GIVES HIS LIFE
 TO SAVE TRAIN
SECTION HAND STRUCK AND KILLED BY EXPRESS AS HE
 TEARS HEAVY TIE FROM : ITS PATH.

That the passengers on 7 the fast New York-Boston express which aeaves Bridgeport at 4:2s in the af- '<ernoon might not be placed in peril Of their lives and possibly many of them killed by. the wrecking of their train Tony Donatto, section hand, heroically gave up his life yesterday. Donatto. a man 57 years of age, with 8- wife and six children dependent up- on shim for support. had been sec ton hand for the New Haven road Iforf the, past 18 years. He was one of ;4 gang which was assigned, yesterday afternoon to the task of track repair ing near the railroad tower in the vii cinity of the West Haven railroad sta ton The Gang under the charge of Foreman Sullivan, was at work on Ahortly before the hour for the heavi- ly laden--f fast express to whiz by.
 The sound of the oncoming train as it approached a wide curve near the spot where the workmen. were busy was warning for the gang to step The gang sprang clear of the tracks and paused from their labors to watch it pass. Donatto, however, noticed as the men left the tracks that big~tie had been left lying right across the track in the path of the express and he knew that it meant derailment and probably death to a large num- Der of passengers if 1t remained there.
 Calling to a companion laborer Do- natto grabbed one end of the rail without thought of the danger to himself and the two succeeded in get ting the tie off the track before the train hit the spot. His companion sprang back quickly enough to get out of the way of the engine but Do- natto was unable to avoid it so quick 1y did 1t leap toward him and the en- zine, running at full speed struck him on the side of the head.
 Donattos head was completely sew cred from his body by the impact, the trunk being hurled some 30 feet away from the tracks. Besides the decapi- tation which caused instant death, an ugly hole was made in the mans back and his right leg was broken.
 At the place where the tie was lay ing there is wide curve, and steep emhankment on the side, and but for the brave work of Donatto. a wreck riVaIling the horrors of the Federal wreck at Bridgeport, might have oc- cured
 Donatto has worked for the rail- road company for the past eighteen years. and according to his foreman has always been steady, faithful worker The man was we'll liked by all whom came in contact with him.
 One peculiar feature of the acci- dent was the fact that a silver watch which Donatto had carried for years was found undamaged and still going upon the dead body.

COMMISSION GOVERNMENT.
(Springfeld Union.)

To paraphrase a familiar saying, commission government is as com mission government does." This has been discovered in Lowell, where the voters abandoned the old style of mu- n&cipal administration and took on the commission form in the belief that the change would effect an in- stantaneous and lasting improvement in political conditions. Among the strongest advocates of the change was the Lowell Courier-Citizen. a clean and able newspaper which or dinarily is not carried away witch zeal for. new political nostrums and 1n- tried Or not fully tested remedies for economic ills. The following com ment in The Courier-Citizen on the results that have attended theI inau- guration of the commission plan in Lowell may, therefore, be taken as free from any tincture of prejudice or bias:
 'That there should be wide dissat- isfaction with the present board is not surprising. That board is not yet on record as having reduced the expense of doing the city business. It has kept needless jobs alive, and

 and telephone to the Board of Health if you happen to see an ice wagon passing by placarded with yellow signs. It does not mean that the wagon has been placarded for mea- sles, scarlet fever, or whooping cough, but it just means that the Naugatuck Valley Ice Company is selling ice that has been inspected by John c. Sparks, a noted chemist of New York. The Valley Ice Company has been sent a quantity of metal signs painted yellow and lettered in black by the Natural Ice Association of America whose chemist went over the water shed of reservoir, tested the water and ice and guarantees it ab-s solutely pure for domestic use. They say they are going to tack these signs on their ice carts. The signs state that Mr. Sparks, chemist and andy ticaI expert, has inspected samples of ice from the reservoir where they cut their ice and found it o. K. They are going to plaster the signs over their freshly painted wagons, for ef- feet, they say.

 The newly elected officers were called upon tO address the cham Der. President BunnrII thanked the members for the trust they had imposed in him and said he fully realized the importance of the position which the chamber should hold in the community. He hoped the promise of the bright future of the town would be fulfilled and would do all in his power to bring this about. He urged the necessity of the mem BerS being present al the meet ings and hoped the new officers would have loyal support in their efforts.
 Mr. Foster, in moving d vote of thanks for the outgoing officers, gave brief synopsis of the chamber during the past few months. He said it. had required a mighty effort on the part of the retiring officers to bring the chamber to life last summer. They had been faithful and even when only two OF three were gathered together" they had kept up the work and had gone into their own pockets for much of the expense. He hoped the new ad- ministralion would be able to put the chamber on a firm financial basis and could induce the prop Grly owners tO take q healthy in- tcrcst in the organization. Mr. James Fish, Mr. l. ID. Flynn and Mr. Temple had proved them selves exceptions in Ihc past. They had appeared at every meet ing and worked hard for the wei fare of the town.
 Mr. DOnohOc was appointed a member of the dyke committee tO net in the place of Mr. Flynn, who was confined to his bed through illness.

and from the reports in the office
we viii have a big lot of stock and a
big lot of people to care for here next
month. The show of individual
horses will be very fine and the hog
exhibit will be in the same class as
is seen at the international show in
Chicago. l doubt if there has ever
been a better collection of cattle and
sheep than will be shown here next
month.
At the present time we have on
the preliminary entry blanks over
200 individual pure-bred animals
that will be brought to the Lewiston
show in December. The permanent
entry blanks will be sent out with
the premium list and within a short
time we expect to have a check on
the carload lots of cattle, sheep and
hogs that will be brought here for
exhibition and sale purposes. There
is no possible check on the carload
lots, but every report shows addi-
tional stock being prepared in prac
tically every section of the Northwest
and We expect the supply of market
stock shown here to be sufficient to
provide the choice Christmas meats
for the markets of the cities of the
Northwest. Many of these cattle,
sheep and hogs have been under pre-
raration for approximately a year
and some very choice stock can. be
expected here. The Washington
State College at Pullman and the
University of Idaho at Moscow will
have exhibits here and each institu-
ton will be represented by a stock
Judging team.
The association is especially
pleased with the interest developed
throughout the country in the boys
and girls stock judging contests and
there are a score of towns in Idaho
and Washington where the boys and
girls meet once or twice a week for
Instruction in stock Judging and
number of towns have offered to
pay the expenses of their representa-
tives to the Lewiston show in order
that they may be represented in such
contests. Taken all in all, we pre-
dict the greatest success for every
department of the big show and the
sale and we expect to see this insti-
tuition become the greatest institu
ton of its kind in the western terri
tory"

Will Hold Farm Schools

With George 2. Wiley of Water
vile presiding, the meeting Of the
agricultural committee of the Wash
ington Bankers association was held
i'll the assembly rooms of the Old
National bank in Spokane last week.
o. L. Waller, vice president of the
Washington State College, outlined
plans of that institution to hold agri-
cultural schools of a months dura-
ton in / 2 seperate districts through
out the state each year. This plan
was approved by the committee and
it was explained that the plan fur
Their carried with it the conducting
of these schools by teachers we'll
qualified for the work The com
mittee will use its $500 fund in this
manner.
MIR. Waller said in part;
Bankers and business mems as
sociations in other states are taking
up this work and getting more and
more into these movements for the
betterment of the public welfare. We
feel there is need and an op-
portunity for the State College to
make itself more useful for the needs
of the state and its extension work
should be broadened and the agri-
cultural knowledge of the school
should be more widely disseminat-
ed"
