Ladder. a Mile Long

Theodore Waters, describing in Ev-
erybody's Magazine the deepest copper
mine in the world, writes:
Under the law 1t is necessary to
maintain ladders in all mines, however
deep. so that in case Of accident to the
hoisting machinery the miners may be
able to climb up.
'These ladders, In a mine mile
deep, We're distinctly awesome. The
shaft was covered, but the trapdoor
was removed SO that could peer down
the hole. The first few rungs quickly
succeeded one another into darkness,
but moving light far below showed
that they continued on down below
the limit of vision. The light came
from lamp in the hat of workman
probably making repairs, but whether
it was 100 or 1000 feet down was i'm
possible to determine. 1t was not ex-
actly a reassuring sight. The idea that
the man was climbing a ladder a mile
high, and the possibility of his encoun-
tering loose rungs in the darkness. In
vited my perturbed comment.
"'Oh, that Is nothing remarked a
workman. 1T is not one ladder, but a
succession of ladders, and there are
plenty oflevels to rest upon. Why,
the roller boys In the incline shifts
often slide down the cables to save
time.'r

after this that Mrs. Anderson was

The second marriage was a happy
one until short time ago when a let

in Alaska and who, according to his
own report, has been successful in To-
eating valuable mining claims.
Anderson's failure to provide in any

granting of a divorce, and it is not ex-
pected that he will make any effort to

furnishing peace officers with pictures
land descriptions of all discharged pris-

institution was made a few weeks ago
upon the belief that it would encourage
ex-convicts to try to lead honest lives.
The custom of sending out descrip-
tons of discharged prisoners was
adopted in response to requests from
chiefs of police in the cities. The
peace officers wanted the descriptions
so that when a convict had been dis
charged they could be on the outlook
for him and could more easily locate
him if he committed any offense. Sew

PROBABLY A PGSSUM GAME
Rumor That Old Time Lobbyist Is Nc
Longer In Railroad Employ.

That George Stevenson, for a dozen
years the head of the railroad lobby is
out Of the railroad employ, is the state
ment made by the Olympia correspond
|ent of the Portland Oregonian, who
says also that Stevenson is exceeding
ly bitter toward the railroads, and
threatens to make open war upon the
railroad lobby. 1t has been known for
months that ]. D. Farrell, who is in
charge of the Hill interests, has been
anxious to unload Stevenson, and the
Oregonian claims that the unloading
occurred two weeks ago.
Stevenson, it is claimed. is threaten
ing to run amuck, and make all kinds
of trouble for the railroads. 3. S.
Grosscup, division counsel for the
Northern Pacific, becoming alarmed
over SteVenson's attitude, it is claimed
has induced Stevenson to go east with
him, and meet President Elliott of the
Northern Pacific, who is reported to be
headed west. Grosscup, it is said, is
anxious to pacify Stevenson at any
cost.
That there is a terrific row on in the
railroad camp, and that leaders of the
lobby are working at cross purposes,
is evident; and all over the state the
friends of Governor Mcbride orc i,,hi
liant. They believe that the war be-
tween the railroad leaders is certain to
end in victory in the state convention

eral incidents which came to the at
tention of the governor convinced him
that more harm than good resulted
from the sending out of the descript-
ions, and he directed that the practice
be stopped.
Police officers assume that a convict
is more likely to be guilty Of a crime
than any other person, and when a
prisoner has been discharged a few
days before a crime has been commit
ted they suspect the former wearer of
stripes if he happened to be in the vi
entity. In one or two instances Cover
nor Chamberlain found that ex-con-
victs had been arrested and locked up
on general principles, although no
crime had been committed and they
were suspected Of no evil doing. The
idea of the peace officers evidently was
that the man might do some wrong
and that it was better to take means of
prevention.
One eX-convict who had been thus
treated called upon the governor
and made complaint. He said he had
started out with the firm determine ton
to lead an honest life but that after
such treatment on the first day out of
prison he had given up and intended to
follow the course the officers expected
him to.
Ia their anxiety to show results,
some police officers arrest ex-convicts
for crimes that have been committed,
even though there is no evidence to
connect the men with the offenses
They make the arrest in the hope that
some thing will develop or with the de-
sire to show that they know the rec

Sometimes, also, when an exconvict
has secured employment, police Off
GERS warn the employer that he has a
criminal at work for him, and this Of
ten results in the mans discharge
These abuses We're the cause of the
discontinuance of the favor extended
to police officers by the prison officials.
Pictures and descriptions will still
be furnished to peace officers where oc-
casion demands or whenever applica-
ton is made for description of some
particular person. If there were rea-
sons to believe that a man about to be
discharged would Immediately commit
a crime. his picture might be sent out,
but the general custom of furnishing
descriptions of all discharged prisoners
Will not be observed during the re-
mainder of Chamberlains administra-
ton.
