Wardner occupies 1.-THE distinct and
unique position today of being one of
the few towns in the west where the de-
mand for labor is greater than the sup
ply. While we are constantly reading in
the daily and weekly press of the over
supply of labor in other localities, of
any wages, and even for their board here
there is work for every good man who
is willing to do fair days work for
a fair days pay. The future of Ward
ner is now encouraging. Good men are
wanted and lots of them. Here they can
secure work in the dryest and healthiest
mines to be found anywhere. Here a
man can make d good living and lay by
fifty dollars each month for a rainy day.
The right kind of men who come here
will have steady work for years, for the
mining companies are resuming with the
fun determination Of running for SER

country so rapidly that they are becom-
ing hot. His followers are not idle and
his fine work may even be detected in
the official acts of county officials who
worship at the shrine of the ghost dan
Ger. A Mcconnell slate has already been
agreed upon in this county from janitor
up to state senator, and an attempt viii
be made to force it upon the people. Gov
ernor Mcconnell once said that it was
part of his religion TO reward his friends
and punish his enemies and it is very
noticeable fact in this county that Off
GERS who support him never let an op-
portunity go by to punish and annoy his
opponents. They undoubtedly reNive

These methods may win for while, but
