WORTH TO REBUILD
WRECKED MUSEUM

Edward M. Worth, owner of the
Springport museum, which was RACED
by FIRE early last Wednesday morning,
has announced that he will rebuild the
north and south wings of the building.
The museum has for years been a
mecca for Richmond people who are
accustomed to making short evening
or Sunday afternoon automobile trips.
Mr. Worth will place in the rebuilt
museum, a number of relics which at
the time of the fire he had placed
in store house and a special lecture
case and coins which he was able to
save from the flames.

pumping station, will do the switching
with new automatic devices.
The old yard, with capacity of 725
cars from its one hump" will be kept
in operation while four yards are un
der construction. another hump is be-
ing built. and grades are being changed
which will eliminate the use of engines
by distributing cars by gravity.
Cuts Down Hills.
Although the railroad engineering
corps considers that it has just brush.
ed away the edges" the right-of-way
from Nineteenth street east and the
territory north and south bears no re-
semblance to it's natural appearance
Even the hills have been shaved where
deep cuts are planned.
The Improvement Is entirely for
freight handling facilities. The only
advantage to passenger trains is the
fact that no freight trains will ven.
ture on their two running tracks inside
the yards limit and there will be nc
delays to them.
Use Electric Lights.
Pickering smoking lamps and Ian
terms will be relegated to be replaced
by an electric light system. Incident
ais of the improvement are new yard
offices, new car repair buildings and
sheds. new water softener system as
big as the present one.
The car repair facilities are being In
creased so per cent and moved to a
point northeast of the old circus
grounds. The northern end of the val
ley from Glen Miller to Hawkins pond
will be sealed by big dirt fill and the
creek and proposed boulevard road
way will be bridged by "A foot arch,
10 feet wide.
The extension Of the old culvert
north 270 feet, still will leave big
hole north of the new track system
which will be filled gradually until the
entire valley is eaten up or bridged
over.
The biggest bridge will be the Is
foot arch under which runs a creek
draining the back part of Glen Miller.
Work on this has started. The creek
is no longer in its bed, but shoots
through an artificial bed like a sluice
way or irrigation ditch.

RICHMOND WILL

of the big canvassing organization
that believes failure will come in the
campaign.
If the fund were only $50 short of
100000, every worker, every citizen,
in fact, would believe that Richmond
had failed in a great crisis, for this
is indeed crisis 1t means progress
or stagnation for the city.
Every worker believes that some
how the rest of the money will be
raised. Hundreds of men in business
or with property interests have not
as yet given. Many have given far
less than what is termed just pro-
portion. From these classes, and
from the great mass Of salaried per-
sons, and even from those who have
given more than their proportion, the
remaining $4,000 will come, according
to the workers.
Hundreds VIII Assist.
There are hundreds of persons
working on salary or wages that have
never been solicited. Reports have
come from many sources that these
men want to help. They have the
same spirit to see Richmond forge
ahead as the merchant, the manufac-
turer, or the capitalist, and they want
to do their part.
Then dollars from many of these
men is just as much hardship as
500, $1,000, or $4,000 from others.
The employees of several large con-
Germs have already started an organ
iZation among themselves to raise a
fund to subscribe toward the 100000"

BAvIS LEADS SHOP men
IN new FACTORY APPEAL

Alfred Bavis, for several years a
local factory worker until he received
appointment as president Of the board
OF public works, today expressed an
opinion that it would be only fair to
ask the several hundred Richmond
shop employees to assist in raising the
100000 factory fund.
This Industrial development pro-
ject must be thoroughly cooperative
in its nature if it is to be completely
successful" Bavis said. II believe
the big majority of the shop workers
would be pleased to assist, in mod
est way, in financing this project
which will be such a direct benefit to
them.
Would Offer Help.
II believe our shop workers, as a
whole, would be willing to contribute,
on the average, at least $40 to this
fund, to be paid in small amounts on
monthly basis-say so cents a
month.
You can take it from me that your
shop workers is not slow to see what
a benefit more local manufacturing
concerns will be to him. His oppor-
tunities would be increased threefold
if twenty more factories are located
in this city. AS wages, very largely,
depend upon and are governed by the
law of supply and demand whatever is
done to increase such demand will,
necessarily, affect the standard of
wages.
Bavis Suggests Plans.

