wAsHou1s STOP TRAFFIC
Many Trains Stalled on the Canadian
Pacific.

Winnipeg, Man, Sept. Fifteen
passenger trains, besides all freight
and stock trains, on the Canadian Pa
citic between Winnipeg and Fort Will
lam are held up at way stations and
sidetracks between these two points
as the result of cloudburst that flood
ed the main line between Horner and
Ignace. 1t is stated by railway men
to be the worst disaster of the kind
that ever happened in Western Can
ada. Not a train has reached Winni-
peg from the East and 10000 people
are being kept waiting at points along
the line. In addition to this Eastern
mails are held back for sixty hours,
as is mail going East and all express
matter is likewise delayed for this pc
riod. Earl Grey, governor general of
Canada, and party are on one of the
late trains and other passengers. are
made up of business men, commercial
travellers, tourists and immigrants. AS
the result of the sudden cloudburst
bitches and cuts along the road filled
almost instantly and water raced
along the tracks at a speed which
swept away surface material and un-
dermined ties to such an extent as to
render traffic impossible.
There are two big washouts at SEQ
vile, east of Kenora, besides several
smaller ones between that point and
Rennie. AS the result of the tracks
being washed out at Deception six
boarding cars filled with people at
that point were thrown into the ditch.

International Naval Conference.
The international naval conference
which will be held in London in Oc-
tober may prove to be the most i'm
portant and productive meeting in
which the worlds principal powers
have taken part since the famous
gathering Immediately after the Cri-
mean war; which resulted in the abo-
lition of privateerfng. American in
terests ut the conference will be repre-
sented by Rear Admiral Charles II.
Stockton and Professor George Graf
ton Wilson Of Brown university. Both
are eminent authorities on interna-
tional and maritime law. Rear Ad-
miral Stockton was president of the
Naval War college at Newport ten
years ago and was afterward attache
at the American embassy in London.
Professor Wilson has filled the chair
Of political and social science at Brown
university for twenty years and has
been lecturer on international law at
the Naval War college for the last
eight years.
The delegates from each nation will
go to London prepared to work up
their own cases. If they have any
principles which they desire incor-
porated into international law they
will formulate them for adoption. The
United States has for a long time
tried to secure immunity from capture
at sea Of all private property not con-
traband of war. Thus far we have
not succeeded The American dele
cation at The Hague last year worked
for it. 1t is hoped that the coming
conference will frame rule Of law
governing such cases in the interna-
Honal prize court.

Tho College Woman.

Ehe most advanced feminine re-
formers should be highly gratified
with the progress now being made by
the young college woman described by
President G. Stanley Hall of Clark
university. As for President Hall
himself, he does not seem overjoyed
when he views the modern college wo-
man. In an article in Appleton's Mag
azine he says:
Her triumph over the old limitations of
her sex is SO complete that a young man
whom know and who longed to offer his
heart and hand to one Of them hesitated
and finally withdrew from the high. chiv-
alric motive that he would rob the large
social circle which she adorned by tempt
ing her to become a housewife.
''The independent, self sufiicing
bachelor GIRL" free, socially charming
and sometimes positively inspiring"
Is the ideal product which President
Hall would have of colleges ofhcered
by women, now, alas, too subject to
"a denatured intellectual regimen"
He criticises presidents of various
colleges for women for extolling the
graduate who becomes boarding
school principal or the head of a school
for native girls in upper Egypt or one
who, while not excluding the episode
Of homemaking, evolves plan of life
with an ultimate aim somewhere in
the intellectual and spiritual spheres.
None Of the spinster presidents speaks
of the promotion Of health as impor-
tant to, college education, while DR..
Hall submits that this should be para
mount. in the interest Of the young
woman's bodily, nervous, mental and
emotional makeup. Instead the 'uni-
versitizing" professorling feeds her on
the pathological husks of English lit
erature; yokes her, in rhetoric, to the
trinity Of purity, precision and pro-
priety; anatomizes her Latin, German
and French; dehumanizes her physics
and in general strangles the spirit that
lives with the letter that kills.
Sometimes, he admits, the college
young woman survives the denaturing
process, still buoyant and unfaded,
and it is reassuring to learn that, after
ALL in DR.. Hall's opinion, "good even
now predominates over evil in our
girls colleges"
Bisbee daily review., 1908-09-23

There seems to be no longer any
doubt about Poe and O'Leary were
murdered by the Yaqui Indians in the
vicinity of Moctezrma These men
were Americans, and as aley were
acquainted with the Yaam troubles in
Sonora it is not to be supposed that
they provoked any trouble with the
Indians who murdered them. Our ad-
vice to Americans going into the va
qui country is to be on their guard,
just as they used to be on their guard
when old Geronimo was making HE
bloody history By the murder of
Americans in Arizona twenty-five
years ago. This paper regrets very
much that the Yaqui troubles should
continue serious in Sonora. but we be-
Iieve that Americans should be warn
ed of the danger from the Yaquis and
we shall continue to sound the alarm,
as long as there seems to BE danger
Of losing life IN that country.
