IJE A UNIT.
Small men with small purposes do
not help to make a town lively and
progressive. The man who never
.contributes to public enterprise or
-voluntarily assists In supporting any
-public enterprise is not worth coax
ing to remain In town, and should
he decide to move away. It is a mat
ter of congratulation. It's units and
not ciphers that count. "He a unit."
A CITY OCT OF DEBT.
The Dally Courier-Post of Hanni
bal, Mo., makes the statement that
the city of Hannibal was entirely out
of debt September 1, 1908.
This Is certainly a remarkably fine
.condition for a city to bo In. Han
nibal should make that fact known
-all over the country, and It can do
.so with very .little effort. The fact
that a city the size of Hannibal Is
out of debt will attract so much at
tention In itself that It will require
very little effort in advertising to
keep that Item going around through
the papers for quite awhile.
Hannibal is in the northeastern
-part of Missouri, nnd no part of the
country Is advancing faster than that
sHectlon of the "Show-mo" state.
"Years ago Hunnlbal was a great lum
ber working and lumber shipping
point on the Miftsoiirl river. Its
lumber Interests were exceptionally
large, and very successfully handled
."by the men cngag -d In business at
that place. It mado the town well
"known and at that time It was a very
busy placo. When the lumber Intor
osta. up the Mississippi began to be
-worked out, Hunnlbal was ono of the
towns that began to fuel the decline,
.and as Hannibal was farther down
tho river than the Iowa cities along
Alio Mississippi It felt tho effect bo
1foro they did. Then for a number
.of yours Huuuihul stood still.
The census of 1000 gave Hannibal
xihout 13,000 population. About
that tlmo Its citizens awoke- to tho
Jnct that If they wanted Hannibal to
grow they would have to mnko
3tnown Its advnntngos. They then
formed tho Commercial club and
went nctlvoly to work to sccuro
ninnuracturlug Institutions for the
ttown. They wore certainly very suc
cessful, and today Hannibal Is a
thriving growing city, und nn Inspir
ation to tho country surrounding It.
It Is Just now blossoming out; It lias
ono of tho largest ccmont plants In
Che country, Inimonso shoo fnctorles,
".big flour mills, foundries, railroad
-.shops, pinning mills, nnd other Insti
tutions, nnd has n population of ovor
-.20,000. It Is essentially a railroad
.and manufacturing city, nnd Is sur
troumlcd by a fertile ngrlculturnl
(xountry. Its transportation facilities
snre first class, with Its four railroads
n tho Mississippi rlvor. It has
jgriHuI roads that woro originally toll
ronas. Theso go In almost all direc

As Tom Hall met Hugh McLain

Teacher "Across a knee."
Jackhon "No, I never take the

The Coal Minine Casualties In 1007
Heat Record of 1DOO.
Accidents in the coal mines of the
United State3 in 1S07 resiilted in i
death to 3,125 men and injury to
5,316 more an Increase of 1033 In
number of deaths and 516 in the
number of injuries over the record
of 1S06.
The reports received indicate a
death rate per thousand employes of
3.31 in 1906 and 4.86 In 1907, and
the number of tons mined for each
life lost decreased from 194,950 to
145,471. The state which had the
lowest death rate per thousand
(0.65) in 1907 was Missouri, where
499,742 tons of coal were mined for
each life lost.
West Virginia reported the largest
death rate In 1907 12.35 per thou
sand and the lowest production for
each life lost 65,969 tons.
Of the total number reported for
the last calendar year, 947 deaths
and 343 Injuries were caused by gas
and dust explosions, 201 deaths and
416 injuries by powder explosions
and windy shots, 1122 deaths and
2,141 Injuries by falls of roof or coal;
855 deaths and 2416 injuries were
ascribed to other causes. The fig
ures for 1907 show, however, that
explosions of gas or mixtures of gas
and dust have comparatively fatal
results, the number killed in this
way during the year being three
times as great as the number Injur
ed.
Commenting on this record in his
report upon the coal production of
the country, published by the United
States geological survey as an ad
vance chapter from "Mineral Resour
ces of the United States, Calendar
Year 1907," E. W. Parker, the coal
expert and chief statistician of the
survey says:
"It has been said that there is only
one way by wnicn accidents in coal
mines can be entirely prevented, and
that is by ceasing to mine coal. There
is no doubt, however, that the num
ber of accidents may be greatly less
ened, and much benefit Is anticipated
from the action of Congress In ap
propriating ?1.'0,000 to enable the
United States Geological Survey to in
vestigate the cause of mine explo
sions and make recommendations In
relation thereto."
CCRRY COUXTY FOREST FIRES.
Flumes Do Much Damage Near Gold
Reach.
The Wedderburn Radium says:
For the past week the country
about Wedderburn has been envelop
ed in a heavy pall of smoke, and fires
have been burning on every side.
The timber back of Gold Beach has
been burning for over a week; the
school house, and fences belonging
to John Prince at Squaw Valley were
burned; fire encompassed the build
ings on the Edson place, owned by R
D. Hume, but the buildings were not -
destroyed; Charles Bailey has saved
his range and buildings thus far by
heroic work; damage to range has
been done In the coast country near
Wakeman's, and the fire In that vici
nity is still burning. There is still
fire near Squaw Valley and some In
the country southwest of Alf Miller's.
But forty acres have been burned
over in the Hume holdings and the
fire Is extinguished. The rain which
commenced will doubtless bo Instru
mental in quenching the fires and
it was a welcome advent to tho
ranchers who have been apprehensive
of widespread damage."
