STATE
ROAD RE[O-
CATION
Up-River Residents Do Not
Want BleWett Route
Abandoned.

The residents of the upper Wenat-
chez valley are up in arms against
the proposed change of the survey
on state road No. Z.
We are against you, Wenatchee,
ii you are going to work for the
change in the location of the state
road other than by the Blewett
route said an up-river man to the
Daily World today.
Il see by your paper that the Com
mercial Club committee acquiesced
in the report of Engineer Copp re-
locating the route locally known as
the Observation-Disclosures road, by
way of the Colockum, but as far as
can find out your business men do
not favor that route. The one that
seems to be universally favored is
one that will traverse the entire We
natchee valley. 1t means big thing
for us and seems to me that If your
business men would get together on
the matter, the state highway COM
missioner could be forced to put the
road where it is desired. 1t looks to
me as though Sam Hill and State
Highway Commissioner Bowlby were
trying to be the whole show them
selves, locating the road wherever
they see fit, regardless of the wishes
of the people. Now, neither Mr..
Bowlby nor Sam Hill stand in any
too well with the State Good Roads
Association or the state organization
of county commissioners, and few
more high-handed methods of locat-
ing state roads, such as as attempt
ed to be made here in connection
with the location of state road No.
Z, will put both these men entirely
to the bad with the two big organi-
cations tending to good roads in this
state"
At Leavenworth, Peshastin, Cash
mere, Monitor, and all along the up
per Wenatchee valley, the residents
are very indignant at the proposed
change in the route across the Cas-
cades. Money is being raised today
in all of these points towards a pre-
liminary survey of the Blewett route
in order that the fight make be TAX
en- to the legislature if necessary to
secure the relocation of this road.
Able men are back Of the movement
and it is safe to say that large pro-
portion of the Wenatchee people will
join with the upper valley in any
route other than the one which takes
the state road 20 miles down the
Columbia river before the ascent is
begun.

der the instructions of the board o!
commissioners of Douglas county

STARKV|[[E
MINES MAY
Be SAVED
Pure Air Has Been Forced
Into Mine and Expect to
Take Out Men Today.

Starkville, Colo, Oct 10.-High
hope spread over this stricken min
ing camp this morning when the
news was brought from the Stark
vile mine, where two score or more
miners are entombed from the ex-
plosion of Saturday night, that the
fans providing pure air to the mine
had been put in operation and that
the imprisoned men undoubtedly
would be located within the day I'M
less the efforts of the rescuers was
further blocked by wreckage.
State Mine Inspector Jones is new
or inclined to give out optimistic re-
ports in such cases until he under
stands every phase of the situation.
Today it is believed that many of
the men, perhaps all, will be taken
out alive. Gas continues, however,
to make progress slow. Yesterday
evening the rescuers were equipped
with protective apparatus, including
reservoirs of oxygen, but were driven
back by the deadly fumes and once
were rescued with greatest difficulty
by the miners.
Between so and 1875 men were en-
tombed as the result of an explosion
which occurred about 1880 o'clock
Saturday night The explosion prac-
tically destroyed the old stope Of the
mine and the new stope was so thor
oughly filled with gas and black
damp that entrance of rescue par
ties by this route is difficult.
The Starkville mine has not been
working a night shift until recently.
when the demand for its output be-
came so heavy that the day shifts
could not meet it. Then night
shift, usually consisting of about
100 men, was put to work. It is diff
ficult to say just how many men
we're working when the explosion
occurred, because they are allowed
to use their own will as to working
at night.
The day shift runs about 400 men,
many of whom go into the mine at
night to make the extra time.
While practically all the miners
working in the Starkville mine are
of foreign birth, many have been in
this country for twenty or twenty
five years and a large portion OF
them have been working in the
Starkville mine ever since it began
operations in 1892.
The mine is the property of the
Santa Fee railroad, but is operated
by the Colorado Fuel & Iron COM
pany.

Fruit Paper Arrives.

This morning a carload of fruit
paper was unloaded in the Local
Great Northern freight yards. 1;
did not take long to unload this pa
per as there were from so to 10O
teams lined up waiting their turns
for the paper. Other carloads will
be received each day until the situa-

The fruit box situation is not quite
so acute, yet there is a shortage OF
boxes in the valley.

BIG TASK FOR THE
LEADERS
Revolutionary Heads Have
Task CURLING the Law
less Followers.

Lisbon, Oct. 10.-Revolutionary
leaders having overthrown the mon
archy, are now confronted with the
task of controlling the rougher ele-
ment of their followers who have
seized the situation to practice law
lessness especially against the clergy
who have been victims of many bru-
tai outrages.
The police are adopting severe
measures to check demonstrations
as was the case in the Barcelona
riots. The popular feeling seems te
be restricted to monks and nuns and
does not manifest itself towards the
secular clergy.

New Bids Called For

The Post Office Department has called for new bids for carrying the mail to the West Coast. ot Prince of Wales Bland. It appears that in the original call for bids, no mention was made of the fact that the mail boat would be expected to call at Tokeen, the new postoffice on Marble Island. As this point IS more than ten miles out of the course, the new contractors object ed to making the run without spec ial compensatiob so the depart ment decided to call for new bids.
