ROSSLAND, B. c., Ang' 81. M.

returned he found Hayden's lifeless
body resting on the wires.
Reginald Mcintosh, the l3 year old
son of Harry Mcintosh, was drowned
in the Columbia river yesterday after
noon while on at picnic given by the
Methodist church.
Flora Anew, the 8 year old daugh-
ter of George Agnew, was found dead
in her room this morning. She had
attended the picnic yesterday and saw
the lifeless body of Reggie Mcintosh

thought that the excitement of the
day and the tragic death resulted in
heart failure.

PANAMA, Aug. 5.-Laborers are
wanted on the big ditch in Panama.
No cravens or weaklings need apply
that is, no cravens who are afraid of
the fevers lurking in the yellow mists
of the Chagres river, and no weaklings
who cannot stand under a sky that
bends overhead like a molten ball, and
labor in ditch hundred feet deep,
in mud up to the ankles, in humidity
that drives men mad, and in a plague
of flies and mosquitoes aud noxious in
sects
Yet men Will go to their deaths just
the same for Uncle Sam holds forth
inducements and the ditch must be
built.
Even under the improved condi tions
since the United States assumed con-
troll, Panama is still the garbage spot
of the earth.' The streets are filthy
and odorous and even the strongest
laborers from the states find the eli
mate enervating and demoralizing
and are unable to withstand the awful
heat after few days work.
Dozens of.laborers are confined in
the insane asylum, quadrangle OF
noisome and breathless cells around a
cement covere, court. so hot under
foot that it can sea- cely he traversed.
A laborer may escape yellow fever
| but there are other human Ills which
are almost inevitable. Acute malarIal
fever is one of these, and once firm y
planted in the system it means either
change Of climate or a slow drag
ging death.
Even now, with the complement OF
laborers not nearly filled, the ambu-
lance is constantly on the go. When
the French were building the canal
there were dozens of vehicles on the
go day and night, conveying the sick
to the hospital and the dead to the
graveyard.
Even at Culebra, the highest of the
island stations, the atmosphere is 81
moist that clothing left off at nigh
cannot be resumed in the morning
without wringing the water out oi
them.

TAKE AN EARLY MORNING DRIVE
THROUGH WENATCHEE
AND VICINITY
TALK OF STRIKE E
THINK THE VALLEY HAS A GREAT
FUTURE-LARGE CITY WILL
BE BUILT HERE

A party of Great Northern officials,
consisting of L. W. Hill, vice presi-
ident R. Campbell, 4th vice president;
F. E. Ward. gen'l manager; W. W.
Broughton, freight tlatfic manager;
D. Miller, First vice president of the
G. B. and O. railroad, and Mrs. Miller,
and George F. Baker Jr., of New York,
came through here this morning on
special train on their way to the coast,
most of the party taking advantage OF
short stop that was made. to take
drive through the Wenatchee valley.
The party is on pleasure trip and
has been a week or more on the way
from st. Paul. They expect to arrive
in Seattle tonight. From there they
will go to Por ;land to visit the
Fair. They will not return by the
way of Wenatchee but will travel to
Spokane via the o. R. and n. railroad,
visiting points of interest in Oregon.
Mr.. Miller was formerly vice presi
dent of the Great Northern and it
was on account of his desire to see
Wenatchee that the stop was made
here. Immediately upon arriving here
at I 80 this morning, Mr.. Miller and
others of the party entered carriages
that were waiting lor them and were
driven through the city and valley.
On his return to the car, Mr.. Miller
was very enthusiastic In his praises of
Wenatchee. He said:
"This is the first time that have
been in Wenatchee since my appoint
ment on the Burlington, and the
changes that have taken place in the
short while that l have been away
from your city, are startling. have
always had great deal of faith in the
future of Wenatchee but must say
did not expect to see such strides for

few years believe that there will
be city here that in time will be Sc

gard;ng the strike situation said:

