THAT VICE
IS A TRAIN
WRECKER

DENVER, Dec. IA special
committee of railroad employees to-
day sent to DR.. r. w. Corwin a
contradiction of his recent state
ment that railway wrecks are gen
orally brought about by employees
who drink, gamble and indulge in
other forms of dissipation and not
because they are overworked."
The reply says:
while this gratuitois and I'M
warranted attack is not confined
to any particular branch of the
service, and while perhaps it Is
given too much notice, it is so gen.
orally unfair that it has caused
some little discussion and feeling
that possibly it warrants a public
denial
Corwin is the division surgeon of
the Missouri Pacific railway at
Pueblo, Colo. He made the re-
marks in speech delivered No

EDDY TOUCHED THE BUTTON AND THE APPLE SHOW IS OPEL
PACIFIC COAST STATES WILL
PULL TOGETHER IN CONGRESS
ng the high Offices Of state.

ing the high Offices Of state.
Among the issues already men
toned the advent Of the govern
ment into irrigation is the most
important event in the material
development of this coast.
I'VE are especially interested in
the Improvement of interior navi-
gabl waterways and in forest pres
ervatfon.'
With only third greater
coast line, the Atlantic coast has
16 huge dry docks, while the Pa
cific coast has only three; two at
Bremerton and one at Mare island
and fhe privately owned dock at
the Union Iron Works, San Fran
cisco, Recently the big 516 foot
dry dock of solid granite, which
was begun nine years ago at Mare
island was completed at a cost Of
$1.45G,00O.
That other docks are urgently
needed is shown by the fact that
during the recent visit of the fleet,
it was necessary to put three tor
pedo boats at once into the same
dry dock, for repairs. These are
shows in the above illustration.
With one exception, more repair
work ION war vessels has been
done ,at Mare island than at any
navy yard in America. In addition
the training ship Intrepid, the
steel scoIlier Prometheus and the
wooden ships Kearsarge, Mohican
and Saranoe were built there. An
other 500 foot steel collier will be
begun in a few months.
During the past summer the
yard gave employment to 5000
men. the yard has upwards of 100
large Buildings used as shops and
store houses, many of them 400
feet long. All the shops are equip
ped with modern ship building ma
chinery. In addition there are
marine barracks, naval hospital
and magazine plant. The cost Of
the entire Mare Island plant ag-
gregates $14,000,000.
Another huge dry dock, 752 feet
long and 102 feet wide, which will
be completed in four months, will
accommodate the largest battle
ships of our navy.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. t.
Characterizing his enemies as
character assassins and declaring
them the worst enemies Of tho
labor movement, President Lewis,
of the United Mine Workers of
America, in a statement today to
the United Press announced his In
tention of exposing them before
the delegates at the next national
convention.
He says he will not at present
name the ones to whom he refers,
but the masks will be torn OF at
the next convention. He says:
TOO much time has been spent
in building up the miners organi-
cation to permit selfish. prejudiced
and personal enemies to destroy it.
The workers will know the facts In
due time. Those attempting to in
jure my name and reputation will
pay the penalty"

A BABY BOY WITH
BRIGHT BLUE EYES

bright boy baby, age five months,
at the Orphans Home OF Spokane,
E10 Liberty avenue, is awaiting a
homo In some good family ard the
receipt Of that parental love that
was denied It by its own parents.
The large blue eyes Of the little
wait danced with pleasure this
morning as a caressina hand was
extended.
With goo goo" that cannot fail
but to win the little fellow warm
place in some childless home, the
babe seemed eager to manifest his
approval of the attention shown
him.
The mother brought the child to.
Mrs. l. m. Dey, superintende OF
the home, Saturday. She said she
was married before she was is and
her husband was only II. After
they were married year and the
baby came they found that the ex-
actions of domestic life were more
than they cared to assume, so they
agreed to give up the effort.
The father seemed to care but
dttle for his young son and few
weeks ago deserted the mother and
babe, after telling the mother he
did not care for them and believed
he had married too young.
The mother seemed to share the
same opinion rs to her own status
and made no effort to longer In
duce her husband to remain with
her. After vainIy trying to induce
some friends to adopt her little
son she took II to Mrs. Dsy and
said she never wanted to see II
again; that she was going back to
her old home in Montana and Mrs.
Dey could do with the child what
she thought best.
Mrs. pey now wants to place the
abandoned little one with some
family that will educate It and give
Il good home.

