Reduces the Lumber Rate From thu
Northwest.

Important reductions in the freight
rates on lumber and articles manufac.
tured therefrom, including building ma.
terials, between the Pacific coast and
the east are to be put into effect by
the Southern Pacific and its connections
as soon as the necessary tariffs can be
prepared and filed with the interstate
commerce commission.
The reductions are the direct result
of the enforcement of the orders of
the interstate commerce commission in
the Northern Pacific coast lumber rate
cases, wherein the rates from Oregon
and Washington to the east were re.
duced. The rates will provide for a
reduction of from to Is cents a hun
dred pounds; for example, the rate on
lumber, laths, timber and articles tax.
ing the same rate to Chicago is 70
cents. The new rate will be 60 cents
To New York the old rate is 90 cents
the new rate rs cents. The rates on
sash, doors and blinds and other build
ing materials to New York will be re.
duced from 80 to rs cents, and similar
reductions will be made to all points
and destinations named in the tariff.

Two Theories of Cause.

The noise of the explosion was an
ominous summons to all the people of
the town and they hurried to the shaft
house.
The cause of the explosion has not
been determined. Two theories are
entertained: One is that pocket of
gas was struck by one of the miners,
quickly filing the workings and then
igniting from lamp. The other theory
is that gas from well on the farm
under which the mine is located pene-
trated the workings. The land in the
vicinity is said to be gaseous and it is
possible gas may have seeped through
the coal stratum until it accumulated
IN sufficient volume to cause the dis
aster.

Mine Belches Smoke.

Immediately following the explosion
a dense column of smoke issued from
the shaft and it was feared fierce fire
was raging at the bottom of the mine.
A short time afterward the smoke al
most ceased.
Rescue work was started Immediately
Inspector Louttit assuming charge, but
it was impossible to gain entrance to
the mine for long time. The opening
of the shaft was the only solution, and
for this task there were volunteers in
numbers sufficient to work short relays
of as many men as could find room for
operation.

More than 100 men were killed by an

of miners.
The officials of the company assert
that the number of men entombed will

scene say larger number were in the
mine when the explosion occurred.
About so of the victims, it is re
ported about the mine, were either
American or English-speaking men, A

Inspection Was Completed.

The workings in which the catas.
trophe occurred are known as the Rachel
and the Agnes mines, in reality double
mine, with underground connections.
Construction work was practically fin
ished and Deputy State Mine Inspector
Henry Louttit, few minutes before the
explosion, had completed two days
inspection, which had revealed no cause
for apprehension.
So great was the force of the explo
sion that shattered portions of the
woodwork about the mouth of the
shaft were blown into Ten Mile creek,
1000 feet away.

THE PORCUPlNE.
Is His Liking For Salt an Acquired
or a Natural Tastef

Is His Liking For Salt an Acquired
or a Natural Tastef
Some men who were camping in the
Adirondacks several years ago on
breaking camp in the autumn left I'm
old tub which was saturated with
salt brine. On returning to the same
camp the next year they found that
the tub had been gnawed until little of
it was left They were not long in find
ing out what animal had done the
work, for the camp was overrun with
Canadian porcupines. At night they
became such nuisance that the camp
ers were obliged to kill them to protect
their property. The handle of a paddle
was gnawed half through.
The explanation of their presence in
such numbers during that year. when
they had not been noticeably abundant
in the previous year, is that they had
made rendezvous of the camp. being
attracted by the old brine tub On
this they Toasted all winter and for
that reason We're greatly pleased with
the locality.
An interesting query is this: Is the
liking for salt an acquired or a natural
taste? Were they ever able to crafty
that taste to any extent before man
gave them chance to do so?-St. Mich
olaS.
