INDUSTRIAL ASSOCIATION
National Organization Begins Its Third
Annual Session in ST.
Louis
By Associated Press.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 15.-The third an
nual session of the National Citizens
Industrial association opened today at
the Planters hotel with 400 delegates
in attendance, representing local or
ganizations throughout the United
States. c. w. Post president of the
national organization, in outlining the
objects of the assembly said:
This is not, as some would have the
public believe. an organization to tear
down labor organizations or fight labor.
We are not partisans of the employer.
Our position is rather that of an inter-
mediary between capital and labor. We
want to strengthen both and build
them up. We are just as much opposed
to industrial combinations as we are to
labor trust or any institution that
seeks to corner the labor market. We
want labor to feel as independent as
capital and vice versa"

NOT READY TO BUY PLANT
City Council of Riverside Delays
Action Regarding Big
Purchase
Special to The Herald.

RIVERSIDE, Nov. 15.-The city
council has determined to delay defin-
ite action on the proposed purchase OF
the plant of the Riverside Power com
pany for a municipal lighting plant,
but instead has referred the question
to the city engineer and city electri-
clan to make up detail estimate of
the cost of such a plant as 1t is pro-
posed to sell to the city, and the pres
ent condition of the plant and its
adaptability for the city's use.
There were some citizens who felt
that the sale of the plant was being
too hastily urged upon the city and
that the scheme should be investigated
more fully before the city entered into
the plan which involves the expendi-
ture of so large a sum of money,
nearly 100000. 1t was to satisfy this
class of citizens as we'll as themselves
that the trustees have decided to take
this course.

SPEEDING AUTO
STRIKES WAGON
FOUR MEN ARE INJURED IN
COLLISION
Big Machine Driven Rapidly Through
Darkness Crashes Into Rear Of
Vehlole-Vietim Tells
of Wild Ride

Dashing madly towards Santa Mon
lea on Washington street, an automo-
bile owned and driven by owen Brice
with whom were Frank Wiskam, John
Shonohan and II. 10. Hand, last even
ing collided with a wagon driven by
Fred Jager and Charles Young. All
of the occupants of the huge machine
were hurled out and the two boys in
the wagon were thrown to the ground,
all sustaining injuries.
The front of the machine was badly
battered, and the rear end of the wagon
was smashed to splinters. The two
lads on the wagon alone escaped with
out serious injury, and as soon as they
could extrlcate themselves from the
debris of the collision, assisted the
wrecked automobilists.
AS the autoists reached the limits of
Los Angeles on Washington street they
put more and more speed on the car.
According to the statement of one of
the men riding in the machine the
lights were burning dimly and they
were unable to see far ahead
Jager and his friend Young had been
forced to get down off of the wagon
to fix breakdown. They were headed
in the same direction as the speeding
motorists and when they had finished
with the wagon they again mounted
on the seat prepared to drive away.
Tells of Wild Ride
Suddenly Wiskam gave a wild cry
and grasped Brice by the arm. In an
other instant, before Brice could ply
the brake of his machine with effect
the auto crashed into the rear end OF
the wagon.
Hurled through the air, the automo-
bilists fell several feet from the place
where the collision occurred. All were
rendered unconscious by the fall and
received bruises and injuries of a Sc
rious nature.
Wiskam who was sitting in the front
seat with the chauffeur, was thrown
out of the machine with more violence
than the others and sustained a frac-
ture of the left clavicle, a cut on the
left side of the face and numerous
injuries of minor character
With the assistance of the two lads
in the wagon the unconscious motorists
were revived and Wiskam was sent tc
the receiving hospital in the police am
bulance. Medical aid was summoned
for the others and they were removed
to their homes. Later Brice, who lives
at 321 East Third street, called at the
receiving hospital and had Wiskam re-
moved to his rooms at 800 East Second
street.
Young assisted Jager in disposing OF
the wagon which they were driving
and word was sent to Jager's home, 331
Towne avenue, for assistance. Jagei
drives a wagon for his father, who is
a barber supply dealer in the city.
I'VE were going to Santa Monica tC
spend the night said Wiskam wher
questioned at the receiving hospital las
evening. II think that we must have
been travelling at least ten miles ar
hour when the crash came-well, ir
fact, I don't exactly know what the
speed of the machine was, but think
that it was about that rate.

