The next day we started out 10 visit
Tongue river canyon. As there is no
trail down the canyon, we walked the
aume. It's built on trestle work sew
eral hundred feet above the bottom
Of the canyon.
It Clings to the sides Of the rocky
walls in some places, In others it
crosses deep gorges when the trestle
is 80 or 90 feet high. In two places
1t seemed a more feasible plan to 20
through the rocky points than around
them. So tunnels were blasted through
the solid granite. One Of these tun-
nels is 300 feet long.

Aume and in some places was let over

The cost Of the Aume was $4,000.
Along the side Of the Aume, on top Of
the trestle work, is a board about 8
inches wide placed there for the Hume
inspector to walk upon. We walked
on this board for two and q half miles
and then back. The scenery must be
seen TO have an idea formed Of the
granduer. Pen cannot describe il.
We took our kodak 80 as to be able to
carry a small portion Of the scenery
away with US.
II made us g trihe light headed TO
look down and see nothing but mar

trees and jagged rocks many feet
below.
We spent nearly the whole day in
the canyon and reached the commis-

supper provided for us at the board

The next morning we were obliged
to say goodbye 10 our new friends
though we did so reluctantly and not
until We had promised TO spend two

they would be very queer people who
would fail to enjoy themselves where
SO many took such pains to make
everything pleasant.

PHILADELPHIA STRIKE.
Railway Employees Dissatisfied With
the Terms of settlement.

Railway Employees Dissatisfied With
the Terms of settlement.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec 31.-When
the street railway strike was declared
off week ago and the strikers returned
to work. it was the understanding that
they were to have a hearing from the
Union Traction Company officials, at
which hearing the grievances of the
men could be presented. This hearing
was given last night, a committee of
the employees having a conference with
General Manager Beetem, which lasted
several hours. The result of the confer
ence, as stated in these dispatches last
night, was disappointing to the men,
particularly the refusal of the General
Manager to grant them 81 fora ten-hour
working day. Mr.. Beetem consented to
give the men that struck their old runs,
and to put the non-union men on as ex-
tras.
The propositions of Mr.. Beetem will
be submitted to a meeting of the strik
ers for action. Meanwhile the strike
leaders anticipate considerable opposi-
ton from the men to these PROPOSE
tions, and this afternoon the Execu-
tive Committee of the strikers met and
drew up an address to the Christian
League, Universal Peace Union,
Women's Health Protective Associa-
ton, Womans lion in Interest in
Labor, Single-TaX Society, Wesleyan
Brotherhood. Young Mems Congress
and Mrs. Dora Worthington Bellows.
The address follows:
acting upon the advice of yours and
many other leading societies in Phila-
delphia in bringing to a close the strike
which was inaugurated to bring about
our just deme nds, being assured that
If we would peaceably return to work
that they would assist US in every way
in their power to secure our demands,
which they felt were the first and right,
we now appeal at this time for your as
sistance, as we have been making
every effort in our power to secure
these demands, but so far have been
Unsuccessful.
Our men have become restless and
impatient We fear the worst, and
would kindly ask you to lend US your
assistance and aid in bringing about
Just and amicable adjustment of these
questions"
The situation seems to have assumed
a serious phase and another strike of
the motormen and conductors may oc-
cur. President Mahon of the Amalgam-
ated Association admits that the pros
poets for a peaceful adjustment of the
differences between the men and the
Union TrN 1tion Company is doubtful,
but IA using all his powers of per-
suasio oward furthering a policy of
moderal
A talk -o-lay with a number of the
members of the committee which
waited upon General Manager Beetem
evidenced that the general sentiment
was in favor of rejecting the PROPOSE
tions of the Traction Company, and de-
manding 50 for day of ten hours. The
demand of the men will be refused. On
this point the company is firm. If
another strike takes place the COM
pany will fight the men to the bitter
