ure to adjust differences, the boycott
committee would follow il up and call
ON the party against whom the griey-
ance existed and inform him that un-
less the matter was adjusted the mem
bers of the committee would withdraw
their patronage from him.
At this point of the examination
photographer was granted permission
to take a fashlight picture of the court.
Mr. Wines objected To being photo
sraphed, but Colonel Sanders was will
ing provided that his clients got into
the picture with him. and DIR. HUE
Pock. Hum Fay and other Chinese
were properly arranged and the pho
tographer got in his work.
When the examination was resumed
Colonel Sanders asked Weldon as to
the methods adopted by the Silver Bow
Trades e. Labor assembly after the ar
bitration committee had failed.
1T is then referred to the boycott
committee
What is done when the boycott COM
mttee fails?''
II do not recall case of that kind.
The witness said he had no personal
knowledge of the assembly issuing boy
colt notices and cards, but remembered
seeing such notices in some of the pa
pers. He could not say whether or not
the notices emanated from the assem-
bly, or not. though he had seen notices
marked endorsed by the Silver Bow
Trades & Labor assembly"
The witness was asked If, during his
presence at the meetings of the Cooks
G. Walters union the question Of boy
cotting had been discussed
II have repeatedly heard the ques-
ton of boycotting the Chinese dis
cussed in the organization of which |
am a member the Cooks & Walters
assembly"
How frequently was it discussed"
THE question came up in one form
or another at almost every meeting"
"At any of these meetings, during the
winter of 1867 was 1T determined
that the Chinese of Butte should be
boycotted?"
THE use of the term boycott was
applied to such action as IL was deter
mined should be taken in regard to the
Chinese"
WAS such action professed to be
taken in the interest of labor?'
I'm a general way"
WAS ii resolved or determined at
any of these meetings TO request the
silver Bow Trades IL Labor assembly
to declare a boycott on the Chinese of
Butte?''
ITO the best of my knowledge and
belief no such resolution was passed at
any meeting that | attended"
did the Cooks 81 Walters assembly
! at any of it's meetings pass a resoiu-
| ton boycotting the Chinese?"
| LAS l understand 1t there was such
a standing resolution when l joined the
assembly"
Then they were already boycotted?'
THAT is my impression"
The witness said the question usually
! came up in the meeting by some mem
Der reporting that a certain person was
employing a Chinaman.
Mr.. Welden's examination had no
been concluded when an adjournment
for the day was taken.

notion that every year will be a repeti-
ton of last year. You will see dull
times again. You will soon have use
for all the money you have, but it will
probably never be so hard for you to
get along again. That will depend on
how you act while you have plenty.
If you are judicious; if you see to it
that no mortgage is allowed to fasten
itself upon you and no other interest
bearing obligation are left standing,
you will be long way along the road
to future independence. 1t may not
mean so good u harvest for the mort
gage company, or the collector but
you are not their keeper. Don't waste
your money or your time trying to
find out who or what is responsible
for your present prosperity. Nobody
is in particular. Prosperity can not
be made by law altogether. The best
law on mortgages is not to have any,
and the best laws on interest is not to
owe any. With these in force you
have little to fear from n financial
point of view.

1t seems to be foregone conclusion
that the Northern Pacific Railroad
company will settle their tax at the
figures set by the county commissions
ers. The presumption is based on the
fact that the Adams County bank is
taking county warrants at par which
they could hardly do if there was any
danger OF further controversy between
the county and railroad company in
reference to the amount to be paid;
and the further fact that the bank is
probably in position to know what
the company propose doing.

Ritzville should be proud of her
financial management during the
past year, as well as sanguine in her
expectations for the year just begun.
Very material reduction was made in
the town Indebtedness last year, and
at the same time substantial improve
ments We're made. Now that the
Northern Pacific is about to pay their
delinquent tax some part of which
will go to the town, and the prospect
of more than double the revenue from
license, it would seem that with as
good financial management next year
as was had last year the town should
almost be out of debt.

