great peril.
The men remained in the shaft fot

house, and this building, which is val
ued at l'0tt,(.KH, is entirly ruined. The

and several other business blocks were
quickly burned.

STRIVE VO OPEN HILL LINES.
Soo Line Abandons Big Territory in
Which Fuel is Scarce.
Washington, Feb. 1. A long dis
patch from L. II. Hill, a son of Presi
dent Hill, of the Great Northern, re
garding fuel shortage conditions in
North Iakota, came to the Interstate
Commerce commission today. Mr.
Hill said he had just returned from a
three weeks' trip in the snowbound dis
trict. Max Pass and other branch
points are suffering for coal, he mid,
and everything possible is being done
to open the line.
Mr. Hill says Max Pass is in the
territory served by the Soo line from
Kenmare to Thief River falls, 2U
miles, on which no apparent effort is
being made to open the line. He says
he understands that their section men
have ls-en paid off, which makes neces
sary "our furnishing all their terri
tory with fuel."
He adds that several men have been
killed in the extraordinary efforts to
open these lines, "and we feel great
"lunger of crowding the matter too
hard."
A dispatch from the mayor of Lead,
S. I)., says the people are freezing for

Resignation is Accepted.
IiOndon, Feb. 1. There is reason to
believe that the resignation of Sir Alex
Swettenham as governor of Jamaica
bus l-een accepted, though the officials
of the foreign office refuse all infor
mation on the subject. This official
reticence is attributed to a desire to
complete the arrangements for a suc
cessor to the post before announcing
Swettenham's retirement. It is ex
pected that the latter will leave the
island as noon as details can le com
pleted for handing over the affairs of
his office.
