Never in the history of this range
has the winter season of mining looked
so promising. Heretofore at this time
of the year men have been laid off
now laborerS. especially practical min
erS. are in great demand. The coal
strike has drove many of the better
class of miners here. all of whom are
working and express themselves as as
toniShed at the large wages received
and the better condition of things in
general as compared with Pennsyl-
vania. Lumbermen also complain of
lack of men. although higher wages
are offered than ever before.

this town have taken down their signs
and quit the business. Even the par
sons have given up the hope of brac-
ing up their salaries with occasional
ceremonial fees. The trouble has been
caused by the formation of two clubs.

would favor the attention of no man
who did not conduct himself according
to rules prescribed by the club. Since
the court house fight is over the men
have been looking about for somebody
with whom to pick fuss. and they
have concluded to war upon the
Bachelor Maidens' club.
They have formed an organization to
be known as the Sons Of Rest, and
have adopted set of caSt-iron regu-
lations regarding the qualifications of
a woman permitted to be favored by
any members of the Sons of Rest In
the matter of restrictions in dress and

OUR CASE Is PREJUDICED
Because of Action at the Isthmus Under
Railway Treaty.

One obstacle which it is believed
will interfere somewhat with the i'm
mediate resumption of negotiation of
the treaty is the feeling aroused in Co
lombia by the actions of United States
naval officers during the revolutionary
movements there. These are declared
to have been bitterly resented in Bo-
gotta, where it was felt that the United
States officers had exceeded their au-
thority in Interfering with the trans
portation of Colombian soldiers across
the isthmus railrOad-a right the Co
lombian officials have asserted is guar
anteed them by treaty.
The controversy growing out of the
attitude of these officers was taken up
by the Colombian state department
with United States Minister Hart, at
Bogota, and so far as known has not
vet been definitely settled. The ques-
ton at issue touches the question of
sovereignty and has an important bear
ing on the pending subject. The Co
lombian legation officials decline to dis
cuss the latest response made by CO.
lOmbia, but the opinion prevails that
included within it's scope are some rep
reservations respecting or growing out
of recent events on the isthmus.

RIGHT OF CONTROL
OF TICKER NEWS
Federal Court Hands Down Impor-
tant Decision as to Western
Union Company.

Chicago, Oct. 2s.-An important
principle of law was established to-
day when the judges of the federal
court of appeals handed down an
opinion to the effect that the Western
Union Telegraph company has the
right of. property in the news which
1T gathers and that such right does
not cease when the news is published
on tickers rented to its patrons. In
laying down this new principle the
court atfiirms two decisions of the
lower court and forever enjoins the
National Telegraph News company,
the Illinois Commission company and
other defendants from using the quo
tations in question.
The court of appeals also affirmed
the decision of the district court that
the Chicago Board of Trade can con-
troll its quotations and that no one
has Il right TO use them without COM
plying with the regulations of the
board regarding their distribution.

what the outcome of the attack
would be. He could not tell whether
the governor would have malarial
fever or typhoid or either. 1t would
be two or three days at best before
he could accurately diagnose the
case.
The physician also said the patient

he did not think the ailment would be

COLOMBIA IS CAREFUL.
In Dealing with Uncle Sam About
That Coveted Strip of
Territory
IN WHICH THE CANAL WILL BE DUG
Wants Cash Payments Fixed Now
Not Pleased with Her First
Experience.

Washington, Oct 2S.-The long eS-
pected response of the Colombian gov
ernment to the proposition made by
the state department for the negotia-
ton of Il canal treaty on the lines of
the Spooner act has reached Washing
ton and has been presented to the state
department hy Herran, secretary of
the Colombian legation. 1t is difficult
to learn the exact nature of this COM
munication, but it is known that it is
not altogether an unqualified accept
ance of the state departments propo-
sitions. 1t is, however. friendly and
dignitied in tone. and does not close
the negotiations by any means. though
it unquestionably sets back the date
of final agreement by opening up new
topics for argument.
Wants Some Profit from the Deal.
For one thing the Colombian govern
ment is entirely dissatisfied with the
amount of the payment to be made to
ii by the United States under the
terms of the protocol which it is pre-
posed to use as the basis for the treaty.
This sum is S7,000.O0O. Colombia
wants ut least $10.00O.0OO. Moreover
the original proposal looked to a wait
for fourteen years before beginning the
payment of annual rental, the amount
of which was to be then fixed by
mutual agreement Colombia now asks
the United States to agree at once on Il
lump yearly payment of 100000,
which Will considerably increase the
immediate cost of the enterprise.
Cannot Alternate Territory.
The Colombian government clings to
its contention that it has no constitu-
tional authority TO ALLEVIATE any Co.
lombian territory, and reiterates that
the best it can do TO meet the langua ge
of the SpoOner act-which looks to
perpetual control ny the United States
over the canal strip-is to make Il 100
year lease. with a distinct stipulation,
that the same shall be renewable by
the United States at the expiration of
the first century.
