NEW YORK. Nov 15.--The up

" strengthened position of the banks

the coIroborative evidence OF rumors
of a coming copper combination en-
bracing most of the worlds producers
and sellers of that metal.
The action of the copper securities
was in itself strongly confirmatory
On the rumors.
No detailed information could be
secured of the plan in contemplation,
but that 1t loked 10 some such organi-
cation was involved in the United
States formation by an exchange OF
existing securities into these ola huge

bring within its scope the great Tor
eign copper producers as well as
those in this country was the current
assumption.
The general market was not at first
inclined to follow the movement IN
the coppers with any enthusiasm. The

Sentiment was more tranquil over the

ENTOMbED MINERS
Continued from First Page.)

yesterday at this time. The mine Is
too big and has too many ramnica-
tons to be filled with smoke yet. Be-
sides, the smoke is not carried DOWN
ward by any air currents. II the men
were alive yesterday every man may
be alive now.
Mr.. Earling caused house to house
canvass OF the miners to be made.
This showed 256 miners missing but
some of the families were not at
home and it is believed when a COM
plete list is obtained the number OF
entombed miners will exceed three
hundred.
Day Dawned Hopefully.
The day dawned hopefully. At an
early hour the main shaft. which had
been sealed since Saturday. was open
ed and determined effort begun by
the experts to release the living min
ers or drag the bodies from the
wreckage. Before O'Clock the crowd
assembled around the roped enclosure
and workmen broke the seal OF the
shaft. There was little smoke in evil
dence and this gave hope to the in
yestigators that the fire had been
smothered and that they would at
least be enabled to enter the mine.
Mine Examiner James Taylor, X.
Y. Williams and others appeared IN
their oxygen outfits and helmets ready
to descend. Several thousand persons
leaned forward eagerly as short
time later the expects emerged from
the shaft.
A report that bodies had been
found was denied by the investiga-
tors.
Explorers Found Nothing.
The cage was lowered again FIJI
teen minutes passed. Then a blast
of the horn signaling the ascent
echoed through the shaft The ex-
plorers reported that they had walk
ed in a vein of the mine for $50 feet
from the base of the shaft and that
they had found no living man or dead
body. The atmosphere In this vein
was considerably better than nad
been expected. With the aid of their
electric lanterns the searchers had
been able to see plainly.
In other veins leading from the
shaft. much smoke was encountered
and nothing could be seen. After
consultation It was determined to
start the ventilating fan at the op'
posite side OF the mine to clear the
galleries OF the smoke.
Some believed the draft might
arouse a simmering fire. Others fell
assured the fire had been smothereo
and that ventilation would clear the
galleries and make them psssable FOL
the searchers.
Fan Started Fine Anew.
In half an hour the fan was sud
denly ordered stopped. Smoke began
to pour from the main shaft. II was
soon learned that FIRE had broken ou'
afresh. Attempts to drown Il proved
futile 90 that il became necessar,
again to seal the shaft.

FOR PURE PRODUCTS.

DENVER, Jan. 21.-The Colorado
Dairymen's Association yesterday
took radical steps for the increase Of
the industry throughout the state and
for the enactment Of legislation that
will insure purity Of dairy products.
A committee on legislation was ap.
pointed and agreed upon the measures
to be submitted to the legislature.
These measures include appointment
Of olcal and state dairy commissioners,
registration of all herds and indiyidu-
al cows, the erection Of model dairy
plant at the state agriculture college,
the inspection Of cattle imported for
breeding and a system Of grading in
the dairy products.

