WRECK
NEAR HAYWOOD
Passenger and Double Header Freight
Trains Smash into Eeach Other

AS a result of N. P. passenger
train No. 6, east bound, and q
double-neader freight, west bound,
crashing into each other near May
wood, Friday night just before
midnight, w. E. Slower, engineer
of No. S, of Seattle, was killed, as
was L. P. Kurtz, engineer on the
freight, of Tacoma, and Paul G.
Lud, fireman. of Seattle.
The injured were: w. f. Nor
ris, brakeman, of Seattle; A. H.
Stairway, passenger, Of this city;
Edna Hayes, of St. Paul; Mrs. D.
H. Dick, of Seattle, and Lawrence
Mason, fireman, of this city. Ma
sons injuries were slight. as were
also most of the others.
1t is said that the direct cause Of
this disaster was simply disobeying
orders on the part of the passen-
ger crew, who had orders to stop
at haywood until the freight train
passed, which was not observed.

BANKS TO COLLECT
CAMPAIGN FUNDS
Will Assist Democrats, Republicans and
PrOgressives to Raise Funds

The Bank of Ellensburg is in re
ceipt of the following letter from
w. G. McAdoo, acting chairman
of the democratic national commit
tee. Read it:
To the Bank of Ellensbutg: An
unprecdent opportunity is present
ed to the Banks and Trust compa-
MES of this country for the per-
Torrance of a patriotic service OF
inestimable value to the people.
There has long been a deep-seat-
ed conviction in the public mind
that presidential campaigns have
been financed by certain interests
having a special stake in the con-
troll of government. 1t is clear
that such campaigns should, for
the common good, be free from
the suspicion of sinister influence.
The democratic party at least
will respond to the overwhelming
popular sentiment in favor of the
financing of presidential campaigns
by the people themselves. This
years campaign must be financed
by popular subscriptions" These
cannot be secured unless conven-
lent and responsible agencies all
over the country are provided for
the receipt and transmission of sub
scriptions.
Banks, Trust companies and
newspapers are the best agencies.
The newspapers are already at
work. Will the Banks and Trust
companies perform the same patri-
otto service? The Banks and Trust
companies, of course, will not be
partisan. They should accept and
transmit subscriptions for each of
the national parties if they act at
all.

l0UK OUT FOR THE
LEGISLATIVE CRANkS
Fortunately Kittitas County Has No
TuCh Candidates This Year

Look out for the crank who
wants to go to OLYMPIA.
Leave him at home this year
Grant that he is honest and earnest.
He means well. He thinks his
fad purpose" he calls it's the
biggest thing in the state. He's
ready to swap off anything and
everything to get his pet bill
through.
That's one reason why he is
dangerous. The man who is so
busy watching his appropriation
for a hospital for sick cats that he
can't see a salary grab--the law
maker who is SO anxious to forbid
any one to go fishing on Sunday
that he will trade votes on a tide
land steal-he's about as safe at
Olympia as gasoline tank at a
bonfire
That isn't all This state has
more laws now than its citizens
can remember. To add one new
statute without excellent reasons
is folly. Every useless measure
weakens the entire code. Every
statute that is narrow, unjust, friv-
olous or not calculated to be en-
forced breeds contempt for law and
gives an argument for anarchy.
It's bad enough to see freaks in
congress. Help to keep them out
of Olympia Spokane Chronicle.

UNIQUE CONTESTS
At SPOKANE FAIR.
All Sorts Of Competitive Tests
Have Been Planned.

Any kind Of a genuine contest. from
q foot race to an aerOplane race, IL al
ways interesting, and the Spokane Fair
arranged for all sorts Of competitive
stunts to be pulled of during Interstate
Fair week. Sept. 80 to Oct. G. OF
course the horse races are the main
events. and ST., 800 is offered in purses
for the horsemen. but the amateur fire.
mems tournament, the miners rock
drilling contest and the lumbermen's
log chopping contest will be sure
enough exciting
A long list Of prizes has been ar
ranged for the 1remen. Any town can
enter a team. and many Of the Inland
Empire cities have agreed to have their
best men there. Five hundred dollars
Is given for a two hand rock drilling
exhibition, and the best men from the

to see these men, trained athletes all.
drive steel drill forty to fifty inches
into solid granite In fifteen minutes,
hitting fifty to sixty strokes a minute
and changing the long steels without
losing stroke.
The log chopping is a new idea, but
the woodsmen who have 1t In charge
are sure 1t will be as exciting rs any
Of the other features, and there should
be plenty Of good choppers in the In.
land Empire who will take a chance to
win the $3.50 offered.
Races at night by the light Of the
mammoth searchllghts are another fea-
ture, tried first in 1911 with great sue.
cess and to be repeated this year. The
night chariot races are especially ex-
citing, as the chariots are covered with
fireworks, which serve the double pur-
pose Of lighting the race and exciting
the four horses which draw each We
hicle.
And another contest. perhaps not 40
exciting, but surely of more practical
good. Is the milk test, in which many
Of the prize milk cows of the north
west will contend Full particulars
concerning all these contests may be
had by addressing Robert II. Cosgrove,
secretary Of the Spokane Fair.
