To Attract Tourist Travel

Tacoma has taken the initiative in
organizing an association of the North
west commercial bodies to attract tour
ist travel this way Upon invitation OF
Secretary Summers of the Tacoma
Chamber Of Commerce, representatives
of the various sections of the Northwest
met at Tacoma yesterday and laid
plans to further the plans of the
association.
THE Pacific Northwest is region
rich in wonderful scenery and we believe
that a large portion oil the tide of tour
ist travel now turning from the East to
Europe every year may be attracted to
these parts, said Mr.. Sommers. We
have the attractions but have not ad-
vertised them as effectively as we
should We expect our organization to
set to work on an extensive publicity
campaign. We expect to accomplish
more by cooperating than would be
possible otherwise. Especially effec-
tive will the new association be in Sc
curing conventions.

as irregular as the tin can poker game.
A man, describing this game said:

aces and king"
And you, what did you hold?"

PROFIT SHARING
How 1t Is Rapidly Progressing Throughout
the Country


the Country
Recently the Westinghouse corpora
ton announced that it was preparing a
plan of profit-sharing for employees.
Not long ago the First National bank
of New York gave out information Of its
intention of putting into use an old-age
pension.
Both systems have the same general
purpose, that Of giving workmen at
some peroid of their lives part of the
profits on the business which they
have helped to make. The theory of
economists used to be that profit-shar
ing had been proved unsuccessful by
numerous attempts. Nevertheless ex-
periments in it of one kind or another
are continually being tried, and with
new methods in use, it has every
chance Of growing. Today it doubtless
has more benefciaries than ever before.
Probably the largest arrangement Of
the kind in the world is conducted by
the United States Steel Corporation,
which regulates wages by the price OBJ
tanned for its product. This system
goes long way toward redeeming it
from the odium in which labor unions
have held it for resisting their advances.
The Philadelphia Rapid Transit Com
pany put into effect meager pension
plan, partly as an attempt to appease
public sentiment before the last great
car strike there. In New Jersey there
is newspaper which pays dividends on
salaries, if the company prospers.
Many railroads now have pension plans,
notably the Pennsylvania. Last winter
the Hooking Valley undertook for the
first time the retirement of men in this
way.
All of these plans, various though
their details be, work out best for the
individual employee. Length of service
almost invariably is made a condition
Of sharing. The plans have a strong
tendency to keep workmen from chang
ing positions. Emphasis on the rewards
of steadiness in employment has no
where been more forcible than in the
Pennsylvania railroad, where the rule of
hiring no outsiders is seldom broken,
and where all present officials have been
in the company's employ from twenty
to thirty-five years.
The old employee is the valuable one.
Economy Of time and energy are OBJ
tanned by few changes. Men familiar
with the work can increase the output.
With an interest in the business, they
will take notice of thousand minute
points of advantage to the employer
which they would not otherwise regard.
Moreover, with industry developing
after ways made feasible by the great
aggregations Of capital, with trades
multiplying and manufactures subdivid-
ed, and with immense corporations
managed by few men, what were
more than just than an arrangement
whereby every employe may become a
part owner.-Columbus CO., News.

From Fridays Daily.
Chicago and Northwestern rail-
way officials were wrought up last
night over what may have been a
crude endeavor to hold up a train
on that road near Judson and the
through passenger trains were sup
piled with heavy guard between
this city and New Ulm. The local
county and city peace officers and
newspaper men, representatives of
the dailies in this city, figured in
the events of the night and rallied
to the protection of railway traffic
and of the passengers, most of whom
were unconscious of any impending
danger.
The scare had it's origin in mys-
FERROUS incident that happened while
freight train No. SIS, eastbound, was
pounding along toward Mankato
| from New Ulm at ten o'clock last
evening. This train was in charge
of Conductor Charles Riegel and En-
gineer George Webb, and when it
reached a point three miles west of
Judson the engineer noticed two
men standing on the track waving
their arms wildly. Thinking that
these men were warning him of
some danger, possibly a culvert
burned out, or something else, Mr..
Riegel slowed down the train with
the intention of stopping, but as he
did so the men ran back to a strip
of timber that lined the south side
of the right of way, and there Mr..
Riegel saw two other men, whom

