and hurries old well Iicouiihc thoy ma
tured before thn drouth caught them.
Tho market hn.s been cllinjr from
20 to .'12 hopt each Saturday until
lately. Tho mipply of hogn pavo out.
Kmall farmcrH who raided and fat
tened an many hors as they could
produce feed for mado jjood profit
on them, notwithstanding tho low
pricefi prevailing.
Only in n small wny could outside
demands bo met. Ton lots, or even
hnlf-ton lots couldn't bo touched. In
September of thin yctiy orders were
taken for J800 finokw of polntocs.

"Drouth is the one word that ex-
plninn the hituation," hold Snperin
tendebt E. J. Itnnynrd of tjio mnrket,
when nsked what produced the short
age this year. 'Wo bad no lrriM
tipn.. The drouth did the rest."
So, wc may ndd n good many thou
Blind dollars more to the already moro
than n third of n million dollars loss
on fruits nnd livestock nlono Inst
year. "Drouth," ns Superintendent
Itunynrd summarizes it, explains it
nil. Drouth, with no provision to
overcome it, hns mado our farmers
poor. When tllo farmers aro short of
crops and, therefore, short of money,
everybody else in the vnlley is short
of money. That'w what inures hard
llmoq.
Drouth in n semi-arid country is
not an occasion for Mii-prise, nuy
morn than n cyclone is in n country
subject to hurricanes. Ono can't
make nny provision that will head off
n cyclone, but, thn umaxlng thing is
that, in a country abundantly sup
plied with water, there is mi provision
ngaiust drouth.
How About I'oultiy?
Asked as to tho mainly of poultry
nnd noultry products, tho market su
perintendent said: "All kinds of
poultry and eggs short. Couldn't
supply tho demand."
From other sources comes thn in
formation that poultry feed was too
high in price to justify enlarging the
Hooks. Poultry teed on tho fnrm too
high lor profit in tho fnrm flock!
Why J "Drouth!"
So tho effects of thn drouth may
bo traced oven directly to the short
ago in tho pinto passed iu church.
And tho good deacon would say, if
questioned :
"Drouth! Ood gnvc us an ahuiwh
nnce of whtcr in thn Inkc,1. and
streams of thn mountains, i,u( (,
fanners didn't fetch it to the rnuehes
and thn drouth burnt their crops up
because of their failure to ninutfest
gratitude for tho bounty so scucioun
ly offcrctl."
Iu ono respect the good deacon
may bo wrong. Ood is never the nu
their of misfortune, lint mini is 5 and
in this caso it amounts to hundreds
of thousands of dollais.

freight train No. 222, operated by En
gineer Henry Hynn and Conductor
Howard Wcichlcin of Uoscburg, at 7
(Vclock Saturday crashed head on
into southbound local freight train
No. 22(1 a few feet north of the high
trestle spanning tho Umpquu river
near Winchester.

Joseph Kirk nnd Conductor C. G.
Heymers of this oily.
Or of Mnffliiw Aflnmo
The accident happened on a sharp
curve nnd neither engineer saw the
danger until tho trniiiB were loss than
two car lengths apart. As the loco
motives camo together n car loaded
with jnolclio nnd located some dis
tance behind thn engine pulling train
No, 222 buckled up. left tho track
nnd crashed down the abutting em
bankment beneath tho trestle. It
caught fire almost immediately.
The woodou approach to tho steel
bridgo spanning tho Umpua river
nlso caught on fire.
Cattle nnd Hogs Iturncx
,Ah soon as it became apparent that
the rcmnlnndcr of tho train and
bridgo wqro in danger n crew of vol
unteers was orgnnucd In nn effort to
Bftvo two carloads of cjittlo nnd hopi
which woro diicctly behind tho loco
mot ivo of train No. 222 nnd ahead
of the car of matches. Several cnt
tlo jumped from tho 011011 door of
the can, but were killed in tho fall,
wltilo others were probably smothered
by the heat nud smoko from the
burning car. Although not derailed,
both locomotives nro badly damnged.
Crew Hns No Tlmr. to .lump
Engineer Hynn said that tho acci
dent happened so (prickly that neither
of the train trews had u chance to
jump. There were about fifty cars
iu each train nud they were running
about twenty-five miles an hour at
the time of the crush.
Immediately following the accident
Fireman Patrick was carried over tho
hills for more than a mile nnd placed
iu an automobile and hurried to a
Uoscburg hospital. Tho nttcudiug
physicians beliovo ho will recover un
less complications should develop.
Tho two ears dircollv behind the
locomotive pulling train No. 220 tele
scoped and left the track. Ono of
thuao cars was badly damaged.
Orders MImvuiI, Says Coniwuiy
It was given out at the Southern
Pacific offices that the accident was
due to the crew of train No. 222 mis
reading its orders. The crew had
received orders to meet No. 22!) at

Hoadmaster .loo Smith, former
county commissioner, has lost his job
and nil on account, lie says, of n
dead black onk tree that wus Mtunted
in tho center of the county rond be
tween the Ilanlcy and Stewart orch
ards. At the Thursday meeting of
tho court the order for Smith's re
moval wip signed by Commissioners
Leover and Madden. County Judge
Ton Velle protested the order.
According to Mr. Smith, the dead
1 '
ire
c was about in tho center of the
rond, a little toward the Stewart side
of the highway. It was in the way,
nud he offered it for its removal. The
offer was accepted bv Dick Ilnntlc-
berger of tho Stewart orchard, who
started to work cutting the tree down.
All unknown to Mr. Smith, it seems
that E. H. Ilanlcy wanted the tree,
and tho next day, Mr. Smith says,
Mr. Ilanlcy told him that he had been
"fired," and that' he, Ilanlcy, had
bought the tree from the county
court. Itond Supervisor Wclchcr,
noting' under orders from the com
missioners, cut tho treo down.
There had been nn informal meet
ing tho day beforo of the county
court over tho Ashland hill railroad
crossing with State Highway Engin
eer Cantine, and Mr. Smith states
that he found upon inquiry that Mr.
Madden had put tho question of his
discharge to a vote, Commissioner
Lccvcr voting with him for Smith's
dLhnrgc,
A third party then entered the field.
Mr. Willcts, owner of the tract upon
which tho Stewart 1ioum is located,
employed Attorney Lincoln McCor
mack to bring suit fur the tree, claim
ing that it was his projcrty, as tho
tree was 011 his side of the road, nnd
thul the county hnd no jurisdiction, a
fact at onco admitted by the court,
so, as MY. Smith says:
"Mr. Willcts get the treo and I
get the nx. I hnd no idea there was
anyone wanted the tree, nud followed
the customary practice to save tho
county the expense Of its removal. I
know that Commissioner1 Leevcr hns
long sought my scnlp, but no charges
were preferred against me and I was
given no hearing."
The removal order meiely stntcs
that SinithV. services aro dispensed
with, ns a londmuster is not needed
in winter. '

pass tho southbound train nt Suth
erlin, twelvo miles north of tho scene
of the accident, the company said.
