MINERS WAGES
And the Prosperity of the In
duStry.

It is a fact which most of our readers
who are in charge of mining property
will bear out, that no one would oppose
more vigorously than mine managers
and superintendent any proposal to re-
duce the wages of the working miner.
In many cases such opposition on the
part of manager would seem to be fly
ing in the face of his own personal in
terests. Ask any of these managers
the reason why he opposes reduction OF
wages and in all probability he would
give you some vague expression of opin-
ion that in themselves would certainly
not warrant an opposition to what may
be, on the face of it, a reasonable pol
icy on the part of the company he rep
resents. A mans business reasons are
usually formulated after he has arrived
at certain conclusions, and not before.
The real reasons for policies may be en-
tirely at varience with those expressed.
In every business an instinct is devei-
oped which will unerringly direct those
in charge of such business, without any
apparent mental effort on their part.
Call it sub-conscious reasoning if you
choose. It is a fact that this sub-con-

that Elk City was in a bad way:
'"Lewiston, Oct. ST have
never seen the Elk City camp so

four men are working. "
'The Buffalo mill is working

AS to the truth or falsity Of
the foregoing news" item, it
is really immaterial. The impor-
lance which attaches thereto is
to be found in the readiness with
which the Spokesman-Review
publishes and embellishes it to
possible injury of this district.
1t is a fact, of course, that a
newspaper is dependent almost
wholly for the correctness of its
statements upon the honesty and
intelligence of its correspondents.
But it is also a fact that the
Spokesman-Review would not
publish a statement emanating
from the above source, which
would make for the benefit Of
this district.
This last "jolt" administered
by the Spokesman-Review, taken
in connection with the imminence
of the sale for debt of the Amer

that P. Clark intends to bic

DEATH AMIDST MlRTH
Four Of Merry Party Of Seven Sud.
denly Met Death.
CAUSE: cAPsIzINe OF sAILHoAT
the Catastrophe Occurred In Muske-
gon Lake, and Was Witnessed by
Hundreds Of spectators-Hish Wind
Prevailed.

Muskegon, Mich, July 5.-One OF the
most terrible accidents ever known
here occurred when four members of
; pleasure party of seven were
drowned in Muskegon lake, in full
view Of hundreds Of spectators, by the
capsizing of sailboat.
The party consisted of Albert Ken
nicott, an official in the Shaw Elec-
trio Crane works. his wife, three chill
dren, the oldest being four years Of
age, and Misses Adeline and Georgette
Emerson, two young ladies prominent
in social and church work in the city.
Very high winds prevailed, with
whitecaps on the lake, when the party
started out. They went across the
lake and when near Ruddliman's point
the spectators noticed that the boat
had gotten out of the control Of Mr..
Kennicott and 1t soon after capsized.
Mr. and Mrs. Kennicott and Miss
Georgette Emerson chung to the over
turned boat and were rescued by life
savers. The parents made frantic eff
fort to save their children and succeed
cd in getting hold Of the 13-months-ol
baby, which died before reaching
shore.

a Sustaining Diet.

These are the eneryating days, when,
as somebody has said, men drop by the
sunstroke as if the Day of Fire had
dawned. They are fraught with danger
to people whose systems are poorly sus-
tanned: and this leads us to say, in the
interest of the less robust of our read
ers, that the full effect of Hood Sarsa-
parilla is such as to suggest the pro-
priety of calling this medicine some
thing besides blood purifier and tonic,
say, sustaining diet. 1t makes it
much easier to bear the heat, assures
refreshing sleep, and will without any
doubt avert much sickness at this time
Of year.

OVER 600 pERIsHEb.
Danish Steamer Norge Sinks OF Coast
Of Scotland.


Grimsby, England. July ga lone
pie of granite rising sheer cut OF the
Atlantic 200 miles from the Scottish
mainland is now monument to al
most seven hundred dead. Bodies
wash against the rocks or lie in The
ocean bed at It's base. Near by, conf
pletely hidden in the water, is the
ndinavian-American liner NORGE
which was carrying 500 Danes, No.
wegians, Swedes and Firms to join rel
atives or friends in America. OF these
only about $50 were saved.
No tragedy Of the sea has had more
appalling consequences and none has
occurred in a shorter time. The pas
sengers were suddenly aroused frcm
their sleep, terrified by the contact Of
the bow of the ship with the sold
granite, followed by grinding, rasping
sound as if the hull was beinN shored
over huge rocks. Those of the passsI-
gers who were standing at the tine
the steamer struck the rock We're
thrown against the bulkheads or on
the decks and had not recovered their
feet when a stentorian voice gave he
terrifying order: "All hands on deck.
Hurry or you may sink" Those who
reached the deck saw the nose OF the
Norge. pinned directly against TIE
rock. 1t remained there only few
minutes, for Captain Gundell, COM
handing, who had Immediately gene
to the bridge, gave the order to the III.
gineer TO reverse the engines. Some
men of the engineer force had rela.
tlves among the passengers, and after
seeing them safely to the boats they
heroically returned to their stations
below.
Slowly the ship backed off and as
she gained way 1t was found that Va
ter was pouring into her hold.
The sound of grinding ceased and
The bow of the Norge waved as the
steamer returned to deep water. The
see rushed hungrily into the huge
rents. in the iron null. Swiftly the YES
sci began to sink by the bows.
Three boats it is known successfully
got away from the sinking ship. The
passengers frantically pulled aw. ~
from the doomed vessel, passing ty
roor wretches who were still aloat
and who vainly begged to be taken en-
beard, while from the ship came long,
despairing cries.

