OPERATORS GET
SQUARE DEAL

Although the commercial tele-
graph systems of the country are
.paralyzed and the Associated Press
tied up, the United Press, where it
is not dependent on the Western
Union or Postal companies, as in
the extreme Northwest, is having
no trouble in handling press mes
sages because the management of
the United Press has shown dis
position to deal fairly with the
Commercial Telegraphers' union
aud grant the men any and all rea-
sonal concessions.
While all the Scripps organiZa-
lions are strictly on union basis,
an additional warning was sent to
all operators on the United Press
wires when the strike trouble be-
gan. 1t read as follows:
"All operators: Hereafter the
United Press will employ no opera
b tors unless they hold up-to-date c..
T. U. A. cards and they will not be
retained in the service unless such
cards are kept up-to-date. If any
A.. are in arrears at the present time
they will be given until Sept. Is
to get in line United Press
The straight 8-hour day, includ-
ing the usual half hour off for
luncheon, went into effect imme-
diately on all the wires of the
United Press, and the men were
given the assurance that they will
be treated fairly in the matter of
fthe wage schedule

MONEY ONLY ON
PAYDAY
CITY COMPTROLLER FARLEY
PUTS STOP TO PRACTICE OF
EMPLOYEES DRAWING POR-
TIONS OF SALARY BETWEEN
TIMES.

mo more money until payday"
is the edict issued by Comptroller
Robert Farley this morning.
The ordinance provides only for
a monthly payday, but the custom
established has been to allow city
employees to draw" about the
goth, and again on the 10th, the
regular payday. OF late, though,
time checks have been piling up so
fast in the comptroiiar's depart
ment that he is unable to handle
the business without extra exertion.
Therefore he says that the Or
dinance will be followed hereafter.
His object, partly, is to legalize the
extra payday by forcing the issue
up to the council, and recommend
ing that an ordinance allowing en-
ployes to draw salary earned, be
passed.

CRUISER ENGAGEMENT

An engagement between cruisers,
which is not a naval affair at all,
is going on between A. Arnold and
Charles Dean, who are in the bust
ness of locating homesteaders on
government land Dean, who rep
resented himself as l of a party
Arnold took to land they couldn't
get, told the story, and now Arnold
deposes and says Dean wasn't with
his party, but was located by Jen-
sen on somebody else's mining
claim in section 30-40-32, which he
cannot hold
Arnold is starting out with an
other party of 10 from Rathdrum.
He claims a previous party he took
in had couple of cruisers along
to estimate the value of the home
steads and found no fault with what
he located them on.

BRIEF CITY NEWS

Charles Merriam, secretary to
Mayor Moore, received another let
ter this morning in which he was
warned to tell the mayor that the
city is doomed TO suffer the same
fate San Francisco did. The letter
is signed by j. P. Johnson, the same
name signed to the other.
Wade Lamberson, of Granite,
Idaho, reached town last night with
a grip full of clothing A friendly
stranger offered to carry the grip
to the Galax hotel. Stranger and
grip are now Guiding the police.

made as to be readily carried to any
convenient point for action.
Further developments are being
worked out wherein the machine
becomes a practical steam engine,
water being constantly decomposed,
and the 2 gases are directed as
flames upon boiler to generate
steam.
Experiment shows that a ma
chine representing a horsepower
force can be run IL hours at the
cost of / cent an hour.
The inventor is claiming that
water as fuel gives the world as
near perpetual motion as the world
can ever hope to have, and a fuel
that no trust can ever corner, for
it will even rain fuel on the Just
and the unjust alike.

JAPS IN RAID TO ExTERmINATE SEALS
Special Correspondence to The Pres,

special correspondence to The Press
SlTKA, Alaska. Aug 21.-A
daring raid by an armed fleet of
Japanese poachers on the Ameri-
can Pribilof islands in Bering sea,
has for its aim the determination
OF the great seal herds, the rob-
berry OF the salt houses there where
thousands of skins are stored and
resultant cleanup of maybe $10,-
600, 900.
The raiders are all ready for the
dash and may even be on the way
now. News of the projected ex-
petition has just come to Sitka
from the captains of several whal-
ing vessels who spoke Japanese
schooners in different places in the
north Pacific and were told, in
Boosting fashion, of the proposed
descent on the famous rookeries.
Word has been sent to the
United States authorities at Seat
tie and San Francisco and ii is I'M
derstood that the cruiser Buffalo
has been ordered north. 1t will
take that ship 2 or weeks to get
In touch with the islands.
The Jap sailors in conversation
with the Yankee whalers say that
30 Japanese schooners have been
htted out for the sensational
poaching raid. The plan is to
loot the rookeries of the famous
seal herds on st. Paul and st.
George islands. These are the
largest rookeries In the Pacific.
Should the fleet Of sealers reach
there before the government cruis-
er, the result would be the wiping
out OF the herds.
Each of the japanese boats, in
addition TO the usual hunting
equipment, has achine gun
mounted on Its brow. The sailors
and hunters are also armed with
sesolvers and rifles

the American sailors are busy with

The Pribilof islands have been
famous for nearly century and a
half as the breeding place for seals.
Since the purchase of Alaska by
this government, tens of millions
of dollars worth of skins have
been taken from there. The United
States has had an immense amount
of trouble with foreign poachers,
and l great diplomatic battle, last
ing many years, was fought with
England over the killing of seals.
During the past year or several
Japanese poaching ships have been
seized by American revenue boats,
the vessels confiscated and the
crews jailed.

TALL HATS FOR sAvAeEs.
Striking Costumes Worn by Senli-clv-
llized Potentates on State Occasions.

The manner and occasion of wearing
the garments of civilization sometimes
chosen by savage chieftains and semi
civilized potentates have often proved
a source of mirth.
Perhaps the palm for a unique COM
bination still belongs to that stat
uesque Polynesian native who honored
state function by appearing in a
stovepipe hat, the rest of his costume
! consisting of postage stamps, abun-
dantly and artistically applied in ele-
CANT patterns over his entire person.
Still other striking effects have been
attained.
Robert P. Skinner. who was sent
lately on mission to Abyssinia, re-
lates that, having presented an Amer
lean flag to Alto Paulos, a hospitable
official person, far removed from saw
agery, he received this gracious ac-
acknowledgement of the gift:
4 appreciate this more than any
thing you could give me. It is the
proudest decoration l could possibly
own. shall ask the emperor for the
right to accept II, as we cannot accept
anything Of this sort without authori-
zauon, and he viii say yes Then l
shall wear it about my shoulders
every feast day"
The tall hats which the Americans
wore at the court Of Menelik evoked
much admiration, says the Youths
Companion. as indeed tall hats seem
always to do in lands unfamiliar with
their peculiar rigid dignity One which
previous traveller had bestowed upon
a provincial ruler Of the country had
been, they learned, so highly appre-
ciated that it was at once sent to the
court jeweler and the brim eneircled
with row of emerafds.
When, on breaking camp for the /
last time, the party bestowed various
articles of attire on their faithful Abys. 4
sinian servants, they found that even
pink pajamas were less thankfully re-
ceived than old hats. Mr.. skinner
gave his own hat to Alto Pito chief
and general utility man.
