LONDON, Feb 20.-The most re-

A registration book for immigrants
has been opened at the chamber of
commerce and will be continued I'm
til the homeseekers' rates expire.
The object of the book is to record
all arrivals as they come in, SO that
those who have arrived late may look
over the names of the preceding ones
and perhaps run across an acquaint-
ance
The chamber of commerce will
also appoint a committee to meet all
trains containing homeseekers and
will place placards in conspicuous
places directing anyone to the rooms
of the chamber, where all information
regarding lands may be obtained and
in that way keep them out of the
hands of the "grafters."
Six names were registered this
morning. and Secretary Monroe states
that in a few days a page of names
will be recorded. The book will also
show from where the tide of immi-
grafton is flowing.

HOGS HELD SWAY
IN KENNAN'S COURT

Little pigs with fuzzy bristles, fat
porkers with a basso grunt and hogs
of every description figure in the suit
of Sam Green against William Cra-
mer being heard today before Judge
KEENAN, and jury.
Three members of the porcene fam
lily owned by Green strayed away and
were gathered in by Cramer, accord
ing to Green's statement.
Cramer is just as positive that he
never came into possession Of Green's
squealers.
Meanwhile Judge KEENAN, and the
jurors are receiving liberal educa-
ton in the breeding, feeding and rails
ing of hogs. Long extracts from en-
cyclopedias are being read by attor-
neys, experts who know all about
hogs are testifying and the costs are
rapidly piling up.

Rich and Wants a Wife.

Mr.. Irving Bartlett is worth half
a million and wants wife. But Mr..
Bartlett is eccentric in one way. He
is firm believer in palmistry and
says the woman he marres must
have palm corresponding to his
ideal of good, loving wife. So he
has commissioned McIvy Travis, the
celebrated palmist, now stopping at
the Rainier-Grand, to watch for the
lady's hand corresponding to his ideal.
Professor Travis says he is in hopes
of finding Mr., Bartlett wife upon
whom he can bestow a palace and
riches, and may do so in Spokane. 1t
Is rather odd within of MIR. Bartlett,
who is good-looking as well as enor-
mously rich.

From assertions made by acquaint-

appearance of a business transaction
on the part of both man and wife.
Before uttereing the words which
would make her a wife Edith Burnett

Langley is considered a hard propo-

the week, in speaking of Langley's
ability. says: Vic Langley isn't as
slow as some people think. He is a
fast fighter and the recent match
with Overdorf showed him to be a
regular Indian for punishment and
for getting into the game. He slug

Local Labor Notes.

The Mattresses alliance is making
preparations for ball to be given
some time in April. This union now
boasts a membership of 81. although
in existence only a few months.
The trades council voted at it's
last meeting to eliminate that part
of the new constitution and bylaws
which makes it obligatory on all
bodies DESTROYS of being represented
in the council to affiliate with the
American Federation of Labor.
In his third annual report State
Labor Commissioner William Black
man states that about half of the
unions in Spokane did not fill out the
blanks enclosed to them. On this &C.
count unionism in Spokane does not
make the showing to which it is
entitled The report mentions the
following Spokane unions as having
made the greatest increase in wages

the preacher. The woman, well built
and fair haired, kept her eyes toward
the floor the greater part of the time,
but once in a while she would glance
around and smoker.
Toy made only one break. When
the words asking him if he was will
ing to marry were uttered. Toy at
once said, Yes, ma am" but when the
end of the sentence was reached he
corrected himself. The bride said II
Will without culver.
After the ceremony Toy produced
a ring. Recourse was had to the
book again. The bride stretched out
her hand, but the Chinese, not being
able to repeat the worcs required of
a groom at this juncture, contented
himself with silently slipping the ring
on the finger.
After waiting few minutes the
couple took their departure, bearing
with them the marriage license and
preachers certificate. At no time did
they show any sign Of affection for
each other.

A lengthy communication has been
received at the headquarters of the
American Labor union from II. l..
Hughes, organizer for Spokane. The
letter is written from Lynn, Mass,
where Mr. Hughes is spending a few
weeks in the interest of the American
Labor union.
During my trip so far" writes Mr..
Hughes, Il found the condition of the
American Labor union in Cincinnati
In a very fourishing condition. The
Cincinnati Union Of Steam Engineers,
No. 276, I found to De an organiza-
ton of progressive workmen, bravely
battling for true union principles. The
members of this body are interesting
themselves in organizing other unions
in that city under the American La
Dor union.
Il am grieved to state that here in
Lynn the members of the United Boot
and Shoe Workers union are filling
the places of Independent labor union
strikers with imported strike break
ers to whom they guarantee wages
out of their own treasury and take
into the union The Independent
unions are good, progressive organ
fzations, battling for the true princi-
pies, and deserve support from all
true labor bodies. Yet the boot and
shoe workers have taken up the fight
against them.
This will be startling revelation

held to the time-honored opinion that
