The Mississippi valley is now
in the throes of the worst flood
in its history and millions of dol
lars worth of property have been
destroyed. The levees have brc-
ken in many places and large
areas of low land have been in
undated. Farmers have aban-
doned their homes and fled to
higher ground and traffic is at a
stand still. Many towns are cut
off by the high water and food
supplies are running short. A
higher stage of water is expected
and it is impossible to guess how
great the damage will be. Peo-
pie in Idaho will certainly SYM
pathize with the stricken ones in
the flood districts, but meantime
we are glad we live in Idaho
where no such calamities can
occur.

The Grangeville Free Press
came out last week in it's new
linotype dress and certainly looks
all to the good. The machine
recently installed by Bro. Wise
ner is a late style No. 10 model
and cost in the neighborhood of
$500. 1t is the same size as are
used on the large city dailies and
capable of doing a great variety
of work. Whether or not a town
the size of Grangeville can afford
such an outlay remains to be
seen but Bro. Wisener certainly
has our best wishes for success
in his venture.

some means of knowing who the

not worthy of further notice and
his effusion goes the way of all

careful in seeing that none are

FIGHT FOR BETTER
RAILROAD SERVICE
Commercial Clubs of Fox River
Valley Cities in Combine.
CHARGE ROADS IN COLLISION
Northwestern and 500 Lines De-
clared to Be Working Together
improved Freight Service Psrticu-
lar Aim of New Association.

Appleton.-The Fox river valley
association of commercial clubs with
membership open to all commercial
and civic clubs from Fond du Lac to
Escanaba was organized here by rep
resentatives of the commercial clubs
OF Fond du Lac, Oshkosh, Neenah,
Menasha, Appleton, Kaukauna,
Green Bay and Marinette. Publicly
expressed, the object of the organi-
cation is to invite the managers of
the different railways TO meet repre-
sentatives of the club and see if the
difficulties now encountered in the
way of traffic cannot be righted.
Privately, it was announced the
object is to force the railroads TO
improve their service, passenger,
mail and freight, especially freight.
The chief attack will be made
against the Chicago & Northwestern
road, if the officials do not see fit
to improve the conditions. 1t was
stated that the Northwestern makes
or unmakes the service of the state.
1t was openly charged that the
Northwestern and 500 lines were in
collision for mutual protection; that
they took off fast freights at the
same time, and that they have an
agreement whereby cars on the two
lines are opened at the same time,
especially in Fond du Lac and Osh-
kosh

After dinner speaking is a part OF

humOr as soon as the match is light

houses send their authors to every
banquet within reach. The unfor-
tunates have to keep their evening
clothes by the bedside, and be ready
to slide down a brass pole like a fire
man as soon as a dinner alarm is
sounded. The small fry Of writers at
tend all sorts of dinners, from the an
nual reunion Of the Sons Of Sour Mash
to the feast spread by the Amalgamat-
ed Order Of Coach and Town Painters.
But the big chiefs-like the Irwin

sounded. Then you can see them
dashing madly through the streets in
taIicabs, YEARLY getting into the
first part regaIia and buttoning col
lars, and muttering the new stuff with
which the diners are to be RECALLED

they get away to the woods as soon as
the woods are opened in the spring.

MINERS FARLEY
BROUGHT To END
Country Menaced by Great Coal
Strike April |.
CONFERENCE IS A FAILURE
President White Declines to Say If
Walk-out Will Occur in Anthra-
cite Felds-British Nego-
tiations Off.

New York.-Negotiati between
the anthracite coal operators and rep
resentatiyes Of the miners were alb,
ruptly terminated and the menace of a
great strike beginning April L hangs
over the country.
At the final conference the operators
declined to recede from their stand of
Wednesday, while the union leaders
stood pat The session thereupon ad-
journed sine die
President White of the United Mine
Workers said: The negotiations are
at an end The operators have even
refused to discuss our demands with
US. There is nothing more to be said,
therefore. We are ready at any time
to consider any proposition which the
operators may make, if it is offered
in a fair spirit; but when they issue
a statement and say that it represents
their position from which they will
not recede, discussion is useless
Does that mean a striker" Presi-
dent White was asked.
4 have nothing to say about that"
was the reply. I'VE have presented
our demands, which represent the
terms upon which the miners are will
ing to continue relations with the op-
orators. These demands have been
peremptorily rejected and the opera
tors have even declined to discuss
them with US. What action is now to
be taken our committee will consider
at its next meeting. But certainly we
have no further proposition to make
to the operators and no demand that
we have made will be either modified
or withdrawn
The general belief is that unless
powerful influences which are at work
to prevent a strike bring the two sides
together quickly, April / will see the
Inauguration of a bitter struggle,
which may involve the bituminous as
well as the anthracite interests
throughout the country.
London.-Having utterly failed to
reach any agreement, the conference
between the coal miners and operators
was broken off 1t was announced
that the government will now act to
end the strike by introducing a mini
mum wage bill

the bandit who, known as BLACK
Bart, terrorized the people of the
upper peninsula and northern Wis

