To Restore Greek Temple.

The Greek Archaeological Society
has decided to restore the Doric tenn
pie of Jupiter, at Nemea, situated
near the haunt of the famous Nemean
lion, the Staying of which formed one
of the feats of Hercules. The edifice
was overthrow by a succession of
earthquakes, and only three columns
are now standing; but the fallen
shafts that lie around the temple are
so little injured that it is believed
that it will be possible to re-erect
them and the fallen entablature with
out much difficulty or expense, and
without having recourse to new ma
terial. AS soon as the ground around
the temple has been cleared OF the
litter of fragments that now cucumber
1t, the Greek government which has
hitherto been inaccessible and intends
to begin excavations on the spot,
hopes to make valuable discoveries.

The coming of homesteaders to the
lands west of the river, while opposed
by the range owners as long as they
could make their protests good, is
taken by many stockmen to be perma-
nent, and they will change their meth
DDS of handling cattle to meet the new
order of things. Several of them have
announced their intention of shipping
practically all their steer stock this
fall and reducing their herds to what
they can handle on land under their
ownership and control. They will also
fit out the new settlers with small
punches Of COWS to meet their needs,
and help in the new order Of establish
ing small herds on the ground which
they have for years ranged with their
large herds.

Why Not Raise WAGES?

The world is waiting for a multimil-
lionaire who is willing to lessen his
burdensome income by increasing the
pay of those who are the instruments
of his success. Let him do what he
pleases with his surplus accumula-
tons. 1t would 10 be in every sense
agreeable to see him bestow it as q
gratuity on his employees, for such q
course would have the appearance of
charity. But let him recognize the
past and present services of his help
ers by such an increase in wages as
would be commensurate with the
great value of those services and
would also serve to decrease the em-
barrassment of riches.-Kansas City

ARE OPPOSED TO A STRIKE.
Great Northern Men Confer With Mr..
Ward.

st. Paul, May IL. -- The indications
are that there will be no strike on the
Great Northern railway. About TWEEN
ty-ive Of the Great Northern conduc-
tors and trainmen, all of them associa-
ton men and representative men
among the employees, held a conference
with General Manager Ward yesterday
afternoon and went over the situation.
Mr.. Ward assured the men that the
company is not looking for trouble.
and that it stands ready to do anything
TO avert trouble SO long as the COM
pany is allowed to retain the right to
run double-header trains whenever the
exigencies Of the business demand
such operation. Mr.. Ward went SO far
as to agree to insert a clause in the
schedule binding the company to run
double-headers to nc greater extent
than at present, which is 3 per cent of
all trains. He also agreed to adjust
the wage scale to conform to the
schedule agreed to by the management
and the general committee early in the
negotiations. The men who met with
Mr.. Ward had no authority to accept
or reject the proposition made by the
general manager, but they expressed
entire satisfaction with it and agreed
to recommend it's adoption by the gen
eral committee.

Law Does Not Require them, but Gus.
tom Takes Them Up.
A mistaken impression prevails as
to the proposed passing of a law by
the late legislative session requiring
gasoline cans to be painted red. The
bill only went through the house and
never became a law. Regardless OF
this. many dealers are requiring its
provisions to be carried out, and find
it such a safeguard that. regardless OF
legislative action, it will be a law OF
custom in the state at many places.
While the law Toes not require it, the
plan where. tried has proven such a
convenience that both dealers and GUS
toners are satisfied with it and will
continue it. It's observance all over
the state would prevent any POSSIBLE
ity of putting gasoline in kerosene

The Scofield Lumber Company Loses
Its Mill.
West Superior, Wis, May 12.-The
sawmill Of the Scofield Lumber COM
pany on Superior bay front burned
yesterday morning, entailing a loss Of
probably $75, 900. Only the charred
ruins with the engine room and slab
burner remain to mark the spot of the
mill. The structure, with all the saws
and the machinery, is a total loss. The
fire is supposed to have caught from
a hot band saw shortly after the mill
closed down at 6 o'clock yesterday
morning. There was no one upstairs
in the plant at the time and the flames
gained great Roadway before they
were discovered. The fire had COM
plete charge of things by the time the
alarm was turned in, and when the
companies arrived on the scene there
was no hope. Three hundred men
were employed and it is possible that
they are thrown out of permanent en-
ployment.

kicking on appropriations of the late

preparation Of 100000 for wolf bounty
deficiencies the eastern part of the
state is being taxed to pay the claims
of the range country. The figures on
which this appropriation was based
show that of the total appropriation
less than $4,000 goes to counties west
of the river, and $4,000 to counties
along the river on the east side from
Charles Mix north. The rest goes to
the counties in the eastern part Of the
