In this our first issue, of the
present year, we take pleasure
IN extending to all the friends of
the News our New Year greet
lngs, trusting that each and
every one may be prosperous and
happy, that all may contribute
something to the advancement
OF their surroundings and round
up the year of 1909 with the
happy consolation of knowing
that good has been accomplished,
that duty has not called in vain.
That every one contributes, in
some wayEand in some degree,
to the good or to the bad, to ad-
vancement or retrogression in
the moral and industrial life of
our country is Gan axiom so
thoroughly known that it ought
to stimulate us all to live closer
to our New Year resolutions and
to bring to light the best within
our power to cheer the disconso-
late. to tighten thes.burdens of
our fellows and aid in every
movement towards advancement.
The year that has just closed has
It's history and in the limited field
in which the News works, it's
readers have been kept in close
touch, while the general indus
trial conditions of the country
gave this section a cramped
financial period, and while it has
not yet fully recovered, the signs
OF increasing prosperity are visa
BILE and we can all look forward
to better days, to greater sue
cesses in many ways. The News
passed through the dull period a
busy, constant Iworker and is
grateful to the public for true
and loyal support, given only to
the active and deserving in every
line of work. In biding fare
well to 1908 thesssNews feels no
sting of regret for it's efforts
made in behalf ofssthis section or
for any proposition it espoused.
We did our be!stunder the circum-
stances, loyal to conviction and
true to our judgment, and if
spared to pass through 1909, we
will pursue the same course. We
hope to see a more determined.
more united effort TO better nuh-
lie conditions in this part of the
State, and trust that the present
year will surpass any of the past
in substantial advancement in
Columbia, Adair and adjoining
counties.

his ability to take care of his side of
the case
The barbecue and field contests held
at Capital Beach Wednesday attracted
a large crowd. Judge Cosgrave and
Mayor Love gave addresses of vel
come and the OK was roasted to a
turn. The contests were full of eN-
citement and lasted until a reasonably
late hour.
There was considerable adverse
comment among union men of other
crafts on the fact that the commit
tee in charge of the engineers reunion
turned out a lot of its printing minus
the union label. and that right in
the midst of the hatters' strike, it was
widely advertised that the engineers
would offer as a prize in one of their
main contests five dollar Stetson
hat If there is any worse .sscab"
hat manufactured on earth than the
S.atson lot of union men who study
the game are not aware of the fact.
Chief Stones claim that the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers as
an organization stands head and
shoulders above all other labor organ
izations" was quite natural coming
from a man deeply interested in his
own organization and calling, but it
brought smile to the faces of some
men who belong to unions that have
never yet lot really big strike, and
that poured millions into their de-
ferse fund without sweating a hair.
Also the faces of a lot of union men
who have a habit of digging down
and helping brother workers when
they are in trouble.
Taken as whole the reunion was a
decided success, and the committees
in charge have right to be proud of
the results of their efforts and are en-
titled to the thanks of their fellow
craftsmen

Was Seemingly Success.

The reunion engineered by Division
No. 9S. Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers was the success that its
promoters planned for it, About 200
engineers attended, and there were
even more visitors. Many of the at
tendants came from the remotest part
of the country. Several secret meet
ings of the Brotherhood were held,
but there were several open meetings
in which railroad men of all the
branches participated.
Grand Chief Stone made strong
address during the convention, and he
and Mr.. Willard. of the Burlington
managerial staff had something of a
clash which produced considerable
