BUSINESS lpIocY.

Mr.. Scudder's latest move Is char
acteristic of the man. He seems to
have the knack of antagonizing the
Public upon whom he must depend for
the patronage necessary to the sue
cess of his street railway enterprise,
and he seems utterly oblivious to the
fact that the people of Lincoln are
In no mood to submit to his further
arrogant and dictatorial DEGREES. The
Wageworker believes that Mr.. Scud-
der's street railway is at this moment
operating only by right of present
possession of certain streets, and that
lis company is without franchise.
And it believes that all the Lin
coin Traction company owns in Lin
coin is a lot of dilapidated cars, few
good ones, a lot of inferior rails and
ties and a power house. The first
thing Mr.. Scudder knows he will be
politely requested to take his doll rags
and skip home, and if lie does not dc
1. his doll rags will be sent on ahead
OF him.
II ever a business man has shown
himself short-sighted, that man is Mr..

KEEP PROBING HIM, BOYS

Mr.. Post is mad again. That is very
evident. The labor newspapers cause
him many sleepless night. Keep it
UP, boys. Every time he throws a
spasm he buys big space in the daily
newspapers. And he bays handsomely
for it, too. The printers who set the
type draw good union wages for it.
The money Mr.. Post has to pay for
space in which to print his fulmina-
tons adds materially 10 the revenues
o. the daily newspapers, all of which
employ union labor. By keeping Mr..
Post stirred up we add, therefore, TO
the revenues of our friends, the pub
fishers.
And, too, we have the satisfaction
OF knowing that Mr.. Post is hurt. 1t
takes an awful lot of pressure to get
, the barb under his skin, but there is
plenty of proof that we hook good and
, plenty.
Keep him going! The more money
he spends for newspaper space the less
he will have to buy Easter hats an6
fxings for the ex-stenographer.

Scudder. Where he might have made
friends for himself and money for the
company, he has made enemies land
lost money. Where he might have
added UNNECESSARILY to the upbuild-
ing of Lincoln and thereby profited
himself, he has, by his damphoolish-
ness retarded the city's growth and
lost a lot of good money. AS a sam
pie of his short-sightedness let the
following incident suffice: Last sum-
famous band to Lincoln for three
days engagement at Lincoln park, and
Mr.. Scudder was asked to give small
percentage on the park traffic to assist
in making the engagement profitable.
Had he done so thousands of people
would have visited the park and the
immensely to it's receipts. But Mr..
Scudder said, Mot a cent?" The pro-
moters Immediately stopped all nego-
tiations for the band, and once more

great pleasure because of the pighead-
edness of Mr.. Scudder. That the stock
holders should submit to such foolish
ness is mystery. ,.
The Wageworker had hopes that
when the city council compromised
with the Traction company on those
taxes, the company would proceed to
make good its many fair promises to
the people. Mr.. Scudder's recent ac
ton in enjoining the Citizens COM
pany shows that he is determined to
pursue his old policy of arrogance and
interference.
The exasperated and desperate citi-
zens of Philadelphia once took mat
tiers in their own hands, and by jul
dicious display of ropes and tar fright
ened the council into compelling a
street railway company to do the RICH,
thing. Lincoln people may yet take a
notion to do little track lifting on
their own account. If Mr.. Scudder is
not confirmed in his business idiocy
he will go off into a quiet corner and
DO little bit of thinking.

THE BEGINNING OF VOLUME III.

