WOMEN AS VOrERs.-Don't be too
precipitate, rooster-On-t he-top.rail |
Nobody rejoices mors in the enfran-
chisement of women than those who
have fought the best years ola life-
time in promoting the same, but
they feel a mental contempt for an
executive who makes it the occasion
for proclamation, or newspapers
who persist that women can now
vote, despite the laws that have to
be complied with by male voters as a
pre-condition for casting the ballot,
such as registration, residence in
prescribed districts, legal age. ETC.
The usual way of making constitu-
tional amendments effective is by re-
garding them as enabling acts for
legislative enactment. The women
will lose nothing by deliberate &C.
ton, and precipi tation NAV destroy
that harmony that may make the
change harmonious and effective.

AT a tempest on the Caspian sea,
a landing stage on which 300 dock
workers were employed, was swept
from its mornings and carried to Sea.
All attempts at rescue were futile and
all hope of saving any of the unfor-
tunate workmen has been abandoned.
The Caspian is o great inland sea, or
salt lake, the largest in the world,
on the boundary between Europe
and Asia. Its length is about 700
miles north and south and its aver
age width about 200 miles, and its
total area is estimated at 16O, 1886
square miles. Scores of ships, sew
eral with crews on board were sunk
at Caspian coast towns, some OF
which were flooded. hundreds of resi-
dents taking refuge in haystacks
and other floating objects. Their
condition was fearful from the in
tense cold, which added to the gen.
eral misery. A number of steamers
were engaged in rescue. soon as the
storm had in some degree subsidized.

Charpitting Stumps.

The papers of this State and Ore
gon have of late had much to say
about new discovery" of charpit-
ting stumps, as it is called. in clear
ing land.
If We understand the method
adopted, it is no neU discovery at
all, but the adoption OF method of
clearing land of logs, in vogue over
half a century ago, which consisted
of simply boring hole of consider
able diameter tranSversely into the
log, and one of Il smaller bore for a
chimney" perpendicularly from the
top side of the log, 10 meet it in the
center. In this live Goals are intro
ducod, until the resinous wood is
afire, when no further attention is
required, the burning continues out
ward on all sides until the log is
fingered off within few inches
of the place where the fire is ignited.
This is probably the process en-
ployed for char-pitting stumps, for
there seems to be no reason why
stumps and roots may not be ex-
tracted by modification of the same
process. The position of the log
probably accounts for the fact that
the cut by the fire extends outwards
to the surface, and placing the fire at
the tap-root with chimney" ex-
tending upward with outlet at the
top OF the stump would doubtless
char-pit the whole stump, provided
the wood was of the usually pitchy
nature of the majority of fir stumps.
1t has cost this State $1,000 for
stump-clearing demonstration, and
the same amount of contingent ap-
preparation from the General Govern
nent, and Oregon is making an effort
to secure like appropriations for de-
velopment of a principle already
understood.

Too MANY Combines.

That everything is going into
combine" is confirmed by the head
way made in the Chicago Manu-
facturers zone," comprising all the
cities and towns within a radius of
30 miles from the center of Chicago.
The proposed commercial alliance
between that city and the smaller
cities is being ratified on all sides. A
number Of out-Of-town business or
carnations have taken member
ships in the Chicago Association Of
Commerce and many more are eX-
pected to follow suit. Our idea, y
explains W. r. Humphrey, Indus
trial Commissioner of the associa-
ton, is that the interests OF the
communities within the zone are
mutual. 1t is not the particular ad-
vantage that one place may have
over another as a prospective site
for q manufacturing plant, but the
advantages that any of them may
have over practically any other part
of the country, that is Of Importance.
This will of course lead to cOncen-
tration of effort of other large inter-
ests. and lead practically to the
same result as a union of personal
interests, the establishment of val
ues by concerted action and elimina-
ton of that generous rivalry that
once was considered the life of trade
and certainly tended to fix and es-
tablish the value of an article on a
true cost and value. So far, con-
centration of business interests has
led to augmentation of prices to the
consumers. o class wholly unable to
protect itself, except by occasional
exceptional result from labor unions,
but it is questionable whether in the
aggregate they have been of any
real service when the costs of organ
ization as well from adoption of radi-
cal methods are considered.

UNION CoMBINATIoNs.-The mem
bers at the late session of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor reelected
the former officials. with Samuel
GOmpers as president. Victor L.
Berger, the newly elected Socialist
Congressman from Wisconsin, made
no fight in the matter of election of
these officials. He said he did not
want to control the organization;
wouldn't do so if he could. even if
its control be rendered on a platter.
He believes the days of craft union
ism are passing. wants industrial
unionism, organized somewhat on
the basis of the Confederation OF La
Dor, in France. He will have a
strenuous time on his hands when he
shall confront that militant body
known as the Industrial Workers OF
the World, in the United States.
The laborers of the Pacific Coast
States are pretty strongly impreg-
mated with the new propaganda
Miss Gurley-Flynn Jones, the would
be Spokane heroine. has carried the
message to numerous single weav-
ers and mill laborers. When the
employers find these industrials they
are disposed to weed them out. how
ever they do not object to the regu-
lar trade union labOrers.

Arkansas river, northwest Of Tulsa
and between the rich Usage and
Cleveland oil fields, valued approx
mately at $685. 900. 1t contains 87s
acres, is about a mile long and 200
yards or more in width. The island
has never been surveyed and this
fact has preserved it from specula-
tors. There is but little doubt but
that the island is rich in oil, as the
oilfields come up on either side of the
mainland to the very banks.

FIRST RAILROAD FOR SULLY

Hurou-Omcers of the Dakota divi-
son Of he Chicago & North-W Western

IGettysburg in Potter county and Blunt,
liz the northern part Of Hughes coun-
Ity. Will be in operation about the first
week in August. The work of com
p.eting the line is being rapidly push
ef and when completed will be about
eighty miles in length. and the first
railway line to cross Sully county. 1t
will open a vast section of splendid
farming and stock country. inhabited
by a thrifty and progressive class of
citizens. The extension is known as
the Hitchcock and Onida branch, has
not received special attention this sea-
son, but it is said will be taken into
account Immediately following the
opening of the Gettysburg and Blunt
lines. A schedule of train service has
not vet been determined upon, but it
is probable that trains now running
only to Gettysburg will be sent through

WANT HELP.

WatertOwn-Urgent calls are being
sent u from towns along the Mime
apOlis & st. Louis road in the James
river valley for harvest hands. Condo
slone has appealed to division head
quarters of the road in this city to
secure the importation of 200 men at
once.
Harvest is on n full blast in that
section of the state. Owing to reports
OF drought earlier in the season. the
usual influx of harvest hands shows
a decided falling off in numbers. Re-
cent hot weather is ~ripening the grain
a trife sooner than expected and the
farmers are away short of help.
Experts o believe that the yield
OF wheat viii be larger than antici-
pated even a week ago. w. II. Stokes
president of the Stokes Milling com
pany of this city, after an extended
trip over the northwestern part of the
state made especially to examine the
wheat, said that fields as a rule. owing
to the late and copious rains, have
grown two extra lows OF kernels in
the head. Furth, he said, the ber-
ry is going to be plump and the bush
els per acre will be accordingly of
greater number.
