ELECTRIC RAILWAY
FRANCHISE GRANTED

The county commissioners yesterday
granted the franchise asked by the
Gle Eum Roslyn Electric Railway q
Power Co, after considering the mat
ter for several days during which time
the franchise was taken up and care
fully studied section by section, the
hoard frequently calling for legal
construction of the language in which
the franchise was clothed. Many OBJ
jections were urged, particularly by
one member Of the board, but all were
carefully explained away and the final
action of the board was by unanimous
vote. During the consideration OF the
matter it was shown that the people in
the district affected were almost unan-
imously in favor Of granting the fran
chise, and it was this showing which
made it possible to secure an unani-
nous vote on the proposition
The franc hise which was granted to
Frank S. Farquhar, of Tacoma, as rep
resentative OF the company, permits
the company to use 10 feet Of the coun-
ty road between Roslyn and Gle Elum
and 20 feet on the county road for a
distance of some II miles above Rosl yn
as u right OF way for the electric line:
also to use 20 feet of the county road
for dintance of one mile south OF Gle
Eium-a total of about II miles.
The Gle Elum city council some time
ago granted franchise over the
streets of that city, and in all probable
lily the ROslyn city council will grant
the franchise through that city at their
next regular meeting. AT recent
mass meeting held in Roslyn it was the
unanimous sense Of the meeting, ex-
pressed by vote. that the council grant
any changes whatever, and this will
probably be done.
From A. S. Randall of Roslyn, who
was here ih the interest OF the electric
company, we learn that the snow is off
the ground there and that with the
granting of the franchise everything
will be in shape for the beginning Of
work on the project As the time
limit given in the franchise is short, it
is probably that no time will be lost in
beginning actual construction on the
road.
The electric railway as now projected
will be big thing for the section
through which it will run, and it is
considered certain that the line will
later be extended into the hills to tap
the rich mining districts tributary to
Roslyn. -Evening Localzer.

One other feature Of the plan must be
understood. Above the corridor which
connected the sides of the main "Ir,
through the second vein was a stable
In which fifteen mules were kept. This
stable and The main channels were
lighted by electricity, and standard pipes
were let down the hoisting shaft very
much as they are erected beside fire
escapes on sky-sCTapers. 50 that IL
there should be fire, hose could be
coupled TO them and the fire be fought
by the miners without waiting for help.
For this purpose a hose 200 feet long
was kept in the stable. There seems

engineers as dry" IT'S long. black

The smoke had meanwhile begun to

Some OF the men in the lower level

Mine timbers are large and slow

the hay caught fire they were six
inches thick and covered with bark.
But they had been Tagged" or re-

planks, and on this woodwork a coat

Mine Is Huge
Black Iron Structure.

From the train all one can see Of such
a mine is a huge black iron structure
standing out Of the prairie in all it's

Only coal comes 20 the surface and all
that is needed Is this ripple" to dump
that coal automatically into "gondolas'
underneath.
Sometimes you can see from your
Pullman window men walking to or
from the mine like ants. II their faces
are clean you know then they are going
10 their work. But If their faces are
as black as their caps and their dinner
pals swing, you know they have spent
their eight or ten hours underground
and are through for the day.
The law in Illinois undertakes 10 pro-
tect such wOrkmen from avoidable
danger. There must be two shafts not
less than 300 feet apart and one OF
them must be free for the escape OF
the men, the timbers must be Of speci-
fed strength. the blasung done under

only five years old. In 1894 agents Of

more than $4,000 was spent above the
cost OF the lald, before a ton Of coal
was brought tc the surface.
Two shafts were sunk 2IO feet part,
and both reached to a vein Of coal APP
proximately as far beneath the surface
as the Washington Monument is high
above it. a first vein was come upon
about a hundred feet down, but because
It was too thin or lacked IN quality or

gineers, a room and pillar mine At
