Pittsburg. Pa. Aug. 5.-"Within O
week every union man and every union
man at heart in the employ of the
United States Steel Corporation will be
asked to join in the strike now being
waged by the Amalgamated Associa-
ton. We must settle whether uniOnism
is to stand or fall. There will be no
more conferences with United States
Steel Corporation unless the meeting is
asked for by the officials of that cor
pOratiOn. The Amalgamated Associa-
ton will not request peace meeting"
These and several other significant
statements were made last night by
Theodore J. Shaffer, president of the
Amalgamated Association of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers, upon his re-
turn from the fruitless conference with
J. Pierpont Morgan and others in New
York
Now Fight to the Bitter End.
1t is now fight to the bitter finish
between the great billiOn-dollar steel
trust and organized labor. Shaffer says
that he is ready to employ every
peaceable means within the power OF
man to win a victory. No quarter is
to be given and none will be requested.
The entire management of the battle
has been placed in the hands Of Pres
ident Shaffer. He has absolute power
to call out every man who Is connected
with the organization and he intends
to do 1t. He Is satisfied with the pro-
gress of the fight to date He finds
that none of his battle lines have been
broken. Promise is made by Shaffer
that the trust will find that the Anal
gamated Association has strong roots
In many of its mills.

our absolute victory"
Involves Many Thousand Men.
There is scarcely one of the 100000
employees of the United States Steel
Corporation but what may feel the
strike. 1t may be that the American
Federation of Labor will call out its

United States Steel Corporation: the

A Handsome Monument.

A beautiful granite monument has
been erected to the memory of Rev. D.
j. Cogan in the Roman Catholic
cemetery adjoining Greenwood, by
Michael Hogan, whose wife is a neice
of the deceased. The monument has
ponderous granite base, surmounted
by die upon which the single word
Cogan is boldly chiseled in plain
raised letters. Above this is shaft
of polished red notified granite, and
the whole is surmounted by beanti-
fully carved cap-stone-the height OF
the entire monument being eight feet,
and weighing over two tons. The
effect is very fine, and its beauty is
enhanced by the fact that it is a pleas.
ing variation from any other in the
enclosure. It is the work of the st.
Cloud Granite Works. and indicates
that this concern employs labor OF a
high class in turning out work OF this
character.

recorded in the annals of cattle breed.

horn of medium size, eleven years old,
up to date she has given birth to twen-
ty-two calves, and has succeeded in
raising nine of them. In 1898 at the
age of three years she gave birth to
one calf; in 1894 to triplets; in 1895 to
five, raising two; in 1896 to four, rails
ing three; in 1898 to four, raising one;
in 1900 to five, raising one. All these
calves were perfectly developed in ev-
cry way and of both sexes. Strange
as it may seem, any OF the twenty-five

GREAT
RAILWAY
PROJECT
A Gardner Writes to the
Journal.
a System Of
Suburban Lines.

Ed JouRNAL--Having had talk with
several farmers aud others interested in
the advancement of the interests, and
the development Of Salem and Marion
county,l wsh to make few suggestions.
In place of the county giving franchise
TO any person or corporation for the pur-
pose Of building railroads | think IL
would be much better, il the people liv.
ing along and adjacent to the road from
silyerton to Salem would donate right
OF way, 30 feet wide, along said road to
Marion county for the purpose of build
ing, owning, and operating an electric or
motor railway, in the interest of all the
people. Then in place Of giving bonus
to any person or corporation let the re.
sidents Of the county subscribe labor or
material for the purpose Of building said
railroad, and when it is completed said
subscriptions to be redeemed in traffic on
said line Of railway, not more than one
fifth in any one year. 1 don't believe
there is farmer, | bo er, merchant,
or business man in Marion county who
would not contribute toward euch an
enterprise. These motor or electric
lines can be built in this way, not
only to Siverton, but to Aumsville,
Stayton, Mehama, and Mills city, and
another out to the Rosedale Fruit Tracts,
These roads can be built and maintained
at less coat than it takes TO build and
keep up the wagon road, and every
farmer, fruit grower, merchant, mechanic,
andlaborerIin the county would contribute
TO build them in the interest of the
whole people. venture to say that a
deed to right OF way will be freely
given TO the county, for thia purpose,
as we'll as the ties and labor to grade
these lines, subscribed payable in
traffic over them when completed.
What the county would need to do is to
furnish the iron and rolling etock and
the general supervision of the work of
building the roads. When built they
must be operated in the interest OF all
the people. How can this be done7 By
calling a vote Of the citizens at the next
general election for their approval to
vote, say s40O, 900, to be paid out of the
earnings Of said roads, said bonds not
to draw more than 3 per cent interest,
and 10 be paid on or before 20 years as
as fast as the earnings will permit. They
should then be cancelled and the line
now in operation in Salem purchased and
mado a part OF this great improvement.
Then an extension from Salem by Polk
county TO Independence, Monmouth,
Dallas, Mccoy, Amity, McMinnville,
etc., should be built. By building these
lines we would bring in a class OF immi-
grants who would buy thousands Of
acres of land and increase our popula.
tion hundred fold. Long before the
debt would fall due, our population
would be quadrupled. and the VILLAIN
cite Valley would truly be the Garden
Of Eden, where the flowers bloom for
ever, and the fruit is unexcelled.

Thefollowine poem by Barry Cornwall
is one Of the strangest compositions IN
existence:
She cate by the river eprings,
Aud bound her coal black hair;
And che sang, as the cuckoo siLgs,
Alone in the evening air.
With a patient smile, and a 10 * oi
care,
And cheek that was dusk, not fair ;
She rate, but her thoughts hah wings,
That carried her sweet despair
Away to the azure plains,
Where Truth and the angels are;
She sang--but che sang in vain;
All why doth she sing againY
She mourns, like the sweet wind griev-
ing In
The pines on an autumn night;
She will fade, like the fading evening,
When Keeper is blooming bright;
And her song2--it must take its flight! |!
So pretty song
Must die ere long,
Like too, too sharp delight,
She was--like the rose in summer;
She is--like the lily frail
Yet, they'll welcome the sweet new
conner,
Below, In the regions pale
And the ghost will forget his pain,
As he roams through the dusk alone (;
And We We will mourn in vain.
