Real Nice

Here is the evidence that v. H.
McNutt didn't fool away any time
at the School of Mines and Metal
lurgy at Rolla last winter. He has
been appointed Student Assistant
at a salary of SIS per month for
nine months When you consider
the position being worth as much
as the salary, it is a pretty good
thing as well as a big compliment.
Congratulations.

Important Assessing Decision

The suit brought by White Pine

taxes for the year 1907. assessed against

the grounds that the assessment rolls

tidal wave and fire, recorded in the history of the world, occurred at
an early hour Monday morning, December %, before the people
generally we're up, in the three provinces of Cozensa, Catanzaro and
Reggie di Calabria, comprising the Department of Calabria. which
forms the southwestern extremity of Italy, and in Sicily, an island
in the Mediterranean southwest of Italy, containing seven provinces
Catania, Syracuse, Caltanissetta, Palermo, Girgenti and
Trapani, whose chief cities are Palermo, Catania and Messina.
The latest estimate of the number of dead is placed between
1OOO 900 and 10000.
Horror of the Disaster Grows
Rome, December 3O.-The details of one of the most appalling
disasters recorded in the history of the world are being unfolded in
the dispatches coming in to-day from Calabria and Sicily. 1t is a
story of understandable horror and calamity. The earthquake Of
Monday wrought havoc and destruction that cannot be estimated.
Italy is stunned by a visitation described as the greatest disaster in
the memory of living man. Yet the full measure of the catastrophe
has not been taken. The calamity grows with the receipt OF fresh
dispatches from the south. Calabria is dotted with small towns
and villages, and new localities are reporting almost hourly casualty
lists that run from the hundreds into the thousands.
1t is still impossible to reach any accurate estimate OF the
dead, but the total number is placed at anywhere between lOO,Ooo
and 10000.
In some quarters it is declared that the final numbers will
be as high as 100000 persons.
One-half Of the population of Calabria and Eastern Sicily
apparently has persisted.
Countless thousands of injured men. women and children are liv-
ing in the ruins. 1t 8 impossible to succor all Numberless injured Of
the survivors who have made their way to other cities are still with
out medical attention. The facilities for proper care, even in the
cities that did not suffer. are inadequate. The devastated district
is still filled with half-demented survivors, starving and wandering
|aimlessly in the rain. The ruins ar still burning.
King Victor Emmanuel and Queen Helena arrived in Messina
this morning They both personally went to work to aid the injured.
Their example has been awonderful inspiration to the whole country.
Every possible thing is being done to forward the work of relief, but
the railroads into the afflicted sections have been put out of
operation.
Bagnara, a town of 10000 people north of Reggie, is reported
as annihlated. The entire population is said to have persisted.
Reggie, a city of $4,000 people, has been practically demolished.
The detailed stories of the refugees only add horror upon
horror 10 the caamiies of the Hateful day.
Fresh earth shocks were experienced last night at Pisso in
|Calabria, and in Palermo. They were not severe.
