Supreme Court Enjoins King County
Board of Education From Depart
ing From List Prepared tT
Statc Board In. 1000.
OLYMPIA, Wash., July 29. (Special.)
The Supreme cJourt in a decision Impor
tant to every school district in the state
today reversed the King County Superior
Court and ordered an injunction to Issue
against the Board of Education of King
County prohibiting them from departing
from the list of text-books prescribed by
the State Boar dof Education in 1900.
The King County board had rearranged
the schedule of books, and the Rand
ilcNally Company applied for the injunc
tion on the ground that the action of the
board Impaired a 'contract entered into
with them by the state board for furnish
ing certain of the schoolbooks adopted
for the entire state. The judgment "was
in favor of the board, but the "Supreme
Court in reviewing the evidence concluded
that the rearranging of the .schoolbook
schedule reduced by 20 per cent the num
ber of books that would have otherwise
been furnished King County by the com
pany. It holds that the recent act repealing
the uniform text-book" law does not re
voke the five-year contract entered into
by the state with the Rand-McNally Com-
pany in xaw, mat evidence aaaucea in
the trial as to the educational value of
the books selected by the State Board of
Induction was immaterial, inasmuch as
no fraud or collusion was alleged.
The court finds that the contract be
tween the state and the company must
not be impaired by the acts of county
boards, and therefore orders the Issuance
of the injunction.
STREXTHBXS TAX TITLES.
Waliinsrtou Supreme Court Affirms
Lotver Court.
OLYMPIA, Wash., July 29. A decision
by the Supreme Court -which adds strength
to all tax titles that have passed on real
estate in Washington since the enactment
of the law of 1S99, was handed down by
the Supreme Court in a Thurston County
case today. The main paint of the de
cision is that taxes will not be declared
void by the courts because of failure on
the -part of county officials to observe
technicalities or perform purely minister
ial duties prescribed by law.
In the case decided today the County
Treasurer for the purpose of issuing a
certificate of delinquency, divided the
taxes assessed against certain real estate
owned by several parties. The certificate
-was Issued to Stella E. Smith, who paid
the taxes owed by David Mitchell and
wife, and she later brought the suit to
foreclose the certificate. The County
Treasurer, in dividing the taxes, had not
sent the registered notice of such division
that the law prescribes shall be mailed to
the other owners and the Mitchells for
that reason contended that the tax cer
tificate was void.
The lower court found against this con
tention and the Supreme Court, In affirm
ing the judgment, says that the courts;
should Insist that -a showing be made that
an injury incapable of being corrected has.
"been liride before "they declare a tax to be
void. There was no showing of the kind
In the case at law.
Should Used Diligence.
OLYMPIA, Wash.. July 29. (Special.)
The judgment of the Superior Court of
"V hitman County dismissing ,the case of
W. D. Irwin, appellant, vs. Greenville
Holbrook, respondent, was affirmed by the
Supreme Court today.
The evidence showed that In 18S4 Irwin
purchased certain real estate for $2200.
This he transferred In 18S5 to Holbrook to
sell and pay debts amounting to $1100. In
October, 1S90. Holbrook had platted and
sold all the lands "and when Irwin asked
for an accounting declared that the net
proceeds of the sale were only $600.
Irwin waited for more than six years
before examining the record of deeds in
Whitman County, when he discovered that
the lands were sold for much more than
the amount of the debts, and thereupon
brought this suit.
The Supreme, Court holds that the stat
ute of limitations began to run from the
date of the alleged fraud rather than from
the discovery thereof, as by reasonable
prudence and diligence In exnmininc
easily accessible records the appellant
could have discovered the truth of the
respondent's statements as to the amount
ixjc laaus som ior. vine judgment is there
fore affirmed.
MOXEY IX WKOXG FUXD.
Idaho Attorney-General's Opinion
Benefits State Schools.
