PERSONAL SPITE.
Charges Against the President by the
Miners Federation.

Denver. Dec. 9.-The executive
board of the Western Federation of
Miners has issued the following state
nent concerning the present contro-
versy between Goldfield Mine Owners
association and the Goldheld miners
Enion:
ION December 6. President Roose-
welt issued a proclamation ordering
federal troops to proceed to Goldfeld,
New, ostensibly for the purpose of
protecting life and property. That
there was ever any danger to either
person or property is emphatically
denied by the officers of Esmeralda
county, and by the merchants and
citizens of Goldfield.
1.-The only reason for the present
trouble was the decision of the mine
operators to force upon the miners
a scrip that would not be taken at
par by the railroad company, the
Wells Fargo Express company, the
postoff1ce, the stores or the boarding
houses. Neither would the mine
owners agree to guarantee that they
would redeem this scrip at any time
in the future.
''In refusing to accept this worth
less scrip in exchange for their hard
labor the miners of Goldfe1d are
usurpaion of governmental functions
by unreliable banking firms, which
assume the right to set aside the legal
money of the nation.
I'VE desire to call the attention of
the American people to the awful dis
aster at Monongah, where 500 coal
miners were murdered by the capital
list system in it's greed for profits. Had
President Roosevelt been as anxious
to enforce the mining laws of West
Virginia; had he considered as we'll
the protection of the lives of those
miners by demanding that the mine
owners safeguard their employees
against unnecessary dangers as he is
to send the regular army to crush an
organization whose aim is to better
their condition and make happier
their lives of the working class 500
blackened corpses would not today be
laid upon the altar of greed at
Monongah, w. Va, around which
weep the widowed wives and orphan
ed children.
1--WE protest against the action of
President Roosevelt knowing that he
was animated by personal hatred
against the Western Federation of
Miners and it's officers. The moving
of troops upon peaceable community
must be regarded at least as hasty and

| tawa runs to Rosedale, where Is To-
Gated the regulator station that sup
| plies Kansas City. An auxiliary line
reinforces the main line from Olathe
to Kansas City.
All of the gas used in eastern Kan
sas and in Kansas City and ST. Joseph
is piped from Petrolia, ITO miles from
Kansas City and 156 miles from St.
Joseph. The gas leaves the wells at
800 pounds pressure and reaches the
compress or station at Petrolia at 100
pounds, where it is compressed to 27o
to 29O pounds. 1t reaches Scipio, SIS
| miles from Kansas City, at 800
pounds, where it will again be COM
pressed to 270 to 290 pounds for the
Journey to Kansas City and st. Joseph.
The men who are constructing the
new compressor station at Scipio, So
miles from Kansas City, expect to
have the plant ready for operation by
Christmas. The compressor station at
Petrolia, with its eight 1.00O-horse
power engines. applies pressure to the
natural gas which carries it to Kansas
City. But a pound or two Of pressure
is lost by friction with every mile
trayersed and so 1t has proved that the
one compressor station at Petrolfa is
not sufficient to give Kansas City the
required pressure.
For months past men have been at
work constructing the compressor sta
ton at Scipio. Travelling in two six
teen inch mains the gas reaches Scfpio
after a journey of sixty-five miles
put in operation additional pressure
will be applied at Scipfo. The method
is to tap the pipe at the south end Of
the big compressor station. The gas
is conveyed to the compressor and
compressed by a piston In cylinder.
It is compressed into much smaller
space and consequently travels az
greater speed because of the higher
pressure. The process of COMPRISING
it heats the gas to about 200 degrees
SO when released from the station 1t
is run through a cooling pond 700 foot

TO FURNISH MORE GAS.
The Company Working Hard to Com
plete the Scipio Plant.

| Ottawa, Kan, Dec. "a force of
275 men is working day and night
shifts to complete the gas compressor
station at Scipio, Kan. Officials of the
Kansas Natural Gas company, the
corporation owning and operating the
pipe line system, say that the compile
ton of this station will insure ample
pressure for the natural gas destined
for consumption in Topeka, Kansas
City, st. Joseph, Lawrence and other
points on the pipe line.
Natural gas now is being pumped
from Petrolia, a station on the Mis-
miles to the south. Each of the count
less gas wells in the gas field is cap
ped. A valve reduces the pressure Of
the average well from 800 pounds to
sixty or seventy pounds.
This pressure is sufficient however,
to carry the gas through the field pipe
lines to a connection with the trunk
lines seven miles southwest of Pc
trolia. A field line as distinguished
from a trunk line is a pipe ranging
from three to eight inches in diameter
used to carry the gas from the indi-
vidual gas wells to the connection
with the trunk lines. The trunk lines
carry the gas from the compressor
The pipe line from Petrolia is q

thence west to Topeka. A second six

from Lawrence to ST. Joseph. At

GOING and COMING.
Imports of Gold Largely Offset by
Money Order Business.


