The material and moral growth Of
Roswell and Chaves county depends
on but one thing: the people of the
City Of Roswell and of Chaves coun-
~. We are located in a country with
an unsurpassed soil for fertility and
productive power; we have a climate
that is deservedly becoming famous
throughout the United States. and in
probably no other section of America
does there exist today such a LIANT of
opportunity and promise as the Pee
os Valley. hence it is up to the peo-
pie. Get busy along right lines and

Muncie, Ind, Feb. 3.-Fifty business

Muncie Merchants association, have
started out to break the union labor
boycott, which, they declare, is ruin

lines and penetrating into the factory

the union employees who have threat

cars of the Union Traction company
The merchants complain that fear of

COURT DENIES INJUNCTION
Pressmen's Union May Strike
if 1t So Decides.

Cincinnati, Feb. 3-Efforts of the
United Typothetae of America to
force the International Printing Press
mems and Assistants union of North
America to live up to an alleged agree
ment whereby the eight-hour workday
would not be instituted until after Jan.
1, 1909, met with defeat in United
States Judge Thompson's court when
Judge Thompson handed down a de-
cision in which he says the union
committee did not~have the power to
bind the union by the agreement it
entered into with the committee from
the TypOthetae. The Typothetae was
granted a temporary Injunction some
time ago to prevent the officers of the
Pressmen's union from calling a
strike. They asked for a permanent
injunction, claiming that the officers
of the union had signed an agreement
with the Typothetae for nine-hour
day and that an eight-hour workday
would not be instituted until after
Jan. I, 1909. The officers Of the union
admitted that the agreement had been
signed by some Of, them, but that it
was not binding, as the members of
the union had not ratified the agree
ment.
Judge Thompson, in his decision,
held that the agreement made by the
officers of the union providing for
nine-hour day does not bind the rank
and file of the union to work nine
hours, but only to work nine hours if
they work at all and he denied the
petition for permanent Injunction

CAN GO TO SOUTH AMERICA
Chile and Argentine will Wei
come Jap immigrants.

Toxic, Feb. 3-At a sectional meet
ing of representatives Baron Chinda,
vice foreign minister, in reply to a
question on the foreign emigration
policy of the government, pointed out
that South America was a favorable
ground for japanese emigrants and a
legation would be established in Chile
to promote better relations between
both countries on the matter of trade
and emigration.
The government had been making
careful Investigations, which show
that Chile and the Argentine Republic
are favorable to immigration and
Wherever said he, our emigrants are
welcomed, the government will not
prevent them going there.
It is believed it will not be neces-
sary to conclude any special treaty for
emigration and that existing stipula-
lions are sufficient to protect Japa-
nese Subjects
10 another question if it would not
be better to send emigrants chiefly to
Korea and Manchuria Baron Chinda
replied that it was not necessary to
limit their destination. Wherever an
opportunity offered for the promotion
of Japanese interests Japan's energy
would be directed there.
At another sectional meeting M.
Oeshi asked Minister Of War Terauchi
why Japan should maintain a large
military force and continue military
preparations in the presence of as
sured peace like the present. He also
pointed out the fact that the nation
was already feeling the burden en-.
tailed thereby.
Minister Terauchi replied that even
in European countries, where there
was not the slightest probability of
war, no nation retrenches in the mat
ter of it's national defense. The full
est military equipment was the best
guarantee Of peace. Japans arma-
nlent was. not directed against any
body, but the nation must always be
prepared against eventualities.

FOSSTON VISITORS WERE
ROYALTY ENTERTAINED
Professor Yeager and His Champion
Basketball Players Express Admir-.
alton of Our Hospitality.

One of the very desirable results
attained by the visit to this city on
Friday and Saturday of the
girls and boys basketball teams of
the Fosston high school was the
pleasant relations that have bee n
established between the members
of the two teams, the students and
teachers, which augurs we'll for con-
tinued intercourse between the two
places. "
Every effort was put forth by
Superintendent Richie and the
members of the teaching corps of
the Bemidji schools, the students
and members of the basketball teams,
to entertain the visitors in royal
manner, and hospitality was dealt
out with a lavish hand.
Saturday the members of the BOYS
high school team took the visiting
boys out on the lake for an iceboat
ride and saw to it that the visitors
lacked not for every attention.
While the game between the two
girls teams was being played Satur'
day evening, it was very noticeable
that the two teams put forth every
effort to win, yet they were on
friendly terms all through the con.
test.
At the conclusion of the Satur-
day game the members of the Be.
midi High School Athletic associa-
ton gave reception, party and
dance in the Odd Fellows hall, in
honor of the visitors. There was
dancing, vocal and instrumental
music, until II o'clock, when a sup.

were stories and general good time

GAS EXPLOSION CAUSES FIRE
confIagration Spreads So Rapidly
That All Means Of Escape by Or

Kansas City, Feb. 3.-Five persons
were burned to death and twelve 9TH
ers were injured in fire in three.

dotte street near the business section.
The dead are: Mrs. Jennie Bert, aged
twenty-nine, Harrisonville, No. wait.
ress; Mabel Porter, aged eighteen,
waitress; Nina Graves, aged eighteen,
waitress; Peter Rooney, aged thirty
four, cook; Charles Johnson, aged
twenty-eight, cook. III.
The injured received slight burns
and cuts and none is believed to be in
a dangerous condition. All of the dead
except Mrs. Bert lived in Kansas City,
The fire started from an explosion
OF natural gas in the basement. The
flames and dense smoke spread quick
ly throughout the building and before
an alarm could be given all means of
escape by the ordinary exits had been
shut off. The five persons who lost
their lives were asleep on the third
floor and all save Mrs. Bert were
burned to death in their rooms. Evi.
IDENTIFY they had been suffocated and
none apparently had even made an
attempt to escape. Before the firemen
arrived the building was a mass of
flames and the rooms on the upper
floors could not be entered. Mabel
Porter and Nina Graves, two of the
dead, occupied a room together. The
injured slept on the lower floors and
in the basement. Most of these es-
capped without aid, fighting their way
through the flames and smoke. The
firemen were able to rescue others
from the burning building.
Mrs. Bert lost her life in trying to
arouse the inmates. Being awakened
by the smoke she tried to arouse the
sleeping rOomers. The smoke and
>fames, however, now crowded her so
closely that she was compelled to de-
sist and sought escape by the stair
way. At the top of the second floor
landing she stumbled and, falling head
long down the stairway, landed in the
thlckest of the flames.
