SMOKE MADE IN
SPOKANE CIGARS

A resolution was introduced into
the Central Labor union last night
requesting local retail liquor deal
ers to sell local manufactured
cigars in preference to cigars made
In other cities All local cigars are
union made, which is an incentive
to local working men to patronize
the home brand.
The resolution was laid on the
table for one week on motion of a
delegate of the cigarmaKers' union.
The delegate stated that the 100000
club was using it's best endeavors
to have local cigars sold here to a
greater extent than has been the
case in the past. The club recog-
nizes the great advantage that
would accrue to this city if all
cigars sold here were manufactured
in this city. Instead Of their being
about 35 or 40 cigarmakers in the
city as at present, there would be
, at least 500, and thousands of dol,
lars which leave the city for the
eastern manufacturers of trust and
sweat shop cigars would be put into
local circulation. The average
union cigarmaker earns from $25 to
$50 per week

ENGINEERS HAVE
FIGHT ON

After having attempted to con-
ciliate the Diamond Ice & Fuel Co.
for the past year without success,
the engineers union last night ask
ed the support of all local unions in
fighting the company.
About one year ago it is stated
the company discharged their union
engineers and substituted non
union men. The local union of
steam engineers has attempted to
obtain the reinstatement of union
engineers. Negotiations have been
carried on, but the company has re-
manned obdurate and as a last re-
sort the union has appealed to the
Central Labor union to take action
A communication was received
from the engineers iast night set
ting forth the above facts, and a
committee was appointed to take
the matter up with the company
and verify the statements Of the
engineers with view TO making an
active campaign in their behalf dur
ing the coming summer months.
The Diamond people had a prac
teal monopoly of the ice business
for years past, but there are several
concerns now employing union
help that can supply the local de
mand If given a chance.
The committee will report at the
next meeting the result of their in
YeStigatiOns.

PLAN DOWNFALL
OF LAND SHARKS

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. "a
Francis J. Heney has arrived in
Washington. He took lunch with
the president. Heney came to
Washington from Chicago with At
torney General Bonaparte, and the
entire land fraud situation was dis
cussed.
81 may talk the Bristol matter
over with Roosevelt" stated He
ney, "but that is not the object OF
my visit. l came on general mat
tiers relating to land frauds" W
Heney said he had nothing to add
to his recent statement concerning
Fulton.
AS the result of the conference
held last night it was announced
that prosecution of the Oregon land
fraud cases would be commenced
Jan. 13, the date originally set for
the trial of Horace Mckinley at
Portland.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. "a
What President Roosevelt will do
after finishing his present term in
the White House depends some
what on circumstances. There are
some things he would like to do
which he may not be able to do,
and vice versa. For instance, he
would like to sit in the senate and
lend his support to some man in
the White House who would fight
for the continuation of his policies.
But If a man like Fairbanks or
Cannon "a reactionary - should
ride into the White House on the
wave of a panic reaction, 1t may be
stated emphatically that T. Roose-
welt would not care to be in the
senate.
To be a senator under such an
administration is probably more
than Roosevelt could stand. He
would be nothing but a voice. He
might protest, but he would be
without any power to help or him
der, and would better be in private
life.
Moreover, T. h. will not scram-
BILE for the job. If New York does
not want an ex-president for sena-
tor, Roosevelt will remain in pri.
vate life.
The thought of private life is not
a pleasant one ior Theodore Roose-
welt He likes being president of
the United States. He likes the Ia
Dor and the fight. He likes the
chance for doing things.

WHERE WILL THEY FIND A
PROPER JOB FOR TEDDY

This does not mean. that he is
weakening in the matter of another
term. 1t does not mean that he has
ever weakened. 1t means that he
places principle above desire, and
that there is no desire so great as
to weigh with him above principle.
1t means that the path Of duty, as
he sees it, leads to private life, and
he now takes this path with firm
ness and a step which will not be
turned aside, though every elemen,
In his nature cries out for him to
go the other way.
Roosevelt would rather be presi'
dent again than-well, there is no
comparison that does justice to the
case. Think of the situation. He
is in the prime OF life. His bodily
and mental powers are at their
WEAKNESS. He does not feel the
shafts his enemies hurl in upon
him. He loves the game; he
lusts for fight 1t is the middle of
the second round. He has given and
has taken blows: his blood is up;
the fight is not decided; the enemy
is pressing him against the ropes;
much-everything depends upon
the issue-the peoples liberties,
and, as be believes, the very future
of the nation. Do you think it is
easy for him to take off the gloves
and hand them to another man?
But he will. He gave his word,
and there is a great principle in
volved, He will help the man who
takes up the fight, but he himself

CAMPAIGN FOR
COAST Defense

WASHINGTON. d. c., Dec. "a
The president is taking great inter-
est in Pacific coast defense and
held a series of conferences with
Representatives and senators from
that section yesterday. 1t is be-
lieved the president wishes to aid
the desire of western men to get
necessary appropriations for i'm
prOvement and defense.
San Francisco is one of the best
defended cities in the world and
needs but little, but San Diego and
San Pedro need defenses badly.
Humphrey put the need of defense
on Puget Sound very plainly to the
president. The president urged his
visitors to work for Hawaiian de-
lenses also.

IN PRISON FOR STEALING HIS
OWN CALF.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 24-For
stealing his own calf, Samuel Cain
must serve a year in the peniten-
tiary at Folsom. This decision was

appeals.
Cain past;ircd his calf on a tract
of land which subsequently was
sold and when he demanded the re-
turn of his property he was refused.
The new owner knew nothing of his
title to the calf. Then Cain stole

And wrote to Sanity any little thing

And when old Sanity come that wear

it could not be expected to be a de

1t is said that some decent sort of
fellow in the legislature introduced
bill against lobbying in order to
get rid Of the swarm of political
heelers. But it was killed immedi-

very crowd of lobbyists were those
who made it possible for the ma

hence the lash was drawn over them.

Martinsville, Ind, March IA
Members of the First Church of
God Tor CHRISTI are causing a revo-
luton in religious matters in the
Goose Greek neighborhood, south of
this city. They preach that the
earth is square, quoting from the
Bible that the people are to be gath
erred from the four corners of the
earth, and that they are to carry the
gospel to all who inhabit the four
corners of the earth.
They speak in strange tongues,
and an Interpreter is required for
those who talk in the meetings.
They require converts to believe that
Christ was not born in a manger,
but under an apple tree, and they
Danish sickness by laying on of
hands aud other ceremonies. Fifty
nine converts are reported, some OF
whom are men we'll known in this
city.
There is similar religious sect
in one or two of the Eastern Coun.
ties in North Carolina. At one OF
their meetings some days ago many
of the converts began talking in
strange tongues. Others could not
understand them and they could not
understand each other. At a later
meeting an interpreter came and in
terpreted the meaning Of theil
strange tongues.-ED. CAUCASIAN.
