Two Watertown industrial concerns
have come under the Wisconsin work
mems compensation act, the Washington
Cutlery company, 80 employees. and
Henry Willenbockel employees. 1t is
probable that other companies in this
city employing help, will come under
the act and thus afford their employees
the protection and aid provided by the
provisions of the law.

SMALL BOWS USED ON
PANNIER DRI0SS-
%<<%<~~%%%~~%<.

The use of small bows on the lat
est models represent very special
novelty, or rather revival and will
play an important part during the
coming months.
For evening wear they give par
ticularly dainty finish to some Of the
gowns which are being prepared for
the season, as, for instance. on a
charming frock of pearl-white char
meuse, to the eOrsage of which are
affixed full panniers Of gaiiy pat
termed pompadour silk covered with
bouquets of rose-colored blossoms.
These panniers are rather ingeni-
ously lifted at the back, where they
are crossed and carried upwards to
be fastened on the shoulder blades in
the style of a Vatican plait.
The white satin underdresa which
is visible below the panniers, Is APP

WHERE He GOT IT
OPEN DOOR POLICY WAS
SUGGESTED BY OLD NEGRO

Governor-Elec Sulzer Tells Story Of
How He Came to Speak on the Pol
ICY Of Keeping the "Latch String
Out"--Says 1t Will Be Low Enough
for All,
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1912-12-20

Washington, Dec. 2O.-There is an
interesting tale iE the origin of the
open door policy which Governor
eect Sulzer has announced will mark
his administration at Albany. Accord
ing to Sulzer the idea was originated
by an old colored porter who had
charge of the car in which he can
Vassed the empire state prior to the
election and it is to the old negro that
he gives the credit for the idea
During the strenuous campaign
days it was the habit of the candidate
to return to his car in the evenings
and before retiring. to partake of
late supper consisting of a sand
wich or so The old negro. whose
name could not be recalled but which
the governor-elect says is positively
the longest of any except possibly the
titled heads of Europe was known as
Uncle" to all.
1t was near the end of the cam
paign when the candidate returned
to the car late one evening for the
customary refreshment. The day had
been especially strenuous. Three
speeches had been delivered and an
other was scheduled for that night.
The candidate was tired. Uncle"
with his trained powers of observa-
ton, noticed this and remarked
"Mister Sulzer, don't you go and
worry about dat selection, cause you
is gwine to win most sartinly. I'm
got dat premonition.'
Thereupon the candidate resumed
his campaign tastics, asking "Uncle"
for whom he intended to cast his
ballot.
Use gwine to vote for you, Boss.
We piggers know dat de man up at
Albany has done pulled his latch
string inside and dey say you is go
ing to put it out again. L suspect
though dat it is going to be too high
for most of us poor coons to reach"
The following day the gubernato-
rial candidate made use of the "open
door policy" for the first time in the
campaign. He has since promised to
put the string out again, low enough
for anyone that wishes to reach.

here but indications now are that the
snow will have gone soon as a Chi
nook wind is blowing. Deep snow is
not expected very soon as it is too
early by several weeks for severe
winter weather Ice cutting was done
last week by ranchers here who haul
ed many tons to icehouses in the val
ley. Nearly every farmer here has
an icehouse. The ice, which was
hauled in wagons for the first time
in many years, was of excellent quail
ity. Usually ice does not form until
later in the season than this and is
then hauled by sleds on the snow.
The snow of Saturday will occasion
the next hauling of ice to be done by
sleds.
