STRANGE was handed in with seventy
eight signatures. A large delegation
appeared in opposition to the change

these. j. 81. Dumbeck repre- sented
that the change would leave him a
long distance from the road. The
town board of Beauford is opposed to
the change because The town has spent
81, 800 to put the old road where it is,
while it would cost g. 600 to properly
construct the new road. If the county
would pay this, the town board would
not object SO hard.
The matter of the improvement Of
the Pohl road also came up.
The board will adjourn tomorrow
forenoon.

LONDON, Nov. 22.-There is fear
in government quarters that the
present Irish agitation will take a
more violent turn. Heretofore there
has not been much else but rhetoric
from the Irish side, but for this
several Irish members of parlia-
ment have been imprisoned with
hard labor, and this may bring mat
tiers to a crisis.
Recent orders from Dublin castle
have called for the strict enforce
ment of the gun license law, and the
laws regulating the importation OF
arms and ammunition into Ireland.
No person in Ireland is allowed to
have a gun for any purpose without
taking out a license, and the au-
thOritieS take pains that licenses
are only given to those whom they
believe can be trusted. Lists OF
those holding licenses are promi-
nently displayed in each country
postoffice. The shortness of these
lists indicates the almost entirely
unarmed condition of the people.
Importation of arms is absolutely
forbidden except at Dublin, Cork
and one or two of the larger ports
where it can be closely watched.
Dublin castle is not going to have
an uprising on it's hands if it can
prevent it.
Officials of the United Irish league
say that any idea of an uprising is
absurd and that the government is
suffering from nightmare.
They say that terrorizing tactics
would lead at once to the prescrip-
tion of the league and a police rule
that would prevent even peaceful
agitation.
BOycotting. and not crime, is at
the bottom of the present trouble.
William O'Brien, head of the
league, calls it exclusive dealing. "
George Wynham says it is plain
boycotting, and illegal.
The objects of the boycott is to
| induce their landlords to sell their
land to their tenants. The local
chapter of the league meets and de-
cides that the landlord ought to sell
out. The tradesmen in the town re-
fuse either to buy from him or to
sell him anything, and in all re-
spects he is ostracized. He has to
send long distances to get the sim
plest things for his house and fam
lily. Sometimes he gets tired and
sells, and sometimes he shows fight
and appeals to Dublin castle.
The Exclusive dealing methods
of the league are seen in another
way. Under the recent act of par.
lament, Irish towns and cities elect
their own councils and within GER

Arkansas to Have Two
More Lines.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Nov. o.
In addition to the several railroad
lines and extensions now building
Arkansas is to have two new rail
roads, according to an authoritative
announcement just made. One is
to extend from Newport, the seat
of Jackson county, to Craighead
the seat OF Randolph county, dis
lance of IS miles, and the other is
to go from Newport to Jonesbor-
ough, the seat of Craighcad county.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1902-11-22

tain limits have home rule. These
councils, as a rule, are composed
entirely of members of the United
Irish league, and in giving out con.
tracts they favor members of the
league over outsiders, even though
the outside bids may be lower. 1t
is, in fact, a sort of Tammany sys-
tenn in Ireland. Members of the
councils claim that the people sup
port them in exclusive dealing of
this kind, and because of the pres
ent situation in Ireland public opin-
ion would not permit their giving
contracts to those who were re-
garded as enemies of their country.
Wyndham regards this matter diff
ferently and calls it corruption.
What finally led to the present
application of the crimes act, which
in effect is martial law, doing away
with liberty of speech and of the
press, was the effort to get all Irish
men into the league. League organ
izers became very active and the
league newspapers began to publish
lists of those who were not men,
berS. The Dublin castle people
claim that shopkeepers and others,
whose names appeared in the lists
of non-members were boycotted by
the league. In counties now under
the crimes act, publication of such
lists is now forbidden. Speeches
on the land question are also for
hidden on the ground that they are
intended to intimidate the land
lords.
1t was for making speeches in
the proclaimed districts that a
dozen Irish members of parliament
were sent to jail, some of them
with hard labor, and Irish indigna-
ton was tremendous. One Irish
member of parliament now in Jail
has been assigned to work in tho
prison washhouse and launders the
undergarments of the female pris-
oners. One reason for adding la
! Dor to the sentence is that it de-
prives the prisoners of political
rights for five years after their re-
! lease
William O'Brien declares that
they will never be frightened by
these sentences Of hard labor. He
says, however, they will risk their
lives in resisting such prison treat
ment.
T. w. Russell, leading unionist
member from Ulster, says the only
way out of the difficulty is COM
pulsory land purchase act. Then
there would be no excuse for boy
cotting, and without boycOtting the
government would have no pre-
tence for it's proclamations and i'm
prisOnments under the crimes act.

Andrew Hackett, who has just

claims in British Columbia for Spo-

the strike which has just been de-
clared off at Ferpie and Michel was
caused through the granting by the
Crows Nest Pass Coal company of
contracts on which cheap labor
would be employed.
1t is now being arranged to form
one union of the men in the three
camps of Morrissey, Michel and
Fernie. The Crows Nest company
is operating mines in each of these
towns, but the miners hitherto have
been split up into three unions.
