OREGON MINE WHICH
WAS FULL OF WILDCATS

1t Took Dynamite TO DIsIodee the Fero-
cous FeIines.
Several mining men who had CHANGED to
meet in a hotel lobby iStthis city were dis
GUESSING the various mines in a certain
district, when one of them spoke Of a
wildcat" mine.
A logger who was standing near pricked
up his ears at this and Clipped into the
converse ion He said that there was the
most productive wildcat mine he ever
heard of near the logging camp where he
had been working on the lower Columbia.
One OF the mining men remarked that his
idea of wildcat mine was one that
yielded nothing but assessments and
asked what this wildcat mine produced
Why, wildcats, of course" replied the
logger. He then proceeded to explain that
many years ago someone had run tun-
mel into the side Of hill in search of
coal and had run number of short
branches and had gophered about general
coal, had finally abandoned the workings.
There were wildcats in that section and
the parties who had been prospecting for
coal left several cats at their cabin. The
wildcats and the tame cats had affiliated
and had taken up their abode in the tun-
mel and had increased in numbers.
Finally celebrated bear hunter of that
region discovered the half closed entrance
to the tunnel and, thinking that perhaps
some wild animals might be occupying
the place, sent his dogs in to investigate.
In a few minutes the dogs came rushing
out, literally covered with wildcats howl
ing like lost spirits. While the fight was
going on the old hunter took hand to
help his dogs and killed twenty-seven
wildcats
Dynamite was put in the tunnel at night
when the cats were out seeking food and
next day the fuse was lighted. AS it
burned some cats came out and were
shot down. The shooting and the dead
cats terrified those in the rear and they
held back till the tunnel was fairly chok-
ed with surging, squalling, splitting army
of cats atd then the giant powder explod
ed and several tons of cats were shot out
of the hole.--Portland Oregonian.

operation of the crimes act will natu-
rally pass among the uniformed as
possessing of itself no particular sig
nificanee, yet 1t is really the most sig
nificant fact thus far made public in
the political life Of Ireland since the
collapse of the home rule movement,
and the death of the late Charles Stu
art Parnell. It means that the exist
ing government is determined to carry
on it's present warfare to the end upon
tional rights of British subjects living
in Ireland. When it has been found
necessary to proclaim the metropolis
of nation, the conclusion is inevitable
that the relative attitude of the entire
nation and of the government in con-

is the situation in Ireland today. BY

Perhaps the most touching thing
about the response of the coal barons
to the call of the public for a settle
ment of the strike is the assertion that
they can make no concessions to the
men because 1t would increase the
price of coal. This must not be taken
too literarally, however, as implying
that the prices will be down to the
lowest notch when anthracite is again
on the market.