touch with it as travelled west.
believe that the railroad officials have
the situation we'll in hand and the on
ly injury that has been done is sligh
slo xness in handling freight at vari
Gus points along the line. A large
percentage of our operators have re
turned to work and more men are
joining them avery day. We have NJ
trouble in handling trains and the sit
uation grows brighter every day.
wish to say that operators on th'
Great Northern system are, in som,
respects, higher paid than on any
other road in the United States. AS
understand the situation, the dissatis
faction was not so much with tn,
Great Northern as with the Northern
Pacific but the union officia decided
to hang together and strike on potI
lines. Onr men are with US at heart
! though they are forced to obey th'
: laws of the union. To illustrate; on,

work, taking most of his fellow EN-
ployes on the division back to worl

Many Of the country papers in the
Herald's list contain editorial utter
ances as brilliant and pointed and as
full of genuine honesty as any pre-
sented in the large city dailies that
come to its exchange table.
1.-THE Herald considers that in the
exchange of its daily issues for the
daily or weekly issues Of the country
papers of its territory, its own court
esy is extended in return for full value
received, and it cannot forsee a time
when it would be willing to make any
change in its present arrangement
with these newspapers. Its country
exchange list, instead of being re-
garded as burdensome expense. is
regarded as valuable asset, without
which it could not conveniently or
adequately perform its work."

TO TEST RIGHT.
Jakop Makela Sues Fall Lake
Boom Company.

A suit which will test the right of a
boom company to build dams and
cause the water to back up in natu: al
outlets and overflow the property Of
private individuals to their damage,
has been commenced by Jakop Makela
against the Fall Lake Boom company.
Makela claims that by reason of the
dam which the boom company con-
|structed in tile Kawishiwi river, the
natural outlet for White Iron Lake,
his forty acres of hay meadow was
entirely ruined last season. Makela
believes that he would have at least
fifty tons Of hay from the land, worth
$l2 per ton, and he demands judy
ment for 5000, together with interest
and costs.
Makela's farm comprises lots 3 and
4 and the east half of the southwest
quarter of section IA, 62-12, bordering
on White Iron Lake. The Kawishiwi
river carries the water of White Iron
Lake into Fall Lake.
Makela claims that when the water
in White Iron lake is at its natural
level his land is several feet above the
surface OF the lake and is high and
dry. He alleges that the boom COM
pany constructed dam across the
Kawishiwi river to such a height
that it raised the water in the lake
to such an extent that it ran over and
covered his meadow land to the depth
of several feet. Makela says that the
dam impounded the water of White
Iron lake and its tributaries all the
past summer and claims that the
action of the boom company in thus

causing injury to his land was wrong
full and unlawful. A. j. Thomas rep
resents Makela's interests.
The Country Paper.

The Duluth Evening Herald has a
few words to say regarding country
newspapers that are strictly to the
point. The Herald takes as a basis
for its utterances the recent action
Of the Minneapolis Tribune in asking
the country newspapers to pay for
their exchange copy of the Tribune.
The Herald says:
"A Twin City daily newspaper is
wrestling with what it calls it's sex
change problem" and has prepared a
set of figures showing what it cost to
maintain an exchange list and at
tempting to prove that it is impos-
sible to conduct it without charging
newspapers that seek exchange cour-
tesies price for the privilege of
going on its subscription list, that
price being about half its regular
rate.
Apparently it is the so-called
country press that is agitating the
Twin City publication, and which it
seeks to charge stated price for
receiving the paper. In short, it is
wearied Of its exchange list of country
newspapers, and seeks to limit it by
making the country editor pay for
his paper.
Now, the Herald values its country
exchanges quite as highly as it does
any Others on its large list of exchang-
es. Indeed, il it came to a choice Of
abandoning its general exchange list
throughout the country at large, or
its list Of country papers in the terri
tory in which it circulates, it would
certainly choose without hesitation to
keep its country exchanges.
"The country editor may occupy a
humber place on the stage of the
worlds theater, but it is not less USE
full than that of the city brother.
Through the columns of his news
paper he breaches loyalty to his home
community and the home state, and
lie reflects public opinion in his VIC
Unity much more clearly, in many In
stances, than the metropolitan editor
does of.his community. In too many
instances the city newspaper is hedg-
ed about by business alliances that
make its utterances something less
than free; in politics, if it is a party
organ, there is generally much less
independence than is found in the
country newspaper.
"a metropolitan newspaper that
aims to serve its territory can hardly
do it without the assistance of its
country exchange list, for the papers
on that list can generally be depended
