Shortage in Hay Makes Use For West
eru Straw.

Straw.
From the Topeka Journal.
Shortage of hay this season has
caused a demand for wheat straw be-
yond anything every heard of before.
Fortunately there is an abundance
of it and the farmers are bailing it
for consumption in place of grass.
Ordinarily wheat straw begs a mar
ket at 81 a ton.
The unprecedented demand for it
this summer does not allow it to lie
and rot, but brings it out to sell at So
ton. Not much is obtainable now
but the farmers are turning attention
to the housing Of it and will feed it
next winter. Prairie meadows are
now yielding less than 600 pounds to
to the acre. Alfalfa already being
fed in large quantities. While there
has been good yield, the acreage is
limited, so stock raisers must turn to
wheat straw.

In the Building Trades for the Com
ing Season.
Minneapolis, March Phillip Carlin,
the business agent says that the
coming season gives every prospect of
being most prosperous one for the
crafts represented in the Building
Trades Council. Wages are high and
work is plentiful, and there is no.
table absence of the petty differences
that usually spring up between the
unions and the contractors at the
opening of the building season. Near
ly every union has had large increase
in members during the past month,
and at the commencement of the
working year 700 more union cards
will be issued than ever before.
Mr.. Carlin received an order the first
Of last week from a wealthy mining
concern at Anaconda, Mont, for 20
bricklayers, who were wanted imme-
diately at that city to assist in the
erection of a larke smelter and other
buildings. The company offered $6
per day and transportation both ways
but stipulate that those applying
for jobs must be members of the In
ternational Bricklayers' union. Mr..
Carlin says that he expects to ship
more bricklayers from this city to
Anaconda before spring.

Few Things About the Unions of
Great Britain.
The British board OF trade has issued
report on trades unions Of the United
Kingdom, of which an abstract has
reached the state department, says
Washington correspondent. The num-
Der Of unions for which comparative
statistics Of members are given are
for the period from 1892 to 1899 Is 1896
Some Of these unions were not in ex-
lstence the whole of this period, and
the number on the list at the end Of
1899 was 1892, compared with 1918 at
the end Of 1892. The membership of all
the unions at the end Of 1899 was 1902
518, as compared with 1,5OS,232 at the
end of 1892, an increase Of 20 per cent
In the eight years. In 1899 the total
number of trade unions decreased from
1910 to 1892. This decline Of IS Is due
to amalgamation of number of the
smaller unions with larger organtza-
lions, the number Of unions 500 formed
during thhe year being the same as
the number dissolved.
Figures, in regard to income, expendl-
| ture, ETC., Of 100 only Of the principal
unions. with a membership of LII 1865,
show that their funds at the end Of the
year amounted to $15,976,640. The total

Hours of City Laborers.
Minneapolis, March 1.--There is Z
well defined movement on foot among
the members of the city council to
cut down the length of the working
day of city laborers from 10 to 8
hours. The 10 hour rule prevails in
most of the wards at present, but in
those sections of the city>where the
shorter work day is in use it is claim
ed that the amount of work done by
the men in eight hours is as great
as that done in other wards in ten
and that the work is done much bet
ter. Some of the aldermen insist that
if two hours are taken off the days
work the wages should be reduced in
proportion. Last year Aid. Powers
introduced resolution recommending
that all owrk be done under the eight
hour system. The recommendation
has not been adopted in all the wards
Aid. Powers has consulted the city
attorney and has learned that the re-
solution has not been annulled by the
recent election, but is still in force

May Have Slight Row With one of
the BOSSES.

