Oil Famine on NehaIem.

Nehaiem-The good people of Neha-
lem are going to bed with the chickens
now, for the simple reason that there
is nothing else for them to do. Gaso-
line, kerosene and other Illuminating
oils are not to be had, and such make
shifts as can be found are dscouraging
to any literary effort in the long winter
evenings, supposed generally to be de-
voted to mental improvement or social
relaxation. The reason for it all is
that no boat has come into Nehalem
bay for four months, and it is on water
transportation that Nehalem depends.

MINE DISASTER
SHOCKS FRANCE
Nearly I.20O Men Meet Death in
Gas Explosion.
Fire Follows and Cuts OFF Miners
From Rescue - Gas Pours Into
Passages. Hampering Relief Work
Whole Nation in Mourning-Gov-
ernment Troops Aid.

Paris, March IA mine cataetro-
phe of incalculable horror and magni-
tude has stricken the great coal center
OF Northern France. An explosion of
fire damp at o'clock Saturday morn
ing carried death and destruction
throughout the network of coal mines
centered at Courrieres, and fire follow
ed the explosion, making rescue diff
cult and almost impossible.
All France has been profoundly
shocked by the magnitude of the dis
aster, which is said to be the greatest
in the history of continental mining.
President Falleres sent his secretary,
accompanied by Minister of Public
Works Gautier and Minister of the In
terror Dubief, on special train to the
scene OF the disaster. The ministerial
crisis was temporarily forgotten, senat-
ors and deputies joining in the univer-
sal public manifestations of sorrow.
The scene of the catastrophe is the
mountainous mining region near Lens.
in the department of Pas de Calais.
Here are huddled small hamlets of the
mineworkers who-operate the most pro.
ductive coal mines il, France. The
subterranean chambers form a series Of
Af hn
Lens, and others arc at Courrieres.
Verdun and other points.
The output of these mines is partc-
ularly combustible, and is largely used
in the manufacture of gas and in emet-
ing. About 1000 miners work in the.
group of mines, and with their families
make population OF from 5000 to g.
600 souls.
The explosion took place shortly
after l,795 men had descended into the
mine Saturday morning. There was a
deatening explosion, which was follow
ed by the cages and mining apparatus
being hurled from the mouth of the
Courrieres mine. Men and horses near
by outside the mine were either
stunned or killed. The roof of the
nine Office was blown off.
Immediately after the explosion
lanes burst from the mouth OF the pit.
Irving hack those who sought to enter,
md booming thoee within.
The work of attempting to rescue the
imprisoned miners was hastily begun
~ officials, engineers and miners from
he surrounding mines, who formed
'arties and made heroic efforts to psne-
rate the smoke and foul gasee and
ring out the imprisoned men.
The families OF the entombed miners
rowded about the shaft seeking fathers
hushands, and threaten ing, in their
fforts to- obtain details, to force back
ne gendarmes who kept them from the
,outh of the pit. The populace of the
istrict is appalled, by the disaster,
hich affects every household. Those
ersons who were rescued we.e terribly
urned.
The latest estimates place those who
ere taken out at SOL. The worst fears
ave been realized and it is now cer-
lin that those entombed, numbering
1913, are dead. 1t is also almost GER
in that but few bodies will be recov-
ed, as the fierce flames have entirely