taken in by the two stores will be
upwards Of $4,000, and when 1t is
considered that all Of this was paid
over in cash by Astoria men at a very
dull season Of the year 1t speaks
pretty well for the savings bank ae-
counts Of the town.
Seventeen thousand dollars is . big
sum Of money.
How the stores could sell at the
price they did has been matter Of
much discussion along the streets. It
Is pretty hard to figure how they
could. But it may be estimated Gust
for the purpose of making Q guess)
that the average selling price Of the
suits sold would be in the neighbor'
hood Of $40. The cost-that y, the
average cost price-might be 10 the
heighborhood Of say $l2 TO Sl4. There
fore the sale is at loss, but no big
loss.
But it may be that lot Of old,
though perfectly good stock, Is dis
posed Of, and ali sales are for CASH
The store can at once put in a $4,000
order for a new stock, and having the
cash to pay can get perhaps as low as
10 per cent discount. There is a big
gain right there. The gain made there
may fully equal the loss sustained BY
the actual underselling.
Ii is understood that both Of the
stores are going to put thousands OF
dollars into new stock right away, so
the city will be sure Of having the
best Of new things on hand.
"There won't be suit sold in AS
toria for the next six months" has
been remarked by scores OF men on
the streets during the week. Every
body has now got all the clothes he
needs for the next year"
Just as a little hint IT may be said
that the storekeepers don't figure that
way. They figure that the sale Of
suits this coming spring will be just
as large, If not little bit larger than
usual. Their reasons seem very CON
vincing, too, and it may be Of interest
to many to try to figure out how the
shrewd business men arrive at this
conclusion.

MERRY CLOTHING WAR
IS STILL ON
NEARLY EVERY MAN IN TOWN
BUYS NEW SUIT OF
CLOTHES

The little clothing war that has
been raging between two OF th'
prominent clothing stores during the
week has proven one Of the most di'
verting things that Astoria has rur
up against in a long time. First Of al
it has proven to the satisfaction Of the
women folk that men are just as liable
to be caught by the bargain counteI
fever as are the enthusiastic fair ones
themselves.
Last Monday morning one OF the
Commercial street clothing stores an
nounced "Any Suit or overcoat il
the store for $3.50"
Promptly rival store gathered it,
wits, and like a general meeting ar
unexpected attack, tried to turn The
enemys wing.
II announced "Any suit or over.
coat in the store for $l2, and altera'
tons and pressing free"
Then the war was on.
At first the men about town stared
then they began to think.
For $l2 or a little over they were
offered any suit or overcoat in the
stores. Some 'phoned home TO their
wives, who only gasped, Don't wait
hurry" for with true feminine in
stinct they grasped the situation in a
trice
Then the men hurried. They went
into the stores and began TO pick over
SIS, $40 and $50 suits-even $35 suits
and for only $12 or $3.50. They
saw the big bargains offered and did
not hesitate. Many purchased two
suits; some got two suits an an over
coat. One man purchased seven suits
or overcoats, while others bought
nearly as many.
! Then yesterday morning one Of the
stores came out with big half-page
advertisement dropping the price to
$40 for any suit or oyercoat and the
other store promptly met the cut by
coming down ten cents lower.
Again yesterday there was rush
Every man who could beg OF borrow
$40 bought a suit. Probably II will be
many year before there will be a
sale like this in Astoria again. The
amount Of money that passed hands
must be figured up into many thou
sands Of dollars. Probably each store
has sold upwards Of 500 suits, and
many over coats. Probably the sum

HIGH TIDES FLOODING
NUMEROUS CELLARS
SEVERAL DYKES ARE BROKEN
IN on THE LEWIS AND
CLARK RIVER.

The high tides the past few days
have attracted much attention al
along the waterfront, and many rs.
ports Of damages Of a minor nature
are being received. Numerous cellars
In the business part Of the city arc
flooded, and in some instances the
water has affected the contents Of the
cellars Commercial street cellars
we're included in the flooding. The
greatest damage reported Is at War
renton and along the Lewis and
Clark river.
On the Lewis and Clark quite .
number oi the dykes were washed out
in places, and while the damage is

II was also reported that as far up
las 0iney the high waters caused dam
Iage. for the dyke on the Benneeks
place there is said to have been brok-
en- in by the water.
The tide yesterday as indicated IN
the tables was o.s feet, while today i
lis indicated at even higher-0I But
because Of unusual circumstances the
water is rising very much higher
than the tables indicate, probably
both because Of the food Of water
coming down the river and as a re.
suit Of the southerly winds piling the
water up in the bay The actual tides
are perhaps IL feet. The water has
been only few feet below the docks
