Unusual Records.
95 SCORED AT SKIRMISH
Portland Man Wins Trophy Match,
While Skirmish Event Goes to Eu
k gene Marksman and Civilians
' Win in Pistol Competition.
Firing on a bullfye the size of a
human head from a distance of V yards.
National Guard markesmen look up the
first event In the annual rifle competition
yesterday forenoon at the Clackamas rifle
range. And the winners in the match
made It clear that heads protruded above
an enemy's trench -would soon cease to
be serviceable.
With 11 hits In the center of the tar
tret out of IS shots. Ave each at 200. SOO
nd 6no yards. Flrnt Srseant J. Matson
of B Company. Portland, won the first
event, the trophy match of the National
Rifle Association of America. One of the
competitors. Corporal C. P. Romaine.
also of Portland, performed the remark
able feat, durlntc this contest, of drivins
five shots straight Into the center of the
bullseye at 010 yards. That feat won him
nothing, however, as he fell a trifle short
at 200 and 30 yards, while Sergeant Mat
son held up at each of the three ranges,
making 21 at y yards. :i at 300 and 24
t SCO yards.
Eocene Man Wins Trophy.
To a Eugene man went the Butterfleld
trophv match, consisting of a skirmish
I run. Sergeant R. I Perdew. of Company
A. Fourth Infantry, winning the skirmish
with a score of 95 out of lrt possible.
' That score would have gotten Perdew
into place In the annual National rifle
competition of last year when Ym of the
test riflemen In the Army. Navy. Na
tional Guard and Marine Corps failed to
develop a half doin experts who could
make a better skirmish than 95 on the
B target.
In the skirmish event nearly every
one of the 120 riflemen In camp were
entered, and six relays on IS targets
were required. When It Is considered
that the run commences at 600 yards
and la proceeded with by rushes on
eon, to 200. requiring changes of ele
vation In the sights at e-ch stage, the
achievement of making 95 points out of
300 appears as one worthy of note. Ser
geant Romaine took second place, with
a score of 93. and Major F. B. Hamlin,
of Roseburr. got third place, with 91.
To a civilian competitor went the
11-comers- revolver match. Many civil
ians were on the range and took part In
the rifle events without making scores
that would do credit to a recruit, but
or. the pistol range two civilians beat
the guardsmen at their own game, win
ning both flrst and second places.
Ceorge W. Wilson, of Oregon City, won
flrst place, with a score of 44 out of 50
yolnts possible, while John Jodvig. of
Portland, get second place, with a
core of 42. Sergeant W. G. Pearmlne.
o' the Fourth Infantry, flnlshed third,
w:b a score of 42.

Th morning the most Interesting
events of the annual meet will be taken
j:p The state team and state individ
ual matches will occupy1 the day. and
nr'l! be the hard-fought battles of the
competition. Several of the Third In
fantry team are confident of winning,
and several of the Fourth' Infantry
teams are equally sure. No one is will
ing to risk much betting on any par
ticular team, as there is every Indica
tion that the entire programme is to be
lull of surprises. An altogether unex
pected rifleman will take the individual
championship, it Is predicted In many
quarters.

NEW MiLLS ARE ERECTED
WALLOWA COUNTY IMPORTANT
LUMBERING CENTER.
Combined Output of Mills for Tear
Is 80,000,000 Feet Timber
- Will Last 100 Tears.
WALLOWA. Or., Aug- 1. (Special.)
With one sawmill, capacity oO.onO feet a
day. nearly ready to begin sawing, and
seven smaller ones In the country tribu
tary, each with a capacity of from 8000
to 20.000 feet a day and all busy on full
time, Wallowa has secured another im
portant factor toward becoming the fore
most lumber market of Eastern Oregon,
by the location here of the Bear Creek
Lumber Company, a corporation newly
formed and which ha just purchased 2500
acres of the best timber to be found in
thia county. The land lies on Bear
Creek, nearly all southeast of this city
and will be milled on Bear Creek about
two miles above this city and hauled to
Wallowa lor shipment. A mill with a
capacity of about 40.000 feet a day will
be erected this Fall and begin sawing
early next Spring.
The Nibley-Mimnaugh Lumber Com
pany is now erecting a mill with a capa
city of BO.OfO feet a day and will begin
logging in September. Seven other mills
in the surrounding country, owned re
spectively by the F. D. McCully Co.,
McGlaughlin & Williams. W. F. Bisen
beia, Lathrope Bros., E. A. Bishop St
Son, John Huber and Sherod & Akers
are marketing their lumber at Wallowa.
These mills average from 8000 to 25.000
feet a day, and this, coupled with the
cut of the two big mills will mean more
than 30.000.000 feet of lumber marketed at
Wallowa within a year's time. Even
at that rate, it will take 100 years to
cut out the timber tributary to Wallowa
The incorporators of the Bear Creek
Lumber Company are: W. C. Pursejl, a
prominent lumberman and capitalist of
Boise, Idaho; G. E. Romney and M. R.
Taylor, tooth prominent capitalists of
Salt Lake City, and Clles and Burke
Plass. experienced sawmill mon of Elgin,
Or.; Plass Bros, will have charge of the
mill and logging operations. A big pond
will be Dirt in.
Couch & McDonald secured the deal
for Wallowa and state that they have
a number more applications for mill sites
that they will be able to supply in the
near future.

