DEAL SUCCEEDS
All Obstacles Are Brushed Aside by
Principals in the Nego-
tiations.
NEW OFFICERS AGREED ON
GREAT WORK BLOCKED OUT FOR
SNAKE RIVER VALLEY.

Obstacles that seemed for time to
make success an impossibility have
been overcome and the big Twin Falls
bond deal has been put through along
the lines originally mapped out. Some
days ago the information was given out
that the deal had failed because OF the
inability Of the Chicago bond house of
Trowbridge & NiVer to raise the cap
ital needed. This report was based upon
hitch that had arisen. Later every
thing was Strengthened out, and yester
day the official information was given
out in this city that the deal had gone
through and that the work at Twin
Falls on both sides Of the Snake river
would be pushed with the utmost vigor.
Miner Now Heads Company.
Purchase by S. B. Miner, I. B. Per-
rine and their associates Of the interest
~ held by the Buhl-Kimberly syndi-
cate formed the basis for the deal just
closed. Practically $4,000, 600 was in
volved in the negotiations. Bonds to
the value of 81, 500 900 are to be taken up
at once. Work on the north side Of
the Snake river is to be done at cost
of $500 900, making the total cost Of
the entire Twin Falls irrigation scheme
$4,000, 600. Under the reorganization the

A meeting for the purpose of reor-
ganization will be held Feb. 6. Work on
the south side of the Snake river will

SMALL CHANCE
FOR AGREEMENT
Miners in Central Competitive Dis
trict Have Demanded an In
crease of Wages.
OPERATORS NOT WILLING
DEADLOCK IN JOINT SCALE COM
MITTEE.

Indianapolis, Jan. 31.-John Mitchell,
president of the United Mine Workers of
America, addressing the joint scale COM
Inittee of the central competitive district,
today, said:
There must be an increase in wages or
there will be no agreement.
In delivering his ultimatum today TO
the operators, President Mitchell did not
mention any percentage of increase. 1t
is generally recognized that his state
ment is backed by the almost unanimous
sentiment of the miners delegates, and
that the minimum increase that would be
accepted without a, struggle will be the
per cent which was the amount of the
decrease in wages two years ago.

Producers of Iron and Steel Not Able
to Keep Pace With the EnOr-
nous Consumption.
MILLS RUN CONTINUOUSLY
HEAVY SHIPMENTS TO FOREIGN
COUNTRIES.

New York. Jan. S1.-The Iron Age to-
morrow will say:
Consumption is proceeding at an enor-
nous rate, and it is believed that the
majority of producers of finished iron
and steel are very much in the position
of the United States Steel corporation
with it's orders of 100000 tons Makers
in nearly all branches of the finished
trades are prorating shipments. 1t IS
understood that as yse wire makers have
been unable to accumulate the stocks
with which they generally endeayor TO
enter the spring season, and that the
stocks of tube, tin plate and sheet max
ers at a low ebb-

Enormous Production.

Favored by open weather, production
is proceeding at an enormous rate. Some
mills have been running right along to
catch up, but Sunday productive work
is to be stopped. While nothing of spe-
cial moment has developed in the pig
iron trade, and the central west is rath-
er quiet, the volume Of current business
is good, with inquirers at hand for the
second half of the year
Sales of steel rails during the week
aggregate about $1,000 tons, about g 900
tons being for the New Haven road; TO-,
600 tons additional for the Southern Pa
cific; 12,OJ0 tons for a trolley system at
Los Angeles; 5000 tons for the Central IL
linois Construction company, with 5000

Compelled to Stop work.

President Mitchell also made a declara-
ton to the joint scale committee from
the southwestern district. 1t was in re-
had said that on account of the existing
wage scale he had been compelled to stop
operations entirely on one of his proper
ties, and if there was an increase in
wages the miners might as well wipe his
property off the earth, as he could not
afford to operate il.
Mr.. Mitchell declared that so far as his
influence extended with the Miners
union, and so long as he could prevent it
the standard of conditions enjoyed by
the miners at present would never be
lowered

 But just as she was thinking this last thought the door flew open and tiny little long-bearded man made his ap- pearance.

 Next to this room was another and larger room full of straw. Hither he led the miller's daughter and command ed her to convert all this straw into gold by dawn of the next day. or she would surely die. With that he staiked away.
 Again the maiden fell to bitter weep ing, thinking that now all hope was gone indeed. But again the little old man appeared, and looked first ar her. then at the straw.

 "Will you take this ring from my fin- ger?" asked the maiden.
 ''Yes.H And, taking the ring, the little old man sat down to the spinning wheel and set to work even more furiously than the night before, there being so much more straw to spin.
 Next morning, to the Kings delight, there was a great pile of glitterinz goldl But his greed was not yet satisfied. So the poor maiden was conducted into a third and yet larger room, stuffed so full of straw that there was barely room for the spinning wheel and the girl her self.
 By tomorrow morn have all this straw spun into gold, and you shall become my bride said the King, for he had concluded that even a miller's daughter who could spin straw Into gold would be more desirable wife

Some savages use bows and arrows; others spears, and others slings as weap- ons of offense and defense.
 Still others use instruments which we would call blowguns, which shoot ar- rows with wonderful accuracy.
