Good Bye Old Year.

We are about to step from the Old
Year to the New, and we are reminded
that after all orr tears aud a]pprrhrn-
sions, to many Of VA, it has been a very
kind year. To ONE we know that the
dark side has been turned, but after all,
there Is Il CLEAN Of sunshine for all if we
hut look for it,. We would not forget
that to look upon the homes OF some nf
our readers since last New Years day,
a shadow has fallen and n mantle o:
sorrow has wrapped lie inmates into
sombre folds. Other homes are like the
empty nests that hang on the wIthcrcd
bou.h, desolate because the liGe and
song went ont with the Lirds. NeS
homes hHve been made and old ones
nave been severed, but i'll our Oh ward
march,, it Ia well Ia stop aud weigh the
load each one carries. No life ls all
Sunshine or all storm. Ii the New Year
brings pro; peTlt!, let ia rejoice; Il
adrerslty, let us he brave, Tho sunset
gate OF lifs will SWING shut upon some
of Va ere the clotc Of another year. Lot

BANKER ROSS OF PORTLAND
FOUND GUILTY OF LARCENY

Salem, Ore, April 25.-J. Thorburn
Ross, former president of the defunct
Title Guarantee and Trust Company, of
Portland, was convicted Thursday of
larceny in having converted to his own
use $288,000 of the state school funds,
which had been placed in his custody,
as president of the bank, by State
Treasurer George A. Steel. The jury
was out only twenty-five minutes. Sen
tence will be imposed Monday. The
state law provides as penalty for this
crime, Imprisonment in the peniten-
tiary for from one to fifteen years, to-
gether with a fine equal in amount to
twice the sum which the offender is
proven to have stolen.
Investigations following the failure
of the Title Guarantee and Trust Com
pany on November IL, last exposed a
bad condition of affairs, and for weeks
the newspapers of Portland devoted
column after column to charges of ap-
palling recklessness in banking.
The case came to Marion county on
change of venue. Ross case, which
was the first assigned to trial, came
to hearing Monday last.

RAILWAY ASKS FRANCHISE
FROM PORT ANGELES

Port Angeles, April 25.-At the last
meeting of the city council an applica-
ton was made for franchises covering
the main terminal facilities of the
water front in the name of the Port
Angeles Railway & Terminal Company.
The company offers to place Port
Angeles in connection with Seattle by
rail and ferry within two years time
and to expend not less than $4,000
within the first year in construction
work. The company does not say what
road is behind it, if any, but the belief
is held here that the move is made in
the interests of the Milwaukee road,
which has within the past two years
accumulated vast holdings of timber
lands tributary to the harbor of Port
Angeles.

which they now dread.
obviously an organization not
formed for profit should not be re-
quired to furnish statistics in any way
as complete as those furnished by or
CARNATIONS for profit. Moreover, so
far as labor is engaged in production
only, its claims to be exempted from
the antitrust law are sound. This
would substantially cover the right of
laborers to combine, to strike peace
ably and to enter into trade agree
ments with the employers.
Boycott illegal.
But when labor undertakes in a
wrongful manner to prevent the dis
tribution and sale of the products of
labor, as by certain forms of the
boycott, it has left the field of pro-
duction and it's action may plainly be
in restraint of interstate trade and
must necessarily be subject to in
qulry, exactly as in the case of any
other combination for the same pur-
pose, so as to determine whether
such action is contrary to sound pub
Tic policy. The heartiest encourage
ment should be given to wage-work-
ers to form labor unions and to en-
ter into agreement with their en-
ployers. and their right to strike. so
long as they act peaceably, must be
preserved. But we should sanction
neither boycott, nor a black list
which would be illegal at common
law.
Allegations are often made to the
enect that there is no real need for
these laws looking to the more effect

Every Department Wonderland.

| In order to give the Tribune force
an opportunity to attend the fair now
being held in this city, this issue is
printed several hours earlier than
usual
OF the fair much can be said in its
| favor. Entries are numerous in every
department and the merits thereof are
in keeping with the age.
The horses, cattle. sheep, swine,
poultry, etc, placed on exhibition at
this fair are equal to the best to be
found anywhere, and the season having
been reasonably favorable for grain,
fruits and flowers. the displays in these
divisions are not only pleasing to the
eye, but clearly testify to the excel
lence and productive power of South.
western Wisconsin's soil for innumer-
able purposes.
In the household and domestic, the
culinary and the fine art departments.
the lady exhibitors prove their ability
and skill to a wonderful degree and the
thousands of spectators spend hours in
admiration.
The special features of this years
fair are equal to any ever offered by
the association. The Silverton- Oliver
Troupe and the Aerial Lloyds are two
of the best troupes on the road today,
and their exhibitions alone are worth
the price of admission to the fair.
The race entries are numerous, the
standing of the horses high, and some
exciting contests are sure to result.
Tie running races promise to be the
best of their kind witnessed in Mineral
Point for many years A complete list
of entries for Thursday and Friday |
races can be found on the last page of
