IF you hear an unpleasant story about an acquaintance, perha ps you will not feel like keeping it to yourself, even though you are not at all sure that it is true. The chances are that you will pass il along, imagining that you have freed yourself from all responsi- bility if you explain this is only what you were told, and that per fonally you know nothing about the matter. Have you ever noticed how soon all these little qualifca- tions are dropped out of a story Every perhaps" and "maybe" is lost by the second telling. "I thought so" soon b. tcomes "I saw" and somebody's careless guess is accepted as his positive statement. Since this is true you cannot es cape any responsibility by saying that you heard certain report, but are not positive as to it's truth The results of repeating it are like ly to be just as bad as if you pledged your honor for it's correct ness in every point.-Ex.

Secretary Wilson Gives Out In

Decision Is to Be Considered as
Final on Acts of Pure Food
Bureau
BY Ira Il. Bennett

INi<aL JifSf alIff IL IhE CALL
WASHINGTON. Feb. I. Several
members of the California congressional
delegation this morning held further
conference with Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wilson regarding the sulphur con
troversy. Secretary Wilson assured
the Californians that the board now be-
ing appointed, which is to pass final
judgment upon the decisions of the pure
food bureau, will have all the time and
funds necessary with which to make a
thorough and impartial investigation
of the use of sulphur in the drying of
California fruits
This investigation. said the secretary.
will probably include a visit to the field
by the board and the holding of public
hearings in California. The names of
the members will not be given out until
the entire board has been selected. and
1t is the desire of the department that
the work shall be so thorough and so
unhampered by previous decisions that
the conclusions of the board shall be
considered final.
1t is not probable that DR.. Wiley will
make further public reports on the sub
ject, as all future complications are to
be submitted to the new board.

UNION LABOR TO HAVE
INFLUENCE IN CAMPAIGN
Vote Is Strong Enough to Turn
Tide in Many Sections Where
Ii Has Grievances
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALI.

WASHINGTON, Feb. The labor
union element will figure to a greater
extent in the next campaign than 1t
ever has up 10 now. There seems lit
tie likelihood that any declaration will
be made for or against the candidate Of
either one OF the great political parties
Oh the presidential ticket. though cir
cumstances might possibly arise which
would lead TO Endorsements either in
different localities or throughout the
country.
It has been considered good policy
not to have the labor union indorse-
uents go entirely TO candidates of any
one party, and the men who have sue
oeeded at the polls have been pretty
evenly divided between the democrats
and the republicans. In many sections
OF the country the union labor vote is
strong enough 10 turn the tide in favor
Of any man that It Endorses.
wherever union labor has a griev-
snce the effort will be made to place a
satisfactory candidate in the field. and
wherever possible a man who is actually
2. member OF a union.

NEW YORK, Feb. Members OF the
independent labor party, composed Of
delegates from labor organizations, at
a meeting held today unanimously de-
cided 10 work for the denomination of
President Theodore Roosevelt for a
third term. They issued a statement
declaring:
president Roosevelts fearless stand
against corporations has won him the
admiration Of great masses OF the
working people of the country.
We consider him to be the only
available candidate, and hope that the
republican national convention will de-
eide on him as presidential candidate.
We believe that Governor Hughes
would do the republican party more
harm than good. and that he would run
behind his ticket in New York state
with as large a vote as the majority
which elected him governor.
IF Bryan succeeds in forcing his
nomination upon the democratic con-
vention we are Of the opinion that he
win be beaten worse than before"

pared to undermine two wide spreadins

RUSH IN AUTOS TO
NEW GOLD DISCOVERY
Many Persons Leave Reno for
Ledge Unearthed by Mac
kidon Brothers

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
RENO. New, Feb. I'm a mad rush
for the scene of a rich gold discovery
80 miles east of here. near Lovelock. so
prospectors have fled in automobiles
to stake every inch of ground sur
rounding claims located last Saturday
by the MacKidon brothers. The news
OF the strike caused the exodus, and
tonight there was not rent" machine
left In Reno.
The discovery was beyond the first
range of hills west of Browns sta
ton, and at a point about 10 miles
from that station. 1t is short dis
tance from Lauries Wells, where a
strike was made last spring that oc-
casioned some excitement for time,
but eventually "petered OUT.
The present strike gives better evil
dences of permanency, besides being
much richer. The rock is of the gold
spangled, gold studded variety, which
is comprehensive1y denominated pic
ture rock" and it has been found in
several places in the neighborhood of
the original strike, indicating that
there is a considerable lode of it. The
range in which it was found is said
by those who have prospected Hum
boldt county extensively to be con-
tinuation of that in which the Seven
Troughs strike was made.
