THE POWDER EXPLODED.
Few Particulars Learned of the Dyna-
mite Explosion at Bernice.

Coroner Blown ana jury investigated
the dynamite explosion which occurred
near Bernice on the Goth, causing the
death of Linter Mackela. at an inquest
held last evening at Duggans undertake
ing rooms. The verdict was that Mack :;
elias death was the result of an acci-
dental explosion of giant powder.
Coroner Brown Went to Bernce yester-
day and took the evidence of William
Holmes who was first to go to the assist
ance of Mackela and his partner In
Holmes deposition he said he heard cries
for help and going in the direction from
whence they came. found Cackela lying
on the ground in helpless condition.
Holmes said that Mackela told him he
and his partner Heikkila had moved into
a cabin that afternoon and that when
they built a fire in the stove they found
there. an explosion occurred. Holmes
stated that his partner had used the cab
in last and that he thought the powder
had been left in the stove by him as he
had been in the habit of putting powder
in the stove to thaw it. Holmes said he
thought there could be no doubt that was
the way the powder came in the stove as
he knew Mackela and did not believe he
ever had an enemy. at least, not one who
would wish to do him any serious injury.
Last evening the jury impaneled to
hear the testimony. visited the Sisters
hospital and took the evidence of Helix
kla. who was lMackela's partner. All
Hekkla knew was that he and Mackela
moved into the cabin during the after
noon of the Goth and when they built a
fire iii the evening. the explosion occur
red. He said he could give no informa-
ton as to how the powder came in the
stove.

1t is coming to be more rec
ognized as time goes on that to connect
in any way the names of James J. Hill,
with any railway system Or enterprise is
to Immediately have the effect of builing
its stock. This condition followed the an
nouncement that the Great Northern had
secured controlling interest in the
Northern Pacific and despite the fact
that President Mellen declared that that
rumor had vastly injured the business of
that road and caused it damage which
it Woul! require months to recover from,
close observers of subsequent events now
agree that the sharp advance in Northern
Pacific stock Immediately after the ru-
NOR was sent abroad was due almost en-
urely TO the expectation that within a
short time it would prove true.
since the announcement of his connec-
tion with the Northern Pacific there have
been several more authenticated stories
sent abroad to the effect that Hill had
become interested in other roads In
each case the rumOrS have been followed
Immediately by marked advance in the
stock Of those roads. This was true of
! tthe announcement that Mr. Hill had
been included in the directorate of the
vancing several points 1t was true in
greater measure of the Erie road. upon
the announcement that Hill had become
director of that road
Mr.. He'll denied, in a recent interview
in st. Paul, thai he had any intention of
attempting a big combine of the rail-
roads of the Northwest, saying that the
project was too big for any man to ham
dle but if it became necessary to organ
iZe such combine in order to protect
the roads from the injurious effects of
rate cutting and similar wars, there is
no man now in whom the investors would
have greater confidence in his ability to
handle such an undertaking than this
same James j. Hill.
President Hill is popular man with
, the employees of the Great Northern
road Notwithstanding the fact that he
never hesitates to express his opinion in
regard to the manner in which work
! is done. In his trips over the road he is
continually on the lookout for bad places.
When he passes a low joint he always
] takes pains to inform the superintend-
/ ent of the division personally. If there
! happens to be an overhanging rock that
! appears to be loose, he tells the superin-
j tendent to have it removed. One pecu-
liarity of Mr.. Hill is that he has won-
derful memory for figures and knows
/ the financial condition of every city and
/ town that his road passes through. If
/ he is told that a town has bonded in
! debtednes of $4,000 he will always re-
/ member it, and five years later, while
/ passing through the town will make
some remark in regard to it, The en-
pioyes of the road know that he Is al

remarkable results One report which
came to hand yesterday from the Short
Lines representative in a region under
enc irrigation company contains the
name of ninety settlers ana purchase sers
of land all of whom have gone into Ida
ho from points beyond that state and
Utah during the year. These colonists
have purchased in all a total of 1.2l6
acres of land for farming in tracts rang
ing from three acres to 200 acres. There
are but two cases where the settlers
have taken the last amount. The aver
age number OF acres purchased by each
is eighty. The land costs on an average
of $23 an acre. and the sales by this one
agent therefore amount to about $l65, 900