THE TRADER LONELY LIFE
Seattle Times.

With Alaska furs valued at $4,000
from Nulato, on the lower Yukon, Gar
lett Busch has arrived in Seattle after
eight years spent in trafficking with the
Indians in the wilderness which he was
the first white man to penetrate as a
trader. When Mr.. Busch reached Nula-
to, Aug. 12, 1897, with miners out
fit as his sole possession, he foresaw
in that gloomy solitude a trade in the
furs which protect animal life from
arctic winters which would exceed in
returns the reasonable possibilities Of
mining ventures.
Mr. Busch settled down at the place
where the little town of Nulato now
stands. He built a one-story cabin
native timber, and began to trade his
miners supplies to the natives for the
furs which they knew SO well how to
trap, but Of whose value they had no
conception. Thru the first winter he
lived alone, except when an occasional
squad Of Indian trappers came by and
stopped in curiosity to learn what man
ner of man had settled in so lonely a
spot. To these Indians he traded his
humble supplies except the provisions
which he actually needed to sustain
his own existence until spring.
The visits Of the Indians were few
and far between. The solitary trader
was often hOmeslck as he sat thru the
almost perpetual darkness of the arctic
winter. In the short hours Of glimmer
ing daylight he gathered his little stores
Of frewood, dragging them thru the
snow, and then sat thru the long night
counting off the days on the calendar
until spring. His nearest white neigh
bors were at Anvik, 200 miles down The
Yukon, and at Weare, 240 miles up thu
stream. H. never saw a white fact
until nearly a year after his arriva
at Nulato. -
When spring broke upon the lonely
hermit. life assumed more, cheerful
aspect. The fame Of the new whit,
trader had spread far thru the Indial
ING reeuiarlT ~ at III the a pus post With the ii
stock of furs. They came from Koyo

FINE POULTRY COUNTRY
OKLAHOMA SPECIALLY ADAPT.
.-. ED FOR FOWLS.
Chicken Cholera Is Unknown, Hens
Lay in January, and BroiIers
Are Early on Market.
Special Correspondence.

+. CUSTER CITY, Ok, Nov. 14.-The peo-
pie Of the North and West have heard so
much about the agricultural resources Of
Oklahoma, about it's great crops of wheat
and cotton, that they ar apt to ovrlook
the fact that the territory has many other
claims to considerations. One Of these
claims is that of poultry raising.
Without doubt Oklahoma is the greatest
poultry country on earth, and this county
Is one OF the best adapted to that industry
OF any in the territory. While the busi-
ness OF raising poultry has not been en-
gagedin extensively by the farmers about
mere, yet during the past summer and fall
over 10000 pounds of chickens, turkeys,
and ducks were shipped from this city,
besides the vast quantity that found a
local demand.
In most OF the states where poultry
raising is engaged In largely as regular
business the ravages Of chicken cholera
| make 1t more or less uncertain. This dis
ease, when 1t makes its appearance in the
flock, soon wipes out all profits. But here
s0cn tnlnG as chicken chOlera Is un-
| known. and therefore the element Of
| chance Is eliminated from the business.
| Either for producing eggs or poultry
| for market this country is unsurpassed
Hens begin laying in January and Feb
ruary, and large quantities of eggs are
produced just at the time when prices are
high and eggs are scarce at the North
Broilers can also be put on the marks
much earlier and cheaper than in the
| Northern states. These always meet q
ready market, the supply never being
! equal to the demand - y ~ = 81
Great quantities OF Kaffir corn are
raised here, and this constitutes the bes
and cheapest grain for poultry that is
known. Fowls take to 1t with avidity anf
| grow fat rapidly. -.
| There is no better spot in the country
! for big poultry farm than here The
fine chicken business is as yet unknown
here, although there is good demand fol
we'll bred fowls. The man who will start
| such farm in the vicinity of this city :;
certain to reap small fortune from it IL
a few years time.
| This is only one OF the many oppor-
tunities that abound for the industrious
man down in this section. The CONNER
