Mr.. Metcalf Hears the
WeayerS' Demands.
NO DECISION REACHED.
Another Conference Will BE Held
Later In the Day.
MEETING TO BE HELD TONIGHT.

Today 10 a critical time in the Vans
kuck mill situation. he superintena-
emit Mr. Mstcalf, was at the mill this
morning and his presence Is rapidly
bringing matters to a head.
The spirit of the weavers seems deter
mind, and 1t now appears more than
probable that they will not go TO work
tomorrow morning. They stand on two
demands-to have the wage scale of 1879
restored and to abolish the double-looin
system. They say that II their demands
are not acceded TO they will not continue
their work.
The committee which was appointed to-
present these demands to and confer with
SUPERINTENDENT Metcalfimet him thislfore-
noon In his office, ana conference last
ing nearly two hours resulted. At the
closs OF this long session Mr.. Metcalf
woulu no. state what had been done, but
said that another conference would be-
held this afternoon and that ne could
say nothing further until tomorrow.
1t was learned elsewhere, however, ..thnt
the comm itteeIhad made n presentation
OF their claims, and that Mr. Metcalf
had promised TO give his answer this
afternoon.
This so,ae OF the men think means
that he has made up his mind what no
Will do. and that he means TO concede
something, probably the restoration OF the
wage scale, but that he does not desire To-
appear anxious to acoede TO the commit
tee and so puts them of till afternoon.
The result of tho afternoons conference
will be laid before the wi AYERS I'm body
tonight and then the final action will be
VKen.
The men say that they cannot longer
tane the strain OF the work that is put
ipon them by the pr ssent loom system,
and much evidence Is presented to show
Its terrible effects on the mems health
and strength. The wage scale of 1893
has been adopted in -Olneyille, and with
the woolen traue In It's present fine con
ditiob there would seam Co be no reason
why the MEN should not ge their old rate
of wages

Home From Dawson.

Mr.. ID. W. simmons, who returned from
Dawson last Thursday, ha' many inter
esting incidents to relate of his exper
ieuce in the klOndike country and the
trip to and from that place Mr.. Sim
mons says that there are 10000 people
there where the resources can support
but 800, and that hundreds of men came
into Dawson but to turn about and re-
turn home or go on down tie Yukon.
He also gathered some rather startling
tignrfs while at Dawson, as follows: Up
to July first there had been II 100 claims
staked ou'; l64 prospected, AZ paying,
and but % that was paying big returns.
By this it will be seen that thousands of
claims are abandoned without even a
shovelfull of dirt being turned over.
Mr.. Simmons is well pleased with his
investment. While he endured many
hardships, still the experience was worth
much to him. At Dawson he engaged in
handling town property with Judge Nor
ford and cleaned up some money in this
way. He has claim there which is be-
ing worked but he does not know how it
will pan out. Nearly all of the Yakima
boys now there will remain over this
winter. Judge Morford also expects to
come out next year.

Take No Chances.

The Elensburg Localizer ssys to take
no chances. The people of this state do
not want John l. Wilson returned to the
United States senate. Wilson IS prac-
teal politician, devoid of all principle,
honesty or the qualities that are found in
the makeup of man who has the inter
ests of the people at heart. His career
as a national legislator has been one long
string of political jobbery, always doing
that which best subserves Wilson's inter.
eats, at no time doing the STATE service
without first observing the effect it would
have on his own future political career.
So nicely has ha engineered his political
future that he has today powerful grasp
on the republican machinery Of this
state, and il the next legislature is repub-
lican the chances of John l.. Wilson sue
ceeding himself are greater than the
chances that he will not. The place to
smash the Wilson com bination and place
beyond his reach any possible chance of
reelection is at the polls. Under no cir
cumstances should single bimetalllst
cast his vote fer En- lehart.
