some hours delay
was the result of the accident.
For the. past eight years Mr.. Gou-
lette has resided in Leavenworth and
was preparing to remove to Seattle.
His wife and child were left there the
evening Of the accident and Goulette
wished to be relieved so that he might
remove his effects to Seattle. Short
age OF men made it necessary for him
to stay on his run.
The body was taken to Everett and
will be removed to California by Mrs.
Goulette for interment.
About two years ago MI. Goulette
almost lost his life on the line near
the place where this accident occurred.
At that time he was terribly marked
and scared about the head, neck and
face. Since then he has been sensitive
and inclined to be morose on account
OF his scars, honorable though they
were. He was good man; kind and
loving in his family, and respected by
all who knew him.
Mr.. Dallman also had lived in Leav-
enworth several years and was well
known as a steady and reliable young
man. He was unmarried.
This has been a singularly unfortu-
nate year for Great Northern engineers,
seven having been killed on this line
between Seattle and Wenatchee and
Seattle and British Columbia.

These bills were laid over to be 0
Kd: Hauling garbage, ordered by city
marshal, 81; Lamb-Davis Lumber Co.,
$11.50; George Keating, 1927.
The garbage bill was objected to by
E. A. King, on the ground that the city
is not liable. The person owning or
occupying the premises is required to
keep the same in sanitary condition.
Besides, the city is not in the business
Of hauling away rotten potatoes.
Several unhappy owners OF property
outside the city limits had inadvertently
paid municipal taxes wrongfully and
carelessly charged against them. They
want their money back. Mayor Nelson
explained he had asked the county
treasurer for a list of these unlucky
persons; but had not yet received it.
The attorney general of the state has
given an opinion once the tax collector
gets his clutches on money there is no
legal way to get it back again, except
by suit and judgment against the
county. After thrashing around in this
quagmire little time, it was decided
by the council to slough this response
bility on the county treasurer, to whom
all claimants will be referred. In the
meantime the city OF Leavenworth will
return these taxes to the county as
soon as the correct amount may be
determined.
City Treasurer Anderson's report
showed a balance on hand of IS $40.
On motion of Councilman Walden
berg F. S. Taylor was elected police
justice, E. A. King voting no.
Then the Whitman street improve
ment came up, and caused peck OF
trouble. The matter was whipsawed
back and forth between the two Kings
on one side and Councilman Walden
berg on the other, with Councilman
Wheeler as a buffer and Mayor Nelson
once in while pouring cruise of oil
upon the troubled waters. Into this
badgering Councilman Waldenberg in
terjected the original idea that if all
the councilmen were put into the cells
of the city Jail and kept there the bal
ance of their terms the city would be
better of.
1t was finally decided to push the
Whitman street work. A committee,
consisting of E. A. King and J. D.
Wheeler, was appointed, to report next
Tuesday night on the size and cost Of
culvert, and whether it would be
better to have it built by day labor or
by contract.
And the council melted away about
10 o'clock, to meet again next Tues
day evening.

opinion of Doan's Kidney Pills today
as when l gave public statement
some years ago, telling of my expert

of the kidney secretions. tried many
remedies and had doctors treatment,
but did not receive relief until | began

tirely non-combustible, and the vari-
GUS processes by which it is prepared
for use or market consist principally of
methods for Kidding it of water quickly
and cheaply and for increasing its fuel
efficiency and transportability.
The great peat deposits that are wide
ly scattered in the northern part of the
United States have at various times
aroused strong public interest. In the
winter of l9O2-19O3, for instance, when
the strike of the coal miners in the
anthracite region of Pennsylvania
brought the country to realize that it
was to large extent dependent on these
miners and their employers for an inn
portant part of it's fuel supply, num-
Der of writer's familiar with the condi-
tions in the countries of Northern Eu
rope called attention to the fact that
those countries, possessing a climate
much more severe than ours, were u.s.
ing great quantities Of peat for fuel,
while in this country, although the
material was abundant, it had only ex-
ceptionally been prepared for use, and
then in the crudest way. During the
next few months many experimental
and speculative plants were established
to convert peat into fuel, but unfortu-
nately many of these attempts were
financially unsuccessful, and as the
strike was soon over and coal could
again be had at reasonable prices and
very little peat fuel was put on the
market at any price, interest in peat
waned and at the present time the pub
lie is almost Indifferent to it. In the
few places where it can be purchased,
however, it finds ready sale and is
thoroughly satisfactory for all domestic
uses.
An interesting account of the nature,
origin and uses of peat appears in re-
port by E. s. Bastin and G. A. Davis
on the peat deposits of Maine, which
has just been published by the United
States Geological Survey as Bulletin
276. Copies of the bulletin may be OBJ

HOW IT LOOKS TO PINkVILLE.
A CORRESPONDENT PREDICTS GREAT
THINGS FOR THE vIRGINIAN
RAILWAY.

