FATAL ACCIDENT.

Saturday morning train No. 256 ON
Ithe S. F.. & N, northward bound, in
Icharge of Conductor j. F. Getsey and
Engineer Jeff Irby, struck an auto
mobile at railroad crossing about
Imile south of Springdale, killing Ar
thur H. Kenyon, well-known and
prominent attorney, injuring Mrs.
Minnie Carsten so severely that she
ldied Sunday, and less seriously in1ur-
ling Henry Carsten and Mrs. Arthur
III. Kenyon.
At the point where the accident oc-
|curred is quite a heavy grade both
Ion the railroad and wagon road. The
Iparty consisting of Mr.. and Mrs. Ken
lyon and Mr.. and Mrs. Carsten were
travelling in a Buick car on the way
ito Springdale. At the point where the
accident occurred growth of brush
jobscures the track, and according to
the statement of Mr.. Carsten, who was
ldriving the car, the train gave no
warning of its approach, and the ma
lchine was within very few feet Of
the track before he saw the engine,
when it was too late to prevent the
accident. According to the statement
of one of the train crew the pilot of
the engine struck the automobile Just
back of the side lights, tearing the ve-
Ihicle to pieces and throwing the oc-
jcupants some distance. How any of
the occupants of the car escaped with
their lives is miracle considering
the force of the impact, as the train
was running at speed of 35 or 40
imlles per hour. When the train was
stopped all of the injured were living.
ialthough it was evident that Mr.. Ken
lyon and Mrs. Carsten were fatally
hurt. They were taken to Valley and
placed in a hospital. Mr. Kenyon died
about an hour after reaching the hos
pital and Mrs. Carsten died the next
day.
| There seems to be difference of
lopinion as to whether the engineer
whistled at the crossing. Some state
that they did not hear the whistle and
Mr.. Carsten is positive that he did not
hear either whistle nor the ringing
of the bell. Still, the noise of the run
ming car might have prevented him
/ II Oii hSoiihS lhC app OdShAA6 ~ dllp
or whistle, for a number of witnesses
declare the whistle sounded. 1t may be
difficult to fix the responsibility for
the accident. According to description
the crossing is obscured by the growth
of trees, and such an accident Is liable
to happen at any time if travellers ON
the wagon road do not take the utmost
lprecaution. In cases of this kind the
natural tendency is to place the blame
upon the train crew, but it must be
remembered that drivers of automo-
lbiles are far from being as cautious
las they should be. A railroad crossing
is always a menace, but too many
drivers take flying chance at such
crossings without slowing down to
Iascertain if there be train in sight
according to the statement of the fire
man Gu the train, who was the only
witness of the approaching car, the
|machine was running at very high
rate of speed as it was approaching
the track. He also stated that the
whistle was blown and the bell rung.

EXPERT INVESTIGATION.

TOT some time it has been patent n
the town officials that some provis;ons
would have to be made for imrro,,i,,s.
and increasing the water supply Dur'
ing the hot months of summer tho
pumps have been kept operating dav
ana night, and still it was difficn,t to
meet the demand for water. AT t;mos
the reservoir was dangerously low
and had fires occurred thera rn;at,t :
nave been serious loss solely on ac-
count OF the shortage of water. Tha
council felt that some action was i'm
perative. but did not care to mako !.
move without expert advice. With thai
object in view the council invited Jobn
Z. Ralston, of Spokane. to Investigate
and pass Judgment upon the best
means or procuring water for muni-
clpal purposes, and suggest what he
might consider the best plan to fol-
low to increase the supply, taking in
TO consideration the future needs of
a larger place, and suggest the source
OF supply. The council was very fortu-
nate in their selection of an advisory
engineer. Mr.. Ralston has been engag-
ed In this line of work for twenty-five
years, has given advice, and that ad-
vice has been followed advantageously
to numerous municipalities. That there
is no question as to his competency is
shown by the fact that today he is
consulting engineer for the Columbia
basin irrigation project, the largest of
the kind that has ever been suggested
in the northwest.
Mr.. Ralston spent several days in
Oroville during the past week, care
fully going over the present system,
looking into the possible source Of
supply, taking cognizance of the water
sheds, examining waters from which
la supply can be obtained, and gaining
|all the information possible both by
inquiry as well as personal observa-
ton. He made verbal report before
the council Monday evening, and will
submit a more thorough and technical
report in writing as soon as he can
ascertain the cost of necessary mater
ial and give an approximate cost of the
proposed Improvement Mr.. Ralston
taking the water from
Osoyoos lake. both on account of the
purity, .and softness Of the water and
because of the inexhaustible supply
for all time to come, and made other
valuable suggestions, giving irrefut-
liable reasons for his deductions.
In personal converse with the gen.
|tleman Mr.. Ralston expressed his sur
prise at finding such an admirable
ltownsite and the numerous tributary
resources that he felt confident In
time would result in the building up
|of a very considerable city. He ex-
lpressed pleasurable surprise at the
|forethought of the officials in prepar-
ing for the future as well as arrang-
ling for the present wants in the way
of water supply as usually, accord
ling to his experience town waits un-
til the last minute to make such pro-
visions with the result that they pay
excessively for the same and rarely
secure satisfactory results. His writ
ten report is awaited with much in
terest by the town officials.

WANTED-A FAIR EXHIBIT.

County Agriculturalist Holt is en-
deavoring to secure an exhibit Of
fruits grain and vegetables for the
Interstate Fair to be held at Spokane
next month. He has appointed P. M.
Snider, cashier of the Bank of Oroville
to take charge of the collection from
this part of the county. Mr. Snider is
willing to do all in his power to Sc
cure display that will be represen-
tative of the products Of the valley
under the irrigation system, and from
the hill country where there may be
found grains worthy Of exhibit, but he
|can accomplish little unless he has
the cooperation of land owners and
farmers. He invites all growers to
leave with him samples and specimens
|of fruits, grains and vegetables, and
he will do the rest, the principal part
of which will be seeing that the sam
pies get to the fair and are properly
tagged. 1t would be valuable adver-
ltisement for the valley if a large and
comprehensive collection could be
made and placed on exhibit at the fair.
The samples are here If the people
will only take the slight trouble of
collecting the same and bringing them
in. 1t will be pleasantly remembered
that Oroville made most attractive
exhibit at fair held at Spokane some
years ago, laying it over all competi-
tors, and pulling down the prize. The
same thing can be done again if there
lis put forth united effort in securing
the exhibits. 1t required work at that
time, and lots of it, to get together the
lexbibit that was sent to Spokane but
the result was worth the time and
trouble given to making the collec-
ton. Let our people get in and do ii
again. Confer with Mr.. Snider and
help him out in the good work.
