RAILROADS BUY TIMBER
Inquiries for 100000 Feet Re-
ceived-1O,OOO,OO Bought.

Orders and inquiries for lumber
products manufactured by the mills
of Western Washington aggregating
approximately 100000 feet have
been received from Eastern railroad
companies within the past few days.
The Chicago & Northwestern has
awarded contracts to plants in South
western Washington for nearly 10.-
100000 feet, while the Chicago, Bur-
lington & Quincy has asked prices on
approximately 100000 feet.
This railroad activity is regarded
by lumbermen as an indication that
the railroads, besides being in need
of new equipment, desire to take ad-
vantage of present conditions in the
lumber trade.
The material ordered and asked
for by the two lines named is to be
used in the construction of box cars.
The total amount involved is approxi-
mately $4,000.

$1,000 PREMIUM LIST
Awards to Be Made at County Fair
Next October Now Being Arranged.

Premium lists containing awards
aggregating more than $1,000, to be
granted at the county fair to be
staged in Olympia next October un-
der the auspices of the Thurston
County Pomona Grange. will prob
ably be announced the fore part of
next week, according to County
Agent o. c. Van Houten who, with
County Superintendent-elect O. c..
Goss, is cooperating with the Pomo-
ma executive committee in the plans
for the exhibit.
Details of the premium list are
now being worked out and are prac-
tically completed. Emphasis will be
laid in this fair to the agricultural
and livestock displays, the idea being
to make 1t strictly Thurston county
show. While the plans for the fair
we're inaugurated and are being car
ried out by the Pomona Grange, with
the assistance of the subordinate
Oranges in all parts Of the county,
those in charge of it are anxious to
have an exhibit of some kind from
every farmer in the county.
The fair is to be held at the Car
lyon race track for five days begin
ming Tuesday, October ~, according
to a decision reached by the execu-
tive committee the latter part of last
week. Harness and running races, in
which county horses only will be per-
mitted to participate, will be one OF
the entertainment features. Sheds
for the livestock display will be erect
ed at the Carlyon track, while tents
will be used to house the other ex-
hibits.

Pioneers Postpone Picnic.

Desire of so many residents OF
Olympia to spend next Wednesday in
this city and participate in the cele-
bration to be given the Liberty Bell
prompted the Thurston County Pio-
neer and Historical society to cancel
the excursion they had arranged to
be run to Pt. Defiance park, Tacoma,
ON that day, July IA, when they were
to have held picnic jointly with the
pioneers of King and Pierce counties.
The local society will hold picnic at
Priest Point park later in the sum-
mer.

SAYS YANTIS Is DOING HIS
DUTY.
(From the Centralia Hub.)

(From the Centralia Hub.)
1t should be noted that in one
county at least there is a prose-
cutting attorney who seems to be
trying to do his duty as laid down
by the laws of the state.
The last legislature abolished
the Office of coroner in all except
counties Of the first class and
specified that the prosecuting at
torney should assume the duties
of coroner.
In compliance with this law the
prosecuting attorney of Thurston
county is conducting an inquiry
into the cause of the wreck at
Rainier where three men were
killed and many injured.
This should be en- example to
Prosecuting Attorney C. D. Cum
ningham, who is said to have
made the remark that he would
see the dead rot before he would
assume the duties of coroner as
laid down by the laws of this
state.

IMPROPERLY LOADED CRANE CAUSED WRECK
OFFICIAL FINDINGS WILL
ACCIDENT WHEN THREE PERSONS
WERE KILLED AND INJURED.

