What do you know about that!
' If you will watch the papers

Grange Meets.
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.

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.
