VANCOUVER, Wash.. Sept. 7. (Spe-
mie me crowd was not so
large today as yesterday at the Co
lumbia River Interstate Fair and Wild
"West Stampede, the events were more
exciting- and daring-, since the con
testants had become better acquainted
"with the arena and more accustomed
xo the animals.
Tomorrow will be a big day, and ar
rangements have already been made to
Jiandle the crowd. There are two fer-
jius operating all of the timje acros
me Columbia River, and will continue
0 or the remainder ot the week. The
music irom ine terry to the Fair
grounds is only S cents and automo
biles are making the trip for from 10
to 25 cents.
The Wild West stunts'' grow in in
terest. Saturday the results of each
days events will be added and the win
ners announced, when $5000 in gold
purses will be distributed.
Racen and Hoping Excltlog.

the acre.
Lake Shore Granite Interest.
The display of the Lake Shore Grange
is attracting great attention, particu
larly the fruit.
While the department managers say
that it is a difficult task to arouse
much interest in livestock, especially
horses, there Is much blooded stock on
exhibition, and many pass their time in
the livestock barns instead of watch
ing the more exciting events on the
race track. The poultry show is the
largest ever held at the fair.

ver Harbor and win be for the remain
der of the week, and the public is in

BOY BELIEVED DEAD LIVES
Scalded Child, Cnable to Breathe,
Saved by Heroic Treatment.
NEW YORK, Sept. 1. Frank Caruso,
four years old. had been declared to
be dead in St. Vincent's Hospital, when
he was restored to life by a quick but
heroic effort. He probably will re
cover. While his mother was in another
room of their home at No. 118 Thomp
son street, :Frank went into the kitchen
and became -urious to know what was
boiling in a id.rge kettle on the stove.
He pulled the kettle of scalding wa
ter over on himself.
As he screamed the water ran into
his mouth and he inhaled it into his
lung3. The scalded throat swelled so
quickly and to such an extent that by
the time Er. McElvary arrived from St.
Vincent's Hospital the child could not
breathe and his face was becoming
purple.
At the hospital efforts were made to
insert an instrument in the throat, but
it was swollen so that this was im
possible. By that time Frank was mo
tionless, and as Dr. Philip F. O'Hanlon,
who was in' the hospital to see private
patients, passed the operating-room a
nurse came out and said the boy was
.dead.
Dr. O'Hanlon. who has had years of
experience in emergency cases while Et
Bellevue Hospital and as a Coroner's
physician, looked at the child and ad
vised that an oiled rubber tube be
tried. This was done, but it would
not go down through the throat.
"Give me a pair of forceps quickly,"
Dr. O'Hanlon said. As a nurse brought
the forceps several persons in the room
who had held the boy's pulse and had
observed him said he was dead.
Dr. O'Hanlon seized the child's
tongue with the forceps and pulled it
so far out that swollen throat was
opened to a sufficient extent to admit
the oiled rubber tube. This was shoved
down into the lungs, and then the work
of artificial respiration was begun.
The result was that within a half
hour Frank was breathing almost nor
mally and had recovered consciousness.
With a special arrangement of band
ages to hold the tube in the throat.
B'rank was sent to a ward and the
hospital physicians, under Dr. Cox, the
house physician, began the work of ap
plying healing sedatives to the scalded
throat.
At the hospital full credit was given
to Dr. O'Hanlon for having saved the
boy's life, but when that physician was
asked about it he was not inclined to
discuss the case, except to say that
the child was as near death as a hu
man being can be when his life was
saved.

TRAIN STRIKES MACHINE

Car Is Hurled Against
Telegraph Pole.
MONTAGUE, Cal., Sept. 7. (Special.)
Aram T. Anderson, deputy collector
of customs, at Astoria, Or., his mother,
Mrs. Margaret Anderson, and his cousin,
Aaron Anderson, were killed today
when their automobile was struck by
a passenger train at the Granada cross
ing of the Southern Pacific Railroad, six
miles from here. Mrs. A. Y. Anderson
was perhaps fatally injured.
Mr. and Mrs. A. Y. Anderson were
married only recently and were on a
honeymoon trip to the Exposition at
San Francisco.
The approaching train was hidden
rom the party by a row of trees and
a toolhouse. It was evident that the
driver killed his engine directly on the
track In an effort to reverse. The
car was struck fairly in. the middle
and hurled atainst a telegraph pole,
the occupants being thrown out. One
body lay 65 feet from the car when
first aid was offered by a physician who
was a passenger on the train.
A. Y. Anderson lived only half an
hour after the accident, dying on the
train before it reached Montague. Mrs.
Margaret Anderson died 20 minutes
later while being hastened to a hos
pital at Yreka.
TRAIN OF LUMBER READY
SHIPMENT IS ONLY THIRD
GRAYS HARBOR ORDER.
aiaterlal Going; Direct to Baltimore.
Other Districts Lose 5ale Be.
. cause of Magnitude.
HOQUIAM. Wash., Sept. 7. (Spe
cial.) One-third of a rush order for
lumber, which no other single mill or
set of mills in the entire country could
handle, will leave Hoquiam tomorrow
in one train of 34 cars. This will be
the largest special tralnload of lum
ber coming entirely from one mill ever
shipped from the Pacific Coast, accord
ing to railway officials. ' The lumber
is from the Grays Harbor Lumber
Company, of this city. The total order
is for 3.000,000 feet and goes to a syndi
cate in Baltimore and is for use in
the construction of a large plant there.
The company needed this amount of
lumber, for the most part clear, to com
plete its plant and wanted It by Decem
ber 1.
Efrorts were made in the cypress
districts of the South to place the order,
but the buyers were told it could not
be filled by even a combination of the
mills in a year. Next the order was
offered to Edward Hines, of Cnicago,
and the Northern pine district, and a
similar reply was received. The buyers
then turned to the Pacific Coast.
At first it appeared that only by a
combination of mills of the Northwest
could the order be handled. Finally,
the buyer was sent to the Grays Harbor
mill of this city, and this con'cern was
able to handle the entire order, having
a large part of the lumber cut and
under shed. Since Friday morning
1,000,000 feet of clear lumber has been
loaded on one train, which will leave
this city tomorrow over the Milwaukee
line and will be billed direct through
and will make practically passenger
time to the Atlantic Coast. The other
trains will leave as soon as the Eastern
buyers arc ready to receive them.
