It appears that the Indians OF that
district have always known OF these
fresh water pearls, and that several OF
the rivers running north have been
regularly fished for them for many
generations. Most of the pearls col
lected by these people in olden times
were ruined by being rudely bored, so
that they might be strung for neck'
laces or for the adornment of wan
pun belts.
Nowadays the wideawake Hudson
Bav company traders pay a fair price
for all the Indians can collect. Some
of ,he Montreal houses have regular
dealings with the pearl hunters OF tic
coast. and have agents on the spo'
who secure shipments for them.

up and screens taken away from the

well as after midnight? The fact is,
if a saloon has curtains up and
screens removed after midnight Sat
urday night there must be something
doing if the curtains are drawn and
screens in place again Sunday morn-

Let the interior of the saloons be
as open TO view all day Sunday as

The threatening labor troubles in
this city, the prediction OF which ap-
peared in the NEWS several months
ago. although denied at that time,
seems to be gaining ground. That
the bosses are looking for some de-
mands TO be made by the men is GER
tain and doubtless they have some
good reasons for their belief. All
this is greatly to be regretted. There
must be a limit to all things and it
seems the present prosperity of the
city should not be interrupted by
strikes or lockouts. Any move made
either side should be carefully
considered. 1t should be remember
ed what effect all labor disturbances
have on business in general. AT
present no definite announcements
have been made and the threatening
cloud may blow away and leave
Perth Amboy with a clear sky. Let
us hope so.

LABRADOR PEARLS.
DESoLATE LAND HAS LITTLE
KNOWN SOURCE OF WEALTH.
Immense Masses of Water Mussels
in Many of Which Jewels Are
Found Choke the
Rivers.

The deep sea fishermen and whale
or seal hunters are about the only
people who know much Of the north
arn Labrador coast, where it runs up
into Hudson bay territory. Barren
ness and d~esolation, rocky shores
beaten by the icy Atlantic, long win
tiers and short, inclement are
its chief characteristics.
There are but few signs of human
life; merely ancient rockbuilt shelters
set up by whalers from Nantucket or
Gloucester. when Greenland whales
were hunted among the icebergs. or
rude seal hunters shanties, where OBJ
s~ervation parties land for a day or
At a time. But curious as it appears.
there is a little known source of
wealth in that lone land.
1t is found in the rushing rivers,
which generally make their last leap
into the ocean over a steep and high
waterfall. The immense masses of
fresh water mussels, which in many
places actually choke the streams. first
directed attention to it in late years.
Men wondered why the old-time
whale or seal hunters and other early
navigators had collected such quaint.
ties of the shells as were to be seen
piled about the camping places. Then
a short search by a well-read ne'er-do.
we'll a few years ago revealed a large,
i~rregularly shaped pearl, under a pile
of old shells. and Immediately a yalu.
able secret was revealed to a few per
sens.
Since that time a certain number
of men have become expert pearl fish
ers, and low shipments are period.
ically. and in summer regularly. made
of pearls. These men make fair wages
by their labors. though of course the
returns vary according to the fortune,
good or bad, which attends the indi-
vidual.
Some of the pearls are large and OF
great value. Last year about this time
one was sold to a New Yorker of rare
discrimination in the purchase OF
curios for upward of 81, 900. In ap.
pearance these fresh water pearls are
not easily distinguished from those OBJ
tained in southern seas. though unfor.
tunately a certain percentage of them
are irregular in shape.
Usually they are silver white in
color; though a young man who has
just returned from Labrador has a
pair of rose pink pearls, perfectly
matched, which weigh about II grains
each and are worth probably $50 or
$40 apiece.
Strangely enough, this lucky one
was not a pearl hunter, but took a
clump of shells in his hand, and sat
down to open them with his pocket
He found the Two pearls in one
shell. After that find he spent
a fortnight in searching for more, but
only secured about half a dozen small
ones, worth perhaps three dollars the
lot.
AS a rule the pearl hunting is gone
about in a more scientific manner
han that. The mussels are regularly
on fiat rocks or sand bars,
and are allowed to decompose, when
he shells open naturally and are east
y examined for the pearls, which lie
oosely embedded in the flesh of the

FRIDAY, JANUARY &c.
GRADE CROSSINGS.

The grade crossing horror at Rah-
way only adds to the already univer-
sal demand that such things shall be
abolished. No matter how much
care is taken accidents will continue
to happen. The railroads know this
vet they consider the loss of a human
life now and then of less consequence
than the amount of money necessary
to abolish the evil.
The railroads generally place men
as gate tenders who are too old and
feeble to do anything else, yet in the
hands of these men rest the lives of
hundreds of people. 1t has often
been noticed in this city that trains
have been almost directly on a cross
ing before the gates have been lower
ed. There has been many a narrow
escape yet the danger continues.
1t has been but a few weeks ago
that a grade crossing horror occurred
at Freehold. The killing of people
goes on all ove the state and yet, be-
cause it would cost the big corpora
tions some money to remedy it,
nothing is done to abolish the death
traps. Here is a chance for the leg
islature to show hat the railroads do
not control the lawmaking in New
Jersey. The question of human life
is of vastly more consequence than
taxation. Pass a bill abolishing all
grade crossings and some step for
ward will have been taken.

MAY VETO STEPHENS BILL
President Not Friendly to Opening
the Big Pasture.

Washington, March 2I.--The
president has about decided that he
will veto the bill which provides
for the opening up of the Kiowa
and Ccmanche reservation of sos,
600 acres. There are 4So 600 acres
of pasture and land and $4,000
acres OF wood reserve.
Word reached Delegate Mcclure
and Representative Stephens today
that such was the intention of the
president. They called on the chief
executive, and had the report con-
firmed. The president indicated
that he proposed to veto the bill be-
cause of objections raised to it by
the secretary Of the interior and the
commissioner of Indian affairs, and
if his callers would remove these OBJ
jections he would gladly withhold
his veto.
The objection of Mr.. Hitchcock
is based on the fact that no provi-
sion Is made for allotment of lands
to children born since 1907. The
objection of Mr.. Leupp was based
on the fact that minimum price
of ST. per acre was proposed, and
he believed that a minimum of SIS
should be providid. Mr.. Stephens
believes that MI. Hitchcock's objec-
tion can be removed through bill
which is now pending in the house
Of representatives,.
