SCARCE OF HELP.
The Agent for George S. Good & Co.
is Finding 1t Very Difficult to Sc
cure Help.

An agent for George S. Good & Co.
was working hard among our Mexican
population this morning to secure help
to 90 to the front on the construction
of the E. P. & N. E. road north out OF
Alamogordo. The agent secured the
services of Saunders, who was former
ly employed by Good & Co., and
an urgent effort was made to get Mex
leans to go to the front hut without eff
feet. The Mexicans had an idea that
If they went out there they were going
of q crowd of 20 Mexicans standing on
the corner of Oregon and San Antonio
streets not one of them would consent
to go. For long time Mr.. Saunders
pleaded with them but they stubbornly
refused to listen to any argument sd-
vanced by the labor agent.
One in the crowd said that If they
went to the front for that company
they would get nothing for their work
and that they may as well remain
where they were and take life easy.
"This is not the first trouble they have
had out there. They insist on work
ing the men from sun up until sun
down for Is cents day and we will not
stand it. This is not the
worst of it. While the
men are at work they are treated like
dogs simply because they are Mexicans
They may succeed in getting q few
ignorant Mexicsns to go out with them
but they will not work them
very long. They will soon get tired
of it and quit. If they pay wages
worthy of consideration and treat the
men right there are plenty who would
willingly work for them"

Chinese officials have no definite
knowledge regarding the population
figures. The tendency is to understate
it to foreigners. Some years ago the
official figure was reduced arbitrarily
from 325, 1000, 900 to 215, 100000, but sub
sequently the old figure was restored.

dress of welcome. In responding,
Senator Nelson called attention to
the improvements which had been
made in his native land, and to the
excellent citizenship of Norwegians
in America. The major part OF the
address was delivered in the regular
Norwegian language, punctuated oc-
casionally with dialect phrases
When he turned the theme to Nor
wegian- Swedish politics, he spoke in
his old dialect exclusively. La the
blunt Viking fashion, he said:
"'And then there is one thing /
wish to say in closing. l do not mix
up in your politics, but / jnst want to
say something to you who are my old
neighbors. Where I live there are
about the same number of Norwe-
gians and Swedes. They live peace
fully together, Norwegians and
Swedes over there, and work hand in
hand. They labor SO easily together,
They say: We live in peace; we do
not wish to quarrel, because there will
be nothing for Norwegian and Swede,'
Try and live at peace at home. Keep
peace. Stand together; that is the
best. Then Norway and Sweden is
nearly great power. There was a
time when the Norwegians waged
war across the border, and the Swede
came into Norway. We do not want
anything more of that. God save
you from it.
Senator Nelson had touched upon
q national and much discussed topic
and long quiet followed his address.
Then Sc ool Teacher Horvei pro-
nounced toast for Norwegians in
America. Mugaas, the leader of the
church choir, became reminiscent.
He remembered the senator's mother.
Her name was Ingeborg Kvilekval,
and she was an unusually gifted
woman. She was poetess, with an

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
Chas. Rogers, While Under the Influ-

A man by the name of Charles
Rogers happened along to the home
of Dudley Hall, west of Hancock, on
Thursday, and there tried to borrow
butcher knife, to"cut shoe string
as he said. Not obtaining one, he
went to the home OF ], D. Herrick,
where he obtained a knife and re-
tired behind an adjacent building,
and there succeeded in cutting bad
cash in his throat,
He was taken to Hancock for treat
ment and there DR.. Cuff sewed up the
wound.
1t is said that the man has been
in the insane asylum, but was dis
charged. He was badly under the
influence of liquor Thursday ,and it is
not clear whether the liquor or a
temporary alteration of his mind
caused him to try to attempt to take
his life,

A CREDITABLE EXHIBITION
Such Was the County Fair at the
Armory Last Saturday.

The county fair held at the armory
last Saturday was very creditable
exhibition of Stevens county products.
During the day a large number of
people visited the fair and the gate
receipts amounted to over $40. Sew
eral of the merchants this year inter
ested themselves in the fair and took
over displays of their stock. J. D.
Good had fine exhibit of carpets
and furniture. S. j. Stebbins & Co.
showed model kitchen in his hard
ware display. Hulburd & johnson
exhibited toilet articles and books.
Chas. Henke showed several samples
of his upholstering work.
It was noticeable that manV Han
cock people were among those prom
inent in making the fair a success.
Several Of the best exhibits were
brought in by farmers from that part
of the county and the suggestion OF
the educational exhibit was due en-
tirely to the Hancock teachers, and
it's success was largely due to the
work of Miss Agnes Hunter, the
superintendent.
To no one person is the success of
the fair due more, than to the Secre-
tary, D. T. Wheaton, who has con-
tributed literally of his time and
labor in order that all the details of
the fair should be fully carried out.

who had obtained it from a man
giving his name as Leslie Rossen
The latter was found in the employ
of Peter Kessler, and apprehended.
He waived examination and was
bound over to the grand jury in $500
bail. There is reason to think he is
the same crook as tried to break into
S. J. Stebbins' store. Officer Ryan's
conduct of the case is worthy of great

SENATOR NELSON IN NORWAY
Extracts from an Account of a Ban.
quet in His Honor.

