Had a Good Time

Mrs. 7. Mclaughlin chaperoned
a party composed of Misses Doney,
Johnson, Pierce, Meighen, Patter-
son, Dodds and Mr.. Jos. Damn to
the Oliver camps on Bass Lake,
Friday evening, Saturday and Sun
day. The party was given on the
invitation of Messrs Chas. and
Howard Nightingale, James Jones,
Walter Leonard and Dan Nc
Donald who are employed as
foresters by the Oliver company
and are located at the Bass Lake
camps. Dancing, lunches, and
fishing was INDUCED in. The
music was furnished by an ac-
cordeon player who went with the
young people.
On the return the party secured

BROTHER Hannaford of the Vir.
ginia Enterprise thinks we had nc
business to defend the general
reputation of the town and says
our article in defense of the saloon
is appreciated judging by the ads
for saloons we carry. In the first
place we were not defending the
saloon but only stated that the
business men and prominent cit
liens" were attending to their own
business and were not winking at
law violations as claimed in the
article of the Rev. gentleman. We
did say, and will say it again
knocking a town will not help
matters and the time spent in this
manner might be better used in
righting' some of the wrongs OF
making an effort to do so. To fine
fault with existing conditions is
easy but to furnish a remedy anG

of the Jealous reformer. Be fail
Hannaford, you know one worker
is worth all the knockers this side
of Jericho and we don't think there
is newspaper man on either range
who will close his eyes to the flag
rant violation of laws, even for the
price of a two or three inch saloor
ad.

Quite a little excitement was
created Friday night by dog
fght-not a common everyday dog
fight, but one that would have put
bushes on the cheeks of any four
legged critter that ever took part in
a Mexican bull fight so gritty were
the participants in this dog fight.
In a very few minutes fully fifty
men were on the scene of action,
but only after few minutes more
fighting to see one dog take the old
stage road to Tower and the other
declared the victor by a score oil
admiring enthusiasts. Such is q
dog fight in Ely.

gross earnings part of the program
as outlined by the Herald, we also
suggest that the freight and express
rates be looked into. Sometimes
we have sneaking suspicion that
the railroads raised the passenger
fares simply to detract attention
from the other matters. Freight
and express rates affect all the peo-
pie of the state while the Scent
fare business only affects those who
travel, very small proportion of
our citizens.

OF all the 1ow-down despicable
means ever devised by the lower
state senator's to hold onto their
jobs, is the "Seven-Senator Bill'
to go on the ballot at the next cleo
ton. The senators who connected
this monstrosity are so Id
(meaning damned) narrow that a
look through keyhole with both
eyes at once is snap for them. To
disfranchise an American citizen
because he lives in a city is GER
tainly the hallmark of simon-pure
assininity.

Now that Tom Fisher, the sell

Brown has embraced Christianity
and has been baptized, it would be
a good idea to help him along to
the goal he is after and start him

more than a show of being good to

The passenger train did not

of lot of half baked, kicked-out
Russians without home or
country. They have been denied
the right to live in Russia and now
are fixing it so their room would be
preferable to their company in
this country. From bread made
of bark in the old country to three
square meals day in this country
has swelled the red fagger to such
proportions that he is willing to
run our nation for US and goes so
far as to designate American
citizens who resent his intrusion as
"Spineless herds of hypnotized. !"
The red flagger is an anarchist,
pure and simple, and if he don't
like the way he is treated it is up
to him to get out and go back to
his bark bread and raw fish. We
have them in Ely. Some of them
are in business and take the
Americans money. They use this
money to undermine the principles
for which our forefathers fought
and bled, not openly but secretly.
A red flagger loves daylight about
as much as does the porch climber
or yegg. Were they open and
above board like other societies and
beliefs. they would have handed
the pamphlet to us with their COM
pliments, and not sneaked it

The pamphlet wound up its
doggerell with the following:
*The first flag carried by Uncle
Sans patriots in the early battles
of the Revolution up to July IA,
1777, was a red flag. The burial
of General Pulaski in a red flag is
embalmed in immortal verse by
Longfe1low. Was the most
eminent, learned and loved of all
our American poets, HENRY
WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW,
an anarchist when he wrote The
Hymn of the Moravian Nuns, at
the CONSIDERATION of Pulaski's
Banner?"
No, we do not consider Long
fellow an anarchist neither do we
consider the patriots under General
Putnam that carried the red banner
to victory at Bunker Hill, an
archists. But we do consider the
Haymarket massacre, where the red
flag was Haunted, and several other
happenings of a later day after the
stars and stripes had become the
national emblem, as purely an
archistic.
1t was the flag of the nation that
Longfellow eulogized in his poem.
If Longfellow were to write a poem
eulogizing the red flag today, he
certainly would be considered in
the same class as those who haunt
the red rag and rally under it an
archistic teachings.

