RIGHT ARM TORN OFF.
Agonizing Accident at Columbia That
Nav Cost Life.

May Cost Life.
Edward L. Heper, young man 26 years of
age, of the firm of Heoler Bros, carpenters and
builders Mt Columbia, met with an accident at
the Columbia sawmill yesterday whereby he
lost his right arm and may lose his life.
Tuesday morning the new sawmill at Column
bia commenced operations and Hepler accepted
position in the mill as an assistant on the
planer. Yesterday afternoon between l and
O'Clock he was at work on the
planer when some shavings blocked the cylinder
which was turning at the rate of 5000 revolu-
tons minute. His shirt sleeve caught or the
revolving cylinder, while he attempted to re-
move the shavings, and in second his right
arm near to the shoulder was drawn into the
machine, and the limb from the finger tips to
above the elbow was broken in a dozen places.
The elbow was crushed and the flesh from the
shoulder down was torn in strips. The man.
gled arm stopped the cylinder and the belts
were slipping on the pulleys, when Engineer
Thomas Bell stopped The machinery by throw
ing off the belt from the drive wheel
The injured man showed great pluck and will
power. As soon as he was caught he shouted:
"Shut down the engine, Bell"
1t took half dozen men fully five minutes to
extricate the injured man from his terrible posi-
ton. The cyi;i,der of the planer had to be re-
moved entirely During this time Hepier did
not once lose consciousness Finding that he
was liable to bleed to death, with his left hand
Hepler seized the artery of his right arm at the
shoulder. and pressing his thumb against the
vein, he temporarily stopped the flow of blood
When he finally extricated, the young man
was suffering such great pain that he begged his
companions in mercy 10 kill him. The mill hands
bound up the lacerated arm with towels, and
DIR. johnson, of Columbia was sent for. He de-
cded that the arm must come of, and sent to
Seattle for DR.. Mitchell to assist him. The arm
was ampu'ated near the shoulder last evening.
Heplcr Is MARI ed, but his wife is in Iowa.
With four brothers, all older than himself. he
came TO Seattle last March. short time ago
they bought property at Columbia, and all
erected comfortable homes, and are in easy cir
cumstances

carnival which was advertised TO be given at

THE STEAMBOAT ASSOCIATION.
Canadian Pacific and Pacific Navigation
Companies Threaten Withdrawal.

TACOMA, Aug. 27.-tspecial. THE Puget
Sound Steamboat Association met here today
to consider the withdrawal of the Canadian
Pacific Navigation Company, bat nothing was
done except to adjourn till Tuesday. it not be-
ing deemed expedient to consider the PROPOSE
ton OF the Canadian Pacific to withdraw when
there were only few members of the pool in
attendance.
Those present were: Captain Hatch, of the
Bailey Gatzert; Captain Sans, of the Multno-

the Puget Sound & Alaska Steamship Company;
Agent Peck, of the Clara Brown: Captain Green,
of the Eastern Oregon, representing the Cana

man Moffatt. of the Steamboat Association.
Some of the members claim that the pool will
be badly crippled, and possibly broken up,
should the Pacific Navigation Company with
draw That company, it is said, bases its
grievance upon the allegation that the North
ern Pacific turns over all of its through Sound
business to points in this state to the Puget

this company withdraw from the pool, it is of
course expected that it will cut rates, in the
hope of making inroads into the business of its

ton of 1889 s16. 900, so that the
S21 100000 worth of tin of 1889 will
cost us with the Mckinley tax paid
s37, 10000. The s16,196.00o of
this increased price represents the
fraudulent profit that American man
ufacturers are authorized by the Nc
Kinley bill to collect.
The profit, so authorized, amounts
to 80 per cent. above the cost of for
eign tin. not counting in freight and
brokers' fees. For every dollars
worth of tin made in the United
States the consumer is sentenced to
pay fine of 80 cents, to be collected
by the American maker, while for
every dollars worth of foreign tin the
consumer is fined 80 cents, collected
by the Treasury.
In considering these figures the
consumer need not concern himself
with whether or not tin plates will be
dipped in the United States. Wheth-
err they are or not, this act of legisla-
ton raises the price of dollars
worth of tin in this market to $3.50,
and this extra 80 cents on the dollar
is to be paid by American labor.
No foreigner will do single hours
work to pay it. Every cent of it
must be made good by American
sweat. When taxes on prices are in
creased in America, the difference
comes out Of the earnings Of Ameri-
can labor. 1t can come from no.
where else, for wealth is produced
only by labor, and if these laws take
wealth from one class to give it to
another, which has not earned it, the
class that loses it is the class that has
labored to earn it. The tax Of $16,-
10000 which the tin plate conspi-
rators have levied on the people
means that so much more work must
be done by those who do the work of
the country, and that the return for
this work shall go not to those who
earned it, but to those who are strong
enough and insolent enough to en-
force a demand to be fostered by gov
eminent at the expense of American
labor.-St. Louis Republic.
Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1891-06-24

100000. The water thus disclosed in
the stock amounts to s101 100000.
The dividends declared by the roads
amounted to $4,330,0OO, in 1885; they
have steadily increased until in 1890
they were a trife over $4,000. 900.
Mr.. Richardson labors show that the
dividends would be much larger ex-
cept for the fact that large sums are
annually expended in the improve.
ment of way, track, equipment, etc.
All sums thus expended together with
land grants, municipal and private
aid represent railroad profits as much
as the dividends actually divided
Railroads are well treated in Michi-
gan they pay less tax and show more
profits than the average in the United
States. This is clearly proven by the
fact that they receive for carrying one
passenger and one ton of freight one
mill per mile more than in the aver
age of states. The increase in revenue
from this source alone will more than
pay all railroad taxes in this State.
Michigan is good State for railroads
with her more than 100000 Of PEG.
Pile the State being rich in agricul.
ture, natural forests, mines, and health
and pleasure resorts.
Railroad corporations which are the
recipients of princely grants from the
government and large donations from
the people, ought not to oppose in
crease of tax on the ground that they
do not pay large dividends on water
ed stock. The increase of tax as pro.
posed by the Richardson bill is only
one tenth of one per cent. on the cap
ital invested, and equals s25s,00O.
Ten of the dividend paying roads will
pay over $4,000 of this proposed in
crease. The balance of $4,000 will
be distributed among forty different
roads having nearly 5000 miles of
track in operation, some of which have
paid dividends and some have land
grants.
The justice of the proposed increase
of taxation and the great necessity for
it are indisputably shown by the fact
that the tax on railroad properties in
this State is now only 28.100 Of one
per cent; while the rate of taxation
on all other properties is more than
II per cent. Thus the ordinary tax
payer pays about six times the taxes
paid by railroad companies.
1t seems incredible that the rep.
resentatives of the people should fail
to remedy the injustice to the people
and the great favoritism to the rail-
roads disclosed by these figures
