CRUSHED TO DEATH
F. B. Hawk, Brakeman on Dallas'
Portland Passenger Train, Meets
Fatal Accident.
F. B. Hawk, a Southern Pacific
passenger brakeman, met instant
death at the Jefferson-street station at
10 :30 o'clock Friday morning by hav
ing his head crushed into a shapeless
mass between two cars.
Hawk had just arrived on the train
from Dallas, and after the passengers
had disembarked.it backed around
tho station to pick up another coach
on a curve switch. Hawk, who was
on the inside of the curve, motioned
for the train to pull ahead as the
coupling did not work. When the
train backed the second time, Hawk,
for some unknown reason, reached in
between the cars. His head -was
caught between the platforms of the
two coaches.
Engineer B. Casey witnessed the
sad accident, but too late to stop the
train and avert the accident. Coroner
J. P. Finley was notified and after in
vestigating the case decided to hold no
inquest as death was deemed purely
accidental.

The glories of an Oregon day in
May!
Ho who has never seen tho beauty
of Oregon when Oregon is at the pin
nacle of beauty should drive into the
highways and byways of today. Na
ture was never more smiling; the sun
never shone on more of beauty ; such
richness of coloring was never ex
celled, as that which greets one in a
ride across country in Polk county.
Leaving Salem Monday forenoon,
the writer's way led him across the
beautiful Willamette, up the river
road, past West Salem and Eola, into
and through the richest portion of
Polk county. Fields of fast sprouting
and growing grain, orchards of
flowering trees, precursors of delicious
fruit to follow; acres of hop poles on
which later will be growing the vine
which has made this section of Ore
gon as rich as any farming section of
the world, meet the eye at every turn.
Prosperity is evident on every hand ;
villages that were in fact run down,
and showed the spirit of shiftlessness
a few years ago, now appear attractive
to the view. The lawns are well kept ;
flowering plants line the walks, and
bright, clean paints give a neat ap
pearance to the houses. Where were
few inhabitants but a few years ago.
the country shows a heavy population
Telephone poles and wires mark the
lines of travel, and together with the
little tin box of Uncle Sam's rural free
delivery indicates that the people are
up with the times, and that they are
reaping the benefits of the greatest
educational system 'the world ever
knew.
Dixie, the home of Oregon's great
war Senator, the late Senator Nesmith
shows growth ; Dallas, the county seat,
is an active business center. Here
was found a really good hotel,
splendid water system supplying good
water, attractive stores, and a stone
court house worthy of the grand coun
ty which built it. Monmouth, with its
State Normal School, a building after
the Oxford stylo of architecture, is
delightful home aud school town, with
a motor line conncctiug it with Dallas
town with a prosperous past and
hopeful future. All this can be easily
seen in a day's drive, without hurry
ing the team, and without individual
fatigue, and many of Salem's citizens
who wonder why Salem and these
other towns grow could well get a
lesson in natural philosophy by mak
ing the tour. It all forms a part of
what makes for a liberal education to
him who ' studies the conditions and
their refations to cause and effect.

Good Roads in Eastern Polk.
The residents of Spring Valley held
a meeting at Zena recently and started
a movement for the improvement of
the roads in that vicinity. George B.
McKinley was elected chairman aud
J. R. Shepard, secretary. One of the
first matters decided upon was the
purchase of a road grader. It was
stated that the county court would
meet the farmers half way and con
tribute in cash an amount equal to
the work that shall be donated by the
people interested in the work. With
this understanding a committee was
appointed composed of Samuel Phil
lips and J. R. Shepard to solicit dona
tions of labor or money.
Since the engines ou the west side
morning and evening trains have
been made coal burners wo are
apparently becoming quite metropoli
tan. Fir wood has about served its
time on Oregon railroads, and its day
of cheapness is likewise about over.

