Claiming that the new Ton

SudlutiuS tiidJ tllt utW lOIl-
 gass Building was being pro- jected out into Dock tSreet five
 Eiches over the edge of the lot. Ij R. Heckman acting in be- half oi the J. R. Heckman &
 Co. has secured a temporary a
 estraining order against the
 Fongass company returnable
 in Judge Lyons court at Ju-
 neau next Saturday, April 18th. The result of the restraining
 order is the total cessation of
 all work on the new building,
 which is practically in the
 hands of Marshal Davies and
 h,s deputies.
 Of course there is consider able difference of opinion around town about the merits uf the case, and it is a safe bet that if one sees two or more rlen talking together on the streets today. that the injunc- ton is the topic of conversa ton.
 According to the Heckman side of the story, the Tongass lot was not quite square with the street, so that company ap- piled to the Common Council for relief, and that body deeded the company triangular piece seven or eight inches in width OH the front and running out 10 nothing on the back, for the purpose of strengthening out the kinks, winch the Tongass accepted, but that company in erecting the new building now plan to build out another five inches, and have so placed the foundations.
 On the other hand, Manager Fred c. Johnstone of the Ton gass Trading company, states that his company in erecting their building is occupying ground two inches less than that granted them in their Geeds, and even at that the main wall will be five inches Lack from the street, as the building will be of pilaster con struction with curtain walls tetween. These pilasters, six i'll number, will project from the rest of the wall five inches, but at that will be within the old Tongass lots.
 Here is the case as presented ty the two claimants, and W hich one is right can only he decided by the court after due constellation. But this much l cannot be disputed, it is very that such con- dition should have arisen al this time, when apparently we were on the verge of an era of building here in Ketchikan, W !lich is bound to be affected Ey litigation of this nature.

 shorter and more practical line.

THE SOLUTION
(Contributed)

ot the financial question. Hap lplly the 1. w. w. offers it,
 Abolishment of the wage sys- Item.
 1 Now the l. w. w. is no new 1 thing. 1 have been filled with this same noble inspiration for more than forty years. At a. lout that time I was hired cut to work for an uncle on a farm.
 To Work for Wages--think of it! The disgrace, the igno- miny of it. Even though the wages were very small--$7.00 per month--l was to work for wages At this time was quite a young philosopher, filled with ali those qualities so nec- essary to 1. w. Wism. My uncle had a corn field in which was cultivating. On one side was woods--nice and cool and shady On the other side a rail renee, every corner of which was filled with great, luscious black raspberries. It was at this time my tender so. ,icitude for animals was form cd. Every time I crossed the field 1 gave that poor old horse 6 nice long rest, and philos- ephised.
 In our neighborhood lived a Capitalist. He owned mus kci, an old siX-shooter, two silver watches--one of which would run some--an army cap with a red, white .and blue plume on it, also many other treasures. His greatest asset however, was a big harvest ap- | ple tree, loaded with the most succulent fruit.
 Now right here came a dis agreement between myself, a wage slave, and the Capitalist. At this point we boys in the neighborhood organized a se- cret society. The greatest diff ficulty about reaching those apples was a high fence with barbed wire on top. Though VIC couldn't follow the l. w. w. method of removing the ob joct, We found it possible to su1nount it. Now this socie- ty was not known as the 1. w. w., and mOdesty deters me from giving the name we were kEown by. It is only neces- sary to state that our princi- ples were practically the same. For instance, no rich man can join the l. w. w., his son was mot allowed to join our society. No merchant, businessman, manufacture or farmer can join the I. w. w., their sons were excluded from our soci- ety. No preacher can join the II w. w., their sons could not join Us regularly, though there vaS oue preachers son who would have made us a most valuable worker. He could get ever q fence the quickest, and through the smallest hole of any boy l ever saw.
 When I look back at those days, feel that I can almost say that I am the originator bf the I. w. w.
 After a while a new party popped up calling themselves Socialists. Now. I thought here is the panacea. But im- agine my disgust to find that they not only upheld working for wages, but even have the audaciiy to demand q material increase i'll wages, which of course makes them impossible Therefore, l feel that 1 am all l. w. W. That is l Want Work.

His Cash a Dollar Long

The Washington correspondent OF the
Boston Herald writes that paper as
follows:-
Senator Carroll S. Page of Vermont
dropped into Washington bank once to
get some money changed into So so gold
pieces which is the only way he will carry
the stuff about with him.
While standing at thecashier' window
he happened to look down at his feet and
noticed crisp ST. BILL
Here" says Page to the cashier, lis
money. Somebody must have dropped
it."
"Well, suppose it is yours" said the
cashier affably. Or at least it isn't ours.
| might keep it until see if anybody
claims it, and if not, it's yours. You
found it,"
"Put it away" suggested Page, who
has kept books, until you hnd how your
cash comes out, and then if you're not
short we'll give it to some worthy
charity"
So the cashier laid it in the drawer.
A week later the senator again APP
peared at the bank, but had forgot all
about the dollar bill
The cashier glanced up at him and
then opened his mouth and stared.
"Do you know" gasped the cashier,
IL had forgot all about that dollar you
left here until right now. And I've been
staying here till midnight trying to
figure why my cash was a dollar long!

Mr.. Editor
We are sure it will be very interesting
to the people of this community at this
date. which is SO near the anniversary
of Lees surrender, to know that one of
our citizens was present on that occasion
and saw both General Lee and General
Grant and the other officers of both

at Appomattox Court House George A.
Cheney, who was a member of Co. B.
Fourth Vermont, was detailed as order
ly at the headquarters of Gems. Sedgwick
and Wright, the commanders of the
Sixth Corps of which the Old Vermont
Brigade was a part and which was recog-
nized as the greatest fighting corps in
the whole army. In his capacity as
orderly to Gen. Wright, Mr.. Cheney was
with him at Appomatox at the time of
the surrender.
Mr.. Cheney was acting as orderly for
Gen. Sedgwick at the battle of Spots
sylvania Court House and was sent by
him to carry a message to some other
commanders and upon his return he
found that his commanding officer had
been shot through the head He had
just been warned by some of his staff
officers because the bullets were flying
about in the air and he had just replied
They cannot hit an elephant at this
distance" when he was hit by sharp
shooter. He it was who gave that
famous command put the Vemonters
ahead and keep the ranks closed up" He
was one of our ablest officers and his
men were devoted to him.
Mr.. Cheney was also privileged to
stand within few feet of President
Lincoln at the time he delivered his
second inaugural address. Later, and a
short time prior to his assassin alton. he
was present at Gen. Wright's headquar-
ters in front of Petersburg for two days
and Mr.. Cheney saw him many times
during bis stay there.
