AN HISTORICAL SOUVENIR.

The News is in receipt of hand
some copy of the famous portrait,
General Grant and Party at Fort
Sanders, Wyo., in 1867" which comes
from the Union Pacific Railroad Com
pany. The picture is an especially
appropriate gift from this particular
railroad, for during the construction
of the Union Pacific a good deal of
trouble was encountered from Indian
attacks, and for this reason and 9TH
ers General Grant and party made a
trip over the road to arrange treaties
with the hostile tribes, the photograph
mentioned being taken at Fort San
Iers during this trip.
The picture from which this souve-
mir was reproduced was found recent
" at Rawlings, Wyo., among some
Union Pacific relics, and has not here
tofOre been published.

The News prints with cordial APP
probation and approval a communi-
cation from Mrs. Annie Durham Meth
vim, a talented woman of YeO-
mans, in this county. AS matter of
fact, the people of Dawson, as rule,
are quick to respond to calls for
aid, and upon reading in the last issue
of The News of the condition of the
family to which Mrs. Methvin refers,
they Immediately offered full meas
ure of sympathy andihelp. Still, the ar
ticle contains much of valuable sug-
gestion and advice of general nature
that is we'll worth the thoughtful con-
sideration of The News readers.
The people of Dawson are noble
hearted and generous, and are always
quick to respond when assistance is

Identincation.
The public should remember that
there are a few Labor Unions conducts
ed on peaceful lines. and In proportion
as they are worthy they have won
esteem. for We. As a people. are strong
ly in sympathy with any right act that
has for its purpose better conditions
for wage workers But we DO not for
get that We seek the good of all and
not those alone who belong to SONS
organization. whereas even the law
abiding unions show undeulsble eyi-
dences Of tyranny and oppression when
they are strong enough. while many
Of the unions harbor ard encourags
criminals in their efforts to force a
yoke Of slavery upon the American
people As n public speaker lately
said: The arrogance OF the English
King that reused the fiery eloquenca
OF otis. that inspired the Immortal
declaration of jefferson. that left War
rep dying on the slopes of Bunker Hill
vas not more OUTRAGEOUS rnHn r'Ir con-
ditions that a closed shop would force

into rebellion when the king did but
touch their pockets Imagine n you
can their indignant protest had he
sought TO prohibit or restrict their oe-
cupation or determine the conditions
under which they should earn their
livelihood and to assault beat and
murder them. blow up their houses and
poison their food II they did not sub
nit.
The public should also remember
that good true American citizens can
be found in the unions and that they
depreeate the criminal acts Of their
fellow members. but they are often n
bad company.
Salt only hurts sore spots. So. the
honest. lawabiding union man is not
hurt when the criminals are denounced.
but when you hear union man -hol-

he has branded himself as either one
OF the lawbreakers or a sympathizer.
