BY the breaking of f1ange on a
car wheel of extra freight train No.
1902, on the Delaware Divisionof the
Pennsylvania railroad just north of
Seaford, Del, at o'clock Saturday
night. a serious wreck occurred.
Seven cars in the centre of the train
were derailed and were badly damag-
ed, along with others. Fortunately
none of the train crew was near the
centre of the train where the cars
left the rails, and they all escaped
injury. The train was in charge of
Conductor ]. r. Carlise and Engineer
Charles KohlbecKer, both of Whining
ton. The wreck delayed traffic for
several hours. Southbound passeger
train No. Al, was held up by the dis
aster. 1t was necessary to transfer
the passengers and the baggage to
another train below the wreck. The
train was running at the rate of 25
miles an hour when the accident ocur.
red. The railroad has but a single
track at that point. The roadbed was
considerably damaged.
Smyrna times., 1909-11-17

Last Monday afternoon Jimtown
crossing was the scene of another
wreck, but fortunately no one was
injured. This time, as before, it was
a rear end collision, through
freight crashing into the rear of what
is known as the Harrington extra,
which carries the way freight be-
tween Clayton and Harrington. The
approaching tran was signalled to
stop and answered the signal, but on
account of the track being damp from
the fog and slippery, the air brakes
could not hold the train and it crash
ed into the caboose of the extra,
crushing it and also the pilot from
the approaching engine. 1t was only
the work of a short time for the
Clayton wrecking crew to clear the
track of all the debris and the dam
age will not be heavy.

A most happy event was the marriage
of Smith S. Crenshaw to Gertrude
Moore, which took place on Tuesday

of the Bridal March" from Lohengrin.
A wedding supper wins served immedi-
ately after the ceremony, and thereupon
the young couple left for the coast.
Upon their return they will reside at
Boville, Idaho, where Mr.. Crenshaw,
who is by profession civil engineer and
is district engineer for the Milwaukee

cipients of many beautiful tokens of the

Force Local Option Issue

At a meeting of local option workers
of the county, called by the Colville
club and held in that city last Saturday,
it was decided to petition for an election
on the question of local option in this
county, the election to be held the first
Tuesday in September. A similar move
ment is planned all over Eastern Wash
ington and a strenuous attempt will be
made to vote this part of the state "dry"
under the new local option law.
Colville has had an active local option
club for the several months, and it is at
that place that the planning of the cam
paign will be done. All fourth-class
towns are units under the law. which
means that the vote of the rest of the
county will not affect any OF the towns.
1t is quite likely'under the law that sa-
looms would be wiped out except in the
incorporated towns.
As yet no organized effort is being
being made under the Idaho law to dry
up Bonner county, but Kootenai and
several other Idaho counties will soon
have to face the issue.

the usual sports of the day and two un-
usual features, the log rolling contest
and the motor boat race. The raising
OF the big flag pole, the biggest cedar
pole ever secured in the state, will also
be OF interest to all. 1t is planned to
have all arrangements for the hosting
OF the pole completed beforehand so
that the final work of puttingit in place
will take but short time.
For the fireworks display in the even
Ing one of the choicest assortments of
set pieces together with the usual roc
kets, balloons, ETC., has been secured.
The display will be made from the
crest of Silver Birch hill which will give
a fine view to all.

railroad lines have been secured, also

time of which will be announced later.

BIG MILL WILL SOON RUN
Fidelity Plant Across the River
Nearing Completion.
Mil is Modern in Every Detail

By July 10 the Lig mill Of the Fidelity
Lumber Co., across the river from New
port, will be in operation unless some
unforeseen obstacle prevents. The work
Of getting it ready is being rushed as
rapidly as possible, as the company is
anxious to get to work at the logs in the
BIG boom. About fifteen million feet of
logs are now in the big boom, and an
other drive later in the season will bring
down four million more. A large part
Of the logs are white pine, for which
there is always an active demand, even
when demand for other kinds of lumber
Is slack.
Two shifts will be worked as soon as
the mill can be gotten in operation and
employment will be furnished for about
$50 men. A number of the higher priced
employees are already lined up and
awaiting the completion of the mill, and
there are many applications on hand
for places in the new plant.
The big stack, 147 feet high and 92
inches in diameter, is in place towering
above the plant. The battery of five
boilers, Is inches by IS feet, which will
develop in the neighborhood of 1000
horsepower, are also in place They
will be enclosed in brick building 46x
3l feet, with an engine room adjoining
46x46 feet, also to be of brick. The
boiler plant is said to be the first of it's
kind in the northwest, and like every
thing else about the plant is of the very
latest and best design. One big engine
with a 12-foot fywheel is already in
place. Another big Corliss engine with
a l6-foot tlYwheel will soon arrive, which
will drive a 350-kilowatt generator,
which will furnish the power for the
planning mill. Work on the building of
the planer will soon be started. All the
machinery of the planer will be driven
by direct connected motors.
Fo fire protection fire house has been
built out into the river. There is 12-
inch intake pipe and the pump and en-
CINE Will have a capacity of discharging
1000 gallons per minute through an
S-inch pipe.

Drowned at Usk

Booze and the Pend Oreile claimed
victim at Usk Tuesday. While the
Steamer Spokane was landing on the
down trip, Fred Campbell, a laborer,
fell from the upper deck, into the river.
He was in badly intoxicated condition
and unable to make anv effort to save
himself. A boat was put out as soon as
possible but friend of Campbell's who
was also drunk, jumped into the boat
and nearly upset it, an oar was lost and
Campbell went down to rise no more
before he could be reached An almost
empty whiskey flash foated to the sur
face to show where he had gone down.
The body was recovered late in the
afternoon and brought to Newport on
Wednesday noon's boat. 1t now lies at
Miller's undertaking parlors while an
effort is reing made to locate friends of
the unfortunate laborer. Campbell was
about 80 years old and a fine looking
man. He was dressed in rough clothes
and there were no papers found on him,
nor any money. An emblem of the
Catholic Order of Foresters on his coat
indicates that he belonged to that order
and an effort is being made to locate his
friends through the order.
Thomas McAvinn has been granted
license to operate saloon in the new
