SAM WINEMAN And
HIS WHITE TURKEY

Devils Lake Journal, When you see
a group of men convulsed with laugh
ter today, you may be sure that one Of
them has been relating q story about
Sam Wineman's big white Thanksgiv-
ing turkey. II you are not newspaper
reporter, they may possibly give you
an opportunity to share In their merri-
ment but they will probably examine
you carefully first, to see that YOU have
not note book and q pencil concealed
somewhere about your person.
We have been unable to secure any
Of the particulars. but as near as we
can guess. Sam arranged with a special
friend. who brakes on the Farmers
line, to procure q good, fat turkey for
his Thanksgiving dinner, at some sta
ton on the road. The brakeman agreed
and promised to leave the bird at GER
tain business house. True to his trust
he selected a nice, fat young turkey,
took IL to the car and laid 1t up on one
Of the satchel racks.
Tt so happened that rural nimrod
who had shot big, white owl, conclud-
ed that he would have had 1t mounted
and was bringing 1t into the city for
that purpose, coming in on tho same
train. He had IL tied up in a package
and when he entered the car placed II
UP on the same rack where Sans tur-
key was peacefully repesing. On arriv-
ing in the city the owl collector but
toned his ulster tightly about him
picked up one Of the packages and LEFT
the car. Shortly afterward the faith
| full brakeman, who had been attending
! to his train duties, returned 10 the car
| picked up the remaining package and
took it to the place agreed upon, tellins
the proprietor to collect $1.25,
/ In the course OF time the genial San
called for the turkey, paid the merchan
S1,25 and went on his way rejoicing.
The reporter Is a good guesser, bu
he will not attempt to guess just wha
| happened or what was said in thu
wineman household when Sam arrives
home and opened up the package, dis
closing a big white owl Neither will
he attempt to guess what kind Of stuf
fing the taxidermist used In mounting
the bird contained in the other pack
age.

ever, Mr.. Wineman and his fammilv

SENATE NOT A
CLOSED SHOP

OLYMPIA, Jan. 2S.-While the
cause of labor has nothing to COM
plain of in the makeup Of the
lower house, glance at the upper
body is enough to ause shivers to
run up and down the backs of the
entire State Federation of Labor.
60 Within any reasonable bounds
the house Is pro-labor by wide
majority, and the labor outlook in
that body Is bright to an incandes-
cent degree, but up aloft in the
senatorial roosts Is darkness.
The stand of the house was
clearly indicated when the wom-
ems eight hour law was acted
upon. Palmer of King county led
the fight against 1t and was snow
ed under each time. Palmer under
the thin excuse of helping the bill
essayed to amend 1t to death, but
his work lacked anything like
finesse. 1t was as obvious. as II he
had announced his innermost in
tentions from the start.
! Crossing the corridor OF the
state capitol to take look at
the senate committee on labor,
there Is Falconer of Snohomish.
Falconer Is a lumber broker, and
as such should properly be on the
other side of the labor fence, but
he is man Of convictions of right
and wrong and won't allow his
business associations or instincts
to get away with idea of what is
, right to the laboring man. Hux-
table, the chairman, is an old rail
road man. who incidentally hopes
to be labor commissioners. and in
addition to his natural inclination
toward labor measures has an ay
to grind. Senator Cotterill has al
ways been consistent advocate
OF union labor measures.
Ruth, Roberts. Arrasmith and
Stevenson are by temperament
and association In a more or less
degree against labor. I'm the sense
that they cannot accept the prem
Uses upon which labor men argue.
The best labor can expect from
this committee under any circum-
stances is cold judicial even
break. and II there Is anything
better than an even break given
out II will be for the employers.

JACK 0BR|En
IS bAn|SHED

II you are ,itious to pull on
a war and X IS be happy till you
do it, 5ast publicly couple the
names of A. w. Merritt and City
Commissioner O'Brien. A reporter
did that thing yesterday and has
since put in his time under cover,
trying to negotiate ticket to Cal
cutta. He hyphenated the names.
and Merritt refuses to entertain
any sort Of compromise short of
red, red gore. Now. O'Brien is
feeling rather cockey over it.
So far as Merritt's aims and
tntents are concerned, the scion of
the O'Brien family is defunct, de-
graded and demorallzed. His down
fall dates from the crematory up
heaval which separated Merritt
from civic emolument and left
O'Brien and the garbage bunch
cropping among uncertain odors

tain what was the matter, least of
all the council investigators.
AS matter of fact, the charge
that O'Brien one dark night stole
three pounds of rubber and four
empty bottles from the garbage
beds about the crematory could
not be substituted, and it was de-
cided that prosecutions for usury
could not be maintained against
Merritt on the accusation of peel
ing hides adm tallow from the four
legged and lowly dead.
But out of the loveliness of it all
came the war of Merritt and
O'Brien. wherein the latter is rele-
gated to political limbo until he
repents and confesses. To date he

Special Correspondence to The Press
CHICAGO, Jan. est seems to
have been in his usual "Pickwick-
ian sense" that Vice President
Charles w. Fairbanks has denied
being interested in the Honduras
National Railroad Co, with Offices
in the Marquette building in this
city. If the vice president is in
ested in his relatives by blood and
marriage he Is interested in their
venture. Theirs are the names
used.
A copy of the prospectus of this
concern-and they are not easy to
get-gives it a distinctly Fairbanks
flavor. For instance. the president
of the company is l.. M. Fairbanks
of Mansfield, Illinois, brother of
Vice President Fairbanks. The
first vice president is NJ. l.. Mill
gan of Springfield, Ohio, brother in
law of Vice President Fairbanks.
General counsel Is William w.
Bride Of Washington, ID. c.. nephew
by marriage of Vice President Fair
banks. On the board of directors
Is William ID. Fairbanks of Deca-
tur, H.. another brother brother of
Vice President Fairbanks. The
other relatives mentioned are like
wise members of the board of d.
rectors.
The vice presidents habit, SO
we'll known, of owning relatively
little property himself-at least In
his own name--is what led to the
suspicion that he was the man
really responsible. and that his va
rious relatives were the dummies.
The vice president Ia known to be
a man of wealth. while his various
relatives are known to be in COM
parativcly humble financial circum-
stances. Their names have fire.
quently appeared, however. as the
nominal holders Of stocks and Sc
curities which afterward were
found to be held In trust for Vice
President Fairbanks.
According to the prospectus, the
Honduras National Railroad Co.
looks not unlike a political per-
simmon. its terms are so attract
i've that It was natural to assume
that somebody with a long pole
knocked II down. Leading the
board of directors Is the name of
Senior DR., Miguel r. Bustillo sec
rotary of treasury of Honduras.
Among the things which the grant
Is said to assure to those who go
into the venture are free right of
way through all public lands, towns
and cities. the company to pay for
only actual improvements owned
by individuals: the right to choose
it's own line Of survey and not be
confined to any particular route; a
bonus of approximately a million

Missionaries and teachers COM
