THE TELEGRAPHERS.
Deputy Grand Chief Comstock Issues
a Circular

| Deputy Grand Chief ComstoCk issues
a Circular.
The railroad people do not fear strike
which they say would end disastrously
to the knights OF the key.
The members Of the Order of Railway
Telegraphers, says the San Francisco
Chronicle of Thursday, are making a
determined effort to organize, in spite Of
all opposition. They now say that they
will have every Office on the Southern
Pacific company's lines under their con-
troll bv February 1st. Acting Grand
Chief Ramsey is stirring up the tele-
graphers Of Southern California, and
has made appointments for meetings
with the telegraph operators of different
parts OF the state during the next week.
A meeting was held at Sacramento yes
terday, but the acting grand chief was
not present.
Deputy Grand Chief II. G. Comstock
says that he has by no means given up
the fight. He has sent circular to the
telegraphers of the Southern Pacific rail-
way system, in which be reminds them
of their obligations to the order and
warns them that another command to
strike will soon be given. The following
is the circular
OFFICE OF THE
DEPUTY GRAND CHIEF,
OAKLAND, CAL, December %, 1S9l.
DEAR BRoTHERs AND SISTERS: 1 am
deeply grieved to be compelled to ad-
dress you again, calling your attention
to the fact that a strike was ordered on
the Pacific system Tuesday, December
18th, at 10 am.
regret to say that many of you have
forgotten the sacrednees Of your obliga-
ton, and have let the greed for gold pre-
vent you from following out the instruc-
tions contained in my circular of De-
cember 18th.
l would be greatly panied to enroll
your names upon the black list of the
order, and sincerely trust that you will
obey the commands of your grand chief
in time 10 prevent the necessity OF doing
80. Yours in F. F.,
H. G. CoMsTocK, d. G. G. T.
Quietly take this up among the boys,
and if you can get two or three more to
come with you bring them out, but
don't you 60 out till we give You the
word.
The railroad people say that they
have no fear of the effect of another
strike order. They do not believe that
it would result any more favorably for
the Order of Railway Telegraphers than
did the last one.
General Superintendent J. A. Fill
more of the Southern Pacific company
said yesterday that he had not heard OF
any more men leaving their keys. and
he did not believe that any more would
do SO. He is not at all worried by the
threats OF the telegra. pliers as to the
trouble they have in store for the rail-
road, believing that they will all end in
air.
There has been come talk about the
Texas operators of the southern Pacific
company walking out of their Offices be-
fore Christmas, but up to yesterday
afternoon the railroad people had re.
ceived no news regarding such strike.
They do not think that it is at all likely
to occur,

FREIGHT RATES.
How They Are Said to Be Made
Here.

Here.
A Kansas City man, in talking with a
Star reporter, told this little story to
illustrate how freight rates are made:
II know o man out west," he said,
"who learned that hay was selling for
$40 ton in Tucson, Ariz. He could
buy the same hay for "a in Los Angeles.
Ny man went to a freight agent in Los
Angeles and wanted to get rate on hay
by the carload lot from Los Angeles to
Tucson. He wanted to make con-
tract with the road.
"'How much is hay worth in Tue
son p asked the freight agent.
"'Forty dollars answered my guile
less friend.
"What can you buy it for here?'
"'Four dollars
"The rate to Tucson is $34 per ton,
said the agent. That will leave you a
profit of 81 per ton, and you can make q
nice thing out of it,"

Fairhaven herald. [volume] (Fairhaven, Wash.) 1890-????, 1891-05-30

In the fore part of August, 1912, party
of hunters found, in a mountainous region
now known as Rabun county, Ga, a
being nearly eight feet high, covered with
blush hair and having human face
adorned with immense ears, resembling
those of an ass The creature was stone
deaf, and on that account seemed wholly
unconscious of the approach of the men.
This monster seems, from old accounts, to
have been seen upon several occasions dur
the next four years.
In 1916 number of adventures from
Virginia, most of them surveyors working
up the unexplored portions of Georgia and
the Carolinas, formed themselves into a
party for the express purpose Of capturing
the uncanny being, if possible. They
secured the hills and valleys for several
days, and at last returned unsuccessful to
the starting point
The many tales told of this extraordinary
being seem to have created quite a stir all
along the Atlantic coast. A printed cir
cular issued by a land company In 1916
says "The climate of Georgia is exceeding
ly mild, the soil productive, and the dan
ger of attack from uncouth beasts, which
are represented as being half beast and
half man, are fairy tales not worthy OF
consideration. st. Louis Republic.
