URGED TO CALL STRIKE OFF
The Victor (Col. Record Urges Call
ing Off of Miners Strike.
II Declares That the Union Miners,
Individually, Have No Hope of
Winning Out.

Victof. Col, June S.-The Record,
owned and edited by George e. Kyner,
and recognized as the official organ OF
the Western Federation of Miners in
the Cripple Greek district, publishes an
editorial urging the miners to call off
the strike in%augurated ten months ago.
The article says: =
1.-The sentiment is growing against
the Western Federation of Miners on
account of its continuing the strike.
There are few people who believe that
this organization Of miners is RESPONSE
BILE for the crimes that have been COM
mitted here, except that if the strike
had not been called and continued 50
long, the dynamiting would not have
occurred, and in that respect the strike
is responsible for this outrage, whether
there was justice in the calling of it or
EN- who have made the Cripple Greek
district, the Record asks the Western
Federation of Miners to call off the
strike.
THE miners living in this district
are losing their homes or being obliged
to go away and leave them. None OF
them, when they express their convic-
tons, as many of them have~to the
writer, believe there is any chance of
winning the strike, but that the longer
it is kept going, the further they are
away from securing work. They are
not in position to stand it much. longer,
and the Record asks, as labor's hest
and demonstrated friend through this
hard struggle, that it be called off at
once, or these people will either be
forced to leave the Federation or their
homes.
THE Record does not have the CEN
idence of the mine owners, of the mill
tary or of the Citizens Alliance, and it
makes thi:; plea soley in the interest Of
the men and women of this district that
are without work, without money, with
ont food and who believe there is no
hope CT winning the strike, and want
it called off"

fidgety and nervous In order to sooth
her Capt. Hayes stroked her gently with
a long rod. She stood quite still during
this proceeding, seeming not to resent 1t
in the least. But when a man ap-
preached her with a halter she plunged
and reared, raced madly round and
round the paddock. Presently she
quieted down and the trainer got near
enough to slip a moose around her right
leg. She tried TO kick it loose, but in
doing so got her left leg entangled in
it. She was thrown forward on her front
legs in a kneeling position, and then
with a gentle push sent rolling on her
side. Her four legs were then bound
with ropes until she was utterly help
less. For an hour she was left in this
plight. then the ropes were removed
from her feet and she got up a meek
and submissive creature.
She stood still while a bit was placed
in her mouth and a saddle strapped to
her back. Capt. Hayes climbed into the
saddle and Jennie consented to be rid
den. She makes an excellent saddle
horse, intelligent, fast and thoroughly
to be relied upon.

ROADS FOR MIDDLE WEST.
Principle of National Aid Has Many
Friends in Illinois and Neigh
boring States.

In many parts OF the middle west there
is as great need of road Improvement as
anywhere else in the world, and it is no
wonder that the psople of this section
have gone into the good roads move
ment with enthusiasm.
A state good roads convention has
just been held at Springfield, H., and,
although IL is the busy season with the
farmers, there was an attendance of
about 200 delegates besides many Wis
itors. Senator Latimer, of South Caro-
lima, was the principal speaker, and he
delivered an able and eloquent address.
Naturally he devoted considerable at
tentiOn to the principle of national aid
as embodied in the bills introduced into
congress by himself and Col. Brownlow,
Of Tennessee. The senator is strongly
Of the opinion hat the government
should contribute some of it's surplus
revenues to aid the states in building
good roads, and he has many cogent rea-
sons to offer in support of that PROPOSE
ton. At the close of his address, Sena-
tor Dltimer asked all present who
agreed with him to stand up, and all but
three or four sprang to their feet. There
was some opposition, however, led by
Prof. Baker. of the State university, and
a protracted discussion followed in
which the professor came off decidedly
second best.
One of the great obstacles to road i'm
provement in some parts of the Missis-
sippi valley is the scarcity of material
for building roads. In large portions OF
Illinois, Iowa, Arkansas and several
other states, there is neither stone nor
gravel. All the material used in surfac-
ing hard roads has to be shipped in
which adds considerably to the expense.
But the bottomless mud roads of these
sections are such a burden that people
are willing to tax themselves heavily to
secure relief. If the national aid plan
should be adopted, the next few years
will see an enormous improvement in
the roads of the middle west.
Where there is good local material
considerable progress has already been
made. In Missouri there are hundreds
of miles Of fine hard roads. The same
may be said of Minnesota. In some 10
calities excellent roads have been built
of mining Stag. Gravel is employed
where available, and in southern Illi-
nois deposits of n%ovaculite are drawn
upon and some very fine roads have been
constructed from this material. On the
whole, however, it must be said that
only a beginning has been made, and the
agricultural industries of this section
are greatly hampered by the expense
and difficulty of getting farm products
to market.

boys had told the doctor that Jack
had gone to take a little drive. Nat
urally, the doctors humor was not a
pleasant one. Jack tried to explain
that he was only fooling, and had
not meant to carry the joke so far.
"Well, young man, l shall call upon
your father to settle the account" said
the doctor, sternly, as he drove away.
Early next morning JAG walked the
four miles again to DR., Aliens Office.
He made the best apology he could,
and then handed the doctor ten dol
lars in silver, of his own saving.
"Your fooling cost me exactly half
Of that" said DR.. Allen, land since

Jack thanked him, and then walked

Refuses to Be Put Back.

Keep trying. That is the very best
n a do. He is surely beaten who
does not try. Perseverance is sure to
carry one ahead. 1t has been said of the
British in warfare that they never know
when they arc beaten. Willful ignorance
of that same kind has won some splendid
victories in battles with encouragement
and hard conditions. Never know your
self as beaten. You may be headed off
in one direction; just try another.
There's a way up and a way out of him
ORANGES for him who keeps on climbing.
Find a way or make one. Refuse to be
put back. You may not get just where
you think yOl ought to be, but really you
are succeeding all the while you are
trying, because you are doing your best.

Grain for Cows on Pasture.
