VICTORY FOR DEaA|L SWITCH
Car Would Have Collided With Train
On Northwestern Road Had it Not
Been Thrown Into the Ditch by
Towerman.

The wreck on the chicago and MIL
waukee Electric Railway near the
Prairie avenue crossing on Tuesday aft
ernoon was an interesting one to the
officials Of the company as It gave them
a chance to study the workings OF a
derailing switch as preventative OF
serious accidents. The passengers on
board the car which went into the ditch
had a gamble with death but they did
not know that the game was on until
after they had won The car was de-
liberately thrown into the ditch to pre-
vent a collision with train on the
western division of the Chicago and
Northwestern Railway.
The blame for the accident has not
as yet been placed and number of the
leading officials Of the Chicago and
Milwaukee came to Kenosha late Tues
day afternoon to investigate the acct
dent and attempt to fix the blame.
The car was in charge Of n. J. Berg,
motorman and George Bernard, con-
ductor, both Milwaukee men. The mot
orman claims that the block signal was
not against him but the officials of the
company claim that the fact that the
car went into the ditch is the best evil
dence that the switch which works au-
tomaticallv was against the car. It
was learned that the car was running
at a rate of from 80 to 40 miles an
hour and under the conditions it seems
4 rather remarkable that some one was
not seriously if not fataSsT injured
i One Of the main officials of the com
pany in speaking of the wreck on Tues
day evening said, The wreck was just
what would be expected under the cir
cumstances and we were fortunate to
get off without any one being seriously
injured. The switch at Prairie avenue
was put in to take care of just such
cases as this We believe that there is
less chance of people being injured by
throwing car into the ditch than in
letting it collide with car on another
track. This possibility would never
have to be met If we could guard
against mistakes by employees but the
derailing switch minimizes as much as
possible the danger from such mis-
take. We have not been able to dis
cover whether or not the switch was
1 closed~in time to allow the motorma1
tain that the block was against hin
and when he ran through the sigma
there was no other possible course
/. than to 90 into the ditch. The accident
was a peculiarly fortunate one for us
as no one was injured sufficiently tt
warrant us taking the names of the
passengers.
The wrecking crew Of the compa y
came up from Highwood within III
hour after the wreck and while Tie ca
seemed to be badly damaged it was de
clared that the financial loss to til,
company would not exceed So. rh.
: arrangements of the other switches OF
the tracks between Kenosha and Ra
cine was such that traffic on the roat
was not delayed for more than tel
minutes.
The general investigation of tn,
wreck is being taken up at the com
pany's office at Hlghwood this after
noon and all the men connected will
the accident were called to Highwoo,
to tell their stores

ONLY ONE REDUCTION FOUND
incorporated Companies of the City
Show Willingness to Return More
Property for Taxation This Year and
Assessment RiseA

The final meeting Of the Board OF
Review was held on Monday and the
three city assessors are now busy max
ing out their final reports of the assess
ment. 1t MS expected that it will be
another week before the final figures
on the valuation can be given out but
it is certain that the figures will show
a large increase in both the personal
and real estate assessments. The fig
ures on personal property are always
interesting and this class of property
will show big increase this year. Only
one of the incorporated companies IN
the city has reduced personal assess
ment and that is the Chicago Kenosha
Hosiery Company. The amount OF
this reduction is very small and it has
been brought%about by q reduction OF
the stock of the company. All the
other companies show an increase in
the personal assessment or the figures
are IStuIuCu dU IhG 0dL1O lholh oo ht90
year. The increase in the assessment
of real estate belonging to the incor-
porated companies in the city is de-
cidedly large and this added to the big
increase in the personal property may
possibly bring the total valuation of
the city up to the $19,000,000 mark.
It is certain that it will not reach
twenty millions as had been sought by
the finance committee of the common
council.
Not only has there been an advance
in the amount assessed against corpor-
ations but there has been an unusually
large increase in the residence property
assessments. The assessments of build
ings which were returned last year has
been left at practically the same fig
ures, but the large growth in the mum
Der of buildings has made possible q
large increase in the amount assessed
as improvements. +" The figures for
the personal assessment of the incor
porated companies in the city are given
out by the assessors as follows:

HOPE DIAMOND is PART
OF FAMOUS BLUE GEM

Paris.-Another story of the origin
of the famous Hope diamond is told
in the Eclair by M Aucoe, a we'll
known jewelry expert.
The Hope diamond is only piece
of the famous Blue Diamond, which
was brought to Europe by Travenier.
Louis XVI. purchased 1t, and 1t was
placed among the Crown jewels, from
which it was stolen in 1892, all trace
of it being lost for long time.
The Diamond Bleu was Of pear
shape, and rather irregular, and when
it was discovered it was found to
have been cut in two. One piece found
it's way into the collection of the Duke
of Brunswick, and was disposed of at
Geneva. The other piece was bought
by Mr.. Hope about the year 1880. At
the death Of Mr., Hope it was pur-
chased by a merchant, who sold it to
an American jeweler, who took it to
New York.
AS the jewelers. business did not
prosper, the Blue diamond was
brought back to Paris and his repre-
sentatives sold it to ~. Habib. who
subsequently placed it in his collec-
ton. which was put up at auction in
the Sale des Ventes in Paris.

AMERICAN DISCOVERS
LATEST IN PAINTING

Paris.-James Hazen Hyde, the
most fashionable American in Paris,
whose hosiery always matches his
shirts and whose ties harmonize with
his eyes, has discovered a new school
of painting. 1t is an absolute reac-
ton from realism. The principle is
to produce the greatest effect with
the smallest amount of paints. On
some parts of the canvas there is said
to be no paint whatever.
The most successful exponent of the
school is Madame Corras, who halls
from the town of Mentone, in the
south of France. Her pictures are all
marine, many of them painted at
night in which the sea is shown moan
ing and surging and striving after
the moon. Hyde has been seen hover
ing around the exhibition rooms where
these paintings are on view every
day. Recently he encountered the
venerable painter, Harpignles, now in
his ninety-second year. He agreed
with Hyde that the paintings of Mad
anne Corras ushered in a new school
Of painting.
Hundreds of models and young So
ciety girls flock to this exhibition to
study the effect of the moon upon
the surging waters.

TWOHY BROS. GET
MORE MACHINERY
SECOND BIG STEAM
SHOVEL REACHES CITY
Contractors Are Rushing Work on o.

The second big steam shovel to be
used by Twohy Brothers in rebuild
ing the o. R. & n. between this city
and Yoakum, arrived last night from
Portland and was taken to the scene
of activity today One of the big
dirt digging machines has been en-
gagged for several days in the task of
changing the channel Of the river. just
below the Pilot Rock junction.
Still another machine is due to ar
rive in a day or two. This is that
used by the government in construct
ing the big reservoir and dam on the
Umatilla project. The Twohy broth
ers have purchased the entire equip
ment of the government, with the ex-
ception of the steam shovel and it is
now being rushed to this point. The
equipment consists of the steam SHOW
el, and the construction trains. Other
dump cars and dinky engines are ar
riving almost daily from the east and
the work is getting into full swing
In the absence of any regular tele-
phone communication with Pendleton
from that section of the country
Twohy Brothers have erected a line
of their own which is now in opera
ton. 1t is probable that with the
termination of the contract that this
line will be turned over to the far
mers living along the river. Some of
these have been trying for several
years to get telephone communica-
tion with Pendleton, but owing to
