Grading Contract Let.

The best news the citizens of
Salmon have heard for many
days, was when 4 telegram was
received Tuesday morning by
Judge Padgham from Mr.. Nc
Cucheon, president of the Arm
stead & Gilmore Railway. an
nouncing the news that the con-
tracts had been let for the con-
struction Of the road.
The telegram stated that the
entire contract from Armstead
to Salmon had been let to one
construction company. 1t is said
the surveyors are making some
necessary changes in the origin
al survey and are now setting
the grade stakes for the entire
length of the line.
This news sets at rest the ru-
mors that the projected line was
merely a promotion scheme, and
would not be built unless the
survey was sold to some trunk
line. The fact that the contract
is let is evidence that there is
not only trunk line back of the
project, but actual construction
work will commence as soon as
the material can be laid on the
ground.
The contract was let to- Nc
Arthur Bros. & Co., the larges
railroad contracting and con
struction company in the Unitet
States. In speaking of this firm
the Railway News so gives then
credit. This is the firm of con
tractors which has been doing
most of the work for the jim

UQo ldnO, eau Wncrc you Cdu,
sleep where you can; but that is
not the worst that has recently
come upon "the submerged
tenth" They have been. aban
doned to their fate, condemned !
by society to an endless hell,
with the horde of women, our
sisters, who may fall victims to
capitalist morality"
They tell US prosperity is re-
turning. Much is said about the
trusts branching out, and about
a ceatain per cent of working
men finding work again. But in
it all no ray Of hope is even held
out for this vast army who have
been completely submerged by
the cruel wave of greed. Even
should prosperity, so-called,
come in unparalleled prodigeous-
ness, it would bring no relief to
them.
Grant that they have ceased
to be worthy" Grant that they
are tempters and buns who will
not work when given Opportun-
ity, still the fact remains that
they are the products of the sys-
TEN, degenerated by its immor-
ality. They are the under dogs,
because others are trampling on
them. They cannot get out Of
it, unless they trample on 9th
ers. Sometimes they do, in pet
ty thefts and little crimes, but
that is only the weight of a fy's
foot compared to the elephants
heel of the rich. They are ar
rested and sent to prison for
their pecadillOes, and no one
pleads their cause. They are
sent to the rock pile. They are
warned from every town they
visit. If women they are graft
ed on by officials and run out by
the uncou guide. Not only are
they connemned to endless hell,
but they are told that they are
not wanted there. So ten thOus-
and of the submerged women
commit suicide every year, and
twenty thousand of the submerg
ed men are either killed by the
cars annually, or else freeze Oh
starve to death-yet nobody
cares. And the supply, under
this civilization" constantly re-
news and increases the supply.
We speak in horror of th'
pariahs of other lands that have
been in history for thousands O.
wears. but we are making par
iahs in one century of our his
tory more numerous than the
sleepy East manufactured then
through the ages. We weel
over the child wives of India
but we, with our white slave
and child slaves, have out don

GRANGE CONVENTION ENDED.
Resolutions Favoring Referendum Of
Liquor Question Passed.

Burlington, Dec. 16-The closing
session of the Vermont State Grange
was held this morning. The attend
ance at the annual meeting, three
hundred accredited delegates, was the
largest in the history of the order.
Resolutions were passed favoring a
referendum on the liquor question,
for good roads movement, for equal
taxation, for a parcels post, for at
least one agricultural high school, the
election of United States Senator's by
direct vote of the people and indus
trial education in schools.
There were two members of the
executive committee elected yester-
day afternoon, d. II. Morse, of Ran
dolph and H. M. Farnham of East

ZELAYA HAS RESIGNED
Imperious President Of Central Am.
erican Republic Steps Down and
Out as Result Of Various Circum-
stances-Will Accept Resignation.

Manugua, Nicaragua, Dec 10
President Zelaya has resigned. His
action was probably inspired by the
knowledge that his power was rapidly
waning and that many of his former
adherents were only awaiting ia
vorable opportunity to turn and rend
him. The recent defeat of the gov
eminent troops by the revolutionists
gave backbone to the waverers and
practically the whole population of
the Capitol with their dread of Zela-
ya's vengeance removed, assumed a
defiant attitude to their Wilson ruler
The presence of the American war
ships, the news of the coming of OF
hers and the publication of Secretary
Knox's letter breaking off diplomatic
relations with Nicaragua, also had a
most important effect in denuding Ze-
laya of his supporters.
The widest sort of rumors were
in circulation, none of which could
be verified, but all suspense was end
ed when the news spread lige Wild
fire that the dictator had finally de-
cded that he must get out and that he
had sent his formal resignation to the
National Assembly. Action was i'm
mediately taken in the matter, the as
sembly appointing committee to
prepare a bill providing for the ac-
ceptance of the resignation, while
Zelaya is still in the place, guarded
by several of his still loyal troopers.
The matter of the choice of Zelaya's
successor lies with Congress, but al
though half a dozen names are men-
toned, there is absolutely nothing
on which to forecast the outcome of
the present crisis. IT looks at pres
ent as though General Strada may
have sufficient backing to assure his
election.
