New Line Has Been in
Use Since Tuesday.
PHONES WORK PERFECTLY
Talk of Extending the Service
to Orogrande.

The new telephone line from Sites to
Elk City was completed late Tuesday
afternoon, and the results have been so
satisfactory that the local stockholders
are now considering extending service
to Orogrande. President and General
Manager P. E. Ellis, of Sites, was
in Elk City when the final connection
was made. Parties in Sites, Grange
vile, Kooskia, Kamiah, Cottonwood,
Lewiston and other points outside were
called up, and the line was found to be
in perfect working order. At Sites
the line connects with the Pacific States
which gives service to Spokane and
points all over the northwest Heavier
wire than has ever been used on a tele-
phone line in this district has been put
up by the new company, the equipment
throughout is of higher grade, and,
the service being established on strictly
a business basis, there is offered to the
patrons the best of facilities for COM
municating with the points the line
touches.
May Serve Orogrande.
Several of the local business houses
have decided to install phones and wire
in to central. The Orogrande line now
in use has been connected. President
Ellis and Vice President Hye started
negotiations the first of the week look
ing to the purchase of the Orogrande
line, but thus far nothing has been ac-
) complished, and there is now serious
consideration among the local stock
r holders on the proposition of putting in
: new line to the neighboring town.

e Middle Fork Line Complete.
r ment telephone line, extending from
u Kooskia to the Forks, a distance of "a
miles, was completed this week and is
now in working order. Four instru-
ments are already in use on the line
= one at reserve headquarters, one at w.
E. Parry's place, E. P. Turner's and
L Henry Lowell's at the Forks. Other
1t connections will be made later. The
e number of phones on the main line is
(. limited to seven, but branch lines, with
NJ switch boards at certain places, will be
/ built by people on the adjacent ridges
re and all who desire connection on {
os branch line can make any arrangement
d. they please, as the forest service will
er have no control over such lines. Ii
lg order to secure a satisfactory servic
1e over the main line it was necessary t
70 limit the number of direct connections
TX and as the line is the property of tn
government, people ought to be salts
no fed with the privilege of connectin
at over branch lines. In fact it gives
better service all around.

Lost Their Lives.

Trinidad, Colo, Aug. 29.-Between
twenty and thirty dead, nearly half
the town swept away, thousands of
dollars damage to town property and
great loss of live stock tells briefly
the story Of the flood at Folsom, n. NJ.
Many persons are still missing and
several days may elapse before COM
plete list of dead is obtainable.
Residents of the town who lived on
higher land and beyond the reach of
the torrent saw houses containing
families crying for aid swept away
before their eyes, powerless to render
them any assistance. Eyewitnesses Of
the disaster tell of seeing lights flick
ering for moment in doomed build
ings and seeing the structures crash
together as they drifted into the mar
row canon and were crushed like
pasteboard. Some lights could be seen
a distance of nearly a mile down
stream before the buildings were
finally broken up and the occupants
drowned. An entire row of buildings
was completely swept away and 9th

SENSATIONAL SHOOTING.
Baltimore cIubman Badly Wounded at
Atlantic City.

= Atlantic City, N. j., Aug. 2S.-
Though Charles B. Roberts, the fnan-
cier and clubman of Baltimore, who
was the victim of mysterious shooting
on the board walk here, is still in
critical condition at a local hospital
strong hope is entertained by the ply
sicians that he will recover. He has
sufficiently revived from unconscious
ness to tell the police something of
the man who shot him and, acting on
the faint clew which is understood to
have been given them, they have been
working industriously to clear up the
mystery surrounding the shooting.
Mrs. Williams, who was in the roll
ing chair with Roberts, and the negro
chair pusher were subjected to sharp
cross examination and their stories
agree on the details.
Mrs. Williams made emphatic de-
NAL when asked whether the man
might have been her husband. She
asserts that Mr.. Roberts has long
been family friend and that her hus-
band knew him as such.

net DEATH BY SUFFOCAT|0N
Burning Oil Starts Fire and
Flames Soon Cut Off All
Means Of Escape.

Manchester, Okla, Aug. 27.-Thirty
miners were suffocated in Hailey-O Ola
coal mine No. at Haileyville, four
teen miles east of Manchester. when
fire destroyed the hosting shaft and
air shaft and cut off the air from the
men below. Rescuers were unable to
enter the mine for nearly twenty-four
hours, owing to the ferceness of the
fire, and by that time all the men
had persisted. Their bodies were re-
covered.
Explorations in the channels re-
vealed that none of the men met
death by burning, but all of them were
suffocated.
After the miners had gone down in
the cage a fire broke out occasioned
by the ignition of a barrel of oil
which a miner was trying to divide.
The flames spread so rapidly that all
communication with the top was soon
cut off. Hundreds of miners rushed
to the scene and tried to get into the
air shaft, but this was impossible, the
flames and smoke coming up that way
| with such force as to drive them back
Then an effort was made to operate
the cages running up and down the
hosting shaft, but it was found that
| the cages, the cables and the guides
had been burned. There was absolute
~ no help for the imprisoned miners.
When the mine was finally cleared
of smoke nineteen of the dead miners
were found, with five mules, huddled
| together in one of the entrances a
mile from an opening. They had start
