" WIN AoA eho SuSSCSS VI SuS
strike. West Virginia, with her
5000 miners. Is looked upon as
being the pivotal state, and Gov.
Atkinson of that state is with the
q miners and believes they will
!. eventually win. He says:
"All the indications In West
Virginia point to the success of the
'ed miners. l believe that many in
90. my state will leave their work.
rte They have nothing to complain of,
Isl but are in sympathy with the suf-
fcring miners outside. So am l.,
, ia and so is everybody else l know
her anything about. There arc $4,000
miners in the state, and of course
it will take time to reach them all
en- and perfect an organization, but
;" there is no reason for the discour-
ugcmcnt of the strikers"
'eo Lying reports have been sent
'"e out through the associated press to
the effect that Debs has become
ION discouraged. This is not truo, but
the on the other hand, Debs says he
is satisfied with the situation and
-te. believes the cause of the miners
yet will bc crowned with SUCCESS
The question is, will Hnnna,

Frank Crowley, superintendent

station, has been viewing the fruit
~ districts of Montrose and Delta

9th Candidates for Office are fixing
t,e up their states and making combi-
ing nations for the fall campaign. We
nm hope every aspirant will have his
name announced and that every
man in the county who has any in
' tcrcst in public affairs will attend
. W the primaries. There is the foun-
Wv w dation and so long Ms handful of
~ men arc allowed to pack the con.
ven,ions just so long there will be
one corruption in politics.
~ A year ago a combination was
~ " formed IN this county by certain
~" leaders in all the parties for the
purpose Of controlling the nom,na-
ing tions in the republican and popu-
ner list parties, which, through tho
me- inaction Of the people at the pri.
but marics, came very near being con-
on. summatcd. Everybody who is op.
tho posed to trusts and combines should
,o attend the primaries.
ed J. Henry Pcartrce, son of our

mt. shot in the thigh last Friday ut Red
inc Mountain. Mr.. Peartree has u
mn barber shop in the trout part Of u

hns quarrel in the saloon and one man
,cr was killed and Mr.. Pcartrec was
wounded but not dangerously. A
