would flash the signals progressively
The signal system is devised to warn
trains going in the same direction;
that is as the eastbound train moved

that if second train was following
it would be advised.

Effort to Save 45 Minutes
Time on WeStbound Train
Caused Use of East Track.

An attempt to save about 45 minutes
by running No. II. westbound train, on
she eastbound track between Biggs and
Cello was apparently the reason for
the collision of No. Il and eastbound
no. II on December /, according TO
testimony brought out at the wreck in
Quiry held in Portland yesterday by
the state Public Service Commission.
Testimony showed that there was
no obstruction on the westbound track
but that by shifting No. Il onto the
eastbound track, running against traf-
fic, the connecting switch for the Spo-
kane, Portland < Seattle tracks could
be- more conveniently and quickly
made.
This was why No. II and No. Il
came together head-on, causing loss
of life on the main track of the O.-W.

by the dispatcher's office to wait at the
Oregon Trunk junction until No. Il
cleared. Theoretically No. > train did
not exist.
Rules Not ObcNcd
1t was brought ont at the hearing
that a number of rules were broken.
1t was shown that instead of waiting
at the Oregon Trunk junction for or

er to proceed to Biggs where orders

Others Favorable

It appears now that no new counties,

this year although sentiment among
the farmers is favorable to the extent
of 10 or so per cent in Baker. Grant
and Gillian counties. In Western
Oregon, there is much favorable SEN
timent in Yamhill county and in Linn
county an appropriation is being Sc
cured from the county court.
Oregon, in retaining its county
agents, is following the policy Of the

Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Pennsylvania,
New York and the entire New England
states have county agents in every
agricultural county.
