SATURDAY CLOSING.
Said That It Is Likely to Be
Adopted BY Many Cam
ton Shops.

The first factory in Canton to close
on Saturday afternoon and give its
employees half holiday was Charles
Lind's shop. The Central Labor union
men believe that in time all the other
shops in the city will follow suit. The
closing of this shop is attributed by
members of the organization directly
to an article published in the News
Democrat a short time ago.
One of the members said: "That ar
ticle in regard to the closing of the
shops on Saturday afternoons has al
ready had the, desired effect. Charles
Lind now shuts down his factory at
noon on Saturday. We believe that
this was caused largely through the
story referred to. The members of the
union have spoken favorably about the
matter and believe that it has helped
them in their endeavor to bring about
that which they have been attempting
to accomplish" .
He said in regard to other shops
closing: I'm time the other factories
OF the city will follow suit.
Union labor been gaining steadily
In Canton. A great advance has been
made ia organized labor in the city
during the past few months and many
industries that have not already be-
come organized are talking of doing
SO as soon as they can get together.
AS the unions gain strength and have
an opportunity to present the matter
to the manufacturers believe we will
have little difficulty in accomplishing
the general closing of shops in Canton.

BILL CROSS AND
HIS PET BEAR.
By JOAQUIN MILLER.

When my father settled down at the
foot Of the Oregon sierras with his lit
tie family long, long years ago, it was
| 40 miles from our place to the nearest
| civilized settlement.
People were very scarce in those
days and bears were very plenty. We
also had wolves, wildcats, wild cattle,
wild hogs and good many long tailed
and big headed yellow California lions.
The wild cattle, brought there from
Spanish Mexico, next to the bear were
most to be feared. They had long,
sharp horns and keen, sharp hoofs. Ma
ture,. had gradually %helped them out
in these weapons of defense. They
had grown to be slim and trim Of body
and were as supple and swift as deer.
They were the deadly enemies of all
wild beasts, because all wild beasts
devoured their young.
When fat and saucy, in warm sum-
mer weather, these cattle would hover
along the foothills in bands, hiding
in the hollows, and would begin to
below whenever they saw bear or
wolf or even a man or boy, If on foot,
crossing the wide valley of grass and
blue camas blossoms. Then there
would be music! They would start up,
with head and tails in the air, and
broadening out left and right they
would draw long, bent line, complete
ly shutting off their victim from all
QDnrOach fo tho 6foothills
IL the unfortunate victim were a
man or boy on foot, he generally made
escape up one of the small ash trees
that dotted the valley in groves here
and there, and the cattle would then
soon give up the chase. But If it were
a wolf or any other wild beast that
could not get up tree the case was
different. Far away on the other side
OF the valley, where dense woods lined
the banks Of the winding Willamette
river, the wild, believing herd would
be answered. Out from the edge of the
woods would stream right and left two
long, corresponding, surging lines, bel
lowing and plunging forward now and
then, their heads to the ground, their
tails always in the air and their eyes
afame, as If they would set flre to the
ERg gray grass. With the precision
enH discipline Of a well ordered army
tiny would close in upon the wild
bekst, too terrified now to either fight
or by, and, leaping upon him one after
another with their long hoofs, he would
;l1RF1ga ltt}e time be crushed into an I'M
recognizable mass. Not q bone would
be left unbroken. It il mistake to
-ttha-they ever use their long.

The wolves were the little chicken
thieves known as coyotes, quite harm
less, as rule, SO far as man is concern
ed, but the cattle hated them, and they
were terrified nearly to death.
The cattle stopped a few rods from
the stockade. We let the coyotes go,
but we kept the little bear and named
him Bill Cross. Yet he was never bit
cross, despite his name.

Two things may be here written

reason he woGldn't use gun. Again,
| let it be written down also that the rea-
son he was going away that warm au-
tumn afternoon was that there was
| some work to Go. These facts were
clear to my kind and indulgent father,
but of course we boys never thought OF
It and laid our little shoulders to the
hard work Of helping father lift up the
long, heavy poles that were to complete
the corral around our pioneer log cabin,
and we really hoped and half believed
that he might bring home little pet
bear.
This stout log corral had become an
absolute necessity. It was high and
strong and made Of poles or small logs
stood on end in trench after the fash
ion Of a primitive one in front Of the
cabin door. Here it was proposed to
put up a gate. We also had talked
about portfolios in the corners Of the
corral, but neither gate nor portfolios
were yet made. In fact, as said before,
the serene and indolent man Of the sea
always slowly walked away down
through the grass toward his untracked
claim whenever there was anything
said about portfolios, posts or gates.
Father and we three little boys had
opo1rv %h0 Toe nj c,o1;I1xy
"tamped" in the ground as the sun was
going down.
Suddenly we heard q yell, then yell
ing, then a believing. This yelling was
heard in the high grass in the Camas
valley below, and the believing Of cat
tie came from the woody river banks
far beyond.
Then up on the brown hills of the Or
egon sierras above us came the wild
answer Of the wild black cattle Of the
hills, and moment later, right and
left, the long black lines began to
widen out; then down they came, like
a whirlwind, toward the black and
surging line in the grass below. w
were now almost in the center Of whs

