TRACTION WAR
IS At AN END
important Decision by Judge
Gr0SScup in Hard Fought
Battle in Chicago.
BETTER SERVICE PROMISED
MILLIONS FOR BETTERMENT OF
SYSTEM PROMISED.

Chicago, Dec. ga sale of the prop
critics of the North Chicago Street Rail-
way company, the West Chicago Street
railroad company and the Chicago I'm
ion Traction company under a decree
OF foreclosure was ordered today by
Judge Peter S. Grosscup, sitting in the
United States circuit court. The sale
is TO take place at noon on January 25.
1908, at the county courthouse, under
the direction of H. w Bishop, who was
appointed a special master commits
s1oner by the court. An order was also
entered instructing the receivers of the
property to execute to the Chicago Rail-
ways company, the holding company or
ganlzed to take over the franchise voted
by the city council some months ago, a
lease of all the lines of street railroads
operated by them. The lease is to ex-
pire on Feb. 2, 1927.
Better Service for Public.
1t is taken for granted that the Chi
cago Railways company will be the
only bidder for the property at the sale,
and the order of the court is in effect
merely a form of a plan worked out
for the rehabilitation of the Union
traction system by the Chicago Rail-
ways company. The decree means, it
is said, that at last the patrons of the
traction lines on the north and west
sides of the clay are TO receive the i'm
provements in service made obligatory
by the terms of the new franchise or
dinance.
The sale was ordered under the con-
solidated foreclosure suits of the Cen
r trail Trust company and the Guaranty
Trust company of New York, the FL
deity Trust company of Philadelphia.
What 1t Really Means,
Judge Grosscup, in affirming the de-
cree, said:
means is that two million people have
at last come to an understanding with
some twenty thousand people, consti-
tuting the creditors, bOndholders and
stockholders of the old Unuion traction
system, whereby, as nearly as human
judgment can reach such results, the
two million people get what is due them
as a community, the twenty-Odd thou
sand get what is due them as a body
and each of the twenty thousand gets
what is due him as an Individual It
was the ordinance of February last that
made such a settlement possible. The
extension ordinance of last September
saved it from disaster. The agreement
today practically closes IT."
Following the acceptance on Feb. l
of the ordinance by which the Chicago
Railways company will come into pos
session of the traction properties af-
fected by the decree, the railways com
pany will Immediately begin rehabilita-
ton of the lines at d cost of $4,000, 600,
and within three years must have re-
built at least 80 miles of single track
and put in operation at least 1,200 new
cars.

OPPOR TUNlTIES
IN NEW MEXICO

New Mexican: A fruit farm
forty acres in extent, is owned by
DIR. Farnsworth, near Hagerman,
Chaves county, has Just been sold
for $1,000. The place was first
cultivated four years ago; it has
fifteen acres in alfalfa, twenty acres
in fine orchards, while FIVE acres
are being utilized for home, build
lngs, barns, etc. 1t should be re-
membered that four and one-half
years ago this place was govern
ment land, upon which a desert
land entry could have been made
tor which the entrymen can pay
SLIPS per acre to the government,
and make improvements of a SINH
lar value per acre thereon. This is
q rather remarkable incident, part
ly evidently good luck and partly
management. 1t is an example
that should be advertised far and
wide. What DR.. Farnsworth has
done, others can do in a similar
space of time, and in many sections
of the Sunshine territory. Compe-
tent fruit growers in the Pecos val
ley and in Southeastern New Mex.
leo estimate the minimum of S2oc
per acre income out of fruit or
chards, and that two years out o,
three. 1t is evident that the sale
was based upon such a value of tn,
land contained within the farm
The case is worth recording and re

TROUBLE OVER
FOR TWO YEARS
The GOldfield Miners in Mass
Meeting Ratify Agreement
With the Operators.
The Miners Union Will Have Juris

Receive the Wage Scale
Paid Last Month.

Goldfield, Nev.-By an overwhelm.
ing vote the miners of Goldfield In
open meeting on Sunday ratified the
terms agreed upon by the joint meet
ing of the executive committees; the
deadlock, remarkable in many ways,
Is over, and for two years to come
there will be no trouble between the
mine owners and the miners In this
district.
The terms of the agreement which
means so much to this district after q
siege of many weeks are as follows:
al. The wage scale in effect in the
district March /, 1907, shall remain In

tute Il days work for all men under
the Jurisdiction of the Miners union
"2. The Miners union shall have ju'

carpenters employed in the construc'
ton of head frames, ore houses and
buildings about the mines, mills and
shelters .l.E

FIVE THOUSAND
MEN ON STRIKE
Miners In Eastern British Co.
lumbia and Alberta Have
Thrown Down Tools
President MitcheiI's Orders Are Ia.
nored and Men Refuse to Work.
Board Of Trade Advocates
Bringing In Cheap Chi
nese Labor.

Vancouver, b. c. Practically all
the coal mines in eastern British Co.
lumbia and Alberta are closed. 1t was
rumored Friday morning that Presi-
dent Mitchell of the United Mine
Workers of America had instructed
District President Sherman to ask
the men to resume work, but Sher-
man denied this. Then S. S. Lindsay,
manager of the Crows Nest Coal COM
pany, gave out copy of dispatch
he had received from Mitchell, who
said definitely that he had ordered
Sherman to get the men back to work.
The men have quit work, but not
definitely gone on a strike, so that
they may not be prosecuted under a
new dominion government law. Sher-
man and Patterson, his assistant,
both state that the men are pressing
them to issue a strike order, no doubt
on account of the ambiguous position
they occupy, thus quitting work with
out any definite arrangements. There
Is much doubt about the action of
quitting work without calling it a
strike, secretly ordered, and all fall
ing into line, being a strategic move
to evade violation of the clause of the
act. Sherman says he will not pay
strike allowances because he can get
around that by paying working al.
lowance. 1t looks as though the oper.
ators had broken the law in posting no
tees of a reduction pending the dis
pute. The Canadian Pacific railway at
Fernie has only 100 tons of coal on
hand, and that brought in from Frank,
which worked Thursday.
The Canadian Pacific railway has
issued notices that none but perish
able freight will be handled in Koote-
nay until the situation is relieved.
The Winnipeg board of trade has
passed resolution advocating the
bringing in of cheap Chinese labor to
take the places of the men who have
left. About 5000 men have thrown
down their tools.

SECRETARY WILSON AFTER
CROOKED MANUFACTURERS
Threatens to Publish a List OF Manu-.
facturers Indulging In Campaign
Of Deception.

Washington-"If this outrageous
misrepresentation does not cease, the
department will publish list bearing
the names OF manufacturers indulg.
ing in this campaign of deception"
Secretary Wilson of the department
of agriculture made this remark in
an authorized statement regarding the
fact that there had come to his knowl-
edge information that a number Of
manufacturers of foods and drugs
were freely advertising that the
United States government was guar
anteeing their products. The secre-
tary said that the serial number and
guaranty number required by the pure
food and drug act to be placed on
food and drug products were being
used by these manufacturers for this
purpose. THE serial number" said
Secretary Wilson, SIS assigned to fix
the responsibility where it belongs
upon the manufacturers-and to pro-
tect innocent dealers who have a
right under the law to rely upon his
guarantee. 1t Is the guaranty of the
manufacturer and not of the govern
ment."
The secretary declared every effort
would be made by the department to
put stop to these statements.
