Ry Co. at Houlton this week for Information as to when trains would leave Portland for the east by way of Salt Lake. The ap plication elicited the reply that there were no time tables or other means of Information on hand whereby the agent could satisfy the enquirer. It Is therefore necessary for any per sons who want information about trains, except for the S. P. & S., to write or phone to Portland and It would seem that the S. P. & B. Co. should at least furnish the infor mation of the time of departure of tralna from Portland at 'an office which Is of the Importance of the one at Houlton.

Warren Quick FORMER HELENS Train Near Dallas, Oregon FOE MANY YEARS WAS Companion in Auto Also Meets Death When Auto Stops on Track in Front o! Train While attempting to cross the rall .oad truck at Uowersvllle ahead of a motor cur early yesterday morning, J. Wurren Quick and Fonso Mans ion, two well-known Polk county Itlzens, loHt their lives by the auto mobile In. which they were riding elng ntruck by the motor car on the Salem, Falls City & Western, Ed Hosier, engineer. Mansion was klllel Instantly, while Quick died about an i.our after the accident at the Dallas hospital, whither he had been taken without hope of saving his life, so eiious were his Injuries. Quick's aw and the right side of the face ere budly crushed, the right shoul der was broken, and other Injuries vero sustained. ManBton was liter lly crushed to death. t The automobile, driven by Mr. Quick, was Btruck squarely In the 'enter, and carried a distance of 676 feet before the motor car came to a halt. The body of Mr. Quick, horrib ly mangled was thrown about sixty fuel from the crossing. The auto mobile buckled on the cow-catcher, pinning Mr. Manston between it and the motor, crushing him to death by the compact. About 160 feet from t'.ie crossing a wheel from the auto mobile was found on either side of the track, while the unfortunate men's huts, and the contents of the little Ford car were scattered along the right of way. Hugh Black was a passenger on the motor, and saw Quick's body hurled Into the air. From what information that can bo gathered concerning the accident it is evident that Mr. Quick's car hud come to a standstill on the track after having negotiated an ihrupt grade about three feeet high. This Is a somewhat difficult place to croBs on account of the steep, short grade. It Is the same place where Mark Ulodgett, was struck last week by a local freight when crossing the railroad with his clover buller. The scene of the accident lies In an open country, and both the highway and the railroad are visible for fully Next Wednesday at 11 o'clock a. m. the contest for the piano and the certificates for pianos which "has been going on for the past three months, will close. The interest in tho campaign Is now becoming quite . . . , . , I UCUie ana Uie vuriuus cuuuiunivs are busy among their friends this the lust week.

There is Yet Left Time for the Candidates to Get Many New Subscribers. pnj n ft OEZXO N MEETS DEATH is Run Down by RESIDENT OF THIS CITY half a mile In all directions. This leing the case It is difficult to ac i count for tho accident, other than ; that Mr. Quick believed that he could i cross the track ahead of the car, and the driver of the latter, not counting on the automobile's engine dying, (lid not consider there was danger nnd consequently did not decrease speed. The motor car, It is said, was coasting at the time, but neverthe less it must have been running at a high rate of speed. Following the accident, H. L. Fen ton went to the Quick home In the country, whither the unfortunate men were going at the time they met their death, and Informing Mrs. Quick of the accident brought her to Dallas. Both Manston and Quick were married men, and both were young. Manston was prominent in Dallas lodge circles, being a leading mem ber of both the Oddfellows and Mas onic orders. Quick was a properous farmer and widely known all over the county. Polk County Observer. J.

In 1900 he went to Marshfleld, Tillamook County, Ore gon and engaged in logging oper ations until about 1905 when he came to St. Helens and worked a number of years In the abstract busi ness with his brother E.

D D OE301 JUDSON WEED RE- TURNS FROM EAST Is Well Satisfied with His Ore gon Home Judson Weed of Vernonla spent ti e day In St. Helens today on his way home from a trip to the east Mr. Weed left here on the 16 th of June and visited his old home in OMo for s me time, afterwards visiting relatives In West Virginia, Missouri, Nebraska, lowa and Cali fornia. His brother who left with him has not yet returned but is on Mi way. In speaking of conditions .n the east today Mr. Weed said that generally everything was fairly pros porous among the farmers. A good crsp and high prices have made the eastern farmers well to do while the conditions in other lines are not so good. In the labor world there se sms to be a great scarcity of work and only small wages when work can be had, but his observations were mostly among the farming Interests and he thinks that the eastern peo ple are not feeling the present de pression as are the western people. "Oregon Is the best place I've seen on my trip and I did not see a single place that I would want to stay In." Mr. Weed is the regular Republi can candidate for County Commis sioner and from now until election he wi.l make an active campaign for the success of himself and the Republi can ticket generally.

A LETTER OF EXPLANATION St. HelenB, Ore., Oct. 8, 1194 To the Editor: In order to corect an erroneous Im pression that may become general over the county concerning the change in deputies In the office of Sheriff will you allow me to say to the people of the county that when I was appointed Sheriff by the County Court to fill out the unexpired term of Mr. Thompson, resigned, the Court asked me, as a matter of fairness to all candidates for the office of Sheriff that I should not appoint any candi date for the office as my deputy. I promised that I would not do so and in keeping with that promise and with the understanding that Mr. Lake was not a candidate I appoint ed him as deputy. When It came to my notice that Mr. Lake had re ceived and accepted the nomination for Sheriff on the Progressive ticket I reminded him of the circumstances of his appointment and requested that he either withdraw as a Pro gressive nominee or resign. He choose to make the run for sheriff and there was no course left tor me but to make a change In the office of deputy Sheriff. This Is the reason and the only reason tor the change. Respectfully. C.
