London.-English society has been
interested lately in the question OF
the coming out of her royal highness
the young Princess Mary. AS the only
daughter of the king of England it is
natural that there should be much
speculation as to her future prospects
and her name has already been cou-
pied by matchmakers with those OF
several foreign royalties.
Princess Mary was sixteen years old
on April &c, but Queen Mary has no in
tention Of introducing her daughter to
the world as a grownup woman till
after she is eighteen. AS matter OF
fact. the princess looks younger than
her real age, and in mind and educa-
ton she is younger. for though natur.

vantage she has been brought up so
simply that in mind she remains some.

Wheatland, Wyo.-Old Whitley, an
unusually large gray wolf whose dep

this section $4,000 during the past
five years, was slain by George Rooms

STUPENDOUS TASK
FOR COMMISSION
Physical Valuation of Railroads
Big Cost.
PLANS GIVEN TO CONGRESS.
officers OF Interstate Commerce Com.
mission Estimate It viii Take
From Five To Seven
Years.

Washington,-Phy valuation of
the railroads of the United States by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
will take from five to seven years by a
specially organized corps of men, and
will cost the government from S10,-
100000 to $l5,000,000 or more, accord
ing to plans of the commission pre-
scented to the House Appropriations
Committee. The commission has
asked for an immediate appropriation
OF $1500,000 for the organization Of
the corps of engineers necessary to
undertake the work.
commissioners Clements and
Prouty, and Secretary George b. Nc
Ginty. of the commission have told
the House appropriations sub-commit-
tee that a carefully worked out esti-
mate places the cost of the field work
at $1921,5OO year throughout that
period.
The plan presented by Mr. McGinty
contemplates the division of the coun-
try into five districts containing ap-
proXmately $4,000 miles of railroad
each
Mr. McGinty has explained to the
committee that the estimated cost per
year of each of these district organ
izations with their groups of field
squads would be about $384,300, or a
total per year for the five districts of
nearly two million dollars. In add
ton to this he estimated that the ac-
counting feature of the work would
cast about $350,000 year, and that
the maintenance of a valuation office
in Washington would cost probably
$4,000 a year.
Although the committee was
skeptical Mr. McGinty was confident
that the commission would be able to
get the field force organized through
the. civil service commission by the
first of next year, to take care of the
first years work. 1t was for this pur-
pose, he said, that the commission
needed $1,500,000.
Mr.. McGinty mentioned cases where
it cost from SO to SIS mile to ascer-
tain the value of railroads
In all of these cases only the re-
production value of the road was
ascertained,' he continued, whereas
we are required to ascertain
the reproduction value, the de-
preciated value and, in addition, to
work out the history OF the roads and
ascertain the amount of money invest
ed in their original construction. The
total cost to the government will prob
ably exceed $50 mile or a total cost
of from S1O,O0O,OO0 to $15,O00,O 900, but,
of course, this is only a guess.

that the American Government would

Americans eXpeditiously from the

This procedure, ii is felt. would
minimize the chances for interna-

dication, incidentally, that the Wilson

policy toward recovering damages to

Bodies Widely Scattered
1t is not known exactly what caused
the explosions, but the miners at the

the first one was of dynamite and the
second was caused by gas which had

plosion. The dead were scattered
about for about a quarter of mile,
Only three men were taken out alive
and one of these died on the way to

when the first explosion occurred He
was rescued several hours later
Lorenz has only slight chance of
recovery.
Superintendent Lorenz was found

1t is possible that the real story of
the explosion may never be told, as all
who were in position to know were
killed.
Superintendent Lorenz was about
500 feet from the first explosion and
it is not thought that he knows the
cause
When the rescuing force came upon
superintendent bOrenz after a walk in
a circuitous route of about a mile
they found him barely able to crawl.
Asked how he was, he replied:
ooh, am pretty sore and tired but
never mind me, go and help Jack
Farrell; he needs your help. Leave
me alone and take care Of those who
need help more than l do"
The men were killed in three diff
ferent ways. Some of them were
hurled violently against the side of
the tunnel in which they were work

death by the explosion of gas and
others were suffocated by the after
