Before the years outing season

distant when a million persons
will annually visit them.
The records show that the sea-
sonal use of the Forests runs
from two months in a Colorado
Forest, such as the Routt, to
twelve months in an Alaskan,
suck as the Tongass. But the
uses differ. In Colorado the
1000 visitors entered the Forest
to fish, to camp, to climb, and to
drink the medicinal waters; in
Alaska the 1000 almost solely
to hunt and fish. The q 900
persons who went into the Coco
nino Forest, Arizona, during
nine months, went to camp or to
enjoy the scenery. During four
months $4,000 persons visited
the Angeles, California. The
most popular of the Forests is
the Pike, containing the famous
peak of that name. The various
attractions within its limits, in
Guiding the scenic railway, drew
100000 tourists and others. BY

The committee on membership
also submitted the following re-
commentator with reference to
the payment OF dues:
After a careful study of the
situation, the members of the
committee on membership desire
to make recommendation with
reference to the status of men,
bers who are in arrears on the
payement Of dues. One of the
bylaws provides that members
who are in arrears beyond "a given
period, shall be dropped from
the roll. Our recommendation is
that this bylaw be enforced.
1t is not our desire to recon-
mend a measure which will be
drastic in effect, or work a hard
ship OH any of the members who
are now in arrears. We are ad-
vocating nothing more than fair
ness and equality in the payment
of dues. There are members
who have paid their lues con-
tinuously, through all the dull,
inactive period when outsiders
were saying that the organiza-
tion was dead. 1t would be
manifestly unjust and unfair to
remit the back dues in favor of
Others who were not so faithful
and loyal in their support of the
club.
We further recommend that
the directors have prepared a
statement showing the standing

BLIND GODDESS AGAIN
CAST|GATES T0|LERS

BOSTON, Oct 2s.-Union labor
met another defeat here this week
when Judge Richardson, in the su-
perior court, decreed that municipal
corporations must not favor organized
bodies of union men.
The case in question was one in
which the city of Boston let a con-
tract to the Dolan Electrical COM
pany to furnish electrical appliances
for Curtis hall, in Jamaica Plain.
The Dolan company's bid was $4,417,
or 81 higher than that of the James
Wilkinson company, which brought
a suit, through II taxpayers, to have
the city restrained from giving th4
contract to Dolan. Wilkinson alleged
that he was refused the contract on
the ground that he was unfair to
union labor.
In allowing the injunction Judge
Richardson spoke at some length
upon the question of unions and said

CHICAGO, Oct. 28.-The firm Of

men and girls. indiscriminately, with
the sanction and approval of the
police.
The first wanton attack was made
when a committee Of strikers, many
of whom were girls, passed by the
corner of Halstead and Nineteenth
streets. The girls in the lead were
blowing whistles to notify their mates
in the shops that the strike was on.
Out of doorway rushed band. of
thugs and commenced clubbing the
strikers right and left. The street
soon filled with amazed and Mortified
people who did what they could to
protect the girls and help drag the
wounded away from the bludgeons of
the strikebreakers. The aroused pop
ulace would have soon turned the
tables on the clubwielders If wagon
loads of police had not promptly
come to the aid of the thugs.
A fatal mistake was the creating
of this riot. by the, firm, of Hart,
