NOT WASHBURN CROSBY
Makers of Gold Medal Flour Not
Concerned in Minneapolis
Receivership.

It should be understood that the
Washburn-Cr Crosby Co., makers of
Gold Medal -four, are in no way
concerned with the recent Minneap-
oils Touring mill receivership. The
slight similarity in names has led
to some confusion.
One need have no fear that the
Gold Medal housewives, whose pic
lures have adorned the magazines
and newspapers, will cease to ap-
pear. We shall see them the same
as ever. And the Washburn-Crosby
Co. continue to be the largest mill
ing concern in the world.
Therefore, while the receivership
in question is most unfortunate, it
does not by any means concern all
Minneapolis flour mills. The
Washburn- Crosby Co., makers of
the widely-advertised Gold Medal
flour, shipped 5000 cars last year
more than their nearest competitor.
And they are 1ourishing still.

secretary to State Veterinarian
Roberts, that an Office will be
opened at the Publicity building at
the state fair on the opening day,
and consultation may be had with
DR.. Roberts at any time during the

LABOR DAY.
A PROCLAMATION BY THE
GOVERNOR.

By authority of law, |, James O.
Davidson, Governor of the State of
Wisconsin, hereby designate Mon
day. September 7th, as Labor Day.
Labor is the creator of wealth.
Without labor capital would be un-
employed and useless. When COM
bined in friendly cooperation labor
and capital make for the greatest
human happiness and the broadcast
and highest civilization. What is
needed at this time is a spirit of
Justice on the part of capitalists
and laborers and knowledge of
the dependence of each upon the
other. Harmony, and not hostility,
should mark their union, and both
should regard the interests of con-
sumers, who finally bear labor's
burdens and furnish to capital it's
profits.
That the day may be properly OBJ
served, and that the motive which
prompted it's establishment may be
advanced, recommend that indus
trial institutions generally suspend
operations, and that, SO far as pos
sible, employers and employees
alike, join in the celebration of
Labor Day.
In TESTIMONY WHEREOF, | have
hereunto set my hand and
caused the Great Seal of the
State of Wisconsin to be af-
[Seal] fixed. Done at the Capitol in
the City of Madison, this goth
day of August, in the year of
our Lord, 1908.
JAMES O. DAVIDSON.

BIG ROADS CONVEN-
TON AT MILWAUKEE.

Every person interested in good
roads in this community should
make a strong effort 10 attend the
convention of the State Good Roads
association in Milwaukee on Sept.
g. A number of the best speakers
on the subject of roads have been
secured from this and other states,
and these men will make their re-
marks intensely practical. They
are all men Of much experience with
roads and those who attend can not
fail to get many helpful sugges-
tons. 1t will help us get what we
ought to get A dollars worth of
road for every dollar of tax"
One of the best features of the
convention will be the opportunities
for free discussion which delegates
will have.
Many delegates have been az
pointed but we are informed that
others who desire to attend will be
appointed by sending a request to
w. o. Hotchkiss, Madison.
Ex-Governor Hoard, who is presi-
dent of the association, will preside
at the meetings, and address the
delegates.
Owing to the fact that the con-
vention is held during the week of
the state fair the delegates can take
advantage of the extra low rates
which the railroads have granted
for this session.
The convention will be held in
Turner Hall which is on Fourth
street, short distance from Grand
Ave, and right near the heart of
the city.

Political forecasters have been
doing some wild guessing as to the
result of the presidential election.
In the electoral college, PAP votes
are necessary to choice. The Re-
publican managers claim 405 votes
for Taft, while the Democratic man
ayers, more modest in their esti-
mates have figured out but 337
votes for Bryan. The total number
of electoral votes indicate that one
side or the other, or both, have
made claims that will not hold
good. Among the conspicuous
flaws in the figures made by the
Democrats is the placing of Wis
consin in the Bryan column. Count
ing for Bryan state that is good
for $4,000 plurality for Taft is
enough TO impair ones faith in the
judgment of those computing the
Democratic electoral vote at Suf-
ficient number to elect, to say moth
ing of the surplus to which claim
is laid. The Republican calculators
will also doubtless find their own
figures greatly exaggerated, unless
there should come wholly unex-
pected landslide.

