Lethbridge. Alta, Oct. 2S.--The
strike of the coal miners of Eastern
British Columbia and Alberta, which
has been in progress for nearly eight
months, is at an end and in the
course of few days everyone of the
twenty-five mines in the district will
be in operation again, with $500 men
at work.
about through the efforts Of Hon. Rob
ert Rogers, minister of the interior,
who came oLethbridge Wednesday
to meet both parties to the long stand
ing dispute and ascertain if something
could not be done toward effecting a
settlement. He had a number of con-
ferences with representatives Of the
operators and the men and as re-
suit the whole position is to be sub
mitted to referendum vote Of the
miners union. The settlement I'M
doubtedly will be approved by all
Basis Of Settlement
The basis of the settlement is said
to be the Gordon award as to wages,
recognition of the check off system,
slight changes in the wage schedule,
particularly regarding the contract
work agreement, for a term of three
and a half years.
The award of the cancellation board,
Of which Charles Gordon was chair
man, will apply as to wages an in
crease Of 10 per cent. The whole set
tlement is a compromise but is favor.
able to the men.
The magnitude Of the strike may be
imagined when it is stated that since
the first of April twenty five mines
have been shut down and $500 men
have been out of employment. The
mines represent an invested capital of
$l0,OOO,OOO, while the monthly payroll
of the men totals in The neighborhood
of $1,O0O,OOO. Business in all Of the
mining centers was considerably in
jured by the closing down of the col
lieries, no one class escaping.

Hankow in Flames
March Of Rebels in China is Uninterrupted.
Fighting Now in Progress Between
the Rebels and Loyalists.
(Record Specially

Hongkong, Nov. 3.-Delayed dis
patches from Hankow sent via WI
Huh describe the situation there on
Wednesday night as appalling.
An enormous conflagration was
sweeping over the city and fighting
was in progress in several quarters
between considerable bodies of rebels
and loyalists. The Imperial batteries
was letting explosive shells into the ma
tive quarter, while the rebels on the
other side Of the river had brought
long range guns into play from the
Wuchang Notifications and We're fir
ing with fair effect on the loyalist
positions. The fighting was clearly
visible from European concessions and
several stray bullets dropped in the
British concession but without doing
serious damage. The viceroy OF
kwantung province at Canton had dis
patched gunboat to this city to trans
port an immense supply Of ammuni-
ton, firearms and maXims for which
he had contracted with foreign firms.
Shanghai, Nov. 3.-The arsenal and
the native city Of Shanghai were taken
over by the revolutionists late this
afternoon.
No resistance was offered by the au-
thorities and such of the public as re-
mains loyal. 1t is expected that WI
Sung, at the mouth of the WuSung
river, and ten miles north of Shanghai,
and the upriver forts will fall tonight.
1t is confidently believed that Nank-
ing and Changkiang Win be captured
by the rebels tomorrow. Some of the
foreign warships landed marines in
this city before the rebels took pos
session. Foreign volunteers were call
ed out and have taken every precau-
tion to protect the concessions. 1t is
reported that the rebels at Klukiang
have seized the British tugboat Samp-
son. It became evident early in the
afternoon that the revo.utionists rrr-
posed to assume control of affairs here
within a short time, though it was not
.elieved they would occupy the arsenal
before night.

Kruger e. Tulgeske Will Dis
continue Grocery Line.

\ deal was made this week between
the F. NJ. Wall company and Kruger
& Tulgeske whereby the former takes
over the entire stock of groceries in
the Kruger store.
The stock bought by the +. NJ. Wall
company will be moved to the Wall
store where big cut price sale will
be held in order to reduce the stock
TO more desirable size. The stock is
all practically new, having been on the
shelves but short time, and includes
some of the best known brands of
goods on the market. This will add
greatly to the already popular grocery
department of the f. NJ. Wall company
store, and give them the largest stock
Of groceries in this section of the
state. A great many people of Round
up and the nearby towns will realize
more than ever that this firm can sup
ply their needs in the grocery line
better than any firm in the Mussel-
shell valley.
Kruger & Tulgeske retain their
meat market interests as well as their
furniture store which they have been
conducting in the Petal building, and
will continue the business under the
same name as heretofore with the ex-
ception that they will handle no gro
ceries whatever.

