TWO THOUSAND MEN WILL SOON
BE At WORK ON THE NEW
RAILROAD.
Contractors Hiring Men as Fast as
PossibIe-Materisl for Road Being
Dumped at Riparia.

Parties arriving in Walla Walla from
Riparia state that camps for the ac-
commodation of men to be employed
in constructing the lewiston Riparia
railroad are beginning to spring up
along the right of way. Over so men
have arrived at Riparia and have been
put to work on preliminary construc-
ton. Within three weeks 1000 men
will be employed on the work. Agents
of the Erickson and Peterson COM
pany, the railroad contractors are en-
gaging men as fast as they can and
are forwarding them to the scene of
the work.
The O. r. & N. still continues to
dump material and supplies for the
new road at Riparia and the station
is beginning to assume the appearance
of vast supply depot. Huge piles of
steel rails and ties are apparent every
where and the sidetrack, constructed
to accommodate cars while being I'M
loaded is crowded to the limit.

Preparing for Big Coal Strike.

PITTSBURG, Pa, July 31-That war
will be declared between the United
Mine Workers of America and the an
thracite coal operators at the expira-
ton on April l next, of the present
three-year working agreement. is
feared by the former and at least an
ticipated by the operators. john Mitch
ellis speeches in his pro-union cam
paign in the coal regions daily grow
more fervide and pointed, and are hav-
ing at least one desired result-that Of
winning back to the mine workers
organization the hundreds who drop
ped out after the declaration of three
years peace. His more recent ad-
dresses have taken the form of fiat
warnings to the toilers that their well
fare after April l may depend alto
gether upon their preparations at this
time.
1t has been general knowledge for
at least two months past that the
operators have been storing immense
quantities of coal. This fact is the
keynote of Presidet Mitchelrs adj
dresses. He and other leaders see
in this accommodating of large quanti-
ties of coal preparations for a long
siege, if a struggle is precipitated at
the next conference, in March, be-
tween the miners and the operators.
The fact that the operators are
storing sucn immense quantities of
the smaller sizes of anthracite is held
by President Mitchell to indicate their
realization that sympathy strike on
the part of the bituminous men would
prevent another soft -coal relief such
as was afforded in 1902, when no prep
aration had been made against the in
vasion of the hard coal market by the
bituminous operators.

one certain shallop, then and there con-
tanning divers and sundry young wo-
men until it did spill them in the
water, whence they were rescued by
the Carnegie medal association.
Now, there is no objection to the
whole crowd having rescued these
Young women from watery graves hav-
ing Carnegie medals, but there is an
other person who should have some
thing extra in the way of reward
We refer to the bystander who orig
mated the idea of beating in the
block of the boat rocker. OF course he
had imitators, and in a few seconds
the unlucky Samuel Brooks was be-
ing assaulted with parasols, reticules
canes and peanut shells. People threw
everything they could think of in the
way of language at him and followed
that up with rocks and handfuls of
sand.
The police made an ill-timed diver
sion, and after rescuing Brooks placed
him under arrest. He is so mad
about the whale business that ne
would not rock a cradle on a bet.
All boat rockers should learn from
this incident that their brand Of hui
NOR is going out of style. People on
shore are now divided into two par
ties. one of which hurries forward
to rescue and restore the drowning,
while the other looks for the boat
rocker. If he is unfortunate to come
to the surface, umbrellas and peanut
shells await him. The boat rocker
would much better not come up at
all than to rise to the surface only to
be impaled on an umbrella handle and
have his brains dashed out with
handful of peanut shells.

1T NIGHT CHOKE.

The failure of the administration to
bring criminal prosecutions against
the officers of railroads and trusts
which are violating the laws, is sug-
gestive of the story of a weak-mindei
German who was one morning found
hanging in his barn, from a rope fast
ened around his body under his arms,
says the Colfax Commoner. He was
cut down and upon being asked what
he was trying to do, replied:
Il vas trying to commid suicide"
When asked why he did not place
the rope around his neck, if he de-
sired to kill himself, ne answered:
Il hat that way twice tried and it
both times smoked me-
Is the administration afraid that the
invocation of the criminal law would
effectually choke off the railroad and
trust magnates? Is that why the pres
ident argues that the corporations,
which cannot be sent to prison or cnok-
ed, should be. prosecuted, instead of
the officers who manage the corpora
tons?

