TRAINS COLLIDE
OUT OF SPOKANE
AFTERNOON NORTH BOUND PASS
ENGER RUNS INTO FREIGHT
All ALTAMONT

The afternoon train to Spokane on
the Spokane & Inland railroad collid-
ed headon with a freight train at Alta
mont station about four miles out of
Spokane last evening and marvellous
ly enough no one was injured. Speak
ing o fthe wreck the SpokeSman-Re-
view says
THE collision took place between
eaStbound Moscow passenger train No.
6S and inbound freight train No. SO,
at 5:45 p. m. Although blame for
the wreck will not be placed until
after official investigation today, it
is reported it was due to the pas
senger train violating it's orders in
trying to make another siding than
the one ordered, because it was late.
''The trains came together on a
curve, but mOtOrman of each saw
the impending disaster before it oc-
Cured. AS a result both applied
their brakes, threw their motors in
reverse and it is reported jumped, al
though company officials said they
had not leaD<d that any one jumped
except Mr.. Shute, baggageman on the
passenger train.
1.-The crew on the passenger train
was composed of W. J. Stewart, con-
ductor, and Percy Roundy, motor
man. B. F. Sperry, chief dispatcher,
said. 'tThe passenger train was made
up of two passenger coaches contain
ing about rs people and the combina-
ton motor and baggage car. The
freight train was heavy and hauled
by two motors.
From our reports both trains must
haze been practically stopped when
they came together, for the motors
were not damaged, not even their
headlights broken. The greatest
damage seemed to have been to the
rear of the baggage car and the first
passenger coach, which were partially
telescoped. But only one window In
the passenger car was broken.
Rev r. L. Dunn of this city was
on the train and stated that the mo-
torman jumped and by so doing prob
ably saved his life. A passenger in
the smoking compartment, looking
out of the window saw the train ap-
preaching and made for the door,
shouting that there would be col
Iission. He was followed by all in
the car and they were able to get Off
without injury, as the passenger had
by this time slowed down somewhat.
The men rushed through a fence into
a field. When the trains struck the
baggage car and front passenger
coach, which the men had just left,
telescoped, and had the men not been
able to get out of the coach there
would undoubtedly have been num-
ber of fatalities.

FARMER HAS WHEAT
WITH AVERAGE 90 LBS.

David Richardson, a well known
farmer of Fix Ridge, has delivered to
the warehouses what is said by grain
dealers to be one of the finest lots
of wheat they have ever seen. The
wheat is of the Sonora club variety,
and tests 651a pounds to the bushe1,
which is an exceptional test. j. G.
Gibson, a veteran grain man OF Mos
COW stated to The Star-Mirror that
he had examined and weighed some of
the wheat, and that it was the first
he had ever seen that tested above
64 pounds.
Mr. Richardson farms large acre
age and harvested what is said to
have been one of the best crops in
Latah county, some of his wheat
yielding as high as 40 bushels.

COUNTY and STATE
LEVY IS 1873 MILLS

The state and county tax levy for
Latah county were fixed at 1873 mills
by the board of county commission
ers now in session at the courthouse.
This represents an increase OF one
mill over the 1921 levy, due to the
$1,5O0,00O reduction in the assessed
valuation of property in the county.
The board spent Monday afternoon
and part of Tuesday morning exam
lining the city tax levies of the coun-
ty. Rates for the various towns and
villages are: Moscow, "a mills;
Genesee, 20 mills; Juliaetta, 15 mills;
Kendrick, Is mills; Troy, 35 mills,
Deary, 25 mills; Bovill, 80 mills.
Tuesday morning was spent prin-
cipally in going over the special lev
les of the different school districts.
The afternoon was also devoted to the
consideration of school taxes.
Despite the raise in tax levy CT one
mill, it is believed that the effect
upon the farmers of the county will
hardly be noticeable. In 1921 a fif-
teen per cent raise was made in the
assessed valuations of farm lands by
the state board of equalization, but
the board did not make an increase
this year.
The increase il the county cur
rent expense account levy was oc-
casioned by the $4,000 necessary TO
carry on the general election this fall.
The increase in the expense of main
tanning the home for indigents also
caused a larger revenue for that pur-
pose.
However, the aggregate taxes will
amount to practically the same as
last year owing to certain material
reductions in miscellaneous budgets of
the county.

