Also Expected.
James J. Hill, chairman of tha board
of directors' ot th Great Northern rall
roRd and head of the H1U system; will
arrive in Portland late this; evening. Mr.
Jl ill has been planning to' visit Portland
for eome time, and 'Intended to, attend
ilia convention, of the' Oregon Develop
ment league at Salem, but .was prevent
ed by Important business In the east
That Mr. 'Hill will announce new proj
ects' for next year Is the belief of those
; iosoly In touch with the situation, and
Kmnngr other things it is thought he will
! o.SKibly shed some light on the terminal
situation.' Mr, Hill, when on his former
visit here, stated that something would
fuon have to be done to Improve the
t assenger depot facilities for th Ifctrth
Hank system, and since po agreement
I as been announced giving the new Hill
!lnes privileges at the Grand Central
nation, owned by the Northern Pacific
Terminal company, : it is thought quite
probable that he will have something
to, say at this time In regard to the con
struction ; of a , new passenger depot,
unless arrangements are completed soon
to share the Grand Central station with
the Harr'.man lines and . tho Northern
rafific ' v' ;.,"'.'": ..v;''v
Beginning tomorrow, trains of the
Astoria & Columbia River railroad will
Ue the : North Bank station, Eleventh
and Hoyt streets, instead of the Grand
Central station.
The A. & C. privileges have been rent
ed by the month from the terminal com
pany, and hence the change is taken to
have . no particular . bearing upon the
terminal situation, except that it will
prove a considerable saving to the Hill
system, as the trains may be handled
in conjunction with the North Bank
trains at a very small increase in cost
in connection with the change, 3eneral
Freight and passenger Agent W. E. Co
man issued a 'circular , announcement
tills morning, in which he States that
on and after tomorrow the freight busi
ness will be handled -at the North Bank
frelirht depot, and passenger trains will
arrive at and diart from the North
Hank passenger station, : Kleventh and
Hoyt streets, where accommodations for

A Southern Pacific freight had been
switching .under ' the steel bridge and
two cars twera still standing at' the
end of the switch on the main line of
the O. It. & N. The relief engine, with
Engineer 'Miller and Fireman Reed,
were waiting for the track to be
cleared of the freight cars before run

As the Spokane train came down the
one per ent grade leading past the
East Portland station Engineer .Fer
guson attempted to slow up for - the
usual stop. . He found that the "air
brakes would not "work and began to
whistle for the : hand brakes, at the
same tima trying to "work, his train
down with the engine. -'
The grade and the momentum of the
train wera too- much for the unaided
efforts of the engine, however,' and the
heavy train skidded past the station for
nearly 800 feet into the two freight oars
standing on the main line;
, Engines Boll Over.
The impact of the collision fhrew the
Spokane ' engine off the track onto its
side beside the rails. The baggage and
mail cars on the Spokane train shot
past the- wrecked engine sand reared
themslves upon the freight cars, finally
coming to a stop minus their trucks and
la feet in the air. Through some mir
acle neither the baggage npr the mail
men were Injured, "though they, were
badly shaken up. The trucks were torn
from the tank of the Incoming engine
and the oil. about 100 gallons of it, were
Spilled along the right of way,

this collision that shook up Engineer
Miller and Fireman .Reed. .

ERRORS NO? .CAUSE OF
LONG COURT DOCKET
. (Special DUpatck to -The Jouraiil.)
" Jacksonville, Or Dee. It. Dispatches
from Medford, Or Sunday' stated that
the -Jackson county court docket was
extremely long because of the necessity
of correcting errors in the pleading of
cases in the last term of court. Ex
aminatlon of the records disclosed the
fact that there are no cases coming, up
this term of court through errors of-the
last , term. The criminal docket this
term is made somewhat lengthly by the
fact that the 'cases of more than a half
dozen prisoners whtf escaped from Jail
some time ago are still carried on the
docket, and an equal number of persons
indicted ' have not been apprehended,
Many new cases have also been added
by the grand Jury af the last session.
