ADVERSE TO UNION LAeoR.

One or the most radical decisions
against union labor yet handed down
by the higher courts was that recently
announced by the appellate court OF
Illinois in the case of George Sutton
of Bloomington against Otto Work
meister and 100 of his fellow en-
ployes all on the payroll of the
Chicago & Alton shops there.
A year ago, under threat Of a
strike, the Chicago Alton manage
ment made settlement with the ma
chinists by which closed shop was
permitted, no one being permitted to
work except after joining the union.
Sutton and number of other veteran
employees are members of an English
mechanics organization known as the
Amalgamated Association of Engineers
which prohibits its members from
joining any other labor organization
and also forfeits its insurance bene
fits for violation of the constitution
Sutton and his fellow members de
clined to give up their old organiza
ton for the new, and the road wal
compelled to discharge them, although
Offering them positions at other point
on the road. The men dropped file,
suit against the union and its mem
bers and after bitterly conteste,

ANGELS.

ANGELS.
Ii the old days God sent His angels
oft
To men in thrashing floors, to wom-
en- pressed
With daily tasks; they came to tent
and croft
And whispered words of blessing
and of rest.
Not mine to guess what shape those
angels wore,
Nor tell what voice they spoke. nor
with what grace.
They brought the dear love down that
evermore
Makes lowliest souls its best abfd-
ing place.
But in these days know my angels
well;
They brush my garments on the
common way,
They take my hand and very softly
Some bit of comfort in the waning
day.
And though their angel names do
not ken,
Though in their faces human love
l read,
They are God-given to this world of
men,
God sent to bless it in its hours of
need.
Child. mothers, dearest wife, brave
hearts that take
The rough and bitter cross. and
help us bear
lis heavy weight when strength is like
to break,
God bless you all, our angels I'M
aware!
Margaret E. sangster.

Judge Conley, presiding in the d.
yorce court in Los Angeles, declared
the other day that go per cent of
men in California earn about SIS a
month, and some women spend a
months wages to get feather for
their hats" There is one divorce for
every three marriages in Los Angeles,
and the court expressed the opinion
that idle life in fats is responsible
for many OF them. Flower and vege-
table gardens, which would occupy
the idle moments of women, woulu
tend to lessen the divorce list.

Over A Hundred Of Aber-
deems Pioneers Gather
at Haynes Ranch
ENJOYED ADJUSTMENTS
Rain Marred Day Somewhat
Plan to 0rganize..Che-
halls Co. Society.

Despite the drizzling rain of last
Thursday the pioneers picnic held
at the Haynes ranch at MOntesano
proved very enjoyable. Over a hun
dred persons availed themselves of
the hospitable invitation of Mr. and
Mrs. Haynes and by train, by automo-
bile and by carriage made their way
to the ranch for a day in a typical
farm home. For many who were rails
ed on farms possibly in the middle
West or the East, it was much like
return to the days of youth: es-
pecially since all the entertainment
that was provided was 'old-fashion-
ed" amusements.
The crowd INDUCED in no formality
whatever. They strolled over the
premises, through the gardens and
the barn-yards and the berry patches,
admiring what they saw, and often
stopping to eat of the fruit that was
not forbidden them The children
roamed through the barns and romp-
ed in the fresh hay. Others enjoyed
"reminiscences of experiences when
the county was new and sparsely peo-
pied.
At noon the dinner was served on
the veranda instead of the arbor as
was planned. II was a country din
ner with all of the samples of farm
staples and danties.
Part of the business that was tran
sacted was the proposition to change
the status of the association. AS it
is now the organization is the Aber-
deem Pioneers Association, and is
composed of all who have lived in
Aberdeen for twenty years or more.
AS this makes the base somewhat
limited it is proposed to change it
into the Chehalis County Pioneers
Association, or else to form a new
county organization. 1t is planned
that there will be a county reunion
of old settlers one each year. and
then possibly the Aberdeen body may
have a meeting of its own at some
other season.

