IS
KILLED At
TUNNEL
Caboose in Which He Was
Riding Was Telescoped
by Big Mogul.

Conductor Harmon, in charge of
an east-bound freight, engine No.
1859, was killed at the Cascade tun-
mel about midnight last night.
Details of the accident are not OBJ
tainable in this city today, but as
far as can be learned the freight
train was being propelled through
the tunnel by an electric engine with
a big mogul at the rear of the train.
The electric engine for some reason
died The mogul kept pushing
and forced it's way through the ca
boose in which the conductor was
riding.
Conductor Harmon was the only
occupant of the caboOse and in the
telescoping of this by the engine
he was killed.
Information from Leavenworth
this forenoon was to the effect that
this was the only death, but the ru-
NOR was current here this morning
that several others had been killed
in the accident.
Conductor lannon's home is in
Everett, where he has a wife and
two children living. He is well
known among railroad men in this
city and was popular with his fellow
employees.

KILLED BY
LIVE WIRE
Man Lost His Life at the
Cascade Tunnel Yes
terday.

An Italian about IS years of age
lost his life at the east portal of the
Cascade tunnel yesterday. Taking
a piece of wire he went to the cable
which is used for conducting power
from the plant of Tumwater Canyon
to the tunnel. This cable carries a
current of $4,000 volts. In attempt
ing to draw sparks from the wire
the man was stricken dead 1t is
believed that the young Italian had
seen other persons toss a piece of
wire across the heavily charged wire
and connect it with the ground, but
he evidently did not realize that the
other persons always let loose of the
wire before it struck the main line
AT the instant that the wire touch
ed the cable the man was killed.

Montana Deaths.
Another death was reported from
Montana, making the known total
for that state two. The rangers
missing in the Thompson Falls coun-
try is Montana were not heard from
today, so far as known here.
The number of deaths in the state
of Washington was reduced to three,
all in the Pend d'Oreille valley, near
Newport. One of these victims, Mrs.
Ernest Deinhardt, wife of a ranch
er, was the only woman known to
have burned to death in any of the
fires.
:. Fire Fighters Die.
Nearly all the dead were fire
fighters. The wholesale loss Of life
occurred Saturday afternoon and
night, when great bodies of men
were striving to check the flames in
order to save the various towns that
were threatened. The names of
many of the dead will never be
known. The rangers employed all
the able-bodied men they could i'm

fitable manner as looking at these
exhibits. They carry away literature
and the results are gratifying.
In Chicago the exhibit is main
tanned in the city ticket office To-
Gated at 220 South Clarke street, the
very heart of the city. The exhibit
is AZ feet long and 10 feet high. II
consists of Washington and Montana
products. Most of the fruit is pro-
cessed.
In st. Louis the exhibit is also
maintained in the city ticket office,
located in the heart of the city. 1t
is 80 feet long and 10 feet high. The
crowds which continuously fill the
Chicago and ST. Louis offices on &C.

Special Exhibits.
The exhibit car has been sent east
on special trip for the purpose OF
being present at two expositions, one
at Pittsburg from August p to Oc-
tober %. This is held in the West
ern Pennsylvania Exposition building
at Pittsburg The other is at Column
bus, Ohio, September 5 to 10. By
the courtesy of the Big Four railroad
the exhibit car will be placed near
the main entrance of the grounds
This is one of the largest state fairs
in existence. Mr.. Leedy and Mr.. Ora
ham were highly delighted to secure
such a favorable location. While on
this trip the exhibit car will also
stop for a day at several county fairs
en- route.
Returning west the exhibit cal
will be filled up with fresh fruit and
entirely re-arranged. 1t will then
proceed on a long tour consuming
all of the winter and spring to the
middle of next summer. 1t will be
used in connection with special eX.
hibits. Among the most prominent
is the big land congress to be held
in st. Louis the latter part of De-
cember. In late January a special
exhibit will be made at the National
Corn Show at Columbus, Ohio. This
is held at the state fair grounds, but
the railroad company will rent g

tensive exhibit.
The Illinois state fair in Spring
field will receive a large exhibit OF
products from the Great Northern
and one of the principal displays viii
be made at the great Minnesota state
fair held at Hamlin, midway between
Minneapolis and st. Paul, September

NEW ARMORY NEEDED FOR
DISTRICT.

The District militiamen have been
working under conditions which would
discourage a less enthusiastic lot OF
men. They have been compelled 10 use
quarters which are totally inadequate
Company quarters are too small TO ae-
eommodate a full company; the rooms
are dark and UBattractive-
The miIitiamen now desire a new
armory. The District National Guard
probably has poorer quarters than any
similar organization in the United
States. During the winter months the
men are required to spend many hours
drilling. Good discipline Is certain
to get the men around to these drills.
just as a man in the regular army viii
attend drills.
The militiamen, however, are en-
titled to some consideration Army Of
ficials know of the necessity of far
nishing the enlisted men with attrac-
tive quarters. The same necessity
exists IN the volunteer militia to a
greater extent. In most Of the States
the militiamen are provided with quar-
ters which not only make 1t possible
TO drill under the best possible con
ditions, but which also are sufficiently
attractive to draw the men together
on other occasions than those set for
regimental work
The commanding officers Of the local
militia are authority for the statement
Center Market Armory Is too small,
too dingy, and in every way so un-
attractive that it has bad effect on
the volunteer troops.
The proper solution Of the situation
would seem to be the erection of an
armory sufficiently large TO take care
Of every branch of the District militia,
10 provide each company with separate
quarters IN the building, and IN gen
eral TO offer some inducement TO the
young men Of the District besides drills
at regular intervals.
We anticipate that General Harries
wiz nave no difficulty in demon
strating 10 Congress the need for such
a building. Authorization for its con
struction should be given at this ses-
sion There can be little doubt that
If new armOry Is erected the officers
VIII have no difficulty in keeping their
ranks recruited up TO their full

THE MARTIANS AND THEIR
CANALS AGAIN.

Prof Percival Lowell, in his
efforts to establish satisfactory scien-
tifc evidence that Mars Is in
habited by highly intelligent beings,
has on his side the fact that the
imagination of the human race in
stiDctiveIy leads It toward acceptance
Of the view which the astronomer Is
putting forward We are a sociable
lot, We human atoms, and have come
70 realize the lonesomeness Of having

bit staggered at the possibilities Of

scheme of creation. Expansionists.
yes; but really, its a rather large
contract, this of attempting all by our
selves TO annex the rest of cosmos. 1t
Is good to think that Mars is peopIed,
and by a race from which 1t is highly
probable we can learn a good deal.
This new canal which Prof Lowell
has discovered, would appear to be a
tremendous engineering work; and sc-
.coTding to his observations It has been
built in a, 10 US, incredibly short time
The Panama canal has kept some OF
the best energies Of our own enter

we can avoid that. There ought to be
brains enough in America to give out

and coaches can do it. We want a

One of the present dangers Is that
the extreme radicals may get into
deadlock with the extreme conserva-
tives, and in such an event the out
come might be disappointing to the
many who would like to see some
genuine progress made along the lines
suggested a short time ago by con
siderate friends OF the game. At the
Syracuse meeting, according TO the
dean, "there were men who didn't
know football from tenpins,0 and. Of
course, they were the men who told
all about the faults of the game"
and made proposals regarding the best
way to mend it. But these captious
critics didn't prevail at Syracuse, and
they shouldn't prevail anywhere else.
