Exp,os,o. III Coal Mine Near Durango.

The town was excited yesterday . T.
ternoon at q O'Clock by the news that
an explosion had occurred at the
Champion Coal mins in the vicinity OF
the Standard smelter, two miles south
Of town. All kinds of talk and conf
ment Immediately set afioat and every
body got busy in an effort to ascertain
the facts. As soon as word could be re-
ceived, it was learned that the explo-
sion was caused by gss in the mine end
that three men had been caught.
Their names are: Pete .Lucatello,
Floyie Earrarri, &. a. Williams. The
latter of 5th avenue and the first two
being Italian5.
The former two were taken to Mercy
hospital where they are being treated
for the severe burns received. Lucatel-
10 was not hurt very much, and wac
able to walk OUT Of the mine as soon as
he recovered from the shock. He told
those outside and they telephoned to
Manager Logan, who with DIR. Lackey
rushed to the mine. They went in
and found Farrarri lying unconscious
in the tunnel beside the mule which
had been killed by the explosion.
Finding him yet alive, thsy dragged
him out OF the tunnel to the entrance
and coon revived him sufficiently to
take him to the hospital.
But np trace Of Williamg could be
found. They worked several hours in
an effort to locate him but the search
was fruitless. Their lamps were ex-
tinguished by the foul air and yet
they crept about on hands and knees
feeling for something which might re-
semble Q human form. 1T was awful,
and they kept this up until fearful,
Jest they themselves might be over
come. Then others took up the task
of searching, and at eleven o'clock
last night those pursuing the search,
came upon the body Of Williams about
75 feet from where the other was found.
His remains are practically unscarred,
and II is thought that he was stunned
by the explosion and In this condition
had groped around and wandered in
the wrong direction until finally he
succumbed TO sufiocation, dropped
over and died.-Wednesday's Durango

There are plenty Of rich locations on
the western slope where the foreign
grapes would THRIVE admirably and II
2eems strange that so many people
should be slow in planting them. A
soil of deep, rich loan with naturally
porous sub-soil, to allow the long,
searching roots to penetrate to the far
therest distance for plant food and
moisture is an ideal place OF which
there are thousands yet unoccupied.
All other conditions being equal, site
inclining gently to the southeast with
sufficient grade to irrigate nicely aud
drain readily is best. Not being direct
ly exposed to the hot afternoon sun Of
July and August, the fruit will have
less tendency to suffer from sun scald
as if the slope were directly south or
southwest, thus retaining p more even
temperature during the greater part of
the day and conforming gradually to
the change of temperature incident to
the naturally cool nights of Colorado.
Great care should be exercised in choos-
ing the varieties, taking only such
kinds as are best adapted to the climate
aud especially to the particular locality
where the vineyard may be desired.

Nurserymen usually offer two grades
Of trees, known as first class and second
class. The first class are clean, straight,
well grown trees; the second class are
those which are somewhat lacking in
size, or they may be fully as large as
the firsts, but crooked and less slightly.
Ifone is obliged to order from distance
it is advisable to get only first class
trees, but when q grower can visit the
nursery and make his own selections,
amply good trees of the second class
can often be obtained and OF course at
less cost. Of course the presumption
is against an understood tree, but it
may merely have been the victim of
crowding or some other untoward cirr
cumstances, the effect of which it will
quickly overcome under more con-
genial conditions. As for crooked
trees, some varieties tax the nursery ,
mans ingenuity to get anything like
fair proportion of them to grow with
straight stems for it is not their nature,
nor will they be rejected on that ground
by an intelligent grower. Most of the
trees now set out are but two years old,
that is, two years from the bud or
graft, but we rather favor the planting
of yearlings. OF course the two-year-
olds come into bearing sooner but it is
an open question whether they will
give any greater returns in series of
fifteen years or so as the yearIings can
he transplanted with less injury to
their root system and recover from the
operation more quickly than the older
trees, so they should go far toward
overtaking the latter as the years pass
by. Eastern people who see our or
chards are always surprised to see how
our young trees grow.

The Sentinel at Sites announces that
the business men of the town and the
farmers up on the flat between Sites
and Clearwater have started a move to
improve the Stites-Elk City wagon road
as far as Risbolt's, that being the point
where the improvement started under
the commission appointed by the state
two yeays ago. The present move
looks more particularly to improving
the grade out of Sites, and they have
about decided to macadamize the road
there.
A meeting of those interested was
held Monday evening of last week.
Joe S. Wilson was chairman and Theo-
dore P. Tollefson was made secretary
and treasurer. The president ap-

There IS great danger that the rich

object Of litigation again, and while
the long process Of sitting justice is go
ing on the mine and mill will remain

accounts, and the climax was reached
Tuesday when Mr.. Peck left for the

he would at once start suit in the dis
trict court TO secure a one-half interest
in the mine Peck claims to have let
ters from Adams, written before the
mine was bought from =. Il. Espey, in
which Adams agrees to give Peck a
one-half interest if the deal be carried

The Honeymoon snsnlai

The Honeymoon Special is the
latest invention of the man who sits
up nights to think of catching names
for trains. This one is run between
Chicago and the Pacific coast. It made
its first trip December Is, and will
repeat the performance according to
the state of the matrimonial market.
The trip is for 80 days, which has
led unfeeling persons to speak of the
passengers being sent up for that
period. Some plain ordinary folks are
carried partly as ballast and partly 10

RaiIroadIno In China.

