      OBITUARY

      HABORITE DIES IN CAR SMASHUP AT FORT LEWIS
      Charles H. Hoover, Log Scaling Official, Killed; son and four other hurt.
      Charles H. Hoover, veteran Harbor log scaler, was killed and five other persons were injured Saturday afternoon on the double pavement south of Fort Lewis, when the left front tire of the Hoover machine blew out, causing the Hoover machine, driven by Charles Hoover Jr., to swing broadside into a machine driven by Charles J. Bartolet, state superintendent of hydraulics.
      The machines crashed with terrific force with the Hoover car catching fire after rolling over. A bus which arrived on the scene immediately after the accident rushed the injured to Fort Lewis hospital where Mr. Hoover died an hour and a half later. After being given first aid treatment Mr. Bartholet, his wife and two daughters were taken to St Peter's hospital in Olympia, while young Hoover was brought to Hoquiam General hospital and later was removed to his home, suffering from fractured ribs.
      The accident occurred without a second's warning, according to witnesses. Mr. Hoover and his son were returning from Tacoma and were driving at moderate speed on the double pavement. The sudden collapse of the left front tire caused Young Hoover to lose control of his machine and it swerved across the dirt strip onto the other pavement directly in the path of the oncoming Bartholet car.
      The victim was crushed when the nose of the Bartholet car jammed thought the side of his machine. The machine caught fire as it rolled over, but the driver and passengers of a bus succeed in extricating the victims, as well as those in the Bartholet car.
      Mr. Hoover was one of the outstanding log Scalers of the Pacific Coast, last October leaving as manager of the Grays Harbor Log Scaling bureau to take over the management of the Pacific Coast bureau, where he coordinated a universal ---------------------program------. He had offices in Tacoma.
      He resided at 504 L. Street, Hoquiam. He came to Grays Harbor several years ago, living in Aberdeen for a time. Prior to coming to Grays Harbor, he spent several years in the Columbia River district in the scaling business. He was raised in the Kelso district.
      He is survived by his widow; a daughter, Margaret, a student at Stanford University; a son, a student at Marymont School, Tacoma. Miss Hoover arrived home last night from Stanford.
      Adolph Bloom, manager of the Grays Harbor Log Scaling bureau and a close associate of Mr. Hoover, arrived on the scene a few moments after the accident. He said it was one of the worst wrecks he had ever seen.
      Mr. Hoover was born in Woodburn, Oregon and was 48 years of age. Funeral services were held this afternoon at the Pinnick chapel under auspices of the Masonic lodge. Cremation followed
