Nearly all the passengers were asleep at the time of the collision, 1:35 a.m. Darkness heightened the confusion and hysteria of the pas sengers as they sought to escape from the smashed coaches. Rescue work was impeded because many ct those trapped in the twisted steel coaches had to be cut by acety lene torches. Relief trains were sent from Yuma, Ariz., and Indlo, Calif., to the wreck. One of the relief locomotives pulled the Argonaut's passenger cars which were not derailed, back to Yuma, where many of the Injured were taken off, and the Argonaut pro ceeded to Los Angeles by another route. Some of the lnjuied were treated at the scene by doctors and nurses hastily 'recruited from small com munities in this sparsely populated area. J. H. Dyer, Southern Pacific vice president, who was aboard the Argo naut, took personal charge of the rescue work. He reported one of the dead women passengers was the mother of an eight-month-old baby. The infant escaped with slight In juries. Telephone and telegraph lines at the scene of the wreck were torn out as the trains piled up and rip ped away several hundred feet of track. All communications were sev ered In and out of several commu nities bordering the area.

T) An In crease of nearly 25 per cent In en tries In the breed classifications of the forthcoming Pacific International Livestock' exposition here. October 1-9, was announced today by O. M. Plum mer, secretary. m m Flipper t v , " I i&Sjmti.. If i e Mmm ' lw,wwaa..i,f in umi ihiiii DON'T BE A FLIPPER IN FORES! AREAS, PORTLAND (fapl.) Regional For ester C. J, Buck Issued ft plea today to. sportsmen to help preserve their forest hunting grounds by being careful with camp fires, cigarettes and matches during the current hunt ing season. "Most sportsmen are good woods men," said the regional forester. "They know the rules of the woods, and follow them. However, there Is a careless, thoughtless minority that must be curbed If this Pacific north west Is to continue as a great hunt ing country." Of the total of 400 man-caused fires In the national forests this year, up to August 31, thoughtless smokers led the list with a total of 343 fires. Campers were second with 114 fires. Records for the past seven years show that hunters were re sponsible for one out of every four camper-smoker fires. "It la my hope," said Buck, "that every hunTer gets his game. But In the excitement of the chase, don t be a flipper. The carelessly tossed match or cigarette, landing in dry forest material, has been responsible for many a forest fire." The regional forester urged every foiBst visitor to be particularly care ful not to start fires in cut or burned over second growth or "brush land." Such areas are extremely has ardoua this year, he said. And yet these areas often contain the young forest growth upon which much of the future of Oregon and Washing ton depends, as timber states, he em phasized. "Let's all be on patrol to curb the flipper," Buck urged. One of the world's larger eating es tablishments l -at the Texas A. and M. college, where 2.800 students are fed three meals each day.
