and he sent US word il had to be
in real money, too.
At that juncture Mr.. Rodgers
agreed with me that we would not
buckle down to the Heinze end of
the problem until we had the more
important ends buttoned up.
We had but little discussion about
the matter, for at that time there
had never entered into our calcula-
tions the idea that he would really
hold out for much more than a
million in the face of the alternative
"a battle with Standard OIL"
There finally came a day when
we realized that Heinze was seriously
interfering with our consolidation
plans, and Mr.. Rodgers sent one of
his "slickest" agents to close deal
with him on a basis we felt sure he
would accept. We were astonished
when the agent reported that it
would actually take not a cent less
than three million dollars to remove
Heinze, and that in his (Rodger's
agents. opinion it was more than
an even chance that Heinze would
use the three millions in repeating
the "hold.up" on larger scale.
This agent was one who seldom re-
turned from an excursion without
his game, but we were not discour-
aged, and Mr.. Rodgers said
Lawson. we have. evidently a
more difficult job than ! had ex-
pected. | will have to turn it over
to -" naming one of the Stan
dard Oil" trappers in the blue rib
bon tier. This man took up the
scent and after while returned with
the same report as his predecessor.
One after another of the Standard
Oil" diplomats essayed the job, but
without success, and then we had to
make up our minds that Heinze
was such an unusual proposition that
it was up to Mr.. Rodgers or myself
to tackle him frst-h hand. We talked
over the matter and urged that he
take the contract, for l felt strong
antagonism toward Heinze, and
knew that if he pushed his claims
too high | could not refrain from
calling them blackmail, and that
once we started to row, it would be
knife and AK to the finish. Finally
Mr.. Rodgers agreed, and | called
the job completed, for the master
of Standard Oil" almost never
returns from his dollar hunts without
the fox on a chain, or his brush,
which in this case would be just as
good for our purpose as the animal
alive. They met under very favor
able conditions, and as we sup
posed Heinze's overwhelming an
tagonism would be hattered by the
Standard Dip head stalking to him
direct, we called the battle half won
as soon as they faced each other;
but as we agreed afterward, half
winning was of no account in this
case, for il only made the other
half impossible. BY the time Heinze
got through swelling up at Rodgers
condescension, any sane trade was
out of the question.
lawson" said Mr.. Rogers,
that fellow is one of the few people
on earth who are absolutely impos-
sible. He sees nothing in all the
world but himself. 1t is positively
degrading for a man to be in his
presence. | held myself in and
smothered my self-respect for over
an hour, and we can now make up
our minds we must fight him to a
finish. Never will | attempt to

could not have been more realistic
in his character for tragedy than
was Joe Toole- spineless Joe," as
the Mountaineer says-in his selec-
ton of labor" representatives to
represent the toilers of Montana at
the forth coming national conference
of the Civic Federation.
How a governor of Joe's spineless
courage could ever sit down and ex-
pend so much labor" in culling out
such real types" of labor to go to
the Civic Federation conference is
even a greater task than Atlas per-
formed when carrying the world
around upon his shoulders. How
ably Joe" culled them, will no
doubt give Joe another opportunity
of leasing his name to the ages.
Some men blame Joe for his selec-
tons; but whether it was intentional
or not, Joe could not have made any
better selections if he were to rake
the state over with a potato digger.
The Civic Federation itself is the
most gigantic insult ever offered to
labor in the form of conventional
mockery. Some union men like it,
and most labor leaders" like it.
Every time it meets a tragedy is en-
acted. And for purposes best known
to the initiated, labor is always the
hero" and capital the william
not the vanquished william of the
poet, but the victorious Shylock of
material interests.
The next performance will occur
in New York prior to the Christmas
tide.

perform in the comedy-tragedy are:

1t is not known what parts they
are going to play, but to give the
manager, Mr. August Belmont, a
chance to study their talents in adj
vance so as to enable him to assign
them to their proper parts, it may
not be amiss to mention what they
have accomplished in the past on the
great stage of labor.
l.. p. Benedict is 4 profound

1t was this vile mess we found on
our hands when we took over the
control of the two great Boston
companies. Our predecessors had
had so much fighting that they were

Race Wlth snowsIIde.

Albert 10y staggered into Sumpter
one night recently from the skyline
hills above Bourne. He was weak
from exhaustion and his nerves and
muscles were worn to a frazzle by a
thrilling race down the mountain with
an avalanche of snow 10y won; on
skis he beat the snowslide to the
bottom of the hill, but he wants to
run no more such races.
10y and his son, while coming
down steep slope above Bourne on
skis, started an avalanche, which
gathered mass and momentum be-
hind them until 1t resolved itself into
a question of which shold reach the
bottom of the hill first-the snow
shoers or the snowslide. The snow
was soft and sticky, making travelling
slow; but the travellers, with grim
death roaring at their heels, struck a
gait that broke all records for speed.
They reached the bottom of the gulch
and began to climb the opposite slope.
From a position less than 40 feet from
the bottom they turned to see the av-
alanche crash into the gulch with a
reyerberating roar. 81 wouldn't un-

Buying Up 1905 Wool.

e. II. Clarke buyer for the j. Kosh-

pleted his work of closing contracts
for 700, 900 pounds of wool OF the
Nez Perce county clip of 1905. The
wool was contracted at prices ranging
from Is to l6 cents pounds. Last
years wool clip sold at IL to IL l-2
cents and the high price now realized
for the coming crop is thus shown.
Aside from the contracts closed at
this point Mr.. Clarke has secured
$4,000 pounds of wool at Pomeroy
and 100000 pounds at Dayton. His
company has also secured practically
the entire clip OF the Wallowa coun-
try. the contracts having been closed

IN DIRECTION OF TAX REFORM
s2sOO Cash on the Grant County Tax
Rolls.

II the amount of money in the
hands of the taxpayers of Grant coun-
ty on March /, 1904, was anything
near as small as that indicated by the
roll of last year, Grant
county would be eXperiencin gone OF
the worst financial panics known to
man. The assessment made by I. NJ.
Ray and his deputies last year dis
closed only $2S00 in cash in the entire
county. OF this amount taxpayers of
Willow precinct gave in $175; Warm
Springs precinct, $225; Long Creek
precinct, $500; Hamilton precinct,
800; John Day precinct, 800;
Quartzburg precinct $500; South
Fork precinct, $500. None of the
other precincts In the county had a
single dollar in cash available for as
sessment.
Another noticeable feature of this
part of the assessment is that this
amount is the aggregate of the money
given in by only nine taxpayers.
Some people wonder why Grant
county is i'm debt. 1t is not the fault
of the assessor or any of his deputies
but the taxpayers themselves in with
holding their property from the as

county should show property of the
value of at least $4,000, ,0O0.-Blue
