OBEYING TEN-HOUR LAW.
Oil and Lumber Mills Working Only
Two Shifts.

SAAAN0s
DEMONSTRATING final disposal of
the litigation by the United States SUI
preme court, the oil mills and lumber
manufacturing plants in Mississippi
have settled down to a strict obsery-
ance of the ten-hour law.
In all plants employing day and
night shifts, laborers are employed on
the ten-hour basis, which means 90 hours
of work each day. In the few instances
where three shifts of eight hours each
were attempted the plan was found to
be unsatisfactory. both to the manufac-
turers and the laborers, especially the
latter, who were compelled to accept
smaller wages for their abbreviated en-
ployment.

CARLISLE-W. S. C.
Will Meet on the GridirOn at Spokane
Christmas Day.

SPOKANE, Oct 23.-East and west
will battle on the gridiron for the first
time in football history when the fam
GUS Carlisle Indian school team meets
the Washington State college eleven
in Spokane Christmas day.
Coach John R. Bender of Washington
state has received request for the
game, and has announced acceptance.
In addition to playing at Spokane, the
Indians plan to play at Seattle and
Portland on this winters trip.
Their game with Washington state
will afford the first opportunity for
intelligent comparison of the class of
eastern and western college football
teams. st. Louis university was de-
feated decisively in Spokane by the
state college eleven in 1907, but st.
Louis did not rank with the Carlisle
Indians, and the game gave basis of
comparison between the west and only
a limited number of colleges in the
middle west.

of students who rallied around the

fore the train left the station. Many

and will put the team at disadvantage

SOME WERE SAVED TODAY
New Mexico Mine Horror One of the
Worst Ever Happened in
the West.

DAWSON, N. NJ, Oct. 23.-With a
! giant fan forcing air in the gas-filled
mine, rescuers are working furiously
this afternoon to reach the 247 be-
lieved to be imprisoned in mine No. 2
of the Stag Canon Fuel company where
an explosion occurred yesterday after
noon. 1t is estimated that 287 were
at work when the explosion occurred.
Five were removed Immediately and
ID brought to the surface today. This
afternoon three survivors were found
and are being cared for at the mine.
1t is admitted there is small likelihood
of finding more survivors.
This morning IA corpses and 20 liv-
ing men had been taken out at 8
O'Clock. Rescue work is proceeding
cautiously owing to the deadly fumes.
The rescuers are equipped with oxygen
helmets and worked short shifts.
government rescue car is en- route
from Denver.
Most of the men caught in the
mine were Mexicans mad but few
were Americans, including General
Superintendent McDermitt and fore
man. Judging from the condition of
the mine which was badly wrecked
and the thick poisonous gases, it is
admitted that few more rescues is not
likely.
Coroner Shipes today estimated that |
the hopelessly imprisoned numbers
230 but thought that the others might
be saved. He called for all the cof-
ins and embalming fluid in Trinidad.
A throng of hysterical men, women
md children surrounded the mouth of
he mine begging for news of impris-
,ned relatives and imploring the res
.uers to save them.

northern Idaho by Acting President w
l.. Carlyle, Professor f. L. Kennard,
head of the department of agronomy
and R. B. Coglan of the extension de-
partment
DR.. Carlyle stated today that the
work of the campaign in northern Ida
no will be more in the nature of a cam
paign for corn and clover growing and
livestock production than a specific
alfalfa campaign, since clover and
other grasses are better adapted to
conditions in this section of the state
than is alfalfa. Throughout the grain
growing sections" said DR.. Carlyle,
Our farmers require a shorter rota-
ton of crops than it is possible to Sc
cure with alfalfa and they are there
fore giving their attention to corn, po-
tato and clover growing rather than to
alfalfa raising"
