FOUR DOLLAR CAMP.
Miners Of Fairyiew Want $3.50. But
Operators Not Inclined 20 Pay II.

According 10 information that comes
fromFairyieW the miners Of the camp
are meeting with some opposition froni
the operators IN the matter Of fixing
the wage scale. The men wish 10 re-
tain the $3.50 scale while the employers
say they can't afford TO open up and
develop their mines unless the scale
Is reduced 10 at least 81 a day
Il think the matter viii be amicably
settled, said r. l. Stewart 10 the Reno
Gazette. The miners are wen organ
lied and | think are In a position TO en-
force their demands. but their leaders
want 10 have harmony Last week the
matter was threshed over several times
and while a couple OF operators threat
ened 10 close down all work / hardly
think any OF the larger companies VII
do this.
Just now Fairview Is an expensive
camp IN which 10 live. Consequently
the miners demand higher wages than
are paid in the southern country As
soon as the railroad gets into FallOn
and there Is better freight service
into the camp the cost Of board ami
lodging VIII necessarily decrease.
III the men enforce the $3.50 a day
schedule II would not surprise me to
see It cut 10 81 within the year.
Mr. Stewart says the Western Fed
Grafton Of Miners has a membership IN
Fairylew Of about go or go men
and that practically every mine IN the
district employs none bur unionlsts.

At this moment the telephone rings
and a second later it is announced that all
over the city an alarm has been sent out
for a small girl, answering TO the name
of Elizabeth and wearing a white coat
with erninc cap and blue velvet leggnrs,
who has golden curs and has strayed away
from her nurse in an uptown shop
There's difference, remarks the Of
ficer when he has received the message
when child like this Is missing. There
is no delay then, no waiting until at night
or the next day,
in less than an hour after the child's
absence is noted an exact description is
in every station house and the child itself
is probably in the care of the matron al
the nearest cne. Every nurse should be
instructed '0ok there first before soaring
a family to death.
Most of the lost children come from
the congcsted parts Of town and in those
districts the mothers after the frst en-
percnCc take the matter very coolly We

family had all died ont or moved away.
He knew no one there, and there seemed
not hing for it but to go to work and get
money enough to get out. The only husl-
ness except that Of farming was tanning,
so Hovey went to work among the watts.
He emerged triumphant in few weeks,
none the wors4a for his experience, and fell
to writing verses with even greater enthu-
siaSm.
Hovey died quite suddenly, after short
illness Some of the verses he wrote While
in college have a leading place in the COL
lege's books OF verse, and among these
there is nothing finer than the song he
wrote for his own class, beginning Eighty
FIVE thy name is as a cheer.
For it's always fair weather. goes the
chorus of the "Stein Song" when good
fellows get together, with a stein on the
table and good song ringing clear, and
80 it certainly was with Hovey during his
college days Absence of money never
bothered him much, apparently.
There are some who remember him APP
pearing on the campus one spring day
wearing knickerbockers, an outing shirt
and plug hat Some one asked him why
he wore the stovepiie with such other gear
He remarked s,nilingly that the only other
hat he had was gone. Somehow the i'm

college for dramatic speaking, giving Poe's
Raven" one year in IA fashion that those
who heard il have not yet forgotten. He
gave his Greek lines easily and with dra-
matte force that showed he loved them,
and d,monst rated also that he understood
them. He reached the end of his fifteenth
line and paused for moment,
ANY more, Mr.. Hovey;" said he pro-
fessor.
For reply Hovey continued, Twenty,
twenty-five, thirty. The class Interrupted
here and raised such rumpus that the
professor had finally to rap for order. To
make n long story short, Hovey was still
reciting Greek when the clock struck the
