The vanished fragments of the car
yielded eagerly to the darling tongues
of Lame which ran along the ground
under the debris or Kissed against the
pitifully inadequate water which was
futilely poured on the wreckage from
above, as volunteers hurried back and
forth from the engine with pals.
Hewing desperately, Williams at
last cleared small opening above
which the wreckage piled itself in
such shape as TO form triangular ori-
fice Buck dropped to his knees and
peered beneath. The fast increasing
fire volleyed forth a great cloud of
smoke through the new hole, which
only appeared to create better draft
for it's more rapid progress.
The American wOrmed himself into
it, twisted and writhed forward.
Come back, Buck!" cried Martin
grasping his leg. "He's only guinea,
anyway-not worth the risk,
But the American obstinately jerked
himself free and disappeared into the
mass of steel and splinters. A little
way ahead, to the right of him, he
could discern a small, inert, chocolate
colored body, unconscious of the reek'
ing smoke which already thinly en-
shrouded his calm face.
Buck grasped him.
The body yielded easily, as if des-
tiny itself had arched over it pro-
lection. Very slowly he worked his
way back through the dense, Sitting
atmosphere. A shower of sparks
swept down his neck burning him bit
terly; but Buck was needless of it.
Obstinately propping himself now
on one hand and knees, and again
pushing himself backward as he flat
tened out, he never relaxed his griI
on the unconscious diminutive figure
Eager hands dragged them both from
the opening.
AS the American emerged and the
others caught sight of the limp body
he had rescued, the passengers broke
into cheer.
''Cripes!" gasped Williams, beating
at his scorched neck until the smolder
ing around the collar of his coat was
extinguished. Somebody get me some
vaseline or engine Oil -
He laved his burns eagerly, ther
knelt to examine the motionless body
he had dragged to safety.
'Give me some water, will you?
ne commanded, reaching for his hip
pocket with the words. With his own
hands he washed the blood from the
little mans head and bound it rOunC
with his handkerchief, after tearing il
in twain and knotting the ends to-
gether.
"On1y a scratch he muttered.
He forced the neck of his flask be
tween the lips of the unconscious doll
like figure. The fire was nearly out
and the section men from Separ were
already over the edge Of the steep
bank. A whistle was sounding family
down the road in front.
The head brakeman came YEARLY
back to the group around the dead
and injured and handed a telegram to
Conductor Martin.
Extra tWenty-seven siXty-nine's
engine and a wrecking crew have been
sent back from Deming; that's her
whistling now," explained the train
man.
Jitendra stirred.

Geo. Manley that the City Attorney
be instructed to look up the law of
1919 in regard to Uny Dog license.
Roll call. All voting aye. Noes
none.
City Attorneys opinion read as
follows.
Re: Eight hour law Tor Cities:
I find no law prescribing an eight
hour day for employees Of a city of
the fourth class such as Ladysmith
is. Section 1929 of the Wisconsin
Statutes provides that unless there
is an express contract to the con-
trary, in all engagements to labor in
onv I7,opufo ot,1r;no or ,,,noboyio
business, a days work shall consist
OF eight hours and all contracts for
labor in such cases shall be continued
to mean an eight hour day. but this
section expressly provides that it
shall not apply to any contract for
labor by the week. month or year.
AS the City makes no contracts
for labor in any manufacturing or
mechanical business, this statute has
no application to City employees.
Section 1729M of the Wisconsin
Statutes provides for an eight hour
day in every contract for erecting
any public buildings or constructing
any public works to which the state
is party or to which any county Of
100000 or more population is par
ty. Cities are not included in this
section.
have found no law whatever linn
iting the hours Of labor of city en-
ployees to eight hours except as above
stated.
l might add that Section 1729M of
the Wisconsin Statutes was amended
in July 1919, so that in case Of con-
tracts by the state for the construc-
ton and maintenance of public high
ways, it is now expressly stated that
as to such construction, the eight
hour law shall not apply.

