CONTROVERSY BETWEEN JOHN
STACK AND PAINTERS STILL
REMAINS UNSETTLED.
Mr.. Stack Makes a Statement Of the
TroubIe-HoIding Jobs for Men
Who Quit.

There were no new developments in
number of the painters employed by
John Stack. The work that the con-
tractor has in hand is being prose-
cuted as rapidly as possible, and while
the loss of several of his employees has
hampered him to no small degree, yet
he claims that he will have the matter
adjusted by the first of the week and
will be able to finish up his contracts
without further delay.
Mr.. Stack said this morning: 'The
trouble originated through a contract
that l took to paint house for Mrs.
Ives, which was constructed by Con-
tractor Richardson. l sent a man to
do the work. A walking delegate went
to the place and ordered the man to
quit the job, stating that the building
had been erected by an unfair con-
tractor and if he continued to work
there he would be violating the rules
of the Painters union. The man be-
ing a stranger in Walla Walla and not
knowing just what to do remained
at work until evening.
The next morning the other paint

and after full discussion of the sub
ject a majority of them decided to
complete the work they had started.
At noon I was giving some instructions
regarding the work when one of the
painters asked that he be transferred
to some other job, as he i not desire
to work on the Ives building. I in
formed him that if he desired to work
for the union in preference to me he
could do so. If any man expected to
work for me and expected me to pay
him he should perform the work that
| desired. I also notified all the paint
ers that in the future that I would
run an open shop hire whom
pleased and work them on any job that
l saw fit.
Five of the men then quit and the
remainder of them went on to finish
up the job. The next day man named
Gallagher came to me and represent
ing himself as a committee from my
employees endeavored to induce me to
change my mind regarding the open
shop proposition. I refused and that
ended the matter as far as 1 was con-
cerned.
Il am still holding open the jobs of
the men that quit and have informed
them that they nave until Monday in
which to resume work. If they so

the principal cities of the country.
"Mr. Kimball is eminently qualified
to speak authoritatively on the subject
ne presents" said member, las he
stands a living example of the healing
and saving power of Christian Science,
having gained health through it's min

Vicksburg- Birmingham Line.

VICKSBURG, Miss, July 15.-Fur-
Their detils in connection with the
building of the proposed railroad from
this city to Birmingham, Ala, by way
OF Canton, Miss, show that the Sauls-
bury Syndicate, backing the project,
will capitalize the company at $4,000
900. This road, should it develop, will
be one of the best running across the
state of Mississippi and will be one of
unusual value as it will place the out
put of the Alabama coal fields within
easy reach of the Mississippi river for
distribution to all points both near
and far.

EGG INDUSTRY.

- Hens are demonstra tisg.=.heirr. D., re :
cuniary value to their owners. Hhelf
gastronomic appreciation is at a pre-
MUM and their commercial worth is
greater than the profits Of the great
railroads. The number Of eggs which
reached tho markets Of this country
last year was 10000. 100000. If poul-
try farmers realized net proht OF
out one cent on each egg the amount
If money which returned to them for
the produce was 2oo,n0e,00o. If the
commission merchants made proht
II another cent a like amount came
to them. The retailers gains were on
che same basis. At an average retail
price, the year round, of % cents a
dozen the amount of money expended
in their purchase would reach the en-
ormous sum of nearly 81, $50, 100000.
Regarding these figures it is safe TO
predict that poultry farming will re
ceive an impetus, and the hen VIII
nenceforth be an object of care equal
if not superior to horses and cattle.
Our esteemed contemporary the
Augusta Herald figures the profits on
eggs aomething similar to the won
derful calculator Col. Mulberry Sellers
Eggs to sell, so as to give a commits
sion merchant IL cents dozen, as a
5 per cent commission would have to
Iell at 80. 40 a dozen and hens laying
Is0 eggs year would produce an an
aual return of s38 each.

WE MUST HAVE MONEY FOR

The time has come when our Cit

action in regards to raising money for

the only source by which they can
get enough for all purposes is to run q
pipe line from the power house to a
