Another mlna horror waa narrowly averted this morning after fire waa discovered In tha pumplns; station on tha 1,200 foot lever of tha Brunswick mine at Grass Valley. Thirty miners were rescued at a .moment when It waa feared that thalr lives could not possibly ba saved. Tha miners wra wnrVlnv antna 1la. tance from the shaft when the under ground pumpman boiAt-a warning. By this time, however, the mine whs belne- rapidly filled by dense smoke and deadly gas. Through the smokn and rumes. which choked the terror stricken miners, the men reached the shaft. They had almost abandoned all hope of being saved. With great difficulty they were hoisted to tne surface In a state bor dering on col lapse. A moment later great black clouds of smoke began to four out or me snart.

Pendleton, Or., Feb. 16. Mrs. Diana Coffman, who died In this city Thurs day at the age of 78 years, was one of the foremost pioneer women of Uma tllla county and waa the last eurvlvo of the charter members of the Firs Methodist Episcopal church of this city, f '.S v ,! . Z V PERSONATj. County Commissioner F. C. Barnea last night returned from a month's stav at Santa Barbara, where his fam ily will remain through the winter. Ha says there was considerable rain in "surtny California" during his stay there, and from all reports he, would have seen fewer raindrops had he re mained in Oregon. Mrs. Diana Coffman. which was organised 25 years ago. Itfrs. Coffman was born In Vermont in 1836 and came across the plains to the Wil lamette valley, Oregon, In 1863, where she resided until 1871, when she moved with her family to Echo. She was con verted In the Methodist church at Echo in 1879 and coming to Pendleton signed the charter membership roll of Pen dleton's first Methodist Episcopal church. She was married twice and leaves six children, three sons and three daughters, aa follows: Edward Coffman of this city; William and El mer Reeves of Echo; Mrs. William Coffman of this city; Mrs. George Per- rln of McKay creek and Mrs. William Beagle of Alberta. Canada. The funeral was held yesterday at the Methodist Episcopal church under the auspices of tbe Order of the East ern tar. but also found that Shlgeta was a shy and downy bird. There were many lit tle Horns of expense, attached to the task of liberating a distressed wife. There was also a certain element of risk which, when translated Into dollars and cents materially swelled the total men tioned In Mrs. Kusaba's letter. Also there were certain "pulls." official and otherwise, that must he attended to. ani such things, as Shlgeta very clearly F'Olnted out, must be considered as an mperative call on the bank account of n loving husband. Tha Devious Ways of Justice. After days of fruitless endeavor Kusaba sought the advice of friends. They. In turn, piloted him to the office of Attorney Walter Evans. The at torney being instructed to proceed, re paired to the office of the district at torney where, upon complaints duly sworn to by Kusaba, two warrants were Issued, one for the arrest of Oto and the other for the arrest of Shlgeta, both being charged with the crime of kid naping. For some reason that does not appear. tne warrants were not served, though Shlgeta, at least, was to be found any day and all dav at the houna at 28 North Third street. Though the cause Is somewhat clouded because of the re ticence of those most interested, the effect was very apparent. Shlgeta "came through." That Is to sav. he pro duced Mrs. Kusaba in the flesh. There Is also a rumor of the nassaae of a considerable sum of money from Kusaba to smgeta, Dut stories dirrer as to this. Husband and wife being again so hap- filly reunited things began to happen n quick order. Before noon Monday Shlgeta walked Into the police station and surrendered himself a prisoner on the kldnaolna charo-e. He waa accom panied by a Japanese Interpreter who and by another Japanese who deposited xouu to insure Mhlgeta s appearance in the police court at 9 o'clock the follow ing morning for arraignment. Tuesday Khigeta failed to appear in court either in person or by counsel, friend or acquaintance, white or yellow. nau oi ouu oeciarea rorrelted.

STATE BOARD ALONE ASSESSES RAILROADS County Assessors and Boards Equalization Must Keep Hands Off Tax Valuations. (Special Dlapatcb to Tbe Journal.) Olynipia, Wash., Feb. 16. Assess ments fixed by county assessors and boards of equalization on railroad prop crty without regard to the orders and directions of the state tax commission, ure void and of no effect, according to a supreme court decision. The court holds that the legislature in giving the com mission powers of "general supervision" of assessors and boards of equalization did not mean that the commission was merely to advise and confer with them, but to oversee, inspect and superintend their work. By the tetms of the decision an ap praisement made in 1906 In Snohomish county of $10,000 per mile In excess of the flaures adooted by the commission ' on railroad tracks Is void and the Grent county will be ens county the esed in the motion and order forfeit-. t.iT will ho rtdu.vd nooon Th deri sion will also affect King county, which Attorney Walter Evans appeared as j Northern s taxes in that pecinl prosecutor on behalf of the com- reduced I26.O0O.

