American Tourist Association Will
Travel in the West This Year.
An extended tour to the Yellowstone
Park has been arranged by the Ameri-
can Tourist Association of which Reau
Campbell is general manager. Many
people of this vicinity are going, as the
itinerary is leisurely and there are
such long stops at all points of interest
that the travellers will be able to make
extended explorations of such places as
Pixies Peak and Garden Of the Gods in
Colorado. The itinerary of the tour in
cludes a visit to unique Salt Lake City
and long ride in sight of the Hockey
Mountains. The same features that
have hitherto made these tours so pop
ular will be prominent this year. There
will be utmost privacy for small parties
in the Pullman sleeping and dining
cars, and all the coaches used on the
drives will be for the exclusive use of
the tourists. The American Tourist
Association has also arranged a tour
of Alaska, and If individual members
of the Yellowstone party desires to con-
tinue further north, the trip will be in
c~orporated in the itinerary. The cost
of tickets for these tours includes all
expenses everywhere. Full particulars
will be furnished upon application to

FIRST IN THE BUILDING.

The Office of the Water Board Has
Been Supplied with Electric Lights
and Power.
The Water Board officials are up-to-
date.
They discovered a fact which is not
generally known, that the franchise of
the Wheeling Electrical Company pro-
vides for furnishing free lights to the
offices in the city building. they acted
promptly upon their information, and
as a result the Water Board Office is
the first in the building to be equipped
with electric lights. The Board pays
for the wiring; the company does the
rest.
The Water Board clerical force has
been working hard In collecting delin-
quent rents, in addition to the work
of the discount period, which has COM
menced. The Board has made the Of
fee as pleasant as possible by providing
two large overhead electric fans.

In the Sunday Register OF last week
appeared an article concerning a miss
ing bond of the city of Wheeling, Of the
denomination of 5000, issued a half
century ago when the city subscribed
to the Marietta & Cincinnati railroad,
which has never been presented for re-
demption, and is to-day worth with ac-
cumulated interest $4,000. The sug-
gestion was made Sthat it might have
been held in Holland or Germany.
Yesterday a man who was a stranger
to the city officials, presented himself
to Receiver A. H. Forgey and made in
quiries about the missing bond. He
said he had relatives in Holland, and
he thought they might have the miss
ing bond. Mr.. Forgey was not very
strongly impressed with the probable
ity that the bond would turn up
through this source. The fact that it
may have gone to Holland, and the
stranger had relatives there, did not
inspire a fear that the city will ever
have to redeem this obligation.
The stranger stated that he was will
ing to pay Mr.. Forgey well for his time
and trouble, if he would furnish him
with a description of the bond. Mr.
Forgey just received a nice increase in
salary, and the offer was not tempting
to him. Besides, he had never seen
the bond, and so far as he knew, no
body else had; and in the present con-
dition OF the city's finances he was not
laundering to get his optics on the paper,
The stranger went away disappointed.
1t has been suggested that it would
be worth the while Of some rascal to
attempt to counterfeit the missing bond
and present it for payment, but the diff
ficulties in the road are SO many that
this is entirely impracticable.

Carpenters Union No. 2, at q meet
ing held Friday night. unanimously
adopted a resolution TO enforce the
card system in local work after July
1st, and in suburban work done by
local contractors.
This means that members Of the
union will refuse to work after that
date with carpenters who do not have
union cards. About two-thirds of the
carpenters of the city are members Of
the union, the remaining one-third.
having previously refused to join the
organization. The union is in better
condition to-day, according to state
ments made by its officers, than it has
been since the strike of eleven years
ago. Members express the hope that
the stand which they have taken will
not cause any trouble to the contrac-
tors. Their primary object is to. COM
pei all men working at the trade to
join the union They allege that the
competition with non-union carpen-
tiers has kept their wages down to such
a point. that they are paid less than
skilled mechanics in the building
trades, receiving very little more than
the bod carriers.
There is at present no agreement be-
tween the carpenters and contractors.
The agreement between the union and
the Builders Exchange expired on
April 1st. It called for an average
wage rate of $3.50 per day, but union
carpenters say hat it was not lived
up to, because of n%on-union carpen-
tiers agreeing to work for less money.
For this reason no new agreement has
been presented this year, but promi-
nent members of the union say that it
is very likely that a demand for an in
crease of 25 cents a day will be made
before the building season is much
further advanced.
Carpenters now work nine hours a
day, and their wages range from 81
to $3.50. The contractors will be noti-
fed of their determination not to work
with non-union men.
IA number of contractors in the city
say they are having trouble in securing
men, and that unless there are more
carpenters they will be embarrassed in
completing contracts which they have
made. On this subject, a prominent
member of the carpenters union said
yesterday:
'"The scarcity of carpenters in Wheel
ing is easily explained. 1t is all due
to the low rate of wages paid here.
Do you suppose a man will work for
$2.25 or $3.50 a day, when he car jump
on a train, go to Pittsburg, and get
a job that pays SO a day? We realize
that some carpenters are better mechan-
les than others and worth more money.
We have been trying to establish a
minimum rate of wages, but have been
unsuccessful. Nobody can doubt the
justice Of our demands. Compare our
wages with those of stone masons and
bricklayers. If we are paid $3.50 a day,
or $15 a week, 1t appears like reason
able wages but II it rains, or we knock
off for a half hour for any cause, we
are locked. The mills have caused
shop work to be discontinued, and when
we are not working outside we are idle.
The wages of carpenters, taken the
year around, do not average more than
$40 or $11 a week.

Special Session Dangerous.

While the Legislature may be called
in special session to accomplish one
particular object, it is impossible for
the Governor to limit its exercise OF
power to the purpose stated in the
call. There is nothing in either the
Constitution or the law which gives
the Governor authority to say what
the Legislature shall do or what If
shall not. He may specify in the call
the object upon which it is desired to
have legislative action, but after the
law making body has once assembled
1t is in no way restrained by any
wording of the formal summons. It
is then coordinate body, limited in
its powers only by the restrictions
of the Constitution and possessing the
same authority to consider and pass
legislation of every description as
when in regular session. Without the
Governors call to give it vitality the
Legislature remains an inert and
powerless body, but as soon as the
word has been spoken which gives it
life, lit is independent of Gubernator-
ial control save as that may be exer-
cised through the veto power
1t is we'll that this should be known
to correct the impression, which seems
to be prevalent, that if Governor
Voorhees, shall specify Passaic puri-
fication as the sole object for which
he summons the Legislature in special
session, nothing else can be considered.
That will be entirely as the majority
in each house may determine. The
Morris Canal bill or any other mea-
sure may be passed if it can secure
votes enough. Newark News.