the BOSSES.
Minneapolis, March 1.-The pain ters
and master painters held a meeting ON
Monday evening to consider the mat
ter of Il working contract for the COM
ing year, but were unable to come to
an agreement. 1t was definitely de-
cided, however, to settle all points at
issue without resorting to a strike or
lockout. Both sides are willing to
arbitrate, and would prefer to conf
promise rather than take any action
which would interfere with the sea-
sons work.
Both organizations held meetings
this week and discussed the situation,
and each appointd committee to con
fer with the other some time this
week. The committees go to the con
ference in structed, but just what the
nature of those iunstructions are has
been kept secret.
The chief argument on which the
painters base their demand for a
raise in wages from 80 to 35 cents pei
hour is that they are receiving less
compensation for their work than
the members of the craft in other cit
les of the west. In Kansas City the
scale is IS cents per hour, while at
Omaha. Denver, Colorado Springs, Sar
Francisco. and all of the Pacific
Coast towns the scale ranges from 3:
to 40 cents per hour.
In peaking of the matter Wednes-
day, A. G. cambridge, the business
agent of the union, said:
1T must be remembered that tn,
painters work only a part of the year

Minneapolis, March 1.-The friend

city had called his employees into his
office and endeavored to persuade
them to sign an agreement not strike

regard to the matter, but the wood
workers are very indignant and the
manufacturers will probably be call

, AFRICAN TREK OK.
Its Use as Transport and How Its
Work Is Done. -" -


Work Is Done. -, =:
At the present moment, when the eff
cheney of our army in South Africa
largely depends on the stability of its
transport, it may not be amiss to con-
slider the capabilities of the trek, or
transport OK, who, after ALL despite
mules and traction engines, is the
mainstay of South African transport,
says the Pail Mall Gazette. The imper-
ial authorities in Cape Colony and Ma
tai are now busily engaged in buying
all, the. available OK transports they
can, as is testified by the numerous
advertisements in the colonial papers.
Oxen are less expensive than mules.
They are slow, but sure, never going
more than three miles an hour, or,
twenty miles day, which is consider
ed a good trek. The Zulu OK is the
best bred animal, but small and un-
serviceable when compared with the
bastard Zulu and Natal OK, which
thrives on both the sour welt or coast
grass and the sweet and UP country
veldt. Oxen, however, require very
careful handling, and must on no ac-
count be overdriven; they must have
purposes. In the winter they can find
a. picking on the parched veldt where
a mule or horse would fail. They are
naturally in poor - conditino till the
green grass of the spring arrives IN
September. They are very liable 20
lung sickness and red water, and whole
spans sometimes peris from these fell
diseases. In the winter time they suf-
fer terribly from the cold, and on no
account should they be worked in rain
during the. season, for. among other
things, the yoke, when: wet, gives them
sore necks, thus rendering them use
less. The ox's best work is done at
night time, and moonlight tricks are
the usual thing with transport riders
after their teams have been grazing all
day. They, are never kept under the
yoke for more than eight hours during
the day.. two stretches of four hours
each. From 4 O'clock until 8 o clock IN
the morning and from s. o'clock until
8 o'clock at night are the favorite hours
for trekking. AS to their hauling cap.

PAVING PLAN

Does Not Meet the Approval Of the
Members Of Organized Labor.
Nj minneapolis, March 1.-The men,
bers of organized labor are unanim-
ously opposed to the proposition made
by T. Il. Walker at recent meeting
of the city council paving committee
to pave the streets around the Central
market under contract at $1.72 per
yard. They say that Mr.. Walkers
proposition is an attempt instigat ted
by paving contractors to break up the
present system under which the city
engineer is permitted to employ day
labor in laying all the city paving. The
day labor system has ben in use in
Minneapolis for some time, and, it is
claimed, is Unsatisfactory.

SIDE SHOTS.

A short time ago a Duluth plumber
while doing a, job in a Bowery saloon
had the misfortune to spill his nuriatic
acid, used for soldering purposes. Not
wishing to take time to go to the shop
for more he began looking about tie
saloon for something that would an
sWer the purpose. After little search
ne found an unlabelled bottle that
smelled very much like the acid, and
which by trial proved to be as good
for soldering as the spilled fluid. A be-
Whlskered lumberman came in and
asked for some good whisky" and
the horror Of the plumber can be imag-
med when he saw the bartender hand
up the bottle which contained the sub
stltute for the acid. The customer fill
ca MS glass to the bri1n, surrounded
the contents, and as he put the glass
down, together with a dime, he re-
marked This is the only place in the
