Within a Ftw Mo ments After Cars Crssh Into . Locomotive Standing on tht Main Lino. Au&iist Larson is dead, and Anton Erix and Nels Olson are seriously in jured aa the result of an accident on the Grays' Bay Logging Company "a load. Five trucks with supplies and ma terial had been unloaded and were be ing returned to the supply camps when It was noticed the train had parted. A top was made to couple the cars, but to the darkness the coupling was not xiade, and when a down grade was reached the three cars in front left the train and plunged down the Incline. Four men were on the trucks, but they did not Junto as they supposed the ears would come to a stop on another grade where they expected to block them and wait for the engine. However, when the foot of the grade was reached the trucks met another engine on the main line, and Into this they crashed. When the headlight of the engine ap peared. Herman Hansen took a chance and Jumped for his life. He struck heavily and rolled down the grade, but he should recover. The cars "Jack riped." one going under the other, and Larson was horrible bruised and man gled, dying a few moments after being extricated from the debris. The others were seriously, but, it is thought, not fatally hurt. ',' This Is the second accident on this road In a short time. There is no re sponsibility placed, as the accident is the direct result of carelessness on the part of the Injured men, any of whom tight be supposed to know the grade conditions, and to guard against such a happening. The cars were not defective. RETURNED FROM THE EAST. W. R. Hume Returns From an Extend ed Visit to Eattsrn Cities. W. R. Hume returned Sunday even ing from an extended visit In the east He visited all the principal cities In the Interest of his mill business. De mand for lumber has been at a stand still the past tBree months. Even the railroad companies have cut out all orders, and bulging operations have been temporarily suspended. This has had a depressing effect on the lumber market A reaction Is apparent, says Mr. Hume, and building operations will soon commence. The extension of rail road lfnes will make an Increased de mand for lumber, and the indications point to a lively business this winter. Stocks have been allowed to run low, ntil the supply Is nearly exhausted and large orders' are now being placed for Oregon fir and spruce. These or ders will Increase and win keep all the mills on the Pacific coast busy supply ing orders. Mr. Hume visited the world's fair at St Louis. He states that Oregon was well represented at the game and for estry building, the exhibits being equal to. If not superior to those of any other state.! The exhibit of the Hume mill was conspicuous and attracted consid erable attention. No better advertise ment could have been made for Clat sop county than that furnished by this mill. While the Oregon building Itself was not quite up to the standard, yet it made a very creditable ahowlng. Many people visited the building, and the forestry exhibits, who are Inter ested In the west and who contemplate moving here. Mr, Hume speaks very hlghty of Mr. Sheldon. In charge of the game and forestry department, and his efforts to show visitors all the products of the west, and being thoroughly fa miliar with them, his explanations were both Interesting and Instructive. The Oregon exhibits will bring thou sands of people to Oregon to the Lewis and Clark fair, many of whom will make their homes here. The wonderful possibilities of Oregon was a surprise to many visitors, and Mr. Hume Is well pleased with what he saw and particu larly the Clatsop county exhibits. A new electric Hht plant has been installed at the mill with double Its present capacity, and preparation will be made to handle all the large orders expected from the east, where the ex celent quality of lumber manufactured meets with a ready sale. Mr. Hume secured a large number of orders, and Is well pleased with the future outlook of the lumber Industry In Oregon. OFFICERS SWORN IN. Those Elected at ' Seaside Monday Take the Oath of Office.

DIVORCE EVIL UP Washington Morals Seem to Need a Deal of Fixing. GOVERNOR MEAD IS AFTtR IT Divorce While You Walt to Be Stopp.d. Recommendations on Xaity Trial of Criminal Prosecution Will Bo Made 'Also. Belllngham, Wash, Dec. 1. The dl- von- evil and the nreventton of un necessary delays in the prosecution of prisoners will be two of the Important things dealt with In Oovernor-elect Mead's first message to the legislature of the state of Washington. Mead believes that more strict laws should be passed regulating the secur- In of dtvortea. His friends say that he will recommend a law providing that persons desiring a divorce shall be re quired to file proceedings with the court six months before thCdecree may be granted. ' This law would make the act of a divorced person marrying a third person within six months bigamy which Is punishable anywhere In the United States. Asa suoplement to the divorce rec ommendations it Is believed that Mead will advocate that a law be paused making it a felony for a husband to desert his wife and family. The governor-elect believes that the present regulations of divorce and desertion are entfrely too liberal. That a premium Is olaced on hasty marriage by tie idea that If the union Is not a happy one that It may be dissolved "by the courts. Friends who are close to the gov emor.elect say that he believes that the time Is ripe for a revision of the statutes which cause long and tedious delays after a criminal Is arrested until his trial or appeal la taken up by the courts. It Is believed that he will ad vocate that the time consumed In the trial of a criminal and a hearing In the court of appeals be lessened by one- half. It la asserted that Mead believes that much of the delay is caused by the courts allowing time to be consumed by stipulation and trivial motions. Also that he believes that court stenogra phers should be paid by the county In every instance. This. It Is said, would result In the handing In of the trans cript of a case or the findings of fact without delay. , In the supreme court It Is understood that Mead believes that a great change should b made by the taking up of -all criminal cases Immediately after appeal and set aside civil suits for the time being In which people In the state at large have no interest . - .
