HANDIcAps REBUILDING

At Levi Strauss & Co.'s the members
of the firm were equally outspoken in
their condemnation of the. act of the
railroad in going back to the slow SER
vice. They said: Not only will day
be lost, but the hour which the New
York mail will now leave is most un-
fortunate. Mail that Is ready to go
will have to wait until the following
morning at II before it starts East"
At the Pacific Hardware and Steel
Company 1t was said that the result
would be that many firms would be
forced to send the bulk of their orders
by telegraph. at an increased cost.
Allan Pollok Of the Thompson-Star-
rett Company said: This loss OF a
days time in the New York mail is
a very serious thing. 1t will be felt
in all the building and reconstruction
work going on in this city. We have
plans and specifications going back
and forth every day, and the aggre-
gate delay which will result from this
change will be serious. OF course, we
use the telegraph a great deal. but
there are many things for which we
cannot use the wire The prompt ad :
vance of the reconstruction work de-
mands that we be in very close touch
with New York.

RAILROAD ACTIVITY.

Last week our scissors editor
cut some fifty inches of clippings
regarding railroad construction or
surveys. from ust one weeks ex-
changes. but we could not make
use of them. They were all about
new railroads up or across the
Missouri river in South Dakota.
He did not find quite SO much to
clip in this weeks exchanges.

inst. contained the following:
"A Northwestern surveyor was
in lan'lton between trains ami

Elk City mining news. (Elk City, Idaho) 1903-1913, 1906-06-23

The rapidity with which Main street
in Elk City dries up after rain Illus
trates the secret of road making and of
road repairing, to-wit: providing drain
age. When by long use wagons with
heavy loads gouge depressions in the
road so the water stands, there is sure
to be mud hole, and the drainage is
not repaired by filing the hole with
dirt; some means needs to be provided
for draining off the water. The real
secret in making and repairing roads is
in making it impossible for puddles to
form.

CONTROL OF STEERACE
PASSENGERS LOST
They Become Panic-Stricken In Heavy
Storms, and Revolvers and Knives
Are Required to Restore Order

New York, March 13.-A terrifying ex-
perence at sea was reported by the Off
GERS of the French line steamship Hud-
son which arrived here today. During a
storm which swept the Atlantic Friday
afternoon and evening the 1856 Storage
passengers on the steamer became panic
stricken and were quieted only after the
captain and first officer had threatend
them with revolver and knife. 10th the
barometer and thermometer fell rapidly
and a terrific gale rolled up great seas.
When the storm was at its worst the
Storage passengers became panic stricken
and sought to go ON deck insisting that
if they must die they wanted to meet
death in the open. The stewards and mi
nor officers lost control Of the passengers
and appealed to the captain for assist
ance. Captain Juham and First Officer
Mehauses who were on the bridge hur-
red to the Storage quarters and at
tempted to pacify the terrorized passen-
gers. First they assured them that there
was no danger, then threatened them
and finally drew revolvers and knives
and threatened to use them. Order finally
was restored. Soon afterward the storm
abated.
Captain Julian said that while the
storm lasted it was the most severe he
ever saw in his thirty years experience
at sea.
