The Outlook For Ship subsidy.

Will the ship subsidy bill pass con.
gress? In my own opinion It viii not,
and for these reasons: First and most
potent, there 10 a deficit In the treas
ury, and the universal cry In congress
and out Of 1t is for economy. A sub
sidy costs money. and the opponents
Of it will urge that this is the worst
possible time to put forward such a
measure. Moreover, it is practically
assured that the insurgents and Demo-
Gratis will vote against q subsidy bill
almost to a man. The Democrats al
ways have done so. and Minority Lead
er Champ Clark. has stated publicly
that they will fight 1t again. When
the insurgents recently assured the
president that they would support four
Of his main policies they failed to say
anything about the federal incorpora-
ton bill and ship subsidies. Under
the circumstances the omission was
significant. The third reason is that
the regulars will not support a subsidy
bill heartily. A congressional election
is coming on. and at least a part Of the
members are scared. Whatever the
merits Of the subsidy. it is not popular
with the people. Will these members
who are already frightened be likely
to load up with anything more Of that
nature? Under these circumstances
the passage of a ship subsidy bill at
this session would seem well nigh i'm
possible.
Nevertheless there is a strong patri.
otto argument for the measure. Ad-
miral Sperry after the %battleship cruise
around the world said he never saw
the American flag at sea-. Elihu Root
on his return form South America
made the same humiliating admission.
The argument is that other nations
vote ship subsidies and we cannot
hope to compete with them unless we
do the same. President Taft is de-
termined to pass the measure and may
do it ultimately, but hardly at this
session. j. A. EDGERTON.

Uncle Sam Not a Press Agent.
The secretary of agriculture publicly
disavows statements used by pro-
motors of land sales and attributed to
experts Of the forest service. Circu-
lars sent out by the forestry bureau
have been misquoted for advertising
purposes. An instance is cited by the
secretary where statements regarding
the cultivation Of the eucalyptus tree
in California were printed as having
the stamp Of the government, whereas
they had never been printed in any of
the forest service publications and
were not considered true by govern
ment experts.
The forest service has sins enough
to answer for without being made a
catspaw for spectators. With regard
to eucalyptus culture. the government
experts candidly say that there r un-
certainties connected with 1t which
growers must take into account. They
recognize a promise Of considerable
success in the culture Of this tree in
California. but have not authorized es-
Inmates Of profit and Of growth. Sec
rotary Wilson declares that he does
not intend to allow the name Of his
HtO IN used as a means of
victimizing the public" and in future
unauthorized statements attributed to
the forest service will be promptly re-
undated.

back up to Judith Gap with the
caboose, and when he reached Oxford
to take the siding to let No. A, the
Kansas City-Seattle passenger, pass,
which was running seven hours late.
Chappell's engine ran INTO a snow
drift mile and half east of Oxford,

he used every effort to give it warn

burning in the storm, and it was
worth mans life to face the blizzard
for any length of time.
He and his engineer and fireman
started forward to place torpedoes on
the track. He says he thought he
was far enough from the frozen EN-
glne to give the passenger sufficient
warning to stop, but results show he
miscalculated his distance. He says
he and the engineer were backing up
the track, placing torpedoes on the
rail as they went, when he looked
behind him and saw the passenger
engine right on them. He grabbed
the engineer by his side and pulled
him off in the nick Of time, when No.

an hour. Engineer Potts of the pas
senger, whistled after striking the
first torpedo, and when the second
one exploded, put Oh the emergency
brakes, but the collision occurred al
most Immediately, showing that the
torpedoes had not been placed far
enough away from the dead engine to
give sufficient warning to the onrush-
ing PASSENGER.
The big locomotive struck the ten
der of the dead engine demolishing the
tender, but the impact started the
dead engine and caboose down the
grade and they travelled about three
miles before being stopped by another
snow drift. The passenger locomo-
tive was thrown about 25 feet from
the track and turned turtle, killing
the fireman instantly. Engineer
Potts escape was miraculous, as he
crawled out of the cab after the Ell
CINE was in the ditch. The tender Of
the passenger engine telescoped the
mail car, instantly killing the mail
clerk. None of the Gears left the
track. The mail car caught fire and
all the contents were consumed, the
clerk being cremated. The baggage
and express car, the smoker and the
day coach soon followed in the path
of the flames, but the express and
baggage were gotten out and saved.
To avoid conflicting with the l6-hour
law, the entire crew on No. "A was
changed at Judith Gap. A freight
crew, consisting of Carl O'Neill, con-
ductor; Charley Steele and Leo .)or-
dan, brakeman, Fred Potts, engineer.
and II. E. Sayles, fireman took charge
of the train. Their orders were for Il
clear track, and to make up time if
possible. Engineer Potts says he
pulled out of the Gap at a good rate
of speed as lie thought there would be
drift about the yard limits. The
drift was there, but the rate at which
he was going broke it without mucl
of a jar to the train. No other drifts
were encountered, and there being NJ
passengers for Oxford he kept up tht
25-mile-an-hour clip to break the drift
that he was sure was at the curve
where the accident occurred. lii
testified at the coroner's jury that h'
whistled when the first torpedo wa'
struck and put OH the emergenc'
brakes when the second one exploded
but the collision and the air was al
most instantaneous. The acciden
occurred about 1910 p. M, but it WA
midnight before anyone could reac
Oxford to call for help. A relic
train was ordered from Judith Ga
with DIR. Mccullough, but it wa
nearly six O'Clock by the time til
engines could be taken out of tn
round house and the snow shOvele
off the sidings to reach the mai
track. A number of Judith Gap ci
liens went down on the relief trai
and the scene that met them at IL

ly. The passengers expected that the
whole train would be burned and
they were making preparations to
walk to Oxford, mile and a half
away and facing the storm. They
had their feet and legs wrapped in
clothes and had blankets around their
heads. The JOY Of these people when
they saw the relief train can be imag-
ined. The tourist, diner and pullman .
were detached and pulled out of the
range Of the fire, and the relief crew
did everything possible to relieve the
suffering of the injured and save as
much property as could be recovered
from the wreck. OF the dead, Fire
man Sayles, whose wife and five little
children live in Judith Gap, was the
only one whose body was recovered.
The remains were taken to Judith
Gap when the relief train returned
here about O'Clock, and a coroner's
jury was summoned by acting COrOn-
er Balm, who began taking testimony
on the cause of the accident. The
jury adjourned Saturday evening to
meet again Monday morning. Sayle's
body was placed in the waiting room
of the depot and Nurse Roberts pre-
pared it for burial. 1t is understood
it will be shipped to his old home in
Minnesota for burial. When Sayles
was called to make the trip that night
he remarked to his wife that it would
be his last one. The remark SO wor-
ried Mrs. Sayles that she did not
sleep any that night and when officials
notified her of her husbands death
she went into Mysteries.
The wrecking crew arrived from
Great Falls about O'Clock Saturday
morning and went to the scene of the
wreck about noon. Work was car
ried on all afternoon and night and it
| was Sunday noon before the track
was put in shape for traffic. No. 43
went via Helena Saturday and Sun
day, but No. Al went through Sunday
about four hours late.
