BLAME FDR CRASH
HEAR CHEMAWA IS
Board of Inquiry Puts Responsi
' bility on Conductor Record and
Brakeman D. W. Christian.
i .. Slem, Nov. 27, -Conductor T.'T.
Record an4 Brakeman D. W,. Chrls-
tian r tire local ireignt tram Into
which athrough freight crashed at
' 'Lake Labishr near Chemawa, Wed
nesday, were held entirely responsi
ble for the wreck, 4n which, five
men, including four trainmen and a
transient, were injured. - !
TV. a .nH. tu t .( ....... . A
this afternoon, said that testimony
showed that the . engineer had -whistled
'out the brakeman as the train pulled
into Chemawa and that Christian had
gone but ?00 to 300 feet back when the
through: freight passed, though from five
to eight minutes had elapsed. He was
supposed 10 go nan a nine 10 uie rear.
iThe conductor, according to th'e testi
mony, had not talked : with Christian
after the train had left Gervals, al
though he and others of the crew knew
the through freight was following their
train. . :
Regulations 1 of the company provide
that the brakeman shall go back a quar
ter of a mile and set out one torpedo,
"mil go a quarter of a mile farther back
- I id set out two torpedoes and then
shall return - to the first torpedo and
place a red fusee.
The testimony, the report says, showed
Christian had apparently placed the red
fuse as the through train approached,
although he had not gone back the
. proper distance. The engineer of the
, through , freight answered the signal,
, when he saw the fusee, applied the
brakes and then saw the rear light of
the local freight caboose as his engine
struck.
The conductor was blamed because he
had failed to talk with. the brakeman
' and because no fusees had been put out
between Gervais, last stop , of the local
' freight before it reached Lake Labissh.
and the place of the accident. Becordf
according to the testimony, was riding
on the engine. - y --.
The board of inquiry wag composed of
A. T. Mercler, division superintendent of
the Southern Pacific ; D. M. McLauch
lln, master mechanic; E. E. Mayo, divi
sion engineer ; Harwood Hall, superin
tendent of the Chemawa Indian school,
' and a. O, Henderson, a CheHufw aimer

WV-'E. Mclver,. fireman on the through
freight, was the herdf in the wreck.
When hls three companions ki the en
gine cab Jumped, after Engineer Parker
had- f shoved on the emergency brakes
when he sighted the red tail lights on
the caboose of the local freight, Mclver
stayed with the engine to shut off the
flow of oil, in order to prevent . the
spread of flames from the engine to the
wrecked cars. .
Although badly "bruised and. nearly
stunned, Mclver, managed to.. extricate
himself from the demolished engine cab
and made Tils way painfully back along
the track to intercept a passenger train,
whiqh was due in a few minutes, In or.
der la avoid a second, and perhaps more
serious wrecK. v mains a oraaeman
from the through freight already on duty
Mclver collapsed from the strain and It
' .was necessary to assist hi pi to the hos
pital here. He speedily recovered and
was able to return to his honie in Port
land the day following the crash.
. Mclver was a former member of Com

Cracks Are Found
In Coins;. Faulty
' Milling Is Blamed
Cracked silver coins made recently by
government mints, are being circulated
In Portland and causing numerous per
sons embarrassment when they try to
Ufte them. The attention of " Assistant
United States Attorney John Veatch has
been .called to these coins several times
lately.. In each case the coin: was found
to be cracked and not counterfeit,
Veatch said. -r-; :,.
On day last week veatch received a
EO-cent piece which contained a crack
large jenough to be seen with the naked
eye. The defect in the coin which pre
vents . it from having a clear ring Is
caused at the plant by the heavy milling
machines, Veatch said. , . j .
Coins of the present issue are being
stamped deeper Jn ah effort to make the
work of the counterfeiter more difficult.
This process is said to result In many
cracked coins. As fast as the banks
obtain the cracked money it is being re
turned to the mint for remiliing. ' t

Public Reception
For Or egon' Author s
By Gill Book Store
That the literary works produced in
the Btate may be better appreciated,
John T. Hotchklss, head of the J. K.
Gill bok department, has arranged a
public reception for Oregon authors and
people at . the store Tuesday ' "and
Wednesday afternoons. Invitations have
been sent to all the writers of the
state, and between SO and 40 have aig
nified intention of attending.
' It is the Intention of Hotchklss- to
make this reception an annual affair.
Many Oregon authors have been claimed
by other states because the people of
Oregon have ignored - them, he said.
One of the best examples is that of
Edwin Markham, author , of some 55
books, the one best known In the state
being "Live Boys in Oregon." Mark
ham was born on the banks of the
Willamette, but is claimed by Califor
nia as a native son.
Wasco County in
Decade Makes Big
Gain in Valuation
The Dalles. Or., Nov. 27 Wasco coun
ty 1st worth $20,356,180 in land and build
ing aluatlon, according to figures re
ceive! from the United States bureau
of census by County Agricultural Agent
E. It. Jackman, Saturday. The estimate
is based on the 1920 census figures. It
exceeds the government valuation placed
as a result of the. 1910 census by 17,140,
325. or 54 percent.-. .
The increase in valuation is largely
due to new homesteads taken up in the
10 years, ' according to Jackman. The
1920 census shows 941.779 acres of im
proved and unimproved land heM by
private owners as compared with 714,.
805 acres privately owned in 1910.
Wage Cut Rejected;
Sawmills to Close
, Aberdeen, Wash,, Nov. 2?. A cut of.
20 to 25 per cent In wages of lumber
mill workers lias been suggested in
place of a shut down by lumber manu
facturers. The employes of the National
mill In Hoquiam have rejected the offer
and the plant will be shut down Decem
ber 1. Manager Paine said he preferred
to close the plant, as the lumber market
is decidedly off and would be for some
time. "With a 20 per cent cut. he said,
the mill would still be losing money. A

In Portland last April. Testimony
in the second hearing has been con

peared. The estate at present is said to be
worth orIy about $S000.
