The New Lumbermen's UniOn---
SAMPLES of Binding Irvine.

Inc New LumDermen'S UnIOn---
Samples of Binding Irvine.
Parties interested in securing MEN,
bers for the new lumbermen'S union,
which they propose to organize in this
city, are meeting with good success,
and the meeting to be held Saturday
evening will probably see the union
organized and placed Gil firm founda
ton. The chief object of the union is
to do away with the 10 per cent dis
count which is charged on time bills
when men return from the pineries in
the spring. Fully 1000 lumbermen
of them join the union it will be
highly desirable move. Another object
sought to be obtained is the creating of
fund for use in case any Of the mem
bers of the union are injured who are
without means OF proper medical at
tendance. 1t is expected that when the
union is organized here similar ones
will be organized in other cities where
lumbermen make their headquarters.
Chief of Police ShortalI thinks the
stabbing ARRAY which occurred on Mon
day evening, at the corner of Chestnut
street and Union alley, was confined
principally to the three men who had ar
rived a few hours before from the lum-
boring camps in northern Wisconsin.
He believes that one of PeterSon's COM
radeS did the Stabbing, and then in
vented the story of the stranger stab
bing him in order to throw off suspicion.
None of the men could tell the same
story. and Mr.. Shortall's theory may be
right.

evening by the local lodge of the B. p.

the social success.
In response to several requests for
samples of Irvine manufactured at the
prison binding Irvine factory, Warden
GarVln has sent q number of samples to
farmers in various sections of the state.
Answers have been received from some
of them, who regard the Irvine manu-
featured here as superior to Eastern
made Irvine. Some of them think that
the Irvine could be reduced One-fourth
i'll thickness and still be strong enough
for use in the harvest field.