bank ten feet high. Its occupants were
carried with it. and the car rolled com
pletely over them, landing upright be
low. They were crushed by its weight
Into the soft, sandy soil, wnose yielding
nature saved them from anything more
serious than a few bruises.
The car struck bottom ' with such
force that three wheels were broken.

Xot a Moment's Warning.
Statements of passengers show that
no one had even a moment's warning
of the disaster before the crash came.
Charles Osborne, of Freeport, IM
says:
- "We had no time to jump. The front
seats were swept back, pinning us Into
a small space, while those In front were
thrown in a heap on top of the passen
gers In the rear. The whole front of
the train seemed to reach back at us,
and, almost before we knew It, we were
burled In wreckage.
"Everybody behaved most heroically,
even the badly injured offering to help
others. I did not see a person In the
smoking car who was not hurt."
Mr. Osborne himself was hurt In the
chest and legs, while his wife was bad
ly cut and bruised.
Arrangements for the burial of the
dead are delayed pending" word from
relatives in different parts of the United.
States. Until the Coroner's inquest to
morrow to Investigate the cause of the
accident, bodies will not be permitted
to be removed.
Mrs. C. A. Launceford, of 828 Knox
avenue, Spokane, one of the injured
victims, says that when she recovered
consciousness in the wreckage, she was
held down under the body of a man
whose skull had been crushed, and she
heard someone saying:
"Leave them alone; they are dead;
get out the live ones."
"I was unconscious from the moment
the crash came," she said, "and when
my senses returned I was pinned under
the body of a man with his skull
crushed. People started to take us
out of the car. but then somebody
cried that we were dead and to let us
He there. Finally I worked my way
out from under the body that held me
down and from the debris of the car.
When I got out the oar was almost
empty, everyone else having been re
moved. I believe It was at least five
minutes after the collision when I got
f re.
C. B. Heywood, a deputy In the City
Treasurer's office, was tiding with
County Auditor R- W. Butler, who was
badly hurt-
"We were standing In the aisle of the
car. hanging to the seat and straps
when we heard the emergency brakes
applied." he said. "I don't see how the
collision could have occurred. The motor
man could not have left the station with
out receiving his orders from the con
ductor. It is my theory that the east
bound train waa late and that our motor
man thought he had time to make
another siding after passing that at
Lacrosse."
Mr. Heywood's bruises were painful
and one eye was discolored.
Today, on the scene of the wreck,
artlclea lost by the dead were picked up.
In a bloody pool, wrinkled and crumpled,
was found a soiled yellow envelope ad
dressed to James W. Witten. superin
tendent of the land drawing at Coeur
d'Alene, enclosing the application of A.
P. Whitley, of Memphis, Tenn., aged
S3, height five feet six inches, weighing
160 pounds. It was the. last time the
man signed his name. He left a bride
In Tennessee to take a chance In the land
drawing. A kind-hearted conductor picked
up the envelope, stamped It and mailed
It hoping that hla wife might draw a
piece of land.
Dr. Dyer, of Illinois, who was on board
the Ill-fated train, worked with several
ribs broken, caring for the injured, re
fusing to be taken to the hospital, de
claring that there were others more
seriously injured than he, who needed
help or they would die.
P. M. Waters, of Pleasant Lake, N. D
who was Injured in the clash, said:
"We boarded the train at Coeur d'Al
ene for Spokane. We reached Lacrosse
when we felt the air brakes taking effect.
The next moment we had crashed with
the other train. Many became uncon
scious, I found myseU silting upon the
telescoped portldn of the car, with my
feet broken ana weagea in, umure 11 w
myself until the 6ide of the car had been
chopped out. Our train was going about
25 mites an hour when we struck. Three
dead men lay on each side of ma"
Greed Shown by TJndertakers.
While people were hastening to the
scene of the wreck to render all assist
ance possible to the injured, eyewitnesses
assert that one of the undertaking firms
in Coeur d'Alene in Its anxiety to get
hiislness. hurried two drays to the scene
and took possession of nine or ten bodies
and hurried them away to tneir rooms.
No sooner had the news reached Coeur
d'Alene, when the rival company hur
ried its conveyances and assistants to the
wreck. The greed said to have beegi
shown by the undertakers in hurrying
the dead away has caused much Indig
nant comment by residents of Coeur
d'Alene and friends and relatives of the
dead victims.
When tha other company sent Its con
veyance to the wreck to bring the bodies
to the city there were but one or two
left. Three bodies were hauled on one
dray, while another wagon hauled four
bodies, it is asserted.
Smith jfe Co.. undertakers of this city
have charge of the work for the Inland
Empire system, and are preparing to
take care of the dead tnrougn an unaer
taker in Coeur d'Alene. Arrangements
for burial are in abeyance awaiting news
from friends and relatives living in dif
ferent parts of the United States.
FARMERS HOLD SESSION
DR. WITHTCOMBE ADDRESSES
MEETING AT VALE. ,
Tells People There They Have Finest
Alfalfa He Has Seen and Advises
as to Methods to Be Followed.
VALE. Or., Aug. 1. (Special.) The big
farmers' institute held at Vale 1-Tiaay
night was a great success. There was
no meeting In the afternoon as originally
planned, owing to sickness here and the
non-arrival of Dr. Kerr, president of the
Oregon Agricultural College, who was
unavoidably detained one day in Burns.
His absence was very much regretted,
vet the able way In which Dr. Withy-
combe and Professor Lewis handled their
subjects made the meeting no less inter
esting and Instructive.
J. Edwin Johnson, of Vale, called the
house to order and introduced Dr. Withy
combe. The latter began hla remarks by giving
a short history of the Oregon Grange
and the wonderful things it has accom
plished. He said:
"During the 16 years of Its existence
in Oregon It has virtually revolutionized
agriculture in the Willamette Valley
where they really have more obstacles
than the Malheur County people. The
only obstacle you have Is the scarcity of
water and that question will soon be set
tled and then you will have a magnificent
country.
"In all my travels over the country
I have never encountered such luxuriant
alfalfa as I did today In the Malheur
Valley. The growth it had made is won
derful. I know of no spot In Oregon
that can compete with you In the raising
of alfalfa. I believe that your bench
lands, when watered, will be the greatest
alfalfa producers in the state. It is my
belief that they will not be excelled even
by the great North Takima country."
At the close of. Dr. Withycombe's re
marks Professor Lewis took the floor
and dealt almost entirely with the fruit
industry. He said: "Fruit growing brings
people to a country, and that is what
you want. Your soil is wonderfully
adapted to fruit raising." He said in
buying trees to always buy 1-year-old
trees, as in that way they could be
trained in any way desirable. He advo
cated making the tree head 18 inches
from the ground.
In regard to frost, be said it was profit
able to fight frost in an artificial way.
This could be done by burning pots of
crude oil in the orchard about sunrise.
This process would cost about $5 per
acre, but where the yield is 300 per acre
It is profitable.
The remarks made by these men were
most beneficial to the farmers and land
owners of this section.

