FATAL MINE EXPLOSION
Twenty Four Dead In Lelter's Fam

Zeigler, 111.. Jan. 12. The series of
mishaps in Joe Leiter's famous $1,
000,000 colliery here during the last
few years reached a climax shortly
after 1 o'clock this morning, when
mysterious explosion killed 24 men.
Nineteen dead have been recovered,
five are missing and are undoubtedly
dead, and two are injured critically.
This is the second serious disaster in
the Zeigler Coal company's property,
which has been the scene of several
minor fatahtiea and where for more
than two years a desperate labor war
was waged as the result of a strike.
An explosion in 1905 killed 85 men at
work in the mine.
Joseph Letter and his bride of half a
year were here when the explosion
happened. Leiter came to town sev
eral weeks ago to direct the fight on a
fire in the workings, which, after a
month's battle, was got under control

ed the first relief party into the mine.
The first coal hoisted out of the shaft

the full force of men at work during
the next few days.
The explosion was remarkable in
that except for the many dead it left
scarcely a trace and the interior of the
mine tonight shows no sign or damage

Venezuela Grew Tired of Government
of Castro.
Paris. Jan. 12. Jose de J. Faul,
special envoy of Venezuela, arrived
here this evening from Bordeaux and
was warmly greeted by a score of Yen
ezuelanu
M. Paul declared Castro's downfall
was the result of a conflict between
the country's ambition to carry on
peaceful internal and foreign policies
and the policies of Castro, which were
rapidly jeopardizing Venezuelan Hide
Dendence.
"What was the real cause of Cas
tro's fall?" M. Paul was a-ked.
"It was brought abcut," replied the
envoy, "by the necessity of averting a
revolution. It must be remembered
that Hollancd practially abrogated the
protocol of 1S94, whereby she bad un
dertaken to prohibit traffic in arms and
prevent filibustering expeditions and
revolutionary outbreaks. Having thu
a:rogated the treaty, the presence oi
Holland's warships would have render
ed us impotent to stop filibustering.
"Castro's present standing in Vene
zuela." M. Paul said, "is that of a
man opposed to his country's aspira-
tions. Venezuelans are weary of one
man's domination.
M. Paul expects to open negotiations
with the French government within s
few days.

the construction of a storage reservoir,
he details of which are yet to bo defi
nitely decided upon.
The per cent of irrigable and non ir
ritable hind is not definitely known,

of the company will be in the neih
borhord of $:t,M0,i!00. The company

tion of which the company is to main
tain the canals during that period. The

students, a gam of ;i3 over the year
previous. Ily the end of the present
term it is expected that the number
w ill have rea hed many l,.'i)0.
The fact that the codecs has out
grown its present accommodation for
handling such large numbers is aprt
niount, and it is pract.caily assured
that the legislature wiil be asked for a
larger appropriation for ma ntenan c
'.ban ever before The amount, how
ever, has not been decided upon. This
appropriation to be requested will be
separate from that sking for money
for additit nal building.

means tens of thoiiiiniln tn fir.,,,1
Ronde valley farmers and fruitgrow
ers. Stock is not suffering. Last year
was the second unusually dry season in
Fastern Oregon, and unless there is a
heavy snowfall in the mountains and
valley this winter's crop is likely to be
short next season. Unless a warrn

heavy snowfall. The rnlting snow is
very much better for crops.
