merit to about 1000 men, h being
hurried to completion at Othello, a
new town on the main line Of the
Milwaukee railway in central Wash

- 1t is the property of the Othello
Improvement Co., which has pur-
chased the entire townsite from the
Milwaukee Railway company, and
the system by which the artificial
slate ia manufactured makes IT
possible to turn out the substitute
for about SO cents a square yard,
which is but a fraction of the cost
of a square yard of natural slate.
I. H. D. Moon of this city, who is
vice president Of the Othello I'm

concern has recently disposed of
the Canadian rights to the patent

Shores Must Be Safeguarded
--latest About French
Steamer Disaster.

(By United Press Leased Wlrs)
MARSEiLLES, France, Feb. r..
Either the trsacherous shores Of
Minorca must be safeguarded for
travel, or this route to Africa Will
have to be abandoned, in the opin.
ion Of the local officials Of the
French Transatlantic Steamship
Co.
The sinking OF the General
Chanzy, one of the stoutest ships
in the Mediterranean traffic, with
the loss of 1855 of the 157 persons
has emphasized the neces-
sity of greater safeguards to life.
Already the Spanish government
has announced that 1t will build a
lighthouse at the most dangerous
Joint on the coast, and the various
steamship lines that use this route
will demand. that life saving sta
tions be established along the
northern coast of Minorca and
along the channel between Minorca
and Majorca. In the last three
years more than a score of vessels,
large and small, have gone down,
resulting in about 400 deaths.
No details have yet been receiv.
ed of the sinking today of the
French sailing boats Mathilde and
Martial at the same spot where
the General Chanzy went down.
Hope that there were other sur.
vivors of the CLANCY than Bladez

With the numbers of 1000
