A Horrible Ca lamity.

The little mining town OF Frank, in
Southwestern Alberta, B. c., was prac-
tically wiped from the face of the
earth by a rock slide from Turtle
Mountain, Wednesday morning at an
carly hour, a little after I O'Clock.
The population OF the town was about
1000 inhabitants and SO sudden was
the outburst, that, it is said, not an
inhabitant reached the outside of his
domicile to see any part OF the action
which resulted in so much ruin. 1t
seemed as if the whole side of the
mountain had fallen off, a sheer wall
of limestone $500 feet high from the
southern side, overlooking a valley
through which Old Man river wends
its way. The debris falling into the
channel OF the river, damned up the
water until new danger from flood
menaced the inhabitants.
The mine OF the Canadian American
Coal and Coke Co, extends along the
line of the mountain in n parallel d.
rection. 1t has vertical veins and is
worked from q tunnel up. The slide
fell over this, and at first it was sup.
posed that none of the operators had
escaped, but it seems they had been in
quite as safe position as those ON the
surface. All the miners found their
way out but two. who were suflocated,
while all the buildings OF the COM
pany and their occupants were over
whelmed. The death loss is estimated
at Sc.
The Canadian Pacific is a heavy
loser, about two miles of track being
buried from so to 100 feet deep, and a
new line will have to be located and
built. The interior OF the mine is but
slightly damaged, which is fortunate
for the operatives, IS had it been de-
stroyed. it would have involved mil
lions of dollars to resume work, with
its attendant delay.
Opinion differs as to the cause OF the
slide. Some think that it was of VOL
canic origin, but as the apparent
smoke issuing from the mountain has
subsidized it is thought it may have
been dust. Others seem to think that
it is OF seismic origin, and only trent
bier that has set in motion larger
amount of elevated earth than usual.
Mr.. McInvoy, the geologist, says that
Indian legends relate, and the appear
of the country indicates similar slide
occurred many years, probably several
centuries ago. The aborigines claim
that q large Indian village was de.
stroyed, while the river was damned
as it is now, long before their great
grandfathers had peopled the Earth.
Mr.. Robertson, the government geol-
ogist, is of the opinion that mud.
slide must have occurred, which of
course may not involve either an
earthquake or volcanic agency, the
disintegration in that being occasioned
by water.

WHEN Mr.. Roosevelt has finished
his present tour he will have made
a complete swing" around the circle.
Last year he visited New England, the
Southern States and the Middle West.
Now he is literally at the jumping off
place, unless he embarks for our dis.
tant colonies, which he is not likely to
do, their political prestige at present
being nil. His speeches. it is claimed,
are non.partisan; but if it be true,
they will serve to draw very nice dis
tinction between the meaning Of the
terms political" and partisan"

FRIDAY EVENING. NiY /. 1903.
Bishop Spaldirg on Labor Problem.

The utterancas OF John Lancaster
Spaulding, Bishop OF Peoria after a
five months Attendance upon the
Anthracite Coal Commission, who has
returned to his field Of labor, more
than ever impressed with the intrica-
cies OF the problems presented by the
labor question, possesses much inter
est for the public. He was chosen
for that commission as A man OF
prominence, eminent as sociologist,"
and here is an epitome OF his conclu-
slons after the thorough investigation
lie helped to make.
He holds that logically, there is
ahead OF the evolution OF industrial
conditions, Il final coalition OF capital
and labor, from which the consuming
public will have to protect ITSELF;
that the term prosperity is one OF
the anomalies Of the competitive sys-
tenn, carrying with it the shadow OF
over production, and panic and par
alysis OF trade; that compulsory
investigation OF the affairs Of great
corporations and OF trade unions seem
to point to the solution OF the strike
measure and its cause" and that
elf something is not done to remedy
the frightful wastes OF the competitive
system, socialism will find its oppor-
tunity." He then expresses the opin.
ion that Socialism is an intangible
dream Of Utopia-an impossible con-
dition in which men would exist on
fiat levels OF sloven ease, devoid of
ambitions and ideals"
The Bishop coun.els the trades
unions for adoption of q more con-
servative policy with reference to men
and things. They need, he says, to
modify their attitude toward nom
union men; to temper their aversion
to new inventions; to curb their dis
position to limit output, and to dis
courage resort to the sympathetic
strike and the criminal boycott. He
does not regard American laborers as
either socialists or anarchists, and if
they repel such influences aad main
tain q spirit of conservativeness and
independence, as we'll as forbsarance
and fairness in the settlement OF all
differences, there is no reason why
Labor and Capital may not travel
hand by hand along the pathway of
mutual aid towards common destiny
with mutual dependence and benefit.
Bishop Spaulding is true Ameri.
can. For three hundred years his an
cestry has been in this country. Lord
Baltimore was one OF the founders OF
the Bishops family in America, and
he is kindsman of Chief Justice
fancy, and three of the Archbishops
of Baltimore, including Bishop Car
roll, the first American Catholic
Bishop. For 20 years he has been
Bishop of Peoria, and Protestauts as
we'll as Catholics have done him
honor. His duty as a citizen has
been as sacredly performed as duty to
his church, and his words therefore
command attention and reverence.

