EXPLOSION STORY
TOLD BY GILMORE
Some Workman With Imag
inary Grievance Blamed
for Attempt on Life.
NOISE BRINGS. QUICK AID
Wife of Logging Camp Superintend
ent Still Conrined in Hospital
From Injury Received When.
Home Is Blown to Pieces.
VANCOUVER. Wash., April 19.
(Special.) "Some man working at the
camp, who had an imaginary grievance
against me must have been the tone
who put the dynamite under my bed
and attempted to blow my wife, two
children and myself into eternity," said
.1. A. Gilmore. superintendent of the
Xehnlem Timber & Logging Company,
at Chapman, Or.
Mrs. Gilmore, who w&s the worst in
jured of the family, did not have a
pood day today and doctors believe she
may have several ribs fractured. She
will recover, however, unless compli
cations set In.
Mrs. Gilmore was taken to St. Jo
seph's Hospital, In this city, last night
nnd Mr. Gilmore arrived about mid
night. In reviewing the events of the past
24 hours. Mr. Gilmore today said: My
family and I had been out visiting
earlier in the evening. My wife re
turned to the house and I went to the
commissary car. a few feet from the
house and was working there until
after 9 o'clock. My wife could look
out of the window and Bee me In the
commissary. She looked out several
times and one time saw a man watch
ing me through the window. He
backed away, but my wife did not tell
me this until after the explosion.
Wife Awakriu, Puts On Hlnga.
"Finally I went into the house, sat
down and emoked a while and we went
to bed about 10 o'clock. In a little
w hile Airs. Gilmore got up and put on
her rings, which she had forgotten and
left on the dresser.
"When we were both sound asleep
a terrific explosion awakened us. We
were thrown high in the air and
dropped back again covered with
debris, glass and splinters. My wife
called to me, 'I've had an awful night
mare, where are we?"
" "You're not hurt, but lie etill, don't
move.' I cautioned her. as I was ex
pecting to be shot by the man who had
put the explosive under our bed. I
thought he was on a hill nearby, and
if I lighted a match, or lamp, he wouW
take a shot at me.
"My wife, in a few seconds, began
to rub her body, and, feeling the blood
pouring from the gash in her back,
could not be restrained , from moving.
'I've been shot she cried.
Trained Xone -Arrives.
"In a short time the night watchman,
who had been past my house at 12:40
o'clock on his 30-minute trip, arrived
with a lantern, and it was not long
before a dozen people, in their night
clothes, came to our assistance. Mrs.
George Graham, a graduate nurse, who
has a small farm nearby, was the first
aid to the injured, and her assistance
was most welcome.
"Going into the next room after I
had extricated myself and wife from
the debris over our wrecked bed. I
limped into the next room to look for
our children. Robert. 13, tho older
boy, had been dazed and was standing
in the kitchen, his eyes closed. Henry,
only B, was not awakened, but lay so
still that I thought he was dead.
Glass, splinters and pieces of furni
ture were all over the bed, but he es
caped without a scratch.
"Later, I examined the mattress on
our bed, which, by the way, was ex
ceptionally heavy. I found that a
piece of the floor was forced through
It. and It was this that penetrated my
wife's back.
Two Previous Attempts Made.
"Two attempts had been made be
fore to injure me, once on March 27,
when coal oil was thrown on the front
and back doors and porches and set
on fire. It just so happened that my
next door neighbor had a sick .baby,
and was up at the time, 3 o'clock in
the morning, caring for it, when he
noticed the lire.
"I am going back and investigate this
to the very bottom. I have never had
quarrel with any of the men. If
they had tried to kill me only I would
not have cared so much, but when they
tried to- get the whole family, I can
not see the motive."
The clock in the office, 200 feet dis
tant from the Gilmore home, was
stopped by the concussion at a minute
and a half after 1 o'clock. 3ut the
alarm clock in the- house that was
wrecked was carried from the -dresser
and landed right side up on a chair
and did not stop running.

FRUIT OUTLOOK IS GOOD
DISTRIBUTORS' OKKICIALS WILL
VISIT SOUTHERV ORKGO.V. .
Willamette Valley Growers Also to
Hear of nana for Year to Dispone
of Apple nnd Berry Crops.
HOOD RIVER, Or., April 19. (Spe
cial.) Wilmer Sieg and H. F. Davidson,
sales manager and president, respec
tively, of the North Pacific Fruit Dis
tributors, left today for Southern Ore
gon and the Willamette Valley, where
meetings will be held at the principal
fruit centers to inform growers' asso
ciations of the plans of the distributors
for the coming: year.s Mr. Sicgr said
that the distributors are optimistic over
tho outlook of market conditions and
the crop prospects In all districts.
"The distributors," he said, "have not
only held the tonnage handled by them
the past year, but have increased it for
the coming year.
"Prospects look good i n all the
Northwestern districts. It is the opin
ion that Hood River is nearer the ab
solute assurance of a full crop than
any other district. We have no frost
damage to fear here nor losses by pos
sible drouths."
During the past week the distributor
officials have been meeting with the
Transcontinental Traffic Association at
Spokane, for the' purpose of readjust
ing tariffs. A minimum apple weight
will be established.
"Heretofore," said Mr. Sieg. "the
average minimum weight of a box of
apples has been 60 pounds. We think
that it is probable that this will be re
duced to 49 pounds, which will mean a
saving of $6.30 on every carload of ap
ples shipped. The total saving next
year will reach about 200,000."
The local strawberrry crop was han
dled last year through the local Apple
Growers' Association without the aid
of the distributors. The central agency,
however, will take charge of the ship
ments this season, which will begin In
carload lots about June 1. Mr. Sieg
will be located here in the interest of
the local strawberry growers, while
Mr. Davidson will go to Spokane. Paid
representatives will be stationed at
Omaha, Butte, Minneapolis and as far
east as Winnipeg.