This issue of The Wageworker begins
Volume Three, which means that this
humble little labor newspaper has
weathered the storms of two years. In
the main they have been very happy
years, too. The unionists of Lincoln
or a majority of them-have been
boosters" for their local labor paper,
and to them the editor is indebted in
generous measure for what little sue
cess has attended The Wageworker.
That it has been successful in estab-
fishing better feeling between differ
ent unions, in arousing men to the
duty of becoming unionists, in cement :
ing friendships, in bringing about a
better unionism, in fostering a con-
stantly increasing demand for the
union label-that The Wageworker has
been instrumental in all these good
things it firmly believes, and it is will
ing to abide the verdict of the union
men and women of Lincoln. And that
1t has done those things is due to the
and women.
The Wageworker has but one prom
Use to make. 1t promises it's continued
fealty to the principles of unionism
those principles. 1t has many friends
hundreds of them to boost" 1t
doesn't think enough Of it's enemies to
"knock" against them. What The
Wageworker has been in the past is
only an earnest of what it will be in
the future.
The Wageworker started out in life
without much promise. 1t was found
ed on the ruins of a half-dozen col
lapsed labor papers. 1t asked neither
favor nor bonus-all it ever asked for
was the support of union men and
women If it deserved support. And it
expressed a willingness to abide the
time when it's worthiness was demon
strated. 1t has lived two years. Dur
ing the last twelve months no weekly
edition has fallen below 1000, AMI
the average per week for the fifty-two
weeks ending April 6, 1906, was in ex-
cess of 1900. The Wageworker sub
mits these figures and facts as evidence
that it proved it's worthiness.
With Astounding good will towards
: ali men who are striving to make bet
ter the lot of the toiler, with abund-
ant charity for those who selfishly
seek to unduly profit by the misfor-
tunes of their fellows, and with the
belief that
Gods in His heaven;
All's right with the world"
The Wageworker enters upon it's third
year with confidence, and will do the
very best it knows how.

The merchant who does not strive
to secure union made goods does not
deserve the patronage Of union men.
Let union men make their power felt
by ignoring the merchants who re-
fuse to make an effort to get union
made goods.

have a warrant sworn out for her
arrest a freight train pulled into the
yards and stood on the track near
Chestnut street Attired in mans
clothing she jumped the journals and
rode to the Wenas siding when she
was driven from her hiding place
by the cold night air and while at
tempting to get into box car was
recognized by Brakeman Fred Ian,
as the disguised hold up woman who
was wanted by the officers in this
city. AS requested by Officers
Buckley and Sterrit, the train crew
notified the Ellensburg authorities
by a letter of information addressed
to the chief of police at Ellensburg.
The letter through some mishap was
miscarried and was not received in
time to enable the authorities there
to apprehend her when she got off
the train. At Wenas station, when
questioned by the train crew, she
admitted robbing the Jap and that
she was the woman who was wanted
by the officers here. 1t is known,
however, that she is still in Ellens-
burg.

PANAMA CANAL Be
BUILT BY CONTRACT
MEETS PRESIDENTS APPROVAL
But he is Going Down and See How
Things Are Coming on.
After Election.

WASHINGTON. Oct Sit has
been finally decided that the Pana-
ma Canal IS 10 be completed by con-
tract. In few days the commission
Will make public a statement set
ting forth its reasons for favoring
the contract system and the form
of the contract will probably be pub
lished, showing exactly the sort OF
document believed by the commits
sioners TO be necessary for safe
guarding the work.
The president is known to sup
port the commission in its position
that the work can be done more sat
istfactorily by contractors than by
the government This change in
building the canal will in no way
effect the employment Of Chinese
labor.
President Roosevelt still intends
to visit the Isthmus this fall and I'M
less there be some change for the
worse in the Cuban situation he will
probably leave for Colon a short time
after election

rules laid it out on scientific prinei-
pies and it has the appearance of be-
ing as near perfect as can be made.
He believes he has covered every
point that can be raised by placer
miners in this machine and the dem
onstrations certainly bear him out.
Mr.. Sanford will be general manager
of the company in its field opera
tons. The company has done con-
siderable prospecting in the way of
available placer ground and have Il
number of places in view where ma
chimes will be installed at an early
date

THE REASON WHY
We so strongly Endorse and Rec.
onimend vinol to the People of
North Iakima

our local druggist, Mr.. Fred L..
Janeck, says: We do not believe
there is man. woman or child in
North Yakima whom our famous cod
liver preparation, Vinol, viii not
benefit AT this season of the year
I'VE believe there is no need for
so many people 10 drag around run
down, tired out and debilitated, or
for old people to remain weak and
infirm when We guarantee Vinol will
restore health and strength
Continued Mr.. Janeck: For cen
turtles cod liver oil has been recog
niZed as the srandest OF all body
building agents for wasted human
strength and vitality, but on account
Of the nauseating and system-clog
ging oil which envelopes its curative
properties few could take it with
benefit.
In Vinol YOU get in concentrat-
ed form every one OF the curative
and strength-creating elements of
Gods livers. the useless, system-clog
ging oil eliminated, and tonic iron
added
"Vinol is guaranteed by over five
thousand OF the leading druggists of
the United States to create strength
for old people. for the rundown,
tired and debilitated, weak, sickly
women and children, and after a Sc
we're sickness
I'VE ask every person in North
Yakima to try Vinol. 1t costs nothing
if it fails" Fred l.. Janeck, Drug
gist.
Note-While we are sole agents
for Vinol in North Yakima, it is now
for sale at the leading drug store in
nearly every town and city in the
country. Look for the Ninol agency
in your town.

