TACOMA, WasH., Sept. L.—~Charles Mc- v, just arrived from Bastern Washing- ton, tells of a terrible accident which ba- fel his companion, John Rosbery, while they were prospecting in Stevens County | two weeks ago. McKay, Rosbery and | Shoulty started out to find a rich miine which was located five years ago, but never developed because the locator died. Peo- vle had been told by the original discov- erer of his find, but nobody seemed atle to relocate it after his death bacause of the excessive roughness of the country. In prosecuting their search McK they reached the roughest place he nas ever seen. There were three benches separated by precipices. McKay was on the lower one and Rosbery on the second | one 200 feet above, when the accident | occurred. In climbing around a ledge Rosbery fell off and landed seventy-iive feet below. Then he rolled downward 100 feet more over rocks and trees, his 180 pounds weight making it very difficuli to stop. Rosbery was nearly dead when McKay reached him. He had broken an | arm, three ribs and a knee cap, injured one iung and his head and face were lacer- ated and bleeding. McKay describes as terrible his experi- ence in effecting a rescue.. The mountain was so steep he could hardly stand. Shoulty had got lost ana rendered no as- | sistance. McKay dragged the unconscious man two miles down the monuntain to a level spot. Here Rosbery rallied and begged for water. To get this required a two-mile walk and return, Rosbery was nearly dead when McKay got back, but was revived by rubbing and pouring weater over him. Using his- small -ax McKay then had to cut & path through the thick woods for'a mile-and’ pack Rosbery ‘to a spot where a fire: could be built-to keep wild animals away while he went two | miles fariher for help: McKay secured the assistance of a set- | tler, who helped him make: a - cot of 1wo sticks and some sacks. -Oa- tnis Rosbery wes packed two miles by the-light of a | lantern.

THE LABORING LLASSES WOULD BE TR LOSERS Savings Bank Presidents With One Accord Oppose the Idea of a New Park and Zoological Garden at Present, THE TME I8 NOT RIPE FOR THE MOVEMENT. The Present Is Not a Propitious Period for Indulging in the Luxuries of Life as Necessities Are Needed. GOLDEN GATY PARK SHOULD BE FINGHED BIFORE OTHERS COME. Taxation Is' Already as High as the People Oan Stand and Extra Money Should Go Into Sewers and Good Strests. Taxpryers of all classes unite:in a common cause against an increase of taxation at the [Te-ent time for the purpose of establishing a new park and zoological garden. Savings bank presidents, who stand close to the tinancial ¢condition of the laboring people and those of small hoidings of property all say that such actlon would woik a hardship to these people, which would be unjnst and unnecessary. The benefit would be derived by real estate men, while the suffering would fall upon the poorer classes, who already have all ti.e park facilities that they desire, Good streets and sanitary sewerage is what the City needs just at pre: nt, and these ere considered absolutely necessaries which the people should have before the luxu- ries of adaitional parks are invested in.

Columbus Savings and Loan So- ciety: I féed thit 1L1s nOL ¢hie proper time 10t us to bui'd parks. Golden Gate Park is, in my opinion, snfficient for the present needs of 8an Francisco. As to the build- ing or establishing of & new park, it would increase the taxes, which are aircady too bi_ixfor the benefit of the community and the taxpayer. ‘What is more necessary is to have good streets and sewers, as, above all, the City should be kept in a good.san.- tary .condition, The increased taxation will decrease the interest of depositors in savings banks (which is small.enough now), and the poorer and laboring classes will be tte sufferers.

We bave a park that 1s not yet completed, snd I think Golden Gate Park should be finished before we ask for more. The Mission people are as near and eve: nearer to that park than the people of many parts of the City, and I see no reason for dissatisfaction on their part. Lovell White, Secretary and Treasurer San Francisco Sav.- ings Union: stauces. "“Taxesare already too hign. There are many things ol more pressing necessity than parks. They are toc high under ali cireums It would be very nice to have a park at eyery man’s door, but that is not in the nature of things. The normal rate of taxationis about 114 per cent,and that Is as much as should be asses>ed, and when they raise it to 2)£ per cent it simply cuts off dividends with us to that'extent, 5o far as savings banks are concerned, of course all the money that they handie does notbelong to the people of San Francisco, ana all the taxes paid by these outside deyosifors are taxes for which they receive no- benefit. I will say that we cannot advocate or give any kind of implied consent toward the build ng of parks. A park is a Juxury, but good s1reets and safe sewers are necessities, and the time is not propitious to mdulge in luxuries,” Willinm Alvord, President Bank of California and Police Commissioner “I think taxes are already high enougu. and cul get along very well witboutany more parks at present. tifu! parks, Golden Gate Park and the Presuiio.

S, Laumeister, ex-Sheriff’ and proprietorof the Laumeis- ter Mills: “lheMission people are de- serving ol some recognition in the-shape of a park. But as I understand the situ- ation this is not a Mission movement, but rather a desire on the part of some ont- side people to sell a piece of land to the City for a park and zoologleal garden, ©On this, as it appears, 1 am not in favor of ihe. proposition from the fact that we have an excellent park as itis, and I see no reasin why we should not concentrate all our energy and resources in improving that pleasure résort. - If our people desire to add & zoo 1o the other attractions al- ready there, why well and good—expena the money 1n that direction rather than launch -into the additional expense. of buying more ground. The purchase of more land seems to me to have but litile merit at this time, when we are so heavily taxed without any gavpareat benefits, Our streeis are certainly neglected, let the fault lie where it may.” Frederick L.

As I look at it, the Supervisors Lave no right 1o squander the J)sople'u money any more than they wou!d that of their own, Ana 1 hardly think that any one of them would be wiiling to pay such a price for the land offered for this park, even if there was an actual necessity for its purchase, whereas the contrary is made manifest by the expres- sions of those reputable citizens who bave already given their views on the subject. Assuming this I cannot for the life of me see the necessity of ~uch a step when we have positively as fine a park as there is in the world. Let us expend all our spare money on the beautifying and improving of this charming resort, and if we must have a collection of animals why not place them where they will be seen and admired by all without the additional expense of paying two car fares to visit two parks when we can have the same attractions in one.’ Major W. B. Hooper, “o. prietor of the Occidental Ho- tel: “Iam afirm believer in the dollar limit, and anything that may tend to in- crease the taxes above that should be for the improvement of the City rather than to induige in what appears on its face to be a wild scheme, having no apparent nierit behind it {urtaer than to dispose of a piece of real estate at a time when the people seem anxious to buy something that they really do not need. Ihave been 20 busy attending (o the hotel that I have not given this subj-ct sufficient consid- eration to be properiy qualified to give a decided opinion upon it.

In fact, anything and everything that goes to muke Ban Francisco attractive suits me, but at the same time the propo- «ition to saddle an additional expense of so many thousands of dollars upon the taxpayers at this time for a proposition thut ssems on its face unwarranted does not meet with my aporoval. I believe in the statid taken by 1HE CALL." Luke Battles, member of the resent Grand Jury and ad. uster for the Sam Framcisco Gas and Electric Light Com. pany: ‘“ltisan unwise movement just ui present, as the people have no money to throw away on the purchase of a tract of land such as is spoken of in connection with this park project.

Another telling scene .is where the fire wagon dashes on the stage on its way to conflagration, All the cast is doing good work, and the comedy element is. espe- cially well preaented. “The Beart of Maryland’ continues to pro- vide excitement for Baldwin audfenses, It will run till the end of next week.
