Evil associations very truly affect good morals equally as well as birds of a feather flock together. The new leaders who buncoed chairman Reifenrath have not explained up to date, just why it was that they could not deliver the goods. The Independent colored voters organization no doubt is responsible for several members in the legislature this winter. The Democrats should by all means for service rendered recoize the same and give them at least two or three positions at their command. Gov. Allen is getting so used acting as governor he will in good trim to take the offe two years hence. County Attorney Heywood, like Jeffries, proved that he had come back and nothing in keep him from that district lgeship tw years hence if he chooses. WOULD DEMOCRACY DISFRANCHISE THE NEGRO? Thomas Fortune, the vetereditor, sounds the alarm in Philadelphia Tribune that possible success of theocratic party in 1912 mayg dire disaster to the colpeople of the United Statesugh the attempted repeal of Fourteenth and Fifteen adiments to the Federal constin. He argues that should country be confronted with a contingency, the success he attempt would not be imbble, and indicates the sevstates that might be countpon to make up the necestwo-thirds of all the fortystates in the Union, toummate what he evidentlyves to be a unicersal Democ desire. To the sixteenhern states he adds the fiveer states of Delewas, Westinia, Tennessee, KentuckyMissouri as being sure to port the proposition and co thinks that Democratic legisla- Ohio, Illinois and California would be disposed to follow a like course. To complete the required thirty-two states, he declares that the evidence of discontent with equal suffrage rights manifest in Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, North Dakota, South Dakota, Oregon and New Mexico, would give this startling issue a fighting chance. To home folks up in the West this seems like a big piece of pessimism, but the wide experience and keen discernment of a man like T. Thomas Fortune forbid a hasty dismissal of the arguments by which he creates a foundation for such a doleful outlook. The fact that there is now a resolution on the calendar of the House of Representatives demanding the repeal of the Fifteenth amendment does not indicate that even a Democratic Congress could be prevailed upon to pass such a resolution. Even the possible and probable judgment of the Supreme Court, sustaining the recent desicion of the United States Circuit Court in Maryland, that the Fifteenth amendment nullifies all of the disfranchising laws of the Southern states, would hardly have the effect of precipitating such a national issue. The Democratic extremists in Congress do not fairly represent the progressive sentiment of the South, let alone the settled convictions of Northerners and Westerners who have never had any reason to feel that the ballot in the hands of a Negro is a menace to the welfare of the nation or of the white people of any state. The spirit of the age is conclusively against the reopening of issues that are fostered only by hte sordid freakishness of that Democracy which is outliving its time. The new Democracy seems to The Colored Statesman to be given life through the stress of the people over matters that are not at all in accord with any restriction of established liberties. The thought of the serious reception of such an issue in Colorado, Kansas, California or any of the freedom-loving states of the West, is monstrous. In the next two years progressive Democracy will be as much on trial as standpat Republicanism has been, and the wasting of the people's aims by fossilized Democratic legislatures would sent that party into far more hasty retirement. Nevertheless, it will be a happy day when these ugly fears can no longer find reasonable cause for expression. When it shall be definitely proven that the colored man's vote need not be based upon a fear of ontoward consequences, threatening the liberties upon which the virtue of his whole national life is dependent, it will be better for him and better for the nation of which he is now, and is to remain, a desirable part. To that end, it may be no calamity if the test shall come through the result of the election of 1912.—Colored Statesman. MEXICO. A few weeks ago the anniversary of Mexican liberty was celebrated with pomp and splendor, the like of which, all things being considered, had not before been witnessed. The great powers sent ambassadors and representatives to join in the festivities, and to protest the respect and good will of the civilized nations for the jewel of western liberty. Our country was represented by a special commission in addition to which Helena, Montana, Friday, December 9 1910 [Image of a man seated at a desk, holding an open book.] Prof W. T. Vernon who will soon retire as register of tae U, S. Treasury. He has made an euviable record. ex-Gov. Curtis Guild, of Massachusetts, appeared as the especial representative of President Taft. High speeches and warm expressions of regard and hops for continued amity between the two great republics of North America were heard from Mexican patriots and American statesmen. It was all sincere, and spoke well for the mutual desire of the two countries. Mr. Guild-was especially enthusiastic in the reports he made of his trip, of the friendliness of Mexico, the level-headedness of Diaz, and thewonderful progress the republic has made in just government and in developing its natural resources. To-day we are seriously discussing how to Prof W. T. Vernon who will soon Treasury. He has made avert war