FERNIE DISASTER
LATEST ESTIMATE PLACES LOSS
OF LIFE AT ISL.
Fifty More Bodies Have Been Taken Out and
the Work Is Still in Prosrsss-Owins to

Unfortunates.

Fernie, B. c., May 27.-Sundav
marked the recovery of so of the vic
tins OF the colliery disaster and the
town looked as if the angel of death
had passed over it. In the miners
section OF the town there were few of
the cottages which did not display the
badge of mourning.
The day was given over wholly to
funerals. There were close upon Is
OF them AND in most instances were
attended by none but the immediate
friends OF the family afflicted and at
the cemetery it frequently happened
that four or five little circles would be
around the open grave at the same
time. The victims are to have a GEM

up the bodies as they are lowered into
them. 1t is said that the coal company
has contracted for $50 of them and this
number, it is said, will probably repre-
sent the killed when the mine has been
fully explored.
Making the Mine Safe.
Since midnight on Saturday the
efforts of the men engaged in the rescue
work has been along the lines of max
ing the mine more safe for them in
their mission OF recovering the bodies,
as it has since been shown that nothing
in the shape of mine timber has been
left in the vicinity of the explosion
That no accidents have happened so far
is due solely to the excellent roof OF the
mine. Considerable difficulty was en-
countered during the earlier hours of
the morning, as the gas was very OPP
pressive, but upon the whole very good
progress was made
The total advance made by the rescue
party up till 6 o'clock was 300 feet,
but this brings them fully 5000 feet
into the mine and they are now prac-
tically up to the face of the workings OF
the No. . mine, the one in which
the explosion is believed to have oc-
cured. OF the remaining distance to
be traversed before the mine workings
can be said to be thoroughly explored
it is estimated that 800 feet will
cover it.
Expect to Find Bodies.
The rescue party is now close to one
of the rooms in which number of the
men were working and it was fully ex-
pected that at least 80 bodies will be
taken out this morning.
The names OF those whose bodies
were rescued before 6 o'clock this
evening were Henry Hawkins, Z. A..
Brown, Albion Carlson, George Rutlidge
and William Love.
There were number of horses in No.
2 mine at the time OF the explosion and
the stencil arising from their carcasses
was overpowering. An effort was made
to get rid Of them by eating them up
with lime, but this proved too slow and
finally it was decided to cut the car
casses up and remove them in pieces.
This was done and alternately Il section
of dead horse would be packed out on Il
stretcher to be followed by the body OF
a human and another section OF horse
in turn.

Olympia, May 26.-Governor Mcbride

The governor believes the first step

them at the coming elections.
He also expresses the belief that state

Saws Lobby Has Done No Good.

In all it's life this lobby has never per-
formed a single act conducive to the pub
lie good on the contrary, rotten to the
very core it has persistently sought to
corrupt the individual and to undermine
broken pledges-base betrayals of trust
and ruined regulations
The railroad lobby should be treated
as political outlaw-the hand OF every
man should be against it. 1t should be
made to pay the penalty of its manifold
crimes against the state. 1t should be
merclessly hunted to it's death. and
every political party should join in the
chase for no party that knowingly APP
proves it's methods-that affords ii aid
or COMFORTS worthy of the confidence
of the people.

What the Governor Thinks Of the Railroad
Lobby.

Governor Mcbride says Washington has
long been infested with an insolent and
corrupt railroad lobby; and one of the
most potent weapons for evil in its hands
is the pass system. This lobby is not
recruited from any one party alone;
among it's leaders. as we'll as in the rank
and file. may be found republicans and
democrats and populists 1t is recruited
from all political parties alike; or rather,
it would be more accurate to say. 1t has
no party. For the railroads first-for
itself second.
The people of the state are not unac-
Quainted with this lobby. Those who
have observed it's workings closely know
that it is tireless in it's efforts to prosti
tute conventions and legislatures to the
service of the railroads, and to incline
our public officials in favor of the hand

Regarding Railroad Commissions.

The attempt to regulate railroads and
to cure the evils complained of by direct
legislation has proven failure, the gov
ernor says, and has almost universally
given way to the commission system
This system has passed beyond the eX-
perimental stage. and has become, quite
generally, an accepted agency of admin
istra ton. Commissions have been estab-
lished in at least "a of our stateS-a fact
sufficient to show that the best thought
of the country has decided in favor OF
the commission system as the most eff
Gent means of regulation.
On the whole, the results have been
beneficial-rat ties have been reduced and
a better understanding and a kindlier
feeling have been brought about between
the railroads and the people.

why do their gifts always seek out those

The governor charges that the pass

given tickets.
State Constitution Against Passes.
The governor directs attention to the
state constitution, article II. section 90
Our state CONSTITUTING, article XII. sec
ton 20, uses this language:
No railroad or other transportation
company shall grant passes, or sell tick
cts or, passes at discount. other than

person holding any public office within

Keep Out Of Politics.

necessary power to fix, regulate and con-
troll freight and passenger rates. to pre-