BUSINESS MEMS FEDERATION.-In
several parts of the country business
men have instituted organizations to
meet, or Offset, the demands of labor
unions when they become too exacting.
At Omaha, last week, an Employers
Federation OF 500 was organized to CO.
operate with the National Manufac-
turers' Association. The platform of
the association embraces these three
principles: Freedom to employ
union or non.union labor, without dis
elimination; no Limitation or restric.
ton to output; no sympathy strike"
They declare an intention to fight to q
finish.

THE new directory of Seattle form
a basis of 100000 population, which
is quite a jump from SO.67l, or an in
crease OF about 200 per cent. per an

Sam made his enumeration. 1t is
claimed that the Directory will have
10000 names, but then it is a book
which is capable of indefinite expan.
sion where the Seattle idea prevails.

A vERITABLE hobo invaded the Pres.

cret service man, hiding between the
baggage and club cars, as it was pulling
out from Livingston, last Friday night.
He showed fight when discovered, but
was finally placed under restraint and
elected at the next station, where he
was turned over to the police authori-
ties. A card found on him showed
that his name was Edward Russell, and
that be was member of Sailors I'm.

CAPE FLATTERY is to be united with
Nome by wireless telegraphy. The
work, says Albert L. New, representing
the Pacific Wireless Telegraph Co., in
a special to the Pr, will begin in
June, and as it will be finished when
the towers are erected and the insiru.
ments installed, there will probably
not be much delay in completing the
service. The longest of the proposed
intervals will be between Cape Flattery
and Dutch Harbor, / 500 miles, which
distance Mr.. New says is entirely feas-
ible. Sitka, juneau, Skagway and
Nome will all be connected wish the
invisible current. 1t would seem from
this that the terminal point a local
paper lately said had been "landed"
at Seattle, has floated to Cape Flat.

THE new Chinese Minister to this
country thinks that the prejudice in
this country against his countrymen
is largely owing to the fact that they
do not readily acquire our language.
Possibly "pigeou-english" may have
something to do with it, but we think
that their innate servility in labor
habits based upon centuries of extreme
poverty from over-population is the
great cause which the masses have to
see removed before they can view with
complacency the invasion OF the labor
field by the Asiatics.

Is IT NOT CONFESSION OF WEAK
NEss?-Among the silly things that
lovely woman stoops at times to do,
probably none exceeds the fad new re.
ported to be on in New York, OF an
Anti-Mashers' League, who wear dis
tinctive button to notify presumptuous
youth that they do not want their Off =
cious and ut times impairment atten.
tions. This reminds one of the way
some shippers have of marking freight
packages with tho admonition to
Handle Carefully--Glass," or "This
Side Up, with Care" which almost al.
ways impels the baggage-smasher to
give the injunction q kick by disobey-
ing it. A virtue which has to be la
bled " Hands Off" does not seem to be
of that import that may be likened to
the purit.? of the icicles that hang
from the caves of Diana's temple, and
one natural result would be that mash
ers would adopt the emblem as an in
dication that they were champions Of
those who erect the walls OF protec-
ton. Even the betters of such men
have been known TO be reliable pro-
tectors Of innocence only against all
Others but themselves; and this self
imposed duty of defense might afford
that very opportunity which a cele-
brated lady once declared to be the
turning. point in most lives.

The Agricultural Department at
Washington is engaged in an endeav-
or to propagate the white orange,
specimens OF which had been brought
from the Mediterranean few months
ago. with cuttings, which were sent to
California, as having the best climate
and soil to ensure success of the ven.
ture. 1t is not claimed that the color
will be OF any benefit to the quality OF
the fruit, but that it will be simply an
oddity and in active demand until its
use becomes general. 1t may prove,
after all, like the China orange, which
is only peculiar for its great size, and
possesses very poor edible qualities.

AN ILL-EFFECT OF CIVIL SERVICE
1t has been shown that while civil
service has resulted in some good in
the line OF practice makes perfect"
it has likewise demonstrated that
there is no sweet without its bitter, no
rose without the thorn. no good with.
out an attendant evil following closely
by. The late development OF gratis in
the postal service shows how easy it is
for those who develop into splendid
clerical machines to give out iniorma-
ton Of benefit at times, or influence
that is as positive Ms it has been secret
at others, which side issue is not with
out profit to the public functionary or
his friends. No thought OF it being
irregular or improper, of course, for
the individual becomes so gradually
imbued with the idea that he is an
inseparable part OF the government,
that he can do no wrong, and that he
has established an impregnable title to
a lease of official tenure during his
useful years and liberal pension when
other time and labor. animals are
turned out to graze upon the common.
1t is matter of congratulation that
the complainant habits of these happy.
go.lucky individuals has been disturbed
by the publicity" which Mr.. Roose-
welt has-no matter with what object
in view-so persistently invited. Those
who have come to regard official ten
uro as q personal perquisite instead OF
q public trust, should be awakened by
vigorous kick.
