Burns Does Light Work.
Burns is taking only light exercise
in the gymnasium. Tommy continues
the favorite Notwithstanding the dis
parity in weight and the fact that Moir
is two and one-haIf inches taller and

while his opponent is thinking about
getting set"
The fight has excited the greatest OF
interest and tickets are being resold
from $50 to $40.

RATE REGULATION IN CANADA.

In Canada the railroad compa-
mes are not permitted to change
their rates without consent of the
Railroad Commission. In many
respects it would seem as If this
law was a very just one, as it pre-
vents any serious change of rates
being put into effect without due
hearing being given the interested
parties. The idea of comforting
similar powers on the Interstate
Commerce Commission where in
terstate rates are involved, might
be productive of excellent results

Delta, Grand Junction and Hotch-

for paying the cash for their ad-
vertislng and it has been mighty
good investment, besides it will
require other fairs in the future
to pay for advertising if they get
any. If newspaper advertising
pays for any business it pays good
returns to a fair association, and
so far as the Laborer is concerned
it cut out the state fair press no.
tices when the present owner
came into possession of the paper.
The state makes an appropriation
each year to defray the expenses
of the state fair; each county
makes an appropriation to gather
its exhibit; in former days all
boosting bills for the state fair
were paid in cash except the
country newspaper man, who had
worked to in crest his home peo-
pie in preparing the exhibit, com
mended his county commissioners
for making the appropriation, and
took for his pay complimentary
ticket which he was not able to
use. We believe the tate fair is
great institution and should be
patronized very literally, but at
the same time we believe that its
expense account should include

THERE is good deal Of hot air
indulged in by republican Politi-
clans and republican newspapers
about the unanimous election OF
Governor Butchtel as delegate
by the recent Methodist confer
ence at Grand Junction. We have
it directly from an eye witness
that on the first ballot. when four
delegates were to be selected. that
the esteemed governor was two
votes behind the fourth man but
only three had majorities that
entitled them to election. During
the night he pulled every political
and church wire that could be laid
hold of. The recalcitrant preach
ers were hauled from their beds
and lectured on the danger to the
Denver University, etc. and the
next day he succeeded in winning
by two votes. These are straight
ia facts.-Gunnison News.

CARD SYSTEM MUST 90.
Cripple Greek Postmaster Declares Both
Sides Have Had Enough Of the I'm.
American Fight.

"Crpple Creek will either have
to abolish the card system or 60
out of business. The men are
leaving the district at the rate OF
from four to ten day and no one
is coming in to take their places.
While the district ought to work
5000 men, there are less than 800
at work in the entire district to
day and they will get out as soon
as possible.
The strike is over and there is
no reason on earth why the card
system should be retained. 1t has
always been a detriment TO our
camp and always will be. There
are ffty-tour empty store rooms
within a space of FIVE blocks on
our main streets. Think of that
for the greatest gold camp on
earth, and it will show you the
foolishness of continuing the sys-
tenn longer.
For my part want to give it
up and give the Western FEEDER
alton a show and believe they'll
do the right thing. / think both
sides have had enough of this un-
fair and un- American fight. Both
sides did wrong and both sides
have suffered irreparable loss.
81 think it will only be short
time before the system is abolished
and the district will be on the
open shop plan. You know the
Western Federation has adopted
the open-shop plan and l think
the card system should be COM
pletely abolished by the other
side. If it isn't we might as we'll
move out and say good bye to the
district"

is the fact. We favor license be-
cause experience has proven that
it is the best way to handle the
business. We favor compelling
them to obey the law. Gov. Buch
