Portland Or, May 23.-Building
trades are enforcing their orders to
stay out and every allied workman
has quite in Portland.
From a fair estimate of the
strength and numbers of the union
men, made by a member of the fed
Grated trades council today, there are
s, 900 men in Portland who in another
AS hours will be included in the con-
test against the planning mills. There
is no sign of concession on the part
of the mills. The mill owners say no
favorable action is to be anticipated
from them. They are ready to shut
up their mills for the remainder of
the year. There appears to be little
doubt that the federated trades will
strike. The lockout threatens to
spread to the state, and the strength
of the state federation of labor will
be thrown into the breach.
A temporary injunction was issued
! by Judge Sears in the circuit court
against the various labor unions and
organizations involved in the strike.
The plaintiffs were the six planning
mills, among whose employees the
strike began. The order was served
upon Charles f. Hoyt, secretary of
the Woodworkers' union. The order
enjoins the strikers from interfering
in any way with the business of the
plaintiffs, by placarding, posting of
nickets. etc. The temporary injunc-
ton came as a surprise to the strik-
ers and the public. Argument on the
injunction will be made before Judge
Sears on Monday morning next.

from the careless use by an Italian

the cause of the explosion is that a
miner struck a match, exploding the

ent IN No. 2 shaft
The true cause of the disaster will
probably never be ascertained, for it
is doubtful if any man who knows
will ever reach the outer air alive or
be able to tell the tale. The explosion
took place in No. 2 shaft of the mine,
being repeated in a few seconds in
No. 8, with which it is connected.
The two shafts in which the explo-
sion occurred are situated on Eel
creek, about miles from Fernie.
No. 2 has always been considered
the more dangerous of the two, being
dry, dusty and gaseous.

R. R. EXTENSION
FROM SOMERS
Crossing the River at Holt the Great
Northern
WILL BUILD TO JocKo JUNCTION
Additional Surveyors Are in the
Field and Cross-Sectioning the
Right-of-Way---North and South
Road to be built this Summer.

The party of Great Northern sur
veyors in charge of A. G.. Lombard
which did a great deal of work in
northern Flathead county, and left
some time ago for Shelby Junction,
returned to Kalispell this week. AS
soon as supplies are received they
will join the party of surveyors at
work on the Jocko road.
The latter party are encamped near
Poison and are working both ways,
north and south. They are hasten
ing the operations as much as possi-
BILE and with the advent of the Lom-
bard party work will progress with
much more rapidity. Cross-section-
ing is being done as the work pro-
crosses and from this it is thought
that it is the intention to begin grad
ing as soon as the survey is COM
pleted and suitable route secured.
The men in charge of the work
maintain a close mouth and will not
or cannot give nut any information
that would throw any light on the
intentions of the company as regards
construction.
But by the rumor route there is
is every reason to believe that the
road connecting Kalispell with the
Northern Pacific will be built this
summer, also that the route will be
an extension of the branch which
now reaches the big milling and tie
D1ontc of SODoprC
Ono authority, railroad man too,
is that the river will be bridged at
or near Holt, the location being
favorable for putting in a high bridge
under which loftier steamers than
the Klondyke, Capt. Hodge, may
pass. The route across the reser-
vation would be along plateau
where is a natural road bed, requir-
ing scarcely any grading; the ties
could practically be laid along the
surface and furnish fair track sur
face. Only for the necessity of con-
structing a navigation bridge tne
north and south road, from Somers
20 Jocko could lave trains running
over it with ease and safety in 60
days.
AS has been many times previous
Iy remarked, the construction OF
this road to the Northern Pacific
would open market in Butte and
Anaconda for the products of Flat
head county which are now barred
from export on account OF high tar
ifs on the railroad and delays con
seuuent upon the long route via
Havre. Not only will the mining
camps consume the excellent fruits

Riqht of Women to Vote.

The Silver Bow Trades and Labor
assembly recently passed the follow
ing resolutions, lndorsing the scheme
of woman suffrage, Carrie Chapman
Gait having talked to them with
good effect:
Whereas, There has been move
ment inaugurated In this state which
has for it's object the giving OF equal
political rights to women; and
Whereas, 1t is the duty of the
working people to lend their aid to
all movements looking to the eleva-
ton of mankind now, therefore, be
it
Resolved, That from the standpoint
or right and justice we consider the
women entitled to equal political
rights with men; that under our
present economic conditions an ever
increasing number of women is
forced into industrial competition,
and these wage earning women espe-
cially ought to have an opportunity
to take part in the making and exc
curion of laws; and be it further
Resolved, That we, therefore
heartily indorse the efforts of those
noble minded women to secure fol
the members of their sex the right

Vancouver, B. c., May 23.-One of
the most terrible disasters in the his

in British Columbia occurred last
night in the Crows Nest company's
mine at Fernie, B. G. More than 100
are either dead or imprisoned in the
mine and little hope is entertained
of rescuing any who may be alive

men who are known to have been in
the mine, and there were probably
others. Of these only "a are known
to be safe. 1t is feared very few, if
any, of the remaining 100 are now
alive. What caused the explosion has
