that the accident "was caused by car No.
116 running at a dangerously high rate
of speed and leaving the track while In
charge of Motorman F. I. Boehm and
Conductor J. B. Calhoun.
"And we further And that said F. L.
Boehm was grossly careless in operating
tho car, by starting over a long and
dangerous grade at an excessively high
rate of speed, thereby immediately losing
control of his car and failing to regain
such control by the correct manipulation
of the mechanical and electrical appli
ances furnished for the control of the
car.
; "And we further find that the said Ta
coma Railway & Power Company was
grossly and criminally careless and negli
gent In permitting said Motorman F. L.
Boohm to go out on car No. 116 over said
dangerous grade without any previous ef
fort to ascertain his efficiency on said
grade.
"And we further find the Tacoma Rail

criminally careless and negligent In main
taining said dangerous grade without in
stalling any safety appliances, when the
necessity of such appliances had been
fully demonstrated by. a previous accident
to a freight train at the same point, al
though from personal inspection we be
lieve such safety appliances are perfectly

"And we further find a general and
reprehensible lax and careless condition
exists in the maintenance of the track and

Power Company that should be corrected

COXNECTIOTf OVER THE RAXGE.
Corvallls fc Eastern to Benefit the
State by Building Eastward.
ALBANY, July 14. Great Interest is
taken In the articles In The Oregonlan
about the connection between Portland
and the "Willamette Valley and the great
Inland country east of the mountains by
means of the Corvallls & Eastern and
other railroads. At the head ofllce of the
Corvallls & Eastern the fact is appre
ciated that while the Columbia Southern,
being built as a feeder to the O. R. &
2f., will bo of great benefit to certain
portions of the eastern part of the state,
the extension of the Corvallls & Eastern
Is needed to bring closer together the
eastern and western parts of the state
and unite in closer ties the commercial
Interests of the two sections, something
no other road now projected can do;
hence the need of securing for the road
all the concessions possible in order to
enable the company to secure the money
required for the extension of the road.
Rev. James Thompson, of Brownsville,
who recently returned from Europe, was

SUCCESSFUL FIELD MEET
BEST SPORT EVER SEEN AT GLAD
STONE ASSEMBLY.
Larue Crowd Was in Attendance
Lecture on Know Nothing Paxty
Chalk Tallc and Music.
GLADSTONE PARK, Or., July 14. The
attendance at the Willamette Valley

gratifying, far exceeding any previous
day this Week. Almost every seat in the
large auditorium was filled this afternoon,
and many stood outside. The field meet

nounced the most successful and Interest
ing event eyer held on the grounds. Dr.
Charles McClary gave a lecture this fore

President W. C Hawley gave a com
plete resume of the life of the Know
nothing party, before his class In Amer
ican history, this morning. He gave a
summary of the causes that led to the
formation of tho Know Nothing party;
told of its secret but rapid strides into
prominence, and its sudden decline In the
zenith of its glory because of its lack of
set principles. Mr. Hawley first called at
tention to the heavy immigration of Irish,
English and Germans to this country be
tweon 1S30 and 1540; how the first that
came were desirable citizens settling in
the "West, but later with the better class
came tho riffraff of Europe, who settled
in New York and the seaboard cities or
manufacturing towns. In these days the
immigrants were not Inspected, but were
permitted to land and live under any con
ditions. The greatest Influx of immigra
tion came In the period from 1S40 to 1SS3,
on acconut of political disturbances in
Europe. Political parties stood the newly-arrived
immigrants In lino and made
them naturalized citizens In short order,
causing many native-born citizens to be
come alarmed when it was observed that
Tammany, a great secret political organi
zation of New York City, was rewarding
these so-called "patent" citizens with of
ficial placo and giving tho riffraff remu
nerative employment on street Improve
ments and public works. It was but nat
ural that these newly-made citizens would
revere the organization that was giving
them something far better than they had
expected to find In this country. Native
born citizens were thrown out of employ
ment by the foreigners, and the feeling
against tho latter spread all over the
country.
During the period of 1S40-1S there were
many riots in this -country over political
matters; the Mexican "War, the question
of slavery In the territories, the "Wllmot
proviso and tho discovery of gold In
California all entered Into the political
problems of the day. The question of na
tlvism became one of general discussion;
secret organizations were effocted, having
for their object the boycotting of foreign
ers as to preferment In official positions.
However, the real beginning of the Know
Nothing party was the founding of the
Native American party in Louisiana In
1S4L which spread to other sections, but
It was not until 1851-52 that tho party at
tained much prominence.
President Hawley gave a detailed ac
count of the plans of the organization of
this secret political party, which at first
did hot have a name. It was styled by
Its enemies the Know Nothing party, on
account of the secret words and evasivo
replies of Its members. The severest tests
were given those who went through tho
ordeal of initiation Into the lodges, the
applicant for membership being In all in
stances native-born, and 21 years of age
bedng the lowest limit. The Know-Nothings
had no platform, no principles. They
compromised on the slavery and other
questions to suit the voters of ei'ery sec
tion. Their first victory was the elec
tion of the Massachusetts Legislature in
1855. Only one member of each of the
other parties was elected a clergyman
was elected president of the Senate, and
a mechanic speaker of the House. There
were but few lawyers among the legis
lators, and none of the members had had
experience in Legislative matters. Junket
ing committees were sent over the state
at the expense of the Treasury, and a
banquet was served, at which champagne
flowed like water, although the Know
Nothings had previously declared against
the use of liquors, except for medicinal
and mechanical uses. Tho next important
move of the Know-Nothings was the
nomination of Millard Fillmore for Presi
dent, and Donaldson for Vice-President,
at the meeting of the grand council held
in New York in 1854. The ticket was
overwholmlngly defeated. "When the Na
tional Republican convention assembled
at Pittsburg, Pa., February 2S, 1836, tha
following dispatch was received from the
Know-Nothlngs in National council at
Philadelphia:
"The American party Is no longer a
unit The National council has gono to
pieces. Raise the Republican banner.
The native Americans are with you."
"The Know Nothing party." said the
speaker, "was rot organized on the laoues
Of the day; it died for lack of eenro;
failed to livo up to its opportuni
ties, and tried to stand on threo etdes
of sCavery. The Know Nothing party,
however, did a good work. It broke up
the old parties and enabled the people
to form a now party the Republican
and it elected Lincoln President. "When
tho Know Nothing party disbanded. It di
vided its property, giving ltsr votes to the
Republicans and its secret work and par
aphernalia to tho Democrats."
Monday morning President Hawley will
lecture to his class on the second nomina
tion of Lincoln.
Mrs. Lucia, Addlton presided at the "W.

P. L. Fountain, th8 newly appointed
Deputy Sheriff, was placed in a very
embarrassing predicament Tuesday morn

low, who is under his custody and keep
ing. When Mr. Fountain opened the Jail,
about 6 A. M-, to give the prisoner a
hot cup of coffee, morning hash, etc,
young Wlnslow greeted him with tho
glad hand and yanked him Inside the
Jail, locked the door, and passed on out,
leaving the officer to devour the boun
teous spread all by his lonesome. How
ever, the Deputy Sheriff managed to
arouse the neighborhood with his plaint
ive cries for help, and was soon set at
liberty. In the meantime the Jailbird
had reached Ling River, north of town,
and started to swim across at the mouth
of the lake, and was overtaken by parties
in a rowboat and brought back to Jail,
much -refreshed by the morning exercise.

gold-standard law is in effect and will
remain in effect throughout tho coming
administration." Thanks for the assur

age in its cruelty.
