There should be some very unusual
scenes and incidents pictured, for noth
ing is more amusing than ptento crowds

would-be movie stars will be on hand
to see-; how they "photograph." while
others will want to see how it is done
in movielahd. The film: company has
promised one of its best operators for
the occasion and splendid results may
be expected. t -
Besides this attraction In the grounds.

Orsgon and its people and found a new
viewpoint of his American cousins. He

CREW OF TRAIN 231: .
IS HELD RESPONSIBLE

Board of Inquiry Holds Conduc
tor, Engineer and Fireman at
Fault Did Not Read Orders.
The head-on collision of two Southern
Pacific freight trains Thursday between
Oswego and Goodln station, resulting in
the death of 'Engineer Wlllard Knight
and severe injur" to , Engineer .' Walter
Davis, was caused by the crew of train
2S1 failing; to read an order before leav
ing Oswego, according to findings of the
board of inquiry, i '' .
-It is tha opinion. of this -board that
Conductor Gl Vs. Frederlekson,, Engineer
Walter Davis and Fireman R. pakes
of train 231 are responsible for the Acci
dent on account of their, failure to ob
serve order .ferm Sl , No. 22 which
required then to wait at Oswego' for
train 234. and that .Brakemen W. G.
Bell, E. - A. Gulp and M - F. Thompson
of the same train were negligent in not
asking Conductor Frederlekson for the
orders," reads a, section of the board's
report.
"The trainmen could not see the oppos
ing engines until they were about 800
feet apart, and It is estimated that both
trains were moving at approximately 20
miles an hour.
"Statements disclose that. Engineer
Knight on train 234 applied airbrakes in
emergency and reversed his engine. In
vestigation has failed to determine action