between the two countries. The present trouble is due to causes more than one, causes each of which is attributable to the bad behaviour of both the citizens of Texas and the Americans who live in Mexico, and protected by citizenship under our flag, fleece the people as they can, scorn the traditions and customs of the people, and flaunt insults in the face of Mexico officials. The wonder is not that Mexico is now indignant but that it has endured in admirable silence the arrogance and insults of Americans for so long a while. The Texans, of whom perhaps we should expect no other conduct, treat Mexicans as they treat their Negroes. Unlike 'their Negroes' Mexicans have not taken kindly to this treatment. The Americans sojourning in Mexico, if they have made any effort in that direction, have been unable to curb the exhibition of that contempt the American white man entertains not only for all colored peoples, but also for all his own projeny out of the bone and blood of women not of his race. Mexico is founded on liberty. There all men are free. No "color line" alarms the defenders of its civilization. No creed or race is helped or hindered by law of neglect or evasion, and caste is almost unknown. The Aemricans do not understand that doctrine, and are alarmed lest is crosses the Rio Grande and confuse and corrupt this nation, that has talked a great deal more of liberty and freedom than Mexico has talked of them. The Springfield Republican re- lates the immediate cause of the de present situation with a caustic ta comment upon the hypocritical tendencies of our countrymen towards the Mexican Republic: The violent attacks by Mexican dioters upon American residents and the insult to the American flag in Mexico City, much as they are to be deplored and condemned, were the natural sequel to the atrocious performances by our fellow citizens of Rock Spring, Tex., in burning a citizen of Mexico at the stake because he had murdered a ranchman's wife. Our white savages are a sorry national assert. They have grown so accustomed to lynching Negroes, even by the slow torture of fire, that they recklessly use the method on foreigners who can oon retire as register of tae U, S. de an euviable record. justly claim the portection of tracy rights; and thus they bring upon the whole country serious international difficulties. Indeed they bring upon the country "serious international difficulties," and a continuance of the conduct that has followed Americans into Mexico will bring upon us something even worse than "serious difficulties." It would be a prefectly proper thing if, in the interest of peace and decency, our Government should establish in the State Department a Bureau of Manners, which would look after our citizens who may travel in lands where the inhabitants are not "white, with sun-kissed curls of love and war." At any rate, we hope that some way may be devised by which Texas and American gold-brick drummers cannot lead us into war with Mexico.—N. Y. Age. The The astounding growth of sentiment in respect of the principles of the Socialist party was on of the really interesting disclosures of the recent election. Everywhere over the country, and in New York particularly, where Mr. Russell made surprising inroads in the strongholds of the old party, there were Socialist gains. For the first time there will be a Socialist member of Congress, Victor S. Berger of Wisconsin. What does htis mean? Do not sat it means nothing, for that would be foolish. Does it mean that the people want a try at socialism? Or does it really mean that they do not appreciate the obvious dangers of socialism? One cannot longer howl down the Socialist orator, not talk of destroying the Appeal to --- State Library We are nowloffering positively the best bargain ever offered in a Silk Petticoat in this city.

Mr. Russell's conceded brilliance as a thinker and writer may explain the phenomenal vote he got in the State of New York, but what of the Socialist candidates in other States and other sections? Socialism for good or evil, is making rapid advances. What do the Socialists thing of the absolue equality of man without regard to race, color or previous conditions?—N. Y. Age. THE NEGRO IN IT You may talk about the Negro You may name his faults finite; But you cannot turn a wheel That a Negro isn't in it. You may block his civil right You may say you are "again it; THE PLAINDEALER WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE REASON WHY The big damage suit was begun by the plaintiff so late that it failed to cause a sensation. So many people are living together without the formality of a marriage ceremony? Some who should be strong suffer the weak, immoral and ignorant to lead them on to their doom by the nose? The Plaindealer man is the subject of sympathy? That some people should wonder that they aoe not recognized at social functions, they should be barred from living in respectable communities. The lady asked some one over the phone would he always love her? A certain woman who takes another woman for her best friend, don't know that her friend is running under her for her sweetheart? The deomercats should not give their colord supporters political recognition in the legislature? The piano player went to sleep on his job? Some of those who attended the play called the Nigger laughed and applauded at the wrong time? The batchelors and grass widowers club did not give their party? The blue veins did not keep up their organization even though their leader had gone. POLITICALLY, WHERE IS THE NEGRO AT? ment of the Negro citizens in the South.

