EMPIRE

some OF the writers were dlSCu1lng |
unionism. | will try to show how
much unionism tbeta is at Empire, |
Several years ago the mines at this /
place came out and struck for two !
and half cent raise on the ton. They /
were out two days before any action /
WAS taken by the Empire Coal Comra /
ny. OF course Empire is not a uniowI
camp, but it has some good union men
living in it, On the second Gay of the
strike Frank Nelson, the president of
the Empire Coal Company came out
from Birmingham aud began to inve>-
tigate the matter. In the mean time
the miners had several meetings, and
it was rumored that they were going
to organize it. On the third day of
the strike Mr.. Nelson told the miners
that all who wanted to stay on and
work for the old price could go back to
work next day. He promised them
that every month that they put out
u, 500 tons of coal that he would give
| them the 215C raise, when he knew
that they could hardly get that much
out two months in the year, Next
/ morning the mines started up. About
30 men went in to work for the old
price, If they had stuck together with
the rest three days longer they would
have been getting 5115c. for the ma.
chine coal ana 6213c for the solid coal'
instead of 55c and Coo. Now, was that
unionism? Did those men who came
out and struck for higher ray and then
20 back to work on pretty promise
stick to their friendsY No, they did
not. SO they are not fit to be called
white men IF the world was full of
such men a strike would never do any
! good. Men ought to stick to one an
other like brothers

SEEK WATER IN HORSE HEAVEN
Moran Brothers Of Seattle Will Bore
Deep In Dry Region.

Determined to obtain a good flow
of artesian water, regardless Of ex-
pense boring will continue on the
Moran tract in Horse Heaven indef-
initely, according to Captain L. Jen-
sen, says the Prosser Bulletin.
Moran Bros. is the big shipbuilding
firm of Seattle, many times million
aires. They own great tracts of high
wheat lands in the Horse Heaven
country, 20 miles south of Prosser,
and interested with them in the at
tempt to secure artesian water is the
Campbell Lumber Co., which owns
nine sections and other owners of
wheat lands in the same vicinity.
For two months Captain Jensen,
who has a crew of five men and a
horsepower gasoline plant, has
been steadily boring through the
solid rock formation which was en-
countered almost from the grass
roots. The we'll is to be a big
one, 13 inches In diameter, and not
withstanding many delays on account
of injury to the machinery and ag-
gravating delays in obtaining supplies
depth Of 112 feet has been reached.

ALLOTTING RANGE.
Blue Mountains Reserve Is Being
Distributed to StOcllmcn.

The Prineville Review gives the
following characteristic review of the
range allotments in the western di-
vision of the Blue mountains reserves:
Supervisor \. S. Ireland is a very
busy man these days, taking applca-
tions for summer range in the west
ern division Of the Blue mountains
national forest He is holding forth
a. the county court house, where all
day long a stream of applications
pours in on him. Three days time
is allowed for applicants to file their
demands. Range allotments will be
made about the 1st of May.
Besides the filing of applications,
the various committees are hard at
work drawing up dividing lines for
cattle and sheep districts, so as to in
sure absolute harmony between the
one-time conflicting industries
There are something more than
100 men in attendance, including To-
cal stockmen. They are from Ante
lope, Kent, Mitchell, Fossil, Rich
mond, Hay Creek. Twickenham, Ash
wood, and other points north, and
upper Crooked river is also repre-
sented.
These men represent a combined
working capital of several million
dollars, but no one would ever sus-
pect this unless he knew them per-
sonally. They dress as plainly as pos
sible, taking comfort rather than ap-
pearance into consideration. There
is an entire absence of that charac-
tertistic known as "swell head" about
them and they are as jolly lot now
and almost as ready for a frollc or
good time as they were 20 years ago
when herding sheep or riding the
range without a dollar in the world

MONEY COMING TO PORTLAND.
Life Insurance Company Is Sending
S5,OOO,OOO to the West.

