Elk'S Memorial
Very Impressive

The lodge service of the Elks in
memory of their dead. held at the
First NJ. +. Church last Sunday after
noon at o. 30. was very interesting
ceremony and drew many witnesses
aside from the lodge membership OF
the city.
The ritual work for such occasion
was beautifully demonstrated by the
officers OF the lodge, whose members
met at their lodge room Immediately
before the service and marched TO the
church in body.
Following was the order OF service:
Parker's Orchestra Overture:
opening ceremonies by the lodge;
opening ode-"Auld Lang Syne,"
prayer, Chaplin Geo. Bruce; male
uuartet-"Nearer my God to Thee; -
orchestra selection; solo-"The Lord
is My Shepherd" Violin solo; Gen
eral Eulogy: orchestra selection;
Memorial address-Brother c. j..
Moynihan OF Montrose lodge; mixed
quartet: orchestra selection: bene-
diction. Rev. c. b. Steele.
The entire program was success
fully carried out and merited the full
amount of praise spectators bestowed.
The memorial address of c. J. Moyni-
han, while no more than was expect
ed from one of his oratorical ability,
more than pleased all present, and
this was backed by the especially well
rendered detail OF every part OF the
service.

Labor Strike
Declared Off

The greatest OF all the labor strikes
TO date. that covering the north and

Tuesday night. Following was the
language used:

international executive board: that all
strikers apply for their former posi-
tions in the mines on that day
The calling off of the strike, while
credited directly TO election results.
was doubtless the elimination of an
opportunity sought, or rather an ex-
cuse that was wanted. for calling it
off.
The time had come when the strike
leaders realized II would be no longer
smooth sailing, and the time had also
come when the several millions of
strike funds had had the opportunity
OF being handled. and the handlers
benefited to whatever extent may
have been the case.
II remains, however. that the strike
was lost; that II cost the miners
themselves the millions spent; that it
enforced their idleness; impoverished
their families and make them unpopu-
lar with their employers.
And that has been the history of
practically every strike so far sought
to have been engineered by labor
leaders who do not labor. and who
have attempted to unionize all labor.
We believe in organization, and in
strong ones, but they should be man
aged in their interest instead OF
against IL, and the more they strive
to keep off of war basis" the more
popular they will become and the
more they will accomplish.
Today the welfare of the striking
miners is worse than before the strike
begun. Those who were not law
breakers, will be given places as fast
as places can be made for them. but
Il is said that no satisfactory man

City Park Out
look Bri8htenS

The Young Mems Club Of this city,
under whose auspices the project OF
a city park was launched a week ago
as one OF its first Start Things"
ideas, met again Wednesday evening
and found that the germ had taken
root.
j. E. Hillman, always a Prince in
local advancement, offered as park
site eight acres-about three blocks.
in his addition in the southeast sec
tion of the city, fronting on Howard
street, as a donation for the purpose.
This location is regarded as very
desirable. because of accessibility and
the further fact that natural flows OF
water from Garnet mesa can be at
tached to supply all irrigation and to
fill artificial lakes.
A part of the plan will be TO build
a one-fourth mile track, to plat base
ball foot ball and tennis grounds. to
supply platform pavillions, erect
swings. grand stands. provide seats
for visitors and form boating and
skating lakes.
Naturally il will take time, money
and work. to do all this. but we un-
derstand there viii be no campaign
of passing the hat. It is hoped to
accomplish the improvement Of the
grounds gradually. by voluntary help
and from little funds raised by occa-
sional entertainments given for that
object.
Already much work has been vol
unteered by men with and without
teams. who have offered to help put
the grounds in shape. Mr.. Chase.
our nurseryman. has generously Of
fered to donate trees and shrubery
for future shade and decorating. and
II is possible that the city may take
up the matter of certain aid, II not
supervision.
one of the crying needs OF Delta
has been public park. where visitors
might go for rest and comfort. So
far the city has had no place of this
kind. The only place has been the
open street or the shops. we need

going to have one.

mated for a park benefit next Tues

STATE GAME WARDEN SAYS
DANGER IN SHOOTING
DUCKS AFTER DEG. 18th

State Game Commissioner, w. B.
Frazer. in letter to Senator George
Stephan of Delta. on the subject,
says: Uncle Sam has number of
forestry agents over the country who
are instructed to see that the federal
laws regarding the shooting of migra-
tory birds out of season are enforced.
and that it might go hard with those
who shoot ducks after December 10.
if caught by any of these agents"
Mr.. Fraser seems to think that the
session of the incoming legislature
will pass a measure concurring in the
government act.
The letter written by Senator Ste
phan was at the suggestion of some
of our local sportsmen, who. although
provided with state licenses seeming
to permit them TO shoot ducks as here
tofore. up to next March. had some
doubts about the legality of doing so
under the requirements of the federal
act.
