SEVEN MEN KILLED.
Fatal Accident on Torpedo Boat Da-
Wis on Her Trial Trip.

Wis on Her Trial TIP
ASTORIA. Or, oct. 21.-The torpedo
boat Davis, which started on its official
trial trip yesterday, was disabled by
the bursting of a number of boiler
tubes Eight of the crew were badly
scalded, and seven of them died soon
after reaching here. The dead are c.
McNeeley, p. Luithe. II. Woods. w.
Woods, b. Ryan, A. Johnson and A.
Buehl.
The accident occurred in the Column
bia river about 20 miles above this
city. The nature of the explosion has
not been made known, and the exami-
nation Of the boilers will be required
10 determine exactly what part OF the
boilers burst.
The best theory obtainable is that
some of the tubes OF the outward boiler
exploded owing to a arrangement of the
automatic water gauge which permit
ted the water 20 get too low. Except
ing for the havoc naturally wrought In
the boiler room the boat is uninjured.
One of the men on the Davis said: TT
Is impossible to tell whether the tubes
in the boiler or a steam pipe burst. All
we know is that an explosion occurred.
The boiler room was filled with boiling
water and steam. and the men in the
room were scalded so badly that seven
Of them died"
The Davis carried 40 men all told She
was one of two torpedo boats recently
built by Wolfe & Sewicker at Portland
and was soon TO have gone into COM
mission. AT the time OF the accident the
boat was in charge of the official trial
board. The officers decline to make any

THE CONSERVATIVE CH1NEsE.


The Chinese ais race are the most
conservative people on the globe, as
their history proves. They argue that
tner ways OF life are the best possible
ways, seeing that their CHIEF concern
lies in securing the happiness OF the
Individual on earth and the welfare OF
the state. War is held IN abhorrence by
them, and they are more truly Chris
tans in this respect, practically and
not theoretically, than the Christians
Themselves. The Chinaman Is a man OF
10 ideals; that which he Is taught TO
believe is right he practices, and re-
mains faithful to 1t.
We can see that people OF other ma

try gradually assimilate their life. type,
creed and language to those peculiar TO

Will Do What They Can,


The Two Harbors News, noting the
arrival there of Messrs. Carhart, Engel-
son and Johnson, says:
'The efforts Of Cook county's enterpris-
ing people to secure winter communica-
tion with the outside world other than
by dog train or packing, are deserving of
hearty cooperation by this county to as
great an extent as conditions will per-
NIT. Our county road and bridge fund
Is not in healthy condition, because of
the expenditures necessary to complete
the improvements Of last season. The
overdraft January Let was $3OO7.74.
However, as 1t is the intention to build
the road across the entire county, any
preliminary work it is possible to do now
should be done. The county commits
sioners will undoubtedly give the matter
due consideration just as soon as it is
regularly brought to their attention., and
we assure our neighbours that they will
do all they can for them" :.

only run about six month in the year,
we must have connection by road with
the outside world aud we have voted the
$11 600 bonds to do our share Of road
and bridge making.
But first Of all we must get the "a
mile gap between Beaver Bay in Lake
county and the western boundary OF
Cook county closed. This would give
us access to the railroad at Two Harbors
and would be Of inestimable benefit TO
lumbermen and mining men as we'll IS
to the residents Of Cook county. IL this
road were made the winter trip between
Two Harbors and Grand Marais, eighty
nine miles. can be made by stage in two
days time. At present we are dependent
upon the primitive dog team and half
breed dog puncher. Everybody who has
ever had anything to do with such an
outfit knows how exesperating and inef-
fective is this mode Of communication
with distant points. We shall do all We
can to make the Lake county commits
sioners comprehend our view of the stu
alton and we feel that our Duluth friends
might, with profit to themselves, exert
what influence they can bring to bear
upon the Lake county officials to get
this gap closed and to obtain feasible
overland route in the winter to Grand
Marais and other points on the Mime.