THE RED FLAG

We have received through the
mail from someone in this city a
pamphlet entitled, Uncle Sam S
First Flag" and written in answer
to the articles reproduced in this
paper of o. E. Peterson and P. E.
Bowling of Duluth and in which
articles the red flag parade in Du-
luth was looked upon as blotch
on the fair name of that city and
its citizens.
AS the pamphlet is copyrighted,
"a very unnecessary precaution)
we cannot reproduce it, nor would
we if we could. The sentiments
contained therein are not our
sentiments nor the sentiments of an
American by any means but instead
are the vaporings of some long
haired deciple of Johan Most or
Emma Goldman, both anarchists
of the most pronounced red flag
type.
The Crimson Banner" is
eulogized in the pamphlet in poetic
jingle that kind of jars on the
nerves and smells of the Chicago
Haymarket and Molly Mcclure
affairs of history. While the
statement is made that the red flag
was the first flag of this nation and
was used in the war of freedom,
truths that cannot be controverted,
it must also be remembered that
since that time the Stars and Stripes
have been adopted as the emblem
of Americans and those worship
ping other flags are traitors to this
country. 1t must also be remem-
bered that the red flag was used in
a good cause at that time and had
not deteriorated into the banner of
anarchy, riot and arson as it is to-
day and that in the unpleasantness
at Bunker Hill it was carried as an
American emblem and not the
emblem of the off scourings of
Russia and the other foreign lands.
The color of the banner makes
no particular difference to an
American. 1t is not the red in the
banner that rolls the patriotic blood
but the cause it represents should
make every good citizen of this
country come out against it. The
Stars and Stripes is the emblem of
a true American. The red flag is
the emblem of the anarchist and
nothing more. No one carries the
red flag unless he belongs to this
cult and no one belongs to the cult
that is an American. We saw the
Duluth parade last June and will
be safe in wagering all we own
against the hole in a doughnut
that there were not ten people in
the line of march that had their
second papers. There was not an
American by birth in the entire
line. Even the band was not
American and never played a
National air during the march.
What we saw in the line were all
young Firms whose attitude stamp
ed them recent emigrants.
In this procession the American
flag, size about 2x4, was used as a
minimizing influence for the large
red banner that followed. Not
another red, white and blue banner
was noticeable but the red rag was
quite numerous. Duluth allowed
the parade, happening that would
have been out of the question in
any of the range towns. The
paraders said it was midsummer
celebration but in truth it was
show of strength. The celebrants
were mostly range people and went
to Duluth where they were allowed
to haunt the red rag to their hearts
delight and thus put one over on
the range towns that had frowned
down shows of this kind.
It seems strange that the Ameri-
can cannot run his country and

In Trouble Again.

Clyde Cribbins, about IL years of age,
who, with Young Dykstra was sent to
the reform school from Morrow county
about two years ago on the charge OF
burning the Bob Dexter barn in Hepp.
ner, is in trouble again. He was pa
rolled this spring and returned to Lex
ington where his people reside This
time it is for entering a house at Lex
ington and taking therefrom a revolver
and some iswelry.
The theft was reported to Sheriff
Hayes and he deputized w. P. McbIil.
Ian TO look Oribbins up, which he did.
and the young fellow acknowledged
taking the articles and returned them to
the proper owner. On investigating
the matter. Judge Patterson and Dist.
Atty. Van Vactor decided that the best
thing to do will be to return the boy to
the reform school, and the superintend.
ent OF that institution has been so in.
formed and will order him returned to
Salem.
Cribbins seems to be somewhat of
degenerate and prone to get into trouble
of this character. Young Dykstra ia
reported to be doing we'll. He IS learn
ing the cobbler's trade, and when a pa
role was offered him, refused il, as he
desired to remain and finish his trade.

Big Crop of CanteIoupes.

The Southern Pacific Company has
practically completed one of the greatest
crop movements in the history of any
transportation company in this country
This movement was the handling of the
canteloupe crop of the Imperial Valley,
California and of the crop in Arizona
and Nevada. Up to and including mid
night, July "a, the Southern Pacific
Company had shipped 2844 cars of can
teloupes out of the Imperial Valley dur
ing the season of approximately 2
months. About 100 more cars remain
to be shipped from this point to the
markets.
This record exceeds all previous ship
ments by approximately 1000 cars, The
csnteIoupe crop of Arizona up to and
including July "a, amounts to 403 cars,
with about 800 more cars of this fruit to
be shipped. About % cars have already
been shipped from the Moapa dis
trict IN Nevada by the San Pedro. Los
Angeles and Salt Lake road. about 100
more remaining to be shipped.
Nearly 81, 600, 600 pounds of ice were
required for the shipping of these can
teloupes. The biggest days picking
was June ii when 1873 carloads were
harvested. These cars were hauled
from Brawley, the shipping center, to
Imperial junction on the main line of
the Southern Pacific, in one train, the
length of which was 6175 teet, consider
ably more than a mile long. There
were 324 crates in each car and 45
r1elons to the crate, or a total number
Of IA 5S0 melons in each car, and in this
long train l ,939, l40 melons. The larg-
est previous train load of canteloupes
was shipped from the Imperial Valley
in 1908, SO cars moving over the South
ern Pacific lines to eastern points
When one appreciates the fact that each
of these melons was handled at least
three times, in picking, wrapping and
Grating, they can readily imagine the
army of men necessary in the field to do
this work.
Two and quarter million dollars is
the estimate put on the Imperial cantel- !
oupe crop. now that the season is near
its end One feature of this years out
put, is that despite it's size, the melons
have been of better quality than ever
before