China is menaced with a new peril.
Her railroads have begun to pay. Not
since mummies were burned for fuel
on the Nile railway has the Orient
been so seriously invaded. Hence
forth it is farewell to the idyllic peace
of the Chinese ruralism. If the sons
of heaven had refused to ride behind
the profane iron horse OF the foreign
devils they might have defended their
land from innovation to the last. Now
there is nothing for it but to submit
to having their rice fields cut up by
the steel rails. But one peculiar OPP
portunity remains for them to save
the credit of their country-by max
ing their railroads picturesque. If
they succeed in doing this, they can
be written down once more as having
achieved a complete novelty. The
train should furnish brand-new mo-
tive for that patiently elaborated ORR
entail art-bamboo passenger coaches
decorated with choice panel paintings,
pagodas turned to account as switch
towers and locomotive designs, SYM
bolic of the national dragon having
its tail twisted by European power.

ical waters are subject. A wide swath
must be cut through many of the isl
ands, while others must be laborious-
ly built up from below the sea level.
Much of the land crossed consists of
almost impenetrable swamp. Although
single-track road, the cost of con-
struction will probably exceed $780,
600 mile, or about SIS, 100000 for $50
miles of construction The idea of this
ocean railroad originated with Henry
M. Flagler, who will spare no expense
in making it success.
One of the most interesting parts of
the work to the lay mind is the pre-
cautions taken to safeguard the ex-
posed viaducts against the sea. The
viaducts will be built Of reinforced
concrete, resting either on deep piling
or solid rock. 1t has been found after
careful examination that the maxi
mum height of waves throughout
these waters is rs feet The railroad
will be kept at level of more than 80
feet above high water. The highest
waves known to this coast, therefore,
could not break over the top of the
viaduct. The engineers count upon
comparatively smooth water because
of the coral reefs which parallel the
track practically throughout the entire
distance. This natural barrier, al
though in many places below the level
Of the water, forms a breakwater
which turns back the toughest seas.

PENSIONS FOR OLD EMPLOYEES.
Grand Trunk Railway System Has
Inaugurated Good Scheme.

On the first of January. 1908, the
Grand Trunk Railway system put 8
new pension scheme in effect. At a
recent meeting of the directors in
London Mr.. Charles M. Hays, second
vice-president and general manager,
who is also president Of the Grand
Trunk Pacific railway, was able to
persuade the management that it
would be in the interest of the owners
OF this property to pension employees
who by old age and in other ways
were incapacitated. The sum of $780,
900 was set aside as nucleus OF the
pension fund, and it is proposed to add
to this fund $4,000 annually. By this
scheme the employees are not asked to
contribute anything to the fund, but
all will participate in this benefit from
the highest to the lowest. Under the
terms of the pension every employe
must retire at the age of IS years. Ii
an employee serves Is years or more
he is entitled to an annuity OF one
per cent. of the average annual salary
paid for ten continuous years. Thus,
if a man has served, say 80 years, re-
ceiving $1,000 per year for any ten
years, he would be entitled to one
per cent. of $1,000 multiplied by 80,
making a pension of $500 per annum.
Further provision makes a minimum
allowance of 5000 irrespective of the
rate of pay or service. The fund will
be administered by board chosen
from the employees of the railway. 1t
is expected that this will serve as an
inducement to train and engine
men to seek service with this rapidly
growing system.

OVER FLORIDA KEYS
MORE ABOUT WONDERFUL EN-.
CHEERING WORK.
Railroad, In Conjunction with Panama
Canal, Is Expected to Make
Key West One of Worlds
Great Harbors.

BY using tho Florida keys as STEP
ping stones a railroad is being built
over the open sea from the mainland
half way to Cuba. The railroad goes
to sea from a point below Miami on
the east shore and after crossing rs
miles of open water by bridge or via
duct and traversing AZ islands or keys
terminates at Key West.
1t will soon be possible to enjoy the
speed and luxury of modern railroad
travel practically out of sight Of land.
A great harbor is to be built at Key
West, where trains may be run direct
ly upon great floats which will carry
them to Havana in unbroken pack
ages. This direct connection with the
mainland, with its saving of Is hours
time in transportation, it is believed
will make Key West, with the opening
of the Panama canal, one of the great
est seaports of the country.
Engineers of the new road from the
first have been confronted by new and
battling problems. Much of the road
being far out at sea, will be exposed
