MINERS STRIKE
IN The TANANA

Keep away from the Tanana
mining district is the message
from the miners working there.
The Western Federation of Miners
recently demanded S. per day for
it's members working in the Ia
mana district in Alaska. The mine
owners have refused to pay the
new scale and strike was order
ed. Notices are being posted in
local railway offices and other
prominent places advertising for
men.
1t is not likely that any great
number will be recruited here, as
no man is anxious to go to Alaska
and especially in the frigid sea
son, unless well paid for it.
A committee of business men of
Fairbanks, Alaska, is working to
bring about a peaceful settlement
of the trouble.

WINS
At WALLACE

After many years of opposition
the labor unions of Wallace and vi
entity have been able to organize
a good strong central labor coun-
Gil, chartered under the A. f. of
L., and every union is affiliated
with the exception of the BARRIERS.
The miners union is one of the
most important factors in the new
body.
The success in maintaining the
union spirit and organization in
the Occur d'Alenes on the part of
union men is more remarked when
the determined attempts made by
the mine owners to crush out every
spark of unionism in that district
is considered.
That the support given union la
Dor of every description by the
men in the Occur d'Alenes Is of
the right kind is shown in the num-
Der of cigarmakers in Wallace.
Notwithstanding that large guam
titles of cigars manufactured in
this city are sold in the Occur
d'Alenes there are today as many
union cigarmakers employed In
Wallace as there are in Spokane
Practically all the cigars sold In
the big mining district are union
made, and thousands Of dollars
which would be sent out of the
country is kept in circulation In
the Idaho mining district.

Rat Problem
Quickly Solied

The rat problem is rubbed off the
blackboard already. In the hands
of Spokane mathematician it last
ed about as long as tropic plant
would If left out doors lately.
Hardly had the first publication Of
the problem appeared Friday when
answers began to come in over the
phone and by mail. With but few
exceptions they were all right, al
though few that solved it enclosed
the method of solution used.
Among those who submitted the
answer were ]. w. Hutchinson, J..
C. Stone, E. G. Payne, Ralph Ham,
mer, James l.. Walton, c. l.. Ed
man, d. Hollandsworth. Two fig
ured that two cats could do the
job. There were number of
anonymous answers correctly
given.
Here is the official solution:
The answer is III cats"
The solution is obtained as fol-
lows:
If seven cats catch seven rats in
seven minutes, one cat will catch
