AT WORK
New Trail To Mount Dewey
 Being Constructed

The chamber of commerce committee began work on the trail to the sumit ot Mount Dewey yesterday. The work is in charge of Frank Page, and it will be pushed as rapidly as poSs;;S'e in order that it may be completed before it shall snow.
 The new trail leaves the trail to Lake Dewey on the first bench where the latter leaves the pipe line. Instead of following the Lake Dewey trail from that point to the right Of the res oryoir, it turns to the left and goes up by the old wood chute and follows it to the top of the second bench.
 About 6 dozen men are employed.

fell, but the deluge was SO great that
water stood over the fields from eight

bitches broke their banks and added
their flood. making rivers of the fer.

By a conservative estimate, it was
found that the rainfall to the acre
equalled five carloads of water, or a
fall of 1.3S inches.
The center of the storm was near
Johnstown. There, several big breaks
occurred in the Hillsboro ditch, which
will cost several thousand dollars to
repair. The Little Thompson creek

land Is at the eastern entrance to Gore

into consideration, it is the place
where the reclamation engineers must
place the proposed dam of any reser-

Not moment was lost and the land
board was summoned yesterday morn

Craig who was out OF the city. and in
a very few minutes they had approved
a sale of the land. less than twenty
acres, to the railroad at a price OF
$3.50 an acre. The total amount Is
$65. In few minutes more the
money had been paid and a deed
passed to the company. Thus Is any
attempt at getting out an injunction or
other delay rendered futile.

both ends of the canon. having pur-
chased the western end year ago
in the canon the government owns

Nine. Curie of Paris, the discoverers o:
this rare and valuable mineral, have

says Professor Walcott. THE fact that
all elements do not show radio-activity
as much as do radium. uranium and
thorium Is explained from the fact that
these elements have the greatest
atomic weights. and we can therefore
think of them as much more complex
and more liable to break down. We
can consider the smallest particle of
radium as containing about 225000
electrons having definite arrange
ment, and this group is known as an
atom; that is. particle of matter so
small that it cannot be divided without
changing its properties. The atom is
SO small that it is far from being Wis

NO PEACE PROSPECTS.
CHICAGO STRIKE is SPREADING

Renewal of Riotins Expected-Action
of Wood Industry Employers Will
Drive Out Eighteen Hundred Men
Sheriff Will Call for Troops.
Chicago, May 24.-All hope Of a
peaceful settlement of the Chicago
strike vanished yesterday when the To-
cal managers of the express companies
refused to reinstate their drivers who
struck when ordered to deliver goods
to boycotted stores.
The sheriff of Cook county despairs
of being able to control the situation
and renewal of rioting, now deemed
certain, will result in placing 1000
state troops on duty within two hours.
The lumbermen's association insists
that it's drivers shall deliver goods to
the boycotted houses, and as fast as
they refuse they are discharged. This
will soon cause the strike to spread
throughout the building trades, the un-
ion men being expected to refuse to
handle material delivered by non-un-
ion teamsters.
The last conference looking toward
peaceful adjustment was held at G
o'clock last night between James B.
Barry, business agent of the express
drivers union, and the local managers
of seven express companies.
The conference had been set for an
early hour in the afternoon, but, ow-
ing to the failure Of Mr.. Barry to re-
ceive proper notice, it was postponed
until this evening.
When the meeting finally took place,
the conversation was brief and pointed.
Business Agent Barry opened the nego-
tiations by saying:
"Our position is this: want all the
men reinstated except those who
have been guilty of violence 1 can
not do anything different. That is
what the local union wants, and that
is what the local officers have told me
to demand. That is all can do. The
in body, or they won't go back at all.
That is the position of the union and
the union officials
The reply of the representatives of
the express companies was brief. 1t
was:
"Our opposition to the reinstatement
of the men will be the same four
years from now as it is to-day. We will
not take them back under any circum-
stances
This brought the conference to a
close, and all parties concerned in it
Immediately left the City hall.
A meeting of the United Employers
Association of Wood Industries, which
is composed of five associations, en-
bracing 1876 firms owning lumber yards,
planning mills, sash and door fac
tories, etc, was held to-day, and it was
decided to call upon their drivers to
make deliveries. This will force out
1900 additional men.
Sheriff Barrett said last night:
"At the first outbreak of trouble
which in any way approaches the riot
ing we have had, l shall call for
troops. 1 will do everything in my
power to maintain order, but the min
ute 1t gets beyond me l will appeal to
the governor and the troops will be or
the ground within two hours"

CELEBRATED WOMAN REFoRMER
One Of the First Great Woman Writers

Work in the Civil Mar.

One Of the First Great Woman Writers
and Lecturers-Noted for Her
Work in the Civil War.
Melrose, Mass, May 24.-Mrs. Mary
A. Livermore, the well-known writer
and reformer, died at her home here
yesterday. Bronchitis and a weak
heart fastened the end.
Mary Ashton Livermore was born in
Boston December 10, 1921. Her
maiden name was Rice. She was noted
in childhood for resolution and restless
activity, being foremost in all health
full outdoor sports and also remarkable
for proficiency in her studies. She was
pupil and for some time a teacher in
the Charlestown, Massachusetts, fe-
male seminary, and subsequently be-
came governess in southern Virginia,
where she remained two years, and
then taught at Duxbury, Massachu-
sets.
There she met Daniel P. Livermore,
Universalist clergyman, whom she
married and accompanied successfully
to Stamford, Canecticut; Maiden and
Weymouth, Massachusetts; Auburn,
New York, and Quincy, Illinois, in
which places he had pastorates. In
1857 he became editor and publisher OF
the New Covenant at Chicago, on
which she did great deal of work.
At the beginning of 1862, Mrs. Liver
more was appointed one of the agents
OF the northwest branch of the United
States Sanitary Commission, which
had been then recently established in
Chicago. During that year she trav-
eled throughout the Northwest, every
where organizing sanitary aid socie-
ties. In the following December she
attended a countil of the National Sani-
tary Commission at Washington, and
the next spring was ordered to make
tour of the hospitals and military posts
ON the Mississippi. At this time sani-
tary supplies were low, and the most
serious results at the Vicksburg camps
were feared, but by persistent appeals,
by circulars and by untiring persist
ence and enthusiasm, she secured i'm
mediate relief.
She also took an active part in the
organization of the great Northwestern
Sanitary Fair at Chicago in 1868. from
which nearly 100000 was secured for
the purposes of the association, and
obtained the original draft of his
emancipation proclamation from Pres
ident Lincoln, which sold for $4,000.
