as they put it.
The committee put its doings on
record, having stenographer on
hand at the meeting. The record
is now in the hands of the print
ers. 1t will be issued in circular
form. Each delegate reported on
the candidates he had heard from,
or those who had refused to an
swer. All went into the stenog-
rapher's record and will be repro
duced in the circular form and sent
to every part of the state, to union
men, and in fact almost everyone,
whether interested in union mat
tiers or not.
The direct primary law in put
ting stop to manipulation of votes
and voters by the strong political
machines has given union men
more power than ever to elect or
defeat candidates, and the execu-
tive and legislative committee of
the federation has been quick to
organize an aggressive campaign
and get the candidates on record
as to labor issues.

COUNCIL TAKES
Up BRIDGES
TONIGHT

The council will meet tonight to
consider among other matters the
question of new bridges, and
whether they shall be made of con-
crete or steel A petition has been
circulated among property owners
advocating concrete instead OF
steel for the East Olive av. bridge.
The special bridge committee of
the council recommended steel for
this point.
The Monroe st. bridge will prob
ably also. be taken up and the adj
visibility of making it of concrete
or steel considered. Engineer Raj
ston has estimated the cost of a
concrete bridge at this point at
$706,000, but private contractors
declare the cost will not be more
than $450,000. The majority of
the council favors concrete. Coun-
cilmen Schiller and Baldwin favor
a steel structure for Monroe st.

ROOSEVELT PET
HAS FAT JOB

+ WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. rs. =
Visitors returning from Panama
say that there is a good deal of
dissatisfaction and jealousy among
the higher officials of the canal
zone over the apparent favoritism
in the matter of salary and emolu-
ments, compared with the duties
performed, which, it is claimed, is
shown to one of their number
merely because he is a friend
of Roosevelt
Joseph Bucklin Bishope, secfe
tary of the canal commission, lis
the one concerning whom com.
plant is made, and it is declared
that the attention of congress and
particularly of the appropriations
committees will be called to the
matter at the coming session. Bis
hop draws an annual salary of
$4,000 and it is charged that there
has recently been built for him a
handsome residence at cost of
100000 which he occupies rent
of rent. In addition, it is alleged,
he has carriages and four horses
maintained at the cost of the gov
ornment. besides three messengers
who after doing their days work at
the Office are called upon to per-
form other duties at Bishops
house.
In return for all this fairness" it
is declared that Bishop does very
little work. He is supposed to
edit the Canal Record" a weekly
publication devoted to the printing
of reports on the progress of the
canal work and incidents of life in
the zone. But it is stated that
clerk performs practically all the
duties of getting out this weekly,
and that Bishop is scarcity ever at
his Office.
The affair has almost approach
ed the dimensions Of scandal, it
is said.

The Year 1908 Promises to
Beat Previous Record
in Chicago
Startling Figures Of Packing
House Products and
Live Stock Values

Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. 1.-THE year
1898 will be record breaking year
in the live stock industry if the first
two weeks of the year are any indi-
cation. The flood of cattle, sheep
and hogs that have poured into the
Chicago market since Jan. 1 have
nearly swamped the big packers,
whose busy season does not usually
begin until much later. AS a result
killing gangs nave been working ten
hours. a day. The receipts of live
stock during 1907 reached the enor-
nous total of 15,24S,479 animals,
which included 3,3O5,314 cattle, T.
POI, 061 hogs and 4,21S,1 sheep. This
was not quite up to the record of
the year before but a new record
was set for the price paid for the an
inals, which reached the dizzy figure
of 1896 $4,000. Packing house pro-
ducts for the same period were valu-
ed at $400,O00,00. These figures are
of Importance as showing the funda
mental prosperity of the West, whicl
is too firmly based to be long affect
ed by Wall street panics.

Financial Prosperity and Its Worries
and Perpiexities.
Once upon time Il young man and
a girl loved each other fondly He
was poor, but bright, energetic and
persevering. She was pretty, cheerful
and amiable. They married Their
friends thought they might have wait
ed until their prospects were better.
but they laughed prudence to scorn.
Two years after the marriage the
wife met one of her friends.
"How are you getting along?" asked
the friend
Every nicely" said the wife, beaming.
"My husband is so good, and l have
such a lovely baby. And, just think,
we have $1,000 in the bank, and we
don't owe cent to anybody!'
Five years later the friend met her
again.
81 hear you are doing very WELL
she said, 'Some one told me your
husband had $4,000 invested In real
/ estate"
"Why, yes" said the wife, '.but it's
such worry. There are repairs and
taxes and interest on mortgages, and
one Of the tenants has just moved out
owing us a whole months rent Isn't
! it a shame?'
Five years more elapsed. and again
the friend met her. tf
"They tell me you're growing rich, y
she said.
'Ye-es, but I'm anxious about the
stock market. Ny husband has $50 00O
| in stocks, and he thinks they're going
/ up, but I'm not so sure about 1t. In
deed, didn't sleep wink last night
Five years later another meeting.
"From what I hear your husband
will soon be millionaire"
"Oh, don't know" said the wife
| "He hasn't more than half a million
! vet And 1t is SO tied up in all sorts
of investments-one never knows how
they will turn out. l just wish WI
had enough to put the money in gov
eminent bonds so that we wouldn'1
have to worry. But Of course the in
come from half a million in govern
ment bonds wouldn't be enough tx

money we have! One crank has ever

lived, and she never ceased to be un
easy except in those brief intervals
