Kenneth Ross in Statement
Announces A.C.M. Opening
Company, Says Declaration, Will Resume Operations at
Bonner With American Sympathizers Only.

Mindful. however, of the proposition
hereinabove referred to, that in time
of war the public is invested with an
interest in our business, and a right
to demand the ma xmum of production
on our part, any person taking a
serious interest in the working con-
ditions, hours Of labor, and wage scale
in force in our company will be at
forded every opportunity to investigate
to such extent as may please him,
at any point within our jurisdiction,
and we invite and urge such inspec-
ton and investigation.
THE lumber department of the Ana
conda Copper Mining company will
recommence operations in every line,
and at every point where we We're
operating on July /. and we expect to
carry on our operations. at least dur
ing the period of the war, successfully
and efficiently, with men who realize
the advantages Of preserving this gov
eminent and are sufficiently interested
therein to brook no further interfcr-
ence with their useful avocations by
conscious or unconscious agents of the
foreign power with which we are now
at war.
This statement is made in the be
lief that it is due to the public, and not
at all by way of apology. We feel that
we have met our full obligations to
the men and to the public in the past,
and that the wage scale, conditions
and hours of labor are fair and will
remain at the present level, as far as
we are now able to judge. If condi-
tons should impel changes, however,
we will always meet those conditions
in a. spirit of open mindedness and
fairness and with due regard to the
best interests of employer and em-
ploye."

EMPLOYEES OF ROAD
HAVE LOST THEIR JOBS
It's Claimed That They We're
Mixed Up In Box Car
Pilfering
rom Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
According to story which ap-
peared in the Tracy Headlight last
week the Chicago and Northwestern
company has discharged thirteen Of
its employees.
II is alleged that merchandise has
been disappearing from box cars in
the yards of Tracy, while it has been
going through the terminal, and that
this merchandise had been appropri-
ated to the use of the men who
took it.
A hint was dropped to the officials
few weeks ago by man who was
caught last winter that such sys-
TEN was being practiced here. An
investigation was ordered and man
sent here to look into the report.
The result of his finding was that
last Thursday and Friday thirteen Of
the men were dismissed from the
service.
Just how or when the practice be-
gan is not known. The men say in
defense that Tracy is credited with
shortages that have occurred at 9TH
er points. One man in explaining
stated that cars are opened at Man
kato to remove merchandise and
often some of those cars are not re-
sealed again. They are then sent
west, stopping at different towns
where merchandise can be removed
yet the loss is not noticed until the
car reaches the terminal here.

CONDITION OF CROPS
Weather and other Things Discussed
BY the Experts.

Weather and crop conditions in
the corn and wheat region for the
week ending August % are summed
up by the weather bureau as follows:
Rainfall, moderate to locally heavy,
occurred in many central corn states,
but mostly light elsewhere. The av-
erage temperature was much below
normal in the central states and the
lake region. The nights were unfay-
orably cool, with some frost in the
extreme north. Corn improved, how
ever, in nearly all sections, with I'M
usual recovery of the crop from early
drought damage in Kansas. On ac-
count of the cool week, large areas
will need favorable weather to ma
ture the crop before frost damage.
Harvesting and threshing of grains
progressed satisfactorily Flowing
for winter wheat is going on in most
districts, although the soil is too dry
in few places. Potatoes, truck
crops, gardens and pastures have i'm
proved where rain fell.

CURIO AT FIRE STATION
Imprint of Human Foot On Granite
Boulder; Interesting Relic.

Boulder; interesting Heilc.
S. S. Truax yesterday brought to
the central fire station from his farm
near Tracy a granite boulder of de-
cided interest to any student of pre-
historic times. On the boulder is the
imprint of human bare foot. The
foot is very wide in front and quite
square, the toes being on the same
front line. Evidently, that imprint
was not made by any civilized white
mans foot, or the little toe would
have been at some distance back of
the great toe. Rev. Father Hughes
saw the stone and thought the i'm
print must have been made by the
foot of some prehistoric human be-
ing. The stone was discovered on
the farm twenty five or thirty years
ago, but has been lying out near the
door all these years. Mr.. Truax left
the stone in the charge of Fireman
Ben Bangerter.
