when men organize in any craft
and secure better conditions,

the benefit, because my wages are

They realize that they are ex-

they care not for the other fellow
just selfish, that is all. AS part
ing reminder, organized labor in
Spokane recognizes the justice of
our cause and has pledged their
loyalty, which is greatly appre-
ciated. And we will hold our or
ganization intact. One thing we
are very proud of, that is those who
belong to our union are men who
have honor, integrity and force of
character, and we are sure of the
fact that the public will not fail to
realize that this is not w. w. p.

Aside from voting QUITO f the COM
mittee of the whole the plans for
the new Stevens street bridge the
council accomplished little at the
meeting of that body last night.
II. L. Blocker, purchasing and po-
litical agent of the W. W. P. Co.,
was present when the members of
the council assembled and button
holed several of the aldermen and
then withdrew. Mr.. Blocker does
not remain at council meetings and
fight ordinances he don't like. He
simply issues few orders to his
lieutenants.
He attended the meeting last
night for the purpose of defeating
the Pratt ordinance which, if pass
ed, will compel the company to
train men for 10 days before giving
them position on the cars OF the
company as motormen or conduc-
tors. The feature of the ordinance
that is Objectionable to Mr.. Bleek-
er is that in case of a strike he
could not hire men indiscriminately
for strike breaking purposes, and
the public would in this respect be
protected from incompetent men in
charge of cars.

tee, the entire evening being taken
up with a discussion of the water
rate ordinance. The reduction of
the rates from sl00, the present
minimum rate paid for houses, to
so cents. was seemingly favored by
the councilmen, but the discussion
of the rates was ended by Corpora
ton Counsel Geraghty informing
the members that the board of
public works was the proper body
to estimate what reductions, If any,
could be made in the present rates
and that the matter should be re-
ferred back to the city commits
sioners for their consideration. This
course was adopted.
The Stevens street bridge was
next taken up and acted upon IA
vorably. 1t was brought out,
among other things, that the city
has owed the Great Northern some
thing like $4,000 ever since the
Washington street bridge was built,
that amount being the city's share
of the cost of erection of that struc-
ture. This amount was allowed by
a former city council but has never
been collected by the company and
is now outlawed.

Special Correspondence to The Press

ABILENE, Kan, Feb 20.-HoW
would you like to dig among the
sands of Nome amid privation and
exposure and get a fortune, then
have to give il to the church? That
is the plight of Peter Anderson, a
young Swede of this county, who
10 years ago went to the Klondike
a missionary and came home a half
millionaire.
Anderson lived on a farm u years
ago. He went to Chicago, became i'll
over his studies for mission service
and was sent to the hospital A
pretty Swede nurse attended him
and an Alaska girl with Eskimo
blood in her veins was also a pa
tient. The latter induced him to 60
to Klondike when he recovered
There, with four others, he la
bored. They ran ont of coal, and
seeking for it found gold-lots of it.
He resigned from the mission serv-
ice and became miner. His first
years returns were 100000. The
next year he did better.
One of his companions became
discouraged and sold a claim to An
derson for s4S. Out OF 1t was taken
$4,000.
Anderson came home worth half
q millionion. He bought several of
the best farms In this section, land
now worth 100000. He gave a fine
farm to his parents. A cousin who
loaned him $50 with which to go to
Chicago received a $1,000 stock Of
goods as a gift All his brothers
and sisters were made well-to do.

Chicago and gave to the hospital

WORDS OF WISDOM
To Housewives and Mothers

ouSe"IV ana MQthers. =
In these days of sharp competition it il
well n wise to notice what you are get
ting when you go to the store to buy a bet
tie OF some simple family remedy or flavor
.lpg extract, and see that you get only pure
and wholesome goods, put up By some
manufacturer whom you know to be relia-
bile, and who will not put their name on
the label of anything but abselateIyD pure
goods.
This policy is followed by the well known
firm of Gilbert Bros. & Co., wholesale
druggists and manufacturing chemists of
Baltimore, Md, who for the past quarter
century has made a speciality of absolutely
pure and full strength family remedies and
'favorlng extracts, and the fact is well es-
tabilshed the country over that their name

impurities ia their medicines and extracts.
as they will not use in their manufactures
any drugs or chemicals of a deleterious
character; and when you buy goods you
want to know that they are pure if YOU
expect to get proper results from their
usage.
In cases of sickness it is often necessary