Loaded Preight Trains Going Down Hill Meet in Head-on Collision—Most of the Victims Lived at Hillyard—Both Train Crews Gone—Train Took Fire— Traffic Blocked for 48 Hours. Spokane, Nov. 7.—Ordered to pass the "apple extra" at Milan, Wash., train No. 451 plowed on through yesterday morning's early darkness, a bare hour or two before the Sabbath sun had arisen. Fifteen minutes later, and "451" and the "apple extra" were ground into kindling wood, eight lives were snuffed out, four men maimed and several hundred thousand dollars' worth of property destroyed, one of the most disastrous freight wrecks in the history of the Great Northern road. Around an easterly sloping curve of a side hill about two miles east of Chattaroy, Wash., 15 miles east of Spokane, the two mighty consolidated engines erashed together. Both were pulling heavily loaded trains of freight cars, and both were on the down grade at a terrific rate of speed, estimated by the crew survivors at 40 miles an hour. The collision happened to occur at almost where one down grade ends and an upgrade begins, so that both engineers were giving their big steel horses their heads for a good start for the long uphill climb, a combination of almost every condition to make the impact and its consequences terribly disastrous. Traffic on the main line of the Great Northern will have been suspended from 40 to 48 hours by the time the wreckage is removed, and the line is not expected to be cleared before tonight. The known dead: H. L. Hepburn, Hillyard, engineer train No. 421, body recovered. John Blanchard, Hillyard, fireman train No. 451, body recovered. Joe Keefe, Hillyard, conductor train No. 451, body not recovered. Allen Glass, Hillyard, engineer apple extra, body not recovered. E. B. McIntyre, Hillyard, brakeman apple extra, body not recovered. Unknown man, train No. 451, charred remains removed from fire. remains removed from fire. charred remains removed from fire. Two unknown boys, train No. 451. The injured: "Scotty" Dempster, 430 Grant street, Spokane, apple extra, right shoulder dislocated. —— Horsfall, Hillyard, conductor apple extra, bruised. Charles Bolton, Hillyard, brakeman train No. 451, head slightly cut. R. J. Armstrong, Chopaka, B. C. slightly bruised. Running on Fast Schedule. Train No. 451 was running on its regular schedule, westbound. The apple extra was eastbound, running on a fast schedule of five hours between Hillyard, Wash., and Troy, Mont. Train No. 451 was loaded with paints, automobiles, some furniture and live stock, most of the load extremely inflammable material, and considerably lighter than the apple extra, which carried, besides fruit, heavy loads of grain and lumber. Every man of both train crews that happened to be near the front of his train is dead. One brakeman saved himself by jumping, but he is injured. The brakemen who happened to be in the rear of their trains escaped with minor injuries. Conductor Horsfall miraculously escaped. The loss to the road in the wreckage is almost inestimable. A pile of 19 cars of train No. 451, jammed into the space of an ordinary living room, caught fire immediately, and were speedily reduced to a smoking mass of wood and tangled writening steel. This mass was burning at an early hour yesterday before fire apparatus, summoned from Spokane, 19 miles away, could start a stream of water on the ruins. Beneath this molten pile are the bodies of three trainmen victims, not recovered at a late hour last night. The smashup behind the engine of the apple extra was no less impressive, but fortunately did not catch fire. Bursted boxes of apples, piles of shingles, gaping sacks of grain, split articles of furniture, charred empty cans of paint and oil, twisted trucks of automobiles, and other ruined freight was scattered along the track for 200 yards. Explorer Rasmussen Tells of Interviews Had With Commissions of Explorer. Dr. Frederick A. Cook is further discredited