Gotham Strike Now
Looks Less Serious

New York, Sept. 27.-The general
strike of the labor unions in sym
pathy with the striking streetcar men.
is supposed to be effective today, and
although the labor leaders claimed
some 250,0O0 workers responded to
the call, there is little evidence that
!. strike is in progress. Private can
vassers reported at least % unions
failed to respond to the strike call.
The only report received at police
headquarters was that 250 members
Of the painters union failed to report
for work. Attempts to estimate the
number of strikers, is complicated
somewhat by the fact that thousand
of Jewish workers will remain idle
over Thursday and Friday in celebra
tion of the beginning of the Jewish
new year.
Figures given out at meeting Of
of the labor unions,
showed union workers to the number
of 125,O00 went on strike today in
sympathy with the street car men.

New Suburban Tracts
From Field Homestead

About 20 years ago Gene Field filed
on 100 acres of land less than four
blocks from the North end of Main
street. He lived on this land from
that time until about seven years ago
when the Williston Experimental
farm was to be located. In order to
secure the present location of the
Experimental farm which is an ideal
one the Williston Land Company pur-.
chased the whole of the Gene Field
Farm and large part Of it was turn
ed over to the state. Sixty acres re-
mained of the farm and this passed
into other hands. J. w. Jackson and
w. B. Overson have made arrange
ments with the present owner to
divide the tract into and 10 acre
tracts and put them on the market.
Lying so close to the city limits It
will be possible for purchasers to ar
range for water, electric lights and
sewer connections so that modern
conveniences may be afforded them.
AS the tract is very level rich land.
the operation of the irrigation project
would mean that lawns, trees, shrub
berry, flowers and gardens could be
watered at minimum expenditure of
time and money. The possibility Of
making these suburban homes beauti-
full and attractive is very apparent,
while the practicability of making the
land support family by intensive
cultivation is attractive as an invest
ment, to say nothing about the in
crease in value that will come to them
as the city grows. Erick Rather has
recently completed beautiful resi-
dence on a tract just west of these
plots.

SOUTH SIDE PARK
SITE CONSIDERED
MAKES TOUR OF
INSPECTION-CIV CELE-
BRATION ASSURED

Representatives of the Commercial
club, the Community center league
and the local papers made tour OF
investigation Tuesday over the ground
south of the river that is being con-
sidered in connection with plans for
a park or game preserve. The party,
which consisted of ten people, spent
several hours in a survey of the land
between the Pontoon bridge and the
bluffs. The trip was made up onto
the bluffs over the Indian Hill road
and back by the Gasolene Hill road.
The view from the edge of the bluffs
afforded an accurate idea of the lay
of the ground
Great Possibilities
At the bridge the party was join
ed by Mr.. Calderwood of the Bridge
company and Capt. Bailey who owns
considerable ground Immediately
south of the bridge. Various features
of the proposition were inquired into,
particularly the ownership Of the diff
ferent tracts, the possibility of gain
ing title and the extent to which the
land is flooded in times Of extreme
high water. The land now belongs to
two or three private owners beside
Capt. Bailey and to the state, Whlch
holds section Of school land. About
1000 acres are probably available.
The general opinion is that the land
offers great possibilities as park
site and federal game preserve. At
a special meeting Of the Commercial
club directors held Wednesday even
ing, the committee made it's report
and tentative plans for taking up the
work of making a park were infor-
many discussed. Nothing definite.
could be done, but there appears to
be enthusiastic sentiment in favor of
the enterprise. Captain Bailey an
peared before the directors and made
certain conditional offers concerning
his land. While no action was taken
it is believed by those present that the
park plan should receive earnest con-

 oil of Quebec.

Alcohol is a poison whose awful property 1t is to attack at the same time both soul and body. of which 1t paralyzes every energy and dries up every life spring. The gross, insati- able and abnormal appetite that 1t de- velops in the senses is one of the most degrading and the most hopeless pas- sions known to men.
 Almost everywhere the civil au- thorities have given their weighty CO., operation and have devoted themsel- yes il a truly Christian spirit to the checking of this plague. It has, above all, been realized that the evil should be attacked at it's source, namely, that the traffic in intoxicating liquor, should be suppressed"

Speaking in far away places the Prohibition boosters hold out Kansas as bright and shin ing light to lure those unaffected by Prohibition into the norass. Where did Prohibition ever close the sohools?" asks the Prohibitionists. It is money which makes better schools possible. and as the rsvsnus of a,y camp is shortened SO is the school money shortened---let the official re- ports from State and Government sources, which are reliable and trust- worthy, tell the story of Kansas, in opposition to the Prohibition stories which are not backed up by any book page and paragraph:

Archbishop Bruchesi, Montreal.
 It is easier to refrain from signing petition for renewal than to petition to have & license revoked. Before signing think of your own homes. of your own boys and girls. Would you want them to meet the same fate thai has befallen others? Before signing weigh well the responsibility of your net. Don't close your eyes to the evils of the saloon and sign out of the weakness of human respect. Do you want, in certain measure, to be- come a partaker in the awful evils that surround certain barrooms? Be conscientious: be firm. No weak kneed concessions. Think of your well fare and the welfare of your little ones. and you will not sign any peti- tioa that might bring to your home or the home of your neighbor the blight of innocence. and which would open the road to shame and remorse
