Labor ia the Woods.

a prominent Minnesota paper states
that the Northwestern Loggers AS
ISOLATION, which includes al Of the
logging operators in Wisconsin and
Minnesota, has resolved that all labor
shall hereafter be hired by the month
the price Of board to be included and
that board shall be charged for at the
rate Of SIS per month, or at so cents
a day per man. It is believed that
this is the most effective way of do
ing away with lot Of loafers and
sleepers who make it practice Of
working few days and then laying
around the camp at the expense Of
the loggers. It was also decided that
20 per cent. shall be deducted from
the wages of each man who fails to
work out his contract period, 1t was
decided that the practice OF paying or
advancing railroad fares to men be
discontinued. It was also agreed that
the free meal system, which has been
the general practice at the logging
camps, should be discon tinued and
the price OF meals shall be 25 cents.
The generosity Of the lumbermen in
this respect has been abused and the
custom Of feeding free of charge all
who came became a serious drag upon
the man that settled the bills for sup
plies. Men will be expected to have
hospital tickets or pay rs cents a
month to the employer who will fur
nish hospital privileges. It was de-
cided that only one check shall be
given in any one calendar month.

youth. Relatives are en- route here and

they encountered no opposition. They
learned that some II Europeans, mostly
Swedish and Norwegian missionaries, be-

also been put to death. The details Of the

Wingate and Ryder visited the Belgian
station, where the priests in charge and
1900 converts had sustained prolonged
siege by Boxers and imperial troops.
They were informed that other stations

by Boxers, but by Chinese troops acting

this in spite Of the assurances by the

doing its utmost to suppress outrages.

BIGGEST SAILING SHIP AFL0AT.
Standard Oil Steel Vessel, the Astral,
Launched nj Bnth.

Bath, Me-, Dec. 9.--The big four mast
ed steel ship built for the Standard Oil
company Of New York was launched sue
cessfully from the Arthur Sewall com
pany's yard here. The Astral is 332 feet
long, 45.3 feet beam, 26 feet depth of
hold, with gross tonnage of 3,206.47 ana
carrying capacity of 100000 gallons.
The Astral will be the first Of the
Standard Oil company's fleet of sailing
ships to fly the American flag. She will
be commanded by Captain ]. w. Den
nam Of Salem, Mass, formerly command
er OF the ship Paramita. The Astral will
ply between New York, Japan and Chi
M, carrying oil to the foreign ports and
feturning with hemp and sugar.
The launching was made an important
event, aside from the fact that the Astral
is the largest sailing ship in the world, as
il was the one hundredth craft launched
by the Sewalls since the family began
shipbuilding in 1923. The vessel was
christened by Miss Fanny Rucrecht OF
New York, daughter of Philip Ruerecht
manager Of the foreign shipping depart
ment OF the company for which tue AS
tYal WAS built.
