AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS

A certain dealer in automobiles has
made careful investigation of six
hundred accidents where fatalities
have occurred.
He has grouped the causes of acci-
and endeavored to draw moral from
them. The one really important point
that this man has made is that a ma
jority of accidents occurred to high
priced, and high-powered cars. These
were usually driven by men who did
not own them, and in most instances
when the accident occurred, the mach
inc was out of the garage without the
owners knowledge.
1t was not always exactly joy-riding,
because the driver has the car out on
the excuse OF testing 1t, or going on
some errand. But on the route he

Missouri, Kansas and Texas train
No. 9, the Katy Limited, southbound,
leaving McAlester at 1858 Sunday
morning, was wrecked eight minutes
later, six miles south as the result OF
running into bunch OF horses.
One passenger was killed, and the
list of injured contains forty-six
names. A relief train, carrying doc
tors, nurses and hospital supplies was
sent to the scene from McAlester.
The train returned to McAlester at
3 o'clock, bringing the dead and injur-
ed and all the passengers who were
not hurt, together with the trainmen.
The only one killed was Mrs. Geo.

took in a friend or two, and in his
anxiety to give these friends thrill,
and often carrying on on conversa-
ton at the same time, he lost controls;
and fraction of second throws you
against the curb.
In several instances, the trouble was
started by picking up an inconvenient
dog in the steering gear. A few years
ago we thought it perfectly safe to
run over the canine II he failed to get
out Of the way. Now we see that
there is pretty nearly as much danger
for the occupants OF the machine as
for the dog
Strong drinks play big part in
accidents. Where accidents occurred,
very seldom was the driver drunk.
In many instances. however. the party
had stopped for refreshments. II
seems that II there is any business
that demands absolute sobriety II is
running an automobile. Dutch courage
goes all right most everywhere else.
A boozy man can drive horses with
comparative safety. The horse is eau
tiovs Of where he goes, and usually
his instincts are right But the ma
chine has no brain. The machine re-
lies on man absolutely when It comes
to thinking. and It is perfectly willing
to go over the cliff IL the man does
not interfere.
And a little additional courage and
enthusiasm. Just little increase in
the pulse, lessons the drivers ability
to gauge distance and speed.

THE STANDARD AND THE GRANGE

The honor the Thurston County Po-
mona Grange bestowed on THE WASH
INGToN STANDARD last week when it
delegated its secretary to send to this
paper for publication all resolutions
adopted at its meetings, is one that
the STANDARD is only TOO glad to &C
cept. for it demonstrates to us that
we are attaining that for which we
are striving: the confidence of the
farmers of Thurston county.
We are publishing a farmers paper.
At any time and in any way that we
can help the farmers of this county,
we propose to do it. We look to them
for suggestions, advice and counsel
and we endeavor to give them what
they never have had before: paper
that is their paper, published in their
interests, championing their causes
and ever eager to help them.
Therefore we greatly appreciate the
favor given us by the members of the
Thurston County Pomona Grange and
through them the members of all the
subordinate Oranges in the county and
all of the farmers. 1t is an obligation
we are glad to assume.

CONCERNING FEDERAL OFFICES.

Our very learned contemporary, the
Spokane Democrat. slipped cog last
week in it's enumeration of federal Of
fees in this state which still remain
ed to be filled. making the statement
that appointees were still to be Sc
lected for surveyor general at Olym-
pia, superintendent of the Rainier ma
tional park and commissioner of i'm
migration at Seattle.
The ignorance displayed by our con-
temporary is remarkable. e. A. Fitz-
Henry has been surveyor general here
since early last summer E. T. Allen
of Tacoma has been superintendent of
the national park for nearly as long.
ard Henry NJ. Whites appointment as
commissioner of immigration at Sc
attic was confirmed about month ago.
Are they TO be fired, Brother White?

joy of everybody it proved to be a
false alarm.

1t is mistaken idea entertained by
many of our people that the present
high prices which almost every de-
scription of merchandise commands
are attributable to scarcity in the
+ Eastern markets. The true cause Is
to be found in the stock-jobbing pro-
pensity evinced by the San Francisco
wholesale merchants, who appear to
have buried all rivalry in a grand
scheme to extort ruinous prices for ev-
cry essential article of consumption
used by the people of this Coast.

"FAKES. IN OIL,

One thing this Northwest should la
ment, one thing that is tending to in
jure its reputation and one that we
should therefore all deplore, is the
growing opinion throughout the East
and Middle West that too much faith
cannot be placed in the reliability of
statements concerning its many re-
sources, some made in good faith,
most of them, however, to hoodwink
the unwary and thereby aid the ul-
terror motives of one group or another
of spectators in some one of those re-
sources.
This belief that many of such state
ments are bombastic, overdrawn and
misleading is quite prevalent. Men
who have come out here and invested
what little they had and then faced a
struggle to hold it after the glittering
promises had failed to materialize.
have written back to their friends at
home and told them the story and
these friends have told others, until
the feeling to which we refer is alto.
gether too prevalent to be beneficial ia
all the interests of the state.
We. had a very apt illustration OF
such bombast during the last two
weeks, when apparently authentic
stories as to the finding of a high
grade of paraffine base oil at a depth
of only $50 feet on the Quiniault res
ervation, were sent broadcast. Promp
investigation of the reported strike
by city newspaper developed the fac
that the stories were flakes" withou
any foundation, that no oil had beer
found, though the prospect was an ex
cellent one and every indication wa
favorable.
All of us remember the old fabl
about the wolf. To apply 1t to this sit
uation we have but to realize that con
tinued fakes" as to the discovery 0
oil on the reservation or anywher
else in the state will tend to destro.
faith in the probabilities of discover,
and will retard that development TO
which we all hope when the rea
strike comes.
Let's tell the truth about it--now.
