BRIEF AND SOCIAL NEWS
Fire Company Gets It's First
Taste of Actual Service at
g. Real Fire.
Members and Citizens Fought
Heroically To Prevent
Spread of Flames.

The volunteer fire company had some
real live excitement Monday evening.
At 11:15 p. M, fire was discovered IN
the home of Thos. Perry on Palmetto
street. The alarm was quickly given,
and was responded to by almost every
person on the Heights. The bucket bri-
gade did noble service and succeeded
in saving the adjoining house occu-
pied by Captain Montgomery. Ihls
was the first real fire on the Heights
for several years, and since the organ

While there was very little discipline
among the members of the company,
there was plenty Of active work to make
up for any other loss. One member
Of the company in his excitement, after
pouring the water from the roof of the
Montgomery house to the ground, miss
ing the house entirely and drenching a
couple Of boys who were standing be-
meath, then threw the bucket IN the
same direction as the water. The
boys were not struck by the bucket
but some of it's remnants may be seen
about the place yet. There were several
other amusing incidents, and all were
taken in good part by the crowd
The chemical engine was tried and
proved to be an absolute failure. An
engine from headquarters fire hall ar
rived just as the blaze was dying out.
The fremen were not called upon to do
any work.
It is stated that the fire started from
an exploded lamp. Mr.. Perry and his
children had little time to escape from
the burning house and everything
is total loss. It is not known how
much insurance was carried on either
the house or the furniture.

Elusive WILD STALLION.

On the reservation in the Okanogan
country In Washington, is big black
stallion the swiftest animal on all that
reservation of 100000 acres. He is as
wild as hawk and defies all efforts at
capture. The stallion weighs perhap
1900 pounds, and from distant views is
a cross between an American thorough
bred and a cayuse.
DRY Creek Jack" his most persistent
pursuer has devised a. great many
schemes for the capture Of this horse,
but so far his efforts have availed him
nothing. He thought he had him sure
last year, when he found a ravine fire.
quented by the big stallion and his
band Of mares, and he built great wire
fence in the form of V, something
after the manner Of hunting rabbits
down in Southern California. He got
the stallion in the trap all right, but
when he started to ride in the horse
cleared the fence at single bound,
and was up and away to the mountains.
That is as near to being captured as
he ever came. There is not a rancher
who has not tried to get him, but so
far it has been impossible. His favorite
trick when pursued is to leave the band
of which he is leader and take to the
mountains. He apparently is as much
at home among the crags and peaks
as the goats that roam in that coun-
try, and he can go to places that the
how surefooted their steeds may be.
The horse is greatly desired for
breeding purposes He evidently has
endurance to burn, for even after a
hard winter, when the stock all over
the country is greatly run down, this
magnificent animal seemingly is as
strong and rugged and as fast as ever.

General Labor Notes.

The union label bill advocated by the
Trades and Labor Congress of Canada
at the present session of the Canadian
parliament has been practically killed
by the adoption of an amendment maxi

introduced by the congress passed the
house Of commons at two previous ses-
sions, but was rejected by the senate.
The canvassers for the city directory

uous time, if current reports are to be
believed. The work is done in an I'M
fair printing office, and the union men
are therefore refusing to give their

unionists are said to be giving fictitious
names and occupations such as "W.

MARRIED AND SINGLE MEN
HAVE FUN ON DIAMOND

Base ball is getting to be the popular
sport for Duluth Heights people, old
and young. The other day the mar
ried men played the young fellows, and
almost defeated them. With some good
practice the old boys claim that they
can do up the young men for love or
money.
The score was 10 to 9. Some great
efforts were made by the daddies.
Leon St. Germaine famed the wind so
that it almost created cyclone. The
boys permitted him to practice batting
for a considerable time during the
game. Hugh Fawcett was on the bench
a cripple, but with plenty of enthusi-
asm to stir up his team. Adrain Davis
is said to have lost 20 pounds as the re-
suit of his base ball experience. Till
Honnuld gave up in the ninth inning.
It is said that he has been using a
cane since then. Other members Of the
club have all been more or less dis
abled during the week, but it. is ex-
pected that they will be in good trim
by Sunday.

