WIFE RETURNS AND

BELLINGHAM, June 23.-While

day, isaac Westlund, aged 81 years.
a rancher. living two miles north
and one mile east Of Laurel, fell dead
in a fit of apoplexy. He was per-
forming his evening chores at the
time, and near the body, on either
side, was found bucket of food for
the pigs. The old man has lived on
his ranch for the past twenty years.
He and his wife supported them
selves by raising farm produce of all
kinds, and she was in the city yes
terday disposing of some when death

custom to make daily trips into the
city, as they lived only about nine
miles out of Bellingham.
At first it was thought that the
deceased had met a violent death,
but Coroner Thompson decided that
death was due to natural causes

that he would hold no inquest, Is the

The department of state is having
a few troubles of it's own in the line
of Japanese negotiations and Canad-
ian fishing controversies and the
prospect of political upheavals in
Central America. But it can spare
time to smile at the situation that
Europe finds itself in with the Hague
conference. AS everyone knows, the
first Hague conference was called
by the car of Russia, and the prom
inent feature of the discussion was
the reduction Of ornaments. There
was nothing done, and by the time
that the next meeting of the con-
ference was due, Russia was so deep
in q war with Japan that the con-
ference was not called at all. Then
the United States suggested a renew
|al OF the conference, but the sky
being clear for the time, took back
seat as a matter of courtesy and al
lowed Russia to isue the formal call.
Now, just as the conference Is as
sembling, the situation in Russia
changes so much for the worse that
it looks as though the car might
have a revolution at home and a
peace conference abroad both on his
hands at the same time 1t is need
less to say that the reduction of ar
maments, which all the European
powers are afraid to discuss, will be
given scant consideration at the pres
ent meeting. The mere fact that
Russia is busy with so much trouble
at home probably will prevent the
present meeting from amounting to
much.

CHICAGO, MILWAUKEE &

Takes Option ON Five Thousand
Acres in Teanaway Valley, Kit
titas County.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul railway is reported to have
taken an option on 5000 acres of
land in the Teanaway valley. Drilling
crews are already at work prospect
ing for the coal which is believed to
underlie the valley. The proximity
of this field to the Roslyn mine,
owned by the Northern Pacific, leads
to the belief that coal will be found
as outcroppings have been known to
exist for years. The Milwaukee will
now make a serious effort to locate
the main vein. A branch line is to
be built through the valley. and
should the coal be found in the
quantity that is expected a plant
equal to that OF the Northern Pacific
at Roslyn will be erected.
This is important 20 Leavenworth

CLAIM SHIPPERS
DELAY TRAFFIC
Railroad Companies Give New EX-
PLANTATION of Reason of
Car Shortage

NEW YORK, June Z4.-FlSureS
compiled at the request of E. Fl. Har-
riman show the great extent to which
Pacific coast shippers are delaying
the unloadig of freight cars urgently
needed to move the recordbreaking
freight traffic on the Southern Paci-
fic. The records of the principal Cal
ifornia and Oregon shipping centers
show that since April an average OF
1852 cars per day were held over
time for unloading on the Hartman
lines in this territory.
From that date to May 1 condi-
lions grew rapidly worse, but the
June records show considerable i'm
provement, owing to the railroads
insistence that cars be released.
Portianu shippers on April 1 were
holding 674 cars, which they had in
creased to 1913 on May l, and re-
duced to ZIG by June IL.
San Francisco, which had 1860
cars tied up on April 1, was holding
2.35S cars on May 1. and 1,640 on
June II. Oakland's record was 494
for April 1, 429 for May 1, and 365
the middle of this month. Sacra-
mento and Los Angeles shippers are
holding $50 more cars now than on
May 1.
The average number Of cars SO
withheld from service aggregates
over 20 per cent. of the total new
equipment bought by the Union Pac-
ific and Southern Pacific for deliv-
cry up to July 1. This new equip
ment amounts to 5000 cars for the
latter system and 1000 for the
Union Pacific lines. The advantage
shippers would derive from this
large addition to the Hartman
lines equipment, involving an out
lay of $31,000.000, is materially of
set by shippers delays in unloading
and releasing cars.
Owing to the freight congestion
four months ago, when the Southern
Pacific was loading 40 cars a day
into San Francisco in excess of the
number of cars unloaded, warning
was given that embargoes or in
creased demurrage charges would be
necessary if cars were not released
more promptly. These warnings
have been reapeted more lately IN
other quarters, and the utmost eff
fort is being made by the company
to secure the cooperation of shippers
in getting the freest use of its cars,
and to make shippers realize that the
use OF freight cars as storage ware
houses Is unfair both to the railroad
and to other shippers.

BUYS TURKEYS FOR
CROWD TO CHASE

p. VALLEJO, Cal, Dec. ga man
who is known to the men about
town as "Scotty" is cutting quite q
dash by throwing money away by
the handful in the different resorts
in town.
AS a change, he purchased tur-
keys at 81 a piece and turned them
loose on the principal streets as a
gift to the lucky persons who
caught them.
"Scotty" is said to be a paid-off
boilermaker, recently in the naval
service, with a bank account OF
about $500. He says he will
squander the money and then go
to work at the navy yard to earn
some more, so that he can have the
pleasure of throwing it away and
watch the crowd scramble for it.

When mine caves in, women
and children gather at the mouth of
the shaft and create scenes that
are written up in the papers and
cause all sorts of troubles for own

figure that it is cheaper to stand
this than to properly timber the
mines.
When man gets miners com

the loss of that man, for not one in

some states regulates the matter of
ventilation. but there is no law of
that kind in Goldfield. Again, "men
are cheaper than timbers."
The miner clings to his union for
several reasons, the chief one being
that he can present a concerted de.

by enough force to compel a hear.

union he cannot enter a mine with

WAGES CUT

In order that the Hartman and
Hill railway systems can continue
paying dividends on their watered
stocks, the wages of truck handlers
and common laborers in the local
freight houses have been cut from
22R cents per hour to TN cents
per hour. Heretofore the men re-
ceived 1925 per day, but this small
amount has been reduced to sits
per day of 10 hours.
The men feel very bitter over the
cut, as no attempt has been made
yet to reduce the wages of train
and engine crews or any branches
of labor employed on the roads
which are organized.
The freight handlers have never
been organizer into a union and
this is one instance of many where
the unorganized workman has re-
ceived lemon as his reword.
