Don't ask Fred Heath what
he received for Christmas I'M
less you want to irritate q sole
spot. The boys in the store
fixed up a little deal on him
and he was so disappointed that
it still rankles in his breast.
It seems that Mr.. Heath has q
hat he always wears when he
is driving his auto and the hat
is known more for its useful
ness than its beauty so the
boys took the hat, fixed it all
up in a beautiful holiday pack
age and had the express COM
pany deliver it. Of course
Fred thought some Of the
wholesale houses were sending
him q present so called all OF
the clerks aronnd him when he
opened it. AS soon as he saw
what it was there q scattering
of clerks and the subject of
Christmas presents has not
been mentioned in the store in
the presence of Mr.. Heath.

The employees did demand the
Is per cent increase granted at
Lawrence. The mill owners re-
piled that they had already done
their utmost. They pointed to
how they had voluntarily CD in
creased wages 5 per cent, and said
they would be ruined if they in
creased them more at this time.
But the employees demanded the
Is per cent increase. Negotia-
tions went on until Yesterday,
when the owners of the Appleton
mill refused to meet with the rep
resentatiNes of the workers.:

Such is the attitude which the
police assume at the beginning of
a strike, which promises to as
sumo serious proportions.
The trouble between the work
ers and the mill owners is very
simple. tits a result tot the Law
renee strike.
All during the Lawrence strike,
the mill owners here received
daily bulletins as to its progress.
When it seemed as if the strikers
would be crushed under the
weight of the soldiery and the
Wool Trust owned police of Law
renee, they were jubilant.
When the story of the brutal
tiles OF the, sold1ery and police
pere published all over the land
through the United Press, and
Congress took the matter up, and
people all over the United States
demanded a square deal for the
oppressed strikers, the mill own
ers here, were correspondingly
depressed.
But when the Lawrence strike
was won, when the Is per cent in
crease was granted the workers in
the Lawrence mills, and they re-
turned to their looms, the mill
owners here, Immediately acted.
: They announced 5 per cent
increase in wages.

MYSTERY SURROUNDS THE
 DUNCAN MeFADDEN CRAVE,

Once more the romantic ground where lies the bones of SOapy Smith reek Of mystery. Today the old cemetery has the appearance of 6 treasure trove Island, the result Of the discovery that the grave of Duncan McFadden on which the sod has grown since the early days ot gS. has the appearance of a newly furrowed field.
 Lending belief to the theory that the grave has been tempered with Is the discovery on the part of Marshal Fonzo of a two dunnage bags, a pair of gloves, two lanterns and a mum Der of picks and shovels in the near vicinity.
 This discovery was made last night This morning an attempt was made by City Marshal Page and Mathew Sundeen to determine if anything had been buried in the newly dis rurted plot Upon digging down as far as the ground had been disturbed by the midnight marauders 1t was found that nothing had been placed there.
 It as the opinion of ell who have viewed the scene Of the mystery that it was for the purpose Of recovering a plant" that the grave was dis tuTbed. This plant may have con- sisted of gold bullion stolen in the early days aad hidden until the ex- citement had passed over. Marshal Fonzo will make an exhaustive inves- tigation into the affair.

while at the same time all wharfage charges made against freight hand led by the defendant steamship con- panies and transferred across Moore's wharf to the railroad and destined to the interior points were included in the railroad company's portion of the joint rate received by it on through billing by the defendant steamship companies.
 From April 1, 1909, until April l, 1911, it Is alleged, the railroad com pany continuously refused to enter in to any through freight arrangement such as is enjoyed by other steam ship companies whereby freight could be shipped through on through bills of lading issued by the Humboldt Steamship Company from Seattle to points beyond Skagway, on by which passengers could be ticketed for a through journey from Seattle to in- terior Alaska points.
 The petition recites that the Hum boldt Steamship Company continuous ly requested the same agreements and privileges enjoyed by the Alaska and Pacific Coast Steamship companies, but their eutreaties were met with a deaf ear.
 It is asserted that consignors and consignees of freight refused to pay the excessive freight rates made up of the sum of the local rates plus the wharfage charges, passengers re fused to pay the excessive passenger rates made up of the sum of the local rates and refused to submit to the annoyance and delays incident to the rechecking of baggage at Skag- way, and the Humboldt Steamship Company suffered heavy loss in revenue.
 During the years 1905, 1906, 1907 and 1908, it is asserted, the steamship Humboldt was operated under a joint through traffic arrangement with the Pacific & Arctic Railway & Nayiga- tion Company and such through freight and passengers constituted a large part of the business done by the plaintiff company, which was highly profitable and remunerative but that the alleged conspiracy en, tered into by the defendants has re suited in important losses in revenue by preventing the Humboldt Steam, ship Company nom participating iu such through business on as favorabl terms as it's competitors and by form. ing a monopoly of the transportation business between Seattle. Skagway and particularly to points in interior Alaska.
 The plaintiff company is represent, ed by Charles F. Munday.

inee Herald Leader, is a shock TO the
newspaper men of the upper peninsu-
la. by whom he was much admired.
not only for his versatile Journal
istic abilities but FOR mis- splendid
qualities of manhood as well. To the
editor of The News his death is al
most a personal loss because of an in
innate acquaintance which began
while Mr.. Trayes was in charge Of
the Hancock Journal.
Mr.. Traycs was an indefatgable
worker. veritable human dynamo. a
man who toiled until late at night and
came again in the morning fresh and
eager Tor the new day. Always anx-
ious TO do more than his share he
inspired those associated with him.
and the work done under his direction
showed results so keen to the heart
of every true newspaper man. He did
this because he loved the game, not
because he was compelled in any way
to over-exert himself He gave Of his
best each day 60 his newspaper; he
always was at his post. lie persuea

Of sound Judgment quick discernment
and keen discrimination. He was able
to forecast, in large measure, the

ment and ever was watchul Of the

BOG AND WET LANDS.

| Farming has become a science in
stead of a guessing proposition. A
man who does not reason out what
his land is fitted for and what he can
obtain the greatest amount Of rev.
enue from is not farming scientifical-
| ly. We find positive proof Of this
fact in Menominee county. where
there IS considerable bog land which
has been considered of not much agri-
cultural value. but through the efforts
of - l. Cook ii is becoming most VAL
liable ir revenue producing of any
land in the county He had consid-
cradle of this quality Of land about
three miles and a half from Menom-
inee on what is known as the Gilbert
farm. He ditched it and drew OFF the
water and applied two hundred
pounds of potash per acre to this
land, and planted the same to Span
ish onions and caulifower He de-
veioped an acre of the finest Spanish
onions that can be grown. far superior
to those that are grown in southeast
ern Texas. An acre of this quality
If onions brings a revenue of from
$3.50 20 $3.50. He also planted twenty
seven acres of cauihower on this
same land, which runs in revenue
from $500 to $500 an acre. other
farmers in Cloverland who have this
quality of land are working against
their own interests when they do not
take up and follow the same line of
operation that Mr.. Cook has demon
strated to be a success.