SHOWS FINE GOLD
FROM THE SWAUK
RUNS $1,000 TO TON BY ASSAY
Three Foot Ledge, About 1900 Feet
Long-Varies in Form From
Leaf Gold to Nuggets.

There is on exhibition in Frank X.
Nagler's cigar store some of the
finest specimens or quartz that has
ever been taken out of any ledge
in this section of the country. The
specimens are taken from the Swauk
Gold Quartz Mining company's mine
which is located Is miles east OF
Gle Elum. Numerous assays have
been taken and it runs 900 to
the ton. Some of the assays have
run many times more than this, but
this is said to be fair average OF
the ledge which is three feet wide
and is estimated TO be about 1900
feet long. The gold shows itself in
the form of leaf gold. Some of the
leaves ranging from half inch to
an inch square. In other places It
shows itself in the form of nuggets.
All through the rock an abundance
of gold can be seen.
The mine was located about a
month and half ago by J. Mikesell.
Shortly afterward he sold out his in
terests to a number of local men,
all of whom feel confident that they
have one of the richest mines in
this section. 1t is on the Williams
creek, tributary of the Swauk
stream.
The ledge was discovered almost
at the crest of the hill and runs
nearly straight down. "A feet below
this point tunnel is being con-
structed, which when completed will
be about 60 feet long. Midway be-
tween the point Oh discovery and the
commencement of the tunnel another
ledge has been discovered. The ex-
tent of this latter ledge has not
been ascertained.
This is by no means new dis
covery. In 1887 claim was staked
out here by some unknown parties.
Later a tunnel was started and was
run in the side of the hill % feet
and apparently was afterwards aban-
doned The present owners are con.
tinuing this tunnel Had the orig
inal parties continued the tunnel 35
or 40 feet more they would have
struck the bonanza.
Within the next two weeks the
tunnel will be completed. AS soon
as that is done larger force of men
will be put work and two more tun-
nels will be run. Then the work of
undermining the rich lodges that lie
above will be commenced on large
scale.

APPLE N.RkEr oI-TTooI, coon
Conditions Have Materially Improved
YER u Month Ago.

Very naturally growers are much
interested in the outlook for the APP
pie market The market under CON
sideration may be one to which we
do not expect to send any of our ap-
pies. yet if il takes large quantities
from other sections of the country ii
relieves the pressure in our own mar
ket. In this way We are interested
in the foreign apple market. 1t is
true that certain kinds of our apples
laways find a ready sale in the Eng
lsh markets. This leaves us with
certain kinds to market nearer
! home. If the foreign markets take
these apples from orr eastern shores
md from the Mississippi valley, it
prevents these cheaper grades from
coming to the north west and leaves
that field 10 us. No one would think
Of shipping Ben Davis apples to any
european market from the Pacific
coast But the Fruit Trade Journal
and Produce Record of New York
says that already Ben Davis apples
are being shipped 10 Europe from
New York and that large quantities
will be shipped from the middle west.
This is good news for any one who
has this apple 10 sell in the north
western states
What of the apple market outlook
for the Pacific northwest? 1t is good
much better than it was a month
or two ago. The apple buyers have
tried very hard 10 make out that the
crop is phenomenal this year But
they are met by reports from the
growers that show their estimate is
far from being correct. An apple
dealer recently called the Rural New
Yorker TO account for showing that
the apple crop is not phenomenallv
large This apple dealer says that
the crop this year is the largest ever
produced in America. The editor of
this staunch and reliable paper comes
| back at this dealer in this fashion,
sc are in constant communication
with hundreds of the best apple
growers in the country. and we print
their reports as they come. Our only
object is TO learn the truth We do
not know of any class of men better
able to judge conditions than those
who report to us. and we stand by
their statements" have read more
or less of the statements referred to
from the growers and am free to say
that they do not give support to the
position maintained by this apple
dealer. Who is to be believed?
certainly agree with the editor of the
Rural New Yorker that the growers
are much better prepared TO give a
correct statement as to the condition
of the apple crop and, therefore,
would stand by their statement-F.
Walden in The Ranch.
