DOWN A COAL MINE,
Experiences OF a Washington Party at
MoundsviiIe.

-Four men who recently went to
Moundsville to see the safe arrival
tnere of more than a dozen prisoners
VINO are now working and living in
the penitentiary went sightseeing dur
ing the short time they had to wait
Tor a train. The first place visited
was the glass factory, where the work
OF blowing and putting on the finishing
touches proved interesting. Very lit.
tie time was spent in this large build,
ing however, as the quartet had never
visited a coal mine, and each member
was anxious to get a glimpse of what
was going on Underneath the ground
and it was only a few seconds after
reaching the shaft that the visitors
found themselves down in the coal
mine."
DO we have to get on that black ele-
Vator?" inquired one of the more timid
of the four when the shaft was reach.
ed.
Unless you fall down the shaft, !"
remarked a miner carrying a lighted
torch who had volunteered to guide
the visitors through the underground
tunnel.
Hurry up" said the miner, and be-
fore the visitors could realize what
had happened they were on their way
down the shaft. Reaching the bottom
OF the shaft, hardly 200 feet from the
surface, the men were hustled off the
elevator. Which way to turn they
had no idea, for everything was black.
Even the white miners were as black
as they could possibly have been.
Come this way" said the guide,
al look out for the mules"
What mules?" inquired an inquisi-
tive member of the party.
Just then a car came around a short
turn, n the faithful little animal that
was drawing it kept in the middle of
the road, paying no attention to the
strangers. A few minutes later the
members of the party were seated on
the bottom of the coal cars, being
drawn through the long tunnel, the
ceiling of which vas so low that the
tops Of the cars almost touched it.
The car was drawn in this fashion far
beyond the town burying ground, and
after passing beneath the city of the
dead the guide announced that it was
time to disembark. Once more the
visitors found themselves in an IN
known T,G :, End - -: 3&t-::, exper-
on the occasion Of the first IN
derground visit was a decidedly I'M
comfortable one. Thoughts of a "
in or explosion occupied the minds of
the quartet, and when the guide made
the announcement that it would be
necessary to walk all the way back to
the shaft one man in the party came
near fainting. If they could have
walked back it would have been an
easy matter, but this was not possible,
for it was absolutely necessary to
hurry along to keep out of the way of
the moving cars. In many places the
roadbed was wet, and unfortunately
for the Westinghouse there was no
way of avoiding these places, for they
could not be seen until they were
reached. After a long struggle, some
times walking and sometimes running.
the shaft was reached, and upon their
arrival IN the sunlight the visitors ex-
pressed themselves as pleased with
the experience, but more pleased at
getting out of the mine in safety

VIVIAN SHE DESERNED

Miss Florence X. Jewell, a wealthy
young woman who attained notoriety
in August, 1899, by marrying Loben~
gula's son while he was on exhibition,
has applied for a divorce on the ground
of her husbands cruelty and miscon-
duct. She testified that he had given
her black eyes and stabbed her with an
assagai, when the judge, Sir Francis
Jeune broke in with: THAT was what
you expected in marrying a savage was
it not?" The judge put off his decision,
as he doubted whether it would be
shown that Lobengulas domicile was
i'm England. He said, too, that he only
behaved like "a savage and that the
petitioner has insisted on marrying him
and now saw the result of it.

MIR. Far1ey's Idea.

From a number of sources we
learn that the plan suggested by
the GAZETTE in a recent issue, for
the betterment Of our county roads
is meeting with general favor. In
another column Mr.. F. P. Morgan
discusses the plan proposed and
outlines a practical method of leg
islative procedure. 1t seems to US
that the only practical way to get
good roads, and get them quickly,
economically and in a way that tie
burden of expense can be most
easily borne, is by the bonding
method outlined in our issue of the
18th inst.
Mr.. Farley has a plan which has
met with some favor, but it is SIM
ply a structure built of old methods
and it embodies their objectionable
features, as we'll as their good
points. Mr.. farley's plan is sub
stantially this: Let all the super
visors of the county draw up petit
tions and cause them to be circu-
lated in their respective districts
calling for volunteer work, valulng
a man and team at $3.50 per day
and single hand at $3.50 per day

The Nurses Note.

The latest information regard
ing Miss Bertha Thrasher's con-
dition was furnished by Mrs.
Virginia Bailey, San Francisco
nurse. In letter to Mrs. c. A.
Thrasher, she says:
Your daughter requested me
to write you a note this morning
and inform you that she was do
ing nicely. The limb was en-
cased in plaster paris yesterday.
DR.. Morton removed the nail
from the ends of the fractured
bone and found he had an excel
lent union.
Miss Thrasher became quite
nervous during the plaster casing
and a severe headache was the
result. But this morning she is
feeling quite herself again. Sh'
will sit up, out of bed, in a few
DAYS and we will soon send he
home to you.
She gets homesick sometimes
but with all she is a brave littl
girl and we will miss her yer
much when she leaves us. Sh
sends love.
Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Benton County, Or.) 1900-1909, 1902-04-18

practically be employing men on
the roads at wage of IS cents per
day, and men with teams at $50
per day. The work would be done
under the supervisors instructions,
but each man could work on the
road in which he was most inter-
ested.
Now, unfortunately. lit happens
that the season best adapted to
roadmaking comes just at time
when farmers can employ their
time to best advantage and greatest
profit Oh their farms. SeventY-fve
cents per day is no temptation to
them, and men who are seeking
employment can find more remun-
erative work. The recent work
done on the Corvallis Philomath
road was economically handled, yet
those employed with teams received
$2.40 per day for their labor. At
this sum, even, farmers could not
be induced to neglect their other
wo;k, and Corvallis teamsters haul
ed the gravel for this road.
1t is plain to be seen, then, that
the opportunity offered by Mr.. Far.
ley's plan will be seized upon by
those who live in the mountain
districts, and the main travelled
roads will be neglected. In other
words, where the work ofimprove-'
ment should really begin at the
main centers of population and
spread outward, it will begin at the
extremities and crawl backward.
While the county court has never
refused to encourage volunteer work
on the main roads by contributing
dollar for dallar, its policy has been
to give the roads which accommodate
only a few persons, a fraction of the
amount subscribed by the citizens
of such districts. This method is
wise and equitable; but Mr.. Farley's
plan would give the private roads
the same privilege enjoyed by our
main thoroughfares.
1t has been stated that the plan
advocated by Mr.. Farley was en-
ployed in the improvement Of the
state road south of Corvallis three
years ago. This is a mistake. The
business men of Corvallis contrib
uted $619.21 for the betterment of
the four miles of road Immediately
south of the Marys river bridge,
and the county court appropriated
a like amount. This money was
used to employ men and teams to
improve the road. The following
fall 800 was subscribed to be used
in graveling this road and the
court Appropriated like amount,
80 that under these favorable con-
ditions that short strip Of road has
cost over $500 per mile, and still
needs attention. The plaa suggest
ed by the GAZETTE and elaborated
upon by Mr.. Morgan, will give us
better roads in a much shorter time,
at far less expense, than by any
other plan so far devised.
