NJ 0. Leighton and A. c. Veatch, Of
the U. S. Geological Survey, arrived in
the city Saturday evening and departed
for Spokane Monday morning. They
entered Stevens county at Newport for
the purpose of examining power sites,
and followed the Pend Oreille to its
mouth, then the Columbia to Kettle
Falls. While here they droye out to
Crystal Falls on.the Hughes and Moth
erall homesteads, both of which had
been previously withdrawn, with the
object of making recommendation to
the government as to the control of the
power. They gave out no information
as to their recommendations but in
formed us that while Kettle Falls was
out of the reach of the government. a
small strip of land was found above the
falls, which was withdrawn. so that in
case dam should ever be constructed,
this piece of land would become flooded,
and in this way the government may get
a hold on the falls. A strip of land near
Metaline Falls was also withdrawn

Great Northern passenger train No. 3,
due at Newport at 5:27 Monday even
ing, was wrecked at Priest River at 5 IL.
The train does not stop at that station
and ran into an open switch at the east
end of the yards, crashing into string
of freight cars. The engineer of the
passenger had his shoulder injured, but
was able to take the train into Spokane
about two hours late after another en-
CINE had been secured. The main line
and passing track were blocked all night,
but trains were able to get by on the
industry track. Several passengers were
slightly injured by being thrown against
the seats by the sudden stop. The
wreck is blamed onto the crew of the
the eastbound local freight, which had
left the switch open.
The wrecking crew completed the
work of cleaning up Wednesday and the
remains of the wreck were in the New
port yards this morning. The passenger
train engine was we'll stripped IN front,
but no serious damage was done to it.
The front end of the baggage car was
slightly battered and FIVE freight cars