Judgment be of inestimable value to the
state. Such a commission, uncontrolled
by the transportation companies, and
not actuated by any spirit of hostility
against them could and would treat both
the railroads and the people fairly. 1t

USING THE WATCH COMPASS.

dial represent the circuit of the heav-

If it is ten o'clock in the morning,
and you let X point toward the sun,
you will see that in two hours time
the sun will be on the meridian, or due
south; but as every half hour space
on your watch represents IS degrees,
the distance travelled by the sun in one
hour, it will travel two of these spaces
in two hours. In other words, at the
expiration of two hours the sun will
be on the meridian, and the meridian
is now, therefore, opposite to XI, be-
cause NJ is two half-hour spaces

If it is four O'Clock, the sun is four

AS a change from the tomato sauce
usually served with Dreaded lamb
chops, try an onion sauce made in
this way: Slice two or, if very small

for a few moments and drain. Put
them into just enough boiling water
to cover, add little salt, and cook
until tender. Cook together two ia
blespoonfuls each of -four and but
ter, and when perfectly smooth add
one-half pint of stock, three or four
tablespoonfuls OF cream, and one
tablespoonful each of salt and sugar
and a dash of cayenne. When the
onion is tender press it through a
colander and add the water in which
it has cooked.-N. Y. Post.

THEY CALL HIM A FAILURE.

They call him failure; he passes by
In clothes that were threadbare long ago;
His head droops forward that once was
high,
His step is unsteady and slouching and
slow.
The stubbles look gray on his wrinkled
face;
His eyes are heavy where pride once
shone;
He has stepped aside and has quit the race,
The hope that once led him to hurry has
flown.
They call him failure but one still clings
To the love that he gave her long ago;
She sits and she sews and she sometimes
sings
The words of brave songs that he used to
know.
Her face is fair and her eyes are bright
And still her kiss on his lips is pressed
When he shiftlessly shambles home at
night
With a shriveled heart IN his sunken
breast.
They call him a failure; they DO not know
That he still is majestic in her glad sight;
Though she tolls for him and is foolish, oh,
He still is her girlhood' s glorious knight.

WATCH AS A COMPASS.
II You Are Lost at Land or Sea Your
Timepiece Will Aid You to Find
Your Way Home.

If you ever get lost in a forest or
drift out to sea in your sailboat the
face of your watch will serve as com
pass to help you find your way home,
provided you can see the sun. You
have only to hold the watch fiat in
your hand, with the hour mark then
indicated as the time of day pointed
directly at the sun, and point half
way between that hour mark and
XII will be opposite to due south in
the sky.
For example, supposing that it is ten
o'clock in the morning, hold the watch
so that the mark X points straight at
the sun, and the mark NJ, half way
between the X and MI, will be point
ing toward the south.
Or, supposing it is four o'clock in the
afternoon, hold the watch so that iii
points straight at the sun, and the
mark ii, half way between iii and
MI, will be pointing toward the south.
This rule is infallible, as you may
find by testing it at any hour of the
day, for it is based on very simple
scientific principle. The entire circuit
OF the heavens, as traversed by the
sun in "A hours, is reckoned 800 de-

POLLY AND MOLLY M'GREW,

Polly and Molly they went to school,
Polly and Molly they lived by rule
They each had pencil and each had pen,
And each knew how to begin again.
Polly and Molly they did their hair
In round little knots with the utmost care,
Wore bibs to their aprons, and nobody knew
Which was Polly which Molly McGrew.
Said Polly to Molly, one Monday morn:
I'VE both on the selfsame day were born;
And when l win in the spelling-bee,
The folks don't know if it's you or me-
To wear plat suppose you begin
While 1 tuck the bib of my apron in
For when win in the spelling-bee,
would like everybody to know it is me-
Said Molly to Polly, ard laughed right out,
And she clapped her hands and she gave
shout:
'If you tuck the bib of your apron in,
To wear plat I'll at once begin.
For when l am head in the grammar too,
The folks don't know if it's me or you
If l parse long sentence all right, you
see,
would like everybody to know it is me-"
So Polly and Molly they went to school,
In the blissful break of their old-tme rule;
A shining braid from twin head fell
A bibless front marked the other we'll
And all the world in amazement knew
Which was Polly which Molly McGrew.
Said Polly to Molly, one later morn:
we both on the selfsame day were born;
So you should not wear your hair in a braid
While mine in knot is arefully laid;
And if you've a bib to your apron new,
l should have a bib to my apron too
For when l miss in the spelhng-bee,
l would rather folks didn't know it was
me-"
Then Molly to Polly she dropped her
head
81 agree with you. Polly" she softly said;
While your hair in a knot is carefully
laid,
never should wear my hair in a braid
And if I've bib to my apron new
You should have a bib to your apron, too
For when l am foot in the grammar, see,
just hate the folks to be sure it is me-"
So Polly and Molly went back to school,
Determined always to live by rule
They each had a pencil and each had pen,
And each knew how to begin again.

Arranged with the utmost deliberate care
They wore bibs to their aprons, and nobody