And now here is something curious
to relate. Our own cows, poor, weary,

used only in defense, the same as elk

dared the plains in those days Of 40,
when towards did not venture and the
weak died on the way, had not the
greatest respect for the courage or en-
durance Of those who had reached Ore
gon by ship. But here was this man, a
sailor by trade, settling down in the
interior Of Oregon and, strangely
enough, pretending to know more about
everything in general and bears in par
ticular than either my father or any of
his boys.
He had taken up piece Of land
down in the pretty Camas valley,
where the grass grew long and strong
and waved IN the wind, mobile and

reckon. He would sometimes sit on
our little porch as the sun went down
and tell US boys strange, wild sea sto-
ries. He had travelled far and seen
much, as much as any man can see on
water, and maybe was not very big
liar, for a sailor, after all. The only
thing about him that we did not like
outside of his chronic idleness was his
exalted opinion of himself and his un-
concealed contempt for everybodYs
opinion but his own.
"B.ll." said my father one dap, "those
black Spanish cattle will get after that
red sash and sailor Jacket of yours
some day when you go down in the val
ley to your claim, and they won't leave
a grease spot. Better go horseback or
at least take gun when you go down
next time"
'Pshawl Squire, wish had as
many dollars as amt afeard of all the
black Spanish cattle in Oregon. Why,
If they're so blasted dangerous how did
your missionaries ever manage to drive
them up here from Mexico, anyhow"
Still. for all that, the very next time
that he saw the old sailor setting out
at his snail pace for his ranch below,
slow and indolent as IL on the deck Of
a ship, my father insisted that he
should go on horseback or at least take
. gun.
''FAooh. pooh! wouldn't he bothered
with horse or gun. Say, I'm goin to
bring your boys pet bear some day."
And SO, cooking his little hat down
over his right eye and thrusting his dig
hands into his deep pockets almost to
the elbows, he slowly and lazily Whis-
tied himself down the gradual slope OF
the foothiLls, waist deep In the waving
grass and delicicgs wild towers, and

tionaI Debt on the Increase--Inter
est on Latter $2oo,ooo,ooo Yearly.
New York, July 12.-The Paris cor
respondent of The Tribune says:
The naval expenditure of France for
1902 is officially proposed to be $685.
100000, which at first sight seems to
be $3,100000 less than in 1901, but if
it is taken into account that the cost
Of maintaining the marine infantry
and artillery, amounting to about
$5,400,000, has been transferred from
the navy to the ministries of war and
the colonies, it is found that the
money that France intends to spend
upon the navy during 1902 is in real
ity 100000 in excess Of the naval
expenses of the current year.
1t is matter of serious considera-
ton for the French whether they are
not spending upon their navy more
than their national resources warrant.
France has now piled up debt in
volving an annual charge for interest
of nearly S20O,000,00O, or, in other
words, every man, woman and child
in France has now to pay S. per an
mum on the national debt. The army
costs the country $192,0O0,00O year,
and the total expenditure for 1902 is
officially proposed to be 100000.
No Increase In Population.
Moreover, reflections upon the
French census cause renewed uneasi-
ness. Last March the population in
round numbers was $500, 900, being
an increase of only 100000 since 1896,
and even this meager result is mostly
accounted for by Paris and its sub
urbs, where the increase has been |
292, 900, due principally to foreign i'm
so that in the rest of France |
the population has been augmented by
only $4,000 during the past five years.
That is to say, for military and naval |
purposes the population is almost sta |
tionary, and iD this respect France |
stands alone among the great nations |
Of Europe.
Under these conditions NJ. Jaures,
the Socialist leader, and many ad-
vanced thinkers among the Radicals
and Radical Socialists hold that it is
for France to have at the
same time a navy and army of the
first rank, simply because she has not
