SECOND ANNUAL MEETING

The second annual meeting of the
Freeland Extension Mining s. Mil

day afternoon and it was attended
by L. NJ. Hatch, M. C. Belts, of Mt.

as outside members. The following

Sca)lin.
In the past year there has not been
very much work done at the mine,
which is located at Idaho Springs,
Colo, other than the development of
the same on a small scale. The ore
coming out, however, shows that un-
der the proper conditions that it is
a very good paying investment. The
plans for the future were discussed
to some extent among the directors,
and it was decided to keep up the
development on the same scale until
such time as the large tunnels that
are being driven through the noun
tains reach the iceland mine. With
these tunnels complete the matter of
development will be carried n to a
much larger extent. The problem of
transportation is the hardest matter
to overcome, In that it is very ex-
pensive to transport material over
the mountains. The tunnels will
obviate this expense at least $50 per
cent. The directors have every con-
fidence in the mines paying quail
ties under the proper conditions and
will keep at work until the tunnels
are completed.

SECOND PEACE CONGRESS.
President viii Deliver Invitation to
Signers of Hague Conference.

Washington, D. c., Oct Is. - The
president is preparing to redeem his
promise to the delegates TO the inter
parliamentary peace conference TO Sc
cure another meeting of the plenipo-
tentiaries of the powers signatory to
the Hague convention with a view of
revising and adding to that instru-
ment.
Complex machinery of this kind is
difficult to set in motion and if the
ordinary course is followed in these
negotiations, it will be at least
year and probably longer before the
meeting can be held.
The state department will address
separate notes to every government
represented at the last conference, in
viting suggestions as to the time and
place of meeting. and without doubt.

DIVIDEND OF CITIZENS
SECOND DECLARED BY RECEIVER
WILLIAMS.
TWENTY FIVE PER CENT
Means That $4,000 Will Be Distrib.
uted on Nov. 2o-Makes Total
of rs Per Cent.

Receiver Williams of the Citizens
National Bank yesterday afternoon
authorized the announcement of rlivi.
dend No. for % per cent, payable
on Nov. 90.
This will be cheering news to the
depositOrs who had their saving in
the defunct bank. and it shows that
Mr.. Williams has been getting every.
thing possible out of the assets of
the concern. The total amount that
will be paid out on this dividend will
be approximately $4,000, upon a total
of 100000. | makes 10 per cent in
all that has been declared, and looks
now as if the depOsitors will eventu-
ally get every dollar that they had de-
posted. The distribution of this
amount of money in Beaumont means
that it will get into circulation among
class of people who need it at a time
when it will do the most goou. 1t is
sort of prOVider for Christmas gift to
come a month later. and Mr.. Williams
will no doubt be remembered kindly by
the small boy when he hangs uD his
stockings for Santa Claus to do his
best. There were many children who
had deposits in the Citizens, and to
them it will be a means Of lessening
their hard opinion of the world and
its business people. At the time of
the failure there were many pitiful
tales of poor people having deposited
savings in the bank and having lost
every cent they had. The
declaring of these dividends, there
fore, will help where help is appreci-
lted. Many of the certificates had
been sold cut, but some Of them are
still in the possession of comparative
DOOR neOple.

GREAT NORTHERN PAssEN0B1
MEETS LANDSLIDE WEST or
FORT wBI0HT-NAKROw Es-
CAPE - TWENTY PASSENGERS
WALK TO SPOKANE.

With a tremendous roar of collision
and escaping steam the Great North
ern passenger train, No. 4, due to
arrive here at $40 this morning,
struck a landslide at Highlands, nine
miles west of Spokane.
The train was heavily loaded with
passengers and there were thrown
from their seats as though shot from
a catapault. 1t is the greatest mys-
terry why none were killed or badly
wounded. AS it is, the only one Sc
riously injured is one of the colored
powers, who had his skull badly bat
tered and his eve seriously cut.
About o'clock this morning the
train was speeding along at about 35
miles an hour At the spot where the
accident occurred there is wide
curve, which is considered by railway
men none too safe, and in the observ..
ance of orders the engineer slowed
down to make the curve. II was a
lucky thing that he did so, as the next
instant the slide occurred. The engi-
neer, with great presence of mind,
put on the emergency brakes. The
engine was struck by the full force
of the slide and knocked about 20
feet from the track. where 1t quivered
and shook, rolling about from side to
side, and then remained stationary
and in an upright position.
Fireman Jumped.

was being "deadheaded" and when the
slide struck the engine it telescoped
and then split squarely in two. This
Is the only thing that saved the mail

remained partly on the engine. while
there was only about a quarter of Il
left whole The other portion was
completely wrecked The only reason
the engineer was not killed was that
the tender stopped within six inches
OF the place where he stood.
Several of the passengers were
thrown from their seats half way the
length OF the coaches.
Where the accident occurred there
was about 80 feet of clear space be-
tween the train and the embankment
and the train had only passed safely
over a place where the embankmsnt
was about three feet from the track
Had the slide occurred a second
sooner, It would have thrown the
train down the emba nkment to de-
struction and it's human freight to a
certain and terrible death.
The slide was about 40 feet long.
Word was Immediately sent to the
head offices In Spokane and the wreck
ing train at Hillyard at once started
to the scene. This Afternoon word
was received that the train could not
be run into the city before about s
o'clock.

Fight ON
TONIGHT

Followers of Patrick s. Byrne may
make an attempt to capture the DEM
ocratic club meeting tonight. The
democrats will meet in the municipal
courtroom at s o'clock. Allen F. Gill
was selected last night at a meeting
of the Bryne men as the floor leader
and what he says will be endorsed
by the followers OF Mr.. Byrne. Mr.
Gill stated this afternoon that he had
selected no one to carry out any of
his suggestions, but the meeting was
to stand as whole for anyone nomi-
mated by him.
George Turner has been requested
to speak at the meeting of the demo-
Gratis. but 1t is doubtful whether he
will be in attendance. 1t is the de-
sire of the Byrne forces to capture
the presidency of the meeting and
the man who obtains the nomination
from Mr.. GIL will receive the solid
vote of the Byrne forces.

marry him when the girl, with her
parents, lived N Alaska, where Cham
poux was employed. Miss Brace there
promised him that she would marry
him after they came to Seattle. That
promise was made, Miss Braces rela-
tives claimed, to get rid of Cham
poux.
Finally the Brace family moved to
Seattle. Lottie Brace got employment
as performer in concert hall.
ChampouX followed her to this city.
One night last June Champoux went
to the concert, hall where the girl
worked. He had a conversation with
Miss Brace and her sister. Some
thing was said that was not heard by
the sister
Suddenly she heard her sister
scream and as she turned to see what
the trouble was, Lottie Brace fell to
the floor. A huge knife had been
driven to the hilt in her left temple.
The girl was carried to Providence
hospital, where she died "a hours
afterward. She never regained con-
seriousness.

MARCH BROKE RECORD

March did it. More rain fell during
the month past, says the man who
knows about the weather, than during
any other March in the history of the
city. The precipitation was 2.8l inches.
Everyone knew Spokane was having a
dose of Oregon weather, and this is
the result. The record is broken. The
greatest amount of rainfall during any
other March in the last % Years was
265 inches 10 years ago.
There were but four days during the
month when the weather reporter did
not say either cloudy or partly
cloudy" During the 81 days there
were but five when there was not rain
or snow. The first half Of the month
there was not day without one or
the other.
The temperature was about an aver
age for Spokane March weather.
During the month 10 inches of snow
fell.