in a special cable dispatch to the Chicago Daily News, from its correspondent in Copenhagen, Denmark. The story was the first publican of Knud Rasmussen, the Danish explorer, as sent by him to his wife in Copenhagen and now given out by her. Contained in the story are purported statements of Cook's two Eskimo companions in the polar quest, Apilak and Itukusuk, in which they confirm Commander Robert E. Peary's charge that Cook traveled in a circle and never even approached the pole. Rasmussen, in the story, is quoted as saying he himself did not interview the men, but the Rev. Gustave Olsen and Kateket Sechmann Rosebach, missionaries. Be pleasant every morning until 10 o'clock—the rest of the day will take care of itself. WASHINGTON STATE NEWS Margaret K. Caples; age 82, died recently at Chewelah. Thomas Bell has been appointed postmaster at Port Stanley, San Juan county. The Farmers' union and the grange are taking an interest in the question of taxation this year. The depot safe at Clear Lake, Skagit county, near Mount Vernon, was robbed recently, the thieves getting $155 in cash. The state of Washington, according to the latest statistics, has the unenviable reputation of granting more divorces than any other state in the union of equal population. J. A. Kellogg, pioneer business man, ex-mayor of Dayton, former auditor of Columbia county and state representative from that district, committed suicide at Seattle recently. He was dependent. Former United States Senator George Turner will be the principal speaker at memorial exercises which will be held at Whitman college Tuesday November 15 in honor of the late ex-Governor John H. McGraw of Seattle. State Bank Examiner J. L. Mohundro says that in future the state banking department will refuse to charter banks in communities where they are not needed, and will urge a change in the state law so as to make $25,000 the lowest capital permitted. Dr. A. A. Tozier, state oil inspector, has filed with Governor Hay his report of business done during the first six months of his term of office. His receipts exceed those of the same period of 1909 by $6,419. During that time he inspected 9,784,688 gallons of oil and collected $19,587 in fees. William L. Bilger and others who own land abutting Lake Washington, Seattle, have secured a permanent injunction restraining the state, county and contractors from lowering the lake level from putting the property in an assessment district and from issuing bonds or adopting any method that will cloud the title to the abutting property. Work on the irrigation project in the north central part of Okanogan county by the Okanogan Irrigation and Improvement company, which entails an expenditure of $300,000 for placing under water 16,700 acres of land, will be started November 15, according to Colonel A. M. Dewey, a director of the company. Former Governor Miles C. Moore has bought the 2,800 acre ranch of Frank Hoskins, near Dayton, for $180,000, the largest transaction of the kind ever recorded in that section. The Moores paid $105,000 cash and traded 4,000 acres of Franklin county land for the $75,000 balance. The land is located near Connell. Mr. Hoskins is now one of the biggest farmers in the Inland Empire. Ten years ago he was a poor man. The Amalgamated Band of the lower Yakima valley is the name that has been selected for the band being drilled by Bandmaster H. W.

The mining town of Wilkeson, in Pierce county, will make no tax levy this year for either city or school taxes, and the mining towns of South Prairie and Rushton will only make a 6-mill levy for school purposes. It is said the liquor licenses in these towns is sufficient to met all municipal expenses. In making up the material for a students' directory at the University of Washington it has been found that men and women students in several cases are rooming in the same house, a direct violation of the rules of the institution.

