and deliver his address, was given up
to the discussion of state Text Books

that the course of study can be taken

evening. President Gault made a brief
address, and introduced Hon. l. c.

senators who will be elected TO the va
cancies in the states of Wyoming,
Washington and Montana will proba-

They are cut off by an express pro-
vision in the legislative Appropriated

lieved will put an end to this practice
for the future. Under the system

left their reservation in Colorado and
crossed into Utah. colonel Lawton
says the Indians acted according to
their habits and custom, and had cross
ed the line thinking they had a perfect
right to do so, and with no hostile pur-
pose whatever. They had no intention
of troubling white people, and accord
ing TO Colonel Lawton the Oldest and
best residents of the country thus in
nOcently invaded, never had any APP
prehension of trouble. Colonel Lawton
adds that the number of Indians and
their stock has been greatly exagger-
ated, and they are now returning to the
reservation as rapidly as the severity
of the weather permits.

III: MORNING MINE.
A Statement From Manager HuntleN as
TO the November Time Checks.


TO the November Time Checks.
Mullan, Idaho. Dec 2S.--Manager
D. B. Huntley, of the Morning mine
said in explanation of the closing down
of the property: There are doubtless
many workmen from the Morning mine
who left to save trouble when the union
took command here a week ago, now
in Spokane, who would like 10 know
the value of the Morning November
time checks. On quitting the men
were paid off at three quarters OF the
regular wages, or s2.62 10, and a time
check for the balance, payable when
the accounts were figured up after re-
turns from the sampler. The result
shows that November ore. or work rath-
er, made less than the three-fourths al
ready paid, hence the time checks for
November are worthless. Possibly De
cember accounts may do better. Re
turns are not yet received from the
sampler.
'"rhe result of the cooperative expert
ment here has been to again prove
that the Morning mine cannot run
profitably with wages at $3.50 and lead
and silver at three cents and sixty
cents. Incidentally the fact was devel-
oped that the men as individuals We're
willing to continue to work-were glad
to workout as members of a union

ter manage as many as six. but,
ms Dr.'von schulze.Gaevcrnitz tells us,
Notwithstanding that the Continental
manufacturers run their looms from
twenty to thirty per cent slower than
ours arc worked, in Mulhouse and
Switzerland each weaver can only tend
to three, and in Germany you will
seldom see a weaver able to tend to
more than two looms. The effect of
the superiority of the English opera
tives upon the cost of production is
shown by the fact that, although the
rate OF remuneration of our English
weavers is about 100 per cent higher
than that received by the Swiss and
German "hands," vet we are able to
turn out cotton cloth at a labor cost
distinctly lower than that which OBJ
