all nations, ancient and modern, civilized

ter:
Chippewa Falls, Wis, April 12.-Tht
400. mill employees OF the Chippewa Mil
and Boom company, Of this city. are out
on strike for a ten hour day instead
OF eleven, as has been the rule. Mass
meetings are being held in various halls
and the men are determined not to re-
turn to work until their demands are
acceded to. Their pay is $1.25 a day.
The company, Of which F. Weyerhauser
is president, say they will shut the mill
down before they will give in. This mill
is the largest in the world, and it will be
a great injury to Chippewa Falls if it is
shut down. The men claim they wee
promised ten hours this season if they
voted for Mckinley, and consequently
they are very bitter at the, company.
There is much excitement here, but as
yet the men are peaceable.
Chippewa Falls, April 18.-The strike
situation IS growing more serious A
secret meeting of all the mill employees
was held this afternoon. A committee
was appointed to visit the planning mill,
where a hundred aud fifty more en-
ployees 81 the Chippewa Logging and

are being circulated and signed by the

their father (now dead) the brothers
started in business in St. Cloud MANY

their father (now dead) the brothers
started in business in St. Cloud many
years ago. From small beginning,
through pluck and hard work, the
concern built up an immense busi-
ness. The Anderson wagon is we'll
known throughout the west. Ten
years ago the concern moved to
Moorhead, and has done a large
business, although handicapped by
heavy freight rates on the raw
material which was brought from q
distance; great expense for power,
and high insurance rates. Much of
the hardwood used by the firm was
bought in Little Falls, and atten tion
was fixed on this city's possibilities
as a location. By moving here the
concern gets cheap power and plenty
of hardwood timber near at hand.
The Anderson companyhas secured
lots 4 to 49,. inclusive, of block
64, on The west side, making a tract
Of about 2OOx3OO feet, reaching from
Denis iron works south to the street.
The plant formerly operated by Ed.
Mahan has also passed into the COM
pany's hands. The first building to
be put UP will be a one-story brick
lOOx6O, south of the iron works.
Later a two-story building 100 feet
long will be erected. The Water:
Power company will supply the
power by a rope drive, from the
wheel in the race north of the -four

The company has q large plant at
Moorhead, comprising machine sh on,
iron foundry, woodworking shop and
office buildings. For time castings
will bemade atMoorhead andshipped

firm for many years. Starting. with
many disadvantages, they have
achieved q high reputation for busi-
ness ability. and ENTERPRISE, and will

the local telephone service is
wretched, but is Of CO urse better than
none. The company's agents say no
exchange will be put in until sixty
subscribers are secured. Fifty-six
subscribers were secured, and itseems
that the company, considering the
privileges received from the. city,
could we'll afford to put in an ex-
change and risk getting four more
patrons. The fact that the present
system is a poor one is shown bv the
constant repair necessary. Other
cities receive better service and paw
less for it. Several business men
have now been waiting over two
years to have phones put in, and
naturally are not satisfied with the
company 9 attitude. It is possible
that if there is not 9 change soon, q

formed to go into the business. It
would be better for the city to own

franc chise from the city ought to be-

THE NlCARAGUAN CANAL.
Admiral walker Reports on the Work
Now Being Done.

WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-Admiral Walk
er, president of the Nicaraguan Canal Com
mission, has returned to Washington and is
again devotng his attention to the COLA
ton and compilation of the material which
will form the substance Of the report of the
commission. The admiral says that the
commission now has about $50 men at work
along the line of the proposed canal and
they will stay there throughout the rainy
season. They are making borings and as
pertaining the character of the soil at every
point where it is proposed to locate dams,
locks or other heavy masonry structures.
In addition TO this the field parties are MAX
ing accurate measurements of the rainfall
and the flow of the various streams lying
within the limits of the canal concession.
This information was particularly desired
by the commission owing to the fact that up
to this point all the calculations made have
been based upon the conditions existing
in the dry season, the time when Nicaragua
has always been visited by commissions.
Admiral Walker is confident that the COM
mission will be able TO report to Congress at
the approaching session, and while he says
the necessary data has not been obtained TO
accurately determine the cost OF the canal,
he feels confident that the project will be
shown to be entirely practicable and worthy
of execution