From Thursdays Daily.
The school board filled all vacan-
cies in the teaching force, provided
for the taking of the school census,
awarded contracts for the improved
ventilating closet system in the Union
building, granted the annual requisi-
tons for supplies and awarded some
contracts, and transacted a lot of 9TH
err business Of Importance at its regu-
lar monthly meeting last night. All
of the members except Mr.. Bishman
were present.
R. S. Pritchard, C. McAllister and
J. w. Clark, having informed the
board that it would be impossible for
them to serve as judges at the school
election next week, C. M. Fiero, A. ID.
Stone and Peter Lloyd were chosen
to fill their places, respectively.
A communication was received from
Lawrence Henline, commissioner OF
waterworks and sewers, stating that
the water meter in the Franklin
school is very inconveniently located
and requires too much time and both
er in getting the readings and max
ing repairs, and giving notice that
the water would be shut off unless
the rules of the department were
complied with within sixty days. The
matter was referred to the committee
on property and expense with power
to act.
A communication was received
from State superintendent c. G,
Schultz, calling attention to the new
law requiring that a census of school
children between the ages OF six and
sixteen be taken, and giving some
suggestions about how to take it. and
enclosing sample blanks.
One suggestion was that the census
give list of children who will be-
come six years old during the coming
school year and of those who will
become sixteen years of age during
the school year.
Contracts Awarded.

the trains signalled with light, inal
probability. 1t is possible that the
men were tramps seeking a ride
but that they lost courage and rar
for cover. If they planned robber,
they abandoned their plan wher
they found themselves discovered.
The railway officials and Blue
Earth county officials acted prompt
Il y, and Sheriff Osten's posse was pre-
pared for hot work, and would NJ
doubt have given good account Of
themselves, as they included some
good gun fighters, who are cool an(
courageous.
Judson Was in Ignorance.
All Judson slept in peaceful ignor
ance of what was going on about
that hamlet last night. If there
were designs to hold-up and rob &
passenger train near that place nc
one in Judson was aware of it. Mo-
until this morning were the people
there informed of the incident thai
had happened close by. The Free
Press phoned to one Of the residents
there in quest Of more information
relative to the affair in which
strange quartet were the prin
cipals, and received an answer tt
the effect that no one in Judson had
heard of anything of the affair.
Because of their hasty retreat into
the timber, Engineer Webb was un
able to obtain a description of the
men. 1t was too dark also to get
good look at their faces.
Judson residents state that no sus
picious characters have been seen
in that section. Tramps pass that
way, but they appear to be the com
mon variety and would not hold-up
anything stronger than chicken
coop.
New UIm's Protective Force.
New Ulm's police department is
we'll prepared to ward off an inva
sion of an enemy, should such
thing happen. The officers are pro
vided with the latest improved re
volvers and in the station there are
number of Marlin rifles which car
be used at a moments notice. If il
were found necessary citizens could
be armed with these weapons.
The Mankato party that reached
New Ulm early this morning were
much taken with the cluster lights
that adorn the main street of thai
pretty city. But one of the globes
in each cluster was lighted, but the
streets presented a beautiful spec
tacle.
! Could Not Search Premises.
1t was the intention of Sheriff Os-
tens posse to make thorough
search of the premises at the point
where Engineer Webb observed the
four men last night, but the east
bound train this morning did not
stop to permit this to be done, al
though instructions had been giver
Conductor Mccarthy from Winona
to do so. Conductor Mccarthy die
not look upon the affair of last night
with a great deal of seriousness.
! Sheriff OSten wanted TO look over
the ground where the men were seen
in the hope of obtaining some clue
to them. However, Conductor Nc
Carthy thought this was not neces
sary.
The precaution taken by the rail
road company last night was JUST
fed, and the fact that guard was
provided for the rain shows that
the company desired to afford its
patrons every protection. Had a
holdup occurred and no precautioI
taken to prevent it after a warming
had been given no end of criticism
and censure would have been heaped
against the company.
