almost inevitably advance as the
visible supply steadily decreases.
"The only possible check to this
process would be the appearance OF
some perfectly adequate substitute for
anthracite possibly, some scientific
treatment of bituminous Goals where
by the objects to them would be done
away with and they would come into
general use for manufacturing, dom
este and all other purposes; and this
clothes the present experiments for
the abatement of the smoke-evil with
great economic Importance.
1T is too early to begin to worry
about the anthracite-coal needs of our
grandchildren and our great grand
children; we of the present generation
will have quite enough troubles of our
own in paying our coal bills during
the remainder of our lives; and it may
be-if science keeps on achieving Won
ders-that the generation of 1882 will
read in its histories with amazement
of our anthracite fears of 1907 and
ask, What is anthracite, anyway or
what was it?'
1t is up to some learned scientist to
get us out of the clutches of the coal
trust by preparing some treatment
that will make the bituminous article
equal, if not nearly so, to the
anthracite. We would like to be re-
lieved from the present highway rob
berry tactics that are being practiced
on the public by such barons as Baer
and his ilk. The price of anthracite
is constantly increasing. Something
must be done to afford the people re-
lief from the eXtortion.

THAT JAP RUMPUS.

Golfers Weekly recognizes good
thing when it sees that kind of an ar
ticle, and prints the following descrip-
ton of the "scrap" which occurred in
the Jap restaurant in San Francisco,
and which. laid the foundation for a
good of war talk, most of it, however,
emanating from. the fiery, unframed
brains of correspondents for the yellow
journals. This description was furnish
ed Golfers by a printer.
1.-TWO electrical workers entered the
Japanese restaurant; whether they
were doing picket duty, or whether
they intended to buy a meal, is un-
certain. At any rate, when they
: entered the restaurant they saw a
brother worker sitting at a table
eating, with his union button fasten-
ed to his coat. Gan electrical worker
is fined 500 for patronizing Jap
jointly The two men demanded tina,
the offender remove his button while
eating; he refused to do SO, and the
result was three handed fight.
There being two against one, it
was natural 1.-THE law of self-preser-
walton, etc. that the under dog should
utilize some of the Jap's furniture in
his self -defense 1t is also natural
that the Jap should interfere to pre-
serve his furniture. Furthermore, it
is natural that a crowd should gather
to witness the excitement. When the
crowd had gathered in the door, the
Japs forsook the participants in the
fight and made rush at the crowd,
announcing their approach by throwing
dishes at the spectators. Up to this
time not dish was thrown.
"The missiles slightly injured some
of the crowd, and by this time the
Japs were making hostile demonstra-
tons from the bathhouse on the OPP
posite side of the street. As the Japs
had clubs, knives, and in some in
stances of the rumpus, guns, the on.
ly defense of the crowd was their no
cess to the debris in the street. The
bathhouse was not attacked 1t was
bruised, naturally, by the bricks that
miscarried in their intended aim"
There you have it. And still there
are patriots who would plunge both
nations into an armed conflict because
small riot occurred over the gas
tronomic act of an electrical worker
who fractured rule of his organiza
tion.

ever since. 1t has built up very sue
cessful business in barley of which it
handles from 100000 to 100000
bushels per year.
Mr.. La Due has been connected with
the elevator from its inception and for
the last two or three years has given
it his undivided time and has built up
very fine business with eastern NAL
sters. Mr.. La Due will continue to give
his entire time to the business as here
tofore.
The new company will at once install
additional machinery and appliances for
the handling of the grain and barley
business. The house is one of the most
completely equipped barley houses in
the west and with the growing impor-
tance~~of this crop throughout Mime
sofa and the Dakotas, the business will
undoubtedly assume still larger proper
tions.
The Free Press joins in best wishes
for the success of the new company.

be constructed between the main points
