Cross hall. last evening. Rev. II. +.
Dunnack delivered an interesting adj
dress upon labor problems, during
which he contended that the school.
the home and the church demand the
family; free press. free speech, free
property rights and legal franchises
demand the citizen, and fraternity and
brotherhood demand the independence
of all classes. He thought that labor
and capital should be friends and to
bring about this happy state of affairs
the demagogue and the fanatic must
be eliminated. There must be no an
tagonisms existing between the en-
pIoyed and the emplOyer-all must
dwell together in harmony and unity.
There were many members of differ
emf trades unions in attendance. in
GLIDING both ladies and gentlemen.
After the speaking was concluded. re-
freshments were served and social

The interesting statement is made
that the timberland owners of the
northern part of the State are to go to
the Legislature this winter and ask
that the law protecting beaver shall be
repealed. In considering this matter
the argument is being used that the
beaver have increased SO rapidly that
they have become a source of great
danger to our timberlands.
IF beaver are SO destructive now"
says a recent writer in the Lewiston
journal. the question arises why
were not all of timberlands destroyed
in the past centuries. when there was
no white man here to reduce the num-
Der of beaver. and stay their ravages
Certainly our first settlers found no
such devastation among our timber
lands as the above talk from northern
lumbermen would indicate. They
found beaver everywhere i'm plenty and
they also found the timberlands in
perfect condition. Some of these facts
will be brought out during the coming
legislative discussion of the subject,
and they will certainly be read with
interest

STATE HOUSE.
Measures to Pre-
vent Spread Of Smallpox.
Maine lumbermen Asked to Aid
State Board Of Health.
Another Big Batch Of Newly Organized
Stock Companies.

DR.. A. C. Young, secretary of the
State board of health, is sending a
circular letter to all the. lumber oper-
ators i'm the Maine woods concerning
the smallpox situation, of which the
following is a copy:
Just one month ago issued circu-
lar letter calling the attention of the
lumbermen in the State to the immi-
nent danger of the introduction of
smallpox into their camps by men from
canada. Since this, in spite of the
best efforts of the State board of
health and of the few scattered local
authorities in the northern part of the
state, the fear has been justified
Smallpox has appeared in several
camps in our State north of that por-
ton of the Canadian Pacific Road be-
tween Jackman and LOwelltown, and
the camps in all, the northern mart
OF the State are threatened more or
less. Answering some of the questions
received from lumbermen and making
some suggestions, / would now saw
that this board has, for some time.
had three medical inspectors and sew
eral nurses and other assistants who
have been making a strenuous effort
to prevent the importation of more in
lection and to suppress the present
outbreak. Nevertheless, there are so
many trails across the line that we
can nave no assurance that new doses
OF infection may not come. The fol-
lowing just received from our chief
inspector DR.. Nichols, of Jackman. may
serve as an answer to some questions.
Il have just returned after having
walked about sixty-five miles i'm three
days. l have seven cases under my
care now. 1t is impossible to move
them out OF camps to Jackman. You
see they are somewhere about thirty
i've miles from there. / have taken a
nurse in to them and had a separate
camp built for the sick. They are so
scattered that it is a mighty big job
looking out for them. Only one con-
Germ has been broken up and that on
account of the company not building a
| camp as l asked them to do. These
men who escaped went to Canada. We
must not allow this to go any further.
I have been up night and day for ten
| days past. | do not know how long l
| can stand il, but l think l can rest
pretty SOOn.'
| iic tiso tudl he visited Il lutn-
| Der camp one mile across the line
| where he found ten men sick with
! smallpox, two OF whom he thought will
| not live. All the rest OF the men had
deserted and gone to their homes in
| Canada.
The State board cannot undertake to
vaccinate the men i'm all that vast
| region. That II far beyond its means.
The operators must do that or some of
| them will be sorry.
l would suggest to all lumbermen in
| the northern part of the State to build
without delay small camp in which
suspicious persons may be lodged in
| stead of taking them into the main
camp and possibly exposing the whole
| crew of smallpox Infection In case
Of any suspicious sickness the sick per-
son could be isolated there until the
| character of his disease could be de-
| termined.

There has been a curious mix-up in
the Iowa appointments as they came
before the Iowa congressional delega-
ton. Fl. g. Mcmillan was appointed
district attorney from the 18th district
but ~afterward moved.s,to Cedar Rapids
in the 9Th district. j. w. Patterson
was selected as a 5thidistrict man for
Collector. Both we're candidates for
reappointment. Congressman Cousins
chose to recommend Mcmillan and so
Patterson Was dropped. His friends
are however making a Strong fight for
him. He has made a splendid record
and the matter is being taken to the
President direct, During the past the
Cedar Rapids Republican has had the
State Oil lnspectorship, the Cedar
Rapids %postoffice, which it now has and
the at%torneyship, it would seem that
they might allow Mr.. Patterson to
hold on to his Office.

of the country. The great cities are a

Grover intimated that if William J..

all might yet be forgiven. William

Gov. A. B. Cummins has appointed
VIM. j. Scott of Ida Grove as oil inspec-
or for this district to succeed F. J..
Young of Denison. Mr.. Rogers of
Britt succeeds Charles K. Meyers of
Mason City. Although the brother of
the editor is unfavorably affected, we
wish to go on record as saying that we
do not in the least blame Mr.. Cummins
for remembering his political friends
and supporters when he has the oppor-
tupity. Bro. Chas. has made one of
the most economical inspectors the
state has had and retlres with the
knowledge of service we'll and faith
fully performed. and with no i'll feel
ing that Gov. Cummins preferred to
favor n who has strongly favored his
nomination.
