safety valve was released. He
was scalded on the back and
neck and sightly injured inter
nally, but his condition is not
considered critical.
A special train was made up at
The Dalles and physicians were
hurried to the scene of the acci
dent. The injured were taken
to a hospital in that city late that
afternoon.
Heroic work was performed by
uninjured members of the train
crew and passengers.
S. L. Arthur of Seattle, one of
those badly scalded, rushed to
ward the Deschutes riyer, 200
feet away, screaming in agony.
Fellow passengers, seeing that
he intended to jump into the
stream, hurried after the crazed
man and pulled him out of the
river just in time to save his life.
A special to the Oegonian
from The Dalies says:
That Engineer Thomas Myles,
of the Oregon Trunk southbound
train No. 102, wrecked near The
Dalles Monday, will be held re
sponsible by a coroner's jury for
the wreck that has claimed the
lives of six persons, was given
out here tonight. A. S. McCurdy,
roa Jhiaster of the Oregon Trunk
line, testified before the jury
at scene of the wreck that he be
lieved the train was running at
least 50 miles an hour when the

ROAD VIA GOVE IS
ALLOWED BY COURT
Upon Condition That County Stands
Only Half of Expense
At the last term of the county
court the petition for the road
through the Cove Orchard prop
erty, crossing Crooked river and
also the Deschutes to the terri
tory west of the latter stream
was allowed by the court, upon
the consideration that the county
would be required to stand only
one-half of the expense. The
other half will be undertaken to
be raised by the interested par
ties. Residents at Culver are
taking an active interest in the
matter, and it is understood the
railroad companies will also as
sist materially in getting the
road opened, it will give an
outlet to a considerable territory
tha.t has hitherto been practically
cut off from communication.

contest. During the week July
14-20, thev tire going to issue
votes according to the regular

schedule published in the paper,
but at the end of the week they
are going to issue extra votes at
the rate of 5000 for every sub
scription each candidate has
turned into the Contest depart
ment during the week. It makes
no difference whether the sub
scription is a new or old one, for
a long term or short, they all
count the same toward the extra
ballot.
To the girl who expects to win,
this offer should mean much. It
should be an easy matter for any
of the contestants to earn an
extra ballot worth 100,000. It
simply means that she must turn
in 20 subscriptions of all kinds
together. Those who get a good
start this week are going to
make the others hustle to be
even close when the end comes.

OWNERS TO KEEP
KEYS HEREAFTER
Saloonmen Not Be Required To Give
Marshal Custody Over Sunday
At the meeting of the city
council held Tuesday evening
that portion of the ordinance re
lating to the closing of saloons
12 .o'clock Saturday night which
required the proprietors to turn
over their keys to the marshal
until the following Monday morn
ing, was rescinded. The effect
of this order was only to cause
trouble and inconvenience for
both the marshal and the saloon
men, and upon protest from the
latter the council decided to let
the proprietors be the custodians
of their own property.
This trail took a general
over the hills to a point
on the Warmspring river, forded
the river about two miles above
its mouth, to the north side, and
continued on to the railroad at
North Junction, where the Ore
gon Trunk crosses the Deschutes
to the east side, and were there
lost. That is all that has been
learned, but even his closest
friends and relatives feel certain
now that he is alive and has
simply gone away.
What motive prompted him to
take this peculiar course is all
that is puzzling the people of
Madras, as there is no known
reason why he should want to go
away, and even if he did desire
to go, he was free to do so with
out taking this way of doing it,
and leaving his family and friends
distressed with the doubt of
whether he is, dead or alive, or
whether he has become de
mented. The latter suggestion, however,
is receiving but little credit, for
the reason that he was tracked
to the railroad, and the direct
course taken would indicate that
he had in mind what he was do
ing, and in case he were mentally
unbalanced he would have been
found and be under care long be
fore this.
Building Large Lumber Shed
Construction of additional shed
room is now under way at the
yards of Tum-A-Lum Lumber Co.
Manager Will Esselstyn states
that when finished the new shed
will have a total length of 150
feet and that it will have a stor
ing capacity of 25 carloads, This
will enable the company to put
practically all of its lumber stock
under shelter,
