the dump are as level and smooth
as a cement walk Several times a
day they were sacredly swept with
broom made out of big bunch of
willows tied together, and the place
was kept scrupulously clean so that
the spirits would not soil their feet
when they came to the tunnel to
hold communion. The top of the
dump was raked each day with
homemade rake in which nails had
been used as teeth, and broad
trail was extended out along the
mountain about $50 feet, which was
given the same scrupulous attention
as the dump and tunnel.
Extending from the outer end of
the trail, on the lower side, and
running to the lower edge of the
dump on the other side of the tun-
mel, is what is supposed to be a
spirit" telephone line constructed
out of baling wire, with stakes
about three feet high for poles.
Running into the tunnel, but not
connected with the other, is another
telephone" line of the same ma
terial. No vulgar wheelbarrow ever
desecrated the place, all of the rock
being carried out of the tunnel in
candle boxes.
Ore running S. and Sc ton was
opened in vein cut in the heading
of the tunnel; the faithful worker
kept on with renewed energy for a
few months. Then he got another
tip from his guardian "spook."
The communication came about
1880 o'clock in the afternoon, and
commanded him to go to Australia.
Abandoning his tunnel, tools and
camp, he went to one of the leasers
who still owed him for some work,
asked him for the money that was
due, received it, and within an hour
had struck across the hills for Blair.
He arrived there late in the after
noon and announced his intention
of walking to Blair Junction, about
twenty miles away, that night.
People who tried to persuade him
to wait until morning and take the
train from Blair were met with the
response that he was "in a hurry
and he started out on his hike.
BY some strange coincidence, and
as apparent proof that he had the
right tip this time, at least, an &C.
cident occurred to the motor engine
and the train failed to run from
Blair the next day. But he caught
the northbound Tonopah and Gold.
field train at Blair Junction the
next morning, and that was the last
ever seen of him in this section.
Some of his mining tools, his
candle boxes, dinner bucket, tele-
phone line, and the rake and broom
with which he kept the "spiri
walk" cleaned up, are still at thu

FREIGHT AGENT LUCE
PRINCIPAL WITNESS
Apparent Discrimination Brought Out
in the Government
Merger Suit.

New York. March 1.-Why the Southern
Pacific should maintain a $ rate on rail-
road ties and reduce that rate to $40 on
other rough lumber from Willamette val
ley to San Francisco bay points was a sub
ject of inquiry today by the government
attorneys in the suit to dissolve the Union
Pacific-Southern Pacific merger
counsel for the government wanted to
know from George w. Luce, general
freight agent of the Southern Pacific. #
the high rate on ties was not due to the
building of the Western Pacific line into
Oakland, for which ties were supplied
from the Willamette valley.
Luce denied that his road had any in
tention of hindering the new road in get
ting ties. He said that the rate on all
rough lumber had been raised to s. and
then lowered to 1910 on complaint of the
millmen. The only reason the advanced
rate was maintained for ties he added.
was because they were considered a fin
ished commodity able to stand the rate. He
admitted, however. that he had never
heard of another instance where the dis
tinctiOn was made.
Mr.. Luce testified that the Southern
Pacific had never solicited Portland traf-
fic In San Francisco, but he admitted
that it might have been done in a small
way in Portland.
The Southern Pacific did make one
effort to secure the Portland business
during the rate war" he said, but gave
up the attempt in disgust

PROTEST MADE BY JAPAN
China Declared to Have Made Grave
Political Mistake in Degrading
Dalai Lama.

Picking. March Following China's
reply to Great Britain, which the British
legation characterizes as extremely
friendly and appreciative of Great Brit
aims interest in the governments action
in Tibet Japan yesterday made strong
representations to the Chinese foreign
board on the basis of the Anglo-Japanese
alliance, under the terms of which il
claims joint responsibility with Great
Britain for the tranquility of the Anglo
Tibetan frontier.
Japan declared China had made grave
political mistake in degrading the dalai
lama, and that its action should not have
been taken without consultation with
Great Britain, Russia and Japan.
The dalai lama. through an envoy who
arrived in Picking a fortnight ago APP
pealed to the powers against Chinas en-
croachments in Tibet. An appeal to the
United States was made to w. w. Rock

EAST
Of THE SOUND
Snow Melts in Cascade Noun
tains and Little Streams
Are Turned Into Torrents.
Railroads in a Bad Tangle.

Seattle, March Warn wind and rain
caused rapid melting of snow in the Cas-
cade mountains today, bringing slides of
snow, earth and rock down on the railroad
tracks and turning the mountain streams
into torrents.
The Northern Pacific cancelled two
trains each way, and its other trains
ignored the time tables and crept eau
tiOusly past points where danger threat
ened overhead. The Great Northern,
whose main line is buried for ten miles,
and which is operating only one trans
continental train each way via Vancouver,
Wash, was further embarrassed by a
washout on the North Bank road. In
the Puget Sound country the streams are
already at the danger point. The rainfall
here today was light, but heavy precipita-
ton along the coast points to a consider
able dOwnpOuT tomorrow. The flood may
not cause large property loss or be long
continued, but conditions tonight are ia
vorable for inundatiOn of all the lowlands
The railroads tonight have wrecking
trains ready, and settlers in the valleys
are preparing to move.
On the eastern slope of the Cascades
colder weather is checking the thaw.

YOUNG ROCKEFELLER
RESIGNS FROM BOARD
Standard Oil Crowd Said to Have Dis
posed of Their Steel
Stocks.

