ground Cell.

Joplin, Mo-, Aug. 2.-Entombed "a
feet below the surface of the earth,
facing possible death from the rapidly
rising water in the mine drift. Joseph
Clary, the young miner caught by a
cave-in at the White Oak mine here
Sunday, feasted on fried chicken and
joked with friends who are waiting
for his rescue.
Hello" his brother-in-law, Maurice
Grafton. called down the hole when
the drill bits had been removed.
Hello. boys, I'm hungry" came the
clear. but faint reply.
Then Thomas Clary, father of the
entombed miner, fastened to his
home, whore the young mans mother
was Frustrated from grief, and told
her the young man was still alive.
The news, the doctors say, has saved
her life.
From his home, the father, one Of
the Oldest prospectors in this district,
hurried back to the mine, carrying
milk and stimulants, which were low
cred on a piece of rope to his son.
After drinking these Clary seemed
much stronger and remained near the
drill hole talking with those at the
top.
Il have not worried any, though it
has been long WHILE" he said. "for
[ knew that you were after me. The
water has been rising fast in here
and it is about waist deep in some
plsces now. I don't believe it will
get much higher. for this is dry
ground"
Little Danger In Drowning.
The ground where the mine is locat-
ID is known as dry ground" and it
has never been necessary to use a
pump to keep the water out of the
drifts while work was going on. This
fact lends encouragement to those
who are working to sink a rescue
shaft to the drift. If, however, the
shaft is not down to the drift within
two or three days it may be too late

let down to him and also small rope
which he tied around his waist, SO
that in case he stepped into deep
hole while exploring his prison he
could be saved.
In talking to Clary, 1t was learned
for the first time that one of the for
mer drill holes penetrated the drift
in which he is confined. He thinks
1t was the one that was sunk Monday,
but whether this is correct is prob
lematical. The drill hole penetrated
the roof of the drift near one Of the
walls and Clary says that though he
called up it until he was exhausted he
failed to get reply and thought that
the rescuers had given up hope that
they would find him alive. Then he
became respondent. he says.

raIks On Tax Valuation.
In a statement, issued recently.
Clifford Thorne, state railroad com.
missioner. mildly criticises the state
executive council for it's valuation
pf railroad properties. He also sug-
eests that actual physical valuation
is the only proper basis of taxation.
He says:
"The actual value of Iowa railroads
% Just found by our executive coun-
ell ID $267, S53,6S0. The market val.
- OF Iowa railroads within this
state rs estimated by the national
government in 1904 was $344,S47, 900,
making a difference OF the value az
found by our national government
seven years ago compared to the
value as found by our executive
council this year in the snug sum
Of $76,993.320 in favor of the rail-
eoads. Compared to the present mar
ket value this difference would
amount to more than one hundred
million dollars.
"The cost of road and equipment
reported by our Iowa railroads to
the Iowa commission as shown by
the last published report 5000
amounted to $42,s4s,0s0O5 (as com.
pared again to the valuation just
made by the executive council
amounting to $267,S53,6sO.) These

Warden Sanders Defends #. Madison
Conditions at the state penitenti-
airy at Fort Madison are not what
they have been painted by lot of
people who have never made any in
vestigation Of conditions there" said
Warden ]. c. Sanders. This story
that has been sent broadcast over the
state about vermin being continually
on the rampage in the cells Of tho
prison is pure and undefiled tommy
rot. 1t is admitted by all that in the
old cell house, which was constructed
years ago, before the advent of mod
ern conveniences, the sanitary ar
rangements are not as perfect as
they are in the modern prisons. When
our new cell house is completed the
state penitentiary at Fort Madison
will compare more favorably with
any similar institution in the coun-
try. AS to the method of paroling
prisoners. that is question entire
ly for the state board of parole and
not one which would feel justified
in discussing. But do know about
the prison conditions, and l do know
that q great deal which has been
written about the institution and its
sanitary condition il not founded on
