OF this train, the opportunities for en-
joying, the passing scenery enroute
makes the Oriental Limited the

Bouaust for Wiilmsr Plumber.

The steam heating plant which was
put in the new Stene block last week
was installed by Ben Benson of Will
mar. This is the second good sized
contract which Mr.. Benson has filled
in Atwater. Although he did not have
the contract for the work on the new
hotel, he nevertheless did the work.
His work there was so satisfactory
that Mr.. Stene did not hesitate in
awarding him the contract on his new
building and he reports a first class
job. At the same time the fixtures
were installed in his new block Mr..
Stene had the post Office building also
piped for steam. Postmaster Peterson
reports this as decided improvement.

coal of the country held up for high prices and
the business interests of the entire land affected beyond
measure Millions of dollars lost by the miners and
operators alone. Millions were lost by the
of the country at large. Men and and children
were killed and manned and rendered homeless.
All because the Reading railway autocrat, the head Of
the anthracite trust maintained that higher wages to the
miners could only the wipng out of the operators

arbitration. AS result the miners granted 10 per
According to the Readings contention, it's profits

have wiped out all profit 10 per cent increase must have
wiped out half of it.
But the Readings profits this year larger than
