Postofhee site.


Noting by the paper that the public
affairs committee of the Commercial club
are inclined to regard the block between
Hennepin and First avenue n and First
and Second streets as best adapted to
be selected as e postoffice site, wish to
suggest the block between First and Sec
ond avenue s and First and Second
streets as having advantages over the
block named. 1t would seem to me to be
preferable for the following reasons:
First-It is nearer the present business
center and the banking district Second,
1t is in the direction of the present trend
Of the business cente-uope suitably 10
Gated with reference to the Greater Min
neapoiis of twenty Eve or fifty years
hence. Third, not having the Hennepin
ceptfons being covered with shacks only,
1t can In all probability be obtained at
q lower figure than the block the public
affairs committee are inclined to favor.
Fourth, IL is as near the present Union
station as the block the committee have
in mind, and when new Union station
is built, it win probably be run down to-
ward Second avenue S, which Will be
nearer the block I have defined than the
one, at present recommended Fifth, il
no Union station Is built, the block I
have defined is located between the pres
emit Union depot and the Chicago Mil
waukee & St Paul depot Sixth, eventu-
ally bridge viii DO built across the river
at Third avenue s, and il the postoffice
were located at the site I propose it would
make it convenient for Southeast Mime
apolis by the new bridge as well, as by
the present Central avenue bridge.
In any event, it would seem that this
block should be given SERIOUS considera-
tion before the, report is sent La to the
authorities at Washington. j. M

The canteen.
To the Editor of The journal.

10 the Eattor Of The journal.
In your issue of the Sth the act Of con-
sress In aboiishing the army canteen is
not only severely criticised, but the MEM
oers OF that honorable ibedy are stigma
tized as fools and criminals.
Judging from the choice language these
high army officials use, and the logic
they employ TO reach their conclusions
the average veteran, for whom congress
has done SO much in the way. of liberal
appropriations and providing comfortable
homes. would prefer to- speak for himself
on this subject And I am sure if they
do speak-which I think they. in honor
are bound to dot would be in common
dation of the wisdom, Justice and mag
nanimity of congress, as well as to hurl
back the foul SANDER that the man
hood" Of disabled veterans is taken
away" when beer kegs and demijohns
are removed from soldiers homes.
All this talk about driving ~old men, in
their weakness and frailty out of the
homes into disreputable places at the
Toss Of manhood" and ..self-respect" to
find medicine when sick is top incredible
to find Judgment in human head unless
it be destitute of brains
The logic of these gentlemen is that the
'iswill' which makes s1ow-class'' brutes

SURVIVORS OF THE BIG STORM
Household Goes to Pieces Under
Founding of the Waves.

Key West, Fla.-Survivors from one
of the households of the Florida Coast
railway extension along the keys tell
a narrowing tale of death and de-
struction caused by the storm of
Thursday.
w. p. Dusenberry, civil engineer in
charge of the work on Long Key,
who miraculously escaped death, ar
rived here on the Russian steamer
Jennie, among other survivors res
cued. He says houseboat No. a, on
which were $50 men, was struck by
the storm at five o'clock Thursday
morning, and was driven out into the
gulf through Sawks channel. At six
o'clock the houseboat began to break
up, and as the great waves hit her,
men, singly and il punches of two
and three, were washed into the sea
and drowned Some went below for
protection, but when the top of the
boat was carried away the waves
rushed in and the boat soon went to
pieces, 80 or 40 of the men being
crushed to death in the collapse, the
others grabbing timbers to save them
from drowning.
On one piece of timber 16 men We're
clinging, and nine were hanging to
another. The sides of the houseboat
was crowded with men. 1t turned
over three times, each time reducing
the number.

SEVEN DEAD IN EXPLOSION

Accident in the Rolling Mill Mine of

Johnstown Pa.-By an explosion In
the mine of the Cambria Steel COM
pany here Wednesday seven men are
reported to be dead and two painfully
but not fatally burned
The explosion is thought to have
been caused by the ignition of gas in
setting off blast. Most of the vic
tins are foreigners. The explosion
occurred in heading three miles
from the mouth of the mine shaft.
Eighteen men are reported impris-
Is made of this in an official state
ment given to the press by the man
ager of the Cambria Steel company.
The statement says:
by an explosion in the Rolling Mill
mine of the Cambria Steel company
Wednesday evening seven men are
dead and two are painfully but not
fatally injured. Up to the present
only one of the dead has been identi-
fed. He is an American born miner
named Sampson Luther. 1t is believ-
ed the other dead are all foreigners,
as are the two injured. The wounds
of the latter consist of burns on the
face, back, and arms, lacerated
wounds of the scalp and other parts
of the body.
THE explosion took place in head
ing No. 29, a considerable distance
from the Inflated Klondike section,
where ia men lost their lives over
four years ago. The exact cause is
not known, but it is supposed that
the gas was fired by the putting off
of blast. All the men when found
had their safety lamps in proper trim,
showing that the accident could not
have been caused by neglect in that
direction. No damage whatever was
done to the workings, and the mine

URGES UNION OF FARMERS
ORGANIZATION PUT FORWARD
AS PROPER PLAN.
When Prices of Products Go Up They
Tend to Make Aericulturists
Stick Together.

East st. Louis, III. = The fea-
ture of the days session of the
first annual convention of the Ameri-
can Society of Equity, which is com
posed of farmers was the address of
M. f. Sharp, of Narrows, Ky. He
strongly urged the farmers to perfect
an organization.
The trusts and combines, which
are the agencies of the Internal re-
gions, call us jays, hayseeds, rubes
and mossbacks, and say that even if
we do organize we won't stick" he
said.
Il tell you that when organization
raises the price of products it is the
best sticking plaster in the world. |
know the farmers will stick Equity
means fair deal. All manufacturing
industries fix the price of their prod
ucts and know what price they are
going to get for them The farmer,
the backbone of the nation and the
worlds greatest producer, has been
going on the theory that he will take
whatever he can get for his products.
Equity intends that the farmer shall
take his place with the worlds pro-
ducers and fix profitable price for
his products. That can only be done
by plan of marketing products to
control and regulate the market
prices"
Wednesdays session was devoted
principally to addresses along the
line of forming an agriculturists' or
ganization to fix and maintain prices
on farm products.
