FIVE MEN ARE KILLED
IN A MINING SHAFT
Powder Is Exploded by the Premature
Turning on of Electric Current.

five men were killed out right, three
fatally and two seriously injured and
twenty others slightly hurt. The dead

Six kegs of powder had been placed
in the mine during the time interven-

for distribution to the men. John Mil
Ter, q driver, had charge Of the distri-
button. Ten minutes after Miller was
supposed to have accomplished his
task the electric current which runs

explosion followed. 1t is supposed that
through some mistake the current was
switched on before Miller had dis
tributed the powder.

A bulletin recently issued By Colo

bees. Some people. indeed. think that
there are only three-the honey bee,
humble bee, and q smaller Wild spe-
cies. According to the authority Just
quoted, no less than 1,S7s different spe-
cies Of wild bees have been described
from North America-that Il. lnclud-
ing all Of the country north Of Panama
up to the present day. When
comes to study the habits and struc-
ture Of az these bees. says the New
York Tribune, It is possible to under
stand why the varieties are 80 numsr-
Gus. ff
The pollen Of flowers has TO be car
ried principally By insects-that Of one

each kind OF bee should visit n par

should prefer certain kinds. This
proves to be more Or less the case. and
there are many bees that I've visit
more than one sort Of flower. The num-
Der Of flowers is very great, and con-
seQuently It IL not surprising to ind
mat there are many sorts Of bees.
In numerous instances the mouth
part Of the bees is exactly suited to
the flowers they visit Thus certain
kinds with very long tongues a suck
the nectar from long tubular flowers,
such as the yellow lowered currant,
while others, with short tongues, can
make use Of shallow flowers. It is the
case Of the fox and the stork over again.
Although the described North Amer
lean bees are so numerous, II is asserted
that the entomologists do not know half
OF those existing. Indeed, It is not Inn
possible that the North American con-
tinent, with the West Indies. possesses
as many as 5000 species. Thus the OPP
portunity for the student Of these In
sects Is very great. He Is absolutely
certain to find in almost any part OF the
country species wholly new to science
during his first seasons collecting. In
Colorado, for instance, It is probable that
almost any spring or summer day de-
voted to the search, would yield new
kinds. In New Mexico up to to-day sos
species have been found, and Of those

The discovery and description Of new
species are, however, only the begin

nesting habits and the relation between

HEAVIER ROLLING STOCK
Motor Company Has Placed Order
for Twenty-Five-TOn Engine.

Fl. Hirschberg, president and man
ager of the motor company, has
placed an order for twenty-five-ton
locomotive to be used on the run be-
tween Independence and Dallas. In
creased freight and passenger traffic
has made heavier rolling stock a
necessity, aud the new locomotive will
be sent to the company at the earliest
possible date
Under new arrangement OF the
Southern Pacific Company, all car
load traffic from Dallas to points
south will go via Independence and
Corvallis to Albany. The regular
freight train will take these cars to
Monmouth, and the motor company
will transfer them to Independence
over its own track. Heretofore all
shipments for California and other
southern points have been sent via
Whiteson. The distance by rail from
Dallas to Independence over the
Southern Pacific tracks is 46 miles.
The distance between the two towns
via Monmouth and the motor COM
pany's track is only 10 miles. The
saving Of a 36-mile haul will prove
mutually advantageous to the com
pany and the shipper
A spur to the large gravel bed on
the Willamette river, at Independence,
is to be built by the two companies
this Summer. The Southern Pacific
will use this gravel on the West Side
and Yamhill divisions, and the motor
company will ballast the two miles of
track between Independence and Mon
mouth, and also furnish gravel for
the improvement of the Dallas and
Falls City railroad. The signs of the
times point to some lively railroad
improvements on the west side of the
Willamette river this year.
