STRIKE SITUATION CLEARS
Chances for An Agreement Between
Railroads and Employees

CHICAGO, April 1.-The railway
employees in the train service of the
western railroads have reduced their
demands to a nine-hour work day,
and the government officials who
came to Chicago last week to bring
about peacable adjustment of the
threatened strike are working hard
to overcome that obstacle. Commits
sioners Knapp and Neill held an al
most continuous session today with
the general managers and the repre-
sentatives of the trainmen and con-
ductors. The men today signified
their willingness to accept the wage
increase offered by the railroads If
the managers would grant the de-
mand for the nine-hour day. The
labor delegates declared that the
wage increase asked for was minor
consideration. but that they could not
face their constituents without Sc

SPOKANE, April Manager A.
D: Campbell of the Western Union
Telegraph company was advised to-
day of a new scale OF telegraph rates
to go into effect today on the Pacific
coast. The new scale increases the
rates for night messages in some
cases over 80 per cent.
In cases where the night rate, I'M
der the old scale was 40 cents, the
new rate will be so cents. In cases
where the old rate was 80 cents the
new rate will be 40 cents.
Manager Campbell stated today
that the night rate business of the
company only constitutes about a
cent of all it's business.
Manager Fletcher of the Postal
Telegraph company stated today that
he has not been advised of any
change in the rates charged by his
company.

The rGolden Medical Discovery"
not only builds up the strength of
the feeble, debilitated, languid,
nervous and easily fatigued, wheth-
er young or aged, but it enriches
and puri6es the blood, thus making
the Improvement lasting.
It corrects and overcomes indi-
gestion, dyspepsia, biliousness, tor
pid liver, chronic diarrhea and
kindred arrangements of the stom-
ach, liver and bowels.
Bronchial, throat and laryngeal
affections, attended with hoarseness,
persistent cough, and all manner of

In Chronic Nasal Catarrh, it is

stinate cases of catarrh yield to this
thorough course of treatment.
Through enriching and purifying
the blood, the "Discovery" cures
scrofulous affections, also blotches,
pimples, eruptions, and other ugly
affections of the skin. Old, open,

'One Facts About Dogs
By FREDERIC J. HASKIN

shooting. General Latrobe, who has
charge Of the dogs of the Carroll Island
| club. gives this story of their origin {:
"a number of years ago vessel from
! Newfoundland ran aground near an
estate called Walnut Grove on the
shores OF the Chesapeake. The estate
! belonged to Mr., George Law, n member
! Of a we'll known Maryland family. On
board were two Newfoundland dogs,
! which were given to Mr., Law by the
captain in return for his hospitality
The Chesapeake Bay Retriever is a
cross between those two dogs and the
black and tan hounds, or coon dogs, of
that section.' This dog is enormously
popular in the West, particularly in
Portland Seattle and other points
along the Pacific coast,
America has done much to push the
fad for the modern bull dog, for the
word has gone out to dog fanciers OF
every land that they cannot be too
monstrous or distorted to please the
Judges of an American Dog show. Each
year their legs get farther apart, and
their faces uglier, if that is possible.
Dog fanciers are now predicting re-
action in bull dog breeding, which shall
seek to re-establish the original type OF
short.nosed mastiff which fought bulls
IN Spain ana England IN louO, tnen Iell
into such bad repute in 1885. The
first presentable bull dog shown in this
country was sent from England in 1880.
Gen. Lafayette sent the first st. Ber-
nard dogs to America. When he came
back here in 1924 he met j, i. Skin
ner, eX-Assistant Postmaster General,
who was at that time greatly interest
ed in dogs. With the all of Gen, La
fayette he brought to America some ex-
cellent spaniels, and in 1890 Gen. La
fayette sent his, two big st. Bernards,
They were the first Of their kind that
America had seen, and the fad for them
was instantaneous. The prices for big
dogs of all kinds Immediately scared,
and as soon as ST, Bernards were es-
tabIished the puppies sold for several
hundred dollars, and the full grown dogs
were proportionately high priced Now
it is difficult to get fifty dollars for
st. Bernard puppy, and 500 is rare
