JURY FOR cox TRIAL CHOSEN

All this week the attorneys have
been busy selecting jury in the
Cox case. Altogether seventy-two We
niremen were drawn and as we go to
press the following twelve men were
chosen; John Mcmillan, John Carl
son, Ben Cordell, d. S. Potter. Harry
SEVERN, A. NJ. Clemmens, John Car
ter, W. B. Farley, j. J. Payne, C. d.

District Attorney George Lane is
explaining to the jury what the state
expects to prove, and when the at
torneys for the defense tell the jury
what they intend to prove, it is prob
able that Sam TRULY, who is the
complaining witness, will first go on
the stand to testify.
As tomorrow is legal holiday the
court will take recess until Friday
morning, but as the Savoy always has
a good Thanksgiving dinner, and as
that is the hotel to which the bailiffs
will escort the jurymen to meals it
is not likely they will feel their con-

line when they want, but they also
want the farmers to have a phone
line that they can order goods over
without paying toll. A few said they
have noticed a falling off in the or

toll charge went into effect, and sew
eral business men announced their in
tention of notifying the farmers
throughout the papers that they would
pay the toll charge on any orders they
receive.
An of these questions were fully
discussed and a clear understanding
was reached on ali of the points that
came up, but there was only ore case

adjusted by the company agreeing to
put in one pay station to which the
subscribers can build their own lines.
The subscribers agreed to do that, and

suggest any improvement in the Bay
field situation, everyone shook hands
and the meeting adjourned.

REPAIRING FLOOD DAMAGE.

Il. w. Byrne is over from Pagosa
Springs for few days on business.
While the losses were heavy in Ar
chuleta county on account of the flood,
Pagosa Springs people are not dis
couraged and are busy repairing the
damage. The light plant is now fur
nishing just as good lights as before
the flood, and the residences are being
rebuilt or repaired rapidly.
About two weeks ago when the cold
spell was accompanied by high wind,
residents of the town were quite ex-
cited by a report that was vigorously
circulated to the effect that the high
school building was unsafe. The board
closed the schools to give an oppor-
tunity to investigate. Outside of
knocking down considerable plaster
there was no damage done.
Visitors to the Springs will remem-
ber the exposed location of the build
ing which is built on hill overlook
ing the town and is the first thing
to attract the eye on leaving the de-
pot. 1t is good brick building, well
constructed, that would require an
an extraordinary wind storm to in
jure it.

PURE WATER
SUPPLY FOR
ALL TOWNS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 29.-
Secretary Wilson has decided that the
interests of cities and towns which
obtain their water from streams hav-
ing their watersheds within national
forests call for. special measures of
protection, and he has therefore devel-
oped plan of cooperation for the
department of agriculture with those
communities which are alive to the i'm
portance of keeping their water sup
ply pure.
There are many western towns and
cities, some Of them of large size,
which derive their water from drain
age basins lying inside the national
forests. One of the recognized OBJ
jects of forestry is to insure the per-
manence and protect the purity of
municipal water supplies. AS the for
ests are maintained for the benefit of
the public, Secretary Wilson eonsid-
ers it the duty of his department to
do all that it can both to prevent the
pollution Of such supplies and to Gre
ate or maintain conditions most fa-
vorable to a constant flow of clear
water.
Stock raising and occupancy of the
land for the various kinds Of use which
are ordinarily encouraged on the ma
tional forests may be highly unde-
sirable if allowed on drainage basins
which are the sources of drinking wa
ter. There is also to be considered
the injury which may be done if the
water is silt-laden. By protecting and
improving the forest cover and by en-
forcing special regulations to mini
mize erosion and to provide for the
maintenance Of sanitary conditions,
the government will try to safeguard
the interests of the public.
A form of agreement has been
drawn up, providing that, when CO.
operation is entered into between the
secretary of agriculture and any city
desiring conservation and protection
OF its water supply, the secretary will
not permit the use of the land in
volved without approval by the town
or city except for the protection and
care of the forests, marking, cutting,
and disposing of timber which the for
est officers find may be removed with
out injury to the water supply of the
city, or for the building of roads,
trails, telephone lines, etc., not incon-
sistent with the objects of the agree
ment, or for rights of way acquired
under acts of congress. The secretary
also agrees to require all persons en-
ployed on or occupying any of the
land both to comply with the regula-
tions governing national forests and
to observe all sanitary regulations
which the city may propose and the
secretary approve.
The agreement provides for the ex-
tension and improvement Of the for
ests on the part of the government
by seeding and planting and the best

IN BLAZING mine
PATHETIC SCENES UPON RECOVERY
OF DEAD BODIES.
Flames, Smoke and Gases Coming il
Blind Tunnel Completely Elk
terminated Men. ii

Scranton, Pa.-One of the most serious
mine disasters of this section of the
mining country occurred Friday at the
little village of Throop, a short dis
lance from this city, when the lives of
between fifty and sixty men and boys
were snuffed out.
Up to midnight nearly, two scores Of
bodies had been piled at the bottom OF
the shaft, but it was thought advisable
not to bring them to the surface until
the crowd had dwindled. A temporary
morgue had been erected at the opening
to the mine, and here were c~ongregated
hundreds of women and children, rela-
tives of the men and boys who had
been SO suddenly snatched from them.
Their grief was pitiful.s Children of
tender years clingingl to the skirts OF
their mothers, while older, male MEM
bers of the family sought to soften the
anguish of the distracted mothers and
sisters.
None of the bodies recovered were
mutilated, death doubtless having been
caused by inhaling flames and gases.
The rescIerss are pushing into the mine,
and it is thought all Of the bodies will
be recovered. > q al4n nnB ~E0itssatbai
The fire started in an engine house
at the opening of a slope $50 feet, from
the surface. There were 500 men in the
mine when the fire started, about sixty
of them in the workings into which the
slope led. These sixty were at work in
a blind" tunnel at the end Of the
slope. .i4 ~ ~ @0sS3 'i-'h -F

and the generated gases, possibly before
these men and boys realized their dan.

exits. E..
