Miners Difficulties.

The peculiar conditions existing in
the Oklahoma fields by reason of the
fact that all mines are located on seq
gregated land makes things still hard
er for the miners
They are unable to own their own
homes anywhere in the segregated
district, as no title can be obtained to
the land, which is owned by the In
dian tribes, and leased to the opera
tors, and therefore have to live in
company houses built on this leased
land, paying rent at the rate of 81 per
room per month.
The fact that there is no farming
land Immediately adjacent also makes
living expenses much higher, as vege'
tables. meat, milk and everything OF
that sort has to be imported. 1t Is
estimated that man living in town
In the midst of farming community
can live from 30 to 80 per cent cheap
! eT Uldll nc tdIl III INC ONoi 4NSiN''
Taking into consideration the fact thai
the miners were running at short
time at best. the miners income was
none too good at best, and when II
was withdrawn entirely, business con
ditions were absolutely paralyzeC
throughout the mining district
From the standpoint of the opera
tors also, the continuation OF tho
strike was disastrous financially. Ther,
are forty-seven companies in the Okla
homa field operating sixty-seyer
mines with a total investment of 50,
2OO,5S5. In 1909 the total production
was 2.916,345 tons.
It would have been at least as great
this year and the six months idleness
therefore means that the output this
wear will be nearly 100000 tons
short At 80 per ton, which would
probably be a conservative average
for all of the various classes OF coal
produced. that would mean loss to
the operators of $i.50O,O0O aside from
the deterioration to mines and ma
chinery through disuse.
One item, however, which will tend
to reduce somewhat the loss to Ooth
sides is the fact that this long period
of idleness will probably result in the
mines working more nearly full time
during the coming year, thus making
! the income of both miner and opera
tor somewhat larger than it would
have been during the same period un
der the normal conditions.

Guthrie, Okla, Oct. 3.-The reopen
ing of the coal mines in eastern Okla
homa, following the completion of an
agreement between the operators and
the miners, has caused general feel
ing of relief in industrial and com
mercial circles all over the state,
marking as it does, the conclusion of
a strike which has lasted nearly six
months, keeping nearly 5000 men idle
in Oklahoma alone, resulting in loss
of over $2,000,OO0 In wages and tying
up property in which $3,20O,5S5 has
been invested by the operators.
The entire district including Okla
homa, Arkansas, Missouri and Kan
sas has been affected by the strike,
keeping altogether about $4,000 men
and from SS,0OO,OO0 to s10,0O0,0OO idle
for half a year.
The result of the six months stlug'
gle between the miners and the oper
ators is a compromise contract which
seems to be quite satisfactory to botl
sides. The miners are granted gen
eral advance in wages of 5.55 per cent
over last years scale, while the oper
ators were successful in retaining q
clause which is expected to preven'
the men from being called out arbi
trarily on strike order in the future.
That is the provision for peima

much toward preventing hardships for

Began in April.

oNSo'' w 'Nf'
The miners walked out on April !
last. following the refusal of the oper-
ators TO agree to a general advance
in wages The operators We're willing
10 grant an advance on tonnage and
day labor, but refused it on yardage
and dead work.
Three different efforts were made
to get together before one was sue
cessful. Negotiations were begun on
April II, again on June "A and the
last effort which resulted successfully
on August 80.
The long period of idleness resulted
in practical destitution among many
of the Oklahoma miners and conditions
would have been much worse than
they were If they had not been re-
lieved by contributions from union la
bor all over the state. Oklahoma coal
miners have suffered very severely
from the introduction of natural gas
into all of the larger cities of the state,
and consequent decrease in consump-
ton of coal.
While the S,S74 men actually engag-
ed in digging coal received an average
wage of s2.9S per day for the time
they worked during 1909, they only
average III days during the entire
year. thus making their average an
nual earnings less than $500.
Conditions were even worse among

TUBERCULOSIS OFTEN DEVELOPS
FROM PNEUMONIA.