and il the country is obliged to wait en-
tirely on the iron develop ments it will
not have railroad for some years to
come, with good chances Of never having
one. Then, again, the construction Of a
railroad depending entirely on iron de-
velopements is extremely doubtful, be-
cause the moment iron Developments
are made of sufficient Importance to at.
tract the attention Of the corporations
now in control Of the established iron
range there can be no assurance given
that those in charge Of the iron develop
ments in the Gunfint country will not
sell out, regardless Of any other interests
and in that way the iron interests not in
the combination will be more efectually
tied up than are the Independent mine
owners on The Vermillion and Mesaba
ranges today. The promoters Of our pro-
ject do not intend to ask for any con-
cessions from the property owners or tie
up any interest in the country until
demonstration is made showing good
faith and purpose to do something for
the good Of all. And besides, this is not
a sectional plan looking to the develope-s
ment of the Gunflint interest at the ex-
pense of other and perhaps more impor-
tant interest. The plans outlined will.
prove of as much benefit to Grand Ma
rals as lone road from Grand Marais to
Gunflint possibly could be, and will also
prove Of inestimable benefit to every ln-
terest along the whole shore between,
Duluth and Pigeon river, and brings
those points in direct communication
with the outside world. What the in
:habitants and property owners of the
north shore want at this time is such an
enterprise as this that will subserve
every interest along the whole Shore,
For many years the owners Of GunAint
iron lands have had an opportunity to
show what they could do, and the people
are tired of waiting. There is no dlspo-
s1tion to antagonize any interests in the
country by these plans, but Gunfint iron
interests have had years of time to do
something, and now the diversified inter-
ests, which include not only iron but 9TH
er mineral nearer the shere, are going to
move and accomplish somethlng."
In conclusion this gentleman said that
while questionably the mineral re-
sources of Lake and Cook counties will
prove OF the utmost Importance, the
through business Of the proposed road
between Duluth and Port Arthur and
Pacific coast points by connection with
the Canadian Pacific, and the traffic that
will come from the Rainy Lake conneo-
tion, will afford large and stable reve-
nue., to say nothing of the lumber bust
ness that will be developed, will make
the enterprise safe and desirable in
vestment.

TALKED ROADS.

Through a Reporter Treasurer Johnson
Enlightens the Outside World on.
the Necessity OF a Stage Line. ~
Duluth Herald
The first party of north shore residents
to arrive by water at Two Harbors came
into that port on Thursday night last in
sail boat. They were Charles J. John
son, treasurer of Cook county; G. Il. Car
hart, register of deeds, both of Grand
Marais, and County Commissioner Hans
Engelson, postmaster at Tufte, in the
same county,.
The prime object of these hardy from
tiersmen in making such an arduous and
hazardous trip at this season of the year,
is the intense desire of Cook county's
people to get wagon road connection
with the outside world before the advent
OF next winter. Already Cook county
has fair winter road from Grand Marais
west to the boundary between Lake and
Cook counties, but from that point to
Beaver Bay, in Lake county, there is a
gap of "a miles that is only to be trav-
ersed in winter by dog-train and even
then with much harship and difficulty.
To show that they, are prepared to
keep their end up in the matter the Cook
county folks on march Is voted road and
bridge bonds to the amount of $l1, 900,
and Treasurer johnson is on his way to
st. Paul to dispose of those bonds. Mr..
johnson said:
ave left Grand Marais last Tuesday.
We had not boat suitable to make the
whole trip by water, So We took an In
dian and dogs and went over the mail
route to Tufte, where we were Joined by
Mr.. Engelson; from there we went over
land along the trail to Beaver Bay. Here
we succeeded il getting small sailboat.
almost a scow. sixteen feet long by 7-foot
beam and sail off large fish boat. Ia
this we started before aheavy northeast
sea for Two Harbors, twenty-n,ne miles
distant, making the trip in four hours
without mishap. One of the party, how
l 81
ever, has since told me privately that a
dog train is good enough for him at this
time of the year and that wher am 90
ing atioat in washtub again to count
him out. To tell the truth the trip was
q risky one, but, once We were fairly well
out in the sea, we could donothine but
90 ahead. 4. .:. /. s55::S .sisas
"As to the stage road from Two. Har-
bors to Grand Marais, we want5i badly,

are now in Cook county settlements
talong the north shore at Tote, Lutsen,
Grand Marais and Chicago Bay. Here
