CHAPTER XIII.
THE MASTER DIVER.

~HILIP had FASTENED to the
III scene of the accident. As
III they steamed along on the tug
~ one of the men explained what
had happened. A barge loaded with
copper ore had been run into by
ferrybOat early that morning and sunk
in fifty feet Of water Off Eighteenth
street.
Atkinson had gone down to put
chains under the barge so they could
get her up. Four times he had sig
nailed them to lift. and four times they
had tried and failed. He had been
down over three hours.
Philip shuddered. In fifty feet of
waterw He knew that two hours at
such depth was full days work for
the strongest diver with the brain
throbbing under an air pressure Of
many tons.
Come" he cried as they drew up
to an ugly wrecking scow anchored
in midstream-"come. get the suit
on me quickr' Three of the crew
worked swiftly and silently dressing
him, for no diver can dress himself.
go into the cabin and fetch me
my knife" Philip said to one of the
men.
Slowly he lifted his heavy feet over
the side and standing on the ladder
bent forward on the deck, face down,
as a man would lav his neck on the
block The helpers made fast around
his waist the hundred pound belt of
lead that would presently sink him to
! the bottom. and under his arms they
| fixed the life line moose. Then they
! brought the copper helmet with its
three google eyes and screwed it fast
to the collar. leaving the face glass
out for last word.
Here's your knife" said the helper,
/ holding out leathern sheath to
Philip.
Look sharp now" he ordered.
And when you get the signal to lift.
! lift fast. Ready.
AS he spoke two men began turning
at Il wheeling air pump. while third
! screwed on the face glass which cuts
/ off a diver from the outer world.
He sank with roar in his ears,
/ sank with his total weight of nearly
400 pounds. and presently landed safe
on the deck OF the sunken barge. He
groped along the deck. searching for
the hole in the hnroe's side.

PULLMAN MAN FOR CONGRESS

! Friends of Hugh C. Todd, repre-
sentative from this district in the
lower house o fthe state legislature,
have suggested his name for con-
gress to succeed Miles Poindexter,
who will be a candidate for United
States senator. The Herald believes
this is a mistaken move and will re-
lsult in injury to Mr.. Todd, instead
of benefitting him. The Herald is
! friendly to Mr.. Todd, who is a grad
uate of Washington State College
and is a bright young man. Todd
cannot be elected to congress- We
doubt If he can come as near to be-
| ing elected as did BILLY" Goodyear,
! of ColfaX, who has been a leader of
eastern Washington democracy for
many years, and Goodyear did not
even come close. He had hard work
to get into the "also ran" class.
To put up young man like Hugh
| Todd and sacrifice him in a hope
/ less race for congress, would not be
right. Hugh can easily be re-elect-
ed to the house of representative and
might be elected senator from this
! district. He might find difficulty in
! defeating Oliver Hall, who is sug-
gested as a possible candidate on the
republican ticket, but we believe he
would have little difficulty in defeat
ing either of two other republicans
who are mentioned for senator
should either of them land the re-
publication nomination. Mr. Todd
can do a good work in the state leg
is lature, either in the lower house
or in the senate, but he cannot be
elected to congress from this dis
trict and it is mistaken friendship
which would urge him to make the
race.
This is a republican district. 1t is
overwhelmingly republican and moth
ing but a landslide would elect a
dem ocrat. Whitman county has good
material for congress in the republi-
can ranks. w. l.. LaFollette, of
Pullman, would make a good con-
gresham and he would make a
strong race. If he could land the
nomination he would be elected. 1t
is not likely that Spokane can get
both congressman and senator and

torial race, Spokane should not Of
/ fer candidate for the lower house
! of congress. With Bob" LaFollette
/ in the United States senate and
I"Will'' LaFollette, his cousin in the
lower house, there would be a strong
/ team and eastern Washington
would be in a position to ask for re-
cognition. If we are going to sug-
/ gest Pullman man for congress let
us suggest man who has some chance
of election and The Herald can think
of no one more fitted for the posi-
ton than Hon. w. L. LaFollette, of
/ this place.

Railroad Traffic Extremely Heavy

In the language of Depot Master
John Shields yesterday, Every train
rolling up to the Union Passenger
station arrives in two or more sections
and every car in each train is crowded
to the limit with travellers headed in
every direction. OF COURSE" said Mr..
Shields, THE grerter number are
colonists and homeseekers looking for
eligible locations in the west and north
west, but behind or supplementing
these is an army of tourists doing the
west. Our facilities at the depot are
crowded to the limit in caring for these
people and it requires the united efforts
of all employees to keep things moving
smoothly throughout the day.
''As soon as the new cracks are com
pleted, however, things will move more
smoothly. An alcove will extend across
the twelve tracks on the west side of
the depot and cement walks and gates
around each train will protect passen-
gers from danger and congestion. The
sheds will assist materially and expect
before winter sets in that everything
will be in splendid shape for travellers
all around the depot grounds. Ogden