1t will soon be time for the emer-
gency currency to get busy if it pro-
poses to help move the crop of 1908.
The act is cumbersome at best, and
will prove utterly improbable I'M
less quite generally utilized by the
larger national banks. The secre-
tary of the treasury has called for
information concerning the value of
railroad securities, that he may in
diligently comply with the discre-
tionary power conferred upon him
in the acceptance of that class of
securities as collateral in carrying
out the provisions OF the emergency
currency act. The fact that the
secretary of the treasury has been
compelled to do this will be used as
an argument in favor of the physic-
al valuation of railroads in the re-
newal of the contest upon that prop
osition at the next session of con-
gress.

Governor Hughes of New York,
in response to an apparent popular
demand, has consented to the use
of his name as a candidate for re-
nomination, though personally pre-
ferring to retire at the close of his
present term. The Republican ma
chine in that state does not like
Hughes because he is not machine
man, but the people have warned
the machine not to attempt to turn
him down. Prominent leaders in
the national campaign believe that
the nomination of Hughes will
prove a source of strength to the
presidential ticket in New York, and
this fact has renonciled the machine
to what seems to be the inevitable
denomination of Hughes. When
man possessing the makeup that
characterizes Governor Hughes be-
comes too strong for state polit-
ical machine, there is much to hope
for from the common people.

in rich profusion the bones of all the
animals of the reptilian age. The

Either one of the several branches
into which the opposition to the
Republican party is divided prefers
Republican success to the success
of any other division of the oppo-
sition than itself. Otherwise such
divisions would get together upon
common ground for the overthrow
of the Republican party. Those
Republicans who think the time has
come when there ought to be anoth-
er change, should ponder upon the
foregoing suggestion.

Yet, Bryan is industrously engaged

Farmers and Breeders, Take
Notice.

A better opportunity to pull down
a bunch of money on single ami
NAL is seldom offered than that pre-
sented by the Northwestern Live
Stock show, which will take place
in South St. Paul, Nov. 18th to goth.
In classes l and 2, covering pure
bred and cross-breds, an exhibitor
stands chance to capture the fol-
lowing prizes with single exhibit,
providing it has the requisite mer-
it's:
First place. .SZo w

Beside the above, the American
Shorthorn Breeders association has
given 81 900 to the show to be pro-
rated among the vari GUS winners
where they are shorthorns.
If the animal is not shortnorn it
still has an opportunity to win over
5000 in cash premiums if it is of
requisite merit.
1t will be remembered that the
grand champion of the show last
year sold at 10 cents a pound on
foot and the prospect is that excel
lent prices will be realized this year.
Included in the prizes of this
years show is handsome medal
which will be presented to the
herdsman fitting the grand champ
ion for the show.
A silver cup will also go to the
owner of the grand champion.
Stockmen and farmers will find it
to their interest to carefully exam
inc their premium list of the show
in tffs different classes. The offers
are most exceptional both for the
prize winners and for the animals
which take prizes further down the
line.

From reports it seems that many
will come into the city from the
towns and country outside to renew
old acquaintanceship and to learn of
friends back east from those who
have more recently come here.
Minnesota has the largest repre-.
sentation in this valley of all the
states, and it is up to every loyal
Minnesotan to come out and demon

to see that the fruit packing is done
IL the best manner possible hereaf-
ter 1t means much not only to the
growers. but to the entire commun-
ity. If fruit prices can be held up

mean money in the long run to see
that the packing is done in proper
manner This fruit man states that
there are but two places in the val
ley which produce fruit properly
packed. This seems to be a rather
strong statement and consequently
the names of the two places men,

YAKIMA GOOD FOR LABoRER

The start of the campaign for
stock of the Yakima Valley Trans
portation company disclosed a rather
peculiar fact 1t would not seem.
with the recent financial panic, that
laboring men in any community
would be so overwhelmed with
money that they would be willing to
invest it in propositions which appear
on the face to be corporate interests.
Nevertheless it is true that with
the start of the sale for the new
transportation company stock that
laboring men were the ones to do
nate the money. This is certainly a
healthy sign. Looked at in all its
phases it means that the Yakima
Valley is not alone a good place for
the working man but it is good
place for the employer or the laborer
would not be able to invest his funds
In this manner. 1t certainly seems
that the working man could find no
better place for his savings than in
the stock of a transportation COM
rany which no doubt will have the
monopoly on the local freight traffic
of the greatest valley in the world.