Struggle Begins for Money.'' Wednesday Attorney Walter Evans, accompanied bv the Japanese interpreter and the Japanese who deposited the ball money for Shlaeta in the first instance appeared in the chambers of Municipal Judge Cameron and represented to the Judge and to Assistant District Attorney Stevenson that Shigeta's nonappearance in cuun me previous aay was due whol ly to a mistake. Acting on these repre sentations Judare Cameron nromlsed to set aside the order cf forfeiture the fol lowing morning. Judge Cameron and Attorney Steven son were apprised of the real status of affairs by persons who were and are cognizant of the true facts. inursaay Attorney Walter Evans ap peared In court, together with Shlgeta, the Japanese Interpreter and the Jap anese who deposited the ball money. Shlgeta was formally represented before the court by Attornev Veazie. who oc cupies an office in the Corbett build ing with Attorney Evans. Attorney Veazie aaked to have the order of for feiture set aside, alleging that Shig-eta had been in attendance at court on the day his case was called, but for some unknown reason the court had been kept In Ignorance of the fact. The truth of the facts alleged was flatly denied by Prosecutor Stevenson, who asked that the motion to set nsld th fnrfaltiira be denied. Judge Cameron denied the motion and ordered that the $500 be at once turned Into the city treasury for. the use and benefit of the municipality. During the afternoon various persons sought personal Interviews with Prna. cutor Stevenson for tha purpose of urg ing uio auupuon nv r.im or a more len lent attitude In the matter of tha at tempt to divert the 1500 into soma de pository otner than the city treasury.

The money now being in the city treasury there are only two waya In which it can be recovered ,bv those in terested in behalf of Shlgeta. One Is to sue the city. In which event it would ba necessary to prove the forfeiture il legal. The other Is to petition tha city council, in which case it would ba necessary to well. It would be neces sary to get enough votes. . Jh the meantime Shlgeta and Oto are in the full enjoyment of their liberty, though a felonv charra stands each of them.

Walter Baker & Co., Ltd. Established 1780 DORCHESTER, MASS. (Special Dlapatcb to Tba Journal.) Olympla, Wash., Feb. 15. The call ing of a special session of the legisla ture within a very few weeks Is con sidered more than a probability by state officials. Oovernor Mead gave out an interview laat night In which he de clared he was giving the subject care ful consideration and would announce a decision within a few days. If called, the legislature will be asked to frame an nmendment to the state constitution which will correct the de fect in the section Judge H. O. Hanford of the federal court yesterday decided waa prohibitive of the legislature's delegating- rate-making powers to a rail road commission, the decision being de livered In the joint wheat rate caae against the O. R. & N. Judge Hanford's decision that the leg islature only can fix railroad rates, it la admitted by the railroad commission makes that body simply an Investigat ing committee with practically no pow ers othpr than tn niaKe rccommenua- Of I tions to the legislatures. Judge Hanford a decision is oy no means that of a final court, hut the ap real to the United States will consume at least two ycara and possibly longer. The likelihood is against securing a de cision in time to have an amendment voted on by the legislature of 1911, pro vided the supreme court should sustain Judge Hanford. An adverse decision by the highest court of the land would moan the postponing of any rate mak ing, unless the legislature promulgated rates itseir, for rive or six years. Decision Xaaoks Finality. On the other hand. It is claimed by the attorney-general that the Hanford decision could not be pleaded as an adjudication of similar questions now pending in the superior court of this county, and that a decision by the state supreme court would operate as against a decision by the federal court In the enforcement of tho law if the act were uphold by the state court. The membors of the railroad commis sion are believed to be favorable to the calling of an extra session of the legis lature to authorize a constitutional amendment to be voted on in November. The members e.re disinclined to discuss the. subject for publication but it is un- . derstood the governor and commla ers are favorable to the extra session and that the only cause for delay In an nouncing a decision on the part of tha governor Is the desire to sound publio sentiment Investigating Goes Right Oa. A motion was interposed In the valu ation hearings now before the railroad commission, late yesterday afternoon, by Judge M. J. Gordon bf the Oreat Northern that the hearings be sus pended in view of the decision of Judge Hanford that the commission has no power to make rates. The motion was promptly denied. Chairman Falrchild of tha commission pointing out that the law required the commission to determine the valuation of railroad property and that Judge Hanford's decision went only Into the powers of the commission to fix rates.
