MORE ABOUT NINE DISASTERS.

The exact figures, now available, OF
coal mine disasters in this country. show
that the recent article In this paper on
that subject was not quite so unfavor-
able TO our own country as the facts
warrant.
In government report on coal mine
accidents, by Clarence Hall and Walter
o. Smelling, this country's unenviaole
record IN mining casualties is shown
In an unfavorable light.
The report says that 1T is very
doubtful whether natural conditions In
any other country are as favorable as
in the United States for getting out
coal with the minimum amount of dam
ger to the workmen employed" 1t de-
clares that in more of our developed
coal properties than in any other coun-
try present almost ideal conditions for
mining
In the last Ave years, however. there
were killed In our mines an average
OF 3.Ss every year to every thousand
employed, as against 2 O6 for Prussia,
las for Great Britain, 100 for Bel
GUM, and 81 for France.
The ratio of accidents in other coun-
tries has been steadily decreasing
Here It has been on the increase. The
figures are:
Deseret evening news. [volume] (Great Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1867-1920, 1908-01-08
hlIIed per
thousand employed

The ratio of deaths to the tonnage of
coal mined has varied greatly from
year to year in the United States with
out showing steady tendency in either
direction. In Great Britain, France.
and Belgium. it has decreased almost
continuously within the same period.
In absolute numbers, the return is that
In the year 1906 there were 2,06t men
killed in American coal mines and 1900
injured. Since 1890, our total death
record has been 22,s40.
Joseph A. Holmes of the Geological
Survey, says that the increase of acct
dents in this country has been due in
part to the lack of proper and enforce
able mining regulations; in part to the
lack of reliable information concerning
the explosives used in mining, and the
conditions under which they can be
used safely in the presence of the gas
and dust encountered in the mines; and
In part to the fact that in the develop
ment Of coal mining not only Is the
| number OF miners increasing, but many
| areas from which coal is being taken
/
| entrance, where good ventilation is
more difficult and the dangerous ac-
cumulations of explosive gas more
frequent.
OF the deaths In coal mines last year
In this country, zoos, or about half,
and 1853 of the injuries, were caused
by falls of roof and coal; 22s deaths
and so7 injuries by gas and dust ex-
| ploslons; so deaths and 215 injuries
| by powder explosions. with 732 deaths
| and 2,193 injuries from other causes.
| Our own mine owners, 1t seems. have
| failed TO profit, as yet, from the expert
| ence OF other countries. This slaclsness
| shows the shortightedness of certain
| classes of capitalists. Theses conditions
tend to provoke the laborers againt
the employers and TO aggravate the
ancient warfare between labor and CAPT

than by policy OF present economy to
endanger the future,
The report referred to says that 1t
would be possible to reduce these acct
dents to "one-third of their present
number in the United States"
II is evident that legislation OF a
severe character is likely to follow this

statutes intended to protect the lives of

THE FINANCES.

The morning apoogist for the So
called American party mistakes tries
to make n great showing out OF the
financial statement of the City. But
the statement. as published, IS incom-
plete. 1t does not show the true stat
us of the finances. 1t does not show
what the outstanding warrants
amount to- and we understand there IS
a question in the minds of some menu
bers OF the old finance committee
whether some of the funds have not
been oyerdrawn beyond even the legal
limits. why not let the public have
n. complete statement Including GER
tain discrepancies or irregularities
that. according to rumor, have been
discovered by the experts? Boast Is
premature. until all the facts are made
known.
The financiers of the old council
wore poor business men. They never
considered whether the resources OF
the City justified the appropriations
they made. when politics seemed to
demand them. They trusted to
luck. They hoped that some
thing would turn up. 1T al
ways had come out all right" The
consequence of such methods was that
extravagant sums were paid out IN
some directions, apparently, as re-
wards for political services, while ie-
climate claims were turned down as
IN the case of property owners VINO
had paid for sidewalks that never were
laid, but who could not have their
money refunded though entitled to II.
II was more important to pay $4,000
for white-washing the conduit than to
refund 800 to a property owner whose
money was held illegally. With such
business methods. true financial
statement at the close OF the year cam
not be expected to be very enoourag-
ing.
The new council, we understand, will
not do business on such principles.
The revenues will be considered first,
and then the needs of the City. There
will be an honest effort to make both
ends meet Such are the promises
made. Such are the expectations. A
sound business administration, indie
pendent of party domination, will be
supported by the citizens generally.
No community can afford TO have par
~ strife made an element of the adj
ministration of its local affairs. 1t
is bad at all times. but especially so
when conducted by INSCRIPTIONS in
dividuals whose only aim in life is re-
venge for political defeat.

STUFF DREAMS ARE MADE OF
American Magazine.

Some OF our common dreams seem
to be directly traceable. Slipping down
OF the blankets is followed by dreams
of Arctic relief expeditions or falling
into snowdrifts. a gas dlstended
stomach, pushing up the diaphragm and
compressing the lungs, produces
dreams of something sitting on your
chest" or dramatic struggles against
other forms of suffocation The com
mon single dream that of falling, fall
ing from great height, to wake with
a gasp of relief just as you are about to
be dashed to pieces. is probably due to
the general muscular relaxation and
railing OF the head. arms and limbs
which accompanies settling down to
sleep. Careful studies have shown that
Il almost invariably occurs during the
first 10 seconds of sleep. A slip. a
change of position of a sixteenth Of an

falling TO the brain. II does the rest {"
