Engine company of this city are being
given the moral support of trade
unionists in various localities who are
calling attention to their municipal
officers of the refusal Of the company
to increase wages.
The strikers asked for an increase
of rs cents day and time and one
half for overtime. The rate prevail
ing in other factories, doing similar
work is much higher than the scale at
the La France company. Every eff
fort was made by the men and repre-
sentatives of the international Asso-
citation of Machinists to adjust differ
ences. The state labor department
also failed in its concilliatory efforts.
The company gave the men no oppor-
tunity for compromise and as a result
about 10 machinists and seven boiler
makers walked out on May S. The
company manufacturers FIRE apparatus

The final conflict of the two over

Twice in recent weeks has Miss Mol
la Bjurstedt OF Christiania, Norway,
won tennis championships from some
of the best women players in this coun-
try. First she won the national indoor
tennis championship from Miss Marie
Wagner, who had held the champion
ship for several years. This match
was played in New York city. Next
she captured the women,s metropolitan
singles In straight sets from Mrs. Bar
ger allach, former national champion.
For ten years Miss Bjurstedt was un-
disputed woman singles champion in
Norway, doubles champion with her
sister, Miss valborg Bjurstedt, and
third for world championship at the
Olympic games. BY profession Miss
Bjurstedt is nurse, and she came to
this country last December. She has
lived an outdoor life since childhood,
and tennis has been her hobby for the
past twelve years 1t only took her
two years to achieve the highest hon
ors in her native land. Miss Bjurstedt
has great strength and stamina and
will endeavor to win every tennis hon
or that the United States has to offer.

the world over. Till Count Leo Toll
stoi created this wonderful character
there had never been such a revelation
of the complex workings of a mod
ern woman's soul. Anna KareninS
ranks far in advance of Ibsen's Nora
or Heda Gabler. as an exotic hero
inc of the ultra modern type. She has
been the text of countless essays,
sermons and speeches and contro-
versy has ragged holly about the story
of the woman who dared"
In some quarters Anna has been
held up as the prototype of the misun-
derstood woman, in others she has
been hotly assailed as modern Mag
dalen. At any rate, whatever angle
her character is viewed from. it is one
full of such strange complexities that
it must give the iightest of thinkers
pause for deep consideration. Ger
tainly it is not character to be dismiss
ed lightly.

MAY DAM STREAM
At DEVILS LAKE
Efforts Being Made to Pre-
vent Diverting of Flow
age of Water.

It is understood that the Chicago &
Northwestern railroad company desires
to dam up Draper creek at the point
where it flows beneath the tracks at the
north end of Devils Lake andhelps to iced
the waters of the lake. The objection TO
the stream passing beneath the tracks
arises from the thawing and freezing OF
i the water causing, it is said, raising OF
the culvert supporting the rails. This
creek has been helping to maintain the
depth of water in Devils Lake for near
ly twenty years and was dug by John
Inmann and for time called Inmann's
canal.
E. G. Marriott and others interested
in the conserving of all the water posi-
bile for the lake are using their effort
to prevent the diverting of the creek 8