Keep the Balance Up.
It has been truthfully said that any
disturbance of the even balance of
health causes serious trouble. No
body can be to careful to keep this
Dalance up. When people begin to
lose appetite, or get tired easily, the
least imprudence brings on sickness,
weakness or debility. The system
needs a tonic, craves it, and should not
be denied it; and the best tonic of
which we have any knowledge is
Hood's Sarsaparilla. What this med
icine has done In keeping healthy
people healthy, in keeping up the even
balance of health, gives it the same
distinction as a preventive that it en

SENATOR M'GINN RESIGNS
Says His Private Business Affairs
Demand His Whole Attention.
State Senator H. E. McGinn, of
Multnomah county, has handed his
resignation to Governor Chamberlain,
giving as a reason for his action that
his private business demands his en
tire attention. While it is a well-known
fact that Senator McGinn is a busy
man, there are many who believe that
he has reasons for handing in his
resignation at this time that have not
been given to the public.
Tuesday's Salem Statesman says:
"Some facts have boon known to ob
serving friends of Senator McGinn for
a long time. One is that his political
and legislative enthusiasm showed de
cided abatement during the last ses
sion. He didn't seem happy among
his associates from the metropolis.
Things weren't moving the way he
was accustomed to see them go and at
no time was there any evidence of his
wonted fire and virility. Since the
close of last session he hasn't smiled
approvingly upon the manipulation of
the machinery of Multnomah county ;
there are hands at tho crank which ho
does not look upon with confidence,
hut he has found no means to break
loose their hold, so it is highly
probable that ho has decided to pull
in his political sails entirely until the
winds blow from a more favorable- di
rection and that he will steer his bark
into the placid waters of the business
soa, where his law practice is fast In
creasing, and where his forensic elo
quence and ability will bring him
more substantial returns.

GOOD NEWS FOR VALLEY
Southern Pacific Official Says There
Will Be No Car Shortage
This Year.
Julius Kruttschnitt, director of
maintenance and operation of tho
Harriman system, was in Oregon last
week, looking over the lines under
his control for tho purpose of shaping
his' policy with reforenco to them and
to see what is noeded in tho way of
improvements. Ho promises that
there shall be no trouble this Summer
because of a shortago of cars, and
also that some much-needed improve
ment work will be done on the lines
in Oregon. He says, however, that
there will be no shortening of the
passenger time between San Francisco
and Portland.
Relative to the Oregon and Wash
ington lines, Mr. Kruttschnitt said
that he was well pleased with the
prospects for tho country through
which they operate.
"Considerable trouble was ex
perienced last year," said he, "along
tho line of the Southern Pacific. That
was tho weak spot in the system. The
difficulty last Summer was not or. nc-
, count of a shortage of cars. We had
: plenty of cars, but lacked the motive
power to move them. The cause of
this was that the now engines we
ordered were not delivered in time to
meet the demand.
"There will be no lack of engines
this year. We have ordered 130 new
engines, and they are of the type that
can handle big trains. Of these, 40
hae been delivered and tho others
will bo delivered before August 1.
That will give us sufficient motive
power to take care of all business
along the line of the Southern Pacific.
J and there will be no occasion for
I further trouble."
i This will be welcome news to the
! business n'cn and shippers who could

last Summer for love or money. This
improvement on the Southern Pacific
will mean more to the business
interests of the Willamette Valley
than almost any other improvement
that could be made.
But this is not all that Mr. Krutt
schnitt has promised to do. He says
that the light rails now in use on the
Southern Pacific will be replaced by
heavy ones during tho year, and the
roadbed will be greatly improved.
great deal of work is planned,"
said Mr. Kruttschnitt, "in the line of
laying heavier rails and ballasting
tho roadbeds of tho lines in tho state.
The Southern Pacific needs heavy
rails and it will get them. We
will see thnt you have an easy ride
over that lino hereafter. The other
lines seem to be in very good shape."

Oregon Gets Two Million.
The approval by the Secretary of the
nterior of the new irrigation projects
mark practically the close of tho pre
liminary stago of reclamation work.
The projects in each state and terri
tory are now well outlined and provis
ions are made for all the availablo
funds. The situation in Idaho, Wash
ington and Oregon is as follows; In

about $2,G00,000 has been previously
alloted. In Oregon, the Malheur
project, cost about $2,000,000. In
Washington, the reclamation land
near Pasco, at a cost of $1,500,000. In
all, tho projects outlined will cost $27,
000,000, and will require for construc
tion two or three years. They will
eclaim in round numbers one million
acres of land, all of which will be
susceptible to intense cultivation and
hould bo capable of supporting a
population of 000,000 or more.
