readjustment In many cases. . -I
- It may compel some of the railroads
to operate steam locomotives over elec
tric lines until readjustment is made.

cific electric lines, operating out of
Portland, would be affected by tLis
walkout of linemen.

tablished by the Southern Pacific at
the union station, where applicants for
shop work are being hired in great
numbers.- Officials of j the Southern
Pacific announced; this morning- they

A. R. Garrett, in Log Cabin Bak
ery Truck, Makes Vain Effort
to Get 'Over Crossing First
Truck, Man Crushed to Pieces
A. M. Garrett, No. 269 Beech street,
driver for the Log Cabin Baking com
pany, was . killed and his automobile
demolished when he was struck by an
8. P. & S. switch engine at Whltwood
Court, near the west landing of the SC
Johns ferry, at 7 o'clock this morning.
Garrett, who was about 50 years
old, had been, a driver of, delivery
wagons for the company for several
years and was well acquainted with
roads in the neighborhood of the acci
dent. He had been to Linnton and was
returning to the ferry to cross to the
company's plant at No.' 269 Ivy street.
According to witnesses interviewed
by Patrolmen Fleming and Stevens,
the signals at the railroad crossing
were ringing, - but Garrett started
across the track in an attempt to beat
the train.. An engine, southbound,
caught the delivery truck broadside.
The truck was twisted and torn as
it was hurled along the track in front
of the engine. Wheels and parts were
scattered along the right-of-way. The
box was finally torn off the truck and
dropped on one side. The body of the
driver, mutilated almost beyond rec
ognition, was found in the box. The
chassis was: carried 150 feet from the
crossing before the engine could be
brought to a stop.
Al Babcock was engineer on the: en
gine and with him was F. Allen, con
ductor. Garrett was married and had one
daughter, aged : 10.

Forecaster Wells this morning, cast
ing his weather eye at the sky and
at the barometer.
Which ' was heartbreaking news to
everyone in the state, after sweltering
and mopping their foreheads Sunday In
the hottest day of the year. The mer
cury achieved 95 degrees at 4 o'clock
Sunday afternoon in Portland and
stuck there until 5 o'clock. The hot
test day prior to this was . May 31,
when the mercury stood at 94.
The barometer was falling slightly
this morning, according to Wells, and
there v was -no Indication of a passing
of a stagnant air condition that has
brought on. the heat wave by- inter
rupting the cooling ocean breezes. '
"However," he added consolingly,
"these stagnant air pockets seldom
last more than three days."
Sunday started out with a sensible
temperature of 65 at 5 o'clock in the
morning and by 8 p. m. it had reached
the previous high mark of 94.. At 4
o'clock it went to 95 and was yet at
that point at S o'clock. After that hour
the temperature gradually ' cooled.
Portland received good treatment
from the weather man, however, com
pared with some other parts of the
state.
