submitted to the city council or per.
sons placing orders for labor for re-
muneration. The penalty provided as
punishment for violations Is flxed at
not more than $500 or six months in
Jail or both.
The enactment of the ordinance,
which has no opposition In the council,
will give Spokane the distinction Of
being the frst city In tho United
States to legislate against dishonest
agents in this manner the purpose
being 10 break up their fraudulent
practices, against which the laborer
has no legal recourse at present.
Mayor Pratt says in his message to
the council that the supreme court OF
the state OF Washington has indicated
that employment agencies are sub.
iect to regulatory provisions. and"
he adds, there Is no doubt that the
ordinance suggested will be sustained
by the courts as a proper regulation Of
this business. The ordinance will give
protection to those who need and de.

the profit Of a business conducted on
legitimate lines

Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1909-09-24

On and after August ! parcels up to
eleven pounds in weight and of a
value not greater than $50 may be
sen through the mails from this
country to Japan at the rate of II
cents for one pound or for any frac-
ton of a pound, prepaid, says the
Philadelphia Inquirer.
This is the announcement which has
been made by the p~ostof1ice depart
ment, and it suggests the inquiry how
soon the public may expect the appli-
cation Of a similarly liberal arrange
ment to domestic traffic. The actual
situation is absurd, for while the pos
tai department stands ready to trans
port a parcel n pound in weight to
Yokohama or Tokyo for - cents, 1t
charges 16 cents for carrying such a
parcel across the river to Camden.
Nor is that all. The limit of
weight for parcels consigned from one
place in the United States to another
is four pounds.
Any parcel that weighs an ounce
e four pounds is unavailable, and if
deposited at the postoffice it will not
knowingly be forwarded to its desti.
nation.

Sergt. Dempsey followed his regi-
ment to China in another transport,
but found hat it had zone to the front
already, so he fell in with the famous
Reilly's battery, and made the march
with them to Picking. Although
wounded in the first skirmish, Sergt.
Dempsey subsequently rejoined his
own regiment, but his comrades soon
found that the rollicking sergeant Of
former days had been transformed to a
sober, serious, thoughtful soldier. The
canteen was forSaken and 1t was not
long before the men learned that the
s%pendthrift of earlier days had become
a man s~crupulously careful of his earn
ings, and every dollar went down to
the credit of the ~paymaster.
At the close of the disturbance his
regiment was again ordered to Manila,
and as soon as the troops were landed
Sergt. Dempsey walked up the Escolta
to the shipping commissioners office
and wired the Norwegian consul. The
superintendent of army trasport wrote
Jack a letter giving him the home ad-
dress of the unfortunate quartermas-
ter, Olav Nassjo. Afterward a letter
from Norway arrived informing him
thai his savior had left a widow and