Indians Pine for Home.

The Umatilla Indians now in Mich
igan, engaged in a Wild West show,
are tired of their work and pine for
the reservation, is the information re-
ceived by friends on the reservation.
The excitement of tine circus life is
not what they expected when they
signed for the summer. 1t is possible
that they will return soon, as their
discomfort is inconsolable and the
climate and conditions in Michigan
are so vastly different from their ma
tive Oregon cline that they cannot
be persuaded to fill out the con-
tract there, although they are making
good wages.-Pendleton Tribune.

INDUSTRIAL FACTS ABOUT SCAN
DINAVIA.

The department Of commerce and
labor has issued a bulletin showing
industrial facts about the Scanii-
navian peninsula, which is of great in
terest just now while the eyes of the
world are turned upon Norway and
Sweden. The statistics of immigra-
ton from these two countries into the
United States are given for but ten
years-from 1893 to 19O3-and show
that we have received in that period
176,S57 citizens from Sweden and $780,
81 from Norway. But this is not
persons who have entered the United
States from the peninsula, for the
heavy immigration from those coun-
tries occurred earlier. The last CEN
sus reports shows that a total of
573,O4 persons had come to this coun-
try from Sweden up to 1900 and 1885,
9S5 from Norway. There were then
living in America a total of nearly
1000, 900 persons descendants of SWe-
dish and Norwegian immigrants.
The Scandinavian peninsula has to-
day population of 7,484,000, or about
the same as New York state. The
area of Norway and Sweden, however
exceeds that of Texas and is nearly
. hot Of
large part of the land of Norway, about
IS per cent, is unproductive. The peo-
pie are thrown upon other resources,
but the genius of the Norwegian people
has been equal to the task. Her mer-
chant marine is the fourth in size
among the nations of the earth, be-
ing exceeded only by Great Britain,
the United States and Germany. Its
total tonnage is nearly three times
that of Sweden and its earnings more
than twice.
Sweden has in addition to her lum-
trade extensive mining industries.
Her imports amount to about $4,000
600 and her exports $11s,O0O.O00. Nor
! ways imports are $7S0O0,00O AMI her
exports $4,000, 900. Each country does
an import business of about five or six
millions with the United States, and
each sends to this country from two
to four million dollars worth of its

NATIONAL PosToFFIcE DEPART.
MENT HAS A LARGE AND IN.
CREASING DEFICIT.
Country Towns are Expected to De.
mand Free Delivery Just as
Farming Communities.

When Representative Overstreet of
Indiana passed through Washington
City recently he was quite emphatic as
to the necessity of raising more reve-
nue. from some quarter" is report
that comes from the national capital
AS chairman of the committee on
pOstOfices, he is familiar with tine
fact that the large deficit in the rev.
enues of that department is almost
wholly due to the enormous increase
in rural free delivery, but whether to
check such expenditures is wise from
political or practical standpoint is a
question which he and his colleagues
are likely to decide in the negative.
Perhaps the most interesting Phase
Of this question is how long are the
small towns going to submit to seeing
mail carriers pass their doors daily to
deliver an occasional letter to far
mer twenty miles away, while they
are compelled to walk to the posto1-
flee which may be a mile away.
There is near Washington a town OF
more than 1900 inhabitants to whom
one carrier in a wagon could deliver
the mail twice day, yet three or four
rural carriers pass through each day,
delivering all around the outskirts OF
the town. and there are no deliveries
within its limits.
When towns from 500 to 10000 begin
demanding free delivery, not only VILE
Mr.. Overstreets difficulties be increas-
I'd. but many members will find
liff1cult to compel the patrons OF the
office to go for their mail merely 10

France, par excellence, the land OF
the tip, is willing enough to mulct
travellers in that manner, but when it
comes to the home folks having to
pay, pay, pay every time they turn
around, France begins to count the
cost. The estimate of the cost OF
tips is sSO,0OO,OOO annually. In Paris
alone $16,OOO,OOO a year or $4,000 a
day is expended for tips to cabmen
to have their palms creased. The
French don't propose to stand it any
longer and are organizing to dimin-
ish if they cannot abolish the evil.