Packers Seek
ToEvade Spirit
OF Agreement

Washington, Sept. 17.The plan
proposed by the big five packers to
dispose of their stock yard inter-
ests to F. Fl. Prince & company of
Boston. will not result in the sep
aration of the stockyards from
packer interests, the federal trade
commission declared today in a re-
port to Attorney General Palmer.
The commission gave two reasons
for it's conclusion as follows:
The long time stockyards reia-
tions of 4. H. Prince with the pack
'ers' have been such that the pban
will not result, instf1e opinion or the
commission in a enforcement of the
'stockyards from packer interests.
THE plan as outlined will result,
in the opinion of the commission in
an infraction Of the monopoly law
of the land greater and more seri-
ous than the erisiting ihfraction."
The packers plan to dispose or
the stockyard interests drawn up
after the filing Of consent disso-
luton decree in federal courts here
agreed upon by the packers and
the department of justice as re-
suit of antitrust suits brought
against the packers at Chicago.

Sand Companies
Protest Royalty

Representatives of sand and gra-
vel companies in Oregon appeared
before the state land board here
Thursday to ask that the state rvs
atty of 10 cents per cubic yard be
waived on all sand and gravel ex-
cavated from beds of navigable
streams on contracts executed be-
fore thel aw became effective. HI.
L. Rafferty, of Portland, L. A. CAL
lagher of Corvallis and F. P. Morey
of oregon City appeared before the
board to urge this waiver of royal
ty claims which they declared to be
unjust.
fhe imposition of the state royal
ty has put many of the sand and
gravel companies in the state face
to face with the problem of con-
tinuing in business in the face of
unequal competition. according to
F. p Morey of the oregon City
Sand & Gravel company who de-
clared that the state royalty repre-
sented a serious menace to his COM
pany with the prospect of counties
erecting and maintaining their own
bunkers in order TO escape the roy
alty payment.

ing that If the legislature gave the

construct highways then the COM
mission has the power to designate
the routes, whether temporary or

solved the injunction suit OF Nal

commission.
Moody sought to prevent the
highway commission from building
a strip of road. half a mile In

that as the road was not a perma-

not have the legal power to do so.

A battery of Cox speakers Is soon
to be invading all the counties Of
Oregon. In meetings OF leaders for
the last several days in Portland,
speakers have been selected, tena-
tive speaking places and dates ar
ranged and the entire program
gone over in the minutest detail.

Cox supporters describe the speak

Milton A. Miller will open the
campaign in an address at Astoria
Friday He will speak to the new
ly organized Cox Roosevelt club in

ing the visit of Miller to Astoria,
other prominent Cox men will be

casion and now has the opposition
Of the farmers of his own state to
overcome, his vigorous opponent
has a record Of unknown fidelity
to the interests of the farmer.
The Cox speakers will bore into
the speech by Harding in the sem
ate in which he declared for dollar
wheat. On this point Harding said:
.In this latter day farming has
become an occupation for profit;
and I happen to know that under
normal conditions, dollar wheat
makes it a very profitable occupa-
ton"
To Attack Harding.
They will also attack Harding on
his speech in the senate In which
ne opposed the farm loan act. On
this he said:
Il will not assume to say that
conditions in Ohio are altogether
like those in other states in the un-
ion, but I.believe l can state an abb
solute truth when l say that there
is no need for measure of this
kind for the agriculturists OF Ohio
than the government to step in and
take charge of all our industrial
and productive affairs in that
state"
The speakers on the other hand
will point to Coxs record in Ohio.
During his administration a law
combining all agricultural activities
under jurisdiction Of an agricultural
commission was established, provis-
ion was made for study and estab-
lishment of a farm credit plan, a
produced to consumer market bu-
reau was established, labor short
age on farms was met by the state
placing 5000 tractors into the fields
and a tractor school was conducted

Cox was also responsible for pro-

ing the loss from cattle destroyed
because of disease from the farmer
to the state, and for system OF
main-market highways.
