GOLD IN LABRADOR.
The Country is Said to be as Rich in
the Mineral as is the Klondike.

Halifax, N. s., Jan. 5.-Representa-
tives of a Canadian and American
company who visited Labrador for the
purpose of erecting saw mills, report
that the country contains deposits of
gold of great richness and is destined to
become a great mining country.
There exists strong evidence that
gold is to be obtained in quantities
eQualed only by the deposits of the
Klondike. In fact, it is asserted that
the deposits in Labrador are on the
same range as those on the K1Ondike.
Arrangements for a gold seeking ex-
petition which is to start by vessel in
the spring, have already been made.

Kansas City. Jan. 5-Last nights
holdup on the Kansas City, Pittsburg

a wind haul Wells Fargo express
messenger. E. NJ. Hayden, who was
bound and covered by one robber while
the other rif1ed the local safe, sent his

the effect that the robbers took nothing
of value. This statement is adhered to
by the local officials of the express and
railway companies, who assert that
nothing but a few packages of jewelry
of no particular value and no money
was secured The robbers were two in

as being about % years old and clean

fix the sex and their offspring.
Dr. Schenick declines to reveal it I'M

Tenement House Cigar Factories
Consumption Germs in Sweat
Shop Cigars.

Smokers seem not to realize the dan
ger there is in tenement house cigars.
The health officers of San Francisco
recently found consumption germs in
cigars made in Chinese tenement house
factories Four of the factories were
closed by the officers.
Thos. J. Bowling, labor commission
er of New York, reports that many of
the tenement house factories and sweat
shops in his state should be suppressed.
These factories are often filthy beyond
belief. One tenement house on East
Seventy-third street, New York, con-
tanned upwards of one hundred families
containing an average of five mem ars

diculous1y low, every available mem
Der is put to work When trade is
brisk, even the sick are taken out of
their beds and made to earn money
while they can, regardless of the des-
ease they may communicate to the
smokers.
Aside from considerations of filth and
disease, smokers should remember that
sweat shop competition is unfair to
employers who pay decent wages. The
same is true of convict labor.
To protect himself against filthy and
unwholesOme cigars, and to give the
honest manufacturer a chance, the
smoker should see that the cigar ma
kers blue union label is on the box
It is a guarantee that the cigars are
clean. wholesome and well made, and
that the workman has received a just
compensation for his labor.

Cottonwood report. [volume] (Cottonwood, Idaho) 1893-1901, 1898-10-21

This is not campaign of politi-
cal policies or principles in Idaho
county, nor is it fight of republi-
cans or populists against democrats;
but is simply a fight against ring
and boss rule in the administration
of the affairs of this county. The
democratic party as party did not
place the ring ticket before the peo-
pie; the party had very little to do
with the making that ticket; it was
made by the Grangeyille and court
house ring long before the democratic
convention, and it was dictated
from first to last by the democratic
boss. One man gets couple of the
county pets into the back room of
his saloon in Grangeville and fixes
up a ticket and says: "This must be
DONE" and it is done. Now the
question for the men and women Of
Idaho county is: will they Endorse
any such work by electing this
ticket which calls itself ''demo
cratic, and again calls itself "silver-
republicans
Cottonwood report. [volume] (Cottonwood, Idaho) 1893-1901, 1898-10-21

The rank and file Of the demo
cratic party are honest and consci-
entious; they believe in good gov
eminent; they are patriotic; they
cherish the traditions of their glor-
ious leaders who SO materially aided
in shaping our country's course;
and while they are slow to sever
the ties that bind them to party,
and are loath to cut loose from the
glories Of the past, many of them
find that the-glories of the long ago,
the memories of the noble Jeffer-
son, jackson, and all the heroes
who illuminate the pages Of our
country's history, are rapidly fading
from the minds of the. modern
democratic leaders; and instead of
being guided BY love of the pure
and good in theinceptive formation,
it is found that a disgraceful
scramble is the result of an insati-
able desire for office and the flesh
pots. Unlike in the primary stage
Of the party, when the people were
always considered, when the caucus
meant full and free expression of
the people, the rule with many of
the leaders is to FIX the primaries
in the interest of some aepirant, so
that he can be sue of a nominal
tion-not only smother the true
democratic spirit, but falsely lead
the people to believe that the. work
of the PUT UP convention is their
full and free expression. Our read
ers have in mind now some notable
examples; for. instance, our own
county. Our democratic friends
are ashamed of such q spirit, SC
entirely at variance with the true
tenets Of the democratic faith. Such
actions would cause every demo
cratic hero TO turn oyer in hi;
grave. 1t is not democracY5 it is q
perversion of the name to bass
uses; and every true democrat who
loves his principles--the principles
of the immortal Jefferson, and The
long line of heroic statesmen whC
succeeded him, will repudiate suct
acts at the polls on the Sth day o
| November next.

These are some of the questions
the people are asking, and the
courthouse ring should explain:
Why is Idaho county over $4,000
In debit, Why have we no bridges?
Why have we no public improve
ments in the county2 Where has
the money gone? What became of
the expert hired to expert the
county books2 Why did be not
examine the books for the last four
Or five years? Why did the people
not know he was gone until he was
in Oregon. Why have the county
commissioners not ordered suit COM
menced against theauditor and re,
corder for some SO, 900. in fees and
clerk hire which he has unlawfully
held? Why did the board of county
commissioners remain in session fol

96ters to think about.
