Fined On the l6-Hour Law,

Butte, Mont, Jan. 2S.-A special to
the Miner, from Helena, says that for
violating the 16-hour law, the Noyth-
ern Pacific Railway company was this
morning fined 800 in Judge j. NJ. Gle
ments' court. The case attracted con-
siderable interest because it is consid-
cred test of the law created at the last
session of the legislature to prevent
railroad employees from being obliged
to work when they are really incapaci-
tated from efficient service. The case
will be appealed and the constitution
atty of the law tested.

RAILROADS ASK FOR TIME.
Want to Test Law Against Owning Of
Coal Mines.

Washington, Jan. 2s.-The operating
vice presidents of many Of the large
railroads of the country were received
by President Roosevelt yesterday and
presented a request that in execution
what is known as the comfy amend.
ment of the railroad rate law bill one
case be brought against the roads by
the government, this case to be finally
disposed Of by the Supreme court of the
United States. This, if agreed to by
the government, would mean that the
railroads owning coal producing lands
would not sell them by May next, as
required by law, but could operate
them as heretofore until the disposal Of
the test cases. The law in question is
regarded by the roads as unconstitu-
tional.
The president referred the railroad
men to the Interstate Commerce COM
mission, where it is understood the
question will be fully discussed and a
report made to the president as to the
legal possibility of carrying out the
suggestion made.

FARMERS UNION OF MISSISSIPPI
TO INSIST ON GOOD
PRICES.

JACKSON, Miss, July S.-Nearly
every county in Mississippi is repre-
sented by local officials of the Farm
ers' union at a meeting here today
called for the purpose Of discussing the
policy of the organization in regard to
the cotton crop and the percentage to
be held in the event of low prices.
The warehOusing of cotton will also
be brought up for discussion, and in
this connection the campaign for the
erection of farmers warehouses is
making splendid progress. During the
past 80 days new warehouse compa-
nies have been launched, and a large
number are in immediate prospect, to
be erected in time for storing the sea-
sons crop.
President Hightower feels confident
that with a good system of ware
houses and the aid and support from
banking institutions that has been
pledged. the organization can succeed
in holding the bulk of the seasons crop
and marketing it at periods to be
agreed upon by the organization; that
ample provisions can be made to
finance distressed cotton, and the hold
ing movement will meet with a much
larger degree of success than last year.

PICNICkERS DUMPED INTO
DEEP CANYON JULY FOURTH
Auburn Young Folks Meet Disaster.
Four Slightly Injured.

AUBURN, July S.-Twentv-tWo
picnickers were dumped into a
canyon Is feet deep Saturday night.
when the wagon in which they were
returning from Stones Landing left
the road on a curve and rolled over
and over. Four of the girls, Miss Mvr-
tie Luke, Miss Harper, Miss Nuesane
and Miss McDaniels, sustained INJURIES
that will keep them indoors for some
time.
The party left Auburn early Satur-
day morning to spend the Fourth of
July on the Sound. The big school
wagon was used. Six young men
were included in the crowd. They
spent the day in merrymakinng and as
night came on started on their return
trip. The road is none too good and
the night was dark, the sky being
overcast with clouds.
At several points, the road has been
partially washed away by the high
water and it was at such a place that
the vehicle slid over the embankment.
The boys and girls were all tumbled in
a heap. Sixteen escaped without so
much as a scratch. They set to work
at once relieving as best they could the
four injured ones.
They were taken to the hotel at Re-
dondo Beach whence doctors hastened
from Auburn. All have been brought
to their homes here and are making
satisfactory progress now.

SAW CLOTHING
FLOAT AWAY
SAD FATE FOUR ITALIANS s
WHO WANTED TO CROSS
SNAKE RIVER.

What was feared would turn out to
be a wholesale suicide, murder. or fatal
accident, has cleared up in a rather
laughable episode, funny for all except
those concerned. Word came to Deputy
Sheriff John Cummings at Wallula the
other day. that a raft had been caught
by some squaws, upon which was the
clothing of four men, together with
some personal property.
Deputy Cummings hurried at once to
the scene of the trouble and there
found out the true status of the case,
which was as follows:
Italians, wanted to cross the Snake
river but had no boat. They decided to
swim, but didn't want to get their
clothing wet, so they made raft and
put their clothes on it, They intended
to use the raft in helping them
across, but while they were getting
ready, the raft in some way slipped it's
moorings and went down the river of
its own accord The river is high at
this time and the current swift, and
the four saw their clothes disappear,
thinking they would never see them
again.
They secured some more and went on
their way, being last heard of at Pasco.
Their garments are being held for them
in case they want them.