Arrangements under way for some
tine by the Equitable Fire Assur-
ance Society of New York to place
100000 subject to loan through
Portland agency are nearing con-
summation, and within a very short
says the Oregon Daily Journal. 1t
will be followed by the placing of
larger sums by the same company
through this agency.
The result is expected to have the
effect of a severe jolt to a certain
class of capitalists who have had
large sums of money to loan during
the financial strngency and have
held out for exorbitant interest rates
and unreasonably heavy security.
Many thousands of dollars have been
held up for I and 8 per cent and lent
on these and even higher rates for
as soon as the money market be-
comes easier, as it Is bound to do
with the advent of a few millions
of eastern money.
The interest rate to be charged for
the use of the Equitable's money will
not exceed 5 and per cent, and
some of it will undoubtedly 90 out as
low as per cent. The company
gets and 4 per cent for Its money
loaned on long time In the east,
and 5 per cent in the middle west,
and on the Pacific coast the bulk of
1t will be let out at and per cent,
1t is expected that the Portland agen-
cy of this company will have no trou-
BILE in at once securing the cream Of
the current business
Large loans made in Portland on
ample security before the recent per,
iod of depression drew 6 per cent.
There are a few old time loans Of
large proportions still outstanding at
5 per cent. The lowest rate of inter,
est believed to obtain in Portland on
any large loan is that Of the Cham
Der of Commerce building, which for
years has had very low rate of in,
terest.
When the New York Life first
made a loan of 100000 on this
property the rate of interest was
per cent. 1t continued at this rate
until the loan was renewed a year
ago, at the time the property chang
ed ownership, when under pressure
of the then existing prosperous times
the new owners. it is said, consent
ed to an increase of the interest rate
to 1-2 per cent

ALLY CHURCH WITH SALOON.
Long Island Rector Makes u Most
LudicrOus Appeal.

The most ludicrous and inconsistent
appeal for the liquor business yet
put before the public comes from
Louisville, Ky. A dispatch from that
place says:
In a remarkable speech before the
Model License league at Its session
here, the Rev. William J. Wasson,
rector of the Grace Protestant Epis-
copal church of Riverhead, l.. l.,
declared the church and the saloon
must get together to fight these
prohibitionists. His speech was
applauded by the large number of
brewers and distillers present.
The Model License league was or
ganized to urge the adoption of a
Liquor license law which shall elimi-
nate disorderly saloons and remove
the liquor business from the control
Of politicians. Legislators. publicists
and state and city officials were in
,luded among the delegates
During the session the Rev. Mr..
Wasson said:
The church cannot longer afford
to have its name exploited in the
manner in which it is being used by
the prohibitionists. The church can
not acquiesce in the prohibitionist
sentiment that man cannot be a
good Christian and handle or drink
liquor. The church and the prohibi-
tionists are as far apart as the poles"
He declared that the prob 'bitionists
are puritanical, and that the Puritan
is a manufacturer and wholesale
dealer in artificial sin"
"Intemperance can never be re-
moved by the policeman's club or the
Sheriff's warrant. l am opposed to
the whole prohibition philosophy be-
cause l think it is an outrageous in
on human rights.
The real question before the
American people today is what kind
of saloon shall we have?'
Shall we have open, Legitimate sa-
looms or underground dives and dens?
Il believe that the church and the
liquor trade should stand shoulder to
shoulder in this great fight. We need
each other. There must be co-opera-
tion. without Interference with the
liberties and rights of American citi-
zens."

traordinary narration of self defense

Judge Cheadle declared that the
verdict convinced him more than
ever that 1t was safer to kill man
in Fergus county than 1t was to
steal a horse. The court announced
he would tolerate no handshaking in
his presence, directing Smith to re-
serve his expressions of thankfulness
till out of sight of the court.
Fairburnes killing followed a con-
fession by Mrs. Smith to her hus-

that before the wedding she had been
intimate with Fairburne and about
30 other men in Pine Grove. Smith
lured Fairburne into the presence OF
his wife, confronted him with her
tale and then shot him.

Disproving a Saw.

Before the days when ready made
clothing was sold regularly below cost,
with discount from that price off
for cash, some one who presumably
knew declared with some feeling that
it took nine tailors to make a man.
Even in these days three times three
tailors by putting their heads together
might be able to make one of those
nice men who come in so handy as
part of the decoration scheme to match
the parlor furniture. but not so many
tailors as that are needed to make a
presidential candidate.
1t is handed to us by wise man as
serious reason why we should elect
one of the candidates that his coat Is
always wrinkled.
Evidently a secondhand clothing
man could come nearer making a presi-
dental candidate who was looking for
popular votes than could a score Of
artistic tailors.

The Most Common Cause of Suffering.

The Most Common Cause Of Suffering.
Rheumatism causes more pain and
suffering than any other disease, for
the reason that it is the most COM
mon of all ills, and it is certainly
gratifying to sufferers to know that
Chamberlain Pain Balm will afford
relief, and make rest and sleep pos
sible. In many cases the relief from
pain, which is at first temporary, has
become permanent, while in old peo-
pie subject to chronic rheumatism,
often brought on by dampness or
changes l.. the weather, a permanent
cure cannot be expected; the relief
from pain which this liniment affords
is alone worth many times It's cost.
