coal in this vicinity.
Every available barge and float has
been loaded with coal and at present
with almost twenty million bushels
in the Pittsburg harbor, the river
coal mines have been compelled to
shut down for the want of shipping
facilities. There are about l5,OOo
miners employed in river mines along
the Monongahelia valley. This great
fleet of coal is for the supply OF
points in the West and South and
the probabilities are there will be a
coal famine experienced, especially
in the Northwest, should conditions
prevent the shipment of the coal be-
fore cold weather sets in. In West
Virginia lumber plants, glass fac
tories and iron and steel mills, locat-
ed along the rivers, are closed on ae-
count of insufficient water. In
Eastern Ohio the same conditions
prevail and it is feared the great
iron and steel mills at Youngstown,
o., employing over 10000 men, will
have to suspend operations unless
the drought is speedily broken.

Livingston, Mont, Special.-Plow,

bound, a Chicago, Burlington &

the Northern Pacific Railroad, crash
ed head-on into a freight train at
Youngs Point, where the trains were
to pass and in the demolition that
resulted crowd of lives were crush
ed out and score of persons were in
Jured, several probably fatally. The
freight fagman failed to signal the
passenger in time to prevent the col
ision, it is said, because of the
binding snow. The express car
telescoped with the smoking car and
most of the fatalities and injuries
were of persons in the latter car. The
express car was raised over the plat
form of the smoking car and the su-
perstructure swept the seats away.
Not a passenger in the smoking ear
escaped death or injury.
Fireman Ora Babcock jumped and
was: killed. Milo Halloway, brake
man, was killed. The smoking cars
debris was hopelessly mixed with
heads, bodies, legs and arms, present

seven bodies were SO tightly wedged

age to crops and live stock; the re-
ported loss of a number of lives due
to fighting timber confagrations; the
enforced idleness of thousands of
workmen owing to the suspension of
manufacturing establishments be-
cause of lack of water; the health au-
thorities anticipate serious epi-
demic of contagious dieases and
many small streams dried up and

OF 1908 which has held western Penn
sylvania, eastern Ohio and West Vir-
glnla in its grasp for more than two
months remains unbrokep; each day
gradually increasing the seriousness
OF the unprecedented situation.
Three times during the excessive
dry spell there have been very slight
rains, accompanied by much light
ming and thunder, but the rain fall
was so slight that many persons
were unaware of the fact and were
only convinced that it had rained
when shown evidences of the same on
tin roofs.
Aside from the millions of feet of
timber destroyed and the daily loss
to manufacturers and farmers, prob
ably the most serious phase of the
situation is the threatened disease
epidemic. A majority of The popu-
!atlon of western Pennsylvania, east
ern Ohio and West Virginia are even
now suffering from throat affections
caused by the great accumulation of
dust and the heavy clouds of smoke.
In this city, used to smoke, the sun
IS almost obscured by smoke from
forest fires miles away and persons
