Should Become Acquainted

A local photographer tells tfe
following story. A well known
man of this city whose wife evil
IDENTIFY had had the baby's picture
taken rushed into the studio one
day last week and asked for the
proof of the sitting. He was given
what the artist thought was
the proof, pronounced it a good
likeness of his little tot at home,
and started off. After dinner he
came back, looking sort of sheep
iSh, and remarked that he had
gotten the wrong proof, that it
was not his baby, but some one
elses, that he had taken the proof.
The laugh is on both artist and
father. The father should get
acquainted with his offspring.

Necessaries VS.. LuXuries

One of the claims made for the
new tariff bill by Senator AID
rich and other sponsors was that
it bore down strongly upon the
luxurieS, thus making the rich
who consume them, pay more for
them, while at the same time it
greatly reduced the rates on the
neceSSaries, the things that the
great middle class use, thereby re
ducing the prices upon them.
The News was curious to learn
whether this was true or not. 1t
listed eight other articles which
are diStinctively necesSarieS. Here
they are:

GOOD RACES AT
DRIVING PARK
Four TrOtting and Three Running
Contests on Monday

More interest in the Occur d'Alene
driving park has developed than the
promoters expected when they leased
the tract of ground at the head OF
Fourth street and began to lay out
track for speeding purposes. While
the formal opening of the track does
not occur until Monday afternoon.
many horsemen have been using 1t
lately, and each fair evening has seen
the drivers gather, along with quite
a crowd Of people, to watch the
friendly contests. These preliminary
meetings have developed the fact
that there are number OF speedy
steppers in Occur d'Alene, and the
promised rivalry among horsemen 70
outstrip their competitors may pos
sibly result in the importation Of
horses of higher grade in the mat
ter of speed.
For Monday afternoon quite a pro-
gram has been arranged and the pub
lie are invited to come out and wit
ness the sport. The program pro-
vides for four trotting and two quar-
ter and one-half mile running races.
About thirty horses have been en-
tered for these different contests,
and every one of them will develop
some real sport. In fact, If you want
to reap a dividend of several hun
dred per cent in fun on your invest
ment, you can do 1t by going out to
the driving park Monday afternoon.
The program will begin promptly at
2 o'clock.
1t is believed now that a racing
meet to last thirty days viii be pulled
off here in August. following the
close Of the Butte meet. This will
bring about two hundred horses and
large number of people to Occur
d'Alene. Negotiations looking to
that end are now on, with every as
surance Of success.

KALISPELL, Mont, May 20
The situation at Somers Lumber
company's plant, where more than
400 lumber workers have been on
strike, is still far from normal. More
than 200 men still hold out, although
the mill and planer are running with
reduced forces. An agent of the
company is in Kalispell picking up
men to replace the strikers. Those
who refused to return to work yes
terday morning under the terms Of
fered have been permanently dis
charged.
Organizer Heselwood went to
Somers upon notice that the mill had
resumed and attempted to reorganize
the men. but met with Indifferent
success. A portion Of the union
forces met and Endorsed the strike
and the manner in which the district
organizer is employing forces. The
union today made another call on
the river and camp men to stand pat.
Unless the strike-breakers are inter-
fered with, sufficient men will be
p,cked up to fully man the plant,
