ONE extreme seems to have
followed another in the Cripple
Creek, Colorado, mining labor
troubles. First the miners union
struck for an eight hour day.
The mine owners ignored their
demands and employed non IN
ion miners, a proceeding which
the strikers would not bear and
began to commit lawless acts.
The militia was called out and
martial law declared. The strik-
ers continued their depredations
mourning the penalty OF the bull
pen and the lawless emnity of
the citizens who banished num-
Der OF them. Finally, baffled and
fierce with anger the unionists
blew up eleven of non-unionists
and the reign of terror was only
kept from degenerat ing into gen
eral anarchy by the strong hand
OF the government. The eXtrem-
es OF the strikers have been met
with extremes on the part of the
state as it must always be if law
is to be upheld and respected
and government maintained in
any country. The troubles in
Colorado have probably reached
their climax and events will now
tend toward the restoration of
peace. Excitement in the district
Is at fever heat but it is to be
hoped that cool heads will be in
command and that justice will
be melted out mercifully with
Cancellation and without harsh
ness. 1t is another lesson that
government is always supreme
and that above all things, law
and order, in the end, must pre-
vail.

The republican primaries will
be held in the several precincts
OF Kootenai county next Mon
day. Before the convention,
these primary elections are the
most important political events
in which republicans alone, must
figure, and the fact that two
factions are struggling for the
ascendency, makes the primaries
Of serious individual considera-
tion to every republican voter.
We have studiously ignored this
factional strife which we depre-
cate and have refrained from
embroiling ourselves therein, be-
lieying that all true republicans
are capable OF Judging for them
selves by considering the achiev-
ments of the present administra-
ton and by comparing the pub
lie characters OF the leaders OF
the so-called factions. We hope
for the time when doubtful me-
thods to secure or retain politi-
cal power will be tabooed. We
cannot refrain from condemning
the wide spread and disgusting
practice of inventing and circu-
lating falsehoods for political
effect, lies which cannot always
he distinguished from the truth
and groundless attacks upon
the character, in which reputa-
ton is apt to be us ill-considered
by the people as the accusation.
Fair play is a mark of honesty
and an indication OF noble attri-
butes.

HARRIS SHOOTS McNABB.
Then Departs for Parts Unknown

Then Departs for Parts Unknown.
A sensation was created at
Athol last Sunday afternoon,
by professional bad man
named Henry Harris, shooting and
dangerously wounding young
man named Bronson McNabb.
The shooting took place at point
half a mile east of Athol and was
witnessed by several people. 1t
is said Harris made some uncom-
plimentary remarks about Mrs.
Wear, an aunt of NcNabb who
lives there, and the young man
was protesting against the insult
when Harris drew a revolver and
shot him through the chest.
Harris then entered the house, Sc
cured rifle, 100 rounds of ammu-
milton and S2.65 belonging TO Mr..
Wear, and escaped to the woods.
Sheriff Whitney and DR.. Wenz
were notified, and lost no time in
reaching the scene from Rathdrum.
The sheriff and deputies secured
the woods all night, looking for
Harris, but the criminal had made
good his escape.
DR.. Wenz dressed McNabb's
wound which is an ugly one, the
bullet having penetrated the liver,
and the injured man was taken to
Spokane, Tuesday morning, for
treatment. 1t is believed that
under favorable conditions he will
recover.
Harris is a man Of desperate
character. He shot man in
Tennessee, escaped and went to
Montana where he quarreled with
and shot another, this time fleeing
into Idaho. The authorities are
still looking for him.

BOYS on A BURNING SHIP.

Five hundred boys from different
warehouses in London were put to
school to be trained as sailors on board
the training ship Goliath. This great
ship suddenly caught fire about $
o'clock one winter morning, 1t was
hardly daylight. In three minutes the
ship was on fire from one end to the
other. and the fire bell rang to call the
boys each to his post.
What did they do? Did they cry, or
scream, or lily about in confusion? No;
each ran To his proper place. The boys
had been trained 60 do it, and no one
forgot himself nor lost his presence

CROP ROTATION.

The Minnesota Station has studied
the effects OF the rotation Of crops
upon the humus content as well as
upon the fertility Of the soil Wheat
grown continuously for four years re-
moved annually twenty-five pounds
of nitrogen per acre, while l46 pounds
more We're lost. This nitrogen was
lost by the oxidation Of the humus, by
identification chemically, by wind
storms, and through tie loss OF nj
trateS by drainage AS 4 crop OF
spring wheat occupies tie ground dur
ing a short portion Of the year. ii may
be seen that during the greater part Of
the year the other factors are at work
in eliminating this element. In a rOta-
ton of wheat, clover, wheat and oats.
an average of rs pounds of nitrogen
per acre was removed annually. yet
there was a gain for four years over
aud above this amount of 2ij pounds
of nitrogen. This nitrogen. II is be.
iievcd. has been gained largely by the
clover from the free nitrogen Of the
air. In this rotation not only was the
nitrogen and humus content OF the soil
increased, but larger crops were
grown.
The North Dakota station has taken
mp the study OF suitable rotation for
the wheat farm. Experiments carried
on for six years show that continuous
wheat culture is Improbable, while
wheat in rotation increases in yield
and improves in quality. Three crops
of wheat and ono Of clover gave in
four years almost as much wheat and
more profitable returns than four
crops of wheat in succession. I.ittl,
