TRAIN CREW IS
HELD RESPONSIBLE
at this point is not protected by
a slow board. We further find
that it has been the general cus
tom to exceed the speed limit at
this point, and that tin's fact has
been known to the said McCurdy
he having taken no precaution
by reporting the facts to a supe
rior officer. We further find that
Conductor Cass, in charge of
this train, was criminally negli
gent in not paying proper atten
tion to the speed of his train,
allowing said train to approach
this dangerous curve at a speed
in excess of the speed limit."
Coroner's Jury Reports
on Railroad Wreck
SPEED LIMIT-WAS EXCEEDED
Roadmaster Was Criminally Negligent
In Not Stopping Train Track
Was Not In Safe Condition
t Hi.
its
The coroner's jury investigat
ing the cause of the wreck on
Oregon Trunk has finished
labors. The verdict in part
i i as follows:
"We find that Engineer Myles
was exceeding the speed limit.
We do also find that Assistant
Roadmaster McCurdy was crim
inally negligent, in that after
checking the speed of the train
he did not pull the air cord and
set the brakes, as he knew this
to be a dangerous point, not suf
ficiently ballasted and practically
being a skeleton track at the
point of derailment. And we
further find that the track was
in an unsafe condition as to its
gauge and that said gauge was
known to McCurdy, roadmaster
in charge of the track.
"YVe further find that the track
STARVING DOG EATS
MASTER'S BONES
While hunting bear near Lava Lake
on the Upper Deschutes recently, W.
I P. Vandervert and sons made a grew
j some find. In the cabin formerly oc
! cupied by John Fawcett, an old trapper
who lived a lonely life in that region,
they found a portion of his remains in
his blunkets, death evidently having
occurred months before. His dog,
whiih ia thought to Ijave eaten tho
body, was found at the, cabin and ia
believed to have been there alone for
about seven months.
ADOPT PHONES FOR
' TRAIN DISPATCHING
Another Western Road tb Dis
patch its Trains by Telephone
The Oregon Railroad and Nav
igation company has recently
J placed an order with the Western
I Electric company for telephone
equipment for a circuit extend
ing from Portland, Oregon, to
I The Dalles, Oregon, a distance
of 90 miles.
Today the telephone has sup
planted the telegraph on over
48,000 miles of track on the rail
roads of this country. Most of
the large trunk lines are using
the telephone, and 13 oi them
have over 1000 miles thus
equipped. At a recent conven
tion of the Railway Superintend
ents of Telegraph, held in Bos
ton, everyone of the seventy-five
delegates were positive that it
was only a question of a few
years when the telephone would
largely, if not entirely, supplant
tne telegraph ior use in connec
tion with the handling of train
movements. That the Oregon
Railroad and Navigation company
has adopted this uptodate method
of handling its traffic is signifi
cant. It is further proof that
the telephone will eventually
take the place of the telegraph.
For Township Plats
The Pioneer office has arranged
with the Hudson Land company
of The Dalles to take orders at
Madras for township blue prints,
etc. The price of these plats is
fifty cents each. This company
can supply promptly corrected
plats of any township in The
Dalles land district. The Hudson
company is also doing consider
able business in the way of hand
ling the purchase of isolated
tracts for the applicants, which
work they do at a very reason
able fee and thereby save the
applicant the expense of a trip
to the city, and several days
time as well. Read their new ad
in this issue.
