BAND TROUBLE TO
Be SETTLED soon.
Understanding Will Be Reach
ed by Union and the
Fall Festival.
FIRST BID WAS TOO HIGH
so " Is PROBABLE UNION Or
GANIZATIoN WILL SUBMIT A
LOWER oNE-ouEsTIoN WAS
CONSIDERED.

The question of unionism entered In
to the discussion of the executive CON-
mittee meeting Of the Fall Festival last
evening, and the band proposition was
again thoroughly rehearsed. Bids
we're submitted by the Richmond City
and the Union bands. and the whole
matter resolved itself into a business
proposition to the executive commit
tee. While it was the unanimous
opinion of the committee that both
bands Of this city be employed, the bid
Of the Union band was entirely too
high and the executive committee feels
that II they can get just as good music
and decidedly cheaper, from another
band they should take it and the mat
ter should be viewed purely in the
light of any other business proposition
"a question Of finance.
A Fair Proposition.
Walter Runge represented the Union
band at the meeting last evening and
stated that it was not his intention to
appear hostile towards the committee
or the fall festival. That all Of tbs
members Of the band were just as much
interested In the welfare Of Richmond
rs anyone else and that il the Union
band was not employed he did not be.
lieve 1t would occasion any i'll feeling
or cause any trouble to arise over the
engagement of Smitties band OF Gin
cinnati, which is a union organization.
It was stated by Mr.. Runge that Smit-
ties band would be permitted to play
In this city even though the local union
band were not employed according to
the rules of unionism, providing the
local union did not object to such a
procedure. This changed attitude on
the part Of the union band met with
the decided approval of all the men,
bers of the executive committee, who
greatly appreciated Mr.. Runge's
friendly view of the matter.
The committee found that they were
up, against exactly the same PROPOSE
ton with which the union band has
had to face on frequent occurrences.
II was stated by Mr.. Runge that the
hand often had to send out OF the city
for other players and while they could
easily enough get union players from
other cities. non-union players were
engaged by the band because Of the
fact that they could be obtained much
cheaper.
Business Proposition.
And SO with the executive commit
tee If they can get another band to
deliver the goods at a cheaper rate, It
is for the interests OF the people. by
whom the money has been entrusted,
to the committee, to strike the best
bargain possible. The matter was ex-
plained carefully to Mr.. Runge who
thoroughly understands the position
and realizes that II the union band IS
not employed 1t will not be on ac-
count of any feeling OF hostility that
exists for that organization. Mr..
Rnnge stated that he would consult
the members of the band and try and
arrange for lower bid II possible
which will be submitted at the next
regular meeting Of the executive COM
mittee next Tuesday evening.

RACINE FIRE LOSS $3.50, 900.

dangersng Factory District.

Speciality Burns, En-
dangersng Factory District.
The plant of the Racine Manufac-
turing Company, manufacturers OF
automobile bodies and piano stools, to-
gether with the Danish Brotherhood
Hall, building of the Mitchell & Lew
is wagon works, and several residences
were destroyed by fire in Racine, en-
failing loss estimated at s650,000, of
which all but $4,000 is borne by the
Racine Manufacturing Company. The
latter concern carried $250,000 insur-
ance. The origin of the fire is net
known. The fire started in the mill
room of the Racine Manufacturing
sCompany's plant, which comprises six
buildings. The flames spread quickly
throughout the entire plant. The main
building was six stories in height and
five other structures of the plant con-
sisted of four stories. The entire
plant occupied a city block and most
of it was new. The flames spread to
the Danish Brotherhood Hall and de-
stroyed that structure, the loss being
$1,000, with $500 insurance. The
Mitchell wagon works stouehouse and
Peter Sinnen's two story brick block
next burned, with a loss Of $4,000,
divided $4,000 and $4,000, respectively,
partly covered by insurance. The fire
was checked after a saloon, boarding
house, and several residences had been
destroyed. 1t was the biggest fire ex-
perienced by Racine in twentysix
years. The firemen were hampered by
frozen MIGRANTS. Assistance was call
ed from Milwaukee and an engine
company was brought ON a special car
from that city. While the Milwaukee
department succeeded IN checking the
flames, most of the damage was done
before assistance arrived. The Racine
Manufacturing Company employed
q 200 men, who will be thrown out of
employment until the plant lis rebuilt.

The Farmers of Central Canada Reap
Wheat and Riches.

Up in the Provinces of Manitoba.
Saskatchewan and Alberta, the prov
inces that compose Central Canada
have such a quantity of land suitable
for the growth of small grains. which
grow so abundantly, and yield so hand
somely that no fear need be feared
of wheat famine on this Continent.
T@e story reproduced below is only
one of the hundreds of proofs that
could be produced to show the results
that may be obtained from cultivation
of the lands in these provinces. Almost
any section of the country will do as
well.
With the country recently opened by
the Grand Trunk Pacific, the latest Of
the great transcontinental lines to en-
ter the field of the development of the
Canadian West, there is afforded added
ample opportunity to do as was done
ia the case cited below:
To buy a section of land, break 1t
up and crop it, make s17,55e out of the
yield and S10,880 out of the increase
of value all within the short period
OF two years, was the record estab-
lished by James Bailey, a well-known
farmer within a few miles of Regina.
Mr.. Bailey bought the Gao acres OF
land near Grand Coulee two years ago.
He Immediately prepared the whole
section for crop and this year had 600
acres of wheat and 40 acres OF
oats. The wheat yielded 1885 BUSH
els, and the oats yielded ALSO bushels.
The whole of the grain has been mar
keted and Mr.. Bailey is now worth
SIT, $50 from the grain alone. He
bought the land at SIS an acre, and
the other day refused an offer of $50
an acre, just SIT advance from the
time of his purchase. The land cost
$11,320 IN the first instance. Here are
the figures CT the case: Land first
cost, $40 acres, at SIS, S11,320. Wheat
yielded 1855 bushels, at "a cents
bushel, $16,695 Oats yielded ALSO
bushels, at % cents bushel, $3.50.
Offered for land, $40 acres at S35 an
acre, s22,400. Increase value of land,
$10,SS0. Total earnings of crop, S17,-
$50. together with increase in value of
land, total of s28,540.
1t is interesting to note the figures
of the yield per acre. The wheat
yielded 1912 bushels to the acre, and
oats 1877 bushels to the acre. The
figures are fair Indication of the av-
erage throughout the district.
Agent of the Canadian Government
in the different cities will be pleased
to give you information as to rates,

A Joke of Mark Twain's.

that when he used his influence to get
young Gillette on the stage he thought
he was playing great joke on the

after all. Il don't know" said Mark