New York, Dec. 9-Whi1e the banks
are bringing millions in money into
the United States the foreign popula-
ton of the country is sending millions
out. The foreign postal order business
of the New York postoffice for last
month was $1,200,000 in excess of the
business for the corresponding month
last year. This years figures are &c.
631, 837 while the figures for November,
1906, were $5,490,125. There is every in
dication that the Christmas business of
the foreign postal order department of
the postoffice will be much larger this
year than ever before.
The distribution of the money is in
teresting. Italy led all foreign coun-
tries for the week ending November 80
with S609,962. For other countries the
figures were:
Great Britain, s234.731: Austria, $685.
536; Hungary. S155, ITO: Sweden, 1921, 4S6;
Germany. $72 100; France, SIS, 627:
Switzerland, $13,S69, In each case this
is an increase over the amounts sent
during the last week in November a
year ago.

CURB GAS COMP ANY.
Council May Stop Extension TILL
Pressure Is Better.

If a resolution introduced in the
city council by Councilman Blakely
Saturday night is adopted at the next
meeting of the council on December
%, the city will have some assurance
that it's supply of gas for heating and
cooking will be of sufficient quantity
to protect local consumers at all times
The resolution offered provides that
the gas company be not allowed to
make any new connections until it
demonstrates fully that it is able to
supply those who are now using gas
with that fuel all that they desire or
need
Mr.. BlakeIy's resolution is intended
to curb the gas company by regulat-
ing it through the city engineer. He
would grant the company no further
permits to make excavations for gas
conn ections until it can furnish better
pressure. The intent of this, it was
explained, was not.Aof@couRse to injure
those who may desire to use gas, but
to protect those who, are now using it.
If more connections are made with the
present status of supply, those who
now are using gas would suffer dur
ing an extremely cold snap. 1t is said
that the company hopes to be able to
demonstrate that it can furnish all the
gas that is necessary, possibly before
the resolution is acted on by the coun-
Gil.
The new Branner street viaduct was
passed by the council by close shave.
seven members voted for it, two
against it and three were absent The
hitch in the passage was over the
amendment providing for a sidewalk
the entire length of the two ap-
proaches. The representatives of the
Topeka Railway company and of the
Santa Fe system objected to this and
after a lengthy debate this provision
was eliminated and the ordinance was
passed. 1t was stated by General
superintendent Patton of the Topeka
Railway company that work on the
viaduct would begin in a short time.
HanIey & Richie, the contractors of
the Sixth ward sewer will be sued by
the city for $4,000 for alleged failure
to fulfill their contract and for over
charges. A resolution instructing the
city attorney to bring such suit in the
Shawnee county district court was
adopted Saturday night.
The council will meet in adjourned
session on the night of December %.

action of mimic warfare"
To Reopen the Mines.
Goldfield, New, Dec. 5.-An authori-
tative statement was made late last
that sufficient men are already on the
ground to work the mines beginning
Wednesday. The total number of
those that have been quietly brought
in and those who have secretly made
application to return to their former
positions is placed at one thousand.
There are about 1900 Western Fed
Grafton men out The men who are
to take the places of the strikers are
not to be housed at the mines, but Will
be scattered through the camp and
protection for each individual will be
guaranteed by the Mine Owners as
ISOLATION.
Two propositions have positively
been decided upon. They are the
making of an open camp for all time
and the early lowering of the wage
scale. At the same time the Mine
Owners association are going to be-
gin a vigorous crusade to lower the
cost of living in Goldfeld.
The scope of the Mine Owners as
ISOLATION is to be greatly enlarged
by the organization of the Nevada
Mine Owners association, of which
the Goldfield Mine Owners assoc1a-
ton win be a part. The new or
ganization is already we'll under way.
The announcement of the determine
ton to open the mines On "Wednesday
is to be made by tomorrow at noon by
the Goldfeld Mine Owners associa-
tion. and it Is expected that some
trouble may ensue.

BREWERS FOR TEMPERANCE.
Say They Are Ready to Help Abolish
Dives and Drunkarfs.

New York Dec. 9.-s'America's
foremost brewers are prepared to join
with reasonable temperance reformers
in a movement to abolish the dive and
the drunkard, the saloon that caters
to women and children and every sort
that does not obey the strict letter of
national and state legislation
This in substance, is the result of
conference between representatives
of the great brewing interests in this
city.
No secret is made by these interests
that the wave of prohibition which. in
local option or other forms, has swept
over the south and is making deep in

The county commissioners announce
that they have extended the time dur
ing which bids are to be received for
the construction of the Cross creek
bridge from December 18th to jan
uary Bird. This change in time was
made for the reason that the plans for
the reconstruction of the bridge have
been deemed necessary. The bridge
is on the main road between Fort
Leavenworth and Fort Riley and will
be built of stone and cement so that
it will accommodate the big guns.
