Messrs. Mel Allen, Edward Rich

from their trip TO the Marble caves,
and Mr.. Richardson left this morn
ing for his home at Colyille. Wash
ington. A delightful trip to the cav
ern wonder of Josephine is reported
the government guide stationed there
being most competent and obliging,
He escorted the young gentlemen
through all the various underground
chambers and passages, taking them
into Paradise Lost, one of the most
beautiful OF all the chambers, but
which because OF its difficulty OF ae-
cess is visited by but few. The
guide explained that he piloted but
two classes OF people through this
cavern, those who appeared amply
able TO care for themselves on the
hazardous climb, or those whose loss
would be a matter OF small concern
to the world II they should lose their
footing. He failed, however, to ex-
plain his classification OF this trio of
sightseers, and they are still won

FRENCH LABOR PARTY
DIVIDES On POLICIES

Paris, July 31.-Already split into
red" and yellow" or revolutionary
and conservative groups, the French
general confederation OF labor has
been further subdivided over the
measures the syndicalists propose to
take as demonstration against the
government and the new three-year
service army law and the decree or
dering the liberable portion of the
army to remain an extra year under
the colors.
One faction advocates a general
strike, the other. and larger, group
inviting labor unions to redouble
their activities encouraging the grow
ing opposition among the working
classes"
This last is the official attitude of
the confederation OF labor, and as
the reds are dominant. this rath-
'er vague program is taken by the
French government as sign that
the numerous arrests among labor
leaders for anti-military teachings,
have had effect 1t is predicted that
the confederation viii scarcely need
the dissolution order from the gov
ernment but will fall of its own ac-
cord.
Whatever happens, there is a
strong movement on foot through
out France, among labor leaders, to
build up new confederation upon
the ruins Of the old, patterning It as
far as possible after the general con-
federation OF labor in the United
States.

was not arrested till he reached this
city. Neither boat or FISH were cap

This Is going to be a winter of going to It good and plenty. Everybody has got 10 hustle. If he doesn't sec something 10 hustle over he's got to make some thing to hustle over. The very best cure in the world for the feeling that things are going against you is to get out and hustle to keep them from so- ing against you. The man who IS 50 busy that he hasn't time to stop and think about how badly off he is soon cets over his grouch about the way the gods have treated him. The busy man is the happy man. and that IS the kind of men we will need here this winter. Busy and happy. Put 1t in the inside of your hat. Get busy and stay happy. If you are not going to do that and incidently boost old Nome up out of the mess she is in you'd far better get out and be drone in some other place. We wont need any drones here this winter.