Consumption readily attacks those
who have had pneumonia. Many suf-
ferers from tuberculosis give history
of having had pneumonia. The lungs
thus weakened are more easily at
tackled by the germs that cause con-
sumption.
For all those with weak lungs
especially those who have had pneu-
monia, Eckman's Alternative is the
appropriate remedy Cures of con-
sumption are accomplished by Eek
mans Alternative. But take it in
time. There is no wisdom in waiting
until tuberculosis is established.
Health is never fully valued until
sickness comes.

Alternative two years ago. Since TAX
ing it l have gained tWenty-eight

WELL known RESIDENT
Of BARNES CO. dead

Valley City, N. D., June 30.-About
one O'Clock today a party of boys
roaming along the river bank jus
below the rapids, discovered the nude
body of a man some twenty feet from
the bank. They gave the alarm and
Deputy Sheriff Heimas and DR.. A. W..
Macdonald went at once to the scene
of the tragedy and the body proved
to be that of Tom Gunderson, one
of the oldest and best known citizens
of Barnes county. The body was re-
covered and taken to the undertaking
parlors of Marten Somedahl.
Mr.. Gunderson had not been missed
from the Office of PlatOu & Macdon-
aid, where he kept the books, and his
death is shrouded in mystery. The
body was discovered some 80 or IS
rods down the Rasmussen road from
where the automobile road branches
off to go to the fair grounds. At this
point the timber is thick and the trees
quite large. His clothing hung on the
branch of a tree in orderly array,
while the nude body rested on the
bottom, the head and lower end of
the trunk under water, but the back
projecting above. The water was not
more than two and half feet deep.
Tom Gunderson was one of the best
known ad most popular men In Barnes
county. He was county auditor for
many years and held several positions
of trust and honor during his resi-
dence here.

MYSTERY SURROUNDS
Discovery Of BODY

Schafer, N. D., June 3O.-While
making a tour of inspection over his
claim the other day, Henry Kettle
son, a homesteader near Banks, found
the dead body of what is supposed
to be an Indian body and two sun
dried, contorted human hands belong
ing to second body. The gruesome
discovery was made on the summit
of an imposing butte short distance
from Kettlesons home and about one
half mile from the Missouri river.
The hands were lying near the base
of the butte.
The body was wrapped in an old
quilt and scantily covered by a guam
tity of boulders heaped about it. 1t
was in a mummified state and had
probably been lying there anywhere
from three months to two years.
The fact that the body had not
entirely decayed is accounted for in
that it was placed there during the
winter months, whether last winter
or the winter before cannot be def
nitely determined at this time.
The mystery of how this body came
to be on the summit and the two
withered hands at the base of the
butte may never be solved. The
theory is advanced that there may be
other bodies similarly placed on
neighboring buttes and that the two
hands were carried to where they
were found by coyotes. Conceding
the fact that the body was placed
where found, as was the practice by
some bands of Indians in disposing
of their dead, the question still re-
mains whether or not this supposed
Indian died natural death or was
murdered, and also what became OF
the body from which the two hands
were taken. The body was evidently
placed on this butte by some hunting
party of Indians who had camped
there within the past year or two, and
If a crime was committed it was no
doubt done by them.
1t is obvious that these gruesome
objects have not been lying there for
any great length of time, as string
of beads about the dead warriors
neck was intact, the string which
held them not having decayed sufti-
GENTLY to fall apart. The clothing
and the quilt that were wrapped
about the remains were also in a
good state of preservation.

Lenhart Drug Co. has a sensible
remedy (money back if it fails) for
catarrh, called Hyomei pronounced
High-o-me) which is a vaporized air,
so antiseptic, that when it is breath
ed over the inflamed and germ-in-
tested membrane, it kills all germ life,
gives relief in two minutes and cures
catarrh.
The price, including hard rubber in

that should you need second bottle
of Hyomei, you can get it for so
cents.
