err, for the purpose Of discussing the
feasibility of reorganization under a
new charter" into One company under
the laws of British Columbia, and

the reorganization which comes under
the head of the Bull River Electric
Power. Co., Limited, with George E.
Henderson as president; Charles Heck
master, treasurer, and d. S. Guinter,
secretary.
Heretofore there were three organi-
cations and three sets of books to
be kept which gives place to a single
organization and ope set Of officers.
The old system was complicated and
cumbersome, while the new company
is prepared to do business rapidly and
carry on the great work before it.
5000, COO has already been spent on the
work at Bull River, and as much
nor will be expended before the
10000 horse waterpower is In opera

Death of Mrs. Johnson.

w. j. Byrnes received a telegram
from Chicago last Friday announcing
the death of Mrs. Richard Johnson
who was a resident of Canton in 1876.
Her husband, who was a prominent
Odd Fellcw, died in Canton, Septem-
Der 4, 1887. Mrs. Johnson left Canton
years ago when her son began his
college life, and when he graduated
in law and located in Chicago she
made a home for him there. She was
a sister of Gid Thompson, a prom
inent pioneer of this county, and has
other relatives living here now.
The casket arrived from Chicago
Sunday and the body was laid beside
her husband in Forest Hill cemetery.
Mr.. and Mrs. S. A. Todd returned
from Gering, Nebraska, last Saturday
after a very enjoyable visit with
relatives. Mrs. Todd says the North
Platte river hasn't been SC low in
many years and Mr.. Todd found it
less than knee deep when he waded
across just to show those Nebraska
boomers that a South Dakota boomer
was not afraid of water in any shape.

he and d S. Guinter and other Canton

work that has finally produced a
water power worth half a million a
year when in full operation, and from
the first report the LEADER has given
the promoters it's best efforts and has
had the faith that has been justified.

indianapolis. Jan. 30.-The old fight
against President Thomas Lewis was
revived in the national convention
Of the United Mine Workers Of Amer
lea Il came up over the pres
snce Of sixty paid organizers In
the convention as delegates. The enc
mics Of Lewis contended that these
men. being in the regular pay Of the
OF ganization. ought not TO receive pay
N delegates to the convention. but
Lewis and his friends defended them
with their votes and carried the day.
President Lewis Report.
The national officers submitted their
reports. that OF President Lewis being
among them. He showed that the total
membership Of the organization IL now
e65.274. He spoke OF the non.union
miners in Maryland. West Virginia.
Kentucky and Alabama. and said they
numbered 10000. He said that more
than 100000 had been spent since
1900 to organize these states. but the
efforts had been unsuccessful. Regard
Ing the anthracite miners he said:
There are employed In the anthracite
coal regions OF Pennsylvania $4,000
mine workers. OF this number of men
and boys there are about 10000 organ
ICED. In fact. the number upon which
per capita tax was paid in November.
1908. was 23.031 members. Why does
this condition exist? An investigation
and study OF the anthracite situation
convinces me that the inactivity and
the failure Of the mine workers to be
better organized Ia due principally to
their own Indifference. The same con-
dition applies to many OF the btu
minous mining districts"
He then recounts the efforts made
last year to meet the operators in
Pennsylvania. and says: when the
usual conditions In the anthracite re-
gion and the entire country at that
time are carefully considered. the rep
resentatives Of the United Mine Work
ers were fortunate in being able TO
convince the anthracite operators to
grant concessions in order to negotiate
and sign contract. / know that II was
