PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. | "a spe-
cial dispatch from Spokane to the

kins was recc Enized on the streets of
that city last week and interviewed
and said that he did not make an
effort to avoid arrest: that he had
been to Denver, Seattle, British Co
lumbia and other places; that he had
brushed up against policemen and
detectives, but that he was not court

years would elapse before he was
brought to trial

"Why did he implicate you in his
confession?"
Hes crazy. But he evidently had
sense enough to implicate me so as
to give credence to his story, as he
must have realized that I, known to
be there at the time, would add
strength to his story"

BRITISH RAILWAY
MAGNATES STUBBORN

LONDON, Oct 5.-Richard Bell,
NJ. p, general secretary of the Anal
gamated Society of Railway Servants,
announced today that the railroads
had sent an unfavorable reply to the
society's demand for recognition of
their union.
The ballots SO far received from
the men in the vote being taken
throughout the United Kingdom on
the advisability of declaring a gen.
eral strike in order to secure a rec
ognition of their organization and a
new scale of wages and hours are
largely in favor of a general strike.
The voting will be concluded on Oc-
tober 26.
The reply of the railroad compa-
MES, which was issued by the council
of the Railway Companies associa-
tion, says the council has not power
to appoint representatives to meet
the delegates of the unions and dis
cuss questions which affect the rela-
tions between individual companies
and their employees. The council,
however, added that its members in
dividually were unanimously of the
opinion that no advantage could re-
suit from any meeting until October
26, when the result of the mems bal
loting will be known.

CANNOT CARE FOR ITSELF"
Would Have Eastern Half Added to
Utah and Other Part to
California.

Golfers Weekly, which seems to
take particular delight in suggesting
through it's columns that the western
states are not able to care for them
selves, and that they should be joined
together, increasing the areas of the
states but reducing the number OF
states, and thereby reducing their
political power in national politics,
has now come forward with the
thoughtful suggestion that eastern
Nevada should be annexed to Utah
and western Nevada to California.
The article in full follows and
will be read with no little interest
and amusement by those residents of
Nevada who still cling to the old
fashioned idea that this state is cap
able of caring for itself:
The editorial which is headed "The
Case of Nevada-Can She Stand
Alone, or Does She Need IIelp?"
says:
"The abandonment of the plan to
unite Arizona with New Mexico
brought out the suggestion that it
should be attached to Nevada, and
that brought the old question of Ne
vada's future again before the pub
lie, with the collapse of each success
sive mining boom this question has
become acute. For Nevada has never
yet attracted permanent population
large enough to justify the mainten-
ance of a separate state government.
Nine states have come into the union
since her admission, and Oklahoma
will make the tenth.
"All of them have forged ahead
while Nevada has stood still. She
had just $50 more people in 1870
than she had thirty years later. Her
new mining camps are helping her
just now, but in time they will go
the way of Virginia City and Gold
Hill. Her hope of a settled popu-
lation now rests upon irrigation.
There is plenty of fertile soil in the
state if it can be watered, and the
reclamation service may yet create
self-supporting commonwealth.
1.-THE Rochester Union-Advertiser
suggests that the proper disposition
of Nevada would be to unite it to
Utah. from which it is divided only
by an imaginary line crossing the
desert. This would make COM
pact state of reasonable size. The
only objection to the plan is that it
would put the people of Nevada into
relations which the greater part of
them would find unnatural. The old
mining region about the Comstock
and the new camps of Goldfield, Ton
opah and Bullfrog have all their deal
ings with California. They would not
like to be tied up to a Mormon ma
jority several hundred miles away
across the desert. But there is no
reason, apart from sentiment, why
Nevada should not be divided, at
taching the western part to Califor-
mia and the eastern to Utah. Under
such an arrangement the enlarged
California would still be smaller than
Texas, and the enlarged Utah smaller
than Montana"
While annexation has never been
seriously considered in the west the
probable results of such union are
interesting to contemplate Utah now
has a population of about 900
That of Nevada is probably $4,000

ARCHIE MCDONNELL,
COMST0CKER, DEAD
OLD TIMER PASSES AWAY AFTER
BRIEF ILLNESS OF CON-
SUMPTION.

Archie j. Mcdonnell, one of the
and in that section of the state, died
at his apartments in the Ryan build
ing at Virginia City last Saturday.
His death was unexpected and
twenty minutes before he passed
away the deceased was walking
through the building and met and
talked with severa. of his friends.
Mr.. Mcdonnell became ill about
eight months ago, of consumption,
and he gradually grew worse until
death resulted Six months ago he
left Virginia City and went to Baden
Baden and to other European water
ing places in hopes of benefit but the
trip did him little if any good and
he returned to his old home on the
Comstock ten days ago to await the
final summons which both he and
his friends saw was not far in the
future.
He was superintendent of the I'm
ion in Con-, Sierra Nevada, Potosi
mines, and was a recognized factor
in Comstock mining affairs. He
leaves several relatives in Canada.
He served as president of the Gold
Hill Miners union in the sixties and
always kept in touch with that Or
ganization.
"Archie Mcdonnell was one of the
most congenial spirits on the coast, -
said local man yesterday, who had
known him for many years, 'and had
friends wherever he was known He
was a good friend and like all men
of strong character. relentless en-
emy. His enmlty was always with
fairness and charity. He was well
known to every pioneer in this state,
where the years of his young man
hood were passed. He fought the
battle of life and died as he had
lived, true man. His kindly face
will be missed on change in San
Francisco and on the Comstock.
where he occupied prominent place
in the hearts of the people.
"Mr. Mcdonnell was strongly
urged by his friends to be the Re-
publican candidate for governor in
the last campaign, but politics had
no charms for him, only so far as
he could aid friends who were on
the ticket. He represented Storey
county in the last state senate. In
1S74-7 he was recorder for Storey
county, and later represented that
county in the lower house of the leg
islature and was chosen speaker at
that session.

Anna Bobers, Arctic Artist.

The worlds leading painter of far
northern scenery is undoubtedly Miss
Anna Boberg. Swede. An exhibition
OF her arctic paintings in Paris has
proved this. Miss Boberg is so charm
ed with Norwegian ice and snow claG
mountains that she has had a little
shanty built upon the rocky islet OF
Furoen, in the Arctic ocean. The light
house keeper on the island is the only
human being Anna Boberg sees some
times for months. She spends her win
tiers at Furoen, for then the terrible
yet fascinating. polar scenery is at its
best. She makes excursions among the
icy mountains and paints the ire
mendous views that present them
selves. Sometimes her fingers get so
cold the paint brush has to be strapped
to them, yet the artist is not iismayed
Sometimes a crag she wishes to as
cend seems sheer up and down ice. At
such a time Miss Boberg has been
known to take off her shoes and stock
ings and let the warmth from her feet
melt the ice to give her a foothold.
