In the Maypole coal mine here have
survived the disaster. The four men

The ventilating fan which was put
out Of order BY the explosion was re-
paired this morning and the mine has
been cleared OF the gases, to allow the
rescue party to again descend.
The sight which met their eyes was
horrifying Not far from the bottom
of the shaft eighteen bodies were
found, All frightfully mutilated, the
legs and arms being blown off and
heads battered almost beyond recOg-
milton.
The management of the mine de-
clare that between sixty and seventy
men were under the ground ait the
time Of the explosion, and that there
'is mo hope that any one win be
brought out alive.
Women and children. however. re-
rnained at the pit all night and re-
fused to leave until the bodies or their
dead were brought to the surface.
Nothing else will convince them Of the
hopeleseness OF waiting.

CHATCoLET PARK

Senator Hepburn is making a good
record in congress in his efforts
for the people. He Is usually
found fearlessly and consistently
championing their cause when meas
ures OF public interest are being
considered. One of his latest acts,
in which the people of northern
Idaho are especially interested. was
In securing the passage of the Chat
colet national park bill through the
senate. This measure sets aside a
number of acres at the mouth of the
st. Joe river as a public park. This
particular spot Is designated because
II has been for years the most popu-
lar camping and fishing ground in
the Inland Empire. People come
from all over the Palouse country and
northern Idaho to spend a few weeks
there during the hot weather of sum
mer and the banks are lined with
tents. 1t is the one big playground
in this part OF the west which has
attractions and convenienees for such
outings, and Senator Heyburn's bill
has met with universal favor. 1t is
the most popular measure of local in
terest he has introduced. He secured
the passage of the same bill during
last session OF congress and for some
reason French let It die In the house.
The measure In again in the house
and the people are inquiring what Mr.
French is doing to secure Its passage
So far as we have been able to learn
he has done nothing. and 1t is up to
him to secure the passage of the bill
or answer to his constituents for itt
failure. The people want the meas.
ure TO become a law and there seems
to be q string holding French back
or else he does not care to work fol
those who elect him to represent
them. We can put our finger on this
persons who have hold of the enc
OF the string that keeps him from
pushing this measure through. Tht
failure to secure Its passage this tins
win lose MIR. French a good man!
supporters in northern Idaho, regard
less OF party Affiliations. The peopl
want q man in congress who repre-
aents their interests rather than thos
OF corporations. and are going to hol
French responsible for the fate OF thi
bill. He IL the one man who can SC
cure Its defeat or passage and h
alone must shoulder the conse
quences.