FIRE DESTROYS BARN
NEAR new MADISON

NEW MADISON, O., Sept. 2S.-Fire
destroyed the barn on the j. F. Weis.
enborn farm. two and one-half miles
southwest of town in the Yankeetown
neighborhood, at noon today. c. j.
Allread occupied the place as tenant
and lost two valuable horses, two
hogs, lot of hay and other feed, and
practically all of his farm implements.
The origin of the fire is unknown
and is somewhat Of mystery. Mrs.
Allread and two small children were
at home alone and when the alarm
was spread neighbors gathered, but
the fire had gained so much Roadway
that nothing could be saved
Mr.. Weisenborn carried $500 in
surance on the building, but Mr.. All
read. the tenant, suffers a total loss.

gest that plans be drafted for solicit
ing factory workers for voluntary con-
tributions to the factory fund, it be-
ing made perfectly plain that any man
who feels he cannot afford to make
such contribution can refuse to par
ticipate in the movement without the
least embarrassment to himself.
1t was learned today that number
of employees Of the Richmond Casket
company have anticipated the plan
proposed by Bavis. These shopmen
have each contributed $40 to the fac
tory fund, having arranged with the
factory management to deduct % cents
a week from their wages until each
man has paid in the entire amount of
his contribution.

"cLo Sc THE BUNG HOLES"

Mt. Rainier. Md-The Mt Rainier
Times gives this advice to railroad
managers, who are now conducting
an advertising campaign against the
eight-hour demand of freight train
sevice employees:
The railroads lay great stress on
the amount of money necessary to es-
tablish shorter work day, cost
that mtst be placed on the shoulders
OF the American people. We suggest
that the railroads end some of their
many practices not countenanced by
law. l eight hours for the freight
train service men means an additional
cost to the public, we know of one
bung hole that could be closed, the
free handling of private cars. Tables
prepared by the interstate commerce
commission shows that the revenue
from private cars handled free during
the year 1913 on only SO roads would,
at tariff rates, amount to $644,25079.

During the period OF l900-1910 ten
western railroads alone issued new
stock for $3.50 s84.o61 less than its
market value This means that this
enormous amount was practically Civ

STOCKHOLDERS
at has not been denied that freight
train workers are hauling longer
trains than ever before. The rate per
ton per mile has decreased, and we
suggeat that if the railroads financial
policy was conducted along as rigid
and as economical lines as it handles
its freight trains, these employees
could easily be given an eight-hour
day which is supported by every hui
manitarian impulse"

There is public discussion OF the
fact that T. c. Coffin, the attorney
who successfully conducted the case
against the security company on the
Allen bond filed lien on the money
received in the sum of Sl2,5 500 claimed
as attorneys fees Governor Alexand-
or has publicly announced that he
would not vote to pay dollar OF such
fee and that Mr. Coffin must look for
remuneration to the Attorney-Gener-
ais office solely Mr. Coffin has re-
leased the lien and stated he would
accept no fee excepting what should
be voted him by the unanimous action
of the State board Governor Alex
ander's action puts an end to any fee
being paid by the order OF the board.
The facts are that Mr. Coffin was Civ
en- control of the case as an Assistant
Acknowledgement, but resigned that
office and retained charge of the case,
which he conducted with skill and en-
ergy He claims that he thought his
appointment to control the case was
concurred in by the board, but If such
were the case it would have been the
more ordinary proceeding for him to
have filed his claim with the board
instead of as a lien. Certainly Mr.
Coffin is entitled to some pay for his
work, but it would seem that he
should have continued in his official
position and handled the case or else
left the case when he retired from the
position

LABOR DAY

Labor Day has taken its place as
one of the greatest holidays OF Amer
lea ranking only next to the 4th of
July and Memorial Day. People
from every walk in life unite in the
celebration of Labor Day and il is
annually looked forward to with ever
increasing interest Public speakers
of the highest class now take this oc-
casion to give expression to their
views upon economic questions. with
the result that the Day is one of
educational value.
In Boise Labor Day will be celc-
brated as is customary under the aus
pieces of the Trades and Labor Coun-
Gil, who have every year made the
celebration larger and more enthusiasts
tic than the preceding year-and this
good year of 1915 should be no ex-
ception.
The Labor Press is generally re-
membcred on Labor Day and we note
that number of our exchanges re-
port the Day has been set aside as a
special day for boosting the local
labor paper. This is a good move
ment as the loyal labor press has be
come the most powerful agency in the
upbuilding Of the union cause. The

any activity in its behalf upon this
occasion
