FROM HAINES
In recent mail we received the fo!>
l»wln? versee from a woman who
signs herself as H—C. B. !>., and
1 ves in Haines. No title to the
poem Is given.
Ah, Iney've downed you demon rum
And at last your time has come
And they'll hang you high upon the
eiDbet tree
Men and women will 1>q there
And Iheyll breath a. thankful prayer
Tha; your work upon, this poor
o'iJ earth is done.
But still you're not so bad
You've only wrecked a million lads
And sent their Mothers mourning to
the'r graves
And >ou've done a, lot of goodj
Take* lives just as you should
Aivi made of men a beastly lot of
cads.
You're not to blame you know
For the women that are low
You onjy robbed them of their
deathless souls
And you're not to blame at all
When you fill the devil's hall
With manhood that's attracted) by
your show.
I fcnoffi your glass of beer
Pills a man with, lots of cheer
And you're aot to blamq when all
his health is gon«
And when the babies die
And Mothers hear their cry
It's not your fault if Father? da
not hear.
O' course you can't help at all
W' en death hangs its dreaded pall
Oa the door knob of some weakling
of a mani
And he wakes up &U too late
And %U heart is flMed with hate
For you who have caused his
wretched fall.
And they're foolish t<> declare
That you have had your share
In iverv cfooked deal that's been
pullfd off
And that men withi brains to think
Have killed them off with drink
And have crippled many taleut that
was rare.
But I surely wistt you well
Tha' you'll Bink po deep in hell
Taat on earth you'll never have an
other chance i
For you've proved you're but a
curse
A.nd there's nothing can. be worse
T"'>an • drunkard and the things
tnat he can. tell.
While the men employed at the
Copier King ware at the.r midday
meal Saturday fire broke out In the
I poi er house of the mine and before
it was discovered had| gained aueh
! headway there was no chance eith
j er or saving the building or salvag
ing its contents from the ravages ]
! of the flames. Within an hour the
i si4« jf what had theretofore been a
! scene of active industry a;as turned
(into p heac tf smouldering ruins,
I and the machinery that had hummed
j wi'bin the building was turned in- j
I to twisted and almost useless scraps
| of iron. 1
The building destroyed! was about!
j 50x50 feet in size, and was used as]
, power house, boiler room and black
j sm ih f hop. On Saturday the ma.
ichir.tr? was not running, but a fire
| had been kept going in the furnace
j under the boilers. It 1s not thought,
I ho wever, that the blaze originated
from the furnaces, but ratheii from
la carbide lamp left burning by its
i owner while he was at his meal.
I The Dower house was located at
, tn foot of a steep hill, a quarter of
a m'.e away from the cook house
lovr a divide, and wag not visible

| On Sat urday, contrary to the usual
i custom no watchman hadi been left
on duty at the power house while
the men were away, and the first
intimation had by Manager J. P.
jWhi'ney or aay of hi« crew that
' anything was wrong was when the
I m*n left the cook house preparatory
I to returning to work and' saw an im«
men3e volume of smoke ascending
from the place where the power
house was situated.
