o'clock this afternoon 1t was learned
that it was impossible to reach them
for some time. owing to the smoke
and the great distance they are below
the surface. At that hour it was ad.
mitted by one Of the officials that
there was fire in the mines but that
official was unwilling even to venture
an opinion as to how many men were
trapped. The news of the fire spread
rapidly and hundreds fiocked to the
mouth of the shaft. The women were
frantic and tore their hair and cloth
ing in their despair, and many of them
had to be taken from the scene.

to take of the passengers OF the strand
ed steamship, Princess Irene. Captain
Peterson sent a wireless to the dere-
lict destroyer, Seneca. this morning.

Seneca wired back that she could take
about 500 passengers aboard and the
cutter Mohawk 400 passengers.
A northwest wind during the morn
Ing kicked up lumpy sea, which
washed about the stranded Irene. The
Lone Hill life saving station crew
which is at the shore end of the
breeches buoy, said shortly after
o'clock that in their opinion IL would
be dangerous TO remove the passen-
gers, as the weather was not as fav-
orable as it was ait sunrise. The sky

THE giant North German Lloyd
steamer Princess Irene was still lying
helpless in the gripping sand keys
today with her 1870 passengers still
aboard awaiting transfer to the Prinz
Frederick Wilhelm, which has been
sent to her assistance from New York.
The stranded Irene rolls slightly In
the swelling sea and is deeper in the
sand than when she struck the shoal
in the fog yesterday morning. A
breeches buoy connects the steamship
with the shore while three life saving
crews are standing by the life saving
boats on the shore.
There is absolutely no fear for the
safety of the passengers. who in fact
show no apprehension over their en-
forced stay on the shoal. Some OF the
ocean voyagers played bridge whist
in the cabin, while others attended q
band concert. Neither do the steerage
passengers show any fear.

WILL IT WORK?

The petitions which are being cir
culated throughout the state, go to
prove that very few people will either
read or attempt to study such bills
and sign the petitions without any hes
itancy whatever, on the statement OF
the individual who carries about such
petition.
1t is very questionable indeed wheth-
er the cause of law making has made
any advancement through the initiating
and referring of laws. 1t is yet to be
proven that we are any step in advance
of representative government, wherein
we delegate to men elected by ourselves
to enact the laws of our states and our
national government.
1t is all right in theory to bawl forth
the doctrine of the people ruling them
selves, but we question whether they
rule themselves any more under the
initiative and referendum law of this
state, than under the provisions of the
old system of making laws.-Grand

WATER rAra1E ADJUSTED

Division Engineer Rosenberg of Glen
wood Springs was in Rifle few days
this week to straighten out water
tangle which had been occasioned when
the McLearnDavie ditch owners pro-
posed to pump a certain amount of wa
ter from the Grand river into lower
Rife creek, the ditch company to di-
vert a like amount of water from Rifle
creek higher up into the McLearn-
Davie ditch for the irrigation of the
Mesa Verde properties northeast OF
Rifle. On Tuesday, when the water
commissioner attempted to divert the
water into the ditch named, consid
cradle number of ranchmen who had
considered that their water rights
might be endangered by such an at.
rangement, gathered at the headgate
near the Hoover ranch and warned the
commissioner not to proceed further
In view of the temper displayed by the
ranchmen, the commissioner, who had
been instructed by ine state engineer
to so divert the water, thought he mad
best secure further advice, and Rosen-
berg was called. After considerable
discussion the affair was settled by al
lowing the water to be turned into the
ditch for time, to discover just what
effect the new arrangement might have
and if anyone's right were injured the
matter could be further considered and
