i man, rather than commit the doubly-
grievous sin which confronts her.
Portland, Aug. 1. J. W. Akin, sole
survivor of the accident that took
the lives of six men at the Columbia
county rock crusher, six miles from
St. Helen3 yesterday morning, was in
Portland today and told the story of,ottf
.1.:. attempt.
11 was at me mourn oi tne tunnel
in which seven cans of black powder
had been loaded in a 'TV he said,
"juBt a few minutes before the ac
cident." Henry Lewis, who was in tihe tun
nel with Voss, Winchell and Ham
mer, asked me if I would not take
the cover off a can of powder that sat
20 feet from the mouth of the tun
nel. I started to do as he requested
and had just bent over the can wfhen
the explosion took place. Fine dirt
and rock were thrown all over my
back and legs and the ground Bhook
so much that it was almost impossible
for me to stand.
"I turned and saw stones and dirt
pouring out of the mouth of the tun
nel wiHh as great velocity as if shot
from a cannon. When the dust
cleared away I went to the mouth of
the tunnel. Lewis had been near the
edge of the opening, and Keelan was
directly at the mouth when I saw
them last before the explosion. They
were nowhere to be seen. The rock
in the tunnel had been caved in and I
could not see any traces of the men,
who I knew 'had died inside, except a
few bits of flesh and scraps of torn
clothing.
As soon as l couki steady my
nerves I found a telephone and called
for help from St. Helens.
Body Blown Quarter Mile.
"Keelan's body was torn in two and
found almost a quarter of a mile from
the mouth of the tunnel. Young
Lewis' body was found torn to pieces
150 feet from the opening. The other
men who were inside the 24-foot
depth when the explosion occurred
could not be found except in small
pieces, and this morning not all of
the pieces had been recovered and
Walking 13 miles backwards over a
canyon and mountain trail was the
feat accomplished by Milton Biegel of
Ashland. The distance was covered in
less than six hours and two chums i
went along to note the success of the
St. Paul to Have Corn Show.
Preparations are already being
mad for the Fourth Annual Corn
show to be held in St. Paul in Novem
ber. Over 500- acres are devoted to
corn raising in this Willamette valley
vicinity.
BIG
MOMENT FOR
BARRISCALE
BESSIE
Confronted With a Double Sin, She Is
Forced to Wreck Her
Own Heart
On the verge of invading another
woman's home because of her love
for that woman's husband, Ethel Du-
prey finds that the wife she is about
to wrong has befriended her in her
hour of greatest need.'
Here is a situation to try the emo.
tional powers of any actress. Bessie
Bnrriscale has the role, in the Trian
gle-Kay Bee picture, "The Last Act,"
which will be seen at the Arcade
theater tonight only, and her perform
ance docs full justice to the unique sit
untion the playwright has conceived.
As an actress out of work and out
of money, Miss Barriscale is seen in
the earlier moments of the play, con
sidering her hopeless situation while
seated on a park bonch. A big
hearted woman, passing, notices her
and stops to ask if she can be of any
assistance. The girl is too proud
to accept help, but the woman never
theless slips a bill into her purse, un
observed. Then Fate does its share. The
gift starts the young actress on an
upward career, at the height of which
the husband of her benefactor falls in
love with her. He begs the girl to
elope with him, and marry him after
he has arranged a divorce. She asks
time to decide.
In the years between, she has per
sistently sought to learn the identity
of the woman who befriended her.
The wife of her admirer comes, to
plead with her to give him up and
it is fhe woman she has been seeking.
The actress breaks her own heart
by writing a note of farewell to tho