WHAT A UNION CAN DO

The Yakima County Horticultural
Union met in annual session Satur-
day. That plain statement does not
Eeem to carry a message Of much i'm
port but when it is understood that
a large number of fruit growers have
been watching the proposition of a
horticultural union with interest it
seems worth while to comment slight
" at least on the accomplishment Of
this union When 1t is understood
that the organization has succeeded
in building up its business to such an
extent that fruit journals in every
part of the land have complimented
the Yakima County fanchers on their
success it is certainly not failure.
Business for the past year is double
that OF 1906 This is to a certain ex-
tent a criterion for the fruit business
of the entire county OF Yakima The
horticultural union was primarily -
protect the market of the fruit ran
chers That it has done this success
fully can be testified to by the mem
bers of the union who have sold their
fruit for high price and at the same
time have realized good dividends
from the stock which they hold Tho
union is now making a fight for bet
ter railroad facilities. This is one
place where an organized body OF
this kind may accomplish wonders
when the individuals would find
themselves at a great loss. A corpor-
ate body can fight for an issue when
indivuals would be a useless waste Of
time. The reports at the meeting OF
yesterday were certainly most graft
flying in every respect and 1t is to be
hoped that the union accomplishes
even more during the coming year.

FEW SUICIDES IN NORTHWEST.

The relatively small number of
made the subject of an interesting
observation by Brig w. F. Jenkins,
in command of the Salvation Army
in the Pacific Northwest. In conse-
quence of the small number of sui
cides, the Salvation Army has not
followed its usual course of estab-
fishing anti-suicide bureaus in this
connection, says the SpokesmanRe
view Commenting on the fact the
brigadier said:
"Here in the northwest, people,
when they get into trouble, keep
up courage and hope, and never
think of suicide. For months, even
in these so-called hard times, AMI
during the Christmas season. we
haven't had a suicide case come into
the office There is no question that
the average laboring man finds life
more satisfactory proposition out
here than he does in the average city
of the East"
1t isn't always an easy matter to
tell precisely why some men and
women feel impelled to kill them
selves, in a given set of circum-
stances. while other men and women,
in similar. and sometimes worse cir
cumstances, will not even think Of
such a thing But it isn't difficult
to understand why suicides are much
less frequent here than in other sec
lions of the country. Climate may
have much to do with it. Nerves do
not break as readily here as else
where, though the gait is usually
speedy and at high tension; the at
mosphere seems to soothe the hurt
places, and to strengthen the weak
ones.
Moreover the general view is more
cheerful Men and women are more
hopful. as a rule, and, as Mr.. Jenk-
ms suggests, the people are more
friendly, more inclined to console
and help their distressed fellows
than they are in other parts of the
country. 1t is high tribute to the
climate, the country and the people,
but it is deserved The record is
that way, and the record is the best
evidence.

Chin Chan Leaves for China.

Chin Chan left for his old home
in China Saturday to bring back
bride. Chin Chan left China five
years ago, coming direct to North
Yakima, where ne has been the
owner of a Chinese store which his
father runs for him. He has spent
nearly FIVE years attending the pub
lie school here and is now in the
sixth grade.
He is a universal favorite among
the scholars and has proven himself
to be studious and careful in his de-
pertinent.
When he left home in China he
was but II years of age. He will
make an effort to bring his mother
back from China with him. His
father will remain here in charge OF
the store. Chin Chan expects to be
gone about seven months.
Chin speaks without the IL"
sound so prominent among his
and declares the Amer
lean girl looks very nice to him, but
over in China is little almond
eyed lady who looks lots better.

Colored Court Room.

The court room looked like a
Georgia camp meeting and coon
town was very much in evidence
Friday, when the ownership of a
pair of earrings was settled. Cor
rine first owned them, but Matinee,
by a diverse and alleged unlawful
game known as Cooncan, won them.
Corrine was given an opportunity OF
buying the earrings back, and 1t was
decided they be tested by jeweler.
In arriving at this conclusion Cor
rine got hold Of the jewelry, but be-
fore getting to the jewelers., the po-
lice were necessary. During the me-
lee the valuables were placed in
charge of the chief of police, who re-
fused to give them up until he knew
where he was at. Maimee brought
replevy proceedings against him, but
His Honor awarded the jewels to
their original owner. Corrine.
