GOOD WATER FROM TREES.
Wells which willy Southern Woods
men Tap With an Auser.

Wells which willy Southern Woods
men Tap with an Au.er.
In many sections Of the forest lands
Of the south during the dry seasons a
man may walk for miles without and
ing a stream of water or a spring by
which to quench his thirst. If, how
ever. he is an experienced hunter and
woodsman, be will not have to drink
water from the stagnant pools in order
to keep life in his body.
Queer as it may seem, an experienced
man can hunt for days through such
dry tracts and yet experience no in
convenience on account of the lack of
water. Nature has provided a means
which Is only known to the initiated.
Every old huntsman carries with him
when going on a long hunt small au-
ger, by which he can secure refresh
ing drink and water to cook with at
any moment.
A cottonwood tree or a willow is the
well which the willy huntsman taps.
lie examines each tree until he finds
one that has what woodsman calls a
"vein." 1t is simply an attenuated
protuberance. BY boring into this
"vein" a stream Of clear water will
flow out. 1t is not sap. but clear, pure
water. The huntsmen say that the
water is better than the average to be
had from ordinary wells. There is no
sweetish taste about It. but it has a
strong flavor of sulphur and is slight
~ carbonated.
The reason for this phenomenon cam
not easily be explained. but that sup
ply of water can he contained in tree
is not so surprising. The fact of it's
flowing is the wonderful feature, show
ing that is must be under pressure or.
in other words. that there is more at
the source of the supply. When it is
considered that the trees furnish the
water in the dry season and that the
ground is literally baked, it is the more
remarkable. especially when the roots
of the trees do not extend to any great
depth into the ground.-Memphis Scim-

the organization would unquestionably
be accorded at future date.
"While your committee regret to re-
port that they were unable to secure all
the concessions we hoped for, and be-
Iieve we are justly entitled to, we are OF
the opinion that the willingness of the
various coal companies to receive com
mittees representing Mine Workers, for
the adjudication of grievances, records
an important advance step in the right
direction, and presages more harmonious
and equitable relations between en-
ployers and employees than have prevail
ed in the anthracite region heretofore.
"In consideration OF the vast interests
involved aud in view of the fact that at
least partial recognition of the organiza-
tion has been secured, and with the
hope that a greater degree of justice will
be secured in the not distant future,
your committee, to whom was delegated
the power and authority to determine
whether work should cease or continue
after April /, would respectfully recon-
mend that work be continued, and that
committees be selected at each mine,
colliery, stripping and washery, and in
structed to wait upon the mine superin-
tendents or other persons in authority,
and in IA respectful, conservative, fear
less and able manner present any griev-
ance, either as to prices or conditions of
employment, that the Mine Workers
may have, and ask that such grievances
be adjusted.
"We would further recommend and
urge upon mine workers everywhere to
refrain from engaging in local strikes,
except when authorized by the district
presidents in accordance with the con-
sttuton and laws of the national and
district organizations. II this policy is
adhered to we believe that the work OF
our organization to establish humane
and progressive methods OF adjusting
wage differences will be very much faci-
itated."

MINERS DECIDE
NOT TO STRIKE
Operators Promise Them a
Joint Conference.
Convention at WiIkesbarre
Agrees to Accept Assur-
ances Given in New York
to President Mitchell.

The meeting of the anthracite district
executive boards OF the United Mine
Workers made public their decision on
the question Of striking at 0 o'clock
Friday night. As intiinated last We'd
nesday in the Tribune, President Nit
chell and the district presidents were
given assurances in New York city by
representatives of the operators that
the miners claims would be considered.
The formal recognition of the union
and joint general conference of en-
ployers and employees to adjust the wage
scale and other grievances affecting the
entire industry will come at future
date.
The assurances given the officials of
the union by persons authorized to rep
resent the operators have been accepted
by the miners, and the Wilkesbarre
convention, in consideration of such
concession and to prove that the en-
ployes are willing to go half way to
effect settlement of the issues in
volved, agreed to continue work
The decision of the convention
reached Frseland shortly before 10
o'clock Friday night and was welcomed
by all who heard it.
STATEMENT BY EXECUTIVE BOARD.
The officers of the executive board
issued the following statement to all the
anthracite miners:
I'm prosecuting the duties assigned to
us, your committee addressed a COM
munication to each of the presidents of
the coal-carrying railroads, inviting
them to join us in holding joint con
ference with representatives of the Mine
Workers. Failing to receive any favor
able replies to our invitations, sub
committee composed of the national and
district presidents proceeded to the city
of New York, and through the instru-
mentality and assistance of influential
friends of organized labor conference
was secured with representatives of the
coal-carrying railroads, at which your
committee presented the claims of the
Mine Workers in as able and lucid a
manner they were capable Of
The representatives of the operators
listened attentively to the presentation
of our arguments, and while they would
not agree to meet in general joint con-
ference with the miners this year, they
did agree that the notices which were
posted continuing the advance in wages
until April l, 1902, and agreeing to take
up and adjust with their mine employees
any grievances they might have, should
be interpreted and construed to mean
that such grievances should be consid-
cred and adjusted with representatives
or committees of the Mine Workers;
and they held out the hope that if
during the present year the Mine Work
ers demonstrated their willingness and
ability to abstain from engaging in local
strikes, full and complete recognition of
