have occurred at but four or five mines. and
but 1900 men out OF 1900 have been af-

AT every other mine controlled by us the
mine workers leader admits that condi-
tions are satisfactory. and yet on the pre-
text Of righting a grievance that does not
affect more than one-tenth Of our en-
ployes he asks all the others to come out
in sympathy.

Developments Show Stand
ard Steel Car Co. Will
Plat Part of Site.
200 HOUSES BUILDING
Estimates Indicate That 1900 People
Will Settle in Eastern Portion
Before Summer.

The work on the new plant of the
Standard Steel Car company is pro-
crossing with remarkable rapidity on
account of the temperate weather that
has been the rule thus far this winter.
Most of the work on the plant has
been on the southeastern side of the
tract, but now the few frame build
ings which occupy the central and
western sections of the site are being
removed and work in those districts
will begin at once.
One of the most important develop
ments is the fact that the whole east
ern portion of the tract to a depth OF
1900 feet from Columbia avenue is not
to be included in the territory to be
devoted to the mills, but it is to be
plated and sold as lots.
1t also develops that the Standard
Steel Car company is not going to rely
on the people OF Hammond to provide
homes for their employees, but will
erect two hundred houses at once on
some of the lots In these plats.
Fifty Houses TO be Built.
In addition to this the Hammond
Gary Realty company will erect in the
neighborhood of fifty houses on the
Morris plat, just across Columbia ave-
nue.. and several other property owners
will build from one to ten houses.
1t is safe to estimate that before
spring is very far advanced there will
be three hundred houses built in Col
umbia avenue and the abutting side
streets.
This means that there viii he ar

tory between the plant and the city.

GARY SAYS OUTLOOK IS GOOD.
Only Danger In Iron and Steel Trade Is
Unreasonable Prices.

Chicago, Jan. 1o.-E. H. Gary, chair
man of the L. S. Steel corporation,
said on Monday that the outlook for
1907 is remarkably good. The untitled
orders on hand. he said, are larger
than ever before and the daily book
ings now exceed capacity.
Although the output has been in.
creased about % per cent in the last
Ave wears the sales for 1906 largely
exceeded production. AS result the
unified orders are sufficient to keep
furnaces and mills fully occupied for
the greater portion of the year 1907
Mr.. Gary believes that if the legis-
lation recommended by financiers is
secured, there viii be no cessation of
business for lack of money. One dan
ger 10 be feared, he says. is that the
demand will influence manufacturers
to unreasonably increase prices.

DOG TRAVELS 1900 MILES
Instinct Takes Canine Over Wonder
full Journey in Search of
Missing Mistress.

Vancouver, British Columbia, Jan.
31.--A most striking example Of al
imal instinct is furnished by the per
Torrance of a Scotch collie owned b.
T. G. Young, now Of The Dalles, Or
d. l.. Wiggens, a personal friend OF
Mr.. Young who lives in this city, is
authority for the statement that his
dog travelled 1000 miles without any
other guidance than instinct, over
road he had never travelled.
April last Mr. Young and family,
with the exception Of a daughter NOV
ed from Duluth, Mimi, to The Dalles
The collie, great pet, was turned
over to the man in the baggage car
and journeyed the entire distance in
that manner. Upon arriving at The
Dal'es the dog was extremely discon-
tented. He missed the daughter who
had been his lifetime friend. On the
third day after the Youngs arrived a.
Tie Dalles, the dog disappeared
Every effort possible was made t.
locate him, bur without avail. The
daughter in the East was told of th2
dogs disappearance. and great was
her sorrow.
Two weeks ago Miss Young was
visiting at Superior, Wis, with u
friend. She was srroling in park
when, with a dash. her Scotch Collie.
which she had supposed was lost for
good, rushed upon her. For fully an
hour the dog was frantic with de-
light.
There was no installing that the
dog footed it all the way home from
The Dalles, Ore, 10 Superior. Wis.
When he left The Dalles he was a fat
well-kept fellow. but when he arrived
at Superior he was little more than
skin and bones. and his feet We're
raw from exposure and the wear Of
travel.
The most peculiar incident in con-
nection with the dogs return is how
he knew that his mistress was in
Superior instead Of Duluth, the old
home of the Youugs. 1t is presumed
that the dog went first to the former
residence of the Youngs at duluth,
and finding no one there, and know
ing that Miss Young was accuston-
ed to go to Superior often, he made
his way there.
