was reached at the point where it
passes through the gorgeous masses of
rocks known as Red buttes, The first
crossing was made by fording i'll a

Soon, by short ford, the river was

mile the western boundary of the

divides, to escape the precipitation
of the banks of swollen rivers.
In descending one of these, it was
necessary to dismount and lead our
horses. Up the highest divide all

The Chances for a General Strike
Of TeIegraphers.
Epeculations as TO the Result-Who Will

the Question News.

MILWAUKEE, July 1.-THE press com
ments here relating TO the threatened strike
Of telegraphic operators, while kindly In
tone to the operators, are in opposition
TO such a movement, which IN regarded ar
unwise and unwarranted. The Times
desires, in all friendliness, TO invite the
attention OF the Telegraphers' Brother
hood. All who are at all familiar with the
history OF strikes know that success in
means and determination, has rarely, II
ever, been achieved. The common course
OF such efforts has led TO greac loss
and often TO great suffering among the
strikers, and 10 the ultimate resumption OF
work when permitted to resume at rates
sffording no recompense for the sacrifice.
With none but the kindest feeling for the
operators now threatening to strike. and
without entering at all into the merits OF
controversy with the Geographic com
panies, the Times Is constrained TO believe
that, admitting that the worst that can be
reasonably predicted In the way Of incon.
venience 10 the business community and OF
the loss to the companies, the only really
irreparable damage that can result from
toe coming suspension Of work will be to
the operators themselves. They propose
to throw away earnings amounting to from
$40, 900 to SO, 900 day more or less, and
even II their utmost demands should be
conceded in the end the increase OF pay
they ask would hardly In year make good
the amount they will lose in month. The
situation and It's probable outcome deserve
calm and judicial consideration, which there
Is some reason to fear the mass Of operators
have not yet given It.
