breakers" but decent citizens who
want to work without restraint, and
who sometimes cannot afford to pay
union dues and assessments. But
strikes have produced "strike-breakers"
OF the type employed by Mr.. James
Farley, the professional strike-breaker.
They are the bad kind whom union
men refer to as, "the scabs always
looking for decent mans job" They
comprise the labor adventures, most
of whom are chemically without jobs,
and often without countries, willing
to 60 where there is danger. There is
the same distinction between the un-
ions as between the men. For
example, the Brotherhood Of Locomo-
tive Engineers requires character as
requisite to membership as well as
ability to handle throttle. The men
of the Teamsters' Unions are of
much lower grade.
The recent printers strike resulted
in complete victory for the publish
ers, or employers. Up to the time of
the strike, the international Typo
graphical Union in all of their agree
ments with the publishers had been
for the closed shop and nine-hour
day. This union decided to demand
an eight-hour day at the nine-hour
wage scale, and the continuance of the
closed shop. This demand was every
where followed by refusals. In Chi
cago such firms as r. r. Donnelly &
Sons Company and Rand, Men ally &
Co., immediately began to fill their
shops with nonunion men. They es-
tablished labor bureau and with it
school for compositors, both men and
women. There are now in these shops
five hundred and sixty-two nonunion
operators at work. At Atlanta, st.
Louis, Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincin-
natl, Rochester and Omaha, the en-
ploying printers squarely refused to
accede and the shops are now run by
nonunion men,
The employer has learned the value
of organized opposition to excessive
union demands and is securing con-
troll of his shop or business. The
power of the walking delegate as a
disturber of peace and industry is
passing. The nonunion worker now
knows that he can be protected in his
constitutional right to work where he
pleases. Organized labor is on the de-
fensive instead of the offensive. The
labor agitator has been taught to
respect the law. The employers do
not maintain nor wish that labor
unions should be destroyed; nor do
they question the right of temperate
and constructive organization. They
have proved, too, that the union
and the nonunion man can work in
peace side by side under free and fair
conditions. This is industrial democ-
racy. c. w. F.

Of cleanliness. In spite Of his
love for the cup that both cheers
and inebriates, Terry was rarely
incapacitated. He belonged to q
race Of hard drinkers, and used to
boast that there wasn't enough of
old John Seagram's in the town
to put him on his back.
One day, while plying his trade
in the much-despised water, the
news came that England was at
war with the Beers, and that
Canada was to send regiment of
mounted rifles to South Africa.
The N. w. M. P. station, at Cedar
Creek, was to be q recruiting sta
ton. And Terry knew no peace
of mind until he had enlisted. An
other man mounted the water
wagon, and Terry, amid the ac-
claim of the populace, boarded the
train with his fellow recruits, and
was whirled away toward Halifax.
Some months later, among the
dispatches sent to the War Office
in London, from South Africa, was
one mentioning for special merit,
one Sergeant Terence Hanrahan,
of the Canadian Mounted Rifles.
Terry had been attached to a body
of scouts, and had been remark
able success. For stalking the
enemy, or ascertaining the strength
of their defences, he had no equal.
He was as much at home on the
veldt, as he had been on the water
wagon in Cedar Greek.
When his period of enlistment
had expired, he returned to Cana
da wearing on his. breast the med
al of the Disting uished Service
Order. Now the D. S. O. is almost
next in desirability to the V. c.,
and Sergeant Hanrahan received
much attention from the Canadian
press.
Had his thirst abated? Not a
particle. On the contrary, it had
assumed dangerous proportions.
But, before it could work him any
serious evil, Terry was offered, by
the British War Office, commits
sion as lieutenant of scouts. So
he went back to South Africa and
there remained until the close of
the war. His bravery and valu-
able services generally, brought
him promotion to the rank of cap
tain, and as such he returned in
the winter of 1902, to Cedar Greek.
Soldering is peculiar occupa-
ton, in that it affords ample op-
portunity for the development of
any trait or inclination, whether
good or bad. And Terry Han
rahan, captain of scouts, returned
to the country of his choice, a
confirmed drunkard. On active
service in the field he had been of
necessity sober. But after the
taking of Pretoria and on the way
home, his thirst held full sway.
OF course the general public knew
nothing of this. They knew him
only as the hero who had brought
honor to his country. And he
WAS hero and good fellow, as
kind hearted man as ever donned
| the khaki.
He did not 60 to work when he
arrived at Cedar Greek. He had
plenty of money to last for some
time. He spent his time telling
yarns to the cowboys and others
who dropped in at the American
Hotel. And he was rapidly drink
ing himself to death.
Several good friends Of Terry's
met in consultation one day, and
the result was that the ex-captain

An Encounter With
- a Cow Moose.