mately between May 15 and June 25)
and is expected to continue until snow
drives the crews out next Fall."
The territory embraced includes sev
eral townships in Clearwater County

her two daughters, Victoria, aged 8.
and. Ellen, aged fl. were drowned, and
Sven A. Gimre, the woman's husband,
escaped with a broken wrist.
. The family had just started out for
a morning rfde. Mr. Gimre was driv
ing the machine and his wife and
daughters occupied the rear seat, as
they traveled along Commercial street
at a moderate rate of speed. When
they arrived a short distance east of
the railroad station the rear wheels
began to skid on the streetcar track,
and before it could be stopped the ma
chine plunged across the sidewalk,
through the railing and leaped over
board. The car fell about 20 feet and
landed bottom up In six feet of water.
Victim Pinned Under Car.
Gimre managed to extricate himself.
Although one arm was useless on ac
count of a broken wrist, he clisng to
the wheels until help arrived. He is
suffering from a nervous whock. Tha
other members of the family were
pinned beneath the machine. '
Persons who witnessed the accident
sent an alarm to No. 3 engine-house
and the fire department quickly re
sponded. Fireman Setten Jumped over
board and rescued Mr. Gimre. He then
tied a rope on to the auto's running
gears and the crowd that had gath
ered pulled the machine onto its side.
Then Mr. Setten made a dive and re
covered the bodies of the three vic
tims. Physicians were summoned and as
quickly as possible the three women
were moved to a hospital. Although
every possible effort was made to
resuscitate them life was extinct. They
had been In the water fully 30 minutes.
Son Drowned 6 Months A(o.
All the victims had bruises about the
head which indicated they had been
struck by something in falling' and
were so badly stunned that they could
not help themselves.
While apparently not seriously in
jured. Mr. Gimre is at a hospital under
the care of physicians and his mental
condition Is such on account of the
shock that he is unable to tell a con
nected story of the accident.
The only son in the family was
drowned six months ago. This makes
the entire family, with the exception
of the father, wiped out of existence
by drowning accidents In a short time.
The machine was removed from the
water this afternoon and Is not badly
damaged.

Senator Borah Causes Inter
est to Center on Politics.
FOLLOWERS AWAIT ACTION
Frowning Down Miniature Boom for
Presidential Nomination and An
nounced Republican Loyalty
Give Course Importance.
BOISE, Idaho, April 19. (Special.)
Senator Borah's stand in frowning
down the miniature boom started by
his Idaho friends and political ad
mirers for the Republican Presidential
nomination in 1916. has centered In
terest on politics In this state. Sen
ator Borah made it plain that the ac
tivity of his friends will hamper his
efforts, for better legislation for the
West and that he proposes to carry
on his fight within the Republican
party.
The Progressives gave Senator Borah
their support at the last election, and,
while Idaho's senior Senator will not
be a candidate at the coming .election,
having a six-year term ahead of him.
Republicans are awaiting with some
anxiety what action he will take here
toward placing the Republican party
on the road to another victory. He
is confident that a solution to the tax
burden can be worked out within the
party.
Proirresslvea Cans Worry.
The actlvjty of the Progressive
party is causing worry, politically, to
both old parties. The fact now that
Guy Martin will be the Bull Moose
candidate for Governor eliminates him
as a possible non-partisan candidate
forthe Supreme Bench. It is no secret
the two old parties would have liked
to have him run for that place. Martin
polled 24.225 votes against Governor
Haines 35.026 at the last election.
His backers declare that with the tax
burden the Issue next Fall Marttn wCLl
be found an opponent not easily dis
posed of.
That Martin's opponents will be
Governor Haines. Republican, and M.
Alexander, of this city. Democrat. Is
probable.
Governor Haines is not considered a
prohibitionist. .He has made It plain
to his close political advisers that If
the Republican party declares for
state-wide prohibition he will stand on
the plank, and if the Legislature en
acts such a law he will sign it.
Bull llooier Feared.
The Bull Moose, aspirant Is known
as a dry and fear Is ex-pressed that
ne will get the entire prohibition vote.
Mr. Alexander, however, is also a pro
hibitionist. The withdrawal of John P. Vollmer,
the prominent Nez Perce County busi
ness man, as a candidate for Governor
on the Bull Moose ticket has relieved
the Progressive party of some em
barrassment, for Mr. Vollmer's sym
pathies were with the wets.
Paul Clagstone, who is looked upon
as one of the Progressive party's can
didates for United States Senator, is
well known as a former Republican.
He lout the Republican gubernatorial
nomination at the last primaries by
Just 12 votes.
