too close to the 'front.'" and stated
that it was with some hesitancy that

that the Rebekahs we're growing fast

Denver, Oct. 16.-Many men
known in the mining industry
throughout the world are gathering
in Denver to attend the convention of
the American mining congress, which
opened today. Extensive reserva
tions have been made in all the no.
tells, and nearly 1900 delegates are
present.
j. H. Richards, of Boise, Idaho,
president of the congress, was in con
ference with other leading men in the
congress, and presided at the opening
session.
This meeting" he said, sis to be
one of the most important held in re-
cent years, and if some OF the mea.
sures we hope to put through receive
the approval of the conrgess as a
whole, there is likely to be some ma
tional legislation to affect the mining
industry in the United States. -
He declared himself as strongly in
favor of national and state legisla-
ton for the promotion and protection
Of legitimate mining. The congress
will transact much business of impor-
lance to the mining industry and
will ask the national congress for the
establishment of a department of
mines and mining with a cabinet
member at its head.

Then Senator Hepburn told his au
dience that the law could not touch
their belief, but that it could deal
with their practices, IL such practices
were unlawful.
''If polygamous relations are being
entered into" he declared. "'you
must compel them to cease. !"
He then declared that he was de-
nying on the stump that the Mormons
act politically at the dictation of the
hierarchy because he had their word
that they would act as free political
agents. Then be turned his meeting
into an old fashioned exhortatiOn
meeti ng and pleaded with the Nor
mons to make his word good, and to
announce through their newspapers
and through all their mediums for
the next four weeks that they were in
no way bound politically TO the heads
of their church.
''The republican party has pursued
you once" he exclaimed, ''and it
will do 50 again IL need be-. i"
Hepburn showed in every word be
uttered and by his whole attitude the
disgust he feels over the position in
which his party is placed. His man
ner showed palmer than words posi-
bly, could his distrlst and disbelief
Of the good faith Of the Mormons in
living up to the manifesto. In max
mig such speech, however. he violRt-
ed the instructions of his state com
mittee, which are that speakers shall
assert positively that the Mormons
are living up TO the manifesto; that
they have ceased to enter new polyga-
nous relations, and that they are po-
litically free. Hepburn refuses to
make these assertions because be
knows they are not true. He is will
ing, however, 20 do so II the Nor
mons themselves will 80 act as 70

There Is serious talk in republican
machine circles Of calling Hepburn
OF the stump. The machine leaders
say he is disgruntled. and that be Is
doing them more harm than good

cheered by those assembled. His
words of welcome were pleasing and
when he presented the visitors with
the key to the city, which he said
would unIoc everything in the city,
including the hearts of its people,
the house broke into wild applause.
The key was large wooden one,
made especially for the the event, be-

bronze.
Mayor Collins was followed by R.
E. Mcfarland, who welcomed the Wis
itors on behalf of the local lodge.
He gave brief history of the organi-
zation, and dwelt on what he termed
its basic principles, Charity and
Brotherly love. His speech was re.
ceived with enthusiastic applause.
Grand Master, j. L. Chapman, of
Lewiston, was then introduced, and
after thanking the city for it's well

Spokane, Wash, Oct. 16-Journey-
men Plumbers union, No. A, called
off yesterday morning the members of
the union who were working for the
James Smyth Plumbing company, be-
cause Mr.. Smyth refused TO dismiss
the men who had returned to work on
the Turner building, DavenPorts and
the Washington Water Power com
pany's barns contrary to the orders
of the union. 1t was generally
thought that the disagreement be-
tween the union and master plum
bers, arising orver the latter favoring
venting in the rough, which is the lat
est method of plumbing, had been
virtually settled at the meeting Of the
union last Wednesday evening, when
a resolution was passed to the effect
that the new plumbing was sanitary
and up TO date. Such is not the
case, however, as yesterday the union
declared war on Smyth's shop and
Smyth in turn has hurled defiance at
the union.
William Simons, the walking dele
gate of the union, went to Mr. Smyth
and demanded that he dismiss all the
men who had returned to work on the
above mentioned buildings in opposi-
ton TO the orders Of the union. This
Mr.. Smyth refused to do.
