Tha Ravensdale mine disaster Tues
day, which baa claimed tba largest toll
of life of anr accident In this state
since the workmen's compensation act
became effective mora than four J ears
ago, will necessitate an extra assess
ment ot approximately 175.000 upon the
coal-mining Industry, the Industrial In
surance Commission estimated today
upon receiving advices from Commis
sioner Clarence Baker, who la at the
scene, tbat 20 of the 31 victims were
married. It is not yet known whether
any of tha 11 glnglo victims leit de
pendents who must become pensioners
The Northwestern Improvement Com-
nsnv. a subsidiary of the Northern Pa-
clflo Railroad and owner of the mine.
will bo called upon to pay Zl per'cenl
of this, as tha largest single operator
in the Industry. It had a payroll ot
4H5.00O Ja.t year.
Since the compensation law became
effective, the commission! records show,
this company has paid into the acci
dent fund a total of 1129,000, while
Ita accidents have necessitated pay
menta of . 120,000. As this operator has
been slightly below the accident aver
age of the Industry, it Is not thought
likely that any attempt will be made
lo Increase its rate of asseHxment on
account of the ilavensdale. disaster.
The statute gives the commission
authority to raise tha rate when ex
perience over a term or years snows
that an undue hazard exists, as com
pared with other establishments of like
character.

Clubwomen at Odds With Per
sonal Investigator Appoint-
ed by Mr. Lister.
WHOLE CASE TO BE AIRED
Findings Relative to Jail Treatment
Are Qualified Intention to
Show Mrs. Ross in Bad Light
Is Thought Evident.
OLTMPIA. V'ih., Nov. 19. (Special.)
Mrs. Abhie Danforth and Mrs. T. J.
Hamilton, the two Tacoma club women
who have been making an investigation
of the night rider ca.ea in the North
River section of Pacific County, today
requested a personal interview with
Governor Lister before making thei
final report. A conference has been
arranged for tomorrow.
lilssenHion between the Tacoma worn
en and Mrs. Kate L. Young, of Olympia,
designated by Governor Lister as a per
sonal Investigator trom him, is report
ed to have arisen. It is believed, how
ever, that all four investigators will
ign a report prepared by c E. Muck
ler, of the State Humane Bureau, find
ing unjustified the complaints made by
Mrs. Margaret M. Ross, of the alleged
illtreaiment of her sons, Karl and
Frank, in the Pacific County jail.
"There will be more to this to come
arrival at Olympia in company with
Mrs. Hamilton.
Mrs. Danforth was referring to the
purpose of Governor Lister's appoint
mrnt of Mrs. Kate Young, of Olympia,
to investigate what Mrs. Young is said
to have termed "the other side" of the
case.
Mrs. Young is a sister of an ex-offi
cial of Taciflc County who has been
bitterly assailed by Mrs. Ross. She
kept aloof from the two Tacoma
women while on the train en route to
the scene of the trouble, according to
Mrs. Danforth, but came to them once
while in the car and objected to their
reading the testimony of the JJo.ss case,
saying it was unfair, whereupon Mrs.
Danforth and Mrs. Hamilton gave up
their reading until after their invest!
gallon on the ground.
Explanation la Promised.
Mrs. Danforth said that she and Mrs.
Hamilton want to explain to Governor
Lister certain things not included in
the report signed at Willapa Harbor
by them and by Mrs. Young and C. E.
Muckler, of the State Humane Bureau,
also appointed by the Governor to in
vestigate the charges made by Mrs.
Ross that her sons were being mis
treated in the South Bend jail.
The report of Mrs. Danforth and Mrs.
Hamilton will be changed and supple
mented, according to Mrs. Danforth.
Denial' waa made by Mrs. Danforth
that she had said that the Ross broth
ers never should have been convicted,
although she said that she was sure
that the felling of a tree on the van
derpool cabin could not have been in.
tentional on the part of the boys.
Saying that they may have a certain
amount of sympathy for Mrs. Ross, it
was explained by Mrs. Danforth th
she and Mrs. Hamilton do not uphold
Mrs. Ross and her sons altogether on
the points involved in tbe "night rider1
case. She said further that their at-
tiude wa not to be taken to mean that
there wore not points on which Mrs.
Ross migbt be criticised.
' Hoatllily to Mra. Roaa Intimated.
Mrs. Danforth reiterated charges
that the South Bond meeting of club
women was arranged by persons bos
tile to Mr. Ross.
The situation In regard to the reports
to be made by the club women and by
the Governor's appointees is as fol
lows, according to Mia. Danforth. The
four signed a report merely affecting
the treatment of the Ross boys in jail
Mr. Muckler and Mrs. Young did not
continue into the North River country
with the club women. Mrs. Danforth
and Mrs. Hamilton signed a report with
the understanding that they could
change it or supplement it if their
further Investigation inclined them so
to do. Having signed it. however, they
feel tbat they must report in person
to the Governor to go over the whole
situation with him, otherwise their sole
report would be made to the Tacoma
club women who asked them to make
the trip. Their report will go into all
details of the night riders' trouble, as
mentioned, including the circumstances
surrounding conviction of '.he. Ross
boys for assault.

