W. Post, Faker." should be
read carefully, for II goes into
detail. The daily papers, as .
rule, have a longing eye on the
Advertising pages. Mr.. Post is A.
good advertiser. Hence the libel
case that has Just ended in the
State of New York failed to re,
ceive that publicity that should
have been it's portion.
MIR. Post is undoubtedly gem
tleman with some good qualities.
It is said that no man is with
out these points. Just what the
qualities are that make Mr.. Post
fayorably known among his as
sociates cannot be told at this
distance from his abiding place.
All we can Judge a man by, I'M
der the circumstances, are his
actions and published state
nents. We are more concerned
in the latter.
For years c. w. Post has vic
iously attacked the trade-nnion
movement. Nothing was toe
vile for him to say of those who
are banded together in. labor or
ganizations. He could see no
good in the system, and the
men and women who are proud
Of their allegiance were publish
ed before the world as all that
could be counted unworthy.
Many and many a libel suit
could have been brought against
the Battle Creek millionaire, for
his utterances often exceeded all
that is supposed to come within
the bounds of propriety. AS. they
are both patient and law abiding
trade unionists treated the Post
effusions with that scOrn which
was rightly their portion. belieY-
ing that "all things come to him
who waits"
After waiting, Golfers" the
militant and able weekly Of
New York City, has shown G. W.
Post that even his grip on mil
lions and the business favor OF
leading daily publications avail
him nothing when the truth
penetrates.-
Read the story. Note how
Post squirms. Realize more than
you ever knew before just what
Grape-Nuts and his other con-
coctions are really composed OF,
and to what extent a man will
go to sell goods and make
money.
There isn't a paper-labor or
otherwise-that should neglect
the opportunity to print the
article from Golfers" The
American public is entitled to
know just what manner of man
this Post is. Golfers" shows
that he has long had two sides
one that he never published
about himself (Which now has
been done to perfection), and
the other the one that Post gave
US through the medium of paid
advertisements assaulting sew
eral millions of citizens, all OF
whom are incomparably better
than Mr.. Post ever could be. G.
w. has met more than his match.
If he is a wise man, he will re-
tire into that oblivion from
which he never should have.

Once upon a time famous epigram-
matist threw bouquet ..he who
makes two blades Of grass grow where
but one grew before"
But it has remained for the Wheel
ing Traction Company to make two
nickels gorw where but one grew be-

On Sunday morning, when the
water in the Ohio reached stage
that covered some low places in the
wheeling Traction Company's track
on. the Bellaire' line, Bellaire patrons
were informed by glazing placards in
the cars that the company would only
haul. them to the water line for the
fare. This meant that when a pas
senger rode as far as the car went,
then got off and walked around she

paid afother nickel. The company

dime.

DREDCES COMING
 THIS SUMMER
TWO ARE TO BE SHIPPED AT ONCE BY COMPANY ORGAN.
 HE'D BY LEMONS.

At least two dredges will be start ed on their way into the camp this summer and 1t is possible that this number may be increased before the close of navigation. They will be used on Twin, Pedro and Fairbanks creeks on the property tied up by options by G. G. Lemons and w. w. Powell, the English company organ iZed by the former having signitied it's willingness to go through with the deal. One of the options, that on above Pedro, has already been taken up and R. M. Courtnay has received the purchase price. All of the money necessary for the taking up of the other options has arrived and is now in the First National bank. These options will be taken up as soon as the abstracts can be completed
 MT. Lemons, Dr. Robson and Will liam Turton, the two latter stock holders in the English company, are now on their way to California, where they plan to make arrange ments with the Union Iron Works for the building of a big modern dredge for use on Fairbanks creek. A small dredge will be purchased fer use on Twin creek, and it Is possible that it may be in actual operation this summer. The dredge for Fairbanks creek will probably be shipped to the scene of opera tions over the first snows of next winter.
 Besides practically all of Pedro creek the company has options on Fairbanks creek from 5 above to 12 above inclusive, except the upper half of z; on Nos. l, 2, 8, and 1 Moose creek, tributary of Fair banks creek and on Twin creek from No. 1 to No. 3. These options expire in the early fall but it is probable that most of them will be taken up much earlier as all of the money is here and the company can thereby get a discount.
 The authority for the statement | in regard to the plans of the con- pany Is Attorney John Dillon, who has charge of It's affairs. He states emphaticaly that there is nothing now to hinder the deal from going through as the company is compos- ed of some of the richest men ill England, and the funds at it's com mand are ample to swing very much | larger operations. He also states that the company Is anxious not alone to get hold of dredge proposi tions but will be ready to take hold | of quartz mines just as soon as they have been fully demonstrated.
 Dupree Lance, the engineer of the company, who arrived about three weeks ago, has finished his report to the company, after thoroughly , testing the ground, and the report is thoroughly satisfactory. He will remain here to complete the ar engagements for receiving the dredg- es when they arrive.

WAS THE FIRST FEAST DAY
Friday Unusual in Catholic Church
General Dispensation Was
Granted.

For the first time in the history OF
the Catholic church in the United
States, Catholics were yesterday per-
mittsd to eat meat on a Friday without
special d~ispensation. as in the a 8 OF
Christmas day. Yesterday was the
feast of the Immaculate Conception
and also the p%atronal feast of the
Catholic church In the United States.
In a decree issued July .. the pope
relaxed the discipline of the Catholic
church In regard to n number Of holy
days of obligation to be observed, as
Sundays by refraining from work, and
also dispensed Catholics throughout
the world from abstaining from meat
on any Of the holidays of obligation
which fall on a Friday.
Yesterday the first instance occurred
to which the general dispensation ap-
piled. The six holydays of obligation
recognized in the United States are
Christmas. New Years day. Ascension
day. Assumption day, All Saints day
and the feast Of the Immaculate Con-
ception, December 8.
