BLAMES MoTORMAN
In Recent Spokane Wreck and Also
Criticises Railway Company for
Not Enforcing Rules.

Occur d 'Alene.-FTh said collision
was caused by the running of the spe-
cial motor No. 5 out of the Occur
d 'Alene yards without orders on the
time of the regular train No 20 from
Spokane, by the failure of the con-
duetor and motorman on said No. 5 to
register out as required by the rules,
and by the failure of the company to
stop the practice of allowing the con
ductor to register for the motorman,
and in not requiring the brakeman to
be informed of the contents of the or
ders. -
That was the verdict of the coroner s
jury, after celebrating upon the evil
dence adduced before it with relation
to the collision which occurred near
La Crosse, on the Occur d'Alene &
Spokane electric railroad.

Lines of Communication.
More than 100000 miles of single
wire are used by the people of the
United States in communicating with
each other over the various telephone
and telegraph systems. OF this number,
12,999,369 miles are operated by the
telephone systems and 2,O72,951 miles
by the telegraph companies. This length
of single wire would encircle the earth
at the equator more than 600 times.

A metal box containing the ashes of
the body of Mrs. Rosa Peyton was sunk
