Saline May Be Improved.

United States engineers have just completed an examination of the Saline river, starting in about 30 miles below Benton. The government sur veys name the Saline river as navi. gable stream. and that it is so con- sidered by the railroads is shown by the fact that the Rock Island is build ing a drawbridge across it about eleven miles west of Crossett. The government engineers who made the examination express surprise to find the Saline possessed such head of water. They found stretches in the river about four miles long in which the average depth of water is about 12 feet. The river is badly clogged in many places. but it appears as II the clearing of the channel would render a fairly good head of water at most seasons of the year

PEACE SAID To REIGN
IN HARD COAL REGIONS
Board of Cancellation Created By
Strike Commission Has
Clean Slate.
Not A Single Case is Today Pend
ing, and Contract With
Miners Is Safe.

NEW York, July 1S.-The Board of
Cancellation, created by the Strike
Commission of 1902 to settle disputes
between the anthracite coal miners and
operators, has at last clean docket
Not a single case is today pending
This marks a condition of Industrial
peace brought by means which are
probably unique in this country. 1t
must be assumed that, if the miners
have no complaints to make, they are
satisfied with the way they are being
treated.
During the four years Of the Com
missions existence 159 differences be-
tween the coal operators and their en-
ployes have been settled. The board
itself-composed of three representa-
tvs Of the operators and three Of the
I miners-has disposed Of 1872 of the
cases, and an even division Of the
board has made 1t necessary to refer
only q cases to an umpire. OF these
appeals, he sustained the complainant
In only six cases.
Experience gained in handling the
complex questions involved has en-
abled the board to render its decisions
with increasing promptness, and of the
159 cases presented 40 were disposed of
within less than one month.
OF the grievances considered, only
one was presented by the United Mine
senting all the miners. Thirteen were
presented by the operators, and 146
by the miners. BY the boards decisions
20 cases were sustained, 115 not sus-
tanned or withdrawn, and Is settled
Through the influence Of the board"
Almost every element Of the miners
welfare is involved in controversies
brought up for consideration. The dis
charge of an employe, failure of an
other to secure reinstatement, suspen-
sion Of contract for loading "dirty
COAL" requests for a half-holiday on
pay day, and scores of other questions
come before the board.
Questions affecting wages have been
rarely brought before the hoard, for
the reason that the Anthracite Strike
Commission after exhaustive investi-
cation, settled upon q minimum scale
| of wages, which was renewed for three
years by the miners and operators at
the expiration, April !, 1906, of the
original arrangement. TO put the
| miners upon profit-sharing basis the
| commission further awarded that for
! every advance Of five cents above $3.50
In the wholesale selling price per ton
| of domestic sizes OF coal at tidewater,
the wages Of every man about the
| mines should be increased one per cent
above the schedule.

GREAT BENEFAC10R OF ;
MANKIND IS A0N0RED
Lord Joseph Lister, Founder Of
Antiseptic System in Surgery
Remembered. !:
His Wonderful Discoveries Have
Been Boon to Humanity-Death
IS Lessened.

All the world participates in the
gratitude expressed last week by Eng
land to Lord Joseph Lister for his
services to medical science on the oc-
casion Of the S0th anniversary Of his
birth. In commemorate ton; Of the event
his friends have undertaken the task
Of republishing all his scientific pa
pers. 's.~
To Lord Lister is due the thanks OF
the hosts of sufferers who have to
submit to surgical operations, for he
is the founder of the antiseptic sys-
tenn.
To realize the revolution in surgery
| that has been the outcome Of Listers
work one must endeavor to picture the
state of affairs before the introduction
of antiseptics. Almost all wounds; ac-
ctdental and surgical alike, underwent
a process of Inflammation and suppu--,
ration, accompanied. by, much pain and
loss Of health. The most trivial oper-:
ations were not tinfrequently followed
by pyemia and death. htany patients
died rather than face. the dread ordeal
Of operation. Erysipelas septicemia.
pyemia, tetanus and hospital gangrene
were one or all almost constantly pre-
sent in the. wards Of hospitals, and
occasionally an institution was visited
by q severe and fatal epidemic of one
of these. The miseries Of the wounded
in war and the horrors Of field surgery
at that time besgar descriptions.
There was no knowledge Of the
cause Of these diseases; they were
supposed to be h constitutional, and
when such uptoward results followed
an operation performed with All skill.

was regarded 40 In no way to blame.

