PHOENIX ARIZ.. JUNE %. 1907.
A DECLARATION OF WAR.

The proposed new preamble of the constitution of the Western Fedora tion of Miners breathes strongly of so- cialism if not of anarchy. It finds something in economic conditions which makes employers and employees enemies. On Thursday one of the speakers in the Denver convention, advocating the adoption of the pre- amble. announced that he wanted to go on record as the enemy of all em- ployers of labor" Extraordinary as this statement is it means no more than the language of the preamble it. self means.
 II is believed that the socialistic ele- ment is in control of the convention at Denver and it is quite possible that the preamble will be adopted. in which event the attitude of other unions to- ward the Western Federation will be watched with interest.
 The preamble amounts to a declar- at!on of war. It does not contem- plate a compromise of any of the diff ferences real or fancied which exist between employers and employees. It demands a complete surrender of the former. an entire change of the eco homie system. to be replaced by something we do not know what un- less it be one of the many vagaries of the socialists upon which even they are not. agreed.
 It is more than probable that dis duption would follow the adoption of the preamble and it is still more prob able that all other organized labor would stand still further aloof from the Western Federation of Miners than it does now. Labor has a better way of protecting itself than by dis troying the opportunity for labor. than by making an enemy of the element which employs labor.
 The effect. of the adoption of the preamble would probably not be wide effect outside of the organization. The influence of the federation upon industrial conditions within its juris- diction long since began to wane. Its methods draw employers into bitter antagonism as We have seen in the two successful fights made by the mining companies in the Bisbee dis trict against the introduction of un- ionism.
 There is no doubt of the advantage of unionism to the members of unions and frequently it is advantageous to employers of labor It is true that the rights of labor are not always recOg- nized by employers but this is a con dition that is an exception to the rule. AS a general thing the relations be- tween employer and employe are sat isfaetory. They are always so when both sides are disposed to be fair and honest. So general is this relation that it is wholly unlikely that it will be disturbed in the least by anything that may occur within an organization which already is in national disgrace and seems disposed to see to what wild lengths it can go.

EVERY ASSURANCE
 OF A FINE GAME
Aver Getting the Athletics in Trim Condition and Prescott Ready for Action.

The baseball situation at this writ ing looks flattering for a fine game next Sunday. Professor Aver of the Normal has been working with the Athletics for the last two evenings, giving them individual and team drill instructing each player in the fine points of his particular position and giving some general instructions that enable each man to get the best out of himself.
 Delgado is taking the dope like a catfish takes worms, and it is suspect ed that by Sunday that magnificent speed of his will be under perfect con- trol and adjustable to any kind of a curve from a spiral spring to a double bow knot. He will also be limbered on his feet and swing to guard bases like an electric gatling gun. Magof- fin, always a good catcher. has been put wise to himself and taught few points about quick and accurate throwing. And so it has been along the whole lineup Prof. Aver will give the boys another and final work out and team drill this evening. Yes- terday they had fine practice and a short exhibition game with the Flee tric Light Co.'S. team, the New York Store team being unable to appear.
 Further word was received from Manager Taylor in Prescott yesterday to the effect that his team was in fine shape and that he expects about a hundred fans will come along to see the fun. Wynkoop will be on hand beyond doubt. The game will be called at o'clock and previous to that time the band will escort a parade through the streets and out to the park. furnishing a free concert during the time the players are warming up. There is every assurance that a fine game will be witnessed and as an as- surance that there will be fair play at the gate, the tickets have been print ed with a coupon check. In the event of a rain, or any unfortunate incident stopping the game. this will enable the returning of the money at the gate,

Lost Siberian Railroad.
HOW FIRST STEEL Road IN NORTHERN
ASIA MYsrrRIousLY DISAPPEARED.

Near Irkutsk, In central Siberia, 10 .
series OF rapids on the Angrars river.
After many disasters, tho river trans
port companies decided In the early
'7Os to build q short railroad for trans
shipment Of freight around the rapids.
The 12-mile road was probably the first
railroad built in Asia outside OF India,
and certainly the first one built in north
ern Asia. There was no regular service,
about two trips each way being made .
week, as cargo offered. With the im.
provement of the roads through this
region by the Russian government,
traffic on this part of the river was
gradually abandoned and the railroad
finally fell into disuse. The locomotive
was acquired by farmer to be used
once q year to drive threshing machine,
the cars were taken of on barges and
towed away, and the line abandoned.
The freight sheds were finally dis
covered, then the line of the road mark
ed by the clearing in the forest, but no
trace of the rails or roadbed could be
found. The right of way was much
overerown with underbrush, and, bor-
dered with dense forest, was almost as
black and cold as mountain tunnel, the
sun being just visible lighting up the
topmost branches of the giant frs. The
railroad itself had completely disappear
ed. Not rail, not sleeper, only an oc-
casional suggestion now and then of
what had once been rude Cross drainage
bitches.
In an effort to find the track, picks
were driven as far as they would 90 into
the earth, only to bare masses Of tangled
roots. The railroad was lost. 1t could
not have been burnt up, because there
had been no fires, nor stolen and carried
of piecemeal, for the region was totally
lacking in population. Moreover, the
old freight houses remained, with their
locks intact, and packages of overlooked
goods in good condition within them.
It Is believed to have been a case of
gradual subsidence.
The unballasted track through the
forest gradually depressed by a few
years. traffic, naturally became drain
age conduit for the surface water of the
forest, rendering in time the subsoil
spongy throughout. The significance of
the fact that the line was much over
grown lies in the fact that this under
growth probably owed much of it's ori-
gin and profusion to the taking root of
the submerged tree length ties There
was never any ballast and In some un-
usually warm summer 1t Is probable that
the watersoaked tree sleepers, weighed
down by the cumbrous pig-iron rails,
sank beneath the surface and there
sprouted.

much alarmed.
But what were they to do2 None Of
them knew except George Henry Os'

and thought that he had an idea tina,
would prevent the circus men from
paying any attention to him.
So ON the day that the men were ex-

around to where the other Ostriches
were and did not have feather on his

"I believe I'd rather be taken away"
replied Lis brother.
And just then the men came in sight.
"Hurrahw they cried. Here Is the
greatest creature that We ever saw.
He is Il featherless ostrich. He will be

will just take him along and will not

So off they went with the featherless

The teacher had been reading the
story of Cinderella to her class of young
sters, and was now going over the story
again with them to fix it in their minds.
Among the questions which she asked
them was why it was necessary for
Cinderella to leave every night early
enough to be home by ~ O'clock.
From various members of the class
she elected most of the reasons which
are implied in the story, until finally all
remained silent.
"Isn't there any other reason9" she
asked. Cant any Of you think of an
other?"
Up shot Larry's soiled, chubby paw,
in frantic eagerness to indicate his
knowledge.
"That's good, Larry. What is the
reason?'
"She had to ketch the last car" piped
Larry.
