The Coal Strike Ended.

The convention Of the anthracite mine
workers at Wikesbarre, Pa, last week
Tuesday declared the strike off by unani-
nous vote. President Mitchell was ap-
pointed to represent the miners before
the arbitration commission, with such
assistants as he might select. A tele-
gram was sent to President Roosevelt
announcing the result OF the convention,
and a statement was issued to the strik-
ers telling them the decision reached
The miners returned to work Thurs
day. The price of coal has dropped
already in the large cities, but a normal
condition cannot be reached before an
other season. Reading coal and iron
officials do not expect to get more than
100000 tons OF coal from their mines
this week. The normal output is about
24O, 900 tons a week. The members of
the strike arbitration commission, APP
pointed by Pres. Roosevelt, met at the
White House Friday and went into cOu-
ference with the President. The inter
view was brief, lasting scarcely 20 min
utes. The President impressed upon the
commission the Importance of expedi-
ton, and informed them that he had
decided to appoint two assistants to the
recorder to facilitate the work. He then
presented to them their Instructions:
"At the request both of the operators
and of the miners, have appointed you
a commission to inquire into, consider
and pass upon the questions in contro-
versy in connection with the strike in the
anthracite region, and the causes out of
which the controversy arose.
By the action you recommend, which
the parties in interest have in advance
consented to abide by, you will ende avor
to establish the relations between the
employers and the wage earners in the
anthracite fields on a just and perma-
nent basis and, as far as possible, to do
away with any causes for the recurrence
of such difficulties as those which you
have been called in to settle.
l submit to you, herewith the pub
lished statement OF the operators follow
ing which | named you as the mem
bers of the commission, Mr.. Wright being
named as recorder; also the letter from
Mr.. Mitchell. appoint Mr.. Mosely and
Mr.. Neill as assistants to the recorder,
Theodore Roosevelt"
With the instructions were the state
n1ents Of the operators. The members OF
the commission withdrew in body.
When they left the White House they
declined to comment upon their inter
view. They went direct to the office of
Commissioner Wright to organize and
prepare for their work, and Judge Gray
was chosen chairman.

The PLUMBER
OF TAXPAYERS.
How SUPERVISORS USE PUBLIC
FUNDS TO Reward THE
PaRTY HEELERS.

The annexed bids we're presented to
the board of supervisors pursuant to
proposals inviting bids, sent to the
newspapers of this county, and we're
examined by them and the bid of Kean
st. Charles was accepted by them, al
though two of the members of said
board publicly stated that the other
bids were the lowest. On the face the
fact is apparent that the supervisors
care not one iota about the rights of
bidders or the taxpayers of the county.
They propose to repay their heelers
for the work done in the last election
and in doing so are willing to use the
treasury of the county to any extent.
That this is true no one with the ability
to think or reason for them selves will
deny. Mike Scanlon, the Boss, is boil
ing over with bile and venom because
of the fact that he had to repay the
amount of his overdraft on the treas
ury and is willing to 60 to any extent
to get even on the people whom he be.
lieves to be the author of the suits
against him. In the decision of the
letting of the contracts he made use of
the remark that ne would not vote to
give contract in which the county
was party to the people who "raised
money to prosecute you and me-,
meaning the other supervisors. This
shows the caliber of the man. The
other day at Chloride, in the suit of
Anson III. Smith against Mohave coun-
ty, it developed that this man Scaulon
and John P. Feeny we're the moving
spirits in disallowing fees in a bill
presented by Smith to the board of
supervisors, and that Boss Mike dis
played all his animosity and spleen in
his endeavor to convince the justic
that the bill should not be paid and it
also developed that this man Scanlon
had gone to the justice prior to the
hearing of the case and talked the mat
ter over with the justice, but that gen.
tleman refused to be party to any
dishonorable action. Let the people
think over these facts; let them sum
up the qualities that make of these
men fostering sore on the body
polite.

The Canadian government has at
last repealed the law taxing the gold
production of the Klondike to the ex
tent of five per cent and instead have
laid an export tax of two and one half
per cent. This latter tax will not rest
so heavily on the producers of placer
gold as the direct tax of five per cent,
but at the same time it will probably
net the government a better return, as
it will be paid at the customs houses
where it will have TO be accounted for
and not held out by venal collectors

Notable Engineering Project.

One of the largest reservoir sites in
the west is under the examination of
the United States geological survey.
The dam site is situated in a narrow
gorge just below the junction of Salt
river and Tonto creek, Arizona. The
capacity of the proposed reservoir
with dam feet in elevation above
the bed of the river, is nearly 100000
feet or more than that of the great res.
ervoir now in construction on the Nile
or than any other artificial reservoir
in the world.
One of the serious obstacles met in
planning for the construction of this
great reservoir was the difficulty in Sc
curing hydraulic cement at a cost low
enough to make the project financially
practical About $50 barrels of ce.
ment will be needed, which, owing to
the isolated location of the site and
the long overland haul, would reach
the almost prohibitive rate of 80 per
barrel. Fortunately materials we're
found at hand suitable for manufac.
turing high grade cement, which will
save nearly a million dollars in the
cost of construction. Water power
will be developed on the spot, If the
dam is authorized to do the heavy work
of building.
The proposed project will bring IN.
der irrigation nearly 100000 acres of
desert lands, besides furnishing a re-
liable supply of water to large area
now irrigated by the precarious flow
of the streams in their natural state