but said that no man was 80 valuable
as the principle by itself.
This expression Of General Grant is
valuable to all those who desire to
exercise their reason In this discussion
Of the third term. The principle it.
self S more valuable to the Republic
than is any man. To overturn that
unwritten clause in the Constitution
now would be a great misfortune, be-
cause the time is coming when 1t will
seek to perpetuate presidential ma
chine. It would be better If instead
Of charging a presidents hopes and
ambitions and the ambitions of all his
office holders toward a third term, it
should be cut down to single term
absolutely.
There is not the slightest chance
that President Roosevelt would con-
sent to his nomination. or run II NOM
mated: He has said his say and he
will be as obstinate in that Is In
many other things. His loyalty to
others. his close personal friends, who
have had his official word that he Is
not a candidate, will prevent his being
candidate; and that is to have 1t
understood from the outset that it Will
be usless to nominate him. It is not
President Roosevelt's act which need
be discussed, for that act will never
take place-te is definitely out of the
question:; but the .Aysterical people
need to have a. dash Of cold water
thrown in their faces and asked II they
deliberately believe that President
Roosevelt is the only man in his own
party who can be trusted to be true
to his own policies, and is he the only
man in any party who can be expect
ed to be resolutely firm and fearless
in behalf of the people? II the answer
is Yes, then let us bewaal the condition
Of our country: If the answer is No,
then let this third term heresy drop.

SURVIVORS, OF COLUMBIA
DISASTER REACH PORTLAND

PORTLAND, Ore, July 24.-Bearing
survivors of the wrecked steamer Column
bia, the steamer George w. Elder made
fast to her dock in this, city at o'clock
tonight Hours before the big steamer
touched her dock, thousands of people
had gathered to welcome the fortunate
survivors Of the catastrophe and rela-
tives and friends We're there to prove
by sight and touch the safety of their
loved ones. And there were those there
who were impelled by a final hope that
by some miracle a father wife, a son
or brother might have been overlooked
in the preparation Of the roster of the
saved.
When the big boat made fast a great
cheer arose and by what seemed mutual
consent, the crowds divided, forming q
line on either side Of a narrow landing
through which the survivors walked as
they left the vessel. They were seized as
fast as they were recognized and smoth-
red with hugs and kisses.

ties. Sir Hector Cameron. then a
dresser Of LISTERS, speaks of five
deaths from pyemia following ampu-
in which were other cases Of pyemia
and hospital gangrene.
Such an appalling state of affairs
acted on Lister as a stimulus to re-
newed strenuous endeavor to remedy
the evils. It was just at this period
that Pasteur demonstrated conclusive
~ that the atmosphere produces de-
composition In: organic substances, not
on account OF Its oxygen, as had been
previously maintained, but because 1t
contains micro organisms which owe
their energy to their vitality. Putre-
faction Is fermentation of organic
matter caused by the Vital action of
these living germs. Lister, with the
scientific imagination and intuition of
genius, realized the value Of these OBJ
servations of Pasteurs in relation; to
the subject Of wound diseases. The
great deductions which Lister made
were (1) that "putrefaction" in wounds
was caused by microbes, (2) that these
were introduced from the outside, (s)
that "putrefaction" might be prevent
ed by keeping the wound free from
germs. 90 that this might be effected
by the employment of some substance
which would destroy the mtcrobe.
- The anttsepttc system was founded
on these principles. Starting, then,
with the idea Of destroying by an an
tfseptic substance. the germs In the
wound, in everything coming in con-
tact with the wound, e. g., instruments,
and IN its surroundings, Lister made
MS original test with carbojic acid
q fortunte selection. for it is still re-
garded as one of our best germicides.
The words which Lister one ad-
dressed to Paateur may with equal
truth be applied to himself, Truly,
IN the whole world there does not
exist any one to whom medical science
owes more than to. you.''

 San Francisco. April 4.--Hostility of the Southern Pacific Company to organized labor unionism among its employees of a certain rank was ad- mitted yesterday before the arbitra- tion board which is considering the demands made by the telegraphers on w. S. Palmer, general superintendent of the company. Palmer in response 10 question by Stanley Moore, spoke for two hours and ten minutes, giving the stenographer 17.50O words to record.
 ''The policy of the Southern Pacific can be better explained, Mir. Palmer said, by the instructions which were given by our present general manager over a year ago to the end that no dispatcher. or employe of any descrip- tion could expect promotion to an official position as long ashe retained his cnnection with a labor organiza- = tion, and that so far as that Is con cerned, the man would not be allow ed to resign in order to get that promotion at that time; that he must show his willingness to take the side of the company as against an or