That the crane on the Northern
Pacific train which, becoming loos-
ened. smashed into the Milwaukee
trestle overhead and weakened it 80
that the Milwaukee passenger train
plunged through 1t last Saturday
morning in a wreck in which three
persons lost their lives and 26 others
were injured, was not properly and
securely fastened to the car on which
it was loaded, will be one of the prin-
cipal points set forth in the formal
findings to be filed by Prosecuting
Attorney Geo. F. Yantis today or to-
morrow, following an official hearing
and the examination of 23 witnesses
at Rainier Tuesday. Responsibility
for the wreck will thus be placed on
the Northern Pacific. but no criminal
negligence will be charged.
Another point to be brought out in
the findings will be that it is doubt
full whether the Milwaukee train,
travelling at a speed Of from so to
so miles an hour, could have been
stopped in q short enough distance
to have prevented the wreck, even If
it had been properly tagged. One
of the doubtful points in the case is
whether the Northern Pacific crew
exercised the proper care in tagging
the train, the testimony of Brakeman
Frank Russell, VINO attempted to
stop it, and of Albert Gerhke and his
wife, nearby ranchers who we're prob
ably the only eye-witnesses to the
wreck, differing in this respect.
Federal and State Boards Investigate.
At the same time that the local
prosecuting attorney conducted the
hearing at Rainier Tuesday. joint in
vestigations were also made by the
state public service commission and
inspectors of the interstate commerce
commission. Their Investigations
were continued in Tacoma Wednes-
day, but neither has yet made for
nal report.
The three persons killed in the ac-
cident were all residents of Seattle
They were Engineer w. J. ("Lucky")
Baldwin, Fireman w. M. Pendegore
and Louis Bradeen, contracting
freight agent for the Milwaukee rail
road. Engineer Baldwin died three
hours after the wreck, after intense
suffering: Bradeen was instantly
killed and PendegOre, who was Sc.
verely scalded, succumbed Saturday
night at the Tacoma General hos
pital.

COUNCIL POSTPONES
ACTION ON LIGHTS
TWO BIDS ARE OPENED-LOCAL
FIRMS OFFER $4,000 BELOW
OLD CONTRACT.

Pending the receipt Of a proposal
from the Tacoma municipal system.
the city council this week, after re-
ceiving bids Wednesday night from
the Olympia Light & Power COM
pany and w. B. Foshay for lighting
the city, postponed action with refer
ence to awarding the contract and 1t
is expected that 1t will be several
days before a decision is reached. In
the meantime an electrical expert is
at work checking over the two pro-
posals received.
A horizontal reduction of $4,000 a
year. approximately 40 per cent, in
the cost Of lighting the city as COM
pared with the old contract which ex-
pired December 81 last, is contained
in the proposal of the Olympia Light
& Power company, according to Pres
ident Hazard Stevens. Under the
new offer the company would receive
about $3,5OO a year for lighting the
city as compared with $4,000 year
under the old contract, President
Stevens says. e
May Revive FOshay Project.
A guarantee of a minimum pur-
chase of $4,000, worth of power per
year was asked of the city in the bid
submitted by W. B. Foshay as presi-
dent of the Washington Public Serv-
ice company which started to erect q
steam electric and steam heating
plant here two years ago and was
compelled to stop on account OF fnan'
cial difficulties. The creditors of this
concern are reported to be willing to
proceed with the completion of the
plant, providing the city contract II
obtained.
At the same time as these bids
we're received, petitions signed by 27t
property owners from all parts OF ths
city, protesting to the creation OF
local improvement district for the
erection of the proposed municipal
distributing system. were filed ant
referred by the council to the city en-
gineer. A formal report from CIT!
Engineer ]. B. Weddell, estimating
that It would cost $500 to insta
such a system, was received and al
ordinance creating local improve
ment district to carry out the munic
ipal electric plan was on the clerk
desk. but was laid over until the mex
meeting.
The Two Proposals Made.
In general terms, the proposal o
the Olympia Light & Power compan.

LAW ED SIMS KILLED WOULD
HAVE HELPED HIM.

That it sometimes makes a diff
ference whose OK is being gored is
indicated by an interesting ex-
change Of kilograms which recent
ly took place between e. A. Sims,
leader of the majority in the re-
cent legislature, and the state de-
partment of agriculture.
At the recent session a general
sanitary law recommended by the
agricultural department, after be-
ing reported favorably by it's COM
mittee, was put to death by the
pigeonhole route, in the house
rules committee, where Mr.. Sims
was the chief power, on the gen.
eral policy that nothing proposed
by Democrat should be passed.
This week Mr.. Sims telegraphed
the department of agriculture,
asking that fertilizer plant be
prohibited from operating adjoin-
ing his fish cannery at Port Town
send, Mr.. Sims fearing that the
odOr would taint the salmon. AS
sistant Commissioner J. ]. Hig-
gins, in charge of the pure food
division of the agricultural de-
partment, was compelled to reply
that because of the defeat of the
general sanitary law in the house
rules committee. the department
was powerless to act, and Sims
still has the fertilizer plant as his
next door neighbor.

