Olaf Horton Passes Away.

Olaf Horton, a young man 2S
years of age, a native of Norway
died at the hospital at La Crosse last
evening from typhoid fever, with
other complications, after an illness
of about three weeks. He had been
working at the new dam, where he
strained himself and contracted ty-
phoid fever, being brought to town
soon afterward. He has no relatives
In this country, and his death is
therefore the more sad. Arrange
ments are not yet made for the fun
eral. He was an industrious, upright
young man, who readily made
friends.

Iowa and Automobiles.

On the basis of population Iowa
has five times as many automobiles
as New York and more than any
other state in the union. The num-
Der of registered machines on July 1
of the current year was $4,000. Most
of the machines are owned by farm
ers and villagers, says the Dubuque
Telegraph-Herald.
The figures reveal a condition of
diffused prosperity because the ma
chimes are paid for and most of the
owners have means sufficiently large
to enable them to maintain the auto
mobiles without mourning debt. If
every automobile bought, or even
every one in five, signalled a mort
gage on house or stock of goods to
pay for it, as is the case in large
cities, Iowa would not find any COM
fort in its distinction.
The farmer and villager can best
afford to own an automobile and
this for the reason that it has COM
mercial value for both not afforded
the man in the city. The farmer who
can make trip in an hour that for
merly occupied day saves time that
means money. The returns to him
on his investment are larger than to
the man in the city who reckons the
only profit the pleasure he gets out
of mortoring.

duel with an unknown man at the
Santa Fe bridge at o'clock Monday

STRIKE SENTIMENT
rs LOSING STRENGTH
Demands of Shop Employees
Not Considered Sllffi-
cient For Tieup

The railroad craftsmens demonstra-
ton strike, that was scheduled for all
OF the railroads west of Chicago to
be declared some time this month,
seems to be losing its force and the
odds are now against the general strike
being called. The demands of the shop
employees of the railroads for a seven
cent per hour increase and a reduction
from nine TO an eight hour working
day, has been put up to the officials OF
the Hartman lines at San Francisco
and was promptly turned down by z.
E. Calvin, vice president and general
manager. The committees representing
the shopmen were told by the vice
president that no changes could be
made in the shop rules or hours. and
that their demands would be refused.
At the meeting of the employees of
the Tucson shops, 1t is reported that
the proposal to strike was voted down
and the FL Paso shopmen are not favor
able to a strike of the machinists at
this time. No vote has yet been taken
of the FL Paso shops, but the opinion
is strong against the strike in all de-
partments Of the road.
Judging from the attitude of the
shopmen on the Southern Pacific, the
strike is not meeting with popular ia
vor among the men who are directly
concerned. 1t has been reported that
the strike was being called by the
Western Federation of Labor as q
demonstration OF that body's strength.
The Ell Paso shop employees say that
they do not consider this a sufficient
reason for calling q general strike. and
that they will vote down any strike
proposal that Is put up to them.
