Many are the goings~ and comings in
the house. There came Sultety, the lead

prominent lawyers; and best of all, his
old mother had just returned from visit
to her son who is a <Darson in Slovak
community in Croati a Though Is years
old she looks as if she might outlive her
sons, being livelier than child. She said
she did not wish to stay in the village in
Croatia, as the cemetery there looked too
empty and uncomfortable. Nor is Mrs.
Hurban Vajansky less Interesting. She
takes vivid interest in all the affairs
Of her husband and nation, and is a most
| charming hostess. "
Hurban Vajansky is Magyar hater and
Panslavist He belongs to that older
generation Of men, like AksaNov. in Rus
! STA, who believed in the existence, of a
Slavic idea. What that idea is, neither
he nor his friends could we'll define, but
! it finds expression in a general hatred of
everything German, Jewish, Magyar.
There is growing up a young Slovakia
which, like young Bohemia under the
guidance of Professor MasaryE, is more
reasonable in it's aspirations, and seeks a
Slavic nationality in self-improvement
according to western ideas. Apart from
these Panslavist tendencies, which are
alternating the younger generations from
him, Huban Vajansky is. broad-minded
and thorough. He has not that uncondi-
tional admiration for Tolstoy that some
of his countrymen and others profess to
have, for he regards his teachings as con-
Trajectory and academic" while his
Resurrection" is "youthful' error
Nor does he speak of Sienliewicz with
unconditional praise. He has no use for
the heaping up of bloody incidents in
which the Polish author revels.
Some years ago the American Slovahs
invited Hurban Vajansky to cross the
ocean and lecture to them. Unfortunately
he could not accept their invitation, for
fear OF offending the Catholics at home.
Soon after he passed three months in
Magyar prison for a supposed demonstra
tion in favor of a Slovak editor who had
just returned from years incarceration.
When he left his cell, in which he wrote
a long novel; now printing, he found the
American Slovaks had deposited 1000
fiorins for him in the bank. 1t is quite
possible that he will come to America, at
least he would occept such an invitation
from his American scountrymen.
After leaving Scent Marion, I went to
Sillein (Zsolna, in Magyar to- see the
famous Tolstoy, DR.. Makovicky. He has
translated many Of his authors works into
Slovak, possesses very large Tolstoy al
bum and correspondence With the master,
and lives up to his principles. Here in
Sillein there also lived a lawyer, Lom-
bardini, who was a great bibliophile, and
who owned the most complete Slovak
library. After his death, four years, ago,
his books found their way to bookseller
in Pressburg, where they were never
unpacked. They are now on their way to
the Harvard Library.

Another evidence of the growth Of
the movement in this country is
the large number Of fraternal
organizations and the enormous
total of membership they repre-
sent. The labor unions them
selves alone represent member

these organizations have derived
some benefit from cooperation and
the day will surely come wher they
will all unite for the common

Capital pools it's forces and
forms what we call trusts. By so
doing wealth gives the toiler an
object lesson in the economic
handling of his resources. This
lesson will not be lost, and no
better means of fighting the trusts
can be exploited than the use of
their own weapons against them.
The president has said that the
trust question can not be settled
abruptly, but is matter Of grave
consideration. Mr.. Roosevelt is
right. Cooperation will eventu-

The Cruise Of Umatina.

The Peshastin is one of the
many western rivers fed by noun
tain streams which wash down
from the hills great quantities of
gold. considerable Of which is
carried to the rivers where it
lodges among the sand and gravel
at the sides and bottom of the
stream, awaiting the advent of the
placer miner.
White miners had long ago de-
serted the Peshastin, as color was
scarce and the fields across the
hills in British Columbia seemed
more promising, and placer min
ing was but a temporary shift
for these old-timers. They were
looking for quartz. Thus it hap
pened that for several years the
banks of the Peshastin were
worked by half a hundred China
men, and the only white miners
who strayed that way soon passed
on. t
The increasing number OF money
orders which these Cinnamon pur-
chased at the nearest,express Office
to send to San Francisco, all paid
for in gold dust, caused some COM

society called the Rockdale Soci-
ETY. of Equitable Pioneers. This
organization, from SO small a
beginning, has grown into rec
ognized force in the economic
conditions of England. At first
the members paid twelve pence a
week from their earnings into the
common fund. The fund amount
ed to but Ell at the close of the
first year and no profits were re-
allied. The second year the men,
bership increased to "a and G22
were realized as profits; q per

ETY. had 1892 individuals working
under it's banner. 1t transacted
business to the value of G3O5, 900
and it's profits were 95O,5OO, over
one-quarter of a million dollars.
One authority states that the
cooperative volume of business in
England in 1901 was over $780,
100000. "They own and control
the two largest Wholesale houses
in the world, about 5000 retail
stores and a large number of
factories, also eight ocean steam

goods in the world" Such an
enormous increase in wealth and

fury in one country alone COM
pels us to assert that the only
consistent conclusion is universal
cooperation of all the people for
the benefit of all the people.
Cooperation has taken firm
root on the continent of Europe
and its converts number many
thousands. In Switzerland there
are 3,400 cooperative societies.
We might say the entire indus
tries of the country are run upon
the cooperative plan, for there
are only 100000 inhabitants and
one in every six is a member of a
cooperative society.
Co-operators in Denmark con-
troll the butter, egg and bacon
markets, and number over 160, 900
members. In Germany the CO.
operative movement is very strong,
in spite of the fact that every
liberal tendency of the populace is
tabooed by soldier worshipping
war lord of ruler.
In America the cooperative
movement, which was at first taken
up as fad by an eastern mutual
admiration society of literary
cyclists, has grown into move
ment of much force. The gener-
al prosperity of the working class
has had tendency to retsrd the
growth of cooperative societies in
the United States. But now that
the resources of the country are SO
fully developed, the people feel
the need OF some other aid than
competition to help them realize
their full share in the product of
their labor. In Maine the COOP
erative stores realized at the close
of the first six months profit
of nearly 81 500. The co-operators
of that state have recently pur-
chased the largest supply store.

