PROOF
WAIT FOR PAY
Government to Give Claimants 80
Days to Get Cash

The financial conditions have
caught many citizens who had made
timber and stone filings. without
money to make final proof inasmuch
as their money is on deposit at some
bank and Uncle Sam will not accept
bank checks.
Many citizens knowing the demand
of the government, have failed to
offer final proof. But to avoid any
injustice to the honest claim
ant, Register r. N. Dunn sent
the following telegram Monday to
General Land Commissioner Balling-
err at Washington, d. c.: Some APP
plicants under timber and stone act
have their money in the bank,
but are unable to get cash.
May proof in such cases be accepted
and final entry allowed later when
money can be had?"
This morning Mr.. Dunn received
the following reply granting the re-
quest:
Receive and suspend proofs for
thirty days so claimants can make
payments in cash.
"BALLINGER."
This shows the spirit of fairness
the government extends toward the
honest claimant.

MOVING WHEAT CROP
Plan for Early Payment and Quick
Shipment.

SPOKANE. Wash, Nov. 90
Bankers, exporters and wheat grow
ers in the Northwest have formed
plans which assure the financing OF
the grain crop Of the Spokane coun-
try, and as a result more than $780,
100000 worth of wheat will flow to
Puget Sound and Pacific coast points
for shipment to Europe. Africa and
Asia. Shipments from the Inland
Empire to tidewater will begin at
once and cease only when all wheat
has been drained from the fields and
warehouses in eastern Washington,
northern Idaho and northeastern Ore
gon. Advices have been received by
bankers in Spokane and in the Pa
louise and Big Bend wheat belts that
vessels are in readiness at Puget
Sound and Columbia river points to
receive the grain as rapidly as 1t can
be unloaded from the cars. The plan
of financing the grain movement is
based entirely on the willingness of
the exporters to pay for the wheat
more promptly than they are accus-
toned to under ordinary circum-
stances. A large part Of the move
ment will be financed by credits and
the shortening of the period for
which these credits must be carried
by the local banks, enables them to
handle a much greater proportion OF
the business than they would other
wise be able to do under existing
conditions.

Cripple Creek, has announced his
willingness to meet the winner of to-
nights twenty round bout between
Owen Moran, the English boxer and
frankie Neil, the California feather

tie have been made by several west

pected that the mill will be pulled of
during the second week of next
month. Jimmy Griffith of the Colma

have the best chances of leading the
fight. Moran and Neil will weigh

across the pond state that the Brit
ishers really believe that Burns is
scheduled to lose his laurel wreath
to the Gunner" basing their opin-
ion on Moir's defeat of Jack Palmer.
What Burns could do to Palmer in the
course of two three rounds would
probably lead to charge of murder
and Burns, at that, is not a wonder.
If the dope is to be depended upon,
Moir will not last five rounds with
Burns.
The stakes for this international
contest will be $4,000 a side, and the
club is offering $1,000 additional.
This isn't so much, according to
American standards, but the British
ers seem to think it something extra
ordinary, ye know. That a Yankee
heavyweight champion" should
consider it worth his while to travel
to England for such purse is some
what amazing. but not so much so
when it is remembered that it en-
ables Burns to escape the unwelcome
attentions of Lii Arthur" Johnson.
If the press reports are to be be-
lieyed, all sporting England is "agog"
over the impending battle, and it is
arousing much interest as the Peter
Jackson-Frank Slavin fight did some
years ago The sporting editors of
the London papers think Moir is all
the candy, and, blast i'm, they can't
see where Burns has a show. New
York sporting men who are familiar
with the qualities of both Burns and
Moir look upon the battle as con-
test between a second-rate American
and third-rate Englishman, and are
unable to figure out where the latter
has a lockin.

FOUR KILLED
BY EXPLOSION
The Same Old Story of Thawing
Dynamite

SPOKANE Wash, Nov. 20.-Four
men were killed and three injured in
an explosion in construction camp
on the Portland & Seattle railroad,
IL miles south of Cheney, yesterday
while thawing dynamite for blast
ing. The dead and injured were
brought to Spokane last night, the
manned bodies being removed to the
morgue, while two of the injured
men were taken to the hospital.
The men were hand-drilling in the
rock preparatory to blasting, and
found that their powder was too chill
led to use effectively. AS is usual in
such cases they built fire to thaw
the dynamite and placed so pounds
of the explosive near it on a piece of
tin. They were working with their
drills rs feet from the fire, when one
of them noticed that the dynamite
was catching fire. Calling to three
other men, he ran toward the fire
to take the dynamite out of range of
the flames.
Charles Pascuzzi, the foreman, see
ing their danger, started TOWARD the
blaze, calling to the men to let the
powder alone and get away from
it. He had approached within so
feet of the fire when the dynamite
exploded, hurting them to the
ground and killing them instantly.
One of the bodies was so mutilaed
that it was brought to Spokane in a
cracker box.
Lingo Ferrar, Vito Esperto, Frank
Cariono and Geddo Gotto were killed
G. Civo was badly cut about the head
and shoulders by flying rock and John
Bornese was thrown to the ground
and stunned by the shock of the ex-
plosion.
Joseph Plastino, one of the con-
tractors, accompanied the injured
men to Spokane. In telling of the
accident he said when the dyna-
mite is frozen the men always put ii
over a fire to thaw it out. When it
catches fire it blazes up like Roman
candle. The men had gone back to
their work when they saw the dyna-
mite blazing and ran over to the nre
to put it out. They can usually dc
SO by pulling it away from the fire
and smothering the blazing portion
of it. The foreman of the gang saw
that the men could not get there in
time to save the dynamite and start
ed toward them to tell them to gel
away from it. He yelled at then
and just then the explosion occurred

RAILWAY MEN MEET
Car Service and Interchange Of Equip
ment Discussed.

Chicago. Nov. 20.--All the lead
ing railroads of the United States are
represented at conference which
is being held here today. Car ser
vice and efficiency are the principal
subject under discussion, one of the
most important matters to be settled
being the interchange Of freight
equipment between railroads. The
railroad officials say that much of the
car shortage is due to the fact that
they are unable to keep their cars on
their own roads. Twenty-Five rail-
roads have agreed to abide by any
rules adopted by the conference for a
period OF six months. Efforts are be-
ing made to bring all the members
of the American Railway association
into the agreement, The roads that
have consented so far to the agree
ment are mostly western lines.

Travellers returning from England

The other English popularity is a
preference for riding backward on
trains. The Englishman will make for
the seat with it's back to the engine
every time, plant himself down in it
with every evidence of comfort and
look wonderingly at anybody who
picks out a seat facing the direction
the train is going. Not once did one
American travelling in England see a
native choose seat facing the front
of the train unless there were no
other seats.