BOISE, Idaho. July 29. (Special.) Attorney-General
Bagley rendered an opin
ion this evening , respecting premiums re
ceived by the past administration on
bonds issued for various purposes. All
such premiums were placed in the general
fund. The Attorney-General holds that
the premium on certain school bonds was
incorrectly placed in that fund. The act
authorizing the issues specifically direct
ing that the entire proceeds of the bonds
should go to the schools. As a result the
present administration will have to trans
fer the amounts to the schools inter
ested. The schools thus benefited are:
Lewlston Normal School, $424.80; Albion
Normal, $6S9; Academy of Idaho, $1325.
The State Land Board today took sev
eral Issues of school bonds, amounting to
550.000. the money being from the sinking
funds found to have been illegally created
by the Legislature at sessions prior to the
last. The total amount of school funds
other than those ofNthe common school
fund, thrown into the care of the board
for investment under the decision recently
reached, is some $700,000, but the board
feels confident it will get It all out soon.
The Investments so far from these funds
amount to 5110.000.
A singular complication was met with
In the accounts from Ada County. For
five years the County Treasurer has
turned the proceeds of all land sales and
leases into the common school fund,
whereas part of the money belonged In
other educational funds.

stantly killed tonight by a slide of earth
in the southern end of the Great Northern
tunnel, -which is under construction be

Smith, an American laborer; Joe Clarlo
and Francheskl Vorgeske, two Italians,

MANY BLOWN TO DEATH
(Continued from First Page.")
men, three of them employes of the com
pany, three expressmen and two carpen
ters, were sent there -with three large ex
press teams to take out the powder and
mend the floor. Two of the teams had
been loaded, and the other was almost
full when the explosion occurred.
Canse of tke Explosion.
It was a long time before the actual
cause of the explosion was ascertained.
It was at first ' thought that every one
within a radius of 50 feet ot the magazines
had been killed, but later It was found
that Clarendon Goodwin, the foreman of
the men who were loading the powder on
the teams had survived, together -with one
of his assistants, Amadee Boulanger. and
this afternoon the latter was seen at the
hospital. He said the men went down to
the magazine nearest the street to fix the i
floor, and after the teams had been load
ed with the powder which was in the
magazine, it was discovered that a can of
nltro-glycerin, which was stored In the
magazine, was leaking. Mr. Goodwin
picked up what he thought was a Jug of
water and began uouring it onto the
nitro-glycerin, -with the idea of diluting it
and washing It up. As soon as the fluid
from the Jug struck the floor, he found it
was nitric acid. The floor at once began
to smoke, and when the men saw it they
rushed from the building, but had not
gone ten feet when the explosion oc
curred. This magazine, therefore, -was the
first to go up, followed by the gunpowder
In the three teams, and some seconds
later by the second magazine.
Explosions Xambcr Five.
To those who heard the crash it seemed
as If there -were two distinct explosions;
with a continuous roar between them.
There are, however, five holes in the
ground, -which seems to clearly Indicate
five explosions.
The entire catastrophe, however, hardly
occupied the space of five seconds, but- In
that time the surrounding property -was
swept as If a small volcano had broken
forth In Its midst. Every house within 200
yards collapsed. Trees were blown down,
the grass -within 100 yards mowed as if by
a lawnmower, while bricks from the two
magazines were hurled far across the
river and all over the neighborhood. For
several minutes afterward the air was
completely filled with smoke and dust. Il
luminated by the glare from the already
burning houses. ,
The -work of rescue at once began, but
In many cases the flames had already
gained full sway over the crumbled ruins.
and several persons were burned to death
before the debris -which covered them
could be removed.
Carinjr for the Dead.
The property Is situated Just over the
Lowell line In Tewkesbury, but the Lowell
fire department did noble work in caring
for the wounded. Before a stream of
water was started from the engines, the
corpses were taken out .and the bodies
were placed in the -wagons and hurried to
the hospital.
