A Successful
Celebration.

eu our Cel0DIAIlOu OH SATURDAY,
July 3, showed evidence of being
we'll pleased with the days sports
and other enjoyments, and the
manner in which our citizens per-
formed their duties in connection
with them. The weather man, :"
being more than loyal on this
occasion, favored us with most ex-
cellent weather, and in conse-
quence Of this advantage, in con-
nection with the we'll arranged
program, Wibaux may boast Of
having entertained her largest
number Of visitors on that particll-
lar day.
The program was opened at an
early hour in the morning by a
number Of choice selections by the
Sentinel Butte band, and after
witnessing the clever work Of the
contortionist and juggler the
spectators proceeded to the fair
grounds where practically the
complete program was rendered.
At 9:45 o'clock an able and ap-
propriate address was delivered,
by Hon. E. F. Fisher, and imme-
diately following was the ball
game, between Wibaux and Bel
field, which occupied the balance
Of the forenoon; the ball game
was not what could be called a
good exhibition, as it turned out
somewhat onesided, however it
was witnessed with considerable
interest during the first half.
When the score was tied at four,
but Wibaux lost out badly in the
last half, and the final score was
Is to l. in favor of the visiting team,
who carried off the $50 purse,
the second money being $25.
The afternoon program consist
ed principally Of racing and other
field sports. The first being a
Wnee]barrow race and was won
by H. B. Smith, purse So, with

foot race, which was won by Carl
Berry, purse 81. Clem Parker
carried off So. purse as first
money in the mems race md
Holloway So. as second. The
girls foot race was won by Miss
Saltz, with Miss Bushman as
second, purses ST., and 5Ocents.
The horse racing, which began
at 2:lO, proved a very interesting
part Of the program. In the
quarter mile and repeat there were
four entries Pickering, owned by
Clocksin; Silver, owned by Frank
Carr; Montana D, owned by Miles
Brown, and Bay Belly, owned by
S. B. Chappell.
There were three heats. In the
first one Splinter took first place
Bay Belly, second; Montana D,
third, and Pickering fourth
While in the second heat Montana
D held first place, Bay Belly sec.
ond, splinter third, and Pickering
fourth. In the third heat Montana

FACTS.

Bear these figures In mind. as au-
thoritative facts given by Mr.. Ten
ney of the Planters Association:
OF 2.O75 Japanese on the payroll
April 80 at Eva plantation, only
29l were working at the SIS u
month rate.
For the year 1908 the average
wages paid to the japanese men,
women and children was $21.SO per
month of &c days.
All these labOrers have free
houses, free fuel, and free medical
attendance, thus making food and
clothing their only living" expense.
The more efficient laborers earn
more than $50 month.
Yet this strike. worked up by Agl
tators and forced upon reputable
Japanese workmen by Thugs, is bas-
ed on the false representation that
all Japanese, or the majority of
them are receiving the SIS a month
wage.

er's notes of SpreCkcls' testimony.
After reading the testimony, one
wonders at the state of mans mind
that should allow him to represent
Spreckels' answer as a confession of
blackmail or anything else that was
wrong
One admission Sprcckels did make
which proves that by his present ac-
tivity. in civic affairs he is making
up for multitude Of past sins of
Indifference. So far as he can re-
member the ballot he cast for Mayor
Taylor was his first vote. At least
he is not sure OF the other votes. If
there were any.
Spreckels' enemies aim to make
much of this by charging that his
more recent enthusiasm is merely a
means to work revenge.
To all appearances the Calhoun
forces are striving to put Spreckels
on trial. and they have been met
by the unexpected testimony of Cal
houn's head detective. who has been
telling the story of how he bought
up Burns detectives with Calhoun
or railroad money.
What the people want to know is
whether Mr.. Calhoun Is guilty of
bribery, and If the United Railways
is not the worst corrupting agent
San Francisco has ever had They
can hardly be expected to be con-
WINGED that this is of less import
ance than the number of times Ru-
dolph Spreckels has been in the vot-
ing booth.
Exercising the true gratitude of
Republics they may turn around and
spank Spreckels, but not until they
have finished with the arch con-
spirator.

TRUTH MUST PREVAIL.

The statement by L. d. Tenney
of the wages earned by the japanese
laborers on Eva and Wa;alua plan
tations wipes out great mass of
Justification with which the Agita.
'7rs have been bolstering their cause
. months.
Many have believed the eighteen
dollar-a-month story, exaggerated
md decorated with every repetition.
Many have thought the japanese
ought to get more than eighteen dol
lars a month when the plantations
have been making money under the
favorable price of sugar. They did
not stop to ask the facts. They took
the current cry and let 1t go at that.
Now the truth comes out.
On Eva plantation only 291 Jap
anese, of a total of 2,O15 employed,
received the much despised SIS per
month.
A little more than one-tenth of
the men who went out on strike I'M
der the SIS banner receive that
wage. The other nine-tenths re-
ceive from $50 Il month up.
May We not readily believe that
the SlS-tenth is composed of the
Thug and gambling element who
don't want to work? This is entire.
ly probable, and the sin of 1t all is
that such small proportion of tho
inefficient and criminal class should
have cajoled and threatened the
reputable workmon into quitting
their profitable labor and comforta-
BILE homes.
Mr.. Tenney's reference to the
temples and schools that have been
furnished at much expense by the
plantations recalls one of the de-
mands shaped presumably under the
direction of the Agitators. One
reason given for the demands for an
impossible wage Is that the temples
and their maintenance involve in
creased expense to the laborers.
When the plantation authorities
built these temples It was done UNI
der the impression that they were
adding to the comfort of their en-
ployees. This justified the cost.
Now the Agitators use 1t as an in
dictment against the kind-hearted
and thoughtful employer.
The more one gets into the heart
of the Agitator-Thug strike the more
thoroughly convinced must he be-
come that the movement is based on
untruths, deliberate falsehoods and
more or less artful invention.
The japanese spirit should assert
itself on the side of common sense
and honesty. Then 1t will be posi-
BILE to deal with the subject of re
Enumeration on its merits.