Is Waiting for Someone to
Open Her Heart
to Him.

Did you ever see sweet, tender
babe nesting to the mother for the
care II knows instinotively she will
give IL?
And have you seen the baby en-
joying the fond embraces of a
proud father?
Everybody has seen this most
beautiful picture Of human life, of
course.
But have you seen babe with
these same instincts Of budding at
lection seeking vainly for someone
to satisfy II, wasting the fragrant
essence of Its helpless being?
Have you looked into eyes not
long opened on the world and its
wonders, that search every face
with infantile usefulness and ex-
pectation Of tho loving attentions
that are its>birthright?
When you do you will realize
that the greatest crime Of human
ity today Is being committed
against the children-the crime OF
deprivlns SO many Of the home
nests they require.
Perhaps you have home that
has not been blessed by the soften
Ing influence Of baby love. And
possibly you would like to open
that home to little stranger
whose heart tendrils are waiting to
entwlne themselves with the frs,
affection rendered II.

APPLE KING
REICNS IN
SPOKANE
Greatest Exhibit of the
Kind Ready for Inspec-
ton in Spokane.

Pandemonium broke loose this
morning about 1890 o'clock. 1t
wasn't New Year demonstration,
which it sounded much like, but
the signal for the Inauguration of
the worlds first apple show, made
in Spokane, and which will con-
tinue until Saturday night. The d.
rect cause of all this sudden and
for time disconcerting racket was
President Roosevelt himself.
Although thousands of miles
from Spokane, one light touch by
the president made more noise out
here than had the coast been at
tackled by feet. The first Motif
cation of time for things to start
came when Fire Chief Myers, with
watch out, and gazing at the huge
fire gong in the central station,
which responds to every toot Of
the gigantic whistle, announced to
the fire lads surrounding him, Its
time to start" At that instant the
big whistle began to toot, signify
ing that the forefinger of the presi-
dent was drumming upon the tele-
graph key in the White House.
Every mill and manufacturing
plant in the city, and The Press,
had man ready to start whistles
when the signal came from the fire
station. At the first toot there fol-
lowed whistles footing in every key
known to whistles.
At the apple show building on
Second and Mcclellan all was in
tense excitement. There was some
fear the stress of official business
might cause the nations chief ex-
ecutive to be late. But the strenu-
Gus president as usual was Johnny
on the-spot, and a CULVER of his
being quickened into life the apple
show designed to place the great
red apple, the yellow and the green
one, at the head of American pro-
ducts.
At the first toot of the fire whis-
tie muscles relaxed, the apple show
doors were thrown open, and the
crowd, which must have numbered
thousand people, crowded into
the show buildings.
The sight that treated the ex-
pectant eyes will always be remem-
bered. People have seen almost
all sorts of apples and carloads of
them, but, until the apple show
opened, it would baffle the imagi-
nation to portray such an exhibit
ton as that presented here. The
possibilities of the apple for artis-
tic designs was the first impress
sion. But 1t soon gave way to won
der at the brilliant mingling of
colors. Then the sense of smell
was appreciatively tickled, and
then the taste until the impulse to
initiate Adam and eat an apple was
almost too strong to withstand An
the mention of Adam brings to
mind an exhibition which Eastern
Montana has sent with c. /. Gard
ner of Billings. 1t is clever IL
fusion made by Mrs. Gardner out
of corn ears, husks, small apple
tree with real apples growing on it.
1t is Eve, attired in directoire
gown and displaying shapely
ankle, plucking the apple from the
tree and Adam sitting by, looking
on in masculine expectancy. The
snake isn't around. The entire
work is done in corn and apples,
branches. etc, and at first glance,
and really until careful inspec-
ton, appears to be painting of
unusual merit.
