ELEVATED MEN STILL GRUMPY.
Get the Small wage Increase Manhattan
Promised but WIN Try for More.

The Interborough Rapid Transit Company
took over the control Of the elevated rail-
road from the Manhattan Railway Com
pany yesterday. and most Of the elevated
employees received an increase in wages
of from Ave to fifty cents a day. This.
however, was not result OF the Inter-
borough company taking over the Man
haitian.
About a month ago the Manhattan Rail-
way Company notified its employees that
on April | a new schedule of wages would
be put into effect. No attention was paid
TO the mems union, 30 the union held a
meeting and rejected the proposed in
crease. One of the first acts Of the Inter-
borough Rapid Transit Company was to
adopt the schedule of wages which the
Manhattan had told the men would go into
effect yesterday.
George e Pepper. president Of the ele-
waited mems new union, said last night
that the union objected to the new scale
and would send a committee to see Mr..
Bryan In the near future with the hope OF
getting a better one.
representative OF E. p. Bryan, who
succeeds Alfred Skitt as general manager
OF the road, said that certain matters of
organization had been arranged, but moth
ing definite had been decided upon as to
changes OF policy. He said that cars in
tended for the subway can be used on the
Second avenue line. As these cars are
expected TO be ready by May I. they may
be used on that line.
According to trainmen, a nine-hour day
schedule has been arranged for some of
the men on the Sixth avenue line. This

The West Side Transit Reform Commit
tee wrote TO August Belmont a few days
ago asking him what measures OF relief
= from the intolerable conditions on the
trains and at the stations" on the elevated
lines OF the West Side could be expected
when the Interborough company took
over the elevated railroad. The COM
mi ttee asked Mr., Belmont to hear a dele
cation tell Of these conditions. He has

AT MERCY or ORGANIZED LABOR.
secy. Fuest OF Metal Trades Association
says Employers Are Forced 20 Organize.

BUFFALO. April 1.-Two hundred manu-
facturers in the metal lines are here for the
fifth annual convention Of the National
Metal Trades Association. In the absence
OF President Watkins OF Milwaukee, Vice
President Z. +. Dubrul Of Cincinnati read
the president = address. George F. Steed-
man OF st. Louis presided over the con-
vention, whose business to-day was rou-
tine.
This il an era when the employer Is
forced to organize said Secretary Robert
Fuest. To-day the unorganized en-
ployer is at the mercy Of every whim and
caprice of organized labor.
He may not have been under pressure
as yet, but the handwriting is on the wall
and his day will surely come, as il has TO us,
His only recourse is to join with his fellow
employers to handle the labor question
collectively and scientifically.
Our association has no quarrel with
labor organizations as such. II simply
insists that such organizations shall not
put upon us conditions that are uneconomio
and unjust. Our association does not
discriminate against union men, neither
will we discriminate against non-upion
men. We stand for American rights and
American freedom.

Scott Boorman finished harvesting his
potatoes last week, and tells the most
remarkable tale yet. From the five
acres he gathered lips sacks of l0C
pounds each. This is almost two tons
Of potatoes to the acre. The potatoes
were sight to behold as Mr.. Boorman
had them heaped in monster piles ready
for the bins constructed by cover
ing the spuds with leaves and straw
then heaping earth ON top. Mr.. Boor-
mans largest potato measured 22 inch
es in length. For a potato yield this
beats the record. 1t is all the more re-
markable since no irrigation was used.
The potatoes we're planted on a clover
sod, and well cultivated.

"Seattle will continue to hold her Alas

three years while Portland is disburs-
ing a couple of million dollars for the

Alfred Wood of 0dell and Jasper
Wickham were eonyersing in the Glacier
office, Thursday, when the former
pulled out OF his pocket a regular old
fashioned steel corn-husker. "What
use do you have for that instrument in
this country" asked Mr.. Wickham,
surprised to see such an instrument for
the first time since he left Kansas But
Mr.. Wood assured him that he found
plenty Of use for it ON his place. Mr..
Wood grows some corn every year on
his place at Odell, and without irri-
eating. He has had no water, but now
that the Bone ditch will pass his place,
he can get all the water he wants for ir-
rigation. This year Mr.. Wood had but
half an acre in corn that he planted for
fodder, but when he came to cut itfound
SO many big ears that he saved them for
seed and got wagon box full of fine
corn.
John Leland Henderson sold last week
his 20 acres, formerly part Of his mothers
place, mile and half southwest of
town, to George w. Smith, OF Penne
wawa, near Colfax, Wash considera-
ton $4,000 cash. Mr. Smith is we'll
to-do fruit grower in the Palouse coun-
try. He intends some day to make
Hood River his home.
Alfred Wood of Odell left at this
office curiosity in the shape Of three
apples grown into one. 1t is a Yellow
Newtown apple with three blossom ends,
and not the least curious feature OF
the freak is that one of the blossoms is
on the stem end of the main apple.

Norman Williams is Arrested.

Norman Williams, former resident
of Hood River, was indicted bv the Unit
ed States grand jury last week charged
with forging a homestead relinquish-
ment for Miss Alma Nesbett. Connect
ed with his indictment there appeared
the story of his alleged murder of Miss
Nesbett and her mother whom he locat-
ed on lands in the Mount Hood settle
ment about four years ago. Mr.. Will
liams has since been heard from at
Whatcom, Wash, and will probably be
taken to Portland for trial on the forgery
charge.
The case OF Williams is indeed pecu-
liar. Many Hood River people will re-
call the incident of the disappearance Of
the Nesbett women in the spring OF
1899, and the suspicious which we're di-
rected at that time against this man
Williams. Many people in the Mount
Hood district believe the man capable
of the supposed murder, and can say
nothing good Of him. Others think
there is no occasion for such serious sus-
picions.
The Nesbett women came here from
Omaha and were located on claims at
Mount Hood by Norman Williams.
Very little was seen of the women. One
March night, 1899, Williams hired a
livery team to take the women to their
homestead He returned alone the
next morning, and the women were new
er seen since. Williams, though, asserts
he can produce witnesses who saw the
mother and daughter board the train at
Hood River after the date Of this all
night ride. Further developments in
the case will be watched with interest.
