BUTTE men AT
White HOUSE
Are Entertained by the President at
Luncheon.
JOLLY TIME SPINNING YARNS
Presidents Position Concernnq La
Dor Organizations Has Been Known
Throughout Administration-He Is
President Of the Whole People Re-
gardIess Of Labor Unions.

Washington, Nov 24--The Butte
labor delegates were entertained to-
day by the president at luncheon
There was scarcely bit of formal
lty to the affair and from the mo-
ment the visitors took their seats,
until the cigars We're passed the pres
ldent made the boys feel absolutely
at home. In his quick. nervous way
he told stories of his life in the
West and OF his hunting trips and
campaigns in Montana. He also
spoke OF the warm regard he had for
the state and it's people and partic-
ularly for those who did so much to
welcome him on his last visit.
After the first pardonable moment
of strangeness wore Off, Mr.. Gillis
and the rest of the boys were spin
ming yarns and contributing to the
conversation with as much abandon
as if it were an every day occur
renee to put their feet under the
White House mahogany.
During the discussion of the menu
the story of Mayor Mullins famous
Santiago Hill" speech was told by
one of the Butte guests, much to the
amusement of the presidents east
ern guests. but MI Roosevelt quick
ly and tactfully changed the subject.
The delegation left for New York
tonight and from there will go to
Montana. The visitors are warm in
their praise of the president and
their cordial reception here. They
ha"n with Congressman Dixon's
aid seen everything there is to see
he~e.

ting divorce or being cut off with
out a dollar. The young man didn't
relish poverty. so he agreed to a di-

nnkes Valley Items.

The past week has been favorable foI
those who are clearing land and cutting
wood, and other out door work. Friday
morning some snow fell, but not enough
to prevent working. Sunday it rained
and showed nearly all day, the snow
melting nearly as fast as II fell.
Mr.. Knox, our blacksmith, is kept busy
making grubbing machines and repair
ing broken'farm implements, etc.
|: AT. Dodge expects to 60 down on
the Jones ranch to go to grubbing next
week if the weather is favorable. He
would like to buy good second hand
machine.
VIM. Dodson had the misfortune ia
lose one of his COWS that he took to
Sherman county in the fall 1t was not
learned what caused her death.
A terrible roaring was heard last week
up on the side hill west of the valley
and people began to look toward Mount
Hood thinking perhaps that old Hood
was in eruption, but when they came
to investigate, they learned that it was
nothing but j. @. Carnahan tearing out
willow grubs with his brubbing ma
chine. 1t is a question whether the noise
proceeded from the machine or the man;
be that as it may, he is making the
grubs fly just the same.
There is. some talk of saw.mill being
put in here in the lower part of the
valley. There is plenty of saw timber
in the lower end Of the valley to keep
a mill running for some times and they
could sell good share Of their product
right here in the valley, and then it
would benefit the laborers OF the valley
by giving them work at home when now
they have to go away from home to get
work. BILLY.

Chaan Fire.

A scheme to heat room for one
dollar a year is the latest feat in the
evolution of calorics. This revolution
in the fuel situation is the fruits OF the
research and experiments OF Col. Will
liam Heckert, scientist and inventor Of
Toledo, Ohio.
II Col. Heckert's claims prove true,
he will not only heat a room in win
ter, but keep it cool in summer, and
this for one dollar year. The new in
vention will also generate power and do
away with all present theories OF locomo-
ton. 1t can also be used for refrigerat-
ing purposes and storage battery to
produce electric lights. Crude oil is the
only fuel used. Applied to street cars,
it will do away with all power barns
and trolly wires. The new power will
not only propel vessels, but light and
heat them as we'll.
Its scientific principle is to utilize
nine-tenths of the power, instead Of but
one-tenth as now. Professor Kent, the
greatest engineering expert of New
York, says in his opinion it is one Of the
greatest inventions OF the age. The en-
terprise is now in practical shape to be-
gin the manufacture Of the motor

the supply of apples in that market is
in excess of the demand.
President L. l.. Smith of the Oregon
state board of horticulture is giving his
personal attention TO the printing of the
biennial report OF the state board OF
horticulture. The state is supposed to
print these reports, but in order to have
the cuts which illustrate the report come
out properly, the board out of its funds
pays the extra cost OF the quality of
paper needed. The supply printed by
the state is also wholly inadequate to
meet the demand and the board there
fore pays for printing larger number
OF additional copies Nearly one-half of
the annual appropriation for the board
for the past year was saved for this pur-
pose, and it reduced the allowance to
each commissioner for field work to a
very small sum. m.-Rural Northwest.

Reply to "yerdant.~

Hood River, January 20, l90S- Eds
itor Glacier:. In your issue of January
16, is a communication from some per-
son who, with view solely to. the
eternal fitness Of things, signs himself
"Verdant," on the question of water
supply aud fire protection. Like that
class Of people always do, he favors
municipal ownership, with its natural
consequences, loading the municipal
corporation down with bonded debt
and the people with the burden of in
terest, aud continual partisan scramble
for control of the water-works and
division of spells.
1t is an easy task 10 locate "yer-
dantp and tell where he belongs, as is
the case with all agitaiors who belong
10 the "Herry" Most-Goldmali school
of anarchists.~Yho are always leaders
to create strife between the common
people aud capital and discourage en-
ierprise They are communists aud
socialists of the first water, clamoring
for divide up and readjustment Of
property whenever there is o possibility
to show cheapness or economy on the
surface, as in csfse nj nauuipipzlS0N tIer-
ship of public utilities. They have no
regard for vested rights, nor s6l9e3iness
of contract guaranteed by the consti-
tuition Of the United States, which is
the organic law Of the land and made
never to be changed. ( s
These people, ii allowed to 60 on
with their unholy agitation without
rebuke, will soou be quoting Black
stone, "that all titles TO land vested in
man are arbitrary and only exist In
God the creator"
These unholy people have norespeci
for law and the rights Of individuals
who, like Morgan, Baer, Hewett, Han
ma. Elkins aud Il few others who have
devoted their time aud sweat. and
toiled with their labor aud capital to
develop the coal of the East in the hills
and store il away until a time of great
need and then give it to the people in
such quantities as they may need, that
they may cultivate habits of economy
and teach the people to live within
their means.
If there would have been no private
corporations there would be no railroad
across the continent, no cities nor
towns i'm the West that would need
water-works and fire protection. II is
with bad taste that these people now
come forward and cry for municipal
ownership and control of the water
supply for Hood River, when Hood
River owns no such a supply. The
only means of such a supply would be
TO arbitrarily dispossess the people who
have labored for yearsi to develop the
gushing springs, and whom kind
Providence has endowed with ability
and wisdom to organize accompany
and furnish the people with an abun-
dance Of water at, ! wiz guarantee
not an exorbitant price.
The time has arrived, aud will
serve notice on the Mr. and Mrs Yer
dants, that our business men Of the
town will not he iusulted BY being
characterized as che gFannys" without
severe rebuke being administered.