The trees are 10 years old. Standard Oil Buvs Rival. It is announced that the Standard Oil company has taken over the holdings of the J. C. Trees Oil company in Caddo parish, Louisiana, paying $9,000,000. The oil fields comprise 104,000 acres about 25 miles north of Shreveport. This is said to be the largest deal in oil lands in the history of the industry. A cheerful man is a pessimist's idea of a fool. ELECTION RESULTS --- Elections throughout the country Tuesday resulted in a political upheaval of far-reaching extent, equal to the famous landslide in 1892, and even more widespread in its effect. The national house was carried by the democrats, who will control that branch of congress by a safe working majority after March 4, reversing the present republican majority of 43. Representative Champ Clark of Missouri has announced his candidacy for speaker, to succeed Speaker Cannon. The United States senate will have a reduced republican majority, as a result of legislative elections held in many states. In New York John A. Dix, democratic candidate for governor, was elected over Henry L. Stimson, republican, by a plurality of from 53,000 to 65,000, reversing the republican plurality of 70,000 in 1908 for Hughes. In New Jersey Woodrow Wilson, democrat, was elected governor over Vivian M. Lewis, republican, by 10,000 to 20,000, reversing the republican plurality of 8000 in 1908. The legislature of New Jersey is probably democratic and will elect a democratic successor to Kean. Iowa is claimed by both parties. If Carroll is reelected it will be by narrowest kind of plurality. Democrats show gains. Charles Grilk, for whom Roosevelt spoke, badly defeated by I. S. Pepper. It appears that Mayor James Dahlman of Omaha, democratic candidate for governor of Nebraska, has been defeated by Chester A. Aldrich, republican, by a safe majority. Louisiana All Democratic. As usual, the democratic nominees for congress and state offices were elected without exception. The constitutional amendment providing a state bond issue of $8,500,000 in support of the proposed international exposition to be held in New Orleans in 1915 was overwhelmingly adopted. Colorado vote in doubt. Both sides claim victory on serached ballots. Straight tickets given Shafroth lead in Denver and Stephens lead outside of city. Foss Defeats Draper. In Massachusetts Eugene N. Foss defeated Eben E. Draper, republican, for reelection by about 25,000 plurality, reversing Governor Draper's former plurality of 8000. In Connecticut, Judge Simone E. Baldwin, democrat, was elected governor over Charles A. Goodwin, republican, by about 2500 plurality, revers Washington state went republican by the normal republican majority, probably more than 20,000 for the supreme court justices, who were opposed by nominees indorsed by the democrats and named by a nonpartisan convention. All three congressmen are republicans and are elected. Congressman Humphrey wins in the First district by thousands, as does Stanton Warburtion in the Second district, and the majority of La Follette in the Third district will probably be larger in proportion than ever given a congressional candidate in the district. The wife will follow. Congress, First district—W. E. Hum- berson Judge of the supreme court for the unexpired term of four years—Mack F. Gose, republican. Judges of the supreme court for the regular term of six years—George E. Morris, republican; Frank H. Rudkin, republican; Emmett N. Parker, republican; Mark A. Fullerton, republican. The woman suffrage amendment has carried by a vote of 2 to 1, and the approval of the amendment for succession to the governor's chair, in case of vacancy, is even stronger. Vote on Liquor Question. For the second time in the history of Wenatchee the question of licensing saloons was defeated. Colfax voters registered their preference for a wet town by a majority of 102 votes. After one of the hottest fights in the history of the town, Palouse voted dry by a majority of 11. Davenport voted dry by a majority of 24. Booze foes win at Prosser. Dries have majority at Colville. No saloas for Deer Park. Washuena votes "No booze." North Yakima votes wet. Wets win at Rosalia. Ephrata Wins. Ephrata will retain the Grant county seat by a majority of over 100, as a three-fifths vote was necessary for removal and Adrian falls short. FRANK KRAMER AGAIN CHAMPION Famous American Sprinter Wins Six- Day Bicycle Race in Boston Arena. In a magnificent sprint lasting for five laps, Frank Kramer, the American sprinting champion for the last five years, won the six-day bicycle race at the Boston arena Saturday evening, defeating Joe Z. Fogler by a wheel length. Foss Defeats Draper. The State Winners. Newport is voted wets Ephrata Wins. ing a republican plurality of 16,000. In Ohio Governor Judson Harmon, democrat, was reelected by an estimated plurality of 60,000. In New Hampshire, Robert H. Bass, republican, was elected governor by about 5000. In Pennsylvania John Tener, republican, was elected governor, but