HARRINGTON.

There is no little rejoicing that the crops
are fully as good as usual in spite Of the
excessively dry weather which prevailed
during the early part OF the season. The
eNceedingly favorable wea .ner which has
since prevailed has given the various
products of local farms fresh impetus.
and there is no danger OF any shortage
Prices are fully good as usual with
a good demand for vegetables of all kinds
The nay crop is also up TO the average
ana the farmers are pleased that the
fears which they entertained earlier in the
season on this score were Rroundless.

VALLEY VILLAGES
Valley Barbsrs In a Quandary.
Some Provisions Of Barber's
Bill Do Not Suit.

| IL now appears that the local BARRIERS
| have bitten off a larger piece than they
can chew, in their efforts TO have the
ordinance governing shops in Warwick TO
be the same as that in vogue in Provi-
dence The BARRIERS association began its
operations in regard 10 the law almost
before the general assembly had the mat
ter decided upon and committee was
appointed 10 investigate the new law
! and find out its interesting points. The
committee so appointed iourneyed TO the
city and learned all they could about
the new bill and reported to the associa-
ton later. Everything seemed 10 be all
right. and other committee was instructed
10 at once draft petition 10 be presented
10 the Warwick council. The council
continued the matter at the first meeting,
while a committee investigated il. on
the next meeting day. two socialists
were very much I'm evidence and the bill
was passed and the ordinance made.
The BARRIERS then appeared satisfied
and got copies of the law. Here they
became startled as there were several
clauses OF considerable Importance 10
them which they had not noticed. and
now that the much desired bill was pass
cd and they were on high road To get
ting what they wanted. they began to
tnlnk lndl tney we're not kOlnR TO get
what they wanted after all
Most OF the provisions OF the bill, in
cluding the hot water appartus. cleanli-
ness and other sanitary arrangements,
could easily be conformed with even II a
hot water tank does cost Sl5. The fact
that a proprietor could not have n
striker" or boy 10 work for him dur
ing evenings and Al other busy times,
but must hire only men who would be
about the shop all day, is the clause
which is found to be Objectionable. AT a
number OF shops the business is not such
that the proprietors can afford 10 hire
men or even boys for the whole day. and
as there is not a shop in the valley which
does not have one or more helpers, the
effect OF the law in this respect will prob
ably be felt in all cases.
IL is rumored that an attorney Is to be
consulted and proposition submitted, in
which either an amendment or repelation
OF the bill can be petitioned of the coun-
Gil This peculiar action. however, would
probably appear strange to the council.
as a the meeting when the bill was pass
ed the representatives OF the association
made particularly strong appeal TO have
the bill passed
number of the BARRIERS have already
received their certificates, and have placed
them in frames upon the walls OF their
shop. The outcome OF the affair is Gag

McCumber Stands by Grigsby.

McCumber Stands by Grigsby.
Senator McCumber of North Dakota
is . champion of COL Grigsby against
the vile combinations which have
assailed him in Alaska, and SEN
ator McCumber has inside knowledge
Of the situation because he was up in
that country last summer, and made
personal study of the fighting factions
that are carrying on war of exter'
mination against each other for the
purpose of controlling the golden plum
der that might result from cleaning
out of the other fellows. Senator Nc.
Cumber, whom we knew we'll in terri
torial days, is man who never deserts
q friend and he is born fighter with
enough Scotch blood in his makeup to
give him the staying qualities that has
won for him the esteem of the people
of the north state.
After Col Grigsby and the writer
closed pleasant interview with Presi.
dent Roosevelt at Sioux Falls early in
the year, we returned to Col. Grigsby' g
Office where, for an hour or more, he
gave US brief history of the factions
which are trying to rule or ruin all
who refuse to do their bidding or be.
come allies in the mighty game of con.
fscation or robbery. Col. Grigsby,
being United States Attorney, is man
whose influence and assistance all the
factions want, and his refusal to take
any part in any Of the unholy combin.
atoms has brought down upon his head
the vindictive wrath of the leaders on
both sides, who are now determined to
get him removed and take chances in
the shakeup to secure man they can
use.
The old time Dakotans who are fami-
liar with the early territorial struggles
in Yankton can picture out the Alaska
conditions without any trouble.
It was combination Of unscrupulous
conspirators with the aid of perjury
and San Francisco court that forced
Alex McKinzie to the wall and they
had him pinioned by organized per-
jury before he had chance to defend
He was only private citi-
zen and q victim of scoundrels among
strangers. When his case was looked
into at Washington it didn't take Presi-
dent Mckinley long to free McKinzie
and discredid the court that had order.
ed his arrest and CONTINENT
Col. Grigsby is United States officer
and an appointee of President Roose-
velt and we feel perfectly safe in the
belief that the president will stand by
his representative when he hears the
story of the plot from Senator Nc
Cumber, who has been to Alaska and is
familiar with the rule or ruin policy of
the factions.
