FATAL CRASH IN FOOL
Two Trains In Minnesota Collide
and
Four Men arc Killed.
St. Paul, July 29.- Two train met
in a head on collision on the Chicago
Great Weturen this morning and the
result is four men killed an 1 25 cr 30

The two trains were ton Twin City
Limited and a fas, freight. The
limited was running aa a first section to
Minneapolis. The sucoud section con
sisted o! an excursion traia running
from lies Moines to Minneapolis and
was three hours behind time. The
fast freight, southbound, received an
order at Dodge Center reading that the
secon . section of the passenger train
was three hours late and the trew evi
dently misread the order and attempted
to make Vlaisty Siding, between Podge
Center and Hastings, Minn., thinking
that it was the limited that was late.
Meanwhile the limited was poind
ing along at regular speed ml met the
freight head-on just after it had
rounded a curve at Vlasity. The morn
ing was loggy and neither engineer saw
the other in time to stop, although the
engineer of the limited had applied the
air brakes.
That the I wo trains came together
with terrific force was evidenced by the
fact that both engines wer oadlv dam
aged and the baggage and buffet cars
we.e completely wrecked. The bag'
gageman was buried beneath a pile of
trunks when the car was lifted off the
track, but was taken out uninjured

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
NEW LAND LAW DEFECTIVE.
State Board Bclitvts Old Act Still In
Operation.
Application han been made to the
Htate land board for the purchase of
a tract of school land located within
the boundaries of on of the proposed
rorr-Bt reserves in Eastern Oregon
mis land has been withdrawn from
sale by Ihe state land board for thf
reaHon that If the reserve should be
created the land would probably be
more valuable for "baHe" than foi
nal as school land. The applicant it
thla cane contends, however, that the
board has no rltsht to refuse to sell
any school land when the legal price
--" per acre, has been tendered.
The state land board, In considering
tne question, has dUcovered that
there is a defect In the title of th
act of the last legislature which
makes It doubtful whether the leglsla
tur raised the price of school lant"
to 2 -m per acre and required the
board to Hell at that price. The title
of the act refer only to Indemnity
land, while the act Itself applies tr
lioth. Indemnity end school land
The board is Inclined to the opln
ion mat go much of the act at
applies to school land Is inop
erative. and that the old law i
still in force on that subject. The old
law authorized the board to sel
school land at any price not less thar
J1.2o per acre. Undr that law the
board could withdraw the land froir
Kale, or could fix the price at I2.S0
which was Intended by the legisla
ture.
If the land should be placed. In
forest reserve, and could be used as t
base. It would be worth fc an acre
For that reason purchasers are anx
ious to get It. and the state land boarr"
ii desirous of holding it. The que
tion of law involved will be submit
ted to the attorney-general for hif
opinion.
Work Begins on Expensive Barn.
n ork has comnaem.-ed on the new
and modern $7000 barn to be erecteC
on the grounds of the Eastern Oreeor
experiment station at Union. Thr
first story will be constructed of cut
stone, and the superstructure of wooo
Twelve men are now employed layina
the foundation. The building is lo
cated on the southern part of the 620
acre farm owned by the state, anc"
not far from the main line of the O
It. & N. where it rounds Hutchinsnr
Point. The building will have cement
floors and will be of a very pleasinr
architectural design, and will be usee1
for experimenting in the development
of thoroughbred livestock.
Crops In Lane County.
While there has been much com
plaint about unfavorable weather and
many farmers have expressed the be
lief that crops of all kinds would be
light, there la now a change to the al
truistic view of the situation In Lane
county. Conditions are turning out
much better than anybody believed
few weeks ago. probably the most
elated of all the producers are those
who have orchards. Conditions for
years past have been more or les
discouraging to the horticulturist and
only the strong hearted have been
able to bear up against the repeated
failures of prune crops especially.

APPROPRIATION SHORT.
Money to Pay Indian War .Veterans Has
Been Exhausted.
The appropriation of $100,000 made
by the laat legislature for the payme-nt
of the Indian War veterans will all be
elha,i8teS, by tne Pment of claims
already fl ed, and over 300 claimants
must wail until the next legislature
aLPr,Pi'ateg money before they VaS
et their pay. The unpaid claims will
aggregate some $50,000. so that the
total amount paid out on this account
will be $150,000. As It had become
apparent In the last few days that t
appropriation would soon be exhaus
fd. Secretary af State Dunbar asked
he attorney-general for advice aa to
the course he should pursue with re
ard to the claims that come In
the $100,000 has been expended
Attorney-General Crawford has re-7-
hlfd.han pinion ln whlcn he held
hat be secretary of state has no a ,
'hority to audit the claims or Isr" e
arrants after the appropriation in
exhausted. This means that until the
eglslature makes another approprTa
'.Ion those whose claims are not at
Zl0n, fl'.e ,n the office of the sec
retary of state will have no lesal
Jlalm against the state. A
2398. l the Code Provide
hat the secretary of state shall not
"sue a warrant except when an .
iropriatlon is available for the ly.
nent of the same. It also provides
that where a claim has been IncurrM
n pursuance of authority of law but
io appropriation has been made or
s made, has been exhausted, the'sed
i certificate as evidence that the
lalm has been allowed. The atir
ley-general holds that the Indian war
lalms do not come under any of
hese classes and that, therefore the
ecretary hag no power to ifssue 'war
arits or even certificates. He can do
lothing but receive the claims nd
:eep them on file until the next leels
ature meets, when he will report
hem to that body for their consider
ttton. The Indian War veterans- claims
vere not Incurred ln pursuance of
my law of the state of Oregon, but
ere Incurred under the ' territorial
rovernment. The United States gov
rnment assumed all the Iaibilitles of
.lt!rritor7 wnen the sta'e was ad
ultted, and for that reason the vet
rans had no legal claim against the
tate. The appropriation Is held
herefore. to be the measure of the
imount for which the secretary mar
mdlt claims. '
