Dangerous Explosives

Tha improper use of explosives
in coal mines is doubtless the
cause of many deaths that are
attributed to other agencies.
Vigorous objection is made TO
the use of black powder in any
mine where there is danger of a
gas or coal-dust explosion. The
operators and miners in such
mines are urged to use eXplo.
sives that have been tested at
the Surveys mine accidents
station at PIttsburg, Pa, aud
placed on the permissible" list.
Investigations at this station
have proved that the flame from
the explosion of black powder
lasts from $500 to 3, 500 times as
ioug as the flame from the newer
xblotiSes and is therefore more
likely 30 ignite gas or dust in
mines.

seAN 49, NeofOAeeAOA AoA oNApty
The additions from time to
time to the large death roll of
our mines make a recurring APP
peal TO the American public for
fair treatment of the coal-min
ing industry and to the miner
and the manager that they co
operate In every possible effort
for greater salty. 1t may not be
possible under existing condI-
tions to prevent all mine acci.
dents. Little may be done by
either the operators or the min
ers working alone, but expert
ence in all countries shows that
by hearty and determined CO.
operation of the two these acci-
dents may be greatly ur,luced.
This csn be accomplished only
by means of wise laws and regu-
lations based on fact and expert
encs, and by the strictest posi-
bie discipline.

who willed al o f his money and

fully as the entire fortune is to

If it be true that Charles Wat
ers died of starvation notwith-
ing the fact that he had prop
erty valued at $4,000, it shows
to an extent how money mad the
average citizen of this country
has worked himself up to. The
desire to be millionaires has be-
come so fixed upon the minds of
the average citizen of the United
States that he or she will go half
starved and naked in order to
some day be called a millionaire
to lay down and die and leave it
all to be scrapped out in the
courts.
Edward Corcoran is not pleased
because the leaders of the Mer-
camille Company do not hunt
him up and consult with him
about the Sullivan estate. Those
fellows hunted you up once
Uncle Edward and patted you
on the back until they had honey
fulged you out of all you had, if
you really had anything, and
they are not the kind that will
hunt up a dry COW and especially
when they know the COW is more
than likely to remain dry and is
too poor for the beef market.
The Mercantile Investment Com
pany will show you just Howe
the things are done in the wild
and woody West before you re-
member of getting any part of
the late John Sullivan estate.

one degree to another it took
him downward until he stood in
the pit charged with murder
in the first degree. He was per-
mitted however, to plead guilty
to murder in the second degree
and was given fourteen years.
He served his time and returned
to Seattle where for two years
or more he seemed to have prof
tied by his experience.
Now that the real facts about
the John Sullivan estate are
threatening to leak out, the
friends of Senator Sam H. Piles
are rushing into print saying he
is not interested in the estate.
Perhaps he is not at present in
terested in the estate because he
has already got his, but whether
he is or not connected with the
case, nevertheless it is going tc
hang over his political head like
Banquo's ghost.

courage Of his conviction. He
believes that Mr.. Bagley has out
lievd his day Of usefulness as
secretary of the board Of public
works and does not hesitate to
tell him to step down and out.
Of course Mr.. Bagley takes a
different view of the subject, as
do a majority of the members
of the board for that matter, but
Boullion is no coward and when
he thinks he is right he stands
by his guns.
If the statement of the father
of Fred Newell, the Kent lad,
that managed by a forged order
to run a grocery bill of $50 to
the effect that, the boy had done
a similar thing on another grocer,
be correct, then the father should
be punished for not keeping a
better account Of the boy. The
grocer should lose the entire bill
for permitting a lad of eleven
to run such a bill without in
quiring into it.
After considerable discussion

that it will hurt as much as if
the gates had have been closed

The fight that is being waged
against bill board advertising by
the newspapers seem to- have
considerable merit in it. For an
instance, if bill board advertis-

merchants and persons having
wares to sell to the public would
have the death, marriage and

instead of sending them to the

Stockers and Feeders,

The common little stock steers meet
small inquiry. Country demand for
these classes continues light, outside
buyers being mainly after steers which
show good breeding. Supplies of we'll
bred sttooih,T;; have aoeen quite small II
this week and it is evident that own
ers of such kinds are not free to sell
them these days with good pastures
only a few weeks off. Not many really
good heavy feeders however, are avail
able. Steers which had any flesh to
them generally found better outlet to
the killers than feeder buyers.
Dealers held few heavy feeders at
$5.25@5.50, but there We're not many
country buyers who would pay above
1928. Most Of the feeding steers
changed hands at s4.50@5.00 and the
selected light stockers ranged up tic
s4.75 and above. Common light feeders
went down around 81 and the bulk OF
stockers at 1915 @4.40, with common
and poor little odd lots down to $3.50

But General Cdrbin never was much
of a hand for commercial affairs. lie
didn't have enough of the instinct to
realize that the appearance of a dainty
little fawn- colored bossy on the White
House lawn would make a fine story.
Neither did he realize that everybody
would want a Jersey for his own front
lawn as soon as Mrs. Taft's initiative
should have set the fashion. The result
is that instead Of making about a mill
lion dollars a minute selling heifers of
positively the same strain and breed
ing as the justly famous White House
cow" the general is being forced to
make the 1lumiliating confession that
he hasn't enough even to make a start
at supplying the demand. "
This fad of keeping a milk cow on
your front lawn is going to be some-
thing fierce, they say. The Washing

about it, but the hay and fodder sharps
are looking forward to the best season

size Of a special delivery stamp are
worrying about whether Jerseys are
made in proportion, so they can keep
little ones to fit their circumstances.

down the table and MIXED by the
guests has been seriously considered

and horseback dinners have grown a
trifle monotonous.
But General Corbin is the man who
lost a fortune by not knowing enough
to reach for it when it was in his
grasp. He could have sold any number
of Jerseys if he had just had 'em. Ev-