SALIOM. Or.. Nov. 19. (Special.)
Governor Withycombe tonight reiterat

be disposed of for the best Interests of
the people and the railroad.
The Portland Journal s leading edi

Is based upon misrepreser tatlon," said
the Governor. "1 made no such state

yesterday as Is ascribed to me by that
newspaper. Yllat 1 did suggest was
that the surplusage resulting from the
sale of land and timber be divided be

BRIGHTER CHILDREN
Children are probably brighter to-day
than a generation ago but are they
stronger? That's a grave question.
So many pinched faces, dulled eyes
and languid feelings make us wonder
if they will evergrow into robust,
healthy men and women.
If your children catch colds easily,
are tired when rising, lack healthy
color, or find studies difficult, give
them Scott's Emulsion for one month
to enrich their blood and restore the
body-forces to healthy action.
Scott's Emulsion is used in private
schools. It is not a "patent medicine",
simply a highly concentrated oil-footl,
without alcohol or harmful dniRs. U
cannot harm: it improves blood; it bene
fits lungs and strengthens the system.
Your drunsrist has it refuse substitutes,

LAST NIGHT after the store closed, we went outside to look
at the Diamond Show in one of the windows.
Nobody knew us ve had our hats and overcoats on.
Two young girls were looking in the window evidently their
folks hadn't too many of this world's goods.
But the little one had a fine sense of humor Mark Twain
variety real American humor.
She changed her gum from the left to the right side of her
mouth and said to her friend:
"Say, Mamie, them diamonds are so cheap I don't believe I'd
care for any this year."
And Mamie said :
"Certainly. Let's not wear ours!"
SELLING JEWELRY has its humorous side, too. One woman asked
yesterday which was the best, "Rogers or Sterling Silver?"
Such is fame!
Another fellow bought a diamond ring and then confided in Rueff
(Aronson's diamond. expert).
"Say, Mister, I narent asked the girl yet. Suppose she turns me down.
Will you take the ripg back?"
And Rueff said! i "Oh, shucks; she won't turn you down, man. I
used to feel that ajj myself. She's probably wondering why you're so
slow. Sail right in ajjRsk her and don't take any 'no I' "
That waa two daylgo.
This morning the young fellow dropped in on his way to the office and
said to Rueff:
"Say, it worked all right. Christmas day's the day!"
And off he went. Happiest man in Portland.
..
AND it's singular how men and women buy diamonds, and pay as
much as would buy a city lot without any fuss.
Yesterday Mr. King sold a man, an umbrella.
Just as he waa going out he stopped and said:
"How big a reduction are you giving on diamonds?"
"One-fourth to one-third, sir," answered King.
"Think I'll look at one or two."
In Ies3 than ten minutes he paid over in greenbacks four hundred and
fifty dollars for a six-hundred-dollar ring.
And no more fuss about it than a groceryman makes when he does up
a package of biscuit.
EVERY DAY the sales grow larger. The absence of any attempt to
excite anybody the plain, straightforward-way questions are
answered all contribute to this big success.
"Is this stone perfect?" asked another buyer.
Rueff put it under the magnifying glass.
"No, sir. There is a little carbon on one side."
That was a sale Rueff DIDN'T make.
But, said he: (
"It never pays to tell anything but the straight facts in this business.
And, even if he lost one sale by telling the truth, he has kept the store's
good name.
And a good name is worth more than money in the long run.
HERE'S all this space gone and I haven't said a word about the
prices, or even tried to "advertise" anything! Nor have I said a
word about the competing jewelers who have spent a little adver
tising money to depreciate my efforts by roasting this sale in the papers.
And I am not going to! n
A newspaper man came in and suggested that "I burn 'em up once.'
What's the use? I know how the poo.- devils feel.
Think how you would feel your store empty as a drum and quiet as a
church, and Aronson's, a few doors away, just crowded with buyers!
Wouldn't it make you mad? J
Open tonight till 10 o'clock.
Plenty of extra helpers.
Be patient, please; they're all doing the best they can.
I tuank you.
