of Suspect

Francis Cramer, husband of a woman
injured in the Elk street lodging house
fire yesterday morning, in which two

officers.
The police refuse to divulge the sus-
poets name, but admit sensational
revelations are expected.

SPOKANE, Wash, Nov 2.-Eighty
orators of the Industrial Workers of
the World were marched to jail this
afternoon for having delivered speeches
on the streets.
The Industrial Workers claim to have
5000 or 1000 men here or on the way
from other cities to take the places OF
their orators as fast as they are ar
rested.
The city authorities have provided
big rock pile and procured extra ham,
mers. The orators are to be marched
to the rock pile, but declare they VIII
refuse to work. In this event they VIII
be put on bread and water until they
are willing to swing the hammers. II
they work the city plans to use the
crushed rock for the huge new con-
crete bridge being built on Monroe
street.
Police Judge Mann today declared as
class legislation and unconstitutional
the law which permits religious bodies
to hold street meetings. This upsets
the Salvation army's plans for a big
street meeting, led by Commander eva
Booth, tonight.

The fire department also is prepared
to assist in quelling any riot. But thus
far the l. w. w. men have made no
resistance. On the contrary, their
leaders announce they will have no

Warrants were issued this afternoon
for James Wilson, editor of the Indus
trial Workers paper, charging con-
spiracy to provoke violation of the
law. Three other leaders of the lodge
were arrested on the same charge.
Two women members of the order
were jailed for disorderly conduct, hav-

had been made.

POSSIBILITIES OF SURPLUS
WEALTH

Surplus wealth is a lever which
may be used to obstruct or to pro-
mote material prosperity. 1t may
reduce labor to the verge of star
walton, to anarchy and revolt; or
it may elevate labor to condition
of cooperative industrial brother
hood. If the passive factor of
production. the planet and it's
riches-consisting of farms, ore
bodies, city lots, and all other
forms Of natural resources-be sub
ject to private monopoly, then sur
plus wealth will flow toward such
opportunities for investment. 1t
will do SO for the greater safety,
the more certain profits, and the
less need of attention. But such
Investments depend for returns on
tribute wrung from labor, and pro-
gressively they make for lower and
lower wages in proportion to prod
ucts. If, on the other hand, the
community were to absorb monop-
oily values into the common wealth
surplus wealth could only be in.
vested in promoting the activities
of the active factor of production
labor. This kind of investment
would progressively make for
higher and higher wages in pro-
portion to product, and thus for
more and more surplus wealth.
Increasing pressure of this kind
would tend first to- elevate wages
to the highest economic point, the
full earnings of the wage receiver,
and then resolve every industry
into form Of cooperation in
which the employees would be the
stockholders and thereby their
own employers.-The Public.

OF THE TREASURY

Ready Kenehan, the blacksmith
state auditor does not intend that
any of the state funds shall pass
through his hands without value
received. Even the supreme court
judges are required to make oath
before receiving warrants for their
monthly salaries that they have
rendered service for the same.
The judges seem to feel that it is
beneath their dignity to make oath
to their bills before receiving their
pay. We hope the auditor will
insist that judges shall earn their
salaries. AS a rule but few of
these judges put in full eight
hours a day and in the summer
take a couple or three months
outing while the court docket is
three years behind tipe and liti-
giants are wondering why their
cases are never passed upon. The
rule of mo work on pay" should

SNOWFALL BULLETIN

January, ordinarily month of
preponderence of fair weather and
bright sunshine, was characterized
by unusually stormy conditions
and snowfall much above the
average in the mountain region.
In number of localities snow fell
on ID days or more, and being at
tended or followed by high winds,
much of the fall above timber line
or in other wind-swept places has
been carried into sheltered spots,
filling the ravines or gulches, or
piled up in large drifts. The early
falls of snow are hard packed, but
the later falls, except where ex-
posed to the wind. are still CON-
paratively loosely packed. The
amount of snow that has fallen
thus far alone insures good and
late flow in all the streams rising
on the slopes of the Continental
Divide or its spurs.-From U. s..

OLD HUNTER ADVISES
HIGHER BOUNTY

Joe Werner, the old bear hunter and
guide, was in town Saturday from his
ranch at the head of Whitefish lake, hay
ing drove in over the ice. Mr.. Werner
states that his partner, Ammel Dester-
man, is still trapping in the vicinity of
upper Whtefsh lake, and this makes it
necessary for him to remain at the
ranch, so that he has not done any hunt
ing for mountain lions or lynx this win
ter.
The old hunter gives it as his opinion
that if the legislature desires to take any
action for the protection of game, most
effectual move would be to increase the
bounty on mountain lions, as these ami
mails destroy more game than the hun
ters.
AS an illustration, Joe tells of two hons
he killed last winter. In the vicinity OF
the place where they lived he found the
carcasses of eight deer, all of which had
been killed within few weeks, and the
animals keep up their murderous work
throughout the year. The beasts are not
plentiful enough to pay for hunting them
exclusively, and yet there are enough Of
them to get away with vast amount o.
game. With higher bounty, however
the lion hunters and trappers would gel
busy and would soon rid the country O
most of the lions
