Jrairnel.i Salem, July 81. When hops are at Buoa prices mere is money la the vaiiey. Buyers are scrambling to get hops around 20 and 21 cents, and the entire hop belt of the Willamette valley has taken on a new spirit as the result of the splendid outlook. When offers are made for the new crop as low as f cents depression settles rver the valley like a pall. ) Though many farmers are going into .other lines of agriculture, hops are still considered an Important product In this section of the valley. ' Old towns like Independence, across the river in Polk county. Gervais, In this county, and Woodburn have taken on prosperous airs within a week, and farmers in these towns now wear the smile that wont come off. Last winter the growers rushed into the legislature with bills to be enacted for the purpose of saving the hop Industry In the state of -Oregon, but It has saved itself, tha.nkar M the, short -eroosJa Europe-t-gether with the presence of pests and other blights. ; , - - .It is confidently expected that the 1809 crop..wlU eelLbeffffft January ! for 80 cents. . Offers ef 14 cents are e ported to have been made for 1908 hops that would not have sold for 7 a year ago today." There Is money la the coun try, and Salem and surrounding country towns are feeling- a prosperity that has come almost within a week as the re sult of s sudden improvement i the condition of the hop industry. - - It Is true that many growers became disgusted last year,, and tore hops out of. the ground. Some have planted prune trees, which they thought a more stable crop, others have gone into the chicken business, but those who have persisted will pull out on top, provided they sell when a good figure Is reached and do not hold out for unreasonable firlces like the growers are feverishly mpelled to do so many times. E INJURED (Continued from Page One.) htm on a track that was straight ahead for over half a mile. scotomas Dies from Injuries, y As he died from his Injuries, his story ' of the cause will never.be known. An other report is to the effect that the east bound train No. 20, which is a reg ular, and the- West bound which was an extra running with orders to pass the regular train at La Crosse, and it Is stated that the motorman ot the extra was unable to hold -'his train with the brakes and that It ran by the switch at the siding and before he could get the train under control-or back it up, the two came together with a crash. Both trains were overloaded, as all trains have been since the opening of the land drawing and the railway com- fany has been running all the extras t could handle to care for the busi ness. - ' '- --., ' - The accident Is said to be due to thesa conditions. So restrictions have been placed on the number allowed to board the traltis so 'long as they could hang on. From six to ten thousand - passengers ' have been handled each .way dally between here and Spokane since the land draw ing began, with only a limited equip ment. This however, la the only ac cident which has occurred and is the only serious one in the history of the road. ' ., Greedy Corporation. - People have ridden on tops of cars crawled through . windows and on the riding with the motorman ana on fenders and it was in this oondl the fast electrlo passenger train Lra.st-.ed into the motor of the other, pil ing car on car and malting a crusn or iMSsengers on the I platforms between the cars, which were, telescoped and then toppled into the ditch. The bodies of 10 victims, mangled almost beyond recognition were sent In automobiles to Coeur d'Alene hospitals and a special train carrying nurses and doctors was sent from Spokane together wltn a score of fast automobiles. People in the vicinity of the wreck sre caring for the Injured until they can bi removed to Spokane hospitals. - Careless -of life. v. Punning about 20 miles an hour at 4-3.i this afternoon, the two big motors t mounted high in the air, turned on pHii by the force of the on-coming rnr t!i"n toppled on top of the cars, m -uicli ciHFhed in turn behind thiem. The licavily-laden passenger coaches wovo shattered and splintered, men and women wre sent flying from their fpt' into the ends of cars, through, the 3i'tre-1 window panes and on to the pin- c-f wreckage. . . .Neither train had warning of the ap- Poj y cruwle t 1 1 111 M. 1 I i,o fe MOn t proach of the other, and the Impact of the two head motors was terrific ? AH was confusion. Several of the coaches left the track and people were caught under the . pile of broken tim bers. ..- -- People- of Caldwell made hospitals of their homes. The , wounded were carried there by the uninjured, and the dead were taken to some one's home. A- The Coeur D'Alene hospital is now loaded with, the, coU of the injured, v- Only. one of the train, crew Is re ported Injured. v i , , , A The Spokane A Coeur d'Alene elec tric line waa opened in 103, and con stituted 81 miles of road - extending from Spokane to Lake Coeur d'Alene, a summer resort of considerable impor tance. Since .that tlmo the road has been extended until today It reaches Colfax, nearly 106 miles south of Spo kane; Moscow, Idaho, 20 miles east of Colfax; Medical Lake, and a. number of lake resorts within easy reach of Spo kane, Over 268- miles of road is oper ated, and 3t passenger trains daily are handled at the Spokane-terminal. Spo kane claims to have m6re electric' sub urban lines than any city in the United States With the eXCentiOn ttf Tnrilanonn. lis and. Los Angeles.- -K ..The, line from Spokane :to Coeur d'Alene skirts the Spokane; river for the entire d! stance between thej two places, crossing the. stream on a steel bridge near Trent - Along- the line on either side 'has sprung up- a community of small homes, garden and fruit tracts, with Irrigation provided by pumping from the Spokane river. An easy water Kio.ua gives uie rrwiu practically level bed. and trains are ruHhpd nlonir tha rate- of mile ' a minute - at tlmeii. Through trains "hate made the run of 81 miles in a trifle over 81 minutes, but tne regulars time is aoout one hour. Trains leave Spokane and Coeur d'Alene every hour from o'clock in the morn ing until midnight. Coeur d'Alene City lies, practically due east of Spokane, on the lake bearing- the same name. The Spokane river Maves the lake at a cascade known as Post Falls, where en immense power plant has been constructed to nnrat eiecino power, stations nave been 'es tablished every half mile or so, and towns -or imnoru.nca a.pA . HAMt Trent, Greenacres, , Opportunity - and East Spokane. - . Slock System. . f The Inland Electrlo line Is titted with the-'block signal system from one end to she other, and over 45 miles of sid ings have been provided tor the quick handling of trains. - On '$he Coeur d'Alene branch every precaution has been taken to safeguard passenger .on the swiftly moving trains. From one end of the line to the other there is scarcely a half mile of road that cannot be -seen -clearlyahead -by -a motorman The entire system - Is capitalised at $80,000,000. . 7 Since the registration for Indian res ervation land has been going; on at Spo kane and at Coeur d'Alene, thousands of strangers have been carried over the line, and passenger business has broken all records. When lr Is considered that nearly 200,000. persons have registered for the lands, and that practically all of that number have been carried one or both ways on the electrlo line, some thing of the tremendous business done since July IS can be gathered. It is said that the line from Spokane to Coeur d'Alene paid for Itself within two years from the date n which Its first regular passenger train was put Into service. ...... , BRora IS BCAFOIUlffl Over 500 People Make Trip to Columbia Trust Com pany's New Tract.
