from the Western point of view. Ren

is from a mliiina: neither is from
a state deeply concerned in the lumber
industry, and unless s,me Westerner is
designated to take Mr. f.onynce's plare.
the Industries .r the North Pacific
Coast and Rock ......iniain recion are
apt to be shabbil- tratd in the tariff
lll. as It Is oricinslly irawn and re
ported to the ..or.se.
t.ooci fare Taken of Fast.
It Is notd that both the fenate and
House committees are so raani-.el as
to arnt ample, y-s. more than anpl.
representation to the maniifartnrins;
states of Nw Knaland and th Kast.
but the eeorraphiral lines laid down
are deeidedlv adverse to tlie srreat
Western country, lint ef ejtht Repub
lican members of the Senate committee,
two are from N-w Knaland. one from
New York and one from Pennsylvania,
while of the 12 Republican members
f the- House committee, two are from
New England, one from New York, one
from Pennsvlvanla. one from Wst
Vlrrtnla. and the others, save Messrs.
Needham and . Iderhead. from the
manufacturing states of the Middle
West that is. north or the Ohio River.
The rtaten which dominate the
flnarpe anl ways and means commit
tees have Utile in common with tlie
stats of ttie Far Vrst and Pacific
foaf. Yet the true srnirment In fivor
of tariff levlsinn csni" from the West,
and the Fast wji forced to bow down
to public opinion. Wh.-t moie natural
than that Kastern Senators and Kr
rsentti v"s. who at heirt no not favor
tariff revision, should undertake to
punl:i the West by conflninc tlie revi
sion Isreeiy to S' hedules on aoods
which form the bats ,f W-strn In
Jtistrv a reduction of the duty on
lumber, on ooi. on minerals, etc.?
I'a tor F.a-t at Writ's Eix"nse.
It is a fi t well rvosrniie.l that New
Kn:and and the manufacturing East
ate in favor only of such revision as
will alve their mills cheaper raw ma
terials, and the raw materials, for the
most part, come fro.il the West. There
forv in fiamlnc and perfecting the
taiiff bill In extra session the West
will in many instances be arrayed
acalnsl the East. Numerically the
East Is far stronger than the West,
and If the East denies the West rep
resentation on the two committees han
dling the tariff bill, much injury may
be done, uni-ss Western Senators are
able, by an open flitht on the floor of
the Senate, to force concessions from
their Eastern colleagues. In this flRht
it is absolutely neccssaty that the West
should present a united front: other
wise the tariff will he revised to suit
Eastern ideas, and the brunt of the
reduction will come on products of the
Western states.
Pcrk-lns May Be Promoted.
There will be three vacancies on the
finance committee, one to be filled in
leccniber. two in March. Under a fair
distribution all three places should (to
to Senators from Western states, espe
cially as two of the vacancies are left
by Western men. th late Senator Alli
son of Iowa and Senator Hansbroug-h
of North lakota. But the West lias
not a superabundance of strong men
for these places, especially as new Sen
ators are never assigned to the finance
committee. Senator Fulton of Oregon,
who is a member of the committee on
committees in the present Congress.
Blight get one of the places, but the
people of his state have decreed that
he shall make way for a Democrat.
That liernocrsl certainly cannot go on
the finance committee. Neither can
ienator Bourne, for he is too new in
the Senate, and furthermore, he has
pursued a course that has not raised
htm high In the estimation of the Sen
ate leaders.
If a Washington man is chosen it
must be Senator I'iles. who will be
senior Senator in the next Congress.
There is . a possibility that he will be
selected, but the probabilities are that
If a Pacific Coast man Is honored it
will be Senator Perkins of California.
for he is the senior Senator from the
Pacific Coast in point of service, and
seniority will count heavily in this In
stance. The selection of Mr. Perkins,
while It would help the North Pacific
to some ex'tent. would not be an ideal
appointment, for Mr. Perkins will look
after the interests of California as the
railroads see those interests, regardless
of what may be the cost or the effect
un neighboring slates. Usually Sena
tors look not only after their own
states, but after adjoining states. Mr.
Perkins is not of that kind.
Warren Better for B'm.
If. on the other band, a Senator' from
the Rocky Mountain region is chosen.
Senator Warren of Wyoming will be
the man. He is the senior Republican
Senator from that section of the coun
try: he is popular, and he has a strong
pull. Indeed, the chances of Mr. War
ren's appointment are far better than
Mr. Perkins', if only one man is to be
taken from tlie Rocky Mountain and
Pacific Coast region. Being a big
sheepman. Mr. Warren would naturally
look after the tariff on wool and would
also have an eye to the tariff on min
erals, and would therefore be friendly
to at least a portion of the Industries
of the. entire West. Moreover. Mr.
"barren la a good Westerner through
r,a thr-nurh and Drohably would co
operate with Senators from the Pacific
Coast In looking atter inausrriea m
which his state is not directly Inter
ested, such as the lumber Industry.
Cushman or Humphrey Likely.
Over in the House the Speaker will
have to till two vacancies on the ways
and means committee, and it is barely
possible that an Oregon or Washington
man will get one of the places. Tne
Washington Congressmen stand the
better chance, because of their longer
service. Mr. Cushman has served five
terms and is therefore eligible to ap
pointment on the ways and means com
mittee.' Mr. Humphrey has served
three terms and is also eligibly, but.
ss he Is ranked by Mr. Cushman. is
not likely to be appointed. On the
other hand, both the older Washing
assignments, and the Speaker may deem
ton Congressmen have good committee
it Inadvisable to change them. Xn
that event thare is a posslbil.ty that
he may accord one of the positions to