The following extracts are from an
account of the reception rendered
Senator Nelson at Vossevangen, Nor
way.
"The reception to Senator Nelson
was not confined tc the hotel grounds.
Through the entire districts flags we're
waving. The people there knew he
was expected. The Bergen news
papers had announced his arrival and
his intention to visit his native place
Senator Nelson greeted the people at
the hotel in regular Voss custom, by
walking around and shaking hands
with everybody. Bnt there was
something more Voss about him,
which is now rare in the district, the
old-fashioned Voss dialect. This the
Minnesota senator had preserved,
while it had been gradually dying
out at bis old home. It is rarely
spoken now, as the Norwegian Ian
guage is gradually forcing it out of
use. To those who hearu it at the
hotel it was like old wine. The re-
mainder of the day at the hotel was
spent informally, and Senator Nelson
found occasion to renew many old
acquaintances. The day following
he left for Stalhein in his one horse
shay, and alone.
''The following Sunday banquet
in honor of the Minnesotan was
given by the authorities of Evanger,
Senator Nelson.Ereached this place
during the afternoon by rail. It was
day of fescivity about the place, or,
as an old "Vossing" said: 1T isn't
every day we've got man like this
among US" The party was seated
at the banquet at Monson's hotel late
in the afternoon.

An Opportunity to Make or fIar the

rIorris Investment Co. VIII
Give a Twenty Foot Strip of
the Harris Addition If the Coun-
Gil VIII Build q Sidewalk in
Front of 1t.

A proposition is before the people
of Morris to accept or reject. 1t is a
simple one, though its simplicity is
easily lost sight of. Do we want At
lantic avenue to be a 70-foot boule-
yard or a 50-foot eyesore? The Nor
ris Investment Co. have off Ared to
give a 2O-foot strip from the old right
of way for the WIDENING of the
street, They ask in return onlg a NOM
inal favor, that the vi lage grade the
twenty feet and put down a cement
walk in front of the blocks where the
most travel is and plank walks in
front of the other blocks, also that
all unsold portions of the six blocks
be exempted from taxation, This
proposition has been made to the
counciL They will consider it at a
meeting to be held next week.
The village should seize this grand
opportunity to make Atlantic avenue
of proper width, before the lots are
sold to individual buyers and the
necessity of dealing with each one
separately complicates the situation
Other cities have tried to widen mar,
row streets and have spent thousands
of dollars on single case. No time
should be lost in selzing the oppor'
tunity to forestall all future difficulty

GEN. FRED ID. GRANT.
Soldier Son of the Great Soldier
a Honolulu Visitor.

Brig. Gen. Fred Grant is on board
the Sherman, bound for Manila, where
he will take part in the campaign
against Aguinaldo.
Gen. Fred Grant is the eldest son of
the great war General. The resem-
blance to his father is most striking.
The trim of the beard, the square face,
the gray-blue eyes, and the quiet, un-
assuming manner, all contribute to
the likeness. He was born just forty
nine years ago yesterday. He accom-
panied his father to the Civil War and
was in five battles before he was thir-
teen years old. In 1873 he was as
signed to the staff of Gen. Sherman as
Lieutenant-C Colonel, in which capacity
he took part in nearly every expedi-
ton against the Indians. He made
the tour of the world with his father
in 1879. and subsequent to the latter S
death was Commissioner Of New York
Police and ambassador to Vienna.
Gen. Grant is charmed with Homo
lulu, which, he says, is far ahead u
any city of Cuba or Porto Rico. He
spent yesterday in driving about the
city and was delighted with the beau
ty and picturesqueness of the place.

was finally established. But there are
other. things in mans life beside his
pride to be considered. My health, for
instance, has been gradually under
mined by the long strain placed upon
it and by the constant care that has
been necessarily imposed upon me for
so long time; and, of course, we are
all glad to get home
One of the things that touched me
the most, among all the many express
slonS of warm feeling of the people at
home, was the raising of subscription
in my native state to build a bronze
statue of me 10 be placed in .he State
house at Montpelier, oposite the statue
of Ethan Allen. Many time as boy
have | looked at that statue of Ethan
Allen in wonder and admiration. The
inscription said, if | remember right
ly: Surrender in the name of the
Great Jehovah and the Continental
Congress- l feel that no greater COM
pliment could be paid me than the
erection of my statue in such place.