IMPROVEMENT
WORK HALTED
COLD WEATHER PUTS STOP TO
SIDEWALK CONSTRUCTION
DISTRICT NO.

The cold weather this week put an
effectual step to the work OF construct
ing cement sidewalks in the new inn
provement district No. in the west
end of the city. and work will not be
resumed unil next spring. The work
of laying walks in this district had
barely begun when freezing weather
set in, making it rather risky to con-
tinue the work. Nothing can be done
low until the frost is out of the ground
in the spring when it will be pushed
thru to completion.
The laboring men composing the ce-
ment gang have all been discharged,
many Of them leaving the city for
their respective homes Wednesday,
while others will remain here for a
while and may stay permanently if
they can secure work. The machinery
belonging to the 2 Miracle company
will be left here for the winter so
that work can be resumed as soon as
possible when warm weather returns
A large amount of money was plac-
ed in circulation in this city as re-
suit of the employment of the cement
gangs. In the neighborhocd Of 80 men
were employed, the weekly payroll
being close to $4,000. Most of this
money was placed in circulation again
thru the local business houses.

The most important field, from a
commercial standpoint, at the present
time, is Carbon county in the vicinity
of Red Lodge and Bear creek. This
is generally known as the Red Lodge
field. 1t contains seven distinct beds
of coal varying in thickness from 3

mated to be 80 square miles. Several
extensive mines have been developed
at Red Lodge and Bear Creek.
At the present time about 1000
miners are employed in the field. The

character, but is so near the dividing
line between sub-bituminous and
bituminous that it is rather difficult
to classify. 1t carries considerable

Total .... 2,92O,97O S5,329,32
The survey reports that there was a
general falling off in prices all over
the state last year, which it attributes
largely to the announcement of the
Milwaukee and Great Northern rail
roads of their intention to use oil as
locomotive fuel from the Pacific coast
to the Missouri river, and this same
influence forced down coal prices in
states to the westward that are ira
versed by these railroads.
Aside from the declines above noted
the survey calls attention to Fergus
and Yellowstone counties, where the
recent development of the Bull noun
tain coal field have been carried on
This field was opened in 1908 from
practically nothing in that year the
output rose to nearly 100000 tons in
1909 and to over 100000 tons in 1910.
The average price for coal in the two
counties in 1909 was about S2.1O per
short ton; in 1910, it was about s1.7o

creased, but the average price in.
creased orfm s2.O2 to $2.15.
The largest coal field in Montana, it
is declared, lies in the eastern part of
the state, including most of the coun-
ties of Rosebud, Custer, Dawson and
Valley. The coal in this field is low
grade, but it also includes some low
grade sub -bituminous coal. The latter
is mined in the vicinity of Miles City
and Glendive to supply the local de-
mand. The Ignite occurs in the Fort
Union formation and the sub-bitumin-

The field now attracting the most
attention and the one that is destined
to supply large part of the coal

Land Open for Entry
$4,000 Acres South Of Musselshell and Mel
stone to be Opened for Settlement
in Very Short Time.

Within the next few months there
VIII be opened for settlement approx
lmateiy 100000 acres Of lands south
OF Musselshell and Mestone in the
Billings land office district. The
opening embraces fourteen townships.
nine OF which are located between the
Yellowstone and Musselshell rivers.
All of these townships have been on
the map heretofore as unsurveyed
land, the surveying having been done
only recently, long delays having been
caused by the fact that much OF this
is coal land and had to be classified
as such by the geological department.
The plats of the survey of these town
ships were received at the Billings
land office last week. but the date for
filing has not been fixed by the Reg
lister and Receiver. The land office
is at present too busily engaged tax
ing and recording payments on the
sale of Grow lands to have much time
for other business. Under the regula-
tions, public notice will be published
for thirty days before the day is set
for filings. The notice will no doubt
be issued within short time 50 the
opening will occur about the first Of
the year.
The nine townships between the Vel
lowstone and Musselshell which are
being opened are as follows
Township n, Range 20.
Townships 6 and N, Range 81.
Townships 6 and 8. Range 81.
Townships 6, and $. Range 33.
The lands are for Il greater part
grazing lands, with q splendid area
adapted to dry farming. Good water
is to be found in all Of the many little
valleys. There is much valuable coal
in the territory embraced in the open
ing. Not the least important matter
in connection with the opening is the
fact that some OF the lands may be
filed under the enlarged homestead
act in 320acre tracts. Being within
the original land saant of the North
ern Pacific railroad. the company has
its right to select about one-half Of
the lands taking every odd numbered
section.
The Musselshell and Milestone coun- /
try has long been lamenting that this
land was not surveyed and opened for
settlement, and the news of the open
ing will be good news for that sec
ton. No doubt many homestead en-
tries will be made as soon as the
opening takes place, and it sbelieved |
that very little of the agricultural
ands in the new territory will remain
for any length of time.
The 320-acre homesteads will offer a
very attractive proposition.

