there be one, and 1 am more than ever
persuaded tonight that there is one"
But Mr.. Reid gave the entire ad-
dress to the audience of outsiders
which were present as he said he
would. The keynote of his excellent
talk was that labor and the church
were natural allies and had worked
together and should understand each
Other better.
The church had always stood for
lessening of hours in fighting for one
day of rest for the toiling man from
Jewish times to the present. Again
the excellent child labor laws in most
of the states had been the result of
the combined efforts of organized Ia

women in the industrial world through
the granting of equal wages and the
elimination of the sweatshop in part
The church has also been a partner
in this work.

Rev. Reid spoke of the enormous
growth of the liquor traffic and the
hundreds of millions of dollars which
the laboring man was spendingwhIct.
he could least afford to spend. He said
that if all the membership of the
churches would combine with the vo-
ters in organized labor they could
stamp out this iniquity.
The speaker then took up what he
regarded as false panaceas for the bad
industrial conditions of today and cas-
tigated socialism with an unsparing
hand, saying:
genus homo in this country would it
not be an unwise thing to multiply
to the public tills. If the populace are
not to be intrusted with the ref1s

are now in their hands, what evidence
have we that they would be more
faithful if we extended their authori-
ty"
The speaker closed with a strong
showing that the future welfare of la
Dor depended on the individual being
possible through Christianity and
made a fervent appeal to his hearers
higher power and future rewards and
punishments could there be true
brotherhood of man.

81 cannot but be disappointed that
those whom we did invite here this
evening are not here, nor does this
mean that l think those that are here
equally appreciative as those
hoped might be here" were the bitter
words with which Rev. J. c.. Reid
opened his able address on labor
unionism last night at the Presbyte-
rian church. The sermon had been
prepared in honor of Labor Sunday
set apart for this purpose by the last
general assembly of the Presbyterian
church and the Walla Walla Trades
and Labor council had been invited to
be present in a body. The council had
accepted the invitation and when the
speaker glanced about his audience
and saw but small handful of the
sons of toll scattered about his audi
ence he could not but show his bitter
disappointment.

COOK INLET sTRIKE

A rich placer strike on the western side of Ilenai peninsula back about fifteen miles in the interior from Nenelchuk, has started stampede to the diggings, which are on Deep creek and Bat creek, tributary of Deep creek, according to the Seward Gate, way. It is reported that 50 cent pans are regularly taken ont.
 Miners from various places along the Inlet and Turnagain Arm have hocked in there until few days ago about 10O men were on the ground and the num- Der was constantly increasing although the first arrivals were careful not to spread the news. The Inlet steamer Neptune was beached at Nenelchuk by the captain and crew while they went to Deep creek to stake ground.
 The original discovery was made by an old Russian named John Rash evnikey of Nenelchuk. He contided the facts to Chris Hansen,a we'll known Inlet miner and prospector, aud the two went to the place together. Han sen soon found that the strike was a rich one, as he repeatedly banned 50 cents and took 15 cents from an ordi- nary shoyelful.
 Hansen and Kasheynihey staked claims and went to work In a short time Hansen appeared at Seldovia with S20O in dust and exchanged it for an outfit and returned. In the meantime news of a discovery had percolated through the Inlet camps and the stam- pede was on.
 The region is described as beauti- ful country with low rolling hills. Nenelchuck is a Russian settlement of about 30 families short distance up the Inlet from Anchor Point, where beach diggings have been worked with some success for several years. The Russians hold aloof from the natives and other whites and pay little atten tion to mining.

