VANCOUVER. B. C. June J 9. Tlte lo
comotive of the Great Northern Seattle
express, due in Vancouver- at 3:45
o'clock. Jumped the track at 3:10 this
afternoon while crossing the Fraser
rtlver Westminster bridge. The engine
and tender went into the river and
;eorsre iCelgwid. engineer, and "V. D.
Hnyder, fireman, -were drowned. Both
men belonged in Seattle. No passen
gers were Injured.
The wreck was caused by an open
switch.
Kotir cars filled with passengers were
left standing on the hrlnk of the trestle
over which the engine and tender had
). lunged. The escape of the passengers
from death was miraculous, as little
more than the length of one car sepa
rated the switch point from the edge of
the trestle.
That the entire train did not run into
the river was undoubtedly due to the
fa;t that as soon as the air connection
was broken when the tender went over
the brakes on all cars were set auto
matically. The accident occurred while
the train was running slowly.
When the engine and tender went
over Into the river the combination
baggage and mallear was left standing
on the brink, its front end hanging over
the river.
It Is declared by eye-witnesses of the
accident that when the locomotive
struck the water the boiler exploded.
It Is said that an immense cloud of
steam and water was thrown high in
the nlr.
Neither the engineer nor the fireman
wns seen after they went Into the river.
The cab of the engine was torn off and
flnatod away on the swift current. The
river where the engine went down is
40 feet deep.

KI.K CITY, Or.. June 19. (Special.) Mr. and Mrs. M. W. Simpson
who celebrated their golden wedding anniversary at their home here
June 14. are both pioneers of Oregon. They were married in Polk
County in 1S.19. Mr. Simpson crossed the plains from Arkansas in 1843
at the age of 7. Mr. Simpson's mother, who is 94 years old, still lives
on the old donation claim near Airlie, Or. Mrs. Simpson crossed the
plains from Missouri with her parents in 1854. She is now 56 years
old. Mr. Simpson is an expert fisherman and has given Elk City the
feputation of being the best fishing ground on the Coast.
ing County Clerks in this state have al
ready searched their records in vain to
give the letter-writer the desired infor
mation. The letter is rapidly becoming a unique
document and will likely visit every
county in the state before it completes its
tour. It has been torn and pasted to
gether twice already. Accompanying the
letter is a Canadian money order for $1
payable at the "postoffice at Oregon,
U. 8."
The letter reads as follows:
"South River. Ontario, March 17. 1909.
Hon. Sir To the Register office in Ore
gon. Did Alexander Croffard register his
title in your office to Annie Weldrich or
Ann Weldrich can you tell me of its

There is a will of an Alexander Craw
ford in Linn County, and it was thought
this might be the man wanted, as the
letter-writer might have spelled by sound
in writing 'Croffard." But the record
shows that the Alexander Crawford whose
will is here does not answer the man in
quired about in the letter in any particu
lar. In fact, there is a radical difference
tin every point., so the letter was indorsed
"Nothing doing in T.lnn County." and
sent to Ira Wade. Clerk of Lincoln
County, who . will be the twenty-sixth
man to receive it.

Clear Title to Mining Property.

ROSBBURG, Or., June 19. (Special.)
Ixical ofTicers place little credence in the
report that K. J. Prteus, manager of
the Rogue River Mining & Development
Company, is dead, having received the
assurance that he lives. 4
Late developments in the case are to
the effect that Porteus left West Fork
on the day of his mysterious disappear
ance in company with a. woman, both of
whom bought tickets to Portland.. It is
not thought, however, that they intended
to go to Portland, but simply purchased
tickets in an effort to elude suspicion.
Since investigating the company's af
fairs at the mines, it has been learned
that Porteus left a small bank account,
at the same time cashing a draft for $200
sent him by the company to use in secur
ing affidavits in a pending contest as to
the mineral or agricultural character of
claims on Paradise Bar. In letters to the
company. Porteus is said to have alleged
that he expended the J200 in settling this
dispute. Tills assertion is denied by De
tective De I. a Monte, of L.os Angeles,
who alleges that Porteus did not spend
the money in the manner alleged.
Local officers assert that Porteus is in