st. Louis, July Con the hour Of
the Democratic national convention, in
which the struggle for the nomination
fol- president has been a free-for-all
contest, the prospect is that Judge AL
ton B. Parker Of New York, the candi.
date of the conservative forces, will
win handily.
Where a week ago were doubt, I'M
certainty, sparring for position, parley-
Ing for time, factional scheming and
manipulating to overthrow the fa-
vorite, is now the foregone conclusion
that the field will come in a poor sec
ond.
Not only does it appear that the con-
troll of the nomination for first place
on the ticket will be in the hands of
those Democrats who were in the
minority in 1896 and again in 1900, but
that they will select the nominees
running mate and dominate the plat
form on which the race will be made.

WONDERFUL ESCAPES.
Stories of Two Women Who Were
Very Near to Death.


Very Near to Death.
One of the earliest wrecks recorded
on the coast of America was that OF a
Dutch vessel on Sandy Hook in 1920.
The captain, passengers and crew con-
trived- to evade the Indians and In the
longboat arrived safely in New York,
excepting man and woman named
Van Princis. He was wounded at the
time of the wreck and had to be left
behind with his faithful young wife.
Penelope. BY her aid he managed to
find a shelter in the neighboring woods.
where she nursed him until they were
discovered by the savages.
Tigers could not have been more
merciless to these helpless castaways.
They murdered the husband and cleav-
ing the woman's skull and fearfully
slashing her body left her for dead, as
they supposed. But she seemed to
have possessed q constitution of iron,
for she revived and crept into hollow
tree, where she actually kept alive
seven days. On the seventh day deer
passed her with arrows sticking in its
side This was evidence that the In
dams We're at hand. Rendered desper-
ate by hunger and pain, and preferring
immediate death to a continuance Of
this lingering starvation, the young wo-
man crawled forth from her asylum as
two Indians reached the spot.
One was for finishing her at once
Il 1t. n l. A.
elder Indian, moved perhaps by a
shrewd desire to profit, interposed, took
her to his wigwam and by the applica-
ton of simples cured her wounds.
When she was able to bear the jour-
ney, he took her to New York There
she was ransomed for what was very
large sum according to the price Of
captives in the Indian stock exchange.
This most remarkable heroine after
ward married Richard Stout and died
in 1712 at the age Of 40, after seeing
502 of her descendants.
Her story reminds me of an episode
Of Margaret Erskine, who was laid in
the family vault apparently dead. A
ring left on her finger had attracted the
cupidity of two of the attendants at
her funeral. They invaded the vault
and in order to remove the ring cut the
finger. She started up in her coffin.
Horrow stricken, the robbers fled, and
she walked home in her shroud and
tapped on the door. Her husband rec
ognized her knock and ran to the door,
saying, "It is my Margaret" Her son.
the famous Lord ErslIine, was born
year after his mother-s funeraL-Ion-

R. R. ECONOMIES
NOT FELT HERE.
NO SWEEPING REDUCTIONS YET
MADE AMONG EMPLOYEES.
In tho Hast the Story Is Dtfrercnt-
Thousands Of Men Are Being
Dropped Because of Decline in
Traffic in the Manufacturing Dis
tricts.

Minneapolis railway employees are
fortunate in living In an agricultural
district. Heavy reductions in forces
are being made in the manufacturing
districts of the east. The factories
first feel business depression and rail-
ways serving them reduce expenses by
letting out help. In the agricultural
west the railroads do not feel the de-
preston so early, and for that reason
the Minneapolis roads are not making
sweeping cuts. 9s
The Rock Island has not made much
local reduction. The ST. Louis has
just completed Its heavy improve
ments covering period of five years,
and consequently does not require 50
many men. The 500 line has issued
reduction orders which affect from
1000 to 1900 men, but this consists
rather in shorter hours than in dis
charges. Other lines report that
wholesale slaughter has not yet been
ordered.
A New York telegram says Of the
situation:
1.-THE reduction of the working
forces Of the railroads in this coun-
try is more extensive and radical than
was thought a month ago would be
necessary Present indications are
that not less than Is, 900 employees will
be dropped. Train hands, station men
and clerks have been receiving notices
to quit since April Is, and by June
10 it is expected that the wedding out
process will have been completed.
With the exception Of the panic Pc
Rod, beginning in 1898, this Is the
most wholesale reduction Of railroad
working forces known at any one
time.
"The following table gives an ap-
proximate idea Of the number of rail-
road men put out of employment be-
tween April Is and June 10:
