same proportion prevails in almost
every other country. The only excep'
ton is in Paraguay, where there are
more than twice as many women al

Caught by ~Sn0wslides.

SILvERTON, Colo, Jan. 23.-Five
Italian miners employed at the Sunny
side mine lost their lives in an i'm
mems snowslide late yesterday after
noon. The mine blacksmith shop and
several tram cars were swept away.
There are eleven slides between Sill.
verton and Elk park. The slides
average from seven to thirty feet deep
and from SO to $50 feet wide. One i'm.
mense slide went into the Animas river
forming a dam OF snow and ice which
caused the stream to back up and
overflow the Rio Grande tracks to a
depth of four feet. It will be two
weeks before traffic can be resumed
between Silverton and Durango. The
Iowa mill in Arastra gulch has been
crushed in by heavy snowslides which
came down Little Giant mountain.

May Repeal Timber Act.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The senate
committee on public lands today COM
mitted itself to support three impor.
tant measures concerning the public
domain. The first is the repeal OF the
timber and stone act, the second to
authorize the secretary of the interior
to sell the right to cut matured tim
Der on public lands of more value for
timber than agriculture, and the third
to authorize the sale OF lands which
have their greatest value in their
marble and stone deposits. A bill
incorporating these questions will be
adoted by the committee, probably
through the amendment OF the Hans
brough bill for the repeal OF the tim
Der and stone act.

EdlsOn's Little Joke.

In his quiet way Thomas A.
Edison is a joker. Not long ago a
magazine editor friend of his was
looking over the inventors laboratory
when a curious looking model caught
his eye. 1t looked like a cradle with
some kind of a telephone attachment.
"What on earth is that?' inquired
the visitor. ~ hope to make my

Agree On Rate Bill.

WASHINGTON, Jan. q. After o
conference lasting all the afternoon
the house committee on interstate and
foreign commerce today agreed upon
a rate bill to be known az the Hepburn
bill, and be reported to the house with
the unanimous recommend alton of the
IS members of the committee. In the
main the bill Is the original Hepburn
bill, but a number of concessions we're
made to the democratic, and their ideas
as set forth in the Davie billa were
freely incorporated in the perfected
measure. Chairman Hepburn was
congratulated by all the members of
his committee on the drafting of q bill
upon which the two parties could
agree, and the members of the com.
mittee assert confidence that the sue
cessful outcome of their long confer
ence will have marked effect upon the
attitude of the senate toward the meas.
ure.
MIR. Hepburn and the other republi.
cans agreed to accept the wording OF
the democratic bill in the provision
for the fixing of the maximum rate.
The amendment which was accepted
provides that the commission shall fix
q 'just, reasonable and fairly re
m~unerative rate, which shall be the
maximum rate
1t was maintained by the democrats
that under the original Hepburn word
ing the commission was required tc
fix the highest of the ''just, reasonable
and fairly r~emunerative rates" in cast
there were several such rates. Chair
man Hepburn and the republicans dc
not believe there is any difference il
the two workings, but were perfectly
willing to accept the language of thu
Davie bill. The amended bill also
provides for seven members of the in
terstate commerce commission instead
Of nine, as was provided in the origi
nal Hepburn bill.

Two Admit Two New states.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Congress-

the house committee on territories, to.
day submitted a bill, called the Ham.
ilton joint statehood bill, which pro-
vides for the admission of Oklahoma
and Indian Territory as the state OF
Oklahoma, and provides joint state
hood for New Mexico and Arizona
under the name of Arizona.
The report views the bill in detail,
explaining that the capital of Arizona
is to be at Santa Fee until 1915, and
that the capital Of Oklahoma is to be
