Letter Is Atllres.sl to Mrs, John Logan That Is Anything but Complimentary to Troops. Denver, July 19. The ways and means committee of the Western Fed eration of Miners has appealed to the Red Crosa society to take charge of the distribution of funds and the gen eral relief work for families of de ported miners In the Cripple Creek district A communication addressed to Mrs. John A. Logan, president of the society, deals In part aa follows: "After having been deported from their homes the husbands and fathers, they now refuse to allow relief In the way of food and clothing to be issued to the wives and children, unless It be through the hands of the military authorities. "We do not feel Justified in trusting the matter of relief to the military, feeling, satisfied that owing to the hatred they have shown to our people they would not faithfully carry out this great trust "Now, therefore, knowing It to be the mission of the Red Cross Society, of which you are the official head, to take charge and as much aa possible eliminate suffering caused by the cruelties of war, we earnestly appeal to you to arrange to. have your noble organisation take charge of the dis tribution of food and clothing to the families of deported cltlsens of Teller county. We will furnish all necessary supplies and only ask that your or ganisation take charge of the dis tribution of the same."

HOTEL PORTLAND The Finest Hotel In the Northwest PORTLAND. OREGON. Almost ready for her trial trip, the steamship Minnesota lies moored be side her sister ship, the Dakota, at the yard of the Eastern Shipbuilding Com pany at New London, says the Provl dence Journal. To the landsman the ship seems complete, although painters were covering the steel masts last week with their final coat of yellow, and there were other evidences that odds and ends of work were being fin lshed. It Is hard to realize the size of this steamship, which, although in tended as a freight steamer for the trade between the Pacific coast and the east, has in some respects one of the finest passenger equipments In the world, and has accommodations for more than 3,000 person; 175 first cabin passengers, 110 second cabin, 70 third cabin and 2,400 sterage passen gers, a total of 2,755 berths In addi tion of berths for a staff of 48 officers and a crew of 230 men. Every room for first, second and third-class pas sengers Is located above he deck, in deckhouses, nearly amidships, and all are outside rooms. There are dining saloons, a library, a ladies' boudoir, smoking rooms, barber shops and com modlously furnished halls. The san itary system equals the best shore installations, and fresh and salt water hot or cold, Is delivered to all parts of the ship. All the living spaces are ventilated artificially, as well as nat urally, and electric heaters are used In the rooms. The vessel has a well-ar ranged, electrically operated steam laundry, perhaps he finest plant of the kind on any merchant vessel, while the electric plant was Intended to be the largest and finest ever plactd on board an ocean vessel, all of the aux Mary machinery and appliances out side of the machinery space except the windlass being electrically operated. And yet this steamship, like the Da kota, both resulting from the genius of James J. Hill of Minnesota, head of the great Northern Steamship Com pany, owner, is not a passenger ship, as such, but a freight carrier, her freight capacity being equal to 100 trainloads of 25 cars per train on each voyage, or a single train seven miles long. The Minnesota has a greater dis placement than that of any other ves sel In the world except her sister ship, the Dakota, which lies at the dock be side her, some distance behind her In that of the White Star liner Baltic, the world's greatest passenger steam ship. In length the Cedrlc, Celtic Oceanic and Baltic surpass her, and in breadth the Cedrlc and the Celtic have an advantage of 18 inches, while the Baltic Is also wider. But the Min nesota and the Dakota are nearly seven feet deeper, and have a dead-weight capacity one-half greater than any of these ships, except the Baltic. The Minnesota has a dead-weight capac ity of about 28,000 tons, the capacity of the Baltic, and can carry 280,000 bar rels of flour. The Minnesota Is the greatest cargo carrier ever designed or built as a freight steamship, and, like the Dakota, Is the heaviest vessel ever built under the survey of the British Lloyds, the frames and plating being about one-half heavier than those of, other great vessels In their class, and largest American battleship. Five approximately double the weight and thickness of the steel structure of the continuous steel decks extend the en tire length of the hulls, and there Is a double bottom of solid plate. The steel plates of the vessel are from one to two Inches thick, and are bold by 2,500,000 rivets, pneumatically driven, There are about 12,000 tons of steel plates and shapes In the hull and decks of the Minnesota, which la one-third greater than the total tonnage of structural Iron and steel In the Park Row building, New York. There are two winches and two booms at each hatch for the handling of cargo, 34 steel booms In all, and all electrically operated. One hold Is completely Insulated, devoted to car rylng frozen meat, with a capacity of 2,500 tons. Separate compartments are provided for butter, milk, fish eggs, flour, vegetables, wines, silks and bonded goods. There are 23 cargo hatches and 20 side cargo ports for freight Besides the five continuous decks, three upper decks rise to a height of 88 feet above the keel. There are 16 boilers, the first water-tube boil ers ever Installed on an ocean-going American steamship, while four of the 18 are provided with automatic stokers and screw ash conveyers, the first in stalletlon of mechanical stokers on an ocean-going cargo and passenger ves sel. The coal bunkers have a capac ity for 6,000 tons, which will carry the ship 8,000 miles at a normal speed of 14 knots. The Minnesota, like the Dakota, Is Intended to run from Puget sound to the Orient Her length Is 630 feetj a little less than twice the length of the state house on Capitol Hill, and 06 feet less than that of the Baltic; her breadth, 73 feet 6 Inches, nearly three feet greater than the height of the state house to the main cornice, and her depth is 56 feet, which is only two feet less than that of the Great East em. Her displacement Is close to 88, 000 tons, which Is greater than the or dlnary displacement of the world'i largest steamer, the White Star Liner Baltic, which completed last week her first voyage to this country. The sides of the Minnesota are 55 feet high, which is only 15 feet less than the height of the state house to the main cornice. The mlnnesota has been building since January 15, 1901, when her keel was laid. The beer that made Milwaukee fam ias Schllta Is always on draught at The Grotto. Otto Mikkelton, proprietor.
