SwIPED THEIR woRKMEN.
Alaska Railroad Companies Have
Trouble In Getting Laborers.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 30.-The
Alaska Home Railway, of Valdez,
has stolen a march on the Guggen-
helms, who are building the Copper
River & Northwestern railway from
Katalla into the vast copper regions
Of the north. The steamship Jeanie
was chartered by the Valdez railway
TO go to Katalia, and representatives
OF that road succeeded in persuading
300 of the Guggenheim roads labor
ers to leave Katala and go to Valdez.
When the Copper River railway
officials learned that the Jeanie was
about TO leave Valdez for Katalla to
take some OF their men, a message
was sent to Valdez for n doctor to
quarantinS Katalla, so they could
not get the men. DR.. Pizant was
sent and he took passage on the
Jeanie. The Valdez railway men
were able to detain the doctor
aboard the Jeanie for two days, and
ey that time they had 800 of the
Copper River roads men aboard the
vessel. When the vessel was about
to sail the physician was put ashore.
The scheme worked we'll and the
men are now working for the Home
Railway Company.

Loss of one sock, which ruins


a pair ................ rs
This claim is now before the city
council. That's the reason that the
city council is so vitality interested
in the subject of socks.
Friends of Richard Hayter are in
dignant at the pine splinter and at
the city for allowing the pine splin-
ter to be where IL could injure Rich
ard Hayter's socks. They assert that
Richard Hayter is famous for three
things--his socks, his bull terrier,
and his Harvard diploma---and that
the greatest of these is the socks.
They say that Hayter wears socks on
scientific basis. On Monday he
wears pale blue socks with delicate
pea-green stripe; Tuesdays a cream
colored sock with little blue en-
broidered forget-me-nots; Wednes-
day a light red sock with Just the
sweetest little fleur de lis design that
ever happened; Thursday dark sock
with teeny-weeny red spots In 1t; Fri
day q bold pink sock with stripes
running up and down. Saturday

A Cheap-Socked Council.
or course the friends of Richard
Hayter may be mistaken about all
this. But this is what they say, any
way.
Members of the claims committee
of the council assert that It is not
necessary to wear 75-cent socks.
They say the most expensive council
manic sock on record Is one sported
by Charles II. Burnett, Jr., but he
has been acting mayor for some time
and 1t is allowable for him to dress
up some. Even his startling hosiery
only costs half a dollar. Councilman
Conway claims that really excellent
pair of socks can be procured for
Ave cents. but the majority of the
council contend that two-bits should
be the maximum price for hosiery.
Socks can be procured for as high
as so pair. but these are so awfully
noticeable that even the Hayter
bull dog might take offense at them.
At the city hall the matter of Rich
ard Hayter's socks is creating breath
less interest. Several persons who
have a liking for such things called
Hayter up this morning to find out
where he bought his socks. But he
had not been to the Office at ALL His

The city fathers want clean

say:
We are trying to make Salem Il

zens TO help us out.
If we ask you TO clean up, don't

Let us have no place in Salem

Clean up the barn.
Don't wait for the city to compel
you TO do these things; it is un-

Don't mind what your neighbors

If you want to have a nice clean

WAY law.
.O~S>~-~~>N-~~~N-~~-~~
Everybody wears socks, so It has be-
come such a common thing In these
days of cheap socks that IL is only
the man who Is popularly reported
to wear no socks at all--like the late
Jerry Simpson, one time congress
man OF Kansas-who attracts undue
attention.
But thanks to Richard Hayter, OF
the Manufacturers association, socks
have become a factor In the life OF
the municipality. Seattle must Off
clally give close attention to the sub
ject of socks. It's duly elected city
council. Its mayor and its legal ad-
visers must delve deeply into socks.
For the city may have to pay Richard
Hayter for one pair of socks, value
75 cents, and the city won't pay
bill of this kind without deep de-
liberation.
He Stubbed His Toe.
II was this way. Hayter was
crossing Railroad avenue the other
day and stubbed his toe on a splinter.
The splinter was of pine. Hayter is
very certain about this. IL was
sharp splinter and It penetrated the
S5-a-pair shoe of Richard Hayter.
Probably If the splinter had stop
ped at the shoe Hayter would never
have minded. But It didn't. It went
through the shoe and penetrated the
75-cent sock of Richard Hayter. 1t
didn't even stop there. 1t went
through the 75-cent sock and pene-
trated Richard Hayter.
Hayter rushed for a doctor, who
fixed up his lacerated foot. The sock
was, however, beyond the care of
so Hayter hobbled to
lawyer and showed him the mutilated
sock.
"What shall do about this sock?"
inquired Richard Hayter.
make a claim against the city,"
was the instant reply OF the attorney
when he saw the texture of the sock
and its beautiful silken embroidered
spots.
A man who has the courage to pay
six bits for socks won't hesitate to
assert his rights. Hayter presented
his claim.
1t was as follows:
Medical attendance .......$ $500
One shoe which ruins a pair 500
Loss OF time .............. 10000

fees, but said that the council had
nothing to do with the cases in which
he represented the liquor dealers.

the mayor for making the charges.

State ATTORNEY General Advises eau
ton About Scalp Bounties.

A few days ago State Auditor Clau-
sen received letter from the county
auditor of AsOtin in which the latter
asked whether a person desiring to
obtain bounty on scalps can go before
a notary to make the required oath.
The auditor expressed the fear that a
fresh scalp would be taken before a
notary while an old one would be taken
to the auditor for collection of the
bounty.
Mr. Clausen put the question up to
the attorney generals office and A. ].
Falkner. assistant attorney general
answered by quoting the law to snow
that it permitted the making of an
oath before any officer entitled to ad-
minister Oaths.
Under section 2. however, the
opinion says. of the same act. if the
county auditor is not satisfied with
the proof. he should not issue and de-
liver to the claimant a warrant for
the county"
The state auditor is interested in

it is the state money that goes for

There is great scarcity of logs in
the water now. and it is said that a
single week of bad weather this
month will cause an unlimited amount
of conflict among the local shippers.
and there are no indications at pre-
sent that show any relief
Number l spruce is quoted at $40
per thousand; cedar at 50 per thou
sand, and second-grade fir at IS per
thousand. This in an increase over
the enormous price quoted early in
December, which was thought at that
time to be the highest prices of the
season.
The condition is startling in every
comparison. January I, 1906, opened
with an increase in log prices, but any
number of quantities could be pur-
chased at that time at $3.50 per thou
sand, an increase of practically so per
cent. Other classes of logs. which
sold year age at $3.50 per thousand
can hardly be found for sale. though
the buyers are offering $1O75 per

The comparison of the present quo

Prison Warden Accuses Mississippi
Governor of Shipping Horses in

JACKSON. Miss. Jan. TN retiring

Henry preferred charges of dishonesty
and graft against Gov. Vardaman.
Henry asserts that the governor pur-
chased horses and mad them shipped in
the same cars with other horses pur-
chased by the state at the expense of
the penitentiary and that the governor
employed convicts for his own use
around the executive mansion after
having severely criticised his prede
cessors in office for doing the same
thing.
The charges are made in a formal
report to the board of prison control
They read as follows:

became still more elastic. He soon
made requisitiOn for and had two

This is sample of the conduct of
the public official who brings a charge
of incompetency against me. Another
sample of his ideas of honesty is found
in transactions that he has had in pur-
chasing horses for himself in cOnnec-
ton with the purchase of horses for
the state
He brought on one trip black mare
named Maud which was shipped in the
same car with the states horses. Also
he had another horse transaction in
connection with the business of the
state. which demonstrates that he at
least was not careful to avoid the APP
pearance of evil.