resentatives Hawley and Ellis are very
remote, however. unless they have
strings on the Speaker that they can
pull with unusual vigor.
If the Coast Is not .recognized. Inas
much as a California man is already
on the committ-e. and if a Congress
man from the Rocky Mountain region
is chosen, it will be Mr. Mond"ll of
Wyoming, who is th senior Repub
lican member from that part of tlie
country and the only one with any
length of service to his credit, now
thiit the Colorado contingent has been
swept out of office by the Democrats.
Tlie outlook f-om tlie Western view
point is not as encouraging as it might
be. and It seems certain that the real

on th floor of the Senate. That is
when Senators will have opportunity ts
show their mettte and protect their
states against the greed of the East.
DENY SftLE OF BIG TRACT
TRAXsFER OF $20,000,000 FOR
lOAT LANDS REPORTED.
san Francis-co Offk-es of Miller and
Lux Make Vigorous Denial
of Story.
IX)S ANGELES. Cal.. Nov. ;i.-The ex
tensive holdings of the firm of Miller &
Lux in California ana Oregon are re
ported to have been disposed of Tor a
sum piaced at K,O0O.0X, of which Jl.000,000
is said to have been paid down. The
properties have been purchased by sev
eral wealthy German-Americans, headed
bv Liggett A Meyers, former wholesale
tobacco dealers in St. Louis. Adolphus
Busoh, the brewer, is said to be inter
ested to the extent of 11,000.000. The lands
sold include 4."A10 acres in California, of
which 3n. acres are oil lands, and 2.".nt
acres in Oregon. There are also 120.000
head of cattle and 20.000 horses. The deal
includes a virtual monopoly of the butcher
business of San Francisco, which, it is
rumored, will pass to some Eastern firm.
The lands are to be colonized as rapidly
as possible, it is asserted.
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 21. At the
office of Miller & Lux the report was
flatty denied.
It Is definitely known that offers
have been made to the firm of Miller
& Lux for its entire holdings on the
Pacific Coast. It is not yet known
whether or not the deal has been
closed.
SAN JOSE. Cal., Nov 21. Henry Mil
ler today is at his Bloomfield farm,
near Gilroy. Whe napproached upon
the subject of the transfer of the Mil
ler i.u holdings, he declined either
to verify or to deny the report as sent
from Los Angeles.
ReeeWer for Mining Company.
CHICAGO. Nov. 21. The- Mina Grande
Mining Company, another of the Rhodus
Bros, enterprises, hat been placed in re
ceiver's hands. Frank G. Farrington, of
Augusta. Me., and Clark W. Hawley, of
Chicago, were appointed temporary re
ceivers yesterday at Augusta. Me., and
application for a receiver for the firm
was made before Judge Kohlsaat, in Chi
cago. The application will be considered
November 27. Injunctions were issued
against the Rhodus Bros, disposing of
any of the assets or interfering in the
business of the company. The concern
is a Maine corporation, wjth a capital
stock of COiO.000. The petition for a
receiver was filed by six stockholders and
indicates the many charges of fraud that
have already been made against the
Rhoduses and which have caused their
indictment in the Federal Court. The
mines are located at San Antonio de La
Huerta. Mexico.
Secretary IVikon Lauded.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 21. At the final
sessin of the National Grange. Patrons
of Husbandry, a resolution was adopted

Agriculture Wilson for his services in the
development of his efforts to Improve the
condition of the American farmers and to
place research and education, in their re

Six Missing Miners Are Irre
trievably Lost.
GOT CONFUSED IN FLIGHT
Overtaken by' Fumes in Dash
Through Red Lodge " Tunnel.
Fi re Still Rages and Work
ings Cave In on Bodies.
HELENA. Mont.. Nov. 21. A special
to the Record from Red Lodge. Mont.,
says that nine persons lost their lives
as the result of the fire in the coal mines
of the Northwestern Improvement Com
pany. Three bodies have been recov
ered, but the others are believed to be
irretrievably buried beneath thousands
of tons of earth and burned to a crisp.
All of the victims with one exception
were Finns.
The six mtn who last night were re
ported as missing fled through Tunnel
No. 2 instead of going by way of the
airshaft. They were overtaken by the
flames and suffcoated.
Confused In Dash for Liberty. ...
The accident was not. as at first re
ported, due to old. walled fires break
ing through into the mine, but was
started by a miner's lamp coming . in
contact with timbers overhead.
The six men who were entombed ap
parently became confused in their "mad
dash for liberty and got beyond the range
of the rescuers. They failed to locate
the shaft through which more than a
hundred miners made their escape.
When the flames first broke out there
must have been 50 or more persons in
stope No. 2 whose lives were saved by
reversing the air-currents, thus driving
the deadly fumes in the opposite direc
tion. Bodies Under fircat Cave-in.
The fire is still burning in the mine,
practically the entire timber structure in
No. 2 stope having been destroyea. No.
2 airway has caved in and even If the
bodies of the six entomhed men have
not been Incinerated weeks must elapse
before they can be recovered. It will
require weeks to retimber the burned
stope. which is the main entry to the
east side mine.
Of the half hundred miners who wera
carried out of the mine on stretchers
yesterday all are recovering.