Lyles returned, at this point, and brought the answer to the puzzle. It appears that when the line man started to connect the special wire with Roraback's office, where the returns were received, Dan Sweeney got hold of him, hypnotized him, and induced him to stretch the wire to Walters market; Cad we'll was beguiled into taking charge of the key, and Dan was inventing the fake returns and making a monkey of the club. While Lyles was explaining, the clicker started up again:
 "Fred Collin, defeated candidate for treasurer, stuffs ballot box with gia mt firecracker and blows up the whole dem ocratic victory. Moderator Fuller de- clares martial law and Rev, Bert Rora- back challenges George Dunning to come outside and fight, while president Lyles mounts the counters table and dances a break" That's as far as the clicker clicked, for by this time Mir Lyles had succeeded in procuring a pair os pliers, with which he cut the wire, and the meeting adjourned to the meat market.

Letters From the People
What The League Is? ?
the Editor of The News

To the Editor of The News;
 Kindly permit me to explain, through the medium of The News, few things concerning the Canaan Equal Suffrage League,
 women members; the girl from the shop, office, kitchen, school, home--ln short, girls from every Occupation-and this applies to young men as well, and men and women of all ages. The inn mediate object of the League shall be to promote public education in regard to woman suffrage. The ultimate object of the League shall be to secure the en- franchisement of women. The annual dues shall be 50 cents. Speakers, wher- ever deemed advisable, shall be engaged from all parts of the country. Delegates shall be appointed, from time to time, to hear distinguished speakers in other towns and cities. Other details, not yet arranged in their order, are planned. Due notice will be given for the next meeting, and later the constitution, copied from the Hartford League, may be published. Needless to say, the wO- man suffrage movement is of national interest and importance, which, 1t is readily seen, places a league associated With It on broad, democratic pIane. It means the sisterhood of women, all united because of a natural interest in this one subject of supreme importance to women,
 In all great movements there has to be a little beginning, like boy starting to roll big snow ball. When he begins, his one hand will cover It: when finished, he can scarcely see over it. There are those who will never jon anything until the shouting begins, and some never join until the shouting Is all oyer. Why not come in on the first, second and last hurrah

Will Stop Prosecuting Trusts

Franklin w. Hobbs, of Brookline Mass, president of the National Associa- tiog of Cotton Manufacturing, speaking on trusts at the three uays' semi-annual meeting last week, said:
 II am inclined to believe that the pop ular wave of prosecution, and even per secution, of the so-called trusts and reached its crest, and before long will begin to subside. The people at last are beginning to realize that these attacks cannot be continued indefinitely and in- discriminatory without wrecking the whole business life of the nation and bringing distress to the people at large. Let us hope that the time is near at hand when the man who conducts a great in- dustrial enterprise will be looked upon once more as a public benefactor, not as a malefactor. and when the people will realize that he is of more value to the state than the demagogue who attacks him for the sole object of attempting to deceive the people in order to get their votes.
 "As soon as unfair attacks, of what ever nature, on industry cease and there is certainty as to the manner in which business can be carried on, confidence in the future will be restored and prosperity will return again to the entire country. Let us do all we can to hasten the advent of that much. to- be-desired time"
