With a guide leading, the party was in the middle or one or the four bridges in the cave when the slide came, its noise drowned by the roar of the cataract. The guide was not touched. To recover the bodies of the dead it was necessary to take a rowboat from the Maid of the Mist steamer, which bad been run us as near as possible to the falls and cave. It was a hazardous venture. but the rowboat crew finally brought the bodies out of the pool and regained the steamer. The accident is. the first of the kind in the cave since the first stairway was built in 1183. There have been slides before but only in the winter or early spring.

This is denied by .rel atives and friends and The Asso ciated Press was further Informed that the prison authorities have not given the lord mayor any food in this manner. Father Dominic also denied that the prisoner was being fed. and added: "Although some peopla say that the desire for food disappears aft er a few days abstlnance. it Is not so-In Mayor MacSwlneys case H.e is still hungry but refuses to take anything.

N. B. Sinclair, secretary of the California-OrerOn Pawr company, announced in Van couver, Wash yesterday that a aulphtte mill which, the 'com pany had expected to establish in Vancouver probably will be built in Salem instead. A disa greement has arisen between the company and the city of Vancourer relative to the poa ses&ion of three enda of atreeta, and it is said the company has abandoned definitely ita plan . to build in that city. . The paper company has pur- Ichased the waterfront aite of , tne littock-Leadbetter Lumber company at Vancouver, and ita " intention waa to build a sul phite mill and later, possibly, a paper "mill, but Sinclair says the aite is now a white elephant on the company's hands and that both probably will come to Salem. An attempt waa made to finance the project without petting possession of the street end. but it is aaid investor would not interest themselves in the project under those con. di tions. "We acquired the property In good faith and expected to build the mill here. Mr. Sinclair said. "Dut when prospective stockhold ers learned that there Is a dis agreement between our company and the city council, they simply won't Invest. The site Is an ideal one for a pulp and paper mill, with exrellent shipping facilities, and we had intended to operate a sawmill In connection with the raper plant, using the sawdust as fuel. "It will be readily understood that whether-the property Is op erated as a sawmill, pulp mill or both, it must be heavily financed, and the tact that we do not and apparently cannot obtain title to the land upon which we would have to build, operates as a prac tically insurmountable obstacle to the necessary financing. "There Is a possibility that the sawmill may be operated, but only If the streets are closed. LONDON. Sept. 1.