Flying Baldons, a boy and girl, who did the
most daring and amasJng stunts on the
trapexe. The entire performance was clean,
rapid, novel and entertaining, and deserved
the Immense crowds-which packed the Star
Theater throughout the day.
Today at the matinee special religious or
historical pictures will be added to the reg

will be run.
HAD DISPOSED
OF HIS BODY
Last Fall Rev. L. H. Watrous, of
Ionia, Mich., was so Tow with Diabetes
that he could only rest under the .In
fluence of hypodermic Injections of
morphine, and he laid for six weeks
close to eternity.
We now skip to Way S, 1909. He
says: "I write to let you know that
apparently matters are moving quite
well. I still have the dull feeling on
my right side, but my strength is bet
ter and I can walk around the yard.
I look better in the face and I am
much better in every way. I have taken
eleven bottles of the Diabetes Com
pound and have two left, and have
no disposition to stop the treatment.
Would it now hurt me to take a ride?
My hopes are a great deal brighter
than they were and I think I stand a
good chance of recovering. Just be
fore I went on your compound I had
balanced my books and had made all
arrangements for the disposal of my
body, etc., as the doctors said I could
not get well. Now I wish to thank
yon all for the kindness you have
shown and the hope your medicine has
Inspired. Tours very truly,
REV. L. H. WATROUS.
Meanwhile the books go on saying
Diabetes is incurable and unfortunates
in homes and hospitals all over the
country are in the depths of despair
for lack of knowledge of this treat
ment. We are announcing recoveries daily,
but the prejudices of the past are out
grown but slowly, and thousands of
lives more must be sacrificed before
the knowledge of 4hls treatment be
comes universal.
Throw a life line to some despairing
friend by sending us the name and
address. Literature mailed free. Write
the John J. Fulton Company, 212 First
Btreet, San Francisco, Cal.
For Diabetes get Fulton's Diabetic
Compound. We desire to hear from
and advise with all cases not yielding.