naO It's origin 80 1dI
~ back that it's beginning
is lost in the traditions of early
history. The crude efforts of
primitive man at self-government
were necessarily cooperative. but
after little advancement the law
of natural selection gave the rule
to the strong, and arbitrary meth
DDS usurped the place of co-opera-
ton in economic conditions. Prim-
tive men for self-defense in times
of war were forced to cooperate
for mutual protection, but as soon
as the danger of determination
was over, arbitrary rule forced
itself to the front and all united
effort toward advancement was
made subservient to the will of the
strong.
Thus we find that all efforts at
cooperation in the early ages
we're the united forces of a crude
state of existence allied against a
common enemy for mutual pro-
lection of life and property. The
barbaric age has left to us an en-
during monument as evidence OF
the fact that all efforts in that
age at cooperation were inspired
by self protection against COM
mon enemy. The wan built by
the ancient Tartars for protection
against invaders must have been
constructed under some system of
cooperation. The wall encircling
the ancient boundaries Of China
could not have been built by ar
bitrary rulers. The magnitude of
the task as we'll as the purpose
for which the work was to serve
not only made cooperation neces-
sary, but also gave to the work a
national character in which every
inhabitant of the country was in
terested. This ancient wall of
China stands today an object les
son to us moderns of what the
united force of cooperative effort
can accomplish.
The Pyramids Of Egypt, altho
representing the work of many
hands, were not built by co-opera-
ton. They represent the colossal
vanity of the ancient Egyptian
kings and were designed to per-
petuate their memory and preserve
their useless bones for an admir-
ing posterity to reverence. The
Pyramids were neither necessary
nor useful and & populace how
ever ignorant never volunteered in
works of a national character un-
less there was some hope reward.
The middle ages give us no
evidence Of any cooperative move
. ments among the people, unless it
be the Crusades. Religious faith
inspired the Crusades and in them
we. find men cooperating not for
protection against common
enemy. unless we consider the
case of the Turks, but in hope of
receiving some future reward.
There is no trace of cooperation
for social advancement left us
from the middle ages. 1t is true
small communities derived some
benefit by working together, but
I speak of mankind in general in
that age.
We might date the history OF
modern cooperation from the
French Revolution. Some writer's
say that out of that chaos and
pandemonium came the germ Of
universal cooperation. Be that
as it may, the cooperative move
ment certainly began to- make
itself apparent in economic condi-
tions soon after the storm subsidized
in France. The movement first
became noticeable in England in

informed us that he proposed to
transport the machinery to the
Peshastin and there set it up, the
task was deemed impossible, but
the way those fasteners overcame
obstacles in the shape of lack of
roads, mountain passes and heavy
grades made us open our eyes in
Ideed. In less than six weeks the
steamer was afoat on the Peshas-
tin and rechristened the Umatilla.
| Originally pleasure steamer on
some eastern river, she had been
transported hundreds of miles
across the continent to turbulent
western stream to serve a unique
purpose, for before this who had
fever dreamed of mining gold from
the deck of steamboat? Yet
this was the mission Of the
Umatilla in western waters. Fitted
with dredging apparatus, she was
to prove or disprove the theory of
Captain Scott, who argued that if
a score of s'di ty, dope-eating
heather" could make good money
washing gold from the sands of
the Peshastin, there was no reason
why he, Captain Scott, could not
make thousands for himself and
incidentally for the stockholders
of the Umatilla Dredging apd
Mining Co. by means of modern
and improved methods. On the
deck of the Umatilla there rested
a mysterious apparatus, by means
of which he asserted he could
pick up sand and gravel from the
bottom of the river and run it
through sluice boxes and an ANAL
gamater on board at the rate of
twenty tons per day, (which was
more than the heather on the
banks could handle in a year."
The scheme worked out to per-
fection-on paper-and the cap
tain had no difficulty in obtaining
the necessary funds to equip the
Umatilla. The hackers of the en-
terprise had sent the physician
and the brewers son along to help
bring home the money.
A crew was employed, and as

of a nonpaying guest. Steam was
up and we started off, the whistle
not drowning the cheers of our
friends on the bank. Everything
worked smoothly; the dredge
made our progress slow, but did
it's work we'll and delivered in
strict accordance with contract
twenty tons of raw material each
day in the shape of sand and
gravel. But we never did dis
cover what it did with the gold;
81 10 was the result of the first
days work. Cap. looked disap-
pointed, but finally took it as
good omen; said that once, when
in the theatrical business in the
east, his company played to ex-
actly the same amount one night
and for weeks after the S. R. 0.
sign was in daily evidence. But
the, next days result was no bet
ter, and we steamed up the river
few miles and put in several days
more with the same luck. Cap.
was not easily discouraged and
one days work that Melted over
500 kept his courage up for
weeks.
AS a financial proposition the
dredger was failure, altho we
worked for three months. Soci-
ally the expedition was great
success. The climate in that
region is delightful, the company
was congenial and Cap. was too
good fellow to neglect the larder.