San FRANCISCO'S GRAFT VAR.

The war for the publication of
San Francisco continues to be a
war in which the advance guards of
both sides keep up such a running
fire of mud that 1t is almost impossi-
BILE to discern the real forces of JUS
tice. ...
The Calhoun newspapers gave
much space to what they claim Is
proof that Rudolph Spreckels while
on the witness stand admitted being
a blackmailer, who engaged In
the prosecution game for what he
could make, and that he tried to
hold up the United Railways TO
prove this statement the paper pub

I'19O8 were valued at $l,070,9S7, and
$I,52I,37O for March of 1909. This
means that the prosperity of this
Territory increases the purchases
from the mainland by nearly $500
900 a month, That should satisfy
our fellow countrymen that prosper
ity is not one-sided game.

HIS SACRIFICE.
Her Reproachful Eyes Compelled II
and She Never Thanked Him.

Her ReprOachfuI Eyes Compelled II
and She Never Thanked Him.
Could he make the sacrifice that her
searching eyes seemed to demand Of
him? 1t was of no use to pretend
that they did not. He felt that she
knew that he understood her silent
appeal and that If he failed her now
he would stand dlsgraced forever in
her sight.
1t was not a question Of conscience
there was nothing either in their col
orless past or their cherries present
that called for this ~renunciatioh on his
part-it was rather some finer instinct
in him that cried out against letting
an innocent woman suffer the conse-
quences Of what was no fault Of hers.
For that matter he himself was In
nowise to blame, and II he did the
thing that. loomed before him with
dreary distinctness 1t would be to sat
isfy his W perhaps too lofty ideas
rather than for her sake.
Why had fate thrown her upon his
mercy, he impotently wondered in his
desire to put or the decisive moment.
Those eyes of here! They stabbed,
they reproached, they e%loquently
pleaded with him! If she would only
turn them away and let him think the
thing out clearly.
One thing was certain. If 1t was to
be done at all II must be done at once.
Every moment that passed helped to
rob the act of any grace 1t might
possess. Then too he felt that some
trace Of his struggles was beginning to
write itself on his features and his
pride cried out against such a betrayal
of his emotions. 1t must be ended here
and now.
With a mighty effort he rose and
bowed. He even tried to smile, but a
sudden lurch OF the car nearly threw
him headlong.
Didn't even thank me! They never
do" he murmured bitterly as he
clutched the strap that hung above
the seat in which. she was already
comfortably settled.

,ating liquors; that, while the drunk
|ird makes himself Objectionable t.
every one else in manifold ways, the
opium smoker annoys nc one. The
argument is a poor one at best.
The smoking Of opium is very differ
INT from tobacco smoking, not only In
he apparatus used but in the method.
The pipe is about two feet long and IL
invariably made Of bamboo, hollow and
about an inch and a half thick. One
third Of its length there is fastened into
The pipe a bowl made Of clay or stone
This bowl is covered. save for a very
small hole (the thickness Of a pin) In
the center of the top.
Opium is always smoked In a reclin.
Ing position. The smoker lights the
lamp, and on the point Of one of the
needles, which much resemble crochet
needles, tapering at one end and fiat
tended at the other, he takes a little
opium the size Of a pea. He holds this
above the flame Of the lamp and II
slowly cooks" bubbling and sizzling
slightly like burning sealing wax. The
cooking takes all the moisture from the
opium, which before 1t Is cooked In
consistency and color much resembles
treacle. While 1t is cooking he rolls
1t every NICE In a while ove the bowl
Of the pipe until 1t assumes the shape
Of a little cone. Then the pipe bowl
Is slightly heated at the %orifice, and
the point of the needle Is thrust into
1t up to the pellet of opium. The pei
let sticks to the bowl and the needle is
withdrawn. Now the pipe is ready to
be smoked. This, also, Is a curious
operation.
The smoker, still reclining, places the
end of the pipe to his lips, and hold
ing the other end with the bowl over
the flame, draws in a deep breath. The
pill Of opium sizzles yer the fame
and Is drawn into the pipe in smoke.
and the smoke from the pipe to the
smokers mouth and lungs. When one
pill Is finished as many more are
cooked and consumed as the smoker
desires. The average opium smoker
consumes about eight of these pills at
one session.
