The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1899-11-02

The machinery moulders of Pitts
burg have decided to ask the manufac-
turers for an advance in wages of at
least 10 per cent, and the establish
ment of q minimum wage rate of not
less than $2.75 per day. The attend
ance numbered over 800, representing
every machine shop in the city and al
most 1000 skilled mechanics. The
moulders have made no demand for a
wage advance since 1889, when they
won their fight after . short strike.
Since that time wages have gone up
and down, and all semblance of uni
formity has been obliterated. Some of
the shops are paying as high as So q
day, while others pay 40 to 80 cents

Use of a Great Name.

Here's tip for some of our old
friends who have big names and need
a little ready money: Turner Beall,
president of the Produce Exchange
Trust Company used to be secretary of
the Produce Excange and Of the New
York Southern Society. Among the
men of his acquaintance he admires
none so much as he does Colonel Will
liamde Hertburne Washington. A lit
tie while ago he asked Colonel Wash
ington if he might use his name In a
financial transaction. Having implicit
faith in Beall, the colonel consented,
and was pleased to receive short time
afterward a check for SIS, 900, his

The Missionary,s Little Joker.

A native Maori chieftain, the de-
scendant of cannibal kings, is now COM
plotting his medical education in Chi
eago. Cannibalism ended in his tribe,
he says, when Bishop selwyn converted
his grandfather; but he tells some stor-
les of it which have distinctly humor-
rous flavor. For instance: 1t Is said
that once chief captured a missionary
who was anything but toothsome
morsel, as he was old and thin and
looked as If his flesh would be tough.
The missionary warned the chief that
he would not make good dinner, and
pulling up his trousers, cut slice off
the calf of his leg and offered it to the
chief. The chief tasted 1t, said he
didn't like it, and passed 1t to SUBJ
chief The sub tasted it, made wry
face, and passed it on. The next man
who took bite of it spat it out. The
missionary was released. After he had
gone it was discovered that he wore a
cork leg.

Wisconsin Farmer Makes . Discovery

Mr.. White, a Pleasant Prairie,
Wis.,. farmer, has more bees and honey
than he knows what to do with. About
two years ago a swarm of bees took
possession of an old frame house on his
farm and as they were not disturbed
they multiplied until there are mill
lions of them.
Mr.. White recently made an attepmt
to enter the old house; he succeeded In
getting far enough to find the whole
interior lined with honey comb and
then he made hasty retreat. He says
there must be several hundred pounds
of honey there, but he does not want
any of it at present. He will wait for

MINES OF ALASKA.


Herman Olson has returned to Skag'
way from the headwaters of the Big
Horn river, which empties into Taku
Arm opposite the Golden Gate. he
found a foot or Ia inches of snow at
Ptarmigan pass on his return, and a
week ago there was even more OF it In
the Big Horn mountains. While the
snow was too deep for Olson to reach
the highest point desired, he was. for
tunate enough to find another copper
and gold ledge, which is from % to 90
feet in width, and carries ore which
looks remarkably similar to the wond-
erful rock taken from the famous En-
gineer's group on Taku Arm. Olson
staked four claims for his principals on
this ledge.

He went down to the breakfast table
with enough wet towels wrapped
around his head to make a turban for
the mahdi. His wife met him with
reproaches in her eyes, but she did not
scold him. She wanted to inform him
of his conduct the night before, how
ever.
my DEAR" she said, Ibid you know
that you came very near killing us all
when you went to bed last nightG''
Nope" said her husband, thickly,
Is he felt his hot forehead.
"Well, you did. You knocked over
the baby's cradle. Then you blew
out the gas and we were nearly as
phyxiated. What do you think OF

Her husband is usually resourceful
man, but the fumes of many cocktails
taken the night before somewhat cloud
ed his intellect. He made grand
brace and tried to look pathetic.
"M'love," he said, as ray of inspir-
alton burst through his foggy brain,

Returned the Compliment.

The obsequious person who seeks fees
from travellers by pretending to mis-
take them for noblemen occasionally
meets one who does not fall into the
trap. The following example is taken
from an English paper: An English
gentleman of somewhat imposing per.
sonal appearance had door opened for
him at the Paris opera house by an
usher, who bowed low and said: "The
door is open, prince" The English
man glanced at him, and, without ex-
tending the expected fee, sipmly said:
"Thank you very much, viscount."

When Navigation Closes.

Charles Sperry says the Yukon wa,
closed by ice at an unusually early Pc
riod last year. He says that in 1880
he was at the mouth of Stewart river
on the Yukon, and the river did moi
close that year until on Thanksgiving
day, November "a, on which day three
scows, bringing Is men, arrived at
Stewart river. On November 10, 1888,
Mr.. Sperry and another man, took their
dog team in boat and started for Cir
Gle City, but on the 18th of the same
month they were blocked by ice at the
mouth of the Klondike river. From
these experiences it appears that there
have been years during which naviga-
ton was open much later than last
year, when it closed at Dawson, No

Passing Of the Horse.

So soon as nature sees an improvement
there is change. The candle gave way to
electricity and the horse to the automobile.
The fact that Hostetters Stomach Bitters
has been sold for over half century,
proves its value. There is nothing to equal
IL for stomach or liver trouble,
