Senator Heyburn's Position.

The position of Senator Hepburn to the Aldrch bill
will commend itself to nne-tenhs of the real citizen

Orchard Sentenced.

In the District Court for Canyon County, Idaho in
session at CALDWELL the 18th inst, Judge Fremont
Wood pronounced judgment upon Harry Orchard
confessed murderer of Governor Steunenberg SEN
fencing him to be hanged on the 18th day of May.
Orchard had withdrawn an original plea of not
guilty and substituted plea of guilty the ndict
ment which charged murder in the first degree.
The final plea was made with full knowledge that
the penalty must be death and, against advice, it is
understood, the murderer asserting his willingness
to meet the penalty for the crime of which he is
guilty, believing it to be his just due.
The doomed confessed to participation in a
series of MURDERS all of atrocious character, en-
deavoring to impcate officers of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners Two trial juries relieved his
alleged confederates of completely and Orchard,
standing alone in the tragedy of blood faced pun
ishment with exhibition of calmness if not
courage.
The fate that he believes himself entitled to has
been provided for and if there is no executive inter
position, he will be hanged on the 18th day of May.
The Court, however, recommended mercy in the
case of Orchard suggesting Communication of SEN
tence to the board of pardons The Court said it
believed he told the truth in his testimony, and in
that testimony it will be remembered he charged
tain acquitted officers of the Western Federation of

the death penalty

Labor Trouble Inaugurated.

The beginning of what will probably prove a
serious strike by railroad employees was announced
at Denver last Monday, when 1900 railroad shop
of the Denver & Rio Grande went out. This
beginning it is predicted, the signal for ultimate
strikes all the railroads of the Gould system, of
which the Denver & Rio Grande is part. There
is possibility that "a 500 working men will become
involved
The railroad company was the aggressor. 1t
posted notices abrogatng all contracts it had made
with union organizations. 1t instituted new rules
that abolish the nine-hour day and overtime allow
Sundays and holidays. They destroy the
graduated scale of wages provide for the open
shop and declare it to be the intention of the
pany to change shop rules at will
The railroad company has taken advantage of the
depression in the industrial condition, being assured
that it easily replace the strikers, more than
half of its normal force of employees having been
laid off during the winter because there was nothing
for them to do.
1t is feared that the strike on the Gould system
may extend to other railroad systems and that
there will be a wide spread disturbance in labor
circles before the troubles precptated by the action
at Denver adjusted. 1t will come as an effect of
the money panic of last fall and its course will be
marked by distress and suffering among the repre-
sentatives of industry, who in way response

The Cruise a Success.

Admiral Evans fleet of sixteen war v.sstls
sailed into Magdaena Bay on Thursday of last
week, completing its cruise around onehalf of the
Western Hemisphere. 1t will remain several weeks
in that Mexican harbor and then proceed to San
Francisco where the historical event will be prop

Admiral Evans sends word that ''the pride of
the navy" entered the waters of Magdaena Bay in
perfect fighting condition The test has been
severe one and the readiness of the ships to go
Immediately into action at the end of trip of such
great length over a difficult route, attracts the
enthusiastic comment of the skilled experts of the
navieS of the world.
By this demonstration the United States has vastly
increased its standing as a naval power and there
fore its usefulness factor in the preservation
of the worlds peace Respect is engendered by the
ability to enforce respect. When the Evans armada
left Hampton Roads its cruise to the Pacific
there was violent talk of war with Japan. Nothing
is now heard of hostities from that source.
1t is understood that the fleet is under orders to
complete the circuit of the globe, passing in review
before the nations of Asia and Europe and return

Of the around the Horn cruise, Paris news dis

Many French officers now frankly say the i'm
pressive demonstration given by the American fleet
of its ability to keep at sea raises the American
navy an equality with that of Great Britain and
that if the return journey IS as successful as the
trip around South America has been, the American
navy will have demonstrated that she has

BUNKER HILL NETS
GOOD PROFIT ON ORE
FIRST SHIPMENT TO SALT LAKE
DEMONSTRATES THAT PROP
ERTY CAN KEEP IN SHIPPING
LIST ADVANTAGEOUSLY.

Robert Neill. general manager of
the Bunker Hill Mining Co. in an in
teryiew with News representative
yesterday stated that he had Just re-
turned from Salt Lake, where he was
TO see to the sampling OF car load
OF ore that was shipped from the
Bunker Hill several weeks ago.
Mr.. Neill states that he was more
Than satisfied with the result of the
shipment. The ore was sampled by
the Taylor 4 Brnnton sampling
works and then sold Oh the open
market. the A. s & Il. being the
purchasers.
The amount derived from the sale,
Mr.. NELL states, Melted a nice profit
after the cost of mining and trans
portatlon had been deducted. The
average of the ore that will be ship
ped in future will run about 30 per
cent lead and from to ounces i'm
silver. Mr.. NELL informs the News
that he has several thousand tons of
concentrating ore on the dump that
VIII go from Z to 10 per cent lead
and With small values in silver.
The property of the Bunker Hill
Mining Co. is In the Steptoe district
and comprises 10 claims The ore
that was recently shipped came from
workings at the bottom OF the
foot shaft. Several months ago, at
the request of Mr.. Neil, a spur was
put in at Granite on the line of the
Nevada Northern. This means much
to Bunker Hill Co.. as it will make it
very easy for them 10 handle thir
ores.
There is force of nine men work
on the property at the present time,
and IL is the intention of Mr.. Neill
to increase this force as soon as he
returns from the coming session of
the legislature. Robert Nye, of Ely,
is secretary of the company.

