Randolph, Kan.-With eleven bodies
.ecovered from the half-submerged
passenger car of Union Pacific mo
or train which went through bridge
near here Friday, estimates OF the to-
tai casualties were placed at eighteen
lead and two score injured.
Sixty-five persons were in the car,
md only four escaped unhurt when 1t
plunged into Fancy creek and was
buried deep in mud and water. Most
of the dead, it was believed. were
lrowned, although evidence showed
that several of the recovered bodies
had been killed outright when the
train struck the bridge abutment,
weakened by a three-inch rain, and
crashed through It. The train was
crowded with teachers to county
and many of the injured
were young women. There were two
cars to the train but the trailer broke
loose and remained standing on the
track.
The front end Of the car demolished
the abutment and one end of the
bridge, and was tottering on the edge
of the stream. Before many OF the
struggling passengers could extricate
and reach the doors or
windows the car broke loose from
the trailing baggage car and plunged
standing almost upright on
the front end. Many clung to seats
and acknowledges until they were
rescued. Those who had been thrown
against the front of the car were last
seen in a struggling mass that sank
into the water.
or the two score injured IN the
wreck several were said by physicians
to be in grave condition.

Why Was Hart Fired ?

There is more to the "shakeup" in the faculty Of

DR. Hart is man of fearless views 1t is an open
secret that certain members Of the legislature had
tempted to put t'rider" on the university appro-
priation, the condition being that money shall be
allowed the university unless Dr. Hart, for one, be
sfired"
The spectacle was furnished last winter of the
temporary head Of the university bending his knees

appropriation and it was given out at the time that
IAN arrangement" had been made satisfactory to-
the "leaders" of the legislature.
Now comes the announcement of DR.. Harris vir-
tual removal.
Dr. Hart believes in social and industrial justice
and he has not hesitated to express his views favor
ing minimum wages for women, mothers pensions,
etc. He also recently made plain his contempt for
tho reactionary legislature of 1915 in which con-
siderable portion of the people of this state agree
with him.

Of the legislature to force the retirement also of Dr.

POWER SITE HEARING.

Judge c. II. Neal Is in Washington
City, where he has gone to represent
the West Okanogan Valley Irrigation
District ina hearing before the Interior
department relative to water power
sites on the Similkameen river One of
the aims of the directors of the district
lis the development Of water power for
the purpose of supplying electric power
and lighting for the valley. There are
several claimants to appear at the
hearing that was set for September 20,
among them, besides the district are
the Similkameen Power company and
the Washington Power company. that
is furnishing power from the Methow
up the Okancgan valley as far as Okla
hogan. This hearing grows out of a
contest inauguratcd some months ago
for power site rights at the falls of the
Similkameen. The power site occuDied
by the Similkameen LIGHT & Power
company was originally located by the
late j. M. Haggerty, years ago. but
through some failure to follow tho law

No one can read of the magnificent
loyalty of the German people as a ma
ton without a feeling Of admiration.
When the last German loan was called
for meeting INC extraordinary cost OF
he war, the individual citizens took
up most of the loan. There was a spon-
tancous respOn5e from all classes. The
rich contributed from their wealth and
he poor rushed forward with their
mite. Through his popular cont'ribu-
ton, the enormous sum of three bill
ion dollars was realized. 1t is doubtful
if any other alton on earth would dis
play such unsolfish devotion. The
pocket nerve is the most sensitive to
the touch and men shrink from giving
up their substance for any cause. But
the German people are cheerfully Civ
ing of their lives and means to back
up the kaiser in his present war It
is a beautiful exhibition of patriotic
devotion, and an object lesson to the
people of other countries engaged in
the gigantic struggle.

STARTED LITIGATION.

Arthur ID. Jones, of Spokane, spent
Sunday in Oroville, and while here
went over his property on the west
side of the Similkameen river with
County Engineer Smith and his attor-
ney, w. c. Gresham, examining into
what the construction of the high line
ditch and the building of the roads had
done to him. Mr. Jones, we regret to
state, is in rather a belligcrent state
Of mind. He claims that he was will
ing when the plans of the ditch system
were first presented to him
to grant a right of way, but that
the line of survey had been changed
so as OF work a great inconvenience in
reaching the land above the ditch, and
that now an ugly embankment of earth
had been thrown up the entire length
Of the tract, the result of the cash upon
the face of nature through which water
is to be conveyed to induce II miles
of property to the south to blossom as
the rose. He didn't say anything like
the last statement, which is the truth,
nevertheless, for Mr.. Jones was evil
IDENTIFY very much peeved at the condi-
tons that he found existing He further
stated that about a dozen roads, more
or less travelled, had been used by an
discriminating public across this
land, until the tract Is about reduced
The Oroville weekly gazette. [volume] (Oroville, Wash.) 1905-19??, 1915-10-01

to nothing else but roads, and that
shale rock has been removed from the
property without consent.
Mr.. Jones has appealed to the courts
for compensation for damages claimed
1t is step to be regretted by every
person interested in the future of the
town and valley The action will not
prevent the completion of the work in
progress, but it will be expensive to
all concerned. A compromise may be
reached if Mr. Jones is willing to be
reasonable, and Mr. Jones has inter
ests at stake as we'll as other property
owners in the valley and can afford
to be reasonable. If he is not inclined
to be reasonable, then may providence
stand by the people in any controversy
that may arise, for the building Of this
system is too vital an issue for any one
man to stand in the way of it's con-
summation.
