ENGINE TURNS TURTLE Four Coaches Wrecked and Thresh ing Machine Damaged Injuries of Engineer and Fireman Not Thought to Be Fatal. GARFIELD. Wash., Aug. 7. (Special.) Northern Pacific passenger train No. 10, Spokane bound and due at Garfield at 1:42 P. M., was wrecked at a point about one mile east of this place as the result cf a collision with a threshing engine owned by Bowman & Dyer, local thresher men. The engine was crossing the railroad track at a point where a curve obstructs the view of the approaching train, which was making up lost time and was going at a rapid speed. On this account it could not be brought to a standstill In time to prevent disaster. The threshing outfit was completely demolished and tbe t engineer and fireman thereof badly, al though not fatally Injured. The fireman of the passenger engine Jumped, but the engineer stuck to the cab until his engine had gone down the embankment. Four of the coaches were derailed and badly damaged and the track was torn up for a considerable dis tance. The tender was completely turned over and the engine turned upside down. The injured are: Elmer Vetter, engineer of passenger train, shoulder broken and head slightly cut, also Internally injured. B. Nelson, fireman passenger engine, ankle and shoulder dislocated and head bruised. He is married and lives at Spo kane. Alva A. See, engineer of the threshing engine, shoulder broken, head cut and Injured internally; his home is In the Ep ler block. Seattle. Claus Knopp, fireman of the threshing engine, bruised and one leg disabled; in juries not considered serious. His home Is at Garfield. The wreck took place about two miles north of the Cedar Creek wreck on t?ia same road last Spring, where two en gineers were killed and two engines total ly disabled. More Survey Work. VICTORIA, B.

PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE. Yesterday's Results. Can Francisco. 6. Los Angeles. 2. Standing of the Clubs. Won. LoM. Los Angeles 2 40 Oakland 62 P. Pan Francisco ....59 M Portland 40 07 Pet. .574 .MO .527 .374 Old Jupe PIuvlus had an edge on Port land yesterday and by deluging the ball park made it impossible to play the ball game scheduled between the scions of Mc Credle and Van Haltren. While the rain disappointed the fans to a certain extent it gave the ball tossers a chance to hold a few fanning Dees, -uunng tne wet and sloppy after noon tne players congregated at the dif ferent fanning headquarters and joked each other about the Initial appearance on the diamond of each player. In this respect Methuselah Van Haltren, the veteran manager of the Oakland team, ana Kea Dog Devereaux, his third base man, had the edge on the rest of the players because, with the possible excep tion of Rip Eagan, they had been playing Dan before the others saw the light of aay, ana because of the well-known ability of the Oakland trio, the younger generation had no come back at the tales the others would see fit to tell. If an Haltren, or Bill Devereaux. or Truck Eagan would ever open up and inform the public of their actual knowledge of the actions of some of the present dav stars. the tales they would tell would be eagerly .devoured by the hungry fans when the latter are prevented from witnessing a game through the Inclemency of the weather. Devereaux. who conducts a tobacco establishment and a cabbage patch during the period when the umpire Is not calling bad ones on him, refuses to talk for publication for the reason that he has Just set out a few new specimen Ls of the cabbage variety and is anxious to see Oakland again before he is measured for a two-bysix overcoat. This explanation Is given because he is likely to select Pearl Casey and Pat Donahue as his sub jects and Bill says both of the Portland players possess punches on a par with that of Jim Jefferles and as he Is not willing to have his features marred, or to have the fans sadly say: ' "Don't he look natural?" He is satisfied to remain quiet aa to the early career of Donahue and Casey. The Red Dog and Van gently hint to the different "youngsters" of to day at some Incident in their past career when they wanted a display of exuberance to subside and the alacrity with which their wishes are complied with .la truly remarkable. It demonstrates that the average player Is exceedingly chary about the incidents accompanying hia breaking into the game as a regular. Barring the same kind of weather dished out yesterday by "Brer" Beals, the Portland and Oakland teams will enage in an encounter at the Vaughn-street grounds at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon. Carnes, the pitcher Van Haltren secured from Los Angeles In a trade for Red Randolph, will officiate on the slab today for the Commuters and "Lefty" Hartman will be In the box for Portland. While Carnes was with the Los Angeles team he won ten straight games, and since that time his feat has been duplicated by William Hogan, another member of Van Haltren's pitching staff. Young Hogan broke into the Pacific Coast League in 1906, and since that time has made a splendid record. The Bakers field boy is played in the outfield as often as the occasion requires for he is rated as one of the best batsmen on the Oakland team. It is not often that one sees the name of a regular pitcher at the top of the batting order of a team. but whenever Hogan plays the outer garden Van starts him off at the head of the batting order. In addition to being a clever pitcher, the young fellow plays any position; equally as well. Ell Cates, the former Portland twlrler, will pitch for Oakland on lakes' day pro viding that a game is played today. San Francisco 6, Los Angeles 2. SAN FR .CISCO, Aug. 7.

Questions Advisability of Allowing Streets to Be Torn Up Under Expired Franchise. PORTLAND. Aug. 7.-(To the Editor) I am an admirer of the fearlessness and honesty of purpose of Mayor Lane. This time, however, I am a little dis appointed in him in regard to his atti tude toward the tearing up of certain streets in this city. I am Informed that this tearing up of streets Is done under authority of a franchise given to a cer tain Mr. Graden, who has been endeavor ing to fculld a trolley line to Hlllsboro for the past six VPS rn T am I formed that this much hawked around ii'uncnise nas expired.

Mayor Lane says that he has made the Oregon Traction franchise tne subject u.aw8eclaI mes!,nKe to the Council, in which he urged the repeal of the fran chise. He made this recommendation soma time ago but as yet the Council has not seen fit to follow his advice In the matter. The men behind the United Railways who are building the line orig inally projected by the Oregon Traction Company have permits from the City Engineer to lay tracks on Stark, Twelfth and Pettygrove streets. President Lytle. of the United Rail ways Company, says his company Is pushing the work as fast as possible and Is complying in every way with the fran chise to the best of his ability. He says his company has a power plant project of its own which will be developed In due time. He also resents the almost constant opposition the United Railways has encountered since Its inception and says It would be much better for the city If encouragement were given new railroads Instead of all kinds of oppo sition. He says the attitude of manv in the city Is so well known In the East that capitalists fight shy of propositions of fered within the limits of the Rose City but are willing to take up projects out side of Portland. He says this attitude on the part of Portland citizens is In juring the city. Hindoo Prince Goes to Cornell. ITHACA, N. Y., Aug. 7.