GAS MAKES A NEW
DEAL IN LABORATORY
REVOLUTION IN METAL WORK
ING MADE BY THE USE OF
ACETYLENE BLOW PIPES
REMARKABLE RESULTS.

A reprint and revision of Bulletin
No. 81 of the state department of
agriculture of Pennsylvania has been
issued by the department of chemis
try of the Pennsylvania State college,
under the authorship of George Gil
bert Pond, Ph.D The whole subject
of calcium carbide and aeetylene is
covered most thoroughly without the
use of technical language, and the
book contains complete and authori-
tatiye information so simply told that
the public generally will find the
book not only instructive but ex-
tremely interesting.
An important phase of the subject
is the remarka able use of what is
known as the oxy-acetylene blow pipe
BY burning acetylene in an atmos-
phere of pure oxygen the highest tenn
perature in chemistry is evolved,
practically equalling the electric are.
A pencil of flame two or three inches
long, and no larger than the barrel of
a fountain pen. can be drawn across
a piece of sheet metal and literally
melts the metal in two. The process
can be reversed and sheet metal, iron,
brass. copper aluminium and in fact
any of the ordinary metals can be
literally melted together and,
curiously, the joint is so perfectly
formed that file will not disclose
the point of fracture. Bridge girders
have been cut with great rapidity.
and ii is stated that this simple pen
ell of flame promises revolution in
the methods of metal working es-
adjustments.
Another curious phase of the sub
ject Is the fact that calcium carbide
at certain temperatures has the power
of fixing the nitrogen of the air and
in this way will produce fertilizer
called cyanamide, which is found
equal to Gillian nitrates. Few peo-
pie realize that fifteen million dollars
worth of Gillian nitrates have been
imported into this country and used
by the farmers here during the past
year.
Calcium carbide is rock like
substance produced by melting to-
gether lime and coke in the electric
furnace 1t is not affected by any
substance except water, and when
brought in contact with water it gives
off rapidly the gas known as acety-
lene.
The bulletin on calcium carbide
and acetylene can be had free by APP
plication. accompanied with six cents

try. the Pennsylvania State college,

SAY NOTHING IN
THE STORIES
DECLARED THAT FRACTIONAL
TROUBLES AND DISCHARGES
ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE
FOR FALSE CHARGES MADE.

The story printed in the News last
Thursday of communication sent east
charging white slavery and graft at
the expense of Greeks employed at
Smelter, appears to have arrayed the
Greeks in two factions, each of
which is emphatic in assertions that
the other Is engaged In mischief.
Harry Bolos, the man charged in
the communication with holding the
Greeks at Smelter in a reign of ter
ror and compelling them to pay him
money, called at the News office last
night In company with former Dep
uty Sheriff Ross, of Shelter, who
vouched for his good character.
Bolos declared that the charges
were without truth and simply the
outgrowth of i'll feeling on the part
of Papas, who signed the communi-
cation, and associates who had a
grievance because they were dis
charged form work at Smelter. The
history OF their discharge Is declared
to show that It came about through
effort on the part of Papas To secure
signatures TO an alleged petition for
removal of the post office. A short
time before, an alleged petition was
circulated by Greek for some
harmless purpose. On examination
IL was found that after the sigma
lures had been secured petition had
been attached demanding higher
wages and threatening a strike The
men who had put their names on the
paper knew nothing of this. Those
behind the move were ferreted out
and discharged. When Papas start
ed getting signatures IL was thought
that he might have a similar game
TO play and, being unable to give
a satisfactory explanation, he was
discharged. Several others were let
go with him. These joined with the
men previously let go and are said
TO have since composed what is al
legged to be a trouble making faction
which is reckless of the truth and
seizes upon every opportunity TO
make for dissatisfaction with pre-
vailing conditions.
This is the Bolos side of the story
and is voucned for by Mr.. Ross and
a number of others familiar with con-
ditions In the Greek quarter ar
Shelter. Bolos has been employed
there a year and a half. rae dis
claims any collections whatever from
the men and truthfully asserts that
he employs or discharges no men,
this being entirely in the hands of
Ed Leake, outside superintendent.
In regard to the case against Bolos
for alleged extortion of money from
Greeks at Smelter last spring, IL is
learned that the action was dismissed I
by the district court last week be-
cause of the absence of witnesses. |
The men alleged TO have been bled
are no longer at Smelter. having
either left or been discharged since
the justice court trial of Bolos.
