THE WESTERN REGION.
RAIN, RAIN. RAIN.

All the Eastern slope Streams Assin ON
The railroads caught it again Tues
day night. The Rio Grande was
washed out in many places, the Den
yer & Gulf had to practically suspend
operations in Colorado, the Santa Fe
got into trouble around Pixies Peak,
and the Burlington was compelled to
abandon two trains ON the Lyons road.
This was because the rain. fell IN tor
rents on the water sheds above PueD-
10 and Colorado Springs and Canon
City, and the foods Of "a few days be-
fore were equalled and in some places
surpassed. Pueblo was in worse shape
from railroad standpoint than before.
The railroads in that vicinity had just
got into running order again.
The Rio Grande lost lot Of track
below Salida and between Colorado
Springs and Pueblo.
The Gulf road lost bridges on the
Colorado Central and above Pueblo.
The Santa Fe had wasl,out at
Colorado City which interfered with
travel on that road.

Mine. Starting Up.

Great activity will now be shown in
the Cripple Creek mines.
The mines that re-opened Monday
were the Independence, mostly with
union men; the Raven, with non-
union men; the Eclipse No. and the
Summit, with non-union men. The
various agreements provide that the
mine-owners may employ anyone they
please. The state troops are in at
tendance 10 see that the provision is
carried out.

mine will put Is men to work at once
and gradually increase the force.
At the Bucna Vista mine men have
already been put to work pumping out
the water. As soon as the workings
are dry miners will begin work.
The lngham mine starts up on
Thursday.
The general order--given all the
forcmen--is TO use their own discre-
tion in The selection OF men. All men
are to be given employment regardless
Of whether they are union members or

Petroleum shipped from C.sp.,.

The shipment Of petroleum from
Caspar has commenced and the first
car Of oil has been sold. 1t was or
dered by the receiver Of the Denver,
Union Pacific & Gulf railroad and a
tank car was shipped from Caspar. Tho
oil is for use ON the Outline.
As a result the town is jubilant as it
is confidently believed that tho use Of
the lubricant will be so satisfactory
that it will result in its being put into
general use all along the line.
Recently the oil fields have been
visited several times by the Gulf Off
cials. This, with the fact that the
proposed pipe line is almost assured, is
causing great cor fidence among the
citizens that the pending contract be-
tween the Pennsylvania Oil co mpany
and the Gulf receiver will soon be
closed. by this contract the road will
use Caspar oil and give it reasonable
transportation from Salt Creek, the
terminus Of the pipe line. to Grin
Junction.
This means that grand rush will
be made to the Caspar oil fields and
development work p ushed very active
ly, and it follows tn 1t Caspar, as the
Quitting point Of the oil region, will
boom as never before.

S~sV ~ DSss1S0s
At meeting Of the coal miners and
operators, held at Columbus, Ohio, on
the 18th, = compromise was agreed
upon which will probably end the
great strike. The scale was agreed
upon as follows:
Pittsburg, thin vein, So cents; thick
vein, &C cents; Hooking Valley, 60
cents; Indiana block, 70 cents; streat-
OF, Illinois, 62i cents for summer and
70 cents for winter; Bloomington, H.
linois, 773 cents for summer and IS
cents for winter; La Sale and Spring
Valley, Illinois, 72i cents for summer
and 80 cents for winter. Other sec
tions in Northern Illinois fields at
prices relative to the above.
The agreement is not to take effect
until Monday, June 18th, the miners
desiring to have week to submit the
matter to the various districts, as much
opposition to the compromise is ex-
pected and the miners will have to be
prepared to accept it.
T. b. Mcguire, q member Of the ex-
ecutive board Of the Knights Of Labor,
when told Of the terms Of settlement
made to the miners said: well, Of
course, the prices are not as good as
They expected, but under the circum-
stances l think it good thing. There
is no doubt whatever in my mind that
the men who have been making all
this trouble and melting others to riot
were put there by the operators. They
knew that as soon IS they got to riot
ing the militia would be called out,
and then everything would go their
way"

DIR. Patrick Booth, of Oxford, whose
testimony to his high esteem of the
Union Central Life Insurance Com
pany was published in these columns
some time ago, died recently. He
carried a policy in the Union Central
and it was paid as promptly as any
death calm ever was paid in all the
history of life insurance in this coun-
try. The proof of his death reached the
home Office in Cincinnati on Saturday
Sept. 9Th, and Monday morning 10th, a
check was in Raleigh to pay the claim,
having been drawn the same day that
the proof of death was sent in.
No company Is more prompt In pay
ing death claims than the Union Gen.
trail and its policies are the most lib
eral written, and at the same time
cheaper than ordinary Old Line insu-
rance. The Editor of THE DEMOCRAT
Is the local agent here.
