Of the Northern Pacific Visits
Astoria. -
SAYS THAT BUSINESS is GOOD
Does Not Believe the Courts Will
Divide the Property to Its
Injury.

Among the distinguished visitors In
the city yesterday was Mr.. Geo. w. Dick
inson, assistant general manager OF the
Northern Pacific Railroad, with headquar-
ters alt Tacoma. Mr.. Dickinson Is a
great friend of Mr.. Hammond, and was
much Interested in the letting of con-
tracts for the first ten miles of the Co
BILE road and no doubt came down to
see how matters were going. He return
ed to Portland on the evening boat.
To an Astorian representative he
said: "As to general business, / can say,
that judging from affairs in Tacoma, 1t
is improving. A great many small stores
and business offices have been opened
which employ from three to fve men,
and this is what makes buslness-occu-
patton among the masses.
"Eastbound traffic on the Northern Pa
cifc in lumber shingles and Oriental
freight Is remarkably good. Westbound
business is not SO good, but 1t Is much
better than 1t was last year at this time.
That has been one trouble with the Nor
thern Pacifc-westbound business is not
as heavy as eastbound. We have the
terminal facilities, stations, side tracks
and machinery with which to do three
times the business we are now handling
with perfect ease. ut would cost a new
road, like the Great Northern, $40, 900
to acquire such facilities as the Northern
hes. We are prepared for any demands
of the future"
What do you think win be the out
come of the Ives suit against the present
Northern Pacific receivers?"
mo one can tell anything about II un-
til October 2, when the case comes on
for hearing. There Is not much proba-
bility that the road will be divided into
states, although 1t has been done In other
instances. Such action would be greatly
to the detriment of the property"
Have you put in your bid yet for the
first ten miles OF the Goble road?'
II am not here to bid, as my time is
too much occupied in running railroads
to permit me to engage in building
them. / am interested in seeing Asto- |
ria get a good read and as / was in |
Portland thought I would run down and |
see how matters were going"

Mr.. II. E. Thomas, of Engine House No.

cuured OF chronic ulcer and blood disease.
And so the list might be extended in
definitely, but these may suffice to con-
vince the most skeptical that DR.. Walker
cures.

STARVED In ELDORA MINE
Victims Reached by Rescuers After
Fourteen Days.
Appeared as Though They May Have
Pninles>ly Gone to Their Death
Through the Influence of Gases.

New York, Sept 16.-A Herald special
received by the Australian steamer, Mio-
vera, say that the bodies of the victims
of the Eldora mine disaster have been re-
covered after two weeks labor.
The men were working In McAvers mine
when the banking made TO keep off the
river gave way, filling the outlets of the
mine with slum.
They were imprisoned, and almost within
hearing of the rescuers, were starved tn
death. II took exactly fourteen days to
reach the dying men, and by that time all
were beyond the need of assistance. Evil
dence of the terrible sufferings of the
poor fellows at the last moments was most
heartrending.
Believing that they would be eventually
reached by wouId-be rescuers, but knowing,
too. that it would be too late, the men
evidently held an ante-mortem council, for
most OF them wrote letters to friends and
relatives from their living graves, and there
were other evidences of solemn intercourse
before death ended their terrible suf-
ferings.
Ill but one of the men were found in a
naturally formed chamber, lying side by
side quietly as If sleeping. They wore
peaceful expressions, and must before
death have been iulled to sleep by the gem
Grated gases.
BY the letters left they had, however,
been in conversation together for twenty
four hours after their fearful imprison-
meDt. The following is one of the letters,
verbatim, of a victim, written in pencil:
II am getting faint, no air. God pro-
tect me for the sake of my poor children
and wife. Lizzie look after them q nd bring
them up good. The money lhave inmy box
and bank is to be divided among the little
ones. Make the best of what have saved.
God will be good to them. Kiss them for
fathers sake. l forgive my enemies. Love
to all that are dear to ME. Goodbye, my
dearest children.
CHARLES DAWKINS."
The messages were written in the dark
and ii took six hours to decipher them. A
searching Investigation Will be held, as 1t
is said the dyke protecting the mines
from the river was criminally neglected.

Emerson Institute.

This well-known school, located at 914
Fourteenth street northwest, is select
classical and mathematical school for
young men and boys, preparatory to the
various colleges and scientific schools and
to the United States Military and Naval
Academies. 1t was established by its pres
ent principal, Charles b. Young, AN,
Ph.D., in 1852, and from it have probably
graduated more young men of note than
from any like Institution in the United
States. Mr.. Young is a born teacher.
The course of study is regulated by the re-
qurements of Harvard, The strictest and
most thorough of all, and year after year
Mr.. Young's boys are cnmplimented upon
the mastery showing they make in our
leading universities and scientific schools.
The institute also presents the advantages
of a faculty of the highest grade Of ac-
complishrnents and qualifications for spe-
cial work. The alumni numbers many hum
dreds of men now prominent In professional
circles, many of whom were, or are, the
sons of Presidents, Senators, Congressman,
judges, and general officers of both army
and navy.

MISERY OF CANAL MULES
Poor Brutes Half Starved and In
humanity Treated.
CASE FOR HUMANE SOCIETY
Mn iority of the Animals Full of Gall
Ing Sores Made Worse and More
Painful by Stupid Treatment or
Carelessness-Nothi But Skin and
Boncs-Working Six Days Il Week.

The attention of Tie Times having been
called 10 the ill-treatment of the animals
used on the towpath of the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal between Cumberland, Md, and
Georgetown, yesterday a representative
of the paper visited the landing on Water
street at the foot of Thirtieth northwest.
Here the reporter found twenty-five or
thirty horses and mules hitched to posts
and rocks. Their condition was all that
was described, perhaps worse. There they
stood. under the beaming sun without even
an apology for shelter, one or two D:bbling
little hay, while the others looked on
hungrily and wistfully. This condition,
il is said, has existed all summer and is
likely to continue all winter and next
summer if not put STOP TO by the officers
of the Humane Society.
All these animals had just returned from
a trip from Cumberland, and sorricr
lot of beasts could hardly be found any
where.
FULL OF SORES.
OF the whole number more than half
showed marks of much inhuman treatment.
In many cases the sores were nearly healed,
but in others the wounds caused by the
CALLING collar were still fresh. one or two
of them being actually revolving TO the
sight
The greater part of the animals We're In
very poor condition. They had an appear
ance of having been trained down TO bone
and muscle. ANY way there was plenty
of evidence of bone though the presence of
muscle had to be left to the imagination
When it is know n that these animals work
day and night, rain or sunshine, in hot or
cold weather, for days at time, without
any let up or rest, it is no surprise that
they are dying by inches. "A trip" that is
to Cumberland and return, a distance of 36S
miles, is made in seven days, making an
average of fifty-two miles per day. The
load they have TO haul varies with the CON
dition of the water; when it is high load
is estimated at 125 tons and at low water
ranges from 80 to 80 tons.
NO REST FOR THE WEARY
ION the long trip to Cumberland four and
sometimes five animals are in harness, but
then there is no rest either day or night,
except Just long enough to feed man and
beast In this way the trip is made in three
days or at an average of sixty-four miles
a day. a day is consumed in unloading
if they are lucky enough to catch a return
fare" as they call it-and loading, and
then the return trip is again accomplished
in the remaining three days ofthe week.
The horses and mules belong mostly to
the boat men and a stock company at Cum
land, which sells to the canal men on easy
terms In all there are about $50 horses
and mules used in towing the canal boats
and there is no doubt but that those seen
yesterday were a fair sample of all the
others.
