Strike at Rat Portage.

Rat Portage located at the head of
the Lake of the Woods, 1873 miles east of
Winnipeg, and one ofthe busiest milling
and and numbering towns in this part of
the country, has serious strike on hand.
The following dispatch of the 10th inst,
shows there is no let up to the trouble:
Matters in connection with the strike
are at present in about the same cond-
ton. A great majority of the men
brought in from the east by the company
have gone over to the men, and purpose
joining the newly organized union, which
the millmen have just established here.
Some of them however, went to work
this morning, and the mill was running
until little before IL o'clock, when the
strikers catered the works and prevent
ed the running of the mill Owing to a
dispute which arose between the strik-
ers and the men who were at work, one
man was somewhat seriously injured.
The company, it is said, have consign-
ment Of 800 men coming from the east
to operate the mills. A number Of spe.
cial constables have been sworn in tol
the purpose of protecting the property
of the company in case of trouble. The
men, however, appear inclined to con
duct their business in quiet and gen
tlemanly manner, although some of the
men brought in from the east in the first
instance may increase the difficulties o.
the situation. The mills are at present
completely shut down. but while the
men are confident that the local lumber
industry will remain in this condition fol
some time, the managers of the company
appear to be of the opinion that the mills
will be running in full force within few
DAYS.

The trophies and relics taken from
The battlefelds OF Cuba and Porto Rico
pnd the Spanish ships which were sunk
during the late war have seemingly
made the people forget those trophies
that adorp our parks 'and public places.
Formerly visitors 10 the Brooklyn navy
yard never failed to stop at trophy
park and look with pleasure at the rel
ics OF past wars. Now they pass the
place as IL nothing were there. There
are many interesting relics in the navy
yard, and while some OF them have not
been taken from the battlefield or the
ships Of an enemy all have interesting
histories.
As the visitor enters the yard and
strolls down the broad walk past the
commandant's office he finds little tri-
angle in which are mounted several
queer looking cannon. This is trophy
park, and In ii are placed some of the
relics taken from British ships during
the war OF 1912. The guns are mounted
along the edge OF the well kept lawn
and point in all directions. There are
Six of them. They are of the smooth
bore type and are surmounted by a

sissippi and has been at the navy yard
a great many years.
In another part of the yard surround
ed by the big machine shops are the an
chor rests. There the great mud hooks .
used on the vessels are placed until
ready for service. There are many queer
looking anchors TO be found there. Some
OF them are from the old ships that
have long since been placed out OF COM
mission or sold. Others are inventions
sent TO the yard TO be tried. They did
not prove successful and the owners,
becoming discouraged. failed 10 take
them away. On one Of the rests is an
anchor which closes up like a knife. II
could be easily slowed away when not
in use. but that is it's only redeeming
feature. The old style anchors. with
their stationary stocks, arms and nukes
are rapidly giving way TO the great mud
hooks with their movable fins. The an
chors vary in size and weight, and there
are some on the rests that weigh only a
few hundred pounds, while others will
tip the balance at many tons.
The largest ones are used on the bat
tleships and they are veritable mon
sters. They vary in weight from $500
to II 200 pounds. There is none OF the
very anchors in the yard now. The
Oldest are those that were used on the
Portsmouth. Under the rests are the
old wooden stocks taken from the an
chors which were used on the Consti-
tuition and Constellation. when these
two vessels were on the active list.
These great pieces Of wood al. slowly
going to pieces and within very short
time there will be nothing left of them
excepting the iron bands.
Facing the parade grounds OF the
marine barracks are two OF the old
brass Dahlgren guns taken from one OF
