did not, and some amendments to
the franchise were put on their first
reading and passed. and the ordin-
ance proper laid aside for the
present.
1t seems to be the opinion in this
city, as we'll as the other burgs up
and down the proposed line of the
new railroad. that the promoters of
the new line got in crooked on
the start. and need to be straight
ened out. The amendments make
the franchise look little better TO
the city officials than formerly. but
the granting of the franchise to
Mr.. Alnutt individually. as the or
dinance reads. does not look good to
the Swink fathers. any more than it
does to other city dads who are
wrestling with the question. The
people of Swink would like to have
the road. but say they are not look
ing through green glasses. and be-
fore they jump would like to have
some idea of where they will land.
II looks to us like it would be good
idea to reframe the ordinance and
put in several clauses that seem to
be lacking. and start all over and
get in straight" OF course it will
take time. and the promoters seem
to be shy on time. for reasons best
known to themselves, but we have
got along without the luxury of
street cars for some years and guess
nobody would die if they did not
have the pleasure of "scooting up
to Rocky Ford and bach before re-
tiring these warm nights" at SO
much per "scoot." The road would
be very nice we admit. but it does
not take great deal Of money to
build imaginary lines. after you get
the franchise. but they make mighty
poor riding.

in the city. and especially the pres

Personally, do not care rap for
the illustrious EDITORS opinion on a
matter of which he is wholly incom-
petent to judge. | wish to state.
however, that he has never asked
the health officer question regard
ing what has been done, and evil
IDENTIFY is either entirely ignorant or
willfully malicious in the matter. II
he took the trouble to visit the Of
flee he would find that the health
officer occasionally does a little busi-
ness in his official capacity. and that
every measure for the betterment
of the health Of the city was either
suggested by him or submitted to
him for approval before being Or
dered by the board of health.
His insinuation that the physi-
clans of the city are satisfied with
the present unfortunate conditions
could only have been uttered by a
man Of his type. and We consider it
entirely beneath notice.
A knocker is the smallest Of small

Miss Muilan and her sisters, who
had been prominent socially here,
were thrown on their own. resources
several years ago and opened laun-
dry for dainty work in the most FASH
ionable section of the city, just few
doors from the home which had been
the scene Of their social functions.
They maintained the establishment
and their social position with equal
success and the laundry, is today d
flourishing institution.
1t was under peculiar circumstances
that Miss Mullan and Mr.. Lukens first
met. There was a claim by the Null
Ian family against the state. of Cali
fornia. Lawyers engaged by the
Mullans permitted the case to drag
so long that Miss Emma Mullan, the
bride of today, went out to California
to attend to the matter herself She
took the case out of the lawyers
hands, acted as. her own attorney
and fought the case against Mr.. Lu-
kens, who was arrayed on the side of
the state. Miss Mullan won and
when she returned to her Eastern
home she not only carried snug
$4,000, but also the heart of the op-

Jabor scorce ON the sound

Despite the fact that nearly 5000
men have been thrown out of en-
ployment by the recent closing of the
logging camps in the country between
Tacoma and Grays Harbor there is
still scarcity of men in the labor
market, which is aggravated by rest
lessness on the part of common la
Dor, according to local employment
agencies, says the Seattle News. The
opening of the Nome season tended
to offset the number of men thrown
out of employment in the logging
camps and the beginning of the sum-
mer railroad construction work fur
ther depleted the market of common
labor. Agents find 1t one of their
hardest tasks to furnish men for the
great amount of construction work
being dGne in the city. The major
ity of laborers at this time Of the
year prefer to work in the woods or
out of town during the summer. In
the winter they prefer the city.

DID THE EARTHQUAKE DO TT?
Sisldyou Chasm of Quite Recent For
nation.

e. A. Hendricks, resident Of Ash
land, while cruising recently in the
Siskiyou not far from the state line
and some fifteen miles southeast of
Ashland, in the Pilot Rock region,
came across a chasm some four feet
across the top and at some points as
deep as four feet, which he followed
along the apex of a ridge leading off
the main Siskiyou divide for a dis
tance Of fully half a mile, says the
Ashland Tribune.
Along the break trees had been
split down and the coloring of the
wood indicated that the trees, which
were numerous along either side of
the rent in the earth, had been brok-
en- down by comparatively recent dis
turbance for 1t had not taken on the
color Of age yet. Mr.. Hendricks
was greatly perplexed at the phe-
nomenon and 1t was not until after he
had left the place that 1t occurred
to him 1t was a mark of the earth
quake which damaged San Francisco
so disastrously in April a year ago.

LAUNDREss WEDS SENATOR.
Miss Emma V. Mullan Becomes Wife
of California Legislator.

Invitations have been received in
Salem for the wedding of Miss En-
ma V. Mullan, and George Russell
Lukens, state senator from Califor-
mia, says the Salem Statesman. 1t
will be remembered by many that a
Washington woman spent a portion
of the time during the last session of
the legislature in Salem.
Her name was Emma Mullan and
she succeeded in lobbying through a
bill to pay off the old claim of Cap
tain John Mullan that had been
shelved and ditched by so many pre-
ceding legislatures. She had rooms
at the Willamette and became known
to every member of the assembly and
to the newspaper men about the state
house as well as to the state Off
cials.
The New York World contains the
following interesting account of the
nuptials and the romance connected
with her marriage:
Miss Emma V. Mullan, daughter of
Capt. John Mullan, United States
Army, retired, and George Russell
Lukers, state senator of California,
were married at the home of the
brides father, No. 1910 Connecticut
avenue. The ceremony was perform
ed by the Rev. Edward L. Buckley
of st. Matthew's church. Frank
Drexel Mullan of New York, escorted
his sister. Miss Mary Mullan was the
bridesmaid of honor and Carlton
Wall OF California, acted as best man
for Senator Lukens.
