"It will be a sad blow to those unfor tunate people who see in It an oppor tunity to better their present condi tion of helplessness. We have cone as far as posishle with the limited t u ti da at our disposal to convince the public that this measure is a neces sity from both a humanitarian and an economic standpoint. I believe the measure will be adopted because it has received strong support from al most every part ot the state and has met no opposition.

Evidently each train had been hid den from the engineer of Hie other un til they were within 200 or 300 fee! of each other on the single track. The forward coach of the fastgolng train from Hlllsboro bored Into and through the vestibule of the forward car of train 107, lifted It slightly and shoved It partly off the track. But the lifted end of this trout car of the out bound train from Portland sheared through the forward car of train 124, crushed the vestibule and continued on for about a quarter car length into the conch.
