new ROAD THROUGH Town
|. ( ". n. Tracks Laid Through
Rathdrum Last Sunday.
OBSTRUCTION ENCOUNTERED
Northern Pacific's Action May
Delay Opposing Line.

The track of the Idaho & Wash
ington Northern railroad was laid
through Rathdrum last Sunday.
the road bed having been prepared
several weeks ago. 1t was found
necessary at that time to lower the
main of the water system at Nc
Cartney street and it was lowered
without trouble; but the Northern
Pacific company, whose main also
interfered with the grade of the
new road, objected to having its
main lowered. Rather than have
any litigation, the Blackwell peo-
pie decided to block up the track
at that point with extra ties as a
temporary arrangement and pro-
ceed with the track. laying by
going over the obstruction.
Early Sunday morning the work
train began at the A. w. Post saw
mill at the east, to which point the
road had previously been complet-
ed, and started westward toward
point mile distant where the
passage under the Northern Pacific
tracks will have to be made. In
front was the up .to-date track-lay-
er, on the right of which was a
long ladder-shaped arrangement
with rollers in place Of rounds on
which a stream of ties were fed
from fiat cars in the rear and kept
moving to the front by men armed
with picks, and as they arrived
they were taken and placed by
laborers. On the left was SINH
+, lar stream of rails. AS fast as ties
we're laid down the rails were
swung down upon them and quick
ly joined and guaged, and then the
train, propelled by a powerful,
mountain logging engine, moved
up a rails length and the operation
| was repeated. From the old mill
to Mccartney street the process
was timed and it is said a rail q
minute was put down on that
stretch. Considerable delay was
occasioned at the point of crossing
the Northern Pacific water pipe
but, after passing that the work
progressed steadily to the poin
where the tunnel is to be made
under the Northern Pacific tracks
This part of the road is nov
completed from Spirit Lake, ane
it only remains to lay the tract
across the prairie between Rath
drum and West Post Falls wher
it will join the electric line.
1t is rumored that some delay
expected in constructing the cul
vert where the new road is to pas
under the N. P. tracks. 1t is sal
the Northern Pacific company con
templates putting in third trac
o at that point and demands that tn
Blackwell company put in a thre

HELP BUILD IT UP.

In the columns of labor paper
the achievements, purposes and
interests of all unions can and are
represented to the world as thew
can be in no other way. In any
community where every unionist
gets copy of his labor paper, no
matter what the size of the sheet
and carefully reads its contents,
but the toilcr and the community is
sure to be benefited in many WAYS
Education is what the toilcr needs
these days, and there is no medium
that comes as cheap, or goes farth-
er toward the dissemination of
that education than does the labor
journal. The labor paper is al
ways on guard and protects the
interests OF organized labor when
no other class Of publication could
possibly reach it Every union

Others do likewise.
The better support given 81

ORGANIZE THE STATE.

The West Virginia hills will re-
sound with eloquent, earnest and
sound reasoning in the interest of
organized labor for many moons
to come as Il result of President
John Mitchcll's placing a score or
more of National organizers in the
West Virginia coal fields to arouse
the miners from their long and
troubled slumbers. The campaign
has begun and before a six months
has rolled round the effects of the
work will be felt. AS the organi.
have startled the entire country
will be less frequent, crime will be
decreased, and general prosperity
will prevail, not only with the
miners but with the general public
,as well. The citizenship of the
State will be more enlightened,
novels will be transformed into
happy homes, intelligence will take
place~of ignorance and malice and
West Virginia will be placed on a
higher plane of civilization and of
a level with the other great Goa
Producing states.
Let every union man i'm West
Virginia lend a helping hand il
this good work.

THE CARPENTERS STRIKE

That the carpenters strike is
righteous one can not be denied bv
amy one who is converSeut with
the situation. The members of
every other building trade in the
city enjoy the eight-hour day and
receive more wages now than they
did when they laborcd ten hours,
ana there IS no reason to be adj
vanced why the carpenters should
not be granted the concessions thcy
ask, and especially so since the
independent contractors, who en-
ploy the greater majority of the
membership of the local union
have granted their men the shorter
work day.

If the labor unions did nothing
else. than call attention to the
misery that abounds, their exist
ence would be justifiable; but they
have done more, they have not
only called attention to the effects.
they have shown the causes. They
have done more still; they have
produced remedies, upon the
merits and dement's of which pro-
fcSsors, editors and ministers now
discuss and advocate. Labor
unions have produced thinkers and
educators from out their own
ranks, and have drawn students
and teachers from the wealthy and
professional. And more yet;
while doing this, they have better
ed the condition of thousands, of
families, by securing higher wages,
hours and greater indie
pcndence, individually and collcc-
lively The result is something to
be proud Of. The carpenter, the
printer, cigar maker, clerk, shoe
maker, tailor, working long hours
on short rations, have stepped
boldly to the front and worked
revolution in American thought.
1t is fact, beyond cavil.
