BOGUS UNION CARDS

this morning regarding the practice
o.; alleged tramp working men carry.
ing union cards. says the FL Paso
News.
he SAYS that II Is a scheme now be-

lie says that he has conclusive
proof OF this in the case OF the two
men who were arrested yesterday AZ

The man Roberts. who Is thought TO

tn great shape. The letter said: I'VE
will meet on III Paso street and
will have a new card to present 1t is
better than yours and ! think II will

This shows that the working cards
are frauds and that the tramps get
them in some way so as to delude the
police and give the impression that
the holders are genuine working men.

STRIKE MANIA REACTION.
Railroad Review Says Wage Limit
Has Decn Reached

Has Becn Reached.
The strike mania which has been
so much in evidence during the past
two or three years now promises to
leel the effect of a reaction. and con-
seryatiye leaders are advising against
such a proceeding in cases where a
year ago ii would have been APPROX
ed, says the Railway Review. The
latest move is by some OF the eastern
locomotive engineers who desire to
be put on corresponding basis of
wages as those vi the extreme south
west, where the duties are much
more severe anu .ihe cost OF living
greater. Their officers, however, are
calling n halt. they realize that the
time has come when, II an advance
in wages is insisted upon, the rail-
ways Will simply reduce their force.
The signs OF the tunes are too appar'
ent to be overlooked. 1t is understood
that on some eastern roads orders
nave already gone out Tor the dis
charge OF quite a large number OF
men, simply with the object OF cur.
failing expenses, which is found nee
essary under present conditions. III
all labor leaders snail be equally
wise and forestal any attempt to
further press ADVANCE in wages II
may be possible that a staena,ion OF
Industrial operation. which seems to
promise, will be avoided. Certain 1t
is that any further agitation in this
line must inevitably result in harm to
the worklngmen. 1t is only because

Paul Morton. vice president of the

Much of the intellectual strength

Morton. intend converting large
par. OF the estate into an arboritum.
where the public is free to come and
study forestry. Already there are
about 100000 trees and shrubs grow
ing on the place. ard 5000 WEE
planted this year My father, as is
well known. was passionately devot-
ed to timber culture. and this dispo-
sition OF his home seems appropriate.
The setting apart OF day for tree
planting, Arbor day. as II has come to
be called, originated with him.
"Arbor Lodge. by the way. never

asmuch as he bought ii OF the gov

built has first house upon the land
in 1855, and 1t was at that time the
only frame dwelling between that sec
ton and the Rocky mountains. Nor
was there a railroad within 900 miles
of It,
ASKED as to railway conditions In
the west, Mr.. Morton replied that
they were very satisfactory, ana mat
the Santa Fe was getting It's share OF
the business. A good wheat crop In
Kansas, a fair crop in Texas, anu a
good orange crop In California were
a guaranty OF prosperous times In the
big states, and his belief was that
1905 would see a continuation OF the
present good times.