late returns indicate a largely reduced plurality. In Rhode Island, Governor Pothier, republican, was reelected governor by a reduction of about 1000 in the previous plurality. In Tennessee the fuston candidate, Ben W. Hooper, was elected by 20,000. In Michigan, Charles E. S. Osborne, republican, was elected by a plurality estimated at 40,000. La Follette Safe. In Wisconsin, Francis E. MeGovern, republican, apparently was elected by a reduced majority and the return of Senator La Follette is assured. Democratic governors were elected in Alabama and South Carolina. In California, Hiram W. Johnson, republican, apparently is elected by from 25,000 to 50,000. In Wyoming the election of Carey, democrat, for governor, is claimed by 4000. In Oklahoma both sides are claiming the governorship. Republican United States senators are assured from Delaware, Massachusetts, Michigan, Rhode Island and Wisconsin and democratic senators from New Jersey and probably from Tennessee, in addition to those already elected. Minnesota Republican. In Minnesota the entire republican state ticket, headed by Governor Eberhart, was elected. In South Dakota the reelection of Governor Vessey, republican, is probable. In Kansas Governor Stubbs, republican, is reelected. In North Dakota early returns showed Johnson, republican, leading Governor Burke, democrat. Texas elected O. B. Colquit governor and the entire democratic state ticket. The legislature of New York will be democratic and will elect a democratic United States senator to succeed Depew. The Indiana legislature is claimed by the democrats, but the friends of Senator Beveridge do not yet concede the claim. When James H. Hawley, democratic candidate for governor of Idaho, leaves the six panhandle counties for south Idaho he will carry with him a majority over J. H. Brady, republican, of more than 2000, and if reports at 2 o'clock Wednesday morning from the south, where Brady is rated strong, hold out Hawley will be elected governor of Idaho by a majority of 3000. Reports indicate that in north Idaho Hawley has swept Kootenai county by a majority of about 800. The State Wmners. The following seem to be winners: Governor—James Hawley, democrat. The rest are republicans, as follows: Representative in congress—Burton L. French. Justice of the supreme court—Isaac N. Sullivan. Lieutenant governor — Lewis H Sweetser. Secretary of state—Wilfred L. Gif ford. State auditor—Stephen D. Taylor. State treasurer—O. V. Allen. Attorney general—Daniel C. McDougall. State superintendent of public instruction—Grace M. Shepherd. Inspector of mines—Robert N. Bell. Although hardly 10 per cent of the vote in Oregon has been counted, Oswald West, democrat and former railroad commissioner, is believed to have been elected to the governorship of this state over Jay Bowerman, republican and speaker of the Oregon senate, by a plurality of from 2500 to 5000. Four republicans were elected justices of the supreme court: Henry J. Bean, Thomas A. McBride, George H. Burnett, Frank A. Moore. While the indications are that Oregon has gone "wet," later returns may show that the strenuous fight made by the "dries" was successful, but it is hardly probable. There is no doubt that A. W. Lafferty, republican, will be elected to congress in the Second district over John Manning, democrat, by over 5000 majority, and that W. C. Hawley, republican, will be reelected in the First district over R. G. Smith, democrat, by a tremendous majority. The greatest crowd in the history of Boston attended the race, packing the hall to its capacity. At the 58th hour the world's record for a race of this kind had been broken and the nine teams left in the contest were without doubt the finest in the world today. Civil service examinations will be held December 3 for rural carriers and Decary, Idaho, and Thornton, Wash. La Follette Safe. Minnesota Republican. In Idaho The State Winners. Oregon Results. Rural Carrier Exams. THE NEXT NATIONAL HOUSE. Democrats Will Be in Control of That Law-making Body. Democrats have gained 40 seats in the national house of representatives, assuring them not only control but also a substantial majority. The democratic gross gain, however, is reduced to a net gain of 37 by three republican gains. In order to gain control of the house it was necessary for the democrats to elect 24 new members. Assuming that the party will retain its representation in states not yet heard from it is apparent that the democrats have 13 members in excess of the necessary 24 to give them control. In the Senate. Returns indicate that the democrats have gained eight seats in the United States senate. The following states, which now have republican senators, have probably elected a democratic legislature: Indiana, Maine, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and West Virginia. Roosevelt: "Nothing to Say." "Absolutely nothing to say," was the word that came from Sagamore Hill tonight. Theodore Roosevelt was at home all evening, but declined to receive