.GOLDFIELD STRIKE
WAS EXAGGERATED?

GOLDFlELD, Nev., Dec. 9.-It IS re-
ported that Colonel Reynolds. who COM
mands the Federal troops brought here
TO do guard duty during the miners
strike. is Of the opinion that the nina
owners misled the War Department in
calling for military protection. and is
about to recommend the recall of the
soldiers.
Colonel Reynolds has held no confer
ences with the authorities, and being
responsible to no one on the grounds
finds himself in an embarrassing posi-
uon. He has had an interview with
President McKinnOn. OF the Miners IN
ion. and It is said he is convinced that
there Is no probability Of trouble on the
strikers part.
Mckinnon informed Colonel Reynolds
that the story Of attempts to blow up
the light and power plant with dynamite
are without truth. The mine owners in
sist there will be trouble before the strike
goes much farther. An authoritative
statement has been made that sufficient
men were already on the ground to
work the mines. and that a start will
be made on Wednesday There are
about 1.5O0 Western Federation men out
and the mine officials say they have
applications from 1000 men. whose
names are kept secret, to return to
work.

Men Coming In.

Large numbers of men are being
taken to the Mesaba range to take the
places of those who are on strike.
They are for the most part Germans
and Polanders from eastern mining
regions. and appear to be an inteli-
gent and hard working class of people
All of those with whom the reporter
entered into conversation were able to
converse intelligently in English.
Earnest efforts are being made by
citizens generally to influence the
better class Of strikers to return to
work before their places will be pre-
empted by the men who are arriving
almost daily from the east and other
sections, To fill the vacancies at the
mines. Not Il day passes but some of
the old miners desert the ranks of the
strikers and return to work. This is
especially true Of the men of family,
who look upon the Mesaba towns as
their permanent home.

EooIinu a Wolf.

A boy II years old, the son of a
PIONEER in Montana, observed a wolf
gneaking about one day last Jan.
uary. He took sheep skin and
spread it over low bush in such a
way that it resembled the live ami
NAL, and after time the wolf made
a dash for it.
He detected the fraud at once, and
instead of gailoping away with the
pelt, which would have made a good
dinner for him, he dropped it and
sneaked off with his tail between his
legs. He realized that he had been
made the victim Of a joke, and he
felt the same as boy who had been
April fooled.

Old Age Annuities.

Sir Richard J. Cartwright has at

ada's leading thinkers and politicians
by advocating an old-age annuity in
the Dominion. His proposition was
listened to with respect and consider
alton in the conservative upper house
of parliament in Ottawa He is not al
all in favor of old-age pensions. His
idea is that a payment of half days
wages a week will give the average
man an annuity of 5000 year from
the age of 65 until death. He said thai
to make any such scheme a success,
three things were necessary: 1t must
be absolutely safe, necessitating gov
eminent backing; there must be abso
lutte freedom from forfeiture; there
must be no. possibility of anticipating
the benefits.
