Oregon Express Wreck Due to Buck
ling of Rails, Caused by Expansion
Du to Sun's Rays No Blame Is
Attached.
.-
" SACRAJIENTO, Cal., July 20.
That expansion of the rails, dut to
, tho heat of the sun, and the result
ant buckling of the steel was the pe
culiar cause of the wreck of the Or
egon oxpross on tho Southern Pacific
at the Feather River bridge, near
Jfarysville, on Monday, in which
threo railroad men lost their lives, is
the official explanation of the acci
dent us given out by the company
today. No blame attaches to any
employe of the road.
, Tho evidence showed that tho train
wus running at four miles nn hour.
Tho weather was unusually warm.
Dpring tho entire morning the rays
of the sun wore storing up heat in
the rails. Tho npprouch to the
bridge, which is being newly bullast
d and raised, is y per cent down
jjntdo. Tho rails had probably been
Punched" or crowded together, ow
iflg io expansion.
This "bunching" wns aggravated
when. Engineer Condon's train came
down tho grade toward tho bridge
with tho airbrakes holding the
couches in check. It is believed that
tho rails muct have been kinked out
of line by tho heat ;'ust a few feet
cfecud of the locomotive
Tho engino then climbed (he guard
Tail on tho bridgo and plunged to tho
river bed below. itfot a spike was
drawn from the rails, and this is held
as conclusive proof that the theory
.cdvtuiced by tho company is correct.

The sky becan to cloud over during
tho early evening hours. At this time
a heavy wind storm came up, but It

BAND CONCERT FOR
DEPARTING CONVICT
PITTSBURG, July 20. Led bv
Walter Dorman, sentenced for life iu
connection with the famous Biddle
boj's' case, the prison orchestra at
the Western Pennsylvania penitenti
ary yesterday tendered God-speed
for one of their number, who will be
released today. "Home, Sweet
Home," was the selection the leader
started on the piano as tho convicts
filed out of the chapel, and it was
for the benefit of the fellow player
who for seven years had beat the
bass drum.
A few straggling convicts who had
not yet left the chapel caught the air
and began to hum it, and smiled con
gratulations on the fortunate one,
who hnd pillowed his head in his
arms, crossed on his drum, overcome
by the little prison drama.
Warden John Francis, a "give-a-man-n-chance"
type of an official,
would not disclose the name of the
prisoner, and as a result he will walk
into the world again unheralded, that
he might begin life over.
AMERICANS ARE COMING
BACK FROM CANADA
WASHINGTON, July 20. Emmi
gration of homeseckcrs to Canada,
which has been the subject of great
concern to tho administrators of the
public domaiu, has turned, in the
opinion of officials of the reclama
tion service. Thousands have re
turned nnd a great many more are
expected back soon.
ClaTcnco J. Blanchard, statistician
of the reclamation service, who is in
the field inspecting irrigation pro
jects, reports he has interviewed
many settlers in Montana, who had
tried the Canadian experiment, but
were glad to return home. They said
practically every American farmer
near Alberta, where tho Canadian
government maintains an irrigation
project, was anxious to get back if
he .could sell his hogs in the Domin
ion. The American settlers were dissat
isfied with tho character of the land,
the crops from which they alleged
consisted principally of alfalfa and
such hardy grninB as winter wlietyt
and even these were not sure. The
form of government did not appeal to
them, and thoy considered railroad
rates exhorbitant. Tho climate was
a source of dissatisfaction, ice nnd
snow in August and September of
Inst year adding to their discontent.
During the last nine months it wus
said at tho reclamation office today
15,000 settlors have returned to the
states from Canada.
GUNBOAT SENT TO