interviewers. The probable attitude of Colonel Roosevelt, in view of the result of the election, can be judged only by what he has said in the last few days. In his recent speech at Davenport, Iowa, he said if the republicans were beaten this time they would win next time, and that, win or lose, the fight would go on. Cannon Reelected. Joseph G. Cannon, speaker of the house of representatives, was reelected to congress from the Eighteenth Illinois congressional district by a slightly reduced plurality. Returns in Chicago and Cook county indicate the democrats have swept the city and county by from 30,000 to 40,000 votes. Zimmer, democrat, was elected sheriff by a plurality of about 14,000. Republican congressional head quarters coneade the defeat of Congressmen Madden, Mann and Moxley of Chicago. APPLE SHOW ALL READY. November 14, at Spokane, Will Be a Memorable One. The third National Apple Show, to be held in Spokane November 14 to 19, inclusive, will be on a considerably more elaborate scale than any previous exposition. Anent the show Secretary Ren H. Rice says: Our prize lists embrace cash awards and added premiums ranging from $25 for the largest singe apple up to a championship of $1000 for the best carload. We had over 2000 separate entries last year, with a total of over 1,500,000 apples. This year we expect 3000 entries and 2,000,000 apples. The National Apple Show is a public enterprise with two principal purposes in view: First, the education of the grower to better standards of apple growing; second, the exploitation of this wonderful resource throughout the world. While the show is conducted at a financial loss, our citizens support it because of its broad scope and educational purposes. Among the features will be the free apple packing school conducted every forenoon under the direction of J. M. Carroll and A. P. Bateham. We have instituted this school because of the educational value to the growers and to help relieve the demand for apple packers, which far exceeds the present supply. Monday, November 14, the opening day, will witness the first "Live Wire Convention" in the northwest. We have arranged this feature because apple culture is being encouraged and fostered through the commercial bodies and we deem it proper that they should have formal recognition on this occasion. On the opening night the queen's coronation will take place. This will be a magnificent spectacle, produced with all pomp and ceremony appropriate for such an event. Ladies' and Children's Day will be Tuesday, when the public schools of Spokane will close in order that the children may visit this exhibition, our school board considering our show of educational value to the pupils. On Wednesday we will have an apple packing contest among experts from all over the northwest, who will compete for cash prizes.

Lawson Mine at Black Diamond Is Now a Total Wreck—Timbers Two Feet Through and 20 Feet Long Hurled 2000 Feet—Instant Death Dealt to Men—Rescue Work Quick to Start. Seattle, Nov. 7.—With a thunderous detonation heard for miles around, followed by a stream of heavy timbers, rocks and debris that spurted forth as if from the mouth of a cannon, an explosion occurred at 6:45 o'clock Sunday morning in the Lawson mine at Black Diamond, which levied toll of 15 lives and three injured, and utterly wrecked probably beyond repair a property valued at $250,000, one of the deepest mines in the United States. The catastrophe marks the second of its kind in the history of the luckless mine, 15 miners having lost their lives in 1902. Dead and Injured. The dead: Julius Puysow, married, one child. Fred Settl, married, one child. Oscar Bael, married, one child. Caesar Bael, single. Cyril Maes, single. Frank Gardini, single. Isador Gardini, single. Joseph Kumer, single. Maetili Fanstiria, married, three child dren. Dave London, single. C. Beagi, wife in Italy. Dominic Gregori, single. Albert, Fontana, single. Francis Vergani, single. Julius Cappiati, wife in Italy. The injured: Arvila Martino, Louis Martino, Louis Kruntz. So terrific was the explosion that it shook the countryside for miles around and carried fear to the inhabitants of the mining district that a mighty seismic disturbance was taking place. From out of the mouth of the slope running to the bowels of the mine beached tons and tons of earth, rock and debris, huge timbers and steel supports, and, ominous in their import, coats, hats and caps—the wearing apparel of the unfortunate viemens of the disaster. Timbers measuring two feet in thickness and 20 feet in length were hurtled through the air a quarter of a mile. A great steel pipe was thrown half a mile with such terrific force that when it struck the earth it imbedded itself 15 feet. The explosion blew the from the mine practically all the timbers and supports in the slopes and airshafts, and the mine immediately began to cave in. That the 15 men caught in the explosion met instant death is not doubted. Shortly before the tragedy the night foreman had come to