Ambulances soon appeared on the scene
and assisted the firemen, and all sorts of
vehicles were pressed into service. Near
ly 40 persons were taken to the two hos
pitals -within half an hour, while many
more, -who"se Injuries were slight, had
their wounds dressed and remained on the
scene, where they assisted in caring for
the less fortunate.
Militia Called Oat fo Keep Order.
The explosion shook the city, ana with
in half an hour there were at least 5000
persons on the scene. The crowd so bad
ly interfered with the work of caring for
the wounded that the Mayor sent out a
militia caU. Three companies responded,
and three hours later had thrown a cor
don of men around the district and
cleared the place, of every one, except
those immediately engaged In fighting the
flames and searching for victims.
Two hundred- yards further down the
river from the second magazine the fire
men suddenly came across the bodies of
four little boys, who were about to have
a swim.
Apparently the force from this second
magazine was expended in two directions,
north and south. On the north it com
pletely demolished the house of "William
Riggs, about 50 yards away, almost bury
ing Mrs. Riggs, and badly Injuring her
little son. Mrs. Riggs died before being
taken to the hospital. On the other side
of the magazine was a grove of trees,
through which the explosion tore a path
50 feet wide for a distance of nearly 300
yards. The four little boys were caught
in Its path and three were instantly killed.
the body of one of them being frightfully
mutilated, the head having been complete
ly blown off. The fourth was alive when
he was discovered by the police, but did
not live long.
Most of the property destroyed consisted
of small buildings, constructed of wood,
and at a comparatively small cost. The
property loss will not be heavy.
The select men of the town of Tewkes
bury believe that $15,000 will cover -the en
tire loss.

PRUNEGROWERS PLEASED
Members of "Willamette Asuoclatlon
Satisfied With Combination.
SALEM, Or., July 2S. (To the Editor.)
The writer notes an article in The Ore
gonian ot the 23th, headed "Prunegrowers
Combination," which requires a word in
reply, though it Is not our purpose to
enter into any controversy over this mat
ter of prunegrowers associations, as we
prefer that the result of the work should
speak for Itself, through the well-plSased
membership of the organization.
It is only necessary to attend one of
the growers' meetings at Salem to be
fully ctyivinced that those growers who
have tried the "very dangerous excite
ment" are more than pleased, in fact, are
enthusiastic concerning the result in dol
lars and cents to themselves.
I am not surprised In the first place that
"Fruit Dryer" does not sign his name to
the article he writes, lest It should at once
become apparent that he Is many times
more Interested In the prune industry as
a buyer than as a ciryer, and further
more, the misrepresentations In the article
would not appear well over one's own sig
nature. Fruit Dryer states that the co-operative
plan as applied to all fruit other than
raisins in California has proved a losing
proposition In every Instance. Would ho
undertake to prove the failure of the
Santa Clara Fruit Exchange and the
various organizations of a similar nature
in and around San Jose? Does he know
that this one exchange mentioned handled
14,000,000 of prunes last year to the entire
satisfaction of its members? The "Salem
plan" (so called) has been in operation
three years, instead of two. as he states,
an6 Instead of operating under "most fav
orable conditions" has had the most stren
uous sort of opposition from both growers
and buyers, but has lived and prospered
and proved its right to a very high place
in the business industries of the city, as
well as to the fullest confidence of the
growers who are Its members.
Not the least of Fruit Dryer's incorrect
statements is that "Growers In Clark
County are being approached by persons
from Salem with the view of starting a
co-operative plant at Vancouver." Let me
set him right on this point and I am
done. On July 11, twO'Of Clark County's
representative growers appeared at the
association office, claiming they were
sent here to Investigate fully the meth
ods of the Willamette Valley Association
on behalf of the 'growers of Clark County.
It happened to be the date of our annual
meeting, and they were so Impressed with
what they saw and heard that they
offered to pay the expenses necessary If
the directors would send their secretary
to Vancouver to meet their grower
friends. In the interest of falrplay and
the truth,
