MINERS ORDER PROSPEROUS.
There Are $4,000 United Mineworlers
I'm Illinois.


springfield, ILL.,. Feb. 21.-The Illi-
no,s division of the United Minework-
ers of America met in delegate con-
vention in this city this morning at 10
o'clock. An aggregate membership OF
about $4,000 are represented by sew
eral hundred delegates. There is
nothing Of special Importance to come
before the meeting, but there are
numerous matters demanding atten-
ton. The sessions are likely to last
several days, as officers are to be
elected and various reports to be
heard and accepted.
The contracts with the operators OF
the state. which hold good for an
other year, remove the possibility OF
trouble over wages or conditions OF
labor. The Zeigler controversy is the
only matter of vital concern to come
up for consideration and action.
The annual report of secretary
Treasurer Ryan shows that the organ
ization is in good shape Throughout
Illinois and has accomplished mucn
| in the last IL months. The outlook IL
stated to be more peaceful than II
has been for some time. Financially
the organization is in better condi'
ton than IL ever has been before. Tht
expenses are less than they have beer
before. The expenses are less thai
they have been for several years an'
fewer miners are unemployed than II
ordinarily the case.

WHEAT Is NOT DAMAGED.


Consensus OF Opinion Among Farmers
is That "Freeze Out, Reports Can
not Be Verified.
1--WE always lose two crops of wheat
in Umatilla county every year; one by
freezing in the winter season, and one
by dry weather in the spring, and yet
we always raise an average of from
30 to rs bushels, for the entire coun-
ty, each year. II we should escape
one year with full crop. there would
not be room in the county TO contain
it, said a prominent farmer to the
East Oregonian today.
The consensus of opinion among "a
large number of farmers in the city
today, is that the wheat crop is not
seriously damaged, IL at all. In iso-
lated places, where there was no snow
to protect 1t, some damage has been
done, but taken the county over the
loss from freezing will not be notice
able.
In the Athena district there is no
damage whatever, because of the
heavy snowfall covering the wheat
fields, but in the vicinity of Helix
there are few spots that show
traces of the freeze. In the Adams and
Fulton districts there is said to be
no damage whatever and little dam
age in the light soil northwest of the
city.

E,ouring Mill Closed Down.

The Rivailier flour mill has closed
for the season, having exhausted the
supply of grain in the valley The
mill has produced about 1000 barrels
Of flour this fall. Some wheat still
remains in the warehouse at the mill,
which will be run through later
There is also some in the hands of the
growers, but as it is thought much
new ground will be broken this spring
it is held for seed, expecting to real
ize a better price for it as seed than
can be offered at the mill for grind
ing purposes.-Prairie City Miner.

A sheet of flame 100 feet high snot
upward from the mouth OF the mine
and a great fall of timbers and earth
followed, completely closing the