Holzhay was sentenced for life

THIRTY-ONE HURT IN WRECK
Passenger Train PIunges Into Ditch
Near MiIwaukee-None Are
Seriously Injured.

Milwaukee. - Thirty-one persons
were injured, none seriously, when
train No. % of the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul road, bound from
Milwaukee to Chicago, was derailed
one. mile north of Oakwood station,
ten miles south of Milwaukee. Four
of the injured were taken to hospi-
tails, While the others returned to
their homes or resumed their jour
neys.
Five of the seven coaches making
up the train were hurled down a ten
foot embankment and overturned,
one of them turning completely over
four times. Two of the coaches, the
diner and parlor car, together with
the engine, remained upright.
The train was running about forty
miles an hour at the time, and rail
road men consider it a miracle that
none was killed. A broken flange is
thought to have thrown the engine
tender from the track, and all the
coaches but two followed. The en-
CINE was stopped a quarter of mile
away.

One Patient Committed to Wisconsin
Institutions Every Forty-Eight
Hours, Shows Report.

Madison.-One person goes insane
in Wisconsin every forty-eight hours
and is committed to a public asylum,
according to statistics issued by the
state board of control. On Feb. 20
there were $500 patients in state
and county asylums, an increase of
363 over the number on Feb. %,
1910.
The total number of insane in state
hospitals on Feb. 20 was 1,175,
which as compared with that of two
years ago, marks a decrease of 10,
due to the fact that the Mendoza asy-
lum was under quarantine for three
months during an epidemic of diph-
liberia. Patients We're temporarily
committed to county asylums dur
ing that period.
The total number of patients in
county asylums on Feb. 20 was s.

indian Girls Good Shot

One of the prettiest exhibitions Of
craftsmanship ever seen here was
witnessed by a crowd In the vicinity
OF the postofice.
One of the halyards attached to a
flag on high pole of a riding de-
vice snapped and the flag and halyard
twisted themselves into the pulley in
such a way that it was impossible to
get the flag down. The manager of
fered $25 to any one who would get
he flag down Wenona, an Indian
girl. overheard him and procured her
rifle.
From where she stood to where the
flag was flying from the pole was fully
500 feet. The pulley was so well con-
cealed by the flag that ouly a small
piece of the top of the eyelet was
visible. Carefully sighting, Wenona
fired and the first shot cut the pulley
from the pole and sent the flag flying
down.-Venice Correspondence Den

DIXIE REPAIR FUND is SMALL
Onlf SAL Avail able for Relief of
Portage Flood PerH-SpeciaI Act
of Legislature Is Necessary.

Madison.-A delegation from Por-
tage held conference here with
Gov. McGovern, State Treasurer Dahl
and Attorney General Bancroft with
regard to the anticipated flood dan
ger along the Wisconsin, river.
State aid is needed to repair the
river levees, and it is understood that
if the governor calls a special session
of the legislature and considers the
situation at Portage of sufficient mo-
ment, that an appropriation will be
suggested at that time
Prior to 1904 all money received
by the state from the sale of swamp
land was deposited in a state drain
age fund for reformation purposes.
At that time little financial aid was
necessary, and after a balance of
100000 had accumulated, the mon
ey was turned over to the state gen
eral fund. The drainage fund at
present amounts to but SAIL, which
would be of little effect in the pro
posed repair work at Portage 1t
will be necessary to approve the ap-
preparation through a special act of
the legislature if the city is to re-
ceive substantial aid

reasons for resigning and outlining his
position as father of the pure food
law and guardian of the national
health
Doctor Wiley calls attention to
his exoneration of any wrong doing
by the president and a congressional
committee. Then he goes on to say:
Il naturally expected that those who
had made these false charges against
me would no longer be continued in
position which would make a repeti-
ton of such an action possible. The
event, however, has not sustained my
expectations in this matter l was
still left to come into daily contact
with the men who secretly plotted my
destruction"

would devote the rest of his life to
urging the creation Of a national
health department entirely separate
from any other branch of the govern.
