their summer suspensions and it i
now at the high S3-mark.
'Ope reason offered for the dull
ness in the coal trade during the
summer was overproduction, and it
must be conceded that the large
number Of new mines opened in the
last few years in this state offer a
good basis for that theory. But
over production, as a danger, has
been lost sight Of entirely now in the
demand for cars, which exceeds the
ability and equipment Of the rail-
roads to supply.
'.The activity displayed in the
leasing and selling of coal lands,
which has been marked for four or
five wears, continues and much OF it
is grounded on faith in the future.
and is therefore speculative, but the
prices paid show that in the judg-
ment Of far-seeing capitalists coal is
never going to recede and must re-
main the worlds chief fuel. The car
problem enters into this sphere,
however. for it is undeniable that
there would have been more new
operations opened had there had
been assurances of sufficient car sup
ply. Thus the car shortage is a
blessing to that extent in which it
mmimizes overproduction, if the
dissatisfied operators care to take
that e9nsolatory reflection.

AT
BRADLEY HOUSE
CAUSED BY BOMB
Thought at the time to Have been
Caused by a Leak in a
Gas Pipe
Harry Orchard in His Confession
Says it Was a Bomb Meant to
Kill MIR. Bradley

Boise, Idaho, March. IA report
that the confession of Harry Orchard
con tains a statement of an attempt to
blow up the bouse of I. W. Bradley,
president of the Bunker Hall and
Sullivan Mining company, whose pro-
perty is at Gardner, in the Coeur
d Alenes, arouses great interest. Mr..
Bradley was formerly manager of this
property and is now president making
his home in San Francisco had left
thed ircet management before the riots.
1t appears that six or seven months
ago an explosion occurred at his house
in which he and one or more others
were somewhat injured. 1t is stated
that Mr.. Bradley started for the door
to 3answer ring at the bell. As he
reached the door he strcck match
and an explosion followed. He and
others sued the gas company for dam
ages on tn e Theory that the explosion
was caused by leak. They recover
ed judgement and the case is now pend
ing on appeal.
1t is difficult to surmise what Orch
ard may have said about this affair in
his confesson, but there is much rea-
SOD to believe that he claimed the ex-
plosinn was of bomb intended to kill
Nj. Bradley. SO far as it can be
learned it is represented that some
kind of bomb WAS placed outside
the door and it exploded as tn door
started open in response to Mr.. Brad
leyz's pull. Whether Mr.. Bradley
smelled gas and therefore assumed it
was gas explosion is not known, but
there seems doubt that Orchard has
made some statement to the effect that
the explosion was the work of an as
sassin detailed to take Bradley's life.

RAILROAD RATE
BILL IS sure
To Be PASSED
Opponents Admit That Hepburn Bill
Will be Passed With Almost
No Changes
Only Hope Left to Railroad Men
in the Measure is in the
Democrats

Washington, March 1.-That the
railroad rate bill will be passed by the
senate practically as it came from the
house is an admission that the oppon-
ents of the measure are almost ready
to make. 1t was admitted today that
they can not hope to get any assist
ance from the president in getting an
amendment for judicial review of or
ders of the interstate commerce com
mission. The president made this
today. The only hope left to the op-
ponents of the measure is the demo-
Gratis. They have not definitely deter
mined what the party position is to-
ward such an amendment. but it is
admitted that more than half of the
minority favor passing the bill exactly
as it came flom the mouse.
The railroad rate bill for several
days has been regarded as the one mea-
sure standing in the way of an early
adjournment of congress. One of the
leading republican senators, member
of the steering committee, declared
today that "the Philippine tariff bill,
the statehood bill and the Santo Dom
lingo treaty are all dead"
He qualified his statement concern
ing the statehood bill by saying that
he meant the friends of the bill could
not pass it without the Foraker amend
ment pTovising for submission to .vot
ers of the people of New Mexico and
Arizona separately, the question
whether they should have joint state
hood.