A gold qnartz strike made by pros pectors engaged by Lieut.. Walter $. Brown of the Teuth Infantry, has ex- cited the citizens of Haines. Mount Ripinsky is being staked right and left and excellent assays have been received from the ore, which has been sent to Juneau assayers for examination. The claims were originally staked as iron properties, and samples of the ore sent to duncan to secure the opinion of ex- pert assayers. The returns showed S14 per ton iu gold. The assayer advised that the claim owners disregard the iron values and treat the ore for gold. The stalking was renewed with interest when the report of the asssyer was re- ceived. Most of the officers of the Tenth Infantry at Fort William H. Seward and many of the citizens of Haines have claims. Lieut.. Brown, however, is the heaviest owner of claims. He secured many from prirates whom he paid from $50 to $50 claim Lieut.. Brown has enlisted capital and will install l0-stamp mill at once. He is shipping ore south for the purpose of securing a mill test. Lieut.. Browns father is one of the big stockholders in the United States Steel Corporation, He instructed his son when he learned that he was leaving for the north to keep his eye open for iron properties. This injunction is what led the army officer to have Mount Ripinsky pros pected. It is said there are millions of tons of ore in sight such as that from which the Sl4 assay was secured. .-Skag- way Alaskan.

INDIAN pRoDIGAL,s RETURN

Solomon Homer, the brilliant Choc' Jaw Indian, said at his home in Caddo that he needed to be very intelligent, and industrious Indian who would go out into the world and make name.
 "Many Indians he said, "go out into the world and some of them, of course, succeed. Those who fail return home; and that is a sad returning, for every one sneers at the young man whom the world has conquered and driven back.
 at is not much of a welcome that the returned Indian gets, even in his fath, CTS house.
 "There was Black Eagle, Choctaw. He went to Chicago, failed and came back home. But he was afraid to go to his fathers house till an old man said:
 "'Are you going to your fathers, Black Eagle?"
 "T don't know,' answered the youth.
 "'Go there said the old man, for you will be very welcome. There is no doubt of it.
 "Heartened little, Black Eagle did go to his fathers, and the next day he met the old man again.
 "The old man smiled kindly.
 "'So the prodigal returned he said And did yoar father kill the fatted ealf?'
 .' 'No,' Black Eagle answered, he didn't kill the fatted calf, but he near ly killed the prodigal.' '"-Kansas City Journal.

toes, puff out their breasts and finally
part with more nodding and bowling,
only to come together again and repeat
the performance. Occasionally three

"The Swat braves went to Windsor

Queen Victoria. They were very gra-
ciously received. One of their number
began to speak, and an interpreter fol
lowed him phrase by phrase. we come,
o great mother he said, to bring to

thy knees; fold him to thy breast Here
the queen, half frightened, exclaimed:
But where Is the child? | don't see

time bringing forward n big black

The story Of II Famous Phrase.

All the world knows the remark Of
the governor of North Carolina to the
governor of South Carolina, ITS Il
long time between drinks" The true
history Of this famous anccdotc was
told by II South Carolinian. II appears
that the phrase was first heard ut a
political dinner when the governors
Of both North and South Carolina were
present. The first governor had deliv-
cred n fiery political speech. The stu
alton was intense when the turn came
for the governor of South Carolina TO
speak. 1t seemed that any word the
governor might say would complicatc
the situation. Even should he keep ST.
lent his opinion would seem clear. 1t
was Mt this critical moment that the
governor Of the other Carolina rose
and, inspired by n stroke of genius, re-
marked. It's n long time between
drinks" The absolutely noncommit-
tai remark saved the situation.

FIGHT DUEL WITH, PICKS
Refugees Disputing Over Tent Rights
Engage In Deadly Battle
in San Francisco

BY Associated Press. !.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 25.-Refugees
in dispute over tent rights dueled with
pick-axes in Columbia square.
The battle was to be to the death and
ended only when Edward Kilcline fell
mortally wounded by William Bell.
Kilcline lay upon the rain-soaked
sward, the blood gushing from his
wounds. All the ribs on the right side
were fractured and the poniard-like
point of Bells pick had pierced his
side, puncturing the lung.
Bell was arrested as he stood over
Kilcline's PROSTATE form with his
weapon raised for another blow.
No charge will be placed against him
until the outcome of the fray is known,
but the physicians say that Kilcline will
surely die.
The battle arose when the rain came
on and each claimed the right to move
his tent to a plot of ground higher than
the rest and affording dry flooring dur
ing the storm. Each seized a pick to
drive the other from the coveted site,
and before the other campers realized
that there was a quarrel the steel
points of the picks were clashing at
each combatant, swung for a vital spot.
Before the quarrel. 1t Is said, the men
were the best of friends.
