GOULD'S D|SOWN
THE COTTON BELT
BELIEVED SALE WILL BE
MADE AT AN EARLY
DATE
TEN THOUSAND MAPS ISSUED
Line Known to Be For Sale Treat
ed as Foreign Property. Sale
is Believed Near.

1t may be Of interest to railroad
men to know that the Cotton Belt
has been left off Of the new rail
road map just issued showing the
Gould lines.
These maps have reached Hous
ton and show the international q
Great Northern and the Texas and
Pacific in red and white, the rest
of the Gould properties are in
green.
The fact that the Cotton Belt is
showns as a foreign line probably
means that the property will be in
short time.
George Gould has been trying TO-
dispose Of it for some time. Both
the /. c. and the l.. and n. are re-
cognized as bidders for the road,
Frank Gould has opened the
sale with such a consistency that
it has led into an almost an open
break between him and his broth
er. Recently he advertised among
the stock holders for proxies, ad-
vising him to fight the proposed
sale with all their might,
The fact that the new maps, Of
which ten thousand have been is
sued fail to show the Cotton Belt
as Gould property, evidently
means that the deal is practically
assured.

but the men should have given more notice of
the strike and acted less precipitately. As it
is, they have alienated public sympathy, and so
the strike will be Ineffective - Mr.. Oppenheim
is director in several western railroad boards
and is familiar with railroad wages and general
conditions of railroad employment Such men
know that in England an ''engine driver" so
called, gets around seven shillings or $175 a
day of nine hours, while here in the United
States locomotive engineer is paid So day
more or less, for the same work The cost
OF living is less over there than here, to be sure
and the standards of living lower generally with
the working classes. But that will not account
for the fact that wages in the United States
average about 12O per cent higher than they do
IN the United Kingdom. High wages here are a
chief factor in the high cost of living to all
classes of the population. They may be too high
but there can be no question that they are
shamefully low in England. Just at the moment
the big strike seems to have collapsed through
promises made the men Of a readiustment of
wages somewhat approaching their demands But
there can be no permanent settlement of the diff
tlculty until a royal commission of some sort
investigates the whole subject and lays bare
to the world the almost unthinkable conditions
under which many British laborers live year in
and year out. Popular sympathy will go long
way IN securing their rights for them--something
that has been denied them in large measure in
the past

AVIATION PROGRESS AT HEAVY COST.

1t Is at heavy cost of human life that ayia-
ton makes progress. However, neither the sail
ing Oh the seas nor transportation on land has
Deen developed without a tremendous sacrifice
me fatalities IN the air continue but we who
are Tor the moment Mortified by them NAV take
encouragement from tht fact that the causes of
them are coming to be better understood More
than a hundred aviators have now met their
death, but little by little knowledge has been
gained as to conditions of atmosphere and ca
price OF air currents and men are beginning to
realize that the most perilous risks do not result
III the strongest showings of the usefulness and
durability of their machines
We do not expect that these casualties will
cease altogether The sea still claims it's vic
TINS after ages of navigation, and rairoadng
nils hundreds OF graves each year The auto
mobile also takes its toll But in all these lines
OF human activity experience reduces the number
OF accidents, and the areoplane will be no ex
ception
BY all means, the most beneficial influence
upon aviation is that exerted by men like At
wood; men OF technical training who desire to
demonstrate practical values rather than to give
spectacular performances. Both tombstone and
Badger met death at Chicago through reckless
ness, the former taking dangerous flight with
full knowledge that the gas pressure in his tank
had reached almost the bursting point, and the
latter plunging downward through the air at an
angle that had crumped other machines and
killed other daring flyers
AS soon as aviation settles down and loses
some OF the historical interest with which it is
now followed, the tendency will be more toward
reasonable and comparatively safe use of the
nylng machine and progress will be more sub
stantial.

GEORGE WINGFTELD
TAKES OVER GROUND

1t is currently reported and be.

millionaire mine operator, who spent
part of last week in Jarbidge with
a view of securing some of the min
ing property of that camp, has taken
option on the Success group of five
claims in the sum of 100000.
The Success lies just below the
Buster on which some of the most
sensational strikes have yet been
made, and there are several veins
on the Success which have been
uncovered and carry good values, but
the property has not been developed
as yet, and it means much to the
camp should this report be true

WAGES TOO Low.

Among Americans in England who have been
close observers of the progress of the big strike
over there there is very general agreement that
while the movement by the railroad and other
employees was continued and not started in
way to promise success the men have a genuine
grievance in the matter of wages-these are
rldiculously low. English workers are not re-
ceivng a living wage declared Jacob Schiff
Of New York Just before taking ship for home
last Saturday 4 believe that the present strike
will be an epoch in British industrial history y
was the emphatieally expressed opinion of James
h Keene, also of that city. Where it will end
cannot say. It is certain that there must he
something radically wrong with the fiscal system
Of country that permits such conditions to ex
ist where married men with families are ex
pected TO live on seventeen shillings TO n nonnd
sterling week. : THE amount of wages paid
in England-the low scale-is hardly TO be be-
lieved. " said Ansel oppenhem of st. Paul. Min.
