At Urga, the Chinese governor
asked permission to ride in the au
tomobile. Dressed in the greatest
pomp, the celestial got into the car,
somewhat nervously. but, gaining
courage, he asked that the car he
speeded. The chauffeur moved the
levers to 60 miles an hour, and the
party flew along. leaving far in the
rear, in wild disorder, great cav
alcade that had hoped to keep up
with the pace OF the automobile.
The governor returned to his pa
lace shaken and pale. but conscious
that he had enormously increased
his Importance in the eyes of his
subordinates.
All predictions as to the time in
which the journey of $500 miles
would be accomplished have been
wrong. Predictions varied from 10
days to a month. Indications now
are that the cars will not get to
Paris inside 6 weeks of the start
and 1t may be even longer before
Prince Borghese arrives at the win
ming post.

CANADIAN UNION
IS LOYAL

The telegraphers' union in the
United States is getting loyal en-.
couragement from union operators
in Canada. At Vancouver, B. c.,
the operators refused to handle any
messages from striking Offices on
this side and the companies tried
to handle it through the chiefs.
The union recently objected to this.
as many American papers were
getting telegraph sent around
through Canada. AS a result inter
changes of business with all United
States offices west of Port Arthur
on Lake Superior has stopped.
Western Union operators at Van
couver refused to handle strike
breakers reports and were dis
charged. The operators are still
handling press reports, but will not
transmit them to this side.
The strike has strengthened the
operators hold in Canada and
many scales have been signed ND in
consequence.

Office at Los Angeles He is a union
man and has been an operator q
years.
Mrs. Sadie Nichols was and is
still employed by H. J. Jeffs, chief
operator at Oakland, himself a
nonunion man and active in his op-
position to unionism.
The operators at Los Angeles
say that Mrs. Nichols is incompe.
tent as an operator, continual
mischief maker, and that she was
simply used by Jeffs in his cam
paign against unionism.
Tht4 say that whenever it was
desired to secure the discharge of
any particular man. Mrs. Nichols
was used for that purpose.
Now
Ryan declares that Mrs. Nichols
apparently sought direct trouble
with him over the wire so as to
effect the discharge of nina
union mainland that in the course
of her conversation she deftly tick
ed off that short, ugly word"
Liar.
Diplomatically Ryan licked back
to her:
81 guess my reputation will stack
up against yours
Then the trouble started.
The company officials declare
that Mrs Nichols is the possessor
of an angelic disposition and that
Ryan grossly insulted her in dar-
ing to place his reputation in the
same class with hers.
Supt. Lamb, who was named as
arbiter in the case, declared that
he would take the word of non
union operator any old time.
Whereupon Ryan was discharged
incontinently. His fellow operators
demanded his reinstatement.
1t was denied They then went
on strike. Eastern operators re-
fused to take messages from Los
Angeles nonunion operators. The
eastern operators were discharged.
Then the Zig trouble was on.

PLAN TO TRADE
DELEGATES

The Structural Trades alliance
sent a communication to the Cen
trail Labor union which was read
last night asking that an arrange
ment be entered into whereby dele
gates could be exchanged between
the union and the alliance. 1t is
doubtful, according to local union
men, if such an arrangement could
be made to work in satisfactory
manner. 1t was tried some time
ago but did not work out success
fully.
1t would be impossible for the
alliance under its charter rights to
give a voice and vote to delegates
representing any union other than
those belonging to the building
trades. On the other hand the
Central Labor union constitution
demands that all unions be repre-
scented by regular delegates in order
to have the right to a voice and
vote in that body. If the request
of the Alliance should be granted
the central body will have to
change it's constitution.
The request of the alliance was
made for the purpose of bringing
the various labor organizations into
closer relations and to create a
more harmonious feeling If possible
in labor circles.

JAP DIVORCES VALID

A Japanese divorce by proxy, a
looser form even than prevails in
the United States, is held valid
here under a recent ruling of the
immigration department. The case
came up from Seattle where
woman shipped to Jap living in
America was held on the ground
that she had no cans of support,
as her prospective husband had no
right to marry In America on a d.
vorce he had previously secured
from the wife he left in Japan. This
process merely requires that the
husband signify his desire to d.
vorce his wife and secure someone
to appear for him as complainant
Now the Japanese bride-to-be has
been released from custody at Port
Townsend and welded to the man
who has waited until the govern
ment could decide his case.

INDOOR RoUeHAeE RACK,
Handy Device Which Will Save iced
and Be Convenient for Sheep.

In designing a rack for indoor feed
ing of sheep. and especially a breeding
flock. there are several things to be
taken into consideration. In the first
place it is desirable that the rack be
constructed to take up the least
amount OF space possible. 1t should
be so designed that sufficient roughage
can be constantly kept before the ami
mails during the day without waste.
Every flockmaster likes to see his
breeding stock look we'll. To this end
the rack should be constructed so that
dirt and chaff from the roughage can
not sift through into the wool and
cause a matted condition about the
neck and along the back.

a flock of breeding ewes we have ex-
perimented with number of differ

FINE HoLsTEIN RECORD.
What Nebraska Cow Has Done In
Tweive-Month Test.

A three-year-old COW owned by the
Nebraska Agricultural college was
given a 10 months official test with
the result below. Every pound of milk
wan weighed and tested for butter fat.
The COW was MIXED three times a day
for the first six months of lactation
anc all the feed given her was
weighed. The results obtained were
especially interesting.
In 365 days this COW produced 1853
pounds of milk of an average test of
3.3f per cent. butter fat. This amount
ed to $40 pounds of butter fat for the
year, which estimated as butter
an cunts to 734 pounds. At 25 cents
PEI round this butter would be worth
$1!1. making a total value of products
$2?5. The value of the milk solids.
nov fats. at 8 cents per pound would
be SAT.
The whole cost of the feed for this
COW was $71. If the 5000 quarts of
milk had been sold for cents per
quart, the income would have been
$3.50, or net profit over the cost of
feed of nearly $3.50. but as the milk
was actually sold for 6 cents per quart,
the net profit over the cost Of feed
was nearly $470. For net profit, this
COW stands close to the record, in fact.