Pineville, w. Va.-When two rib
bons of blue steel traverses the blazed
trail of the surveyors and engineers
the Virginian coal field will make the
Norfolk & Western and the Chesa-
peake & Ohio outfits look like infant
industries struggling for an existen ce.
The enterprise is as yet in it's swad-
ding attire and ere it reaches the dress
suit stage of its career it will present a
front that will startle the industrial
world. The magnitude OF the posi-
bilities that present themselves for
absorption by the Virginian strains the
intellect and guides the imagination
into bewildering channels, and when
the things in sight are accomplished
this section will enjoy an era of pros
perity certainly unequalled in the an
nails of West Virginia industry. AS

his associates have grip, is underlaid

riety of soft coal-admitted to be the
finest yet discovered the Virgin
ian is going after it with bunch of
short lines and branches that will
reach every inch of it, and when the
field is thus covered the road will pos
sess mileage in this state double that
of the present. Three years from now
will see the locomotives in what are
now almost inaccessible mountain fast
nesses and coal tipples will decorate
hillsides where once wild beasts roam
ed as monarchs of all they surveyed.
There are something like million
acres of undeveloped ceal territory and
virgin timber lands to be tapped by
this new enterprise. The number of
branch lines to be built and operated
is yet question, but the casual OBJ
server figures on goodly number as
there are surveying parties doing duty
all over the territory, and of course
they are not climbing mountains and
wading rivers for their health.

SELLING NATURES BEAUTY.
IT Is DONE IN ENGLAND AS WELL AS
IN AMERICA.

IN AMERICA.
From the London Spectator.
think, after all, it seems clear thai
it was Southey who talked of the sub
lime and beautiful being carted away
as he saw the quarries a century ago al
their mischievous work in the Avon
Gorge. have this from an old friend
whose father, the most accurate of men,
always used to quote the words as a
saying of Southey's. "Selling the sub
lime and beautiful by the cartload, y
appears to have been the exact phrase.
Southey was born iu Bristol, where
his father had haberdasher's shop
sat the sign of the Hare" in Wine
street. As boy, l am sorry to say,
the young Southey used to grub up
roots of the bee orchis, which then grew
at the foot of the gully, and take them
to die Tin pots, l think at his aunt's
house in College Greed. As a man he
had strong affection for Bristol, and
in a curious letter written from Kes-
wick in 1927, he writes: 81 live in the
hopes of having steam carriage which
will enable me to transport myself and
family at reasonable cost. When this
is effected, which is likely to be in a
very few years ", we will mount the
vehicle some day when the water boils
and steer for my native city, which l
should like my children to see."
tits perhaps worth noting that Burke
also-to whom we owe the happy verbal
association of the beautiful and the sub
lime-knew the Avon gorge well, and
the recollections of his own enjoyment
Of the ''serene air" on our "lofty rocks"
and the sight of the gulls below ''that
skim the mud of your river when it is
exhausted of it's tide" supplied him
with famous passage in the speech he
made to the citizens of Bristol on the
declaration of the poll in 1774.
1t is perhaps right to add that cor
respondent has kindly called my atten-
tion to paragraph from Punch for
August 81, 1914, which speaks of the
authorities here ''selling their splendid
scenery at about twopence the hundred
weight" ssThe beauties of nature,u it
goes on, "are being rapidly carried
away to repair the roads, ravines are
being knocked down without reserve to
the highest bidder"
The "struggle between nature and
the town council" of which Punch
spoke more than sixty years ago, and
the destruction which Southey lament
ed even further back, still go on, and it
is truer than ever in our own day that
nature is ''getting decidedly the worst
of it." The Spectator has always cared
about the disappearance of things beau
tiful, and its readers who know any
thing of the sublimity of our river seen
cry here will be aware that its destruc-
tion is matter of national, and not
merely local, concern.

Peat as + uel.

Peat is partly decomposed vegetable
matter that has Termed either where
the ground is saturated with water
most of the time or where it is perma-
nently covered with water. 1t is the
dark-colored or nearly black soil found
in bogs and swamps, commonly known
as muck, although technically a dis
tinction is made between peat and
muck, the latter name being restricted
to those forms of swamp deposits that
contain too much mineral matter to
burn freely. Dry peat may be very
fibrous and light-colored or compact
and structureless and dark brown or
black. 1t is usually somewhat lighter
in color when dry than when freshly
dug. When wet it contains, as rule,
from 80 TO 80 per cent. or more of water;
that is, short ton of wet peat rarely
contains more than 800 pounds of dry
peat, and may yield as little as 100
pounds. In the wet condition it is en-

THE HUMAN THROAT.
1T HAS SORT OF LITTLE BRAIN THAT
CONTROLS ITS ACTIONS.

1T HAS A SORT OF LITTLE BRAIN THAT
CONTROLS ITS ACTIONS.
Did you know that the throat has a
brain Of it own Few people are aware
of it, but it's a.fact. There is small
gangila which exercises direct control
of the muscles of the throat and acts as
its brain. OF course 1t is subservient to
the genuine brain, but at the same
time does good deal of independent
thinking for itself. 1t is very timid
and suspicious of any strange objects
that come near the throat.
For this reason it is very difficult for
a physician to operate on the throat.
Before anything can be done in this di-
rection it is necessary for the operator
to gain the confidence OF, the little brain
that dominates it. 1t frequently takes
weeks before this confidence can be Sc
cured, and until it is secured it is i'm
possible to perform an operation.
Woe to the man who attempts rough
treatment to the throat before gaining
the little brains confidence. His oper-
atoms will be resented with violent
paroxysms, first of the throat, then of
the diaphragm, and, if the operator
still persists, the patient will be thrown
into convulsiens. Still more curious is
the fact that this little brain has
memory, and if once frightened in this
way it is almost impossible to ever gain
its confidence, no matter how gentle
the operator may be.
