Dock Employees Strike

The workers on the Duluth,
Missabe & Northern docks in Du-
luth are out on strike and trouble
is being looked for. The Duluth
& Iron Range men at Two Harbors
refused to go out after being
coaxed and threatened by agitators
sent out by the Industrial Workers
of the World. The Missabe strike
has practically tied up the work on
the range, the docks and the boats.
The men on the Allouez docks at
Superior went out last week fol-
lowing a wreck on the road.
The management of the Missabe
docks and also the Allouez say work
will be resumed at once and all
those willing to go to work will be
protected. Mayor Konkel of Su-
perior says he will call out the
MALTA to protect the men going to
work if nothing better shows up.

doesn't are when he fails to
note the superior advantages Of

once dreaded by the small mer-

placed him In a superior strate-
gic position. He Is now the GEN.

miles In every direction wherein
he can ship goods at a much
lower postal rate and much more
expeditiously than any one out

Absolute Truth About
The Great Kidney Remedy

Several years ago 1 suffered with
pad pains in my back. 1 was very
restless, often getting up several times
during the night. Ny limbs were
swollen and 1 dropped in weight to
l47 poundds. 1 consulted a we'll
known Norfolk physician and he
stated that I had a very bad case of
kidney trouble.
1 saw your advertisement in the na-
per and purchased a bottle of DR..
kilmer's Swamp-Root from a drug
gist,, after he recommended it to me.
After 1 took three bottles, 1 felt
greatly relieved. 1 have taken Swamp
Root since at different times. I
gained in weight to 206 pounds, and
l am we'll and have been ever since
commenced taking Swamp-Root.

Portland, Ore, March 6.-Wool-
growers are cautioned against n beat
ing some of the mistakes thew have
made In previous years in marketing
thelr product. The alarm has been
| sounded by John G. Hoke, secretary
of the Oregon Woolgrowers' associa-
ton, in special advice to the Jour-
nal. The list of wool sales dates re-
Gently published has been found to
De unofficial, and slightly incorrect
In several details. The official dates
are given as follows by Secretary
Hoke:
Oregon-Pilot Rock. May %; Echo,
May "a; Heppner, May 81; Echo,
June 2; Pilot Rock, June 8; Shaniko,
June 5; Baker June I; Ontario,

10, July l. Vale, July 2, Baker, July 6; 4;
Joseph; July 8; Enterprise, July 9;
Wallowa, July 10; Shaniko, July Is;
Bend, July II.
The advice of Secretary Hoke says
in detail:
"A great many growers differ in the
wool sales dates, thinking that the
buyers have a combination against
the growers. However, 1 am of. the
opinion that anyone having a good
clip of wool with light shrinkage will
have plenty of competition. Wool is
the same as any other commodity
no buyer wants an inferior clip of
wool at the same price as a good clip.
Light shrinkage long staple wool is
always desirable, and competition is
Keen for clip of this kind
differences in feeding and care for
sheep makes great difference in the
value of clip of wool. Putting up
wool is of great Importance to the
grower. He should always eliminate
the heavy bags, keep the black wool
from the other, tie with paper twine
and use a paint that will scour out.
All of this is taken into consideration
at wool sales.
However, the grower is not given
the advantage of this unless all do
1T, for the buyer is not going to give
you something for nothing He takes
the advantage of all you do to help
him sell the wool.
Good, clean wool, with the above
named things eliminated, sells read
lily in Boston to he manufacturer and
needs no work on the part of the
commission firm to sell. When all
growers give more attention to their
wool, they will get better results. We
now are entering into competition
with foreign woods and practically on
a free wool basis, and we must meet
this competition with an article that
is put up in the proper manner or
suffer the consequences
"All woods offered in the London
market is packed in this same man
ner and the buyer does not have to
open the entire lot to sell. He knows
that the entire clip is just as it is la
beled. Until woolgrowers of this
country do these things, just so long
will they get the worst end of 1t In
the way of price.
'Sisal or binder twine has cost the
manufacturer a lot of money. This
twine cannot be eliminated, and will
show up in the cloth. showing at a
glance the streak of twine. In part |
the woolgrower does not do these
things, but the man on the farm with
a small flock is the one responsible |
for this, and wool buyers will not buy
wool tied with this twine."

There is more Catarrh in this section OF
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
suDposed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced 1t local
disease and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced 1t incurable. Sci
ence has proven Catarrh to be a consti
tutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co,
Toledo, Ohio Is the only Constitutional
cure on the market. 1t Is taken internally
