A man who had seen N. c. Michaels,
alias Jerry Mcdonald, the man, who
was so roughly handled by an Albu.
querque mob, claims to have met him
In Las Vegas this morning. It Is said
he will remain here until wanted for
the trial Of the alleged mob leaders
under bond for their appearance be-
fore the next grand Jury. The papers
in Albuquerque announced that MI
chaels had gone to work for the cleo
trio company down there. It is ex'
tremeiy doubtful II the man Cd
tain work here, a. when In the city BE-
fore, he was unable. to show any union
card. OF course. a. this city Is law
abiding, the man IL perfectly safe
here. II turns out that the men who
led the riot are not shopmen. One u
a printer, another q painter. none be
longs to the regular shop force.

Promoter Of Enterprise Returns to St.
Louis Leaving The Matter in the
Hands Of Local Men.

The work OF securing subscriptions
for the $50, 1000 worth OF bonds for the
new loop extension Of the Las Vegas
& Hot Springs electric railway has
progressed SO far that with what Is
actually on paper and what Is prac-
tically "in sight" the building Of the
proposed extension seems to be very
nearly assured.
oreon 4. Scott Of ST. Louis, the
energetic promoter Of the enterprise
who has been pushing the work Of sc.
curing the subscriptions in company
with local business men, has been
compelled to return to his business
leaving the subscription to be closed
up by friends Of the enterprise in Las
Vegas.
The men who have undertaken to do
this inform The Optic that they hope
to get the work finished up this week,
the necessary amount yet to be sub
scribed for being less than $4,000. II
all parties who are interested In the
success Of this project, which meanf
more to our city than anything which
has been projected In the last twenty
years, will do their utmost and aid n
securing this additional amount u
can be raised in a few hours and u
sixty days the dirt will be flying o.
the new route. When the entire
amount has been subscribed the st
Louis men who are behind the enter
prise will be notified by wire and
they will proceed at once to let thu
contract for the work.
Let us not hold back the work a da'
at this end.

A prominent west side merchant
said this morning that his business
for the present month had been fully
twice as great as for the correspond
Ing time last year. He had Just pur-
chased a large amount Of wool from
the Rock Island country and vas feel
ing cofrespondingly good. Animal.
verting on the effect Of the building
Of the Rock Island upon Las Vegas,
he said that as far as the trade in
wool, hides and pelts was concerned,
he couldn't see that the city had lost
anything. As great a volume Of these
important commodities came to this
city as ever In her history. This
view is held by other wool buyers Of
the city.

look on the caI.inas.

photographer A. P. Davis, who is
chief engineer for the United States
government in the important work OF
retaining the arid west is well
pleased with the condition along the
.Gallinas for a big reservoir.
This morning. accompanied by DIR.
J. NJ. Cunningham, Messrs. Chas.
Spiess and d. c. Winters, Mr.. Davis
drove to the Sapello country. AS the
party had not returned at the time
Of going to press, 1t is impossible TO
say what the engineers view may be
with regard to that part Of the pro.
posed reservoir system.
OF curse Mr.. Davis has nothing 70
say regarding his recommendation 70
the government. But that he consid-
ers the proposed enterprise a feast
BILE one, he does not conceal. The op'
portunity for the iiverting Of the Gal
linas to the big natural basin sur
rounded by hills is admirable. Those
who are familiar with the 6apello
valley are confident that the
oficial will be even more favorabl,
impressed with the conditions in that
section.
Mr.. Davis roughly estimates that
a system such as would bring under II
rigation $4,000 acres Of land will cos'
the government the tidy little sum O
100000. While nothing has yet beer
assured, citizens Of Las Vegas have .
right to feel extremely optimistic ovel
the prospect Of securing . big govern
ment enterprise.

SMALL WORK KEEPS UP
Total Value of August Building Per-
mits Does Not Make a
Bad Showing.

A total investment of S546,S95 is rep
resented in the building permits taken
out in Minneapolis during August. While
this figure compares favorably with the
same month Of last year and the year
before, an examination Of the various per-
mits shows plainly enough that the
troubles in the local labor field are having
their effect on the building situation.
In May the total investment called for
by the building permits was $601,9S0, in
June, $671, 400, in July, s518,o20 and in
August S546, 1915. During August, 1902,
the building permits represented an az
gregate investment Of $766,872 and for
the same month in 1901, s386,704, so this
month, just closed averages well with
other Augusts.
In fact July Of this year shows a great
or falling of as compared to the same
month of the year preceding. The total
for July, 1902, was $sO0,16O, as compared
with the $4,000 Of the present year.
1t Is only in the increase In the number
and decrease in the size Of the permits
taken out that the effect Of the labor
troubles, which began with the building
laborers' strike Aug. 6, can be discov-
cred. There is a marked tendency among
the larger contractors to delay entering
upon any large building operations unit
they know what the laboring men In
tend to do. In the meantime the small
contractors who have signed the unlor
scale, and the men who are building the1l
own modest homes are uniting to keeI
up the average Of building investment.

Ferns song, I'm Jonah" the Nursery

Chick Howard Claims He Is Perse'
cuted NV Shoemakers.

Chick Howard, held in Jail on the charge
of grand larceny, claims that he Is the
object of the shoemakers unions animos-
ity, and that all his troubles are attrib-
utable to this cause He states that be-
cause he has steadily refused to join the
union, the labor forces have been relent-
lessly pursuing him, have driven him out
Of the east, and are now attempting to
disgrace him and ruin his chances for life.
Howard Is said to be one of the most ex-
pert shoe cutters in the United States,
and his case should furnish some very
interesting developments.
The prisoner, who was arrested at AL
ton, Ohio, was arraigned in the police
court this morning and his hearing con-
tinued to next Tuesday. The charge
against him Is that Of stealing $50 In
money and a valuable diamond ring from

THE CALL FOR MEN
7. M. G. A. Employment Bureau
SUPPLYING the Demand.

The employment bureau of the Young
Mems Christian association, which has
been organized this fall promises to We
one OF the most successful features OF
the association. During the past month
many calls have been received for men
and boys. which in most cases were
promptly furnished to the satisfaction of
the employers. The calls were much more
numerous than the employment secretary
had anticipated, several business houses
calling for six or more men at one time.
Beginning to-day, the facilities for the
proper handling Of the work are increased
and even better results than in the past
are looked for. The association Is using
every effort by careful and confidential
investigation Of applicants, to give the
best service possible. By this means the
association hopes to put many Of it's eve
ming school students In better position
during the coming year.