New York, March Announcement
was made today that John D. Rockefel-
Ter. jr, had resigned as director of the
United States Steel corporation, ana had
been succeeded by Henry Walters of Bal
timore. chairman of directors of the
Louisville & Nashville and the Atlantic
Coast Line railroads. Mr. Walters is a
personal friend of ]. P. Morgan
According to common belief, the Rookie
Teller holdings of United States Steel We're
at one time very large so large, in fact,
as to make them factor in the affairs
of the corporation. II is denied, however,
that Mr.. Rockefellers resignation was due
to friction or differences of opinion with
the Morgan interests. A statement is
sued by Ebert H. Gary, chairman of the
United States Steel directorate. explains
the change as follows:
Mr. Rockefeller states that the only
reason for his resignation is that the hold
ing of stocks in the company by the mem
bers of his family is not sufficiently large
to justify his giving any time or attention
to the affairs of the corporation"

agree with them. These men will not
permit the 1000 OF more IovaI an
ployes, who stood by the company in
this crisis, to be punished
But will not such an attitude force
the threatened general striker
Il don't know about that but if II
is coming IL win have to come. 1 don't
know any way to stop IT,"
George H. Earle, one of the city's
representatives on the transit board,
said today:
The real difficulty in this matter
is not TO get peace, but permanent
peace The greatest difficulty is that
while the company is a permanent
body, the union is a shifting one: and
nothing done with il amounts to much
If the interchange, or are persuaded to
change their minds"
President c. o. CTuger reiterated the
refusal Of the company to consider ar
bttratiOn in any form.
Director CLAW, Of the department OF
public safety, said he would be fully
prepared to protect the city in event OF
a general strike Saturday.
At IL o'clock tonight six shots were
fired directly opposite the office OF
Mayor Reyburn, by some one who rode
up in an automobile.
It is not known whether the shoot
ing was done as a joke, or with serI-
Gus intention. A detective jumped in
a taxicab and gave chase. but the auto
mobile had gained a big lead and
escaped.
Mayor Reyburn arrived at his office
about an hour after the shooting. He
seemed inclined to make light of the
incident, but said significantly;
We will get the people who did IL.

ADDITIONAL DEATHS
DUE To AVALANCHES
Thirty Men, Women and Children
Rescued at Mace-Number of
Victims Unknown.

Spokane, March 1.-Silence like death
reigns throughout this mining district to-
day. where nineteen lives are known to
have been crushed out beneath ice and
snow that swept down the mOuntainsides
upon the little villages of Mace and
Burke. One more woman died today. and
another is dying.
So far thirty men, women and children
have been rescued from the Mace slide,
and the men. are working desperately in
an effort TO succOr those who may posi-
bly, be alive.
At Burke five are known to be dead
and two badly injured. Such is the cha
otto condition in the small mining town,
however. that the list is not thought
complete.
At Carbonate Hill, where the third
slide occurred, two are dead and half a
dozen men are injured.
slide at Dorsey, Ida, is reported to
have caused the death of two men. and
at Adair. a third man is reported to have
been killed by slide.

Interest conferred today in efforts TO
induce the Philadelphia Rapid Transit
company to listen to- proposals of ar
bitration After a special meeting of
the board of directors the company
again announced that there would be
no arbitration.
c. o. Pratt the leader of the striking
trolley men, however, says he still
hopes for a satisfactory settlement of
the differences before the sympathetic
strike becomes effective Saturday
Declaring that it would be better for
the members of the Ministerial asso-
their parishiO1ers than TO adopt resO-
buttons favOring arbitration, Mayor
Reyburn today reiterated his Opposi-
tion to submitting the differences be-
tween the Rapid Transit company and
the strikers to outside parties.
The mayor said that, while he is rep
resentative of the city on the board of
directors of the company, he need not
necessarily follow instructions given
by the councils, because that body did
not elect him.
Councils can only instruct its rep
resentatives what to DO he said. two
men represent the councils on the
board. That does not affect me be-
cause councils do not elect the mayor.
He is a representative of the city by
virtue of his office. And if the three
board meeting and voted for arbitra-
ton they would find seven or eight
others opposed TO them"
do you mean that those seven or
eight directors are opposed to arbitra-
tion?"
Il certainly do mean that They will
never consent to arbitration. And

Seattle, Wash, March i.-Sweeping down
the steep mountain side on the west slope
of the Cascades at dawn this morning,
avalanche of snow overwhelmed two
Great Northern trains, three locomotives,
four huge electric motor engines. and
brought death to more than score of
persons, according 10 meager reports that
have drlfted in from Wellington, a sta
ton near the scene of the disaster. Most
of the dead are believed to have been
passengers on the westbOund Great North
ern express, bound from Spokane to Seat
tie, and which has been stalled in the
mountains since last Thursday. They were
asleep when the slide came. The other
train was the transcontinental fast mail,
which carried no passengers.

into kindling wood. and no one on the

shelf upon which the tracks at yelling

"GwyI Devil SAINT

Five hundred members of the Sons and

natives or descendants wore the leek, the
sign of Welsh nativity or descent, and
at the conclusion OF a delightful program
a banquet of bara BIRTH and bara Rouse
and other things was enjoyed.
Arthur L. Thomas presided at the meet

but neither time nor distance can dull
their fond recollection nor chill their
abiding love for their native land. IT is
gratifying TO every patriotic Welshman
to read of the mighty part Welsh states

George, is shaking TO the foundations the
