them in their movement of bringing
Coffeyville into the league. They state
that they have raised over $1,000 to de-

statistics prove that Coffeyville is
one of the big hustling towns or the

A 5000, 900 SUBSIDY.

Kansas City, MO-. Feb. I'D. J..
Half, an attorney for the Kansas City,
Mexico & Orient railroad, has received
a telegram from Mazatlan in the state
of Sinaloa, Mexico, saying that the leg
islature of that state had granted a
subsidy Of $1,000 for every kilometer
that state in reaching Topolobampo. Its
Pacific port. A kilometer is about
f1ve-eighths Of mile. The distance
traversed across the state by the KAN
sas City, Mexico & Orient is about 200
kilometers. m maxim .t the o bonus offered
The Sinaloa bonus is gratuitous, as
the route was located long before a
subsidy was thought Of and already
about 100 kilometers Of road have
been built in Sinaloa from Topolobam-
Pc to Hornillos. Between HQrnillos
and the state line is a distance, Of sew
enty miles of very rough country. The
railroad company must pierce range
of the Sierra Madre mo Antafns. which,
in place, rise to a height of 5000 feet.
partly due to a visit made to this city
last October by General Francisco
Canedo, governor of the state of Sina-
1oa. His state had been practically
isolated before the Orient began Its
work there, and the governor was. OF
course, interested in the road. On his
return to Sinaloa, the general began
work for a bonus for the company, and
the telegram this morning from Man
uel Chaza, the governors son-in-law
tells Of his success.
There are no conditions to the sub
sidy except that the road be completed
through the state. But although 130
of the 200 kiiometers have already
been finished, two years may elapse
before the road is completed from
Hnryi1Joc n Raanvno in fha Sfafa 0f
Chihuahua, just northeast of Sinaloa.
Across those mountains in this inter-
vening territory, a grade Of PA per
cent must be built. This means many
cuts of great depth.
Besides the subsidy just granted by
the state of Sinaloa, the Kansas City.
Mexico & Orient has already bonuses
from the national government and
from the state of Chin uahua.
The subsidy from the governm emf
amounts to $500, 900; that of Chi
huahua amounts to three-quarters of a
million dollars.

G. A. R. VETERANS
TO Be A FEATURE
Survivors of Great War Will
Participate in Fourth of
July Parade---Race
Track Prepared.

That bumper Fourth of July c ele-
bration planned by Hamilton to out
class all past efforts is ready to tap.
The committees have completed their
work and everything has been pre-
pared for the big crowd to come, see
and enjoy. And the attendance will
break all records.
Work was started today on the re-
pairing of the race track on south
First street. The street will be 1eveled
up for the f1eet-footed horses that it is
assured will enter. Horses are ex-
pected to come from all parts of tn c
country to compete for Hamilton's
generous purses, and it can be safely
predicted that this years horse races
will be above the standard.
A pleasing feature of the days enter
tainment is the proposed participation
of G. A. Il. veterans in the parade.
These Survivors of the great war, few
in number and worn by the in f rmities
of age and hardship, are certainly
deserving of premier place in any
patriotic parade.

higher than the wages paid by any
lumber manufacturing concern out
side of Montana in this western
country. The Montana hours of labor
are 10 per cent shorter.
1--WE are, however, willing to pay
this scale, but the one that has been
in effect since May l, 1907, has been
to make the manufacture of lumbe at
d profit impossible. The firms of
Montana have been unable to compete
with the miIlE in Idaho and Washing
ton. In evidence of this is the fact
that the lumber for the fumes of the
irrigating company at Hamilton is be-
ing shipped in from Idaho, alth ough
our mills right there offered to furnish
the lumber at figure which was prac-
tically the cost of manufacture.

the old wage scale. No adjustment,
however, was reached. Meetings of
the local union were held Sunday ,
Monday and Tuesday nights at which
the matter was thoroughly discussed. .
1t was voted not to return to the old
scale and the walk-out occurred this
committee, whose conduct in ordering
the strike is approved by majority
of the members of the union.
The logging train will be disconti n
ued, making it's last trip to Darby to-
day.
1t is the impression among the en-
ployes of the mill that the strike may
be long standing. The employees of
the mill at Bonner voted to continue
work and acc ept the reduction, whic h
may weaken the case of the local
strikers. The wages paid at the Harn-
ilton mill varied from a minimum of
So. so a day for common labor to a
maximum of So for skilled labor.
Supt. ]. E. Totman, of the local
lumber department of the A. c. M.
Co., when seen by a Western News re-
porter yesterday, declined TO make a
statement relative to the strike.
John r. Toole, head of the Big
Blackfoot Milling Co., discussing the
trouble last night in Missoula, said:
'The scale which the men at the
Bonner mills have decided to accept
and which the men at the Bitter Root
camps have rejected, is the scale that
was in effect prior to May 1, 1907 .
That scale is from 10 to Is per cent

MASONIC RELIC WITH HISTORY.

During the gatherings of Masons in
most interest to the nemb ers was an
old apron owned by Col. c. M. Crutch-
field of Hamilton, brought to Butte by
Isaac Williams of Darby, 1t was the
property of Mrs. Crutchfield's great
great-grandfather Markham B. Payne
of Warrenton, Va, and is approxi-
mate1y a century and half old. Ira
dition which comes down with the
heirloom says that it was worn by
George Washington when master of
Alexandria lodge.
The apron is of silk, and the phrch-
ment hue as we'll as the breaks in the
fabric attest its great age. 1t is hand
painted with the conventional Masonic
emblems, the grouping of which prov
ed an interesting study to the me M
bers of the craft who viewed it whil e
it was here in Butte.
Colonel Crutchfield keeps the inter-
esting relic in frame from which it
was taken to be sent to Butte for this
meeting. George Witcomb of Ha mill
ton, who was here to attend the Scot
tish Rite convocation and the Shrine
ceremonial, is familiar with the apr on
and its history, and assisted in the
exhibition of it at the Masonic temple.

The A. c. M. Co. sawmill closed
down last night for an indefinite per-
iod. There is not wheel turning to-
day. A suspension of operations has
been threatened for the past thirty
days, but it was believed that the
questions at issue between the opera
tors of the A. c. M. Co. mills and the
employees relating to wages would be
adjusted without precipitating strike.
The strike affects the entire lumber
industry, including the big mill, and
'planer and the box factory as we'll as
