all the addresses were highly in
favor of the proposition and very
optimistic in tenor Before the
meeting adjourned the list was
turned over to a committee who
will see the few remaining prop
erty owners in that vicinity and
secure their cooperation.
This meeting places the rail
road proposition in the Wayside
and Ceta community in fine
shape, and a little speedy and
thorough work will complete
their portion Of the bargain.
BY the way, this trip was the
first that this reporter has ever
paid to that section of the coun-
try and TO say that he was sur
prised at the great amount Of
land in cultivation, the new
houses that are going up and the
improvements that are being
made in that section, is placing
the thoughts of the reporter very
mildly. The people are wide
awake, hustling and energetic
and when the railroad is built
down into that neighborhood
Canyon City will certainly have
to keep on her toes in order to
keep abreast of the advancement
which those people will make.
Watch the prediction.

war. is being pressed with vigor, and
the belief is that it will pass at the
next congress. That act would take
care of retired officers in handsome
shape: but the men who never got
commissions haven't been able to work
up much enthusiasm about it, because
it doesn't promise to do anything for
them.
1t is for this reason that the PROPOSE
ton to pay to all soldiers the differ
ences between the value Of the green
backs they received, and the value Of
gold at that time, looks good to 50
many thousands of the soldiers Of the
line. Any pension law it is urged,
must be based on minimum term of
service: 80 days being the term now
prescribed in most of the laws. The
man who served four years stands on
the same footing as the one who was
in 80 days. But when it comes to MAX
ing good the difference between gold
and greenbacks, the benefit is proper
tionate to the length of service. The
bill is said to have possibilities of TAX
ing the place, in the near future, Of
some Of the pension legislation now
urged.

mysterious DISAPPEARANCE
Group Picture Of MiIlers Brings Ans

Group Picture Of MiiIers Brings Anx-
ious Inquiries.
mysterious Disappearance" Is a
headline that has become familiar as
an almost daily feature Of the news
paper. The stories come from cities,
villages, and hamlets of somebody's
dropping out of his home and haunts,
leaving no clew. The total of the
years army of mysteriously disap-
peared is amazing-and no estimate
can be made Of those who are never
again heard Of by friends or relatives.
A pathetic Indication Of the number
thus lost is occasionally afforded in an
unexpected way. One such indication
is to be found today in a special file
Of letters at the offices of Washburn-
Crosby Co. In Minneapolis, MINI. A
full page group picture Of the big
force of millers employed in making
Gold Medal Flour was recently widely
published. The picture shows hun
dreds of intelligent faces under clean
white caps-and is striking as an IL
lustration of the representative type
Of American workingmen.
A day or two after the picture APP
peared, a letter came to the company,
from "a heart broken mother who
thought she had recognized her son in
the group. She said that the boy had
disappeared two years before, and that
the likeness was so close she was al
most certain it was he. With the name
she enclosed the picture cut out from
the group and besought the company
to write whether or not he was her
son. It was another disappointment
that the mail bore back to her, for the
picture was at once recognized as that
Of we'll known young miller of an
other name and home.
But here was the remarkable thing.
Letter after letter followed, the moth
ers from all parts of the United States
asking about this and that one in the
group, whom the writer's were sure
they recognized. 1t was evident that
that group of men-now familiar every
where as the millers that never touch
the flour with their hands-had been
studied with absorbing interest.
Happily all present in the picture are
easily accounted for-many having
been in the mills for years and all be-
ing men with love of home, friends and
settled interests that marks the high
est class Of workmen.
But back of the inquiries lies stories
OF hope and heartbreak that would
make a book full of human interest.

Tunnel True to a Foot.

Helena, Mont.-A remarkable feat in
mining engineering was finished when,
after driving for two years, less ten
days, the station at the 900-foot level
Of the Iron Mountain mine was tapped
by tunnel more than mile long at
the desired spot to a foot.
For years the property was regular
producer and paid million in divi-
dends. It had to be abandoned because
of the expense in pumping the water to
so great height. Then the tunnel was
decided upon, and now the mine is be-
ing unwatered by gravity.
Great fear was expressed by the
state mine inspector that the heavy
water pressure would cause break
and drown the worlcmen, but this was
avoided by running a zigzag crosscut.