According to statistics submitted by
a congressional committee, $3.50 per-
sons were killed and rs, 553 injured on
the arilroads in the United States dur
ing the fiscal year ending June 30, 1908,
and the reports for the year ending
June 80, 1904, when completed, will show
but little improvement in conditions.
The figures compiled show that the
United States leads the world in the
number of persons killed and manned
annually on railroads. The committee
which presented these startling figures
recommended the passage Of law au-
thorizins the president to bestow, un-

LEWIS & CLARK EXPOSITION

1t is a noteworthy fact that the
Lewis and Clark Exposition is the first
worlds fair to be held west of the
Rocky Mountains which has secured
the aid of the government.
And it is also surprising what an in
terest is manifested in the Exposition
by the people of the East. They see
in the Exposition an opportunity to
visit the Western country at a greatly
reduced expenditure of money, and not
only see the Exposition itself, but view
the wonders of our Western scenery,
and witness the great resources of the
Northwest and the opportunities at
forded. The Great Northern Railway
passenger department has been food
ed with inquiries as to the Exposition,
and it augurs we'll for a big travel
through the Northwest this year.

President GOmpers Of the American
Federation of Labor, recently met How
ard w. Clark in an open debate before
the central trades and labor council of
Rochester. Their subject was 1.-THE
Open Shop" Those who had the priv
f1ege of hearing the discussion are
unanimous In the opinion that Mr.
Gompers had by far the best of the
argument. Certain it is that his speech
was a credit to him and the organiza-
ton he represents. The Labor World
has not the space to reproduce the de-
bate, but It wishes to call especial at
tent1on to the following thoughts, as
expressed by Mr.. Gompers: my friend
admits that the trade unions have
raised wages, and that they have short
ened the hours of labor. I am pro-
foundry appreciative Of that admission,
for there are not two things or factors
in the whole world that do so much
to improve mankind as the means to
bring better and more Of the good
things in the home, and more Of the
time to cultivate our better natures
We are going down in our pock-
cts day after day and contributing our
few pennies to send out missionaries
throughout the length and breadth of
the country, throughout the highways
and byways, and preaching the gospel
Of labor, and urging and notifying every
man and woman who works to come
into the fold of our labor trust and en-
joy-Cast words drowned in applause).
You can not break into a capitalist
trust with an AK. We throw open
wide the doors Of our labor movement,
and appeal to and notify all the world
of workers to enter.'

A writer in IRE Chicago Inter Ocean

A writer in the Chicago Inter Ocean
says every student Of the labor ques-
ton is ready to admit that trade unions
have done much toward procuring bet
ter sanitary arrangements in work.
shops and factories. In proof of this
assertion he give some vital statistics
taken from the reports Of the Cigar
makers International union. From
these it would appear that while the
United States census reports for the
year 1900 showed a total death rate of
81 per cent in the cigar making indus
try from pulmonary diseases, only 80
per cent of the deaths among the men,
bers of the cigarmakers' union were
due to the white plague or kindred
troubles. The writer asserts that" as
the death rate among the organized
men is SO much lower than that shown
in the government reports, it therefore
follows that the rate Of deaths from
tuberculosis among the organized cigar
makers has been reduced from 40 per
cent of the total in 1890 to 80 per cent
in 1900 and that the figures for the
present year, when completed, Will show
still further decrease, probably to
about "a per cent. The decrease in the
death rate is attributed mainly to the
adoption of the eight-hour day and the
enforcement of better sanitary con-
ditions. These figures are commanded
to the careful consideration of the op-
ponents of the shorter workday, who
are protesting that the country will
60 to the demnition bow-wows If the
eight-hour work day becomes general.
But, sad to relate, many of these en-
ployers of labor have little regard for
the sufferings of humanity or the value
Of human life.
