The King's j Products company

on the greatest crop of beans ever
grown in the j Willamette valley.
Last year the company had a fine
acreage contracted, but many an
acre was not harvested. The dry

prospect. The company did not
have much more than a decent
fraction of, enough beans to, sup-

year, the crops are phenomenal.
Fields of beans have been inspect
ed, that? are estimated- to yield
four tons of string beans , to the
acre - and ' a 1 ton - of beans Is
worth 155 -cash.
Last year a field of irrigated
beans at Stayton yielded four tons
of Kentucky Wonders, to the acre.
This was held to be a phenomen

yield for iast year, though the ir

this year the average string bean

BERLIN, July 31. (By the

aster occurred at the Kreiensen
station, at the junction of the
Hanover and Cassel line, today,
caused by a collision between the
Hamburg-Munich express and a
train standing at the station. Up
to 4 o'clock 44 bodies had been
recovered from the wreckage and
the estimated number of killed Is
100, while 34 injured are being
cared for In the hospital at Goet
tingen. - . "
Identification of the killed is
extremely, difficult and in some
cases impossible, owing to their
mangled condition. The collision
is attributed to the inability of
the driver of the express r to see
the signals because ot grit which
had been blown into his eyes.
The crash was terrif ie and most
of the cars ; were scattered and
piled on top of one another. Those
who were instantly killed suffered
the happiest fate, for many others
were crushed in the - wreckage
and' endured agonies before the
end came. Many of those rescued
also suffered prolonged tortures
before they were extricated.
