Sunday, August 10 and 20, and the
event will be on a more pretentious
scale than ever before 1t will not
only be a demonstration this year in
honor of labor, but it win embody also
the formal ceremonies in connection
with the construction of the great
smelling and refining plant that is be-

pany at Kellogg. The Industrial union
has become one of the fixed institu-
tions of the Twin Cities. 1t differs
from other labor organizations in that
it is not affiliated with any general
organization. 1t is strictly a local
body and is based upon the theory
that all questions involving the welfare
of its members can best be handled by
direct dealing with their employers
and without the intervention of paid
officials of general organization who

with local questions as satisfactorily as
men on the ground and who are per-
sonally concerned in the settlement of
the questions at issue. The success
which has attended the Industrial
union is the best evidence that the
theory upon which it is based is sound.
While it could hardly be contended
that there are not advantages in a
general organization with local
branches under it's jurisdiction, it is
still true that the proof of the pudding
is in the eating. Time has proved
the value of the Industrial union, and
there has never been any disposition
among it's membership to surrender it's
independent position by affiliation with
the larger and more ambitious organi-
cations
All Citizens Join In Festivities.
While the annual celebrations by
the Industrial union are handled ex-
clusively by its members, it is never
theless an event in which all citizens
participate Nor is participation linn
tied to Wardner and Kellogg, for in
deed it has become district celebra-
tion to which the people flock from
all parts of the Occur d'Alenes. A
cordial welcome is extended to all, and
a program is always rendered which
insures a day of real pleasure to all
who attend. This year preparations
are being made on a more extensive
scale than ever before which Is GER

Smelter Celebration.
The most important event of the
big celebration will be the dedication
of the great smelling and refining
plant, work upon which is now well
under way. This promises to attract
many visitors from outside the dis
trict for there is no doubt that es-
tablishment of this million dollar plant
at Kellogg marks the beginning of a
new era in the development of the
mining industry In Idaho. Visitors
from south and central Idaho are ex-
pected to be present and special rate
on the railroads has been made from
Spokane and other points in the north l.
west, which will result in attracting
many visitors. After the ceremonies
at the smelter grounds and viewing
the work already accomplished, the
great concentrating mills will be in
spected and visitors will be given an
opportunity to enter the Bunker Hill
& Sullivan mine, involving a trolly
ride two miles underground and an
inspection of the vast chambers and
marvellous equipment necessary in the
operation of the greatest lead mine
in the world This will be a rare treat
for those unfamiliar with mining
methods and full of interest to those
who are accustomed to go under
