PLUNGES THROUGH TRESTLE
Prompt Application of Emergency

Following. - First Wreck of
"Special"

Special"
Fireman Luther w. Bennett, white,
of Columbia, was crushed to death
to-day in the first wreck that has
befallen the Southern Railways
Cincinnati-Charlesto flyer, the
Carolina Special" since that train
was established about six months
ago.
The wreck, occurred at 445
O'Clock, just when the train was due
here, both locomotives plunging in
TO the ravine, where $50 feet of a
frame trestle had been burned
away, at Sueville, an industrial sid
ing four miles north of Alston and
twenty-four miles north of Colum-
bia. Nobody except Fireman Ben
nett was hurt. The passengers
were not even Jared.
Relief Train Sent.
A relief train sent from Colum-
.bia, returned at 9.15 tonight with
the passengers and baggage, and
departed shortly afterward for
Charleston. The bridge will like
ly be replaced by noon tomorrow.
Meanwhile, traffic is being detoured
by way of Charlotte.
The train was crowded, large
number of the passengers being
Columbia and Charleston business
men returning from a Sunday visit
TO their families sojourning in the
mountains of Western North Car

Fireman Benefits body was
brought here on the relief train

well street where his wife and
babies were awaiting him.
Both Engineers Escape.
Engineer DeLand G. McAllister,
of No. 1917 Blandir~ street, driv-
ing the head engine, No. 1919 saw
the gap in time to apply the emer-
gency brakes and jump to safety,
with his colored fireman, Hal Rob
ertson, but not in time to warn the
crew of the second engine.
McAllister'S locomotive plunged
into the rayine and turned upside
down, and Locomotive 1OO6 also
toppled over the brink Engineer
william H. Green, somehow, es-
capped injury, but Fireman Bennett
was instantly crushed to death
The train was in charge of Conduc-
tor James F. Weaver, of No. 1920
Gregg street. Engineer Green
lives at 1880 Henderson street.
Baggage Car Ablaze.
Prompt application of the emer-
gency brakes so checked the mo-
mentum of the train without in
injurying any of the passengers
that the coaches were barely NOV
ing when they reached the trestle.
The forward end of the baggage
car, however, projecting over the
brink, took fire from the blazing
timberS and so endangered the rest
of the train that it seemed likely
nothing would do but to push it
into the gulch, on top of the
wrecked locomotives, but the flames
were put out eventually by the Ia
bors of a bucket chain, formed by
members of the crew and volunteers
from among the passengers.
In the list of workers were:
Sydney o. Izlar, of Charleston; /;
Travelling Passenger Agent Jenkins,
of Augusta, and several Columbi-
ans, including r. B. Cooper. whole
sale provision dealer; R. ]. Blalock,
city councilman, and Charles H.
Barron, lawyer.
Fireman Bennett is survived by
his wife, the daughter of Hiram b.
Mitchell, recording clerk in the OIL
flee of the Secretary of State, and
by several children.

blue heron, a bird that is now almost ex-
tinct The only great blue heron known
to- exist now are the few that came to
Lake Manawa once a year. Every year
this flock of rare birds grows smaller and
smaller and within a few years this bird
will be known only by the specimens that
have been preserved.
Next to the great buffalo head one of
the most attractive features of the exhibit
is the mammoth Canadian moose head
Then there are six monster golden eagles
from the Rocky mountain regions. Every
nook and corner of North America has
been searched for specimens for this ex>
hiblt, and It is well worth seeing

portion Of Okanogsn county on the east
slope Of the Cascade range. The valley
proper is about fifty miles long and varies
Ia width from a few hundred feet to two
miles and contains approximately 1000
acres OF irrigable lands
Twenty years ago homesteaders secured
all the valley lands and. until the compile
ton OF the Methow Canal company's canal
have made stock raising the principal in
dustry number Of these early settlers
were able to irrigate small tracts OF the
land lying close to the Methow river
through private bitches. ON these tracts
they have grown alfalfa (cutting three or
four crops each season.. cereals, vese-
tables and fruits. Small family orchards
were planted and practically everything in

Great Falls Has
Extensive Exhibit
at the Land Show
Booth that Tells the Story of the De-
velopment Of Rich, New
Country.

Great Falls Mont Is we'll represented at
the Land Show with big exhibit OF min
erals and other things that tell the story
the resources Of that city. The display is
in charge OF T.. W. Pettibone. representing
the Great Falls Board Of Commerce.
Though there are paying deposits Of gold,
silver copper, coal lead zinc and other
minerals in and around Great Falls, Mr..
Pettibone lays great stress on the water
power advantages OF the city and he has
large collection OF photographs to
strengthen his arguments to the many in
dulrers at the Great Falls booth.
Regarding water power Mr. Pettbone
says: I'VE are now developing 5000
horsepower and have the force in the Mis-
souri, river to develop $4,000 horsepower.
In five miles OF the Missouri rivers sweep
around the city is the greatest available
water power on the continent, the river
falling 526 feet in that distance the ag-
gregate fall being in precipitable cascades
and rapids. The Black Eagle falls has a
height OF forty-one feet, and Rainbow
falls Of forty-seven feet, these two falls
being improved and developing 1900 horse
power at the lowest flow of water. The
development Of the big falls will add 1OO,-
900 horsepower to this immense motive
force, the height of the falls being ninety
two feet. and the balance of the head is in
rapids"
In speaking of the mineral resources in
and around Great Falls. Mr. Pettiboue
says: within easy distance OF Great
Falls there is every precious and CONNER
cial mineral OF the Rocky mountain range.
All the country south Of the city to the
Belt mountains, distance of thirty miles.
is underaid with a high grade bituminous
coal, and in places there are extensive
measures of cement shale and fire clay.
In the Rocky mountains to the west and
the Belt range south. there are several
mining camps, and all the mountain area
is mineral bearing. there being thousands
of loads of copper, iron. lead. zinc, silver
and gold and great deposits or dykes Of
crystaliEed and carbonate of lime, onyx,
marbles silcate rock and almost endless
variety of building rock
Among the more prominent operating in
dustries are the second largest copper re-
duction, smelling and refining plant in the
world; Il 1,OOO-barrel flour mill with a mill
and country elevator capacity Of 1,5OO,OO
bushels of grain; two of the largest brew

In view OF the fact that the year 1910 was

MANY ALARMS HELP

Fire in a clothes closet at the home of Mrs. Jane Cody at 86 Catherine St at o'clock this morning burned all the clothes in the closet and did about $75 damage additional. As the clos ct was locked up yesterday, and no- body opened it until the fire, the orig in of the blaze is somewhat of a mys- tery.
 Some one living on Main street up beyond Sts Vincent's telephoned for the auto chemical early this morning The machine was sent up there bu, no fire could be located. It was a grass fire, according to the telephone message.
 An old fashioned fireplace in a building belonging to the Bishop es- tate at Main and Whiting streets caught fire this morning. Some soot in the chimney blazed until the auto chemical extinguished it.
 Two uto-chemicals are now on duty at No. Is chemical house on Middle street. While one goes out to an alarm, the other remains lon the job." This arrangement will contin- ue for some time.