the surface. A routine detail, he chalked on the blackboard at the mouth of the mine his morning's report on conditions below, "O. K. No fire dump." Ten men, comprising the Sunday shift, entered the elevator cage and were carried below, meeting on the way five members of the night crew coming up. At some point, believed to have probably been between the fifth and sixth levels, when both shifts were in close proximity to each other, their lives were snuffed out. Coal Company's Defense. Its managers claim precautionary measures against the occurrence of explosions had always been taken by the Pacific Coast Coal company, owning and operating the mine, inforcing a rule prohibiting employees, on pain of instant discharge, from entering the mine with matches on their persons. As a general rule all employees are searched every few days. This morning, it happens, the members of the Sunday shift were not subjected to this examination. The only theory offering an explanation for the explosion—one which officials of the mine believe tenable—is that a fissure of poisonous gases opened within the last few days and, remaining undiscovered, was ignited by a workman lighting a match on the ascending or descending trip. For several days preceding and at the time of the explosion, the electricity had been cut off in the mine. Women and Children Gather. Barely a few minutes clapped after the report of the explosion was heard before every employ of the mine, realizing instantly what had happened and alive to the imperative necessity of beginning at once the work of rescuers, should there be any survivors, gathered before the gaping hole that once was the slope. Soon their number was augmented by the women and children of the neighborhood, among them appearing the anxious faces of the wives and children of the mine's victim. children of the mine. Under the direction of James Hamm, superintendent of the mine, the work of attempting a rescue began immediately, the full working force, 200 men, turning to-with a will. Then it was discovered that even had the men inside survived, their rescue was improbable, as the force of the explosion was so terrific that practically every bit of framework supporting the slopes and airshafts had been blown out and every ingress was choked up.

PRESIDENT PROCLAIMS Nation Has Prospered During the Year The progress of the country, as reflected by the records of population and harvests and the general conditions of international peace, are things for which thanksgiving is especially due for the year 1910, according to the annual Thanksgiving proclamation issued recently by President Taft. The proclamation is as follows: "This year of 1910 is drawing to a close. The records of population and harvests, which are the index of progress, show vigorous national growth and the health and prosperous well-being of our communities throughout the land and in our possessions beyond the seas. These blessings have not descended upon us in restricted measure, but overflow and abound. They are the blessings and bounty of God. At Peace With World. "We continue to be at peace with the rest of the world. In all essential matters our relations with other peoples are harmonious, with an ever-growing reality of friendliness and depth of recognition of mutual dependence. It is especially to be noted that during the last year great progress has been achieved in the cause of arbitration and the peaceful settlement of international disputes. Sets Aside November 24. "Now, therefore, I, William H. Taft, president of the United States of America, in accordance with the wise custom of the civil magistrates since the first settlements in this hand, and with the rule established from the foundation of this government, do appoint Thursday, November 24, 1910, as a day of national thanksgiving and prayer, enjoining the people upon that day to meet in their churches for the praise of Almighty God and to return heart-felt thanks to him for all his goodness and loving kindness. "In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. "Done at the city of Washington this, the 5th day of November, in the year of our Lord 1910, and of the independence of the United States the 135th." WILLIAM HOWARD TAPT. "By the president—Alvee A.

Hart, who owns valuable mining properties in the Libby district, died at that place after a long illness. A million dollars' worth of ore stands blocked out on four sides in the Lee Mountain mine of the Rimini district of Montana, just taken over by William A. Davidson and associates of Spokane for $150,000. Ronald Forholtz, a brewery worker at Butte, was the victim of a mysterious shooting Sunday morning, dying later in the day. Forholtz had been at a dance early in the night and his attentions to a woman had provoked a quarrel. Two railroad men, who saw a man running from the scene immediately after the shooting, followed him and notified Policeman Lawson as the runner passed him, but the officer said he "knew the man," and did not arrest him.
