Boiler Explosion Kills Sixteen.

Fourteen men were instantly killed
and two have since died from injuries
received in the explosion of tubular
boiler in the engine house of the More
wood Lake cmpany. the largest ice
plant In Berkshire county, near Pitts
field. Mass.
The police theory of the explosion
is that a new safety valve which had
been installed by Pittsfield firm was
choked in the pipe leading from the
boiler TO the valve. and that whereas
the gauge was set for only forty
pounds the boiler may have been car
rying 200 pounds of steam when II
blew up.
The boiler house was demolished In
a second and pieces OF the boiler.
timbers and human bodies were hurled
through the air.
One body was blown a distance of
200 feet and another 1850 feet. The
cylinder OF the boiler was found in a
tree on the edge of the lake more than
100 feet away. while large piece of
iron was picked mp 200 yards from
where the boiler house stood.

Head Of Steel Trust Resigns.

William Ellis Corey, president OF
the United States Steel Corporation
since the resignation of Charles NJ
Schwab. the first president. seven
years ago, himself rendered formal
resignation at regular meeting of
the finance committee in New York.
To all intents and purposes the resig-
nation has been accepted.
The finance committee passed upon
II favorably. and 1t will come formally
before the board of directors at their
regular quarterly meeting on the 25th
of the month. That they will accept
II there Is no doubt.
In 1907, when Mr.. Corey married
Mabelle Gilman. the actress, II was
widely reported that he would be sue
ceeded as president. and there was n
faction of the board which rather
openly favored his retirement. 1t Is
understood that his retirement has no
relation to his domestic affairs.

STEEL CARS

Every railway wreck--in which both
steel and wooden passenger cars are
acknowledgements anew the claims
Of greater safety to passengers made
by the builders OF the metal coaches.
In the recent wreck near Fort Wayne,
Ind, two wooden cars were terribly
smashed and splintered. The baggage
car of wood was utterly demolished,
and baggageman crushed to death
while the occupants Of the steel cars
escaped with nothing worse than serf-
pus bruises
Both Of the railways and the pas
sengers are protected by steel cars.
They are accident insurance to the
passenger and casualty insurance to
the railway. Steel cars do not crush
and splinter, Neither do they burn.
They make impossible such awful
holocausts as have occurred on rail-
ways In the past.
The railways which carry the steel
coaches have already won much traffic
away from competitors which are not
so equipped. Passengers realize the
great protection offered by metal cars
and have not been slow to learn what
trains are provided with the steel
coaches.

THOSE DRAINAGE RECORDS.


Last April The Forum called atten-
ton to the report that the records OF
the county drainage funds were in a
confused condition, It was stated great
difficulty was found in readily securing
data and information regarding the
funds Of the different drains.
More recently it was asserted by
those In a position to know that certain
drains had money to their credit and no
bonds due-while there were bonds
out for others for which there were no
funds to pay-Ieading to the conclusion
that the funds had become mixed and
some money had been credited to the
wrong drains.
When The Forum called attention to
the condition-it had no thought of
making a personal reflection on any
particular official. The county com
missioners, however, appeared to think
a former official had been maligned.
Resolutions were drafted and taken
to papers by Commissioners Rusch--In
which the commissioners stated over
their own sIgnatures-they had made a
personal examination of the drainage
records and found everything in fine
shape.
In the August proceedings Of the
Cazw noYsptv commissioners fba 4oI
lowing paragraph appears:
1t was moved by Commissioner
Heath and seconded by Commits
sioner Martin that e. C. Eddy be
authorized to reorganize the sys-
tenn of keeping the books and rec
ords in the treasurer's office in
: connection with the various drains
! of Cass county, and the board
agreeing TO pay Mr.. Eddy 81 per
hour for such overtime as may be
necessary to complete this system.
Which motion prevailed on call of
the roll, all members present voting
aye.
II The Forum was right in stating
the records were not clear-why did
the commissioners take formal action
in eondemning the statement? If the
commissioners were correct when they
stated they had made a personal ex-
animation Of the records and found
everything in apple pie order-why
now employ a man specially to provide
q new system?

UNIQUE ACTION.
Question Of Island Ownership at Stake
in Action.

Question Of Island Ownership at Stake
in Action.
Devils Lake, N. D.. Aug. 21.--A case
which it is said may bring up the
question Of riparian rights before it
is finally settled, is pending in the
United States landoffice, entitled
Thomas sproat VS.. John S. Gordan.
The land in question composes what
is known as Gordan's island, located
in Rush lake between Hannah and
Langdon, Cavalier county.
In many respects the case is very
unique. When the United States sur
vey was made of the section of Cava-
lier county surrounding the lake, the
island was omitted. In 1907, on APP
plication, John S. Gordan of Clyde
NJ. D., a special survey was made Of
the description in question and home
stead entry was made at the Devils
Lake landoffice the year following
The land is described as two lots, be-
ing only a fraction Of the ordinary
100 acre homestead.
When final proof was offered this
summer by Gordan, Thomas Sproai
of Hannah filed contest, claiming
abandonment.
1t appears, however, that since
homestead entry was made by Cor
don, Rush Lake has lowered to such
an extent that the island has beer
greatly enlarged and there Is a ques-
ton as to whether or not the island
will be in existence. in which case
