The Beaverton Grange No. 324 held its regular monthly meeting Saturday August 12. Email at tendance present only 41 without visitors. i Forenoon session, in addition to the regular routine of business we had a very unpleasant duty to perform namely to fill the va cancy caused by the sudden call of our worthy master, Mr. A, W. Pike to another world. This I was done by electing Mr. C. E, Hedge unanimously to fill the I vacancy; we also initiated two i members in the first and second degrees.. After a sumptuous din i ner in our new dining room the I Grange convened in social open session and' listened to several I very interesting lectures and se j lect readings, th& writer cannot l refrain ' from making special j mention of the masterful way Mrs. McGowen handled her sub- ject, the benefit of the weather i bureau forecast it was not only; i instructive but very interesting, i being mingled with just enough I humor. I Mrs. R. L, Tucker played a i piano solo and it is superfluous I to'say that she was encored. The debate on the following resolution Resolved that the rail roads have .been more beneficial than navigation the last 10 years was so ably conducted on both sides that it was really hard to decide who did best but the R. R. came out victorious by a small majority of all present. -JS. E. SWEN30M, . Acting Correspondent. for Sale Cheap, r ., , Good six hole ' second band range for sale.

The undersigned, eonstitutirg a board of inquiry, convened at Beaverton, Oregon, August B-h, 116.. for the purpose of deter mining renponsibiiftr for ve accident, finds: - - (This board finds that Eastward electric passenger train No 110, consisting of two oaes, while ap proaching Beaverton Station at r i of between 1 and 10 K,..t pet hour, struck, on first street erosaing westof etation, rear end of Ford automobile, Oregon license Jio. 26,800; driven ' by Miss Oma Emmons (accompanied byL. V. Emmons), damaging machine to the extent of approx- mately One Hundred (00.00) Dollars, dislocating and fractur ing right shoulder bone of the former, slightly spraining left arm and inflicting small cut on, left leg of the latter, there being no ImurieB received by passen gers on the train, as a result of the emergency application of air brakes. , The automobile had stopped approximately 125 feet from rossing, and, after again start ing, had attainea a speea m about four miles per hour, pre paratory to crossing the railroad track, and, as driver machine bserved train approaching, at tempted, to stop, but was unable to do so until reaching center of track, tben attempted to start, but, in so doing, killed the en gine. From the actions of driver af machine, engineer was led to believe that the driver wasgoinj to stop machine clear of the crossing, but, when seeing that this could not be done, applied the air brakes in emergency, at ooint about . 70 feet from the crossing, but was unable to stop in time to avoid striking the machine. Air brakes were in good working condition, and operative throughout the entire train. AH audible crossing and station signals were given, and gong was ringing continuously, At'Boint fifty feet right angles to crossing, there is an unob structed view of the railroad traok ioi a distance of at least one-quarter - mile. Both apt preaches to the crossing are level, and in good condition. ' , It is the opinion of this board that responsibility for the acci dent rests with the driver of the automobile, account of failure to exercise ordinary precaution, when Approaching the crossing, being contributed to by the driver's lack of experience in the driving of automobiles. This board has no recommen dations to make. P. W. Roberts, . Genl Foreman Electee Equipment Frank Febouson, ' Merchant. S. H. Davis, Farmer.
