AN AWFUL DISASTER.
Explosion in Welsh Mine Kills Over
100 Men-sixty-E Eight Bodies
Recovered.

Cardiff, Wales, July IAN explo7
sion Of fire damp in No. 2 pit of the Unit
ed National Colliery company at Watts
town, in the Rhondda valley, the cen
ter of the great Welsh coal fields, Tues
day morning, is believed to have re-
suited in the loss of at least 120 lives.
Sixty-eight bodies have been recovered.
The explosion was followed Immediate
ly by the belching of clouds of smoke
and dust from the pit shaft, in which
$50 men were working. The force of the
explosion wrecked the machinery at the
mouth of the pit. All communication
with the doomed men in this direction
is completely cut off. No. 1 shaft, adj
joining has ordinarily afforded COM
munication with No.. The 800 men in
No. l and the few who escaped from No.
2. were drawn up. A rescue party de-
scended, but it's work was seriously im-
| peded by the foul air and the falling
masses of earth dislodged by the explo-
sion Heroic efforts have been made
| for hours to reach the entombed men,
| but the absence of all sound from the
interior of the mine told the tale of the
worst disaster that has taken place in
| South Wales since 1894.

Hay.

Minneapolis. of hay may
be felt this fall as result of the food
ing of the low lands along the Missis-
sippi river Thousands of acres OF
good meadow land lie along the banks
of the river below the Twin Cities and
along the headwaters. The July flood
will make it impossible to get crop
from these, as the river has been high
for SO long that the growing grass has
been converted into seaweed.
Coming so late in the season, the
second crop will be light. The first
crop, usually made in the latter part
of June or first of July, is an import
ant part of the Northwestern supply.
With this cut off, the price Of hay
grown on the higher grounds probably
will be much higher than it has been
within recent years. Farmers near the
Twin Cities who are fortunate enough
to have good hay crops are expecting
| higher prices than those now pre-
vailing.

NEWS OF MINNESOTA.

Half Fare Rates to MINI. State Fair.
There having been some misleading
statements regarding half fare rates
to the Minnesota state fair, the exact
situation should be made plain to the
people of Northwest. All lines in the
Western Passenger Association have
already granted the half fare rate.
This includes the Chicago, Milwaukee
& ST. Paul; the Northwestern" and
Omaha; the Great Western; the Min
neapolis & St. St. Louis; the Burling-
ton and the Wisconsin Central. It
will be seen from this that half rates
have actually been announced and are
assured for all southern and central
Minnesota, northern Iowa, eastern
South Dakota and western Wisconsin.
The Northern Pacific, Great North
ern and $500" lines have held up the
announcement of half rates pending
arrangements for protecting them
selves against the scalping of state
fair tickets; but there is not the least
question that these roads will grant
the rate as usual and that the official
announcement will be made in a short
time-perhaps before these lines reach
the reader. The people of the North
west need have no fear that they will.
not get the usual half fare rate to the
Minnesota state fair.

Aside from the pleasure of eating sea
