Several of our readers were
misled by our item two weeks
ago with reference to the meet
ing of market gardeners in the
Charles Building. We got the
impression that these meetings
were held at 2 o'clock and so
stated. In the next issue we
corrected it. Those living on
the Golden rural did not get the
paper in time to read it and as a
consequence went down in the
afternoon. Naturally they blam-
ed Brother Wertman when we
were to blame. We apologize
and will say that the cigars are
on US. However, the boys had
a nice little frolic away from
home and no serious duties to
perform so they will not jump
on US too hard we hope.

'The white slavers were attracted
by the mass of jobless girls and soon

missioner of Public Works worked

arrest any man caught speaking to
the girls.
'The strike was settled in a week.

the day it was settled and my girls
came into the church, was touched
deeply by the expressions of love

Mentally compared Mrs. Bloor,
who is a grandmother, and who is so
sweet and gentle when she is talking
to one, with the woman who stood in
front of Henrici's for three days
with a hard stare in her eyes and a
grim set to her jaw, fighting against
those girl pickets and apparently en-
joying the battle.
And l wondered if Mrs. Bloor was
not right in saying that the woman
who fights with capital against work.
ing women is disgrace not only to
her class, but to her sex.

Walla Walla, Wash, April 3d.
George Drumheller, we'll known horse
breeder and cattleman of this city,
today received the following message,
from Captain H. P Howard, who is
stationed at Laredo Texas:
"In case of war I want a regiment
OF volunteer cavalry from Washington
Montana and Idaho, the men to fur
nish the horses, the government to
pay for them later. Can you help me
at Walla Walla? Sixty-five men and
horses are needed for troop. Name
their own officers, subject to the ap-
proval of the president.
III. P. HOWARD, Captain"
The following answer was sent:
"Can furnish men and horses as per
your wire on one days notice." Upon
publication of the telegram, Mr..
Drumheller was swamped with appE-
cations and it is believed five troops
can be recruited here.

Our School House.

The six thousand dollars in bonds
have all been negotiated and the next
thing is to decide on the character
and dimensions of the building. On
this point there seems to be a differ
ence of opinion, some being in favor
OF commencing building of large d.
mansions and completing it as far as
the $4,000 will go and then asking for
a further appropriation to complete
it, while others favor putting up such
a building as can be completed for
$4,000. We believe with the latter
class that building large enough to
meet the wants of the district for sew
eral years to come can be put I'D for
$4,000. 1t would be much better to
put up a building within the means
provided which is all that is needed
now, and leave it in such a shape that
should occasion require it, an addition
can be built to it. When a larger
building is needed there will be more
taxpayers to build it. We understand
a petition is being circulated asking
the Board to confine themselves to
the $4,000 in their estimate for a
school house.

the lot, contained 33s grains, and
there were fifteen stalks growing
from one grain. This is about as it
runs all through. The stalks are so
large and strong that the squirrels
climb up on them to get at the grain
in the heads. The straw will probably
be very large and stiff, but we sug-
gest that it be made useful as fuel.

one with fall of thirty feet and is in

great convenience to the settlers, and
will enable them to put up comforta-
