International News Service:
CLINTON. Ind. Dec. 9.-Nine
mines are shut down and several
hundred men are out Of en-

who drive the mules in the
mine have struck for higher
pay. Unless the mule cars are
kept going it is impossible 20 get
coal out Of the mines.
The situation would not be Sc
rious, II was said by mine off,
Gals today. but for the fact that
the car shortage has put the
mines behind $4,000 tons on Oc-
tOber deliveries. The strike
makes it impossible 20 catch up
and also shuts off a 20,0OO-ton
output daily. most OF which goes

players were placed on the barred

some players even entered a game

Boston kept company with him al

Boston kept company with him at
another time, and men we'll known in
English professional and manufactur-

stages of the tour.
All this would not have been pos

panions on the road otherwise. He
would have found it impossible to
"look up unto the heavens" or to

ther health nor enjoyment in the
long tramp through mountain passes

BILE inns at the close of day. AS
Samuel Johnson wrote: "There is
nothing which has yet been contrived
by man by which so much happiness
is produced as by a good tavern or
inn" and it was in the inns of
Switzerland that the pedestrian
found his sweetest solace after his
days in the open twenty-five years
ago even as to-day they stand with
open doors to welcome the passing
stranger to hospitable fare. They
were run then, as they are run now,
to heighten the delights of tourists
on the tramp or when journeying by
other means. They were not only
built to take care of creature COM
forts but they were all, even the
humblest of their kind, bureaus of
intelligence for the information of
their guests as to the best way of
seeing the country with the least ex-
penditure of effort.
This little tour into the heart of
the world was made quarter of a
century ago and many thousands of
other Americans have followed the
same itinerary in all the years that
have followed; and some of them at
least have brought back to their
"dear America" suggestions of how
the unequalled beauty and resources
of their own land might also be

GOOD ROADS AND INNS.
tBv American Highway Association)

There are a good many "Yankee
notions" that are really worth while,
and the most of them are of very
practical sort. For example, some
thing over twenty-five years ago the
United States Minister of Switzer-
land was New Englander who was
an enthusiastic believer in the out-o1-
door life. He thought that every
man ought to go out into the heids
and lanes and wash his lungs with
pure air and lift up his soul with
views of the open country with Its
marvellous variety of growing things
and the vastness of it's stretches OF
hills and valleys and forests and
streams, all held under the unmeas-
urable bowl of the heavens as II 1t
were in the hollow of the Almighty's
hand. He had been friend OF
Thoreau and practiced what ne
preached. The opportunity for out
of-door recreation was SO great IN
Switzerland that he asked a fellow
townsman, a young engineering STU
dent in that country, to make walk
ing tour of Switzerland and write
his experiences for number OF ne"
England newspapers. For three
months the young man footed it over
the roads from Appenzell down by
the Lakes of Zurich and Lucerne
over into the St. Moritz valley, to
Como and Lugano, back again to
Lake Lucerne and then to Chamonix,
through the valley of the Rhone, over
to Grindelwald and Thun to Berne.
Everywhere comfortable inn,, or
tavern, made the evenings as pleas
ant as the days were delightful; ev-
erywhere men of distinction were
encountered tramping along leisure
" and enjoying kind of life that
was q revelation to the young Am
erican. At times his walking COM
nanions were famous German pro-
fessors, for several days a high OF,
ficer of the Union Pacific Railroad

him, two of the leading physicians of

latiop that would like to live out of
doors. 1t is only within the last
few years, however, that any effort
has been made to develop the scenic
glories of the United States, and the
more the subject has been studied
the greater the enthusiasm with
which it has been received. During
the present year committees and pro-
moters of one sort and another have
been docking to Washington with
stories of the wonderful lands of
promise lying within a few days
Journey of all parts of our great do
main, mountains of majestic height,
forests of illimitable reach, water
falls of exquisite beauty, canyons of
almost unfathomable depths, fields of
everlasting snow, slow-movlng gey-
sers, miles of flowers and herds of
well-night forgotten creatures of the
wild, all inviting the world, weary of
the artificial ways of men, to the
open spaces where Nature revels in
her widest moods. At the White
House, for the entertainment of the
President; in the theatres, to the
great delight of packed audiences;
in the clubs, for the enlightenment
of the scientists who do not know
how it was all done because there is
nothing in their theories by which it
can be measured, and to the news
paper folk with the hope that they
might be able to intermit Mutt and
Jeff' for one day at least for the
people who take an intelligent inter-
est in substantial things, and before
committees of Congress that they
might appreciate the Importance of
opening the wilderness to the obser-
vation, if not the occupation, of men,
these missionaries have been proving
their speech by their pictures of
what the eye could see if only good
roads were opened to the wonder
lands beyond the further hills of the
impatient East.
Secretary Lane, of the Department
of the Interior, under whose pro-
gressive management the wild re-
gions of the United States has been
placed, has been doing his part to
make them available for the improve
ment of the people. 1t has taken
twenty-five years for even few pro-
gresslve communities lying near by
to appreciate the economic possibill-
ties of highway tourists as distln,,
guished from railroad tourists, and
to make provision for them in the
out-of-the-way places in the great
parks and reservations of the Nation
al Government. 1t has come to
pass that in some of these great
parks roads have been built over
which almost any sort of traffic can
be conducted and inns have been
built for the entertainment of man
and beast, so that in these places 1t
is possible for stage or automobile
or horse or footman to penetrate IN
to the very heart of things in our
Alps that lie beyond Italy. There
is s'money in it" for the forehanded
who will do their part, but the build
ing up of the wilderness is not pos,
sible without the building of good
roads.
It is only necessary to look through
the pages of an automobile guide to
see how thoroughly many of the lar
ger hotels of the country have recog-
nized the Importance of the tourists
as an aid to business. And the day
is coming in the districts which have
good roads where the smaller inns,
