POSTOFFICE SALARIES
MIR. Hitchcock Says Changes in Wages
Will Extend to the Entire System.

Washington, d. c., Oct. 16.-An-
nouncement was made last night af-
ter conference of First Assistant
Postmaster General Hitchcock and
Postmaster Wilcox, that in the postal
estimates for next year a radical
change had been made in the recon-
mendations affecting salaries Of all
postal employees.
The betterments in salaries will in
clude the entire postal system of the
United States. Mr.. Hitchcock said the
postoffice department had recognized
the necessity for change and fully
appreciated that the cost of living the
last few years made it difficult for en-
ployes to live even comfortably upon
salaries graded and fixed a score of
years ago, when the actual cost of
existence was not one-half that of to-
day.
The credit for obtaining the change
is due to the efforts of Postmaster
Wilcox.

SOISNhy F'SSt eS~e
Canton, o., Oct. H.
Buried under tons of sand, falling
suddenly upon them, three children
met their death yesterday afternoon.
After having been buried for approx.
mateIy three hours, their bodies were
unearthed after long search by fren-
zied parents and sympathizine neigh
bors.
Casper Donald and Ellen Sylvia Err
tel, children of Mr.. and Mrs. Leonard
ErteI, of No. 7o2 Prospect avenue, and
Dorothy Rice, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Marshall z. Rice, of No. 631 Pros
pect avenue, were killed sometime be-
tween and o'clock yesterday by the
caving in of a 15-foot sand bank near
Ohio street, between Prospect and
Camden avenues.
At about 3 o'clock the three chill
dren, one of whom lives within a block
of the other two, were playing togeth-
er in the Ertel yard. Soon they tired
of the surroundings and wandered to-
wards the sand bank, probably two
blocks away, Nobody saw them go
and at about $3.50 or 4 o'clock Mrs.
Ertel called to them, but they were
nowhere to be found
Nothing was seen of them for the
next half hour and soon the members
of both families commenced to grow
anxious. Search was instituted but no
trace of the missing children could
be discovered Soon party of almost
so sympathizing neighbors was
securing the surrounding territory.
The vacant lots in the vicinity of the
Whiting Pump companys plant, the
creek nearby and every conceivable
place was visited, but the children
could not be located.
During the search, John c. Conroy,
of No. 709 Prospect avenue and Har-
ry H. Hartline, of No. 1176 Henry ave-
nue., noticed that cavern had occur
red at the sand bank cn Ohio street,
owned by Winfield F. Hartline, of No.
1176 Henry avenue. Since the miss
ing children could not be found any,
where i'm the vicinity it was surmised
that they had been playing under the
sand bank and had been buried when
it caved in. This supposition was
found to be correct, for after J. I.
Blackburn Of No. 719 Springfield ave-
nue., Harry Hartline and John Conroy
had dug into the fallen sand about
four feet, three little bodies were
found lying size by side. The two
Ertel children were found lying on
their backs and the Rice child face
downward. All the bodies were badly
bruised. Work ON the sand bank was
begun at about Z o'clock and 1t Is
believed that the children had been
buried almost three hours as life was
extinct in all.
There are no houses in the vicinity
from which view of the sand bank
can be obtained Thus, there were
no witnesses to the catastrophe
Winfield Hartline, owner of the sand
bank, stated last night that there had
been no work at the bank since II
o'clock yesterday morning. At that
time the last wagon left it and none
of his employees were near it during |
the afternoon. The bank is propably
10 feet high, and it is estimated that !
three or four wagon loads of sand |
caved in.
The news of the catastrophe circu- |
lated like wild fire and the scene of |
the disaster was visited by many sor-
rowing friends.
No arrangements for the funeral of |
the three children have been made by
either family.

The station at such an altitude that
one could live there regularly Once a Neek
scientist went up from lower level to take oh.
servatlOns and the records of the instruments.
No 60 to the summit unassisted
that mules used in the climb. Professor
Bailey had a mule that ascended to the top Of
the mountain at least fifty times, and he was
proud of. her work in the interest of science.
Once priests from Arequipa ascended the
mountain and blessed the scientific station al
the top.
1t was no easy matter. even with the aid
of mules, for these churchmen to reach the
summit with full set of vestments and all the
requisites for the service.
As it was, the candles had to be inclosed
In glass screens for protection from the fercely
sweeping winds of that altitude. and the holy
water was taken up - bottles.
This was the second church service ever'
held on FL Msti a hun1red years ago, when
Arequipa was suffering from Il plague the
priests promised that if tie plague abated q
cross would be erected on the mountain
This promise was fulfilled, and now a heavy
cross stands out upon the summit although in
visible from the heights below to which tourists
usually ascend
So, all over the world. men who are devot-
ing themselves to the work of scientific discOv-
cry are submitting to hardships, enduring dan
gers and risking their lives
And there are plenty of volunteers willing
and anxious to press onward the work Of en-
lightenment, no matter at what cost OF sacrifice

1t is perilous position, too Suppose a
great snowslide should block in winter the sin

Or should spring summer freshets in their
mad downpour cut those narrow, tortuous paths
from the sides of the mountain to which they
cling. leaving trace for descent to safety or
for the ascent of relieving expeditions.
AT any time the observer this mountain
height might be cut off from help, from the'werld

The only equal, perhaps, can be found in
the life of the of ightship, anchored far
off the coast.
Yet the Eghtship crew has advantages over
the mountain-top crew. The former may fish in
good weather, may sail upon the surrounding
waters and the monotony of existence is broken
at times by the sight of passing ships.
The scientist on mountain top cannot
fish: he sees no nassin0 shins and 1T isn't often.
