Viewers at the Wyandotte
W0rsted Mill Out On Strike,

A strike is on in the weaving room
at the Wyandotte Worsted mill but in
all prObilities will be a short one, rs
the Weavers are not union men and
others can be secured to take their
places. The weavers, numbering So,
went out Monday morning and since
that time have held meetings and per-
sistently refused to return unless their
demands are granted. committee
waited on Supt.. Barrows of the mill
Tuesday, but was not granted an in
terview.
me trouble arose Monday morning
When the weavers on account of the
non-supply of long bobbins We're COM
PEELED to use short ones, which they
Claimed were not suitable and they
were unable to secure as much COM
pensation as when the larger bobbins
were used. Several of the weavers OBJ
jected strongly, but they were inform
ed by the management that they would
either use the bobbins allotted them
or leave the mill. This led the other
employees of the weaving room to strike
and during the morning all weavers
quit work
They Immediately went into session
and during the day sent committee
to the management Of the mill, but
were refused an audience and the man.
ayers had nothing to concede The
Weavers are not organized but several
busy sessions were held during the
day and they positively one and all
refused to return to work under the
conditions.
Supt. Barrows was interviewed by Il
Journal man Tuesday afternoon and
was perfectly willing to make known
the facts concerning the matter. He
stated that for short period Of time
the supply of large bobbins had be-
come exhausted and they were forced
to use the smaller ones, owing to the
inability of the management to pro-
cure the larger ones Immediately. BY
using the smaller ones the weavers
were perhaps unable to earn as much
as when they had the larger bobbins,
as they would run out sooner; but he
stated that this fact could not be
helped and that it was more advan-
the employees to use the large bobbins
Supt Barrows thought that the
weavers were too hastv in tr"'~ ACTION

were very impulsive and all did not
thoroughly understand the situation
He stated that he had nothing to ar
bitrate and for that reason refused
to see the committee that called to wait
on him Tuesday. He was ready 10
pay all employees during the day but
the weavers decided to wait until their
regular pay day before accepting the
wages.
The weavers in the meantime met

REGISTRATION BEGINS.

July - was the first day of regis
tration for the Indian lands soon to
be opened by the government in the
Spokane reservation, Washington; the
Flathead reservation, Montana, and
the Occur d'Alene in Idaho. The
throwing open for settlement of these
immense tracts-more than 100000
acres of desirable farming land-has
created a widespread interest and
large numbers of people are already
going into the country to locate de-
sirable pieces, which they will ask
the government to give to them
should they draw n of the lucky
numbers. The registration will con-
tinue until August 8. The places of
registration are K~alispell and Nilsson
la, Montana, for the flathead lands;
Spokane for the Spokane land, and
Occur d'Alene for the lands of the
Occur d. Alene reservation. The
drawing will commence August 9 and
continue until completed.
The fact that this Is the last big
opening the country will ever e has
added interest to the event. OF the

1000 0 acres has been allotted the

ervation lies in Flathead county, in
the northwestern part of Montana,
and on the west side of the main
range of the Rocky Mountains. The
great valley is protected from strong
winds and storms by the mountains
on all sides, and enjoys the warm,
modifying influence of the Pacific
ocean to a marked degree in winter.
The soil of the valley is a dark rich
loan on a clay subsoil, usually with
out rock or gravel. The rainfall is
usually ample to raise most crops
without irrigation.

the southern part of Stevens county,
Washington, about thirty miles from
Spokane. 1t is bordered on the south
by the Spokane river, east by Cham.
okane creek and west by the Columbia
river. 1t contains about $4,000 acres
of agricultural land and also cOnsid-
cradle timber land. The soil is sandy
with a little white clay intermingled.
The climate is very similar to that of
the rest of the Spokane valley, but
there are no high winds, as the lands
are protected by mountain ranges on
either side. The land will be most
valuable for fruit raising. Soil eli
mate and altitude render it especially
available for apple growing. With
proper cultivation all small fruits may
be grown. There is also a mineral
belt, containing the great lodges of
the Deer Trail country.
The Occur d'Alene reservation is
located about eighteen miles south
east of Spokane. 1t includes some Of
the finest farm lands in Idaho, parts
Of it now being valued at 500 an

WOLF BOUNTY LAW.

State auditor Hirning is sending out
a letter to county auditors calling their
attention to the provisions of the wolf
bounty law as they stand at present,
and containing the following rather
peculiar paragraph:
There is perhaps no other law that
is so much violated as the wolf bounty
law, and this department has permit
ted it with the hope of getting the leg
islature to amend it in such a way
as to make it practical. But after
an honest effort with n last legis-
lature we failed to do so and hence
have concluded to require the county
auditors and wolf bounty claimants TO
comply with it from now on" Atten-
ton is then called to the provisions
of the law which limits the date Of
bounty to wolves which were killed
prior to July l Of the year in which
the bounty is claimed; requiring all
wolf scalps to be exhibited to the
county commissioners, or left with the
county auditor within thirty days after
the animals are killed; requiring the
county commissioners to examine the
scalps and cut off and burn the lower
jaw; and requiring certificates to be
filed with the state auditor within
thirty days after they are issued. Any
certificates which come in late, OF do
not show full compliance with the
law will not be considered in the
distribution of the bounty. Even as
it is the holders of certificates will
not get more than seventy cents on
the dollar this year, and from the run
of certificates from the July meetings
of boards is al heavy as 1t usually is,
the amount will be wen less than
that.