/ have read stories wherein men
were pursued or freed by vari-
GUS kinds Of wild beasts; but I
don't think any animal is more
dangerous or fercer-looking antag-
onist than an infuriated moose.
The writer once had an expert
ence with such a moose, which
was far from being enjoyable. I
was fishing in small lake in the
early spring The fish were not
biting, SD I stuck the end of my
pole into the bank and was watch
ing squirrel that was running
about on a skidway of logs some
ten or fifteen rods away from
where I sat. There was an open
space about six feet wide on each
side of the skidway and the width
of the logging road in front.
There were three tiers of logs on
the skids, and the skids were
blocked up about two feet from
the ground.
I had been watching the squirrel
some time when I was startled by
an excited whisper at my elbow.
It was the camp-watcher's boy, and
he was saying: Look! Look!
pointing at spot in the woods on
the opposite side of the road from
the skidway. I couldn't see any,
thing there, but he told me to lie
fiat on the ground, that he saw
something poke it's head out of
the brush. I complied with his
request, and soon an old COW
moose and calf came out and
went down to the water to drink.
The calf was too young to drink
water, but the COW. after quench-
ing her thirst and feeding the
calf, seemed to hold a quiet con-
versation with it; after which it
walked over to one of the open
places beside the skidway and lay
down. After watching a moment
the COW disappeared in the woods.
No sooner had the swapping of
twigs ceased than my young friend
declared he would have that calf.
We took my fishline to tie it with
and cautiously worked our way
thru the brush to where it was
hidden. I was to catch and hold
it while the, young lad tied
its legs. I approached from the
opposite side of the skidway,
crawled over the logs and jumped
astraddle of the calf. Altho it
was real young it was hard to hold
and my companion had difficult
task in tying it's legs. He had
just secured one foot when it
found it's voice, and how it did
squeal and blat! Then we heard
the old COW coming, and had just
time to get under the skidway
when she broke thru the bushes
on the other side of the road.
We were not quite quick enough,
for she saw us and charged our
stronghold with mouth wide open
and ears laid back. The first time
she was not very successful, 80 she
went back a few feet and paved
dirt. Then she came back and
pounded the logs with her front
feet. She rolled several logs
down and stamped and snorted
around until she was tired, when
I supposed she would have gone
away, had not her calf got the
fishIine tangled in the brush. As
it was she kept US in our cramped
position about four hours, when
the calf broke the fshline and they
both left. / tried to make the

Act-AcH0n.

An act is the simple exertion of
physical or mental power. An
action is continual exertion of
the faculties. An action takes up
more time than an act Many
acts make up an action. We set
about doing kind action, viz, to
reconcile two friends. Many acts
are REQUISITE to effect this purpose:
e. g., the act of speaking to both
parties; the act of walking, per-
haps, from one to the other, etc.
There is this difference between
an act of folly and a foolish ac-
ton; an act of folly is one in
which folly is represented as the
impulse; foolish action is one in
which is qualified or specified as
such when done. The degree of
our merit depends upon our ac-
tions, not upon our acts. Acts
are single; actions habitual.

Angussh-Ag0uy.

A struggling against pain is the
idea common to both these words.
Agony denotes the bodily feeling,
whilst anguish regards the state of
mind. The throbbing of wound
produces agony; a mother feels
anguish at the idea of being sep
arated from her child. The word
agony is used in a secondary
sense to express the climax of
any state Of feeling, as found in
the expressions, IAN agony Of
doubt, an agony of suspense" etc,
-. &, the highest possible state
Of painful doubt or suspense.

Lost Pd6k6r.

General Manager James Ivers
of the Lost Packer, says the Salt
Lake Herald, accompanied by E.
G. Rowe, the Chicago director
of the company, returned from
that Idaho proposition yesterday
morning, both highly elated over
conditions as they found them,
but each inexpressibly mortified
because of an accident that nee
essitated the closing down of the
new mating smelter a few hours
after it was blown in. The plant
was fired up and when the metal
began to flow from the furnace
it soon became evident that the
plant, instead of reducing so tons
of ore per day, could be depend
ed upon to chew up not less than
200 tons. The metal had been
flowing for just three hours when
some one of the workmen about
the place unintentionally dis
arranged one of the water taps
in the jacket near the metal
spout and trouble began in a
moment. In almost no time the
jacket had burned out around
the spout and the initial run OF
the plant was at an end. Before
repairs can be made new parts
will have to be secured in Con,
necticut, a new crew will have
to marshalled and the furnace
partially rebuilt. All of this,
Manager Iyers figures, would
take so much time that winter
would be upon them and that
fact, coupled with the fact that
it is almost impossible to get ar
adequate crew of men together
to keep the smelter running dur
ing the winter months, has de
cided not to attempt another
start until next spring.
I'm the three hours that the
furnace was running, after th'
first metal came through th'
spout, said Mr.. Ivers, "a littl,
over nine tons of matte wa
made. The value of that pro
duct was such that during thos
three hours we were rolling ou
of that little spout better tina
$1,000 per hour. That little ru
demonstrated that, instead c
having 50-ton plant, we hav
one that will take care ofnot les
p, than 200 tons of ore per day.
During Mr.. Iver's stay at cam
, it was decided to build a ne
road to the mouth of what
. known as No. Z tunnel, the Low
est on the property.

Ogden men are apparently get
ting as sure and safe foothold
in the rich gold regions of Idaho
as they are in California and the
gold regions of Nevada. G. H.
Jones, of Ogden, with an expert
ance in the mines of nine states,
is back after an absence of some
months in Stanley Basin. He
was the organizer, with Ogden
capital, of the Single Gold Stan
dard Gold Mining company. He
states that on the Good Luck,
one of the claims, where a shaft
has been sunk but % feet, the
entire bottom of the shaft is in
ore and that it carries one and
one-hal ounces of gold per ton,
in addition to six ounces of sill
yer, and have obtained in the
Little Pete values as high as 104
ounces in gold per ton.

Challis, Ida, Sept. 9th, 1905.
The above shows that the citi-
zens of Challis and vicinity do
nate literally to any worthy
cause. This wagon road was
built years ago during the boom
days of Yellow Jacket, and was
in much demand at that time, as
is unquestionably the nearest
and by far the best and most
practical road the year around
to Silver Creek, Singiser, For
ney and Yellow Jacket. OF late
years, however, the road has
been neglected, but now, we are
pleased to learn, is again in good
condition for travel and for
freighting. People living in
the territory penetrated by this
road will find it to their advan-
tage to ship this way, because
it is nearer to the railroad at
Mackay than at Redrock, besid,
es it is an easy road all the way
to Yellow Jacket. 1t is a road
that can be travelled early in the
spring and late in the fan, be
cause there are no high submits
to cross like the Leesburg.
