| though the women who superintendent
the mixing of the curd were Obliged
to wear protecting aprons.
The hoop in which the cheese was
pressed was made for the occasion.
1t was four feet in diameter and eight
cen inches deep, and was secured with
strong bands of iron to enable it to
stand the pressure, When all of the
curd had been mixed and sailed it was
placed in this hoop, follower, which
had also been made especially for the
purpose, was placed upon it, and the
ponderous wooden screws of the old
cider mill We're turned down on the
most precious body they had ever
compressed. After all was done, a
hymn, lined off by Elder Leland, was
sung by the assemblage and the people
separated for their homes. Some DAYS
after it was made the cheese was taken
to Capt Daniel Browns cheesehouse
to be cured. Its weight one month
from the time it was pressed was 1 235
pounds. The moving of the cheese
from the cider press to Capt. Brown S
was made great occasion. The peo-
pie turned out again and the cheese
was followed by big procession.
Moses Wolcott, who kept the tavern, -
gave feast to all present, and there
by linked his name to this part of the
towns history.
The following December the great
cheese was sent to Washington, in
charge of Elder Leland and Darius
Brown. There were no railroads in
those days, and it was drawn on a
sled to Hudson, N. Y, and shipped
from there by water. The presenta-
ton of the cheese to the President,
was an event of moment in Washing
ton. The presentation was made at
the White House, in the presence. of
the cabinet foreign diplomats, and
other notables Elder Leland serving
as spokesman and assuring the Presi-
dent in suitable terms of the great
esteem in which he was held by the
people from whom the gift had come.

LABOR AGITATIONS.

AT the present time there is only
one menace to the industrial progress
OF the United States-the labor prob
lem, )" writes II. O. Watson in the
New York Commercial Advertiser.
Not only are the relations between
labor and capital calling for most care
full arrangement, but still more diff
cult of solution is that side issue, the
discussions among trades unions.
During recent months there has seemed
to be something almost epidemic in
the strike situation. Numberless con-
troversies arose all over the country.
no single struggle involving the large
number of men affected by previous
big strikes nor threatening the con-
yenience of the public to the degree
that occurred during the coal strike
last year or extensive railway troubles
in other years Yet the exceptionally
numerous disputes, however small in
the number of men employed, have
produced a feeling of uneasiness that
weakens the tone of securities and
makes capital timid about embarkiug
upon new industrial ventures. 1t is
unfortunate, but undeniable, that SEN
sational and exaggerated statements
regarding the situation have distorted
public opinion, and conditions are be-
lieyed to be much worse than they
really are. AS resdlt Incorporate
speeches have been made and meetings
OF employers have discussed measures
for organized war on trades unions,
tending to precipitate an industrial
crisis, whereas concilIatory measures
alone can cope with the problem sue
cessfully. Fortunately the conserva.
tive element in the community pre-
dominates.

RANGE FUED.

Butte, Mont, July 2O.-Jim German
who killed his brother about year
ago and ran off with brothers. wife.
and man named Walters, who killed
a widow named Hoover at Hot Springs
two years ago because she refused to
marry him, were lynched at Basin
Wyo.. Sunday. @. e. Pierce, deputy
sheriff, was killed during the attack
on the Jail.
Early mob of about fifty men en-
tered Basin, proceeded at once to the
county Jail and fired volley into the
prison. Walters being first found was
shot and instantly killed. German, al
through his body was pierced by five
bullets, lived several hours.
A still more alarming state of affairs
is reported from the vicinity of Their
mopolis About six weeks ago, as a
result of the range feud that has been
so bitterly waged, sheep man, Ben
Minnick, was killed by cattle men.
The sheriff, it is asserted, has captured
the murderers, who are all prominent
cattle men. Sheriff Fenton is unable
to get his prisoners to Basin. 1t is
stated the same mob that lynched
German and Walters are sympathizers
and have declared that Sheriff Fenton
will never get out of the locality alive
with his prisoners. 1t is posi- BILE the
militia will be ordered to the scene
and bloody battle may be fought.

GREET CHESHIRE CHEESE.

The story of the great cheese made
at Cheshire in 1901 and sent the fol.
lowing winter to President Jefferson
as a New Years present has beer
many times told in prose and verse,
but is worthy of repetition as an in
tersesting bit of local history, show
ing, as it does, the patriotic spirit by
which the good people of Cheshire
were moved and the novel manner
they chose for it's expression. In
those days Cheshire was famous for
three things-;ts exceptionally fine
dairying interests and products, the
well-nigh universal adhesion of the
voting population to the Democratic
party, and Elder John Leland, an
able, eccentric, and witty Baptist
divine, whose fame is a part of the
history Of Cheshire. Elder Leland
and most of the other people of the
town were ardent admirers of Thomas
Jefferson, and when he was elected
President of the United States their
joy was unbounded 1t was finally
decided that it would be proper to
give to their esteem tangible express
sion in the form of "A mammoth cheese,
which should show to the President the
quality of their material resources and
something of the extent of their ad-
miration for him.
The announcement of this plan was
made by Elder Leland from his pulpit
one Sunday morning, and was received
with pleasure by the people. July 20,
1901, was the date set for the making
OF the cheese, and the plan was to
have all of the owners of COWS in the
town, with the exception of the few
Federalists there We're, make their
curd and carry it to a central place
for pressing, Of course, there was
no cheese press large enough for the
pressing Of such cheese as was pro-
posed, and Elisha Browns cider press
was consequently selected for the
work. This was on the farm where
William P. Bennett, now living at
Cheshire, was born, Mr.. Brown being
Mr.. Benefits grandfather.
When the day came for making the
cheese the people gathered from all
parts of the town. Those who had
curd to contribute brought it with
them, some in large quantities and
some in small, but all extremely
proud to contribute to the monster
cheese that was to be sent to the Pres
ldent. Besides being busy day, it
was also gala day for the inhabi-
tants OF Cheshire. The farmers and
their wives and families turned out
EN- masse to witness the construction
or what proved to be the most famous
cheese in all history, for though a still
larger cheese was made in the town
at a later date, this was the Presi-
dents cheese, and the great Elder
Leland, who, in the estimation of the
people of Cheshire, was second in i'm
portance only to President Jefferson
himself, was leading and directing the
enterprise, Most of those present
were arrayed in their Sunday best
