ton westward the soil Of the great
American desert has undergone
changes which even the most san
guine of the early pioneers OF the
southwest never dared to dream Oh,
and agencies are now at work III thls
once deserted region which are cal
culated to carry the work OF improve
ment still further. But how has this
transformation come about? In the
first place. the necessity for opening
nm new territory to relieve the con-
gestion in the crowded centers oil the
population has thrust thousands OF en-
terprising spirits into this new coun-
try and the settlers who have thus
gone out to subdue the wilderness
nave proven themselves to be men Oh
ideas as well as men of courageous
instincts. They have found that arte-
sian wells could be dug in many iocal-
tiles and by digging artesian wells ana
damming up rivers they nave man
aged to supply themselves with all Oh
the water needed for purposes Oh IL
rigation and the result is that produc-
tive farms and orchards have taken
the place of the tracts once given over
to the gra ng OF cattle.
Railway enterprise has been anoth-
er important factor in the building up
of this region. During the past lew
years several lines have been project
ed into the territory OF the great
American desert and the country In
this way has been opened up to CIVIL
ization. Besides the Colorado South
ern. which crosses the region diago-
nally, there is also the Santa Fe road
which borders it on the west. ana an
other line which borders it on the
east. In Oklahoma alone during the
past year not less than 500 miles Oh
railway have been constructed.
This inventory of the changes whlch
have taken place in the southwest eX-
emplifies the possibilities OF develop
ment contained in the soil OF the
North American continent for II sucn
wonderful transformations can be
wrought in what was formerly known
as the great American desert, there
can be no limit put upon the posslDll-
tiles of development in sections more
richly endowed with material re-
sources.

form and no more converting argu-
ments to win the people TO its stand
ard than the comparative table of
democratic economy and republican
rapacity presented by Congressman
Livingston. If that plain proof OF how
the people are robbed to make gov
ernment loot for party favorites and
build billion-dollar fortunes for the
trust-makers and protected industries,
will not arouse the voters TO indigna-

This is regarded as simplifying the

informed the state department of its dis
position to forward the transfer. so that
small legal technicalities may be swept

the Confederacy held but one business
session here, which was devoted prin-
oipauy to reports of committees and
the discussion of them.
Among those who were invited TO
seats on the platform when the con

ON MINERS
He Sends in Another Statement to
the Strike Commission.
A RISKY OCCUPATION
The Mems Representative Asserts In.
surance Rates Are Practically
Pr0hibitive, Few Companies
Soliciting Business.

Scranton. Pa, Nov 14.-President
Mitchell sent another statement to the
strike commission in defense OF the
miners position
He said the miners occupation was
extremely hazardous-in fact, more SO
than that OF any important industry
and the number of persons killed and
wounded greater. II miner escapes
injury by falling of rock or coal he
cannot escape miners asthma Nearly
every mine worker has 1t at some time
or other. Miners are compelled to
work In powder rooms and inhale
powder smoke In foul air. many in
water and their work is difficult and
dangerous. Reputable life insurance
companies will not issue policies to
this class Of men Risks are so great
that premiums are prohibitiye. The
entire 20 per cent increase they ask
would not suffice to carry $1,000 insur,
ance.
In support Of demand for reduction
OF hours Of day laborers Mitchell said
It amounted to an increase of 20 per
cent for $4,000 men. 70 per cent of all
mine workers, He said eight hours
was the standard working day In btu
minous coal mines nearly everywhere.
Each miner produced more coal per
working day at eight hours than he
formerly produced Ia ten hours. There
Is no reason why the same result
would not be in the anthracite field.
He says the miner should be paid for
every pound Of coal he mines that is
sold by the operators.
The first day Of the convention, aside
from the address Of President Com
pers. was not Of great interest 70 ont
sIders, and many delegates found It
fafiguiuE The morning session was
occupied with addresses Of welcome
and responses and the report Of the
committee on credentials The after
noon was consumed by the address Of
President Gonpers, which occupied
him for two hours and twenty minutes
OF rapid reading The reports Of other
officers required two additional hours.

The members of the party except the

gave tongue the president and his
guides plunged through the dense UNI
derbrush in pursuit. Within a few
minutes the dogs showed the direction
the quarry was taking, and Collier
with the instinct of an old bear hunter,
Immediately made up his mind where
the animal would come out. To save
the president needless hard riding
through the brush. he directed Mr..
Foots to take the president along the
trail to a certain cut off This was
done, and the president and Mr.. Foote
rode to the assigned station. On their
way several swamp deer were jumped
but no effort was made to get a shot
at them. Then for several hours the

trail of the bear carried the yelping
hounds out of hearing, and shortly
afternoon Mr.. Foote abandoned hope
that the quarry would come back their
way. and he and the president returned
TO camp for lunch. Had they remained