ORDERS ACTION ON WILL
after SEVEN YEARS

An order for distribution has been
entered by Probate Judge Adrian Nell
son in the estate of Samuel Gregory,
who died testate in June, 1915. The
estate has been pending the probate
court since the time of the death of
the deceased, owing to the fulfillment
of certain provisions in the last will
and testament of the deceased.
The property of the deceased
amounted to considerable good farm
ing land in the Palouse vicinity des-
cribed as NWA, S1aNEA, section II,
township Al north, range w. B. NJ,
and E1aNEA, section IS, TOWNSHIP Al
ing wife, Annie Gregory, and a son,
executors of the estate.
Under the terms of the will the COM
munity half of the real estate was
bequeathed to his wife for the re-
mainder of her life provided she did
not marry before the youngest child
attained the age of 18 years. It is this
clause that has held up the distribu-
tion of the estate until now.
The remainder of the real proper
ty was bestowed equally upol eight
of the children, Emma Isabel May
field, George A. Gregory, Fannie Ada
Florence Nordby, Ho-
bert Gregory, Nelson Miles Gregory,
Albert Stanley Gregory, and Bernice
Gregory. The ninth child received a
specific cash legacy.
Institute Action on Note
Action has been instituted in the
probate court against r. V. Wood by
the Butterfield Implement company
for the collection of the sum of SAL
OF due on promissory note and an
assigned account. A writ of attach
ment was issued.

Andrew J. Volstead, father of the pro-
hibition enforcement act, will be op-
posed for reelection in the November
election by the man who defeated
This contest in the Seventh Mime
This cntest in the Seventh Mime
sofa congressional district rivals in
interest the three-cornered fight for
the United States senatorship, in
which a woman-Mrs. Anna Dickie
Olesen-has been setting the cam
paign pace for her two male oppon-
ents.
Prohibition is not an issue in the
contest involving Volstead, for he will
be opposed by the Rev. o. j. Kvale
OF Benson, who declares himself "as
dry as Volstead with little to spare"
Mr. Volstead has the endorsement of
the republican district convention,
while both the democratic and the
farmer-labor conventions endorsed
the candidacy of Rev. Kvale. In
1920, as the candidate of the Nonpart-
isan League seeking the republican
nomination, Rev. Kvale nosed out Mr..
Volstead in the June primary by IT,
369 votes to 15,059. Then charges of
violation of the state corrupt prac-
tices act against Rev. Kvale were sus-
tanned, the nomination was declared
vacant, and the republican district
committee selected Mr.. Volstead as
the republican candidate.
With the approach of the fall cleo
tion that year, the Kvale faction cir
culated petitions that enabled him to
file as an Independent, and in q
three-cOrnered race-a Democratic
candidate having entered-Volstead
polled 36,822 votes; Kvale 35,370, and
the Democratic candidate, 1858.
This year, with Kvale bearing the
democratic endorsements it will be
a finish fight between Kvale and Vol
stead and the question lies in what
the old nonpartisan--now
er-labor-organfzati has been
able to retain.
Two years ago, women were e1-
ceptionally active in the interests of
Mr.. Volstead, and it was admitted that |
their vote figured in determining his |
success.
If the Kvale forces have been able |
to hold their strength the issue prob
ably will rest with those voters who
cast a democratic ballot two years
ago. With the democratic convention
Kvale forces expect to
corral the greater part of this demo-
cratic vote.

TALLY threshed out at the DOdgeville
Sunday baseball game trial The de-
tense contended that baseball was not
game" within the meaning of the
statute. That, in fact, high court de-
cisions had held that the word game"
applied to immoral contests such as
gambling. The prosecution just as
vigorously contended that baseball
was game" citing decisions to that
effect. In general it seems to be
fact that convictions cannot be OBJ
tanned for alleged violations of the
Sunday observance law. On the other
hand the legislature, importuned as it
| is by religious organizations, lacks
| the courage to repeal the statute
| This seems to prove the faulty Of the
argument that if a law is not popular
| it should be observed, in the mean
time working for it's repeal. This law
cannot be enforced, creating disre-
spect for law, yet it cannot be re-
, pealed. The argument does not hold
water.

The Galena power plant of the In

running on coal that costs $13 a ton.
For a considerable time the company
was able to conserve it's coal supply
by buying current from the water
plant at Pra .du Sac but low water in
the rivers is making hydro-electric
power problematical. Despite the
heavy cost of making power with coal
at $13, where ordinarily it is laid
down at about 81, the company is not
allowed by contract with its consul
mers or commission rules to raise its
rates. AS a result ultimate consum-
ers are using electric current at
point below the cost of production.
The Galena plant uses 5000 tons OF
coal a month.
