WAVE OF RAILROAD DISASTER.

The country 10 undergoing another
wave of railroad disaster, and by thu
time it has run IT'D course, the old rec
ords of death and damage and loss will
be blacker and heavier than ever.
But these periods Of traffic tragedy
seem to have no deterrent effect on the
travelling hosts Of America; our people
60 right ahead with their engagements
for long and short distance trips with
undiminished confidence and hardly vary
their routes away from the lines inyoly-
ed in the passing misfortune.
It takes a good deal to bluff a live
American these days; he is SO busy and
his time is 80 valuable, and his dates SO
important to him and his business, he
takes any old risk willingly rather than
forego the specific chance to make
money.
A travelling man out of Portland re-
Gently explained this condition Of appar-
ent indifference, rather cleverly: He said,
speaking for his own class, particularly,
that athe ordinary drummer counted
himself safer than usual on q road upon

The "strike" was made within half q

borings along the edge Of the East
River. For several days the drills have
been bringing up quartz, remarkable
circumstance in itself. until finally q
fireman looking at the material thus
brought up discovered that II contained
gold, expert examination revealed the
surprising value Of the find. The orc as

600 or some reasonable sum, that he
will pay any laborers that may work
on this proposed railroad, the entire
membership of the Chamber will at this
meeting have an opportunity to express
themselves either favorably or unfayor-
ably. In fact, the action the Chamber
may take on the report will SO far as
the Chamber itself is concerned, settle
the matter once and for all, so far as
can now be seen.
If the report is adopted and the COM
mittee discharged, then the opinion Of
the committee will be final and binding
on the Chamber. If the report is not
adopted then the Chamber will have
within its scope Of power to take some
further or different action from that
proposed by the executive committee.
There is to say the least, considerable
interest in the matter and full attend
ance at Monday nights meeting 10 to be
expected. It is not unlikely that Presi-
dent Hawgood Of the railroad company
Of which Mr.. Reid is the secretary and
attorney, will be present in person, al
though nothing definite is known on the
subject Of his attendance.