overhead trestle. An Investigation
which was begun almost Immediately
after the wreck by state and govern
ment officials, with view Of deter
mining the responsibility for the ac-
cident. disclosed the fact that a
"bent" Of the trestle had been ripped
out by the big cab Of crane which
was being carried on car of the
Northern Pacific freight train on the
tracks below.
The cab in some manner had be-
come loose and in swinging caught
one of the diagonal cross-stringers of
the trestle. The trainmen of the
freight at once realized the serious
ness of the mishap and Brakeman
Frank Russell attempted to flag the
passenger. Just why his effort failed
has not yet been determined. but
Russell's story is as follows:
II was not sure of the Milwaukee
schedule, but took a flag and started
across the gully under the trestle to-
ward the north end. l crawled
through the barbed wire fence
bounding the Milwaukee right-of-
way, and scrambled up the embank-
ment at the end of the trestle. The
Milwaukee train was coming down
the track. l waved my flag. staying
on the track until I was almost run
down. I do not know whether the
engineer saw me. The train slowed
down somewhat as it ran on the
trestle, but not enough"
Making Good Time.
| Railroad officials later measured
the distance from the end Of the
trestle, where Russell says he tagged
the train, to the break where the
"bent" had been knocked loose and
and found it to be $50 feet. Although
the speed of the Milwaukee train was
diminished it still was making good
time when the locomotive plunged
through the weakened spot.
The wrecked train consisted OF a
locomotive, combination baggage car
and smoker. regulation day coach
and buffet and chair car. The loco
motive was first to 60 through the
trestle, turning partly over. Engi'
neer Baldwin was crushed beneath
the wreck of his cab. Fireman Pen
degore was pinned under the wreck
of the cab and burned frightfully by
escaping steam.
The baggage car and smoker fel

FIND MARKET FOR
THREE LOCAL CROPS
FARM BUREAU HAS SALE FOR
PROPERLY GRADED sPUDS,
BERRIES AND SWEETCORN.

Providing farmers of this county
grade their potatoes according to the
suggestions Of County Agent O. c.
Van Houten, Thurston county
"spuds" will be featured this season
by one of the big Seattle commission
dealers. who will handle all Of them
he can get. according to an announce
ment made this week by Agent Van
Houten.
Thurston county "spuds," taken
as q whole, have been more or less Of
q drug on the market in recent years,
farmers finding it dificult to dispose
Of their crops. but this condition was
due, according to those who have in
vestigated the marketing situation,
not only to the fact that SO many va
rieties were grown here that 1t was
almost impossible to make up a sub
stantial shipment of one kind, but
also because the potatoes sent to mar
ket were not properly graded.
For Berries and Corn, Too.
The market found by the Thurston
County Farm Bureau for all local
"spuds" applies also to the various
berries grown here and to sweet
corn, and. providing that the grading
instructions Which have become the
standard in other sections are fol-
lowed by the farmers of this county
this year, the Bureau anticipates that
the farmers will have no difiiculty in
disposing of their entire. output.
Shortly after the Bureau was
formed on working basis. letter
setting forth the different varieties OF
these three crops deemed best for
this climate and also in greatest de-
mand in the Puget Sound market.
was mailed to every farmer in the
county whose address the Bureau
had, in plenty Of time for these par
ticular varieties to be planted this
year. This was done after consulta-
ton with local grocers and with
down-Sound commission dealers so
that the Bureau would have positive
information upon which to act.
Bureau to BE Mediator.
The marketing situation as 1t
stands today, according to II. L.
Whiting, secretary of the Bureau. is
that local merchants are prepared to
handle and will buy for local sale
such "spuds." sweet corn and pota-
toes as are up to standard and prop
erly graded. In all disputes between
farmers and merchants over the quail
ity or grade of products, the Farm
Bureau will act as mediator and II
the fault is the farmers, will tell him
so on the spot and tell him why.
As the season progresses and other
crops come on to the market. the Bu'
reau expects to be able to work out
a satisfactory solution to the market
ing rroh'ern which has been serious
one for the farmers of this section IL
the past and in that way to place the
agricultural industry in this county
on much firmer basis.