TAKE A TUMBLE,

Farmers of Adams county you have
been successful in the past year. The
most of you have made money enough
to square you with the world. You
don't owe dollar to anybody. You
feel independent, more SO, perhaps
than you ever did in your life. You
are all right. The News congratulate
you; but be careful. Now that you
are out of debt keep out. You said
last year that if you ever got out of
debt you would never while you lived
get in again. Keep that promise you
made yourself when you had no idea
that you would ever get out. You
can do it. Don't get excited if some
body has few more acres ofland than
you have. Don't run away with the

SHERIFFS' CORNER.

The News thinks it is owing to the
crippled condition of the mail service
caused by the washouts of the railroad
that we have not received any com
munication from our sheriff friends,
but we expect to stay with our propo-
sition and hope to have something
from some of them by next week.
Who will break the ice?

RITzVILLE, FEBRUARY, 9, 1898
SOME WILL COME BACK.

Every tr ain to the west lately has
been loaded with people bound for the
Alaskan gold fields. The great major
ity of them are young men from the
far east. They are in general very en-
thusiastic and seem to have no doubt
whatever about their ability to shovel
up plenty OF the yellow metal, only
once they get through. A Forty miner
could not tell them anything about
mining that they would take time to
listen to. They think they are all
right and will be all right and soon
return with untold wealth. Were it
not so ridiculous we would say we
hope it will be so, but we can only say
we hope we may be mistaken in regard
to the number who succeed. 1t is our
firm conviction that at least nine out
of ten of these people will utterly fail
in their enterprise. They will spend
more money than they will find. They
will suffer hardships which they have
no conception of until they leave Sc
attic and many will not survive those
hardships but will fill unknown and
unmarked graves in the frozen north.
A large majority of those who sur
vive will finally after many months Of
suffering and privation and starvation
drag their emaciated, frostbitten and
diseased bodies back into the land of
the white man and spend the remain
der OF the life they have wantonly
shortened, trying vainly to get their
wits together long enough to tell how
it was they missed it.
This may not be encouraging but
the News believes it to be fairly live
word picture OF what will happen in
the majority OF cases and it would
rather be instrumental in, and respon-
'sible for, preventing some one from
rushing blindly into they know not
what, and OF rather persuading them
to let well enough alone.
We honestly believe that the people
who are passing through Adams
county every day en- route to Alaska,
and look on our bunch grass hills only
with contempt, will, in all probability,
never see as good a country for find
ing gold again, until they per&lance
return. =
The News would mot only discour-
age the senseless rush to the Klondike
on the ground of humanity to those
deluded fasteners, but we have a
more selfish motive. 1t can only re-
suit disadvantageously to this state,
as the few who strike it will return to
the places they came from, taking
their money with them. The many
who do not strike it will be dumped
into this country next fall by the
thousands, the most destitute class Of
beings this country has ever seen.
What will the few outfitting con-
Germs, who are the only ones making
.-ay money out OF the Klondike rush
say to them then? Why, simply,
"You was out Of luck"

Pickpockets and Burglars at Seattle.

The rush to Alaska has brought to
this city very undesirable element
and reports of pocket picking and
robberies are becoming frequent.
Last Saturday burglars entered the
room OF j. A.Ludstrom and Victor
Anderson and stole $500 in cash and
checks. Simon Angus had his pocket
picked of $40. Eighty dollars was
stolen from cash register in restau-
rant and S. E. Fermondes, a we'll
known contractor, had his pocket
picked of 5000 at the entrance of the
Puget Sound National bank.
Today four persons, while waiting
for their mail at the postoffice, had
their pockets picked OF small sums.
1t is thought that the pickpockets are
five in number, who recently came
here from Denver. Chief of Police
Reed believes that e. T. Nisbet, who
is under arrest, is one of the gang.
