I The musical numbers on the pro gram were especially pleasing, the patriotic selections rendered by the 1. O. O. F. orchestra of 15 pieces, and by a quartette, being in keeping I with the occasion. The quartette ' was composed of Misses Allie Hlack and Mabel Krynn. and Messrs. F. C. t Fitzpatrirk and Walter Fisher.

Sheriff George Quine, who was unable to attend the annual conven tion of the Oregon Sheriffs' Associa tion because of business matters needing his attention here, this morning received word from Port land to the effect that 1. S. Histrict Attorney Heames yesterday appeared before the sheriffs and gave them ex plicit Instructions as to how to deal J w ith slackers w ho may he appre- i hen'teil in this stale. "Seek out the slackers and bring them to justice," was tin' order re ceived by the sheriff from l'orttand. The V. S. District Attorney also showed the sheriffs how they could otherwise assist the Govern ment officials during the war. The sheriffs have also decided to put the finger print blent ificat ion system into effect In practically every county in Oregon. Multnomah Coun ty will be the state headquarters for tliis work, and Deputy Sheriff Keck man. of Portland, will have charge of the headquarters bureau. Uecause of the fact that the Hew law providing for the installation of the finger print identification sys tem makes it incumbent upon the sheriffs to pay the expense entai'ed in installing the same. It mav have the effect of delaying adoption of Hie svstem here. Sheriff Quine says he does not feel like expending three or four hundred dollars in install ing this system unless the cost in guaranteed hy the county. Sheriff Hulbnrt. of Portland, was re-elected president of I he Sheriffs' Association for another year. W. H. Stearling and son. W. L. Stearling. left this morning for Pid dle lo spend the day.

As described by the several eye Ailnesscs who testified ut the lu- liiesi, (he accident was caused by the ,licii ot two loaded cars which had trot ten beyond control after being toaded at I he bunkers on the stde . rack.

He hud just taken hold of the brake wheel when the crash came. He was thrown down on the track between the two stationary cars and one of the latter and the two runaway cars passed over his body. He was dragged about one hundred feet along I he rails, and died almost instantly. A. YV.
