WELLINGTON, Wash, March
ga fierce blizzard is raging at
Wellington and all along the trail
to Scenic. 1t began last night and
a heavy snow is falling, accom-
panied by a wind SO strong that
neither living nor dead can get
out of here tonight.
The newspaper men returned to
Scenic to spend the night, and
returning to Wellington at day
light this morning, found the
trail nearly obliterated. A grub
runner lost his foothold and fell
500 feet into a mixture of snow
and uprooted trees. His COM
panions rescued him after hours
of hard work. The trail is get
ting more dangerous every minute.

The tracks to Wellington may
not be open in ten days, but upon
the arrival of the county coroner
he has ordered all bodies taken
out. These bodies put away in
temporary ice tombs have been
uncovered and the little yelling
ton depot is so crowded with dead
this morning that survivors, dig
ger sand newspaper men often ac-
|cidentally stepped on a discolored
hand or foot in getting in and out
of the telegraph office.
Several undertakers are work
ing all the time, and as soon as
la body is embalmed it is wrapped
in blanket and tagged. The lit
tie room for the telegraph opera
tor is the only place in the depot
where the gruesome bundles are
not piled up, and every few min
utes a new corpse is dragged up
from Death valley.
1t will be week before all the
bodies are recovered. Half of

PHILADELPHIA, March S.
With an indeterminate number OF
men, variously estimated from
$4,000 to $4,000, on strike TO-
day Philadelphia faces the most
serious labor war in the history
of America. 1t is estimated that
business concerns will lose be-
tween two and three million dol
lars daily as long as a general
strike remains effective.
Business was not paralyZed to-
day to the extent predicted by Ia
Dor leaders, but the general un-
rest throughout the trades infi-
Gated that a complete prostratlor
Although there have been no
direct efforts today to settle the
differences, each side already pro-
claims victory.
The union men see success in
the general walkout, while the
employers point to the fact that
fewer union men are out than the
leaders predicted.
The first disturbance occurred
in front of the car barn at Thirty
sixth and Market streets.
Six negro policemen who hac
relieved six white officers at the
barn, aroused the anger OF a
crowd of loiterers.
The men threatened violence,
but as soon as a riot call was
sounded they fed.
The Philadelphia Rapid Tran
sit officials reported that they
were operating 936 cars out of
1900 which are used under nor
NAL conditions. 1t was announced
that this service would be con-
tinued until 1 O'Clock Sunday
morning. This will necessitate
practically continuous use of the
city police force on strike duty
for more than "a hours.
With the approach of darEn sss
this evening, it is feared that riot
ing will break out and efforts are
being made to induce the COM
pany to suspend the operation of
cars at sundown.
Union leaders are receiving
messages of encouragement frorl
all parts of the country. The
tenor of these messages is that
the cause of union labor faces a
crisis not only in Philadelphia, but
throughout the United States.
Unionism at Stake.
The unionists recognize tha.
unionism is in a fight for its life
and that they must win in order
to preserve the principles Of
unionism not only here put
throughout the land. 1t is a re.-
Iognized fact that politicians and
powerful capitalists are allied 20
bring on fight to finish. Every
effort made by those desirous or
peace at almost any cost has been
backed by unyielding OPPOSITE IN
on the part OF the city's officials.
Labor is prepared to fight 10
the bitter end but there is a reali-
zation of the suffering that will
accompany the conflict. This
retaliation stayed the hands of the
labor leaders until the last mo-
ment.
Secretary Hope said that in 3D.
dition to the thousands of union
men who have walked out, at least
$4,000 non-union street car men
have Joined the strike.
He declared that when the re-
ports from the secretaries of 500
local unions are received, it Will
be shown that the total number
of men who have quit work will
reach 125, 1000.

PROPER FEEDING Of PIGEONS
Twice a Day Is Sufficient at All Times
of Year-Many Changes Can Be
Made in Menu.

Feeding pigeons twice a day is sutti.
cient at all times Of the year. We
often read Of the Importance Of early
morning feeding, but this is purely a
notion; eight o'clock is a good time
for the breakfast hour.
The proper method of feeding is to
have a board about "a inches long and
eight inches wide, with strips nailed
around the four sides one inch high,
In which is placed grit, covering the
bottom about half an inch deep, with
good, sharp mixture. At the present
time there are very many fine com
binatiOns on the market. Upon this
grit can be spread Canada peas, wheat
and canary seed in the morning, and
in the evening small round corn, hulled
oats and Canada peas; as much should
be given as the birds will eat up clean.
There are many changes that can be
made in the menu. Bread can be
given, also a little lettuce, rice, oat-
meal, kaftir corn, milIet and hemp
seed. Lettuce is good green food.
Hemp is very heating and fattening,
and should be given sparingly, al.
though pigeons are very fond OF it.

BAILEY SWAPS CONVENTION
Acclaimed by Texans as Democracy's
President.

Galveston, Textile feature Of the
| opening session of the Democratic
! state convention was a demonstration
for United States Senator Joseph W..
| Bailey, which lasted for fOrty-0ne min
utes. 1t but served to emphasize the
fact that the convention is mostly dis
tinctiva in its advocacy of Senator
Bailey.
The demonstration came when Hon.
Clarence OusIey, temporary chairman,
in his keynote address, declared that
the convention should reaffirm the
tariff blank of the state platform OF
1896, the same being a declaration IN
favor of a tariff for revenue, saying
that this would be fresh encourage
ment to that matchless statesman
whose name it is hardly necessary TO
call"
Mr.. Ousley had previously said that
Texas should send a message to the
Democracy of the nation and Senator
Bailey said something Of the sort
when he addressed the convention, In
the meantime his friends in the con
vention had been acclaiming him as
the party's candidate for president In