FINDS BUSINESS GOOD
"Never Better" Says Geo. j. Wolff,
VINO Is Enjoying Large
Trade

Business was never better"
This is the declaration of George
j. Wolff, who says that all the facts
and figures of retail business in Alb
erdeen and on Grays Harbor will con-
firm the opinion that he holds that
the volume of business now being
transacted in this city is larger than
i has ever been before. He says
he judges this partly by the statistics
of his own store and partly by what
he has gathered from other mer-
chants. Our own sale" says Mr..
Wolff, gives a good idea of what
mean when | say that business is
good. 1t has exceeded all our ex-
pectations.
business is so good" added Mr..
Wolff, that we are justified in going
ahead and planning on a most extern
sive fall trade. For that purpose we
have already placed large orders for
fail goods, and some of these we ex-
pect to arrived shortly We will not
only carry larger stocks this fall than
ever before, but predict that we
will do larger business than ever.

BARK ESPADA NOW
rs DAYS OVERDUE
Reinsurance Is Refused en- Vessel on
Her Way from Aberdeen to
Australia.

The bark Espada. $50 days out of
Grays Harbor for Adelaide. South Aus
tralia, is believed to be lost with all
hands The Espada cleared from Alb
erdeen over the bar. That is the
last heard of her and, as the normal
passage time on this run is seventy
five days, it appears that the hope
which was so long held for the ship
and crew must be given up.
The Espada was in command of
Capt. Inghart Jacobson, of Tacoma.
and was manned by a crew of ten
men. Among the Messengers was Mrs.
Jacobson, who was formerly Miss Hell
ga Anderson, of 2156 South NJ street,
Tacoma
The bark loaded at the Slade mill
with a full cargo of lumber for the
Australian port and unless in the
course of her passage she struck a
mighty storm, it is the belief of 10.
cal seamen, that she ran aground, as
it would be almost impossible for a
ship to sink in midocean when filled
with lumber.

ARE CRUISING
F., THE TIMBER
Work Progressing Rapidly
and May Be Completed
October |

MONTESANO, July 23-The cruise
of the timber lands of Chehalis cOun-
ty is reported as progressing even
more rapidly than was expected by
the friends of the measure, or even
by the cruiser in charge, j. A. Nc
Gillicuddy. The fine weather of the
past few weeks has resulted in the
reports of the field cruisers coming in
rapidly. In fact, so much progress
has been made this month, that it
is rumored here that a reduction in
the field force may soon be looked
for
Numerous reports have been sent
out from here concerning the extent
and cost of this measure. and many
of them are so misleading as to oc-
casion the inference that they are in
spired. either by an opposition to the
plan, or through ignorance of the
work as it is being carried on.
1t is safe to assume that any re-
er McGillicuddy or his Office are imag-
mary. Since the beginning, Mr.. Nc
Gillicuddy has impressed his force
with the necessity of absolute secre-
cy as to the reports made, taking the
position that no report was final un-
til duly scrutinized and passed upon,
an II sh hn aIa g
of all to the board of county com
miSSiOnerS.
1t is said that several reports have
been turned down through the knoWl-
edge of Mr.. McGillicuddy OF the lands
i'll question. In fact, it is generally
understood, that when report
reaches the office here and fails to
meet the views of the chief cruiser,
another cruise is Immediately made,
and unless the second report tallies
close to the first, somebody is dis
charged
At the rate the work is now going
on, it is believed that Mr.. McGlli-
cuddy will have the work in the field
completed by October /, and will be
in position to make an interesting
report to the board of equalization
next month, concerning certain lands
that have for years been assessed as
| logged-off, while really carrying large
bodies of timber.

GETS HAND HURT
IN ICE CRUSHER

William Doyle, an emplOye of the
Them Brothers dairy, met with a Sc
we're accident yesterday which will
seriously impair the use of one of
his hands. Doyle was in the act of
taking a bucketful of ice from the
power ice-crusher at the dairy when
one of the knives caught his hand
and cut off two of his fingers. The
plant was busy yesterday, making ice
cream and Doyle. who was employed
as driver. was called in to work
at the plant. He was not accustomed
to the ice crusher and this probably
accounts for the accident. He was
removed to ST. Josephs hospital,
where his hand was dressed.
