COMMUNICATED.

| Editor Nugget: The statement
 made in your paper of June 12 con-
 corning the closing of the doors in the
 water tight bulk head was entirely
 wrong. They were not closed by Mir. | Frank Mills, nor did he have anything
 to do with it. However, MT. Mills and
 his longshoremen gave excellent ser 1 vices in rigging and placing the sails | over the bow in an endeavor to stop the in-rush of water.
 The forward bulkhead spoken of in
 your paper was closed by Mir. w. F. Hillman, first officer, assisted by D. | Greig, who stood in water up to their waists and hauled net sling and | other ropes out of the doorway, so it could be closed and fastened properly.
 MT. Tucker. third officer, closed the second bulkhead doors, while MT. Ray
 mond, first engineer, and Mr. McInnes. | first assistant engineer, closed the | doors forward of the engine room. 'Tis doors saved the ship, and probably several lives, but the credit is not due
 to the ex-chief officer of the ship, but to the present one, Mir. w. P. IIillman, all doors being closed by order of the captain.
 I trust you will publish this correc- | tion. GEO. w. BROWN

Most of them are for the large ditch com panies which have planned such ex- tensive work in the north for this sea- son. The first crowd were for c. l..

 Over one hundred and fifty men took their meals here yesterday, and about half that number today. A great many more are expected, not only for the ditch work, but also for the regular mining in the district.

An Excited PRECEDENT.
lNeM Work World.)

Mr.. Roosevelt is a very angry and
excited man. Angry and excited men
are not given to sensible or rational
speech.
The White House story of rich
mems conspiracy" capitalized at So
100000, to control the next republican
national convention, is so hysterical
that it would be laughed at if anybody
but the president of the United States
was responsible for 1t. Plainly, things
are getting on Mr.. Roosevelt's nerves.
Senator Penrose emphatically denies
that he is 'sthe big man of great polit-
zeal influence" who got drunk at a
Washington dinner and babbled about
the plot to renominate reactionary
candidate for president The Penrose
denial is superfluous. II such con-
spiracy exists it is certain that the
principals have not taken the Penn
sylvania senator into their confidence.
He would simply get his instructions
from the Pennsylvania railroad offices
as usual, and he is too we'll disciplined
to ask questions. His not to- reason
why.
But aside from any silly season
stories that may be put out from the
White House, there is not one man in
ten, we think, who does not believe
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1907-04-15

that the great railroad and financial
interests of the country are going to
bend all their energies to control the
republican convention and prevent the
nomination OF a Roosevelt candidate
The president has been indicted, tried
and found guilty of treason to Wall
street, and neither money nor effort
will be spared to Wlest the party from,
mis- control. The word has been passed
down the line that his radical policies
are, injuring the business interests of
the country and there must be a re-
turn to the safe and conservative prac :
tees of Hannaism.
All this may seem formidable enough
on paper, but we can assure MIR. Roose-
welt that there is not the slightest Oc :
casion for his losing a minutes sleep
over it, If he keeps cool and does not
make himself ridiculous there is not
enough money in Wall street to buy the
national convention away from him
or bring about the nomination of a
candidate to whom he is opposed.
Mr.. Roosevelt has only to appeal to
the intelligence and conscience of the
American people and on the issue of
corporation domination Is per cent of
them will rally to his support. He not
only has a majority of his own party
behind him. but hundreds of thousands
Of democrats as we'll are ready to fight
for him and with him on that issue.
Our friendly advice to the president
is to calm down and not bother his
head about cock-and- bull stories Of
Wall street conspiracies. Let Wall
street conspire il it wants to. The only
thing Mr. Roosevelt need worry aboIlt
is whether or not he will accept a re-
nomination himself.

Nc, More Dollars for Dimes.

When a man has to shovel a dollar
bill into the furnace every time he
wants dimes worth of powder, he
may be pardoned for harboring germ
or two of discomfort with the present
stage of Industrial evolution" says
Charles Frederick Carter, writing in
The Technical World Magazine for
May. Yet a modern steam power
plant will only deliver at the crank
shaft from ten to twelve per cent of
the potential energy contained in the
coal burned under it's boilers. If it is
small plant the results are likely
to be the former figure Or less; if it
is a very large plant, conducted with
unusual skill, the latter may be APP
proximated. ,Corliss and auadruple ex-
panson engines, feed water heaters
and kindred accessories, and finally the
steam turbine have resulted from en-
deavors to reduce this excessive waste
of heat. Altogether they have only
served to accentuate the necessity of
finding something more efficient than
steam to perform the functions of the
worlds prime mover.
Recent developments would seem
TO indicate that a clue TO this much
needed improvement has been discoN-
cred At least it looks suspicious ITO

THE BIENNIAL GRowL.

(BelIe Flalue tOH1OH)
What pity some of the newspa-
pers of Iowa are not the lawmakers If
it We're not tiresome it would be funny
to see the way they fuss at the legis-
lature from the time it meets until
after it has adjourned. Those who take
the trouble to notice have observed
the biennial snarl of criticism with
which the adjournment of the general
assembly is greeted.
Newspapers of the minority parties
are expected to take a smash" at the
majority every time they get chance,
tho nobody ever saw amy good of it:
but when the editors of the dominant
party begin to nag their representa-
tives for advocating and voting for en-
acting into laws the very policies they
stood for previous to election, it makes
one Wonder that some papers have any
influence at all.
With some possible minor excep
lions. we think that every law passed
by the legislature was intended for
the public good in some particular.
1t is therefore .up to" all of US to give
such laws a fair trial, and il they are
found faulty or obnoxious to q ma
jority, 1t is only a short two years I'M
til they can be repealed.
AS to the timeliness of reform leg
iislation, it is we'll known that such
measures are in line with those intro
duced and passed in the legislatures
of many of the neighboring states, and
if our lawmakers have made mistakes
along these lines. they have the salts
faction of knowing that they have
much distinguished company in more
than one state, and even in the ma
tional congress.

The ST. PauI's Pacific Extension.

Y Z
When the Union Pacific railroad was
completed with government assistance
ii was almost universally held that the
enterprise would not be duplicated
within the memory of living men.
The barrenness OF the country be-
tween the Mississippi river and the Pa
cifie coast, it was said, was a barrier
to further railroad building. The con-
quest of the Rocky Mountains sec
ord time was declared to be all but
impossible. There was no other pass
thru which another road could cross
the mountains.
Today there are six transcontin entail
lines. Three years hence - perhaps
wen sooner - there will be seven. The
Pacific extension of the Chicago, MI
waukee & ST. Paul railway will be
the new link of steel to bind the west-
Is I'm coast of the country to the larsas
on the hither side Of the Missouri
The enterprise is already assured sf
successful completion.
The lands which were pronoun:ed
barren forty years ago have blossoned
as the rose. The passes of the mount
aims have been found. Turnout the en-
tire route of the st. Paul extension d
rich and developed country awaits tae
advent of the locomotive. Engineering
difficulties have been met and over
come. The road is certain to be ON a
paying basis from the first.
The enterprise means much for the
Pacific coast, more for the Puget
sound region and most for Chicago A
e.ilect line to the northwest will I'M
|Goubtedly develop trade not only with
the Pacific coast, but with the orient.
The assurance is confirmed by the
known energy, activity and progres-
siveness of the st. Paul management,
which will undoubtedly carry to the
Pacific coast the policy Of enlighte ne.
enterprise which has placed it among
tie first of Americas great railroad
systems.
