A copy of the, pixies Peak Daily

waited" publication on earth, just re-
ceived in this city, gives the name of
Albert nreiger, of wheeling, as one OF
the plucky tourists who reached the

person can accomplish" Out of hun
dreds, there were but FIVE who climb
ed (the rest rode) and Mr.. Kreiger
was the only one who walked down

Mr.. Kreiger was employed for some
years at the LaBelle, but previous to
leaving for California was employed
at the Wheeling Corrugating works.

REPUBLICANS CORRUPT
SAYS SENATOR BOURNE
Bosses Perpetuate Themselves in
Power and Misrepresent
Popular Will.

Senator Bourne, of Oregon, is tell
ing tales out of school. In letter to
a fellow Republican, one named Chas.
H. Russell, of New York City, Bourne
writes:
1.-THE Republican party machinery
is composed of few individuals, who
by methods well known to you, even
if you will not admit it. perpetuate
themselves in party control, debating
elections of delegates to national con-
ventions, making that body misrepre-
sentative of popular will and subordin-
ating general welfare to selfish inter-
ests."
OF course, Bourne has hopes for the
Republican party. He has the notion
tnat some day that party will adopt
the initiative and referendum and
thus the bosses will be wiped
out. However, he does not show how
the party bosses are going to adopt
his ideas and legislate themselves out
of power.
Nor has he or any other reformer
the peoples parties" are going to
be financed. The old parties. be it
remembered, only ask for votes not
regular monthly dues. Will they re-
fuse contributions from capitalists?

This Time the Committee on Light
And Water Makes Re-
commentator.
The Filtration Plant is still in coun-
Gil. For five years the people of
wheeling have been waiting for filter
ed water, and once voted a big bond
issue, but after. everybody else got
thirs out of the bond issue, there was
nothing left for filtered water for the
common people. Several times since
another bond issue has been on the
verge, and has been reported out of
committee, but now it seems about to
happen.
The city council last Tuesday night
referred the matter to the committee
on light and water, and this commit
tee reported the matter out Wednes-
day evening favorably, with instruc-
lions to the city solicitor to draw up
the proper ordinance to submit the
question to a popular vote.
The previous proposals for the cree
ton Of filtration plant carried a
union labor clause, that organized La
Dor is anxious to see appear again in
this one.

A hundred yards below he found them,
dripping and weak from the struggle,

in his wet clothes as the cool night

out so that the water would hide their
