The first two numbers of the Big
Bend Empire, published at Waterville
the county seat of Douglas county, by
l.. +. Kellogg, have been received
The paper is small and does not ap
pear to have the support that all en-
terprise of that kind is entitled to, but
Mr.. Kellogg is an energetic individual
and will make the journal stick until
it does reach a paying basis. This is
not his first experience at printing a
paper in the wilderness. Mr.. Kellogg's
first effort in the line OF journalism
was on the Colfax Gazette. He was
associated with Mr.. Hopkins when
that paper was first started--seven on
eight years ago. At that time Coliax
was a small village. From Colfax Mr..
kellogg drifted to Cheney, establish
ing the Northwest Tribune, the first
paper ever printed in that town. AT
that time Cheney only consisted of a
few houses. much smaller place than
Waterville is to day. The Empire is
published in the midst of the finest
agricultural district OF Washing ton
territory, and as it is the first and only
paper printed i'll Douglas county it
should, in the course Of few eyoars,
become valuable piece of property.
The REVIEW wishes Mr. Kellogg all
manner OF success in his new venture.

between the Brotherhood OF Locomo-
tive Engineers and the Knights of
Labor. two of the most gigantic labor
organizations in America, neutralizes
the effects OF railroad strike. Were
the two organizations upon an ami
cable footing strike on any OF the
great trunk lines would be IL serious
matter and combined they woul
bring almost any corporation into sub
jugation, but so long as members OF
one order stand ready to take the
places of strikers in another, then II
walk out ceases to be very formida-
able affair. The Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy railroad strike, now existing,
is one of the most far-reaching labor
troubles that have occurred during
the present century. The road en-
ploys thousands of men, and reaches
all over the Mississippi valley and as
far west as Denver. No sooner did
the members of the Brotherhood step
down and out than locomotive en-
gineers outside of the pale of the
Brotherhood and yet, members Of the
knights of Labor, volunteered to take
the vacated places. This is retalia-
tory measure for the action
taken by the Brotherhood dur
ing the Missouri Raciiic strike two
years ago. Then the strike was inau-
gurated by the Knights of Labor and
Brotherhood engineers and firemen
were. found ready to supplant the
Knights. A bitterness was then en-
gendered between the two factions
that time will never entirely eradicate.
The C. b. & q. strike is II vast one
and will entail loss of thousands
Of dollars, both upon the road,
and upon sthose participating in
the strike, but the road will recover
while it will be difficult for the idle
men to find other places to make good
their losses in wages. Powderly
speaks plainly upon the subject His
letter shows that he still smurts under
the action of the Brotherhood that
made the Missouri strike failure, so
far as any concessions were granted
in the end to the knights, but he
shows his munliness and his disintcr-
ested championship of the cause of
labor collectively, no matter under
what head it may claim an organiza-
tion, by advising the knights not to
interfere III the strike. However the
ate Pennsylvania railroad tie up has
left many engineers out Of employ.
ment. They received no sympathy,
aid nor encouragement from the

secure employment at the expense of

result will lie that in II few days trains
on the G. b. Il q. system will be
again running regularly, another great
strike come to an ignominious end and

joyed steady employment at good
wages will be thrown upan their own

| NEXT week work will. be resumed
on the street railroad line and it is cal.
culated that cars will be running from
Howard street to the west end by the
lst OF April. The Inauguration of
this work will have it's effect upon
building operations in every direction
and also upon property values. BY
May the road will be completed
through the eastern part of the city.
The extent of the line has not yet
been determined, upon but there is no
ques ton but that it will cross Division
street bridge and connect with the
rapidly growing additions on the
north side. Besides the mum line
it is intimated that other branches are
under consideration to run through
some of the principal streets and con-
meet with other portions Of the north
side territory. The street railroad i'm
provement will represent an expendi-
ture of two or three hundred thousand
dollars this year, and will be of meal
edlable benefit to the place by bring
ing the adjacent additions within easy
communication with the business
center. Spokane has spread over so
much territory and buildings are being
pushed so far out that II cheap and
ready means of transportation has
become of vital importance. The
street railway aud motor line, tapping
every point of the compass will meet
the growing requirements and be IL
substantial! aid in encouraging the

were called under the joint auspices of
the several committees with the purpose

of the property representatives of the
ward, who adjourned to a more quiet
place and completed their work. They
found themselves surrounded in the eau
Gus by a concourse, many of whom had
noright to recognition, being non-resi-
dents of the ward, and who were deter
mined, by violence il necessary, to sup
press free speech and obstruct
orderly action. They encountered. the
most outrageous tactics and rulings and
whenever they attempted TO assert their
right to be heard were howIed down by
the clamors OF the throng, many of
whom we're far gone in liquor, They
found at the head of this aggregation of
bo,isterous elements the typical southern
bulldozer with many OF the parliament
