The Taliaferro
Naval Stors Bill Again.

The bill introduced by Senator Tai
iaferro. and designed to provide for
the inspection of naval stores, seems
20 be not such a one-sided matter
after all.
In an interview published elsewhere
il today's paper, President T. A. Jen-
nings. of the Williams Naval Stores
company, holds that the bill would
practically ruin the naval stores eX-
port business in Pensacola, and that
il would AFFECT seriously the whole
naval stores trade itself-a trade
which just now is in a very bad con
dltion.
If Mr.. Jennings'S position is cor
rect-and it appears to De a reason
able Interpretation of the effect of
the bill-the measure should be re-
vised so as to eliminate the objec-
tionable features.
There seems to be every reason for
going slow in this matter which means
so much to Pensacola and to the in
dustry in which Pensacola IS SO heay-
lily interested.

Pensacola'S Good
Showing for 1908.

Statistics compiled giving various
Il ansactions in Pensacola during the
year 1908. show unequivocally that
the panic had but little effect on the
progress of the city. Pensacola has
held its own from a business stand
point while it has gained in popula-
ton and in the activities which an
increased population always brings.
There Is no better index of the
growth of a city than tle stamp sales
st the postoffiee. These sales last
year amounted to 61.2T2.21. as
against $54.1S1. 80 for 1907 This was
a gain of S7.09O.71-a little over Is
per cent. This would have been a
large Increase under dnv cirCum-
stances. II is especially significant

IS
MUCH PLEASED
WITH CITY Aso FAR GROUNDS
william Bishop of jefferson Makes In
spectiOn of State Property and
Promises Help.

William Bishop, representative in
the legislature from Jefferson county,
one of the old timers in the house. was
in North Yakima Monday looking
over the state fair property. He came
here with DR.. ]. S. Kloeber, of Green
River Hot Springs, president of the
state fair commission, and was greatly
impressed with the value of the state
fair property and more impressed with
the fact that the fair here can be
made, what it should be, a state and
not sectional affair. Now that the
population of the Yakima and Kittitas
valleys has grown to such proportions
as the counties at present boast, and
now, also, that railroad communica-
tons are improving, and that street
car connection with the grounds has
been established, Mr.. Bishop thinks
that the work of making the fair state
wide in its scope will not be so diff
cult. He thinks also that very wise
selection was made when DR.. Kloeber
was appointed to the board and be-
lieves that he will impress the fair
needs very strongly upon the people
of Washington.
Tribute to Late Senator.
Mr.. Bishop paid a high tribute to
the late Hon. S. j. Cameron and the
work he did in the senate and the
house for the people of Yakima and
the Yakima valley. In choosing a sue
cessor to Mr.. Cameron, he said, the
people would need to select the strong
est available man. The senate is no
place, especially for Yakima county,
to which to send a weakling or a man
representing special interests. The
senator must represent the entire peo-
pie of the county, though under the
present primary election law it is easy
for the candidate representing special
interests, especially if there be several
candidates, to get the nomination. Be-
| lieving that the state fair can and will
| be made one of the strongest attrac-
| tons Washington has to offer, Mr.
| Bishop thinks that the people of this
county in selecting a successor to Mr.
Cameron should select a person who
will be able to impress upon the senate
the claims of the fair for state consd-
GRAFTON. Mr.. Bishop, though he was in
North Yakima a year ago, said he was
astounded at the work done in the
meantime in the way of city improve
ment and especially in the way of cree
ton of substantial buildings.

MINE VICTIMS
FOUND DEAD
NONE RECOVERED ALIVE MONDAY
Men Taken from Wrecked Mine on
Monday Had Succumbed to
Inevitable.

CHERRY, ILL.,, Nov. ga man
taken from the mine late today was
at first thought to be alive but after
being rushed to the hospital car he
was pronounced dead Wild scenes
followed the carrying of the supposed
live man to the car. Soldiers had to
force the crowd back. Twenty
other bodies were carried from the
shaft to the improvised morgue.
The situation to date stands:
Trapped in mine, 80; rescued
alive, 20; bodies recovered today, AZ;
bodies previously recovered, SO; un-
accounted for, 1879. Efforts to reach
men possibly still alive in the st.
Paul mine were made in two drec-
lions today, each and west. In the
latter second attempt was made at
the third or bottom gallery at the
earnest request of Duncan Melon
aid, district president of the United
Mine Workers, and other officers Of
his organization. Efforts to explore
the underground continued with I'M
abated vigor.
The first ray Of hope came wher
the men in the east workings broke
through a fall of earth behind which
experts believed large number OF
bodies would be found. Not one wa.
discovered. Instead in u tool closet
many mining implements were found
as laid down, apparently when the
men came there to eat. The fact i:
regarded as significant that no
dinner pail remained. Il
was argued that the men, being un
able to escape, retreated to some ex.
tremity of the mine carrying the foot
with them. The next ray of hope
came with the discovery at the bot
tom of the west gallery which wa!
not sufficiently flooded to impede
progress.

NEW ENTERPRISE OPENED.
Full Complement of Experienced Help
and Up-tO-date Machinery.

The Partisan Dye Works is the
name of a new concern just opened
for business i'm the old laundry at 1877
South Second street. F. l.. Washburn
and V. l.. Spring, two enterprising
young men are at the head of the bus
mess. These gentlemen feeling there
was an opening for a large establish
ment of this character, showed their
faith in the scheme by purchasing a
lot of the best machinery in the lines
of cleaning and dyeing that they were
able to get. This mas been installed
and skilled workmen put in charge,
and new business is wanted to keep
it running. Not satisfied with the
idea of waiting for business TO come
to them they have purchased a tasty
wagon outfit and are now soliciting
in all parts of the city.
The equipment is one of the best
in the northwest and there is little
doubt but the North Yakima public
will appreciate a plant of this magni-
tude by sending any fabrics that need
cleaning or dyeing to the Partisan Dye
Works.
