Arctic Coal,

The Norwegians are turning their
attention to the large and promising
coal fields on the southwest coast of
spitzbargen. For several years past
their fishermen, while in these coastal
waters, have observed the outcrops of
coal. Their stories aroused interest
at home and the coal fields were ex.
amined as q possible source of profit.
Several companies have been formed
to carry on coal mining in these new
fields and there is much confidence in
Norway that the new Arctic ENTERPRISE
will be profitable.

JUST why the innocent purchaser Of

when everybody knows the purchaser
was not nearly so ''innocent' as he

enough to get my vote for President.

Mrs. Love united with the Mission
airy Baptist church in 1876, and lived
a Christian life during the remainder
of her stay upon earth, surrounding
the difficulties v 'ch enveloped her
widowed life, caring for and rearing
up her fatherless children, leading
them onward to a higher life, and
lived to receive part Of her reward in
the satisfaction and peace she enjoyed
in seeing her children all living up
right, noble, Christian lives. Only q
mother, left to struggle alone with a
large family to support, knows what
she encountered in her efforts to care
for her family. Her neighbors all
testify to her many good qualities and
her children rise up and call her
blessed.
The death angel came suddenly at
midnight and found her calmly await
ing the summons, ''Come ye blessed of
my Father" Her remains were laid
to rest in the cemetery at Edge Hill,
beside her husband and children, to
await the resurrection morning. The
funeral services were conducted by DR..
Adams and Rev. Brooks. The beau
tiful psalm, "The Lord is My Shep-
herd" DR.. Loves favorite, was read
as it had been at his funeral. A very
large concourse of friends gathered to
pay their last respects to one who in
life had been 'faithful unto death"

OUR VISITORS.

During the week Occur d'Alene
had within her gates a large number
of visitors from every part of the
state. Our guests came with some
doubts about our ability to furnish
the necessary accommodations for
housing and feeding so large crowd.
They went away singing praises for
Occur d'Alene and her hospitable
citizens. Within three hours after
the arrival of the train Monday morn
ing with its 400 visitors, every one
had been comfortably housed either
at the hotels or in private homes.
The arrangements were perfect and
all committees did their part we'll.
There was no disposition in any
quarter to raise prices, and with but
half dozen exceptions where visitors
were charged two dollars a night for
rooms, prices remained unchanged.
The few who were overcharged will
naturally feel aggrievsd but do not
hold the citizens responsible for the
greed Of the individual. On the
other hand, q very large number Of
citizens threw their doors open to
the visitors without price. The ex-
cursion on the steamer Idaho was
rare treat to many and a. one Of the
prominent delegates to the grand
lodge remarked, ''the visit TO Occur a.
Alene of people from all parts of
the state and the unusually liberal
hospitality shown is worth thousands
of dollars to the town" Praise was
heard from all and the visit has
established Occur d'Alsne's hospital
ity as second to none.

The Idaho State Eagle defines the
relations of labor unions to socialism
in the following: There is q vast
difference between socialism and the
labor union movement, and strange
to say some Of the officers and
members Of trade and labor organ
izatiOns do not recognize the differen-
ce between the conflicting principles.
Some even contend that a working
man cannot be a consistent member
of labor organization except he is
also a socialist. Bat the two are
antagonizing propositions and con-
1icting organizations. There is not
q leading socialist in America today
who is not an open and public
opponent to trade unions. Trade
unions demand certain reforms under
the present system of government
Socialists demand the destruction of
all organizations and societies and
the substitution Of q cooperative
commonwealth with collective owner
ship. Those who are officers or
members Of the trade and labor move
ment and who are socialists, should
withdraw from labor unions and
prove themselves honest advocates Of
the cause they pretend to represent.
The socialist leaders identify them
selves with labor unions for the sole
purpose of an opportunity to proselyte
among the working people for a
mem bership from an-oppoisng organ
izati on. The labor movement de-
mands the broadcast liberty and the
best conditions possible for labor.
The socialists demand that all work
ing people shall be arbitrarily con-
dem ned and consigned to whatever
position and under whatever con-
ditions the socialist committee may
choose to declare. Their PROPOSE
lions are inhuman and unAmerican. "
