accident was caused by landslide.
Later it was ascertained that no one
On the. train had been killed, but that
two persons who were near the tracS
when some of the cars were derallea
had lost their lives.
For some time it was believed that
an accident as fearful as that at
Rock6sh about twelve years ago had
occurred and the facts in the case
when ascertained proved great re-
| lief.
Dispatches from Charlottesville
! which were received, stated that
FAST train No. SO, northbound, from

! Charlottesville at 1855 last night on

Vile. at 7:O5 last night. The two To-
comotives drawing the train and tour
express cars were overturned, ou'

eer on the front engine, suffered a

switch to the main line, while the
second entered the siding. Both en-
! gines toppled over, as did the bag

day coach left the rails but did not

The accident is said to have been
caused by block of wood falling

SEATTLE AND ALASKA

 The editor of the HoQuiam Washngtonian has freunuently admonished Seattle as to its duties and its opportunities and his advice has been uniformly helpful but has not always been followed.
 recent trip to Alaska found Editor Patton, as usual solictous of the interests of Seattle He fears now that British Columbia cities are seeking to sup plant this city in Alaskas friendship and business, and more that that are making some headway He advises us to pay particular attention to the Terri torys fishing industry and Go continue our efforts for general development.
 Seattle could hardly be more interested in Alaska development than in the past 1t has shared equally with local enterprises in the solictous support of our citizens. To the average dweller here Seattle and Alaska are synonymous terms. There should be no feeling in any quarter that we have been dereict in helpful assistance.
 In the invasion of the Alaska trade, British Col umbia has had the support of both provincial and Dominion government. Every facility that govern ment could extend has been furnished. In fact the government has been the chief force in encouraging British Columbia enterprise.
 Seattle has had little help from our government in constructive plans. The government railroad, the opening of the Terrtoys coal fields and it's agricul- tura lands urged and principally supported by Seattle citizens, who rejoiced with the people of the Northern Territory when these ambitions were real zed It was a long and stubborn fight, and SeGe1e was the backbone of t

WICK AND FEDERAL CONTROL OF ALASKA

The local Wickershamites have had good deal to say about the control of Alaska government by Federal officials and about the powers Of the courts in Alaska In the commission bill prepared by Wick ersham. introduced oy Gale it was not only provided that Alaska should have all the Federal officials she now has, but it was proposed that the Territorial Treasurer Territorial AttorneyGenera and Territorial Commissioner of Education should be appointed by the President and that these Federal officials and two others. to be appointed by the President and FEDERAL JUDGE TO BE DESIGNATED BY THE PRESIDENT, were to be the upper branch of the Territorys law.making body
 This is just little incident of hundreds in the long and yartcoIored career of wiekersham in Alaska that demonstrates beyond cavn that he is utterly lacking in anything approaching a comprehen- sve conception of the fundamentals Of the American philosophy of government He has backed and filled and haggled over trifles. He has never in his life stood fairly and sQuarey for fundamental American principle He has never shown that he comprehends one.

All runs of salmon enter the bay during the season including Kings sockeye, silver, humpbacks and dogs.
