1URRET STILL STICKS UP
Visitor from Cuba Says Evidences Of
Battleship Maine Still Remain
Cuban Situation.

One of the travelling men who makes
this city regular every month is l..
S. Gilmore representing a st. Paul
tobacco house. Mr.. Gilmore for years
worked for his company out of Tampa,
Fla. and during his time in that Sec
ton of the country had many occasions
to visit Cuba. He is of the opinion
that the Cuban trouble over which
great fuss has been made during the
past month is not so bad as reported.
Speaking to a group of friends in
local sample room today Mr.. Gilmore
had the following to say:
II don't believe the trouble over
there will become so serious as peo-
pie in general seem to think. The
island is likely to continue peace
full. Three-fourths of the population
of the island are Americans, AMI
there is not question but that the
island belongs to the United States.
Cuba offered to trade the permanent
title to two coaling stations in Cuba
for it. The United States is paying
$4,000 year rent to Cuba for two coal
ing stations. These stations were
built in swamps, and when the United
States took the locations they were
not worth any more than SO much
blue sky. The stations are ours so
long as we continue to pay rent for
them.
Cuba has but small number of
people that we would call the middle
class. There are the rich. the very
rich. and the very poor, with few in
between. The Spanish residents and
the Cuban descendants of Spainards
are the controlling people in Cuba,
and are the two In trade who are doing
we'll. Conditions for carrying on the
business are entirely satisfactory, and
| DO not see that they would gain any
tnlng being annexed to the United
States.
The poor people think their con-
dition would be improved under the
United States government. They un-
derstand that we pay our laborers big
wages and they think that If their
island belonged to US, they would re-
ceive higher wages. Labor conditions
have improved since the Spanish.
American war. Under the Spanish
rule laborers on sugar or tobacco
plantations got about IS cents day,
American money, and usually took out
their wages In trade. Many on those.
plantations did not receive SO much.
The wages now are about double
what they were then, or little more,

SITUATION EASIER.
Employment Agents Say Scarcity Of
Help Is Over.

According to employment agents,
who keep in close touch with the lab
or world, the situation is at the pres
ent time easy. Most of the threshing
is completed at the present time. The
demand for railroad laborers is still
good and more men are seeking that
kind of work than a week or two ago.
Contractors having ditching to do and
street work, find it easier to secure

Contractors find it difficult to secure

had than few weeks ago.

and instead of getting clerkship
paying $75 a month, which was as
much as he hoped for, be became chief
clerk in the lanU. commissioners Office
at salary of 81, 500 a year for the
first two years and 81, 800 a year for
the second two years, after the name
of his position was changed by legis-
lative enactment to assistant state
land commissioner" and he became
ex-officio arid land commissioner.
When employed as chief clerk at
ST. 800 he performed some service as
arid land commissioner by appoint
ment of, Gov. Mcbride and brought
suit against the state and secured and
collected judgment of 81, 937 for his
services in that capacity. 1t was
during this period also that he made
his land graft in Skagit county out OF
which he secured 50, 100, making the
nice sum of $11,637 obtained by this
thrifty state employee in four years,
besides some other perquisites, in
Guiding a trip to Washington at state
expense.
He boasts that he has done nothing
of which he is ashamed. That is
probably true, for what he has done
is shameless. The penitentiarie s OF
the country swarm with men who
have no regrets for the crimes which
brought them there and who quickly
and without remorse return to their
dishonest ways when given an oppor-
tunity.
It is not charged that M Murray
has been guilty of any crime in the
eyes of the civil law, but simply that
he has been guilty of a gross breach
of public trust which, unfortunately,
the law does not reach. If a major
ity Of the people of this county desire
to again honor him with public po-
sition of trust they # course can do
so, but whatever may be the result of
his effort to displace an honest man
in the treasurer's office, this much is
true-his political grave as a Repub-
lican is dug and he will go to it Gun
wept, unhonored and unsung.'
Following the Murray eruption
other candidates on the Shultz ticket
spoke briefly and temporarily. G. B.
Buxton and L. B. Carter also made
a few remarks, Mr.. Carter gleefully
pleading ''guilty' to what he called
the "charge' that he had been chief
ly instrumental in starting another
paper in the county and in splitting
the Republican party, in which he
himself has always been guerrilla.
Mr.. Shultz was not there and not a
word was said by anyone in favor of
his candidacy that ought to have a
particle of weight with any thought

= Hofer. ut can be made a very
lively club, even with only few
members present at each meeting.
Salem is now at the point where 1t
cannot go backward. We must push
ahead. We are sending too many
people out of the city, who have al
ready settled here, and tried to be
content with conditions, but they
finally drift into more progressive
communities, and we are doing moth
ing to hold them. 1t is simply a
matter of personal energy, and each
of MS can certainly devote some of
our time, thought and attention to
promote the welfare of the country
upon which we all depend for a
livelihood, and, incidentally, our own
welfare and interests" Mr.. Hofer
closed with citing the great benefits
to be derived even by social organi-
cations, and cited as instances the
case of Pasadena, California, which
although only about 10 miles from
Los Angeles, developed and pros
pered until it now has a population
of about 10000 souls. and is still
growing.
Gideon Stolz did not believe that
the sole work of the club should be
devoted to sending out pamphlets
and literature. He urged that the eff
forts of the organization be centered
upon the establishment of permanent
headquarters for the club where a
creditable display of the varied re-
sources of the county and central
valley may be kept on display the
year round, and where the stranger
may be rendered hearty welcome,
and the virtues of climate and coun-
try pointed out to him in a favorable
Hight. He contended that Salem had
lost the greater portion of the immi-
grafton on account of the seeming In
dinerence displayed by the people
!, to prospective settlers. and contend
ed that some steps should be taken
to afford them suitable entertain
ment upon their arrival here. He al
so urged cooperation with the coun-
ty administration in the collection of
n display of the varied products of
the county.
