The proposition of forming mems

IMPLEMENTS FOR SIBERIA.
American Manufacturers Are Far

American Manufacturers Are Far
Superior to Others.
According to a statement publish
ed in the principal commercial jour-
nal of Russia, and supplied by Con-
sui General Richard Guenther, OF
Frankfort, the value of agricultural
machines and implements annually
imported by Siberia amounts to
about 100000 rubles ($5,150, ,000)
The imported articles are chiefly
supplied by German and American
manufacturers, being far superior to
those made in Russia. ....
The Russian manufacturers have,
through their association, presented
a number of requests to the Russian
government for assistance to enable
them to better compete with foreign
manufacturers.
This year the number of depots
for sale of agricultural machines and
implements in Siberia has increased
to 52-their sales amounting to g..
100000 rubles. In 1906 there were
but S6 of these establishments
whose sales in that year totaled O..
567,161 rubles. The immense area
Of Siberia is as yet but little exploit.

poses.
The government promotes the mi.
grafton thereto Of farmers now LIVING
in the less productive parts Of tn,
Russian empire; consequently 81
IBERIA will eventually become a bl,
market for the sale of agriculture
implements and machines.

ward the flume to obtain water, fell
in and in his helpless condition could
not get out
The cook at the ranch claims It
was the custom of himself or Mr..
Hurlbert to make daily visits to the
point where the tragedy happened
for the purpose of attending to the
centrifugal pump installed at the
falls. Quite a number OF the neigh
bors get water at the plant, and were
at and around the residence near the
pumping plant at the time.
The sprincipal information come
from the cook, who claims Mr.. Hurl-
bert left the house about IL a. m. to
make the usual inspection Of the
pumping apparatus and fumes and
that when he did not come back for
a long time, he went in search Of his
employer, looked up and down the
river and was about to give up the
search in that direction when he
looked into the flume and saw the
body lying head down and near the
bottom. close to the gate that regu-
lated the water running onto the
wheel.
Hastily getting the body out Of the
water, which was three feet deep, he
called a number of persons who were
at his house making arrangements tc
have a Christmas tree. An abrasion
Of some kind on the fact gave rise
to the report that bullet had killed
Mr.. Hurlbert.
The body was sent to Arlington II

ASK FOR SPECIAL SESSION.
Washington Labor Unions Desire {,
Amend Contract Labor Law.

ONho aCb lRtWs
The Central Labor councils of Walla
Walla, Spokane. Seattle and other
cities In the state Of Washington, may
unite to ask Governor Mead to call a
special session Of the legislature for
the purpose of amending the state law
so that cities can do contract work
by day labor says the Walla Walla
Bulletin,
While the Walla Walla unions have
favored day labor for some time, the
first official move in that direction
has been taken In Seattle, where the
council has met and passed a reso-
luton calling on the unions of other
cities to help in the movement.
1t Is believed that when this law is
passed 1t may enable the cities to en-
ploy men where private contractors
can not. The resolution adopted In
Seattle follows:
Resolved, by the Central Labor
council Of Seattle that we send a cir
cular letter to the union labor coun-
ellis in all cities of the state Of Wash
ington, requesting their cooperation
with us in urging upon the governor
the necessity Of calling a special ses-

of enacting a law which will give
cities the sovereign power to bid in
competition with all contractors on
all assessment work, through its pro-
per officers, such as city engineer or
board Of public works, and that when
found necessary and for the public
good to issue warrants redeemable in
