American Reluctance.
why is the average American aviator
reluctant to enter these great contests?"
Because the American aviator is a
business man first of all. The European
is either a wealthy sportsman. who cares
little for the ultimate utility Of the aero
plane except as matter OF pride. or
man of personal prowess with a wealthy
natron. Then, you must remember that
we are in the exhibition business. The
exhibition idea will not be lucrative
more than a few years. In Europe 1t Is
playing out already.
"Our leadership. both in construction
and in the art of flying, was recog-
nfzed by the European aviators at the
Belmont meet. Latham and the best
of their operators could not stand the |
tests Of endurance In the high winds |
on that occasion, although Moxsey and |

Meade Is; Cimarron 0.

The above score shows what
Meade High School did to Cim1
arron High School Thanksgiving
day.
1t was plain to be seen that the
Meade boys had the advantage
over Cimarron from the start of
the game to the end. Meade
scored one touchdown in the
first quarter and two in the third
quarter.
Everyone Of our boys deserve
great credit for their work in the
game as all of them played hard.
Cimarron did not have very
good luck in making their yards
as they only made their downs
three or four times during the
game.
This was the closing foot ball
game of the season and good
crowd witnessed it.
McMeel made two of the touch
downs for Meade while NARROW
made the'other. Campbell kick
ed one goal.
In the two games with Cim-
arron Meade scored 40 points

Masked Tackey Party

Tuesday of this week was the
fifteenth wedding anniversary of
Mr.. and Mrs. r. ]. Boyer, and a
tackey masked party was given
in honor of the event. About
eighteen couples were present
and were attired in some out
landish costumes, and "tacky"
would hardly have been the prop
er word for some. Nevertheless
they all had a good time. Hus-
bands are said to have been un-
able to recognize their wives, and
wives searched in vain for their
husbands, but after their masks
were removed husbands and
wives were reunited. Mrs. f..
S. Sullivan carried off the prize.
Refreshments we're served and
at a late hour all departed for
their homes, all declaring that
they had never had a better time.

Y0UNGS MAMMOTH MINE IS BADLY DAMAGED
 BY FIERCE STORM OF FRIDAY AFTERNOON
Main Working Shaft Has Been Filled With Water And Debris and it is Possible the Damage May Be of Such Character That All Thought of Re pairs to Property Will Yet Have to
 be Abandoned.

George '. Young last night re- ceived by special messenger from his mine at Goldfield. about forty miles east of Phoenix, the most depressing news of a business nature that has fallen to his lot for a long time The information was that the same storm that put the Roosevelt transmission line out of business Friday afternoon had also caused the closing down of his stamp mill for fifteen or twenty days. and perhaps indefinitely, by filling the main working shaft with water and debris and perhaps injur- ing it beyond repair.
 A big wash crosses the property near the shaft, and though it is usu- ally dry. it was known that in wet seasons a big body of water some times courses down it. An embank- ment fifteen or sixteen feet high had therefore been built as protection to the shaft. but late Friday the water came down in unexpected vol ume. and sweeping over the dyke, poured into the 300-foot shaft, carry

Thousands of R ailroad Shopmen Lay Down Their Tools and Walked Out At Hour of Ten O'clock This Morning.
UNIONISTS EXPECT
 AN EASY VICTORY
On the Other Hand Officials Say They Are Prepared For a Strike And Will Not Accede to Unions Demands.

CHICAGO, Sept. 30.-The threatened strike of shop men of the Hartman lines to enforce recognition of the newly organized federation has be- come a reality. The number of men who quit in the fifteen states affect ed is estimated between 10000 and 30000 by union men although Julius kruttschnitt, vice president of tn Har- riman lines, said tonight the number is much smaller. Reports from most points indicate the men walked out without demonstrations and no rioting Is reported. Traffic continued with out interruption and railroad heads said the sEopmen's strike, even if eX- tended, would not interfere with trans pOrtatiOn. Response to the strike or der is general in the middle west and south. The men had received notices from presidents Of the five crafts di- rcctly involved and when the hour came laid down their tools At New Orleans. where the strike has al- ready extended from the strike of the Illinois Central clerks, men have been out for several days. Two men have received jail sentences for violation of the federal injunction restraining from interfering with the company's property. In the far west. it is said by railroad officials that only small percentage of workmen responded to the call. KIuttschnitt has issued this statement:
 "At many Intermediate points the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific ch 1af. .,FF f., Inc. working time to effect a reduction of expenses. At other points none went out. at some points only one or two. At the general shops so far. as heard from. the situation is as follows: Omaha, % per cent Sacramento. B. Oakland II. Train scheduels of all trains are normal, and maintenance of the regular train schedules will in no manner be interferred with"
 Union leaders have divided the men involved as follows: Machinists. 1000; boilermakers, 1000; blacksmiths, 5000; carmen. 11,OOO; clerks. 1000; miscel- laneOus, 1000. w. l.. Park, vice pres ident and general manager of the Illi- nois Central, has issued a statement characterizing the demands of the men do iduI1tls NllslI llle tbHAidtlS btlNttH the roads and the unions have not been abrogated by the necessary thirty days notice.
 Park added: Tt is we'll known the international officers of some crafts, at least have supported our position and are bitterly opposed to violating the contract by consenting to call a strike on the Illinois Central The con servatives seemed to be in the min ority. This is one of the most un- called for walkouts of labor in the history of the country. The shopmen of Memphis and New Orleans quit work in defiance of instructions by the same grand officers responsible for calling the strike"
 The Illinois Central has not sought this controversy. It has no quarrel with organized labor as such, but will use all resources at it's command to re- tain such control of the management as will enable it to perform the pub He functions for which it is created

 Two pumps. maintained on the low CT levels, were submerged as the water came up to the fifty-foOt level. but the third pump was kept in op- eration. battling with the flood The water can be pumped out in a couple of weeks or less, in all probability, but a worse feature of the situation is that the ground is soft, as the shaft is an old one that was never properly cleaned and timbered until Mir. Young took the property, and it may be that it will cave in so badly 1t cannot be again repaired
 The discouraging feature is that after months of hard work and short mill runs. getting things in order and testing the ores to see what was needed. the mill was started about a week ago, on what it was believed would be a continuous run. As it drew most of it's ores from the shaft now tilled with water, the closing down of the mill was a natural con- sequence.

mained at their posts, the latter by the unions permission. Salt Lake of ficials said all the shopment, to the rumber of nearly 400 went out The strike leaders accounted for the diff ference between this estimate and theirs by the statement that 220 un- ion men are affected by the Salt Lake shops and others went out in sympathy.
 Santa Fe officials denied that any men went out of their shops. but un- ion men reiterated their statement that 100 went out when work was transferred there from the Southern Pacific shops. No strike breakers have been brought here and officials of the Salt Lake and Southern Pa cific stated positively that none would be Superintendent Platt said force of 25O to 300 remained al work and will do sufficient work to enable the road tO transact business. He added that if it is found working these men creates adverse sentiment and prom ises to produce trouble the shops will be closed and kept closed till the strike is ended.
 All the strikers assembled tonight in separate secret meetings of the craft organizations. Strike commit tees were appointed at these meet ings to meet Wednesday and plan a strike campaign. Delegates are leav- ing Los Angeles tonight to attend the annual convention of the state federation of labor at Bakersfield the week beginning Monday They say the strike will occupy much attention by the convention.
