blinded for life and five had their legs
broken by falling trees. Three more
men. met death yesterday afternoon.
They and % others were trapped in a
fire on Boulder creek. near Mullan.
Four of the 20 managed to walk to the
train to come here. Another man was
killed on Placer creek, a mile from Wal
lace. He and a companion, penned in
by flames, took refuge in a creek and
kept each other close by throwing water
with their hands. While thus engaged
a falling tree struck one of them on the
head and killed him instantly. His
companion was able to escape to Wall
lace, but his clothing was burned off.
He was stopped at the city limits by a
policeman who obtained clothing for the
man before he would permit him to en-
ter the city for treatment.
At the conclusion of the conference a
long dispatch was sent to Beverly. 1t
is understood here that II Is planned
TO rush troops from a distance to the

IS WEST MORE HONEST OR WEATHER.?

The United States department of commerce and labor
has issued special report for the year 1907 conaing
highly interesting statistics of cities having popu
lation of 10000.
Not the least in interest in that array of figures and
facts is the personal property listed for taxation.
try-New York, Chicago, Philadelphia St Louis and
Boson-with population Census Of 1900 Of 7565604,
list 81 0390805S5 of personal property. That would be
$13681 per capita.
Five large western cities-San Francisco Denver Los
Angeles, Portland and Seattle-wth population $4,000
of 7502l7, list $265059728 of personal property This
would be $353.3l per capita.
Summed up the west is either weather. than the east
in the ratio of $3533l to $l36S1 OR it is honest
in the ratio.
Philadelphia is by the same report the poorest or the
most dishonest city in the United States for its personal
property list is $l,906973-jus $1.49 per inhabtant
$500 census).

I breezed out to tie stockyards
the other day to look at my meat
bill on the hoof.
I'd been following the market
and I'd seen where all kinds of live
stock was going up. Now, l can I'M
derstand why flour goes up--it
comes by way of grain elevator.
But cattle and sheep and hogs had
me guessing.
When | got there they were all
on the ground floor, except the
sheep. They were on the second
story. This explains why I have
always thought l was getting my

They told me out there that the
packing houses make money out of
every part of the pig but the
squeal. suppose that the squeal
is regarded, so to speak, as a note
gone to protest.
Anyway, after pig is killed he
can't squeal. OF course, the con-
sumner can squeal after the pig is
killed. That's the only difference.

streets. one of the busiest corners
in East Spokane, green flies gather
around these manholes and catch
basins, and the odor at times has
been such as is found in and about
slaughter house. Further along
the course of this sewer we find
that streets for an entire block are
closed to traffic on account of this
sanitary Improvement CD haEtng
caved in, and the city, TO protect
| itself, has built fences across the
streets and around the untitled
grave of this Improvement which
we are asked to pay for.
Why property that lays six
blocks from the sewer should be
assessed 5000 per lot, and others
that lay five blocks from it is as
sessed $40 is another problem
which we are unable to solve un-
less it be that those responsible for
the assessment have been so OYER

are a greater distance from this
public disgrace are better off, and
therefore should pay for their luck.

SEWER SITUATION.

Editor The Press: In regard to

which the people of Union park are

preciate the publishing of the fol-
lowing:
First, why should the public be
compelled to pay for an improve

The trunk sewer in question in
stead of being an Improvement, is
a detriment, inasmuch as that por-
ton of it that was not disabled by
the recent flood is proving itself a
menace to the health of the COM
munity. At the corner of River

manholes and catch basins emit a

FANS WOULD like
TO KNOW REASON
Base Ball Public Want Presi-
dent Johnson to Explain
Why StaIIings Is Fired.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, September 27.-Base ball
fans here are indignant over the treat
ment Of Manager George stallings Of the
New York Americans, and insist there Is
some questionable politics in his dismissal
not yet given to the public.
The public hears 1t Is because Stallinss
accused Hal Chase Of laying down" and
an investigation failed to prove 1t. Such
every base ball player knows 1t, for who
is SO wise that he can declare a man de-
nberately dropped ball or deliberately
swung at the ball and missed?
Look at the record Of Stallings since
taking charge Of the New York team. 1t
was q miserable tail-end club. and the
first year he had it up and fighting with
the leaders. The second year also he has
had 1t contending for the pennant This
has brought financial success to the club
owner. Mr.. Frank Farrell.
AS a base ball manager George stallings
has been a success. Yet he is literally
kicked out Of the job, and the excuse is
brought up that he quarreled with a
player and accused him of not giving his
services to the team.
It IL q weak excuse, but 1t goes with
the army OF base ball rams, ana soon tney
will have forgotten ell about 1t. The dear
old public will 60 out to the park and
cheer for Hal Chase, who undoubtedly In
to be made manager Of the team.
The real reason for the change will not
likely be told to the public Perhaps 1t
will be just az we'll for the game to keep
It hushed up But 1t will hardly be for
gotten that President Ban johnson OPP
posed the appointment Of George Stall
ines as manager two years ago. In spite
Of the opposition. Stallings WAS put on
the job Ban johnson never forgets and
has been after the man ever since.
Remember the scandal that arose early
IN the season when the New York club
was accused Of tipping signals? Ban
johnson assured the pubic he was inves-
tiEating the matter, but he never gave out
a statement OF HIS findings. Can It be this
Is the actual reason for the banishment
Of Mr.. Stallings?
