cause was of slight Importance. The
teamsters had been caring for their
teams and got Sunday board free. 1t
is understood here that the company
put in stable man to do the work
and thereafter charged the teamsters
for their board on the same basis as
other men. Most of the teamsters
then quit and the l. w. w. IN camp
persuaded all the rest to quit, al
though most did not want to do so
and were moved by desire to avoid
trouble with the reds. Then the next
day the whole bunch wanted to go to
st. Maries and about 100 took possess
sion of the north bound Milwaukee
freight in charge of Conductor
Downey and rode it into St. Maries.
The railroad asked for protection and
the arrest of the marauders, but
County Attorney Holsclaw, of Bene-
wah county, who will be remembered
in Clearwater for his invertebracy,
declined to do anything on the ground
that it was no offense to take forcible
possession of train.
That same evening Elizabeth G.

who is one of the principal orators for

The following from the Elk River
Sentinel will give our readers some
idea of the real character of the l.
w. VS..
Now that spring is approaching the
1. w. w. campaign to close up or
prevent the opening of Inland mills
is beginning to take form. Its head
quarters in Spokane, with principal
branches at Sand Point and st. Mar
les, will concentrate all efforts on the
logging camps as they command the
situation; the mills cannot run with
out regular supply of raw material.
Further, the number of men available
for wood work is much decreased and
there is hope of good lumber market
when cars become plentiful again.
There is no reasonable chance that
they will be able to shut any mills
down for any length of time, but they
can undoubtedly cause much trouble
and delay. In some places they will
Surely cause loss of property in towns
and woods and there has never yet
been any l. w. w. trouble of any size
without at least one cold-blooded mur-
der. In Idaho and on the Sound there
are number of men wanted in north
ern Minnesota fol murder but of
whom descriptions are poor, and
others against whom direct evidence is
not available. These will form the
backbone of the movement.
The demands for which the l. w.
w. leaders are working are not
known, in fact they seem to be a
small consideration. There has beer
no gathering of lumberjacks to decide
on what to ask. The leaders simply
got up a list and are offering it to
the woodsmen as what they will gel
for them. The list announced last
fall included raise which the scare.
ity of men has already procured, bet
ter camp Accommodations. which are
being introduced under the resolutions
of the Lumbermen's Club passed las,

edly be promised by the l. w. w.,
but the real point of disagreement il
the demand that all men be hired by
the foreman at the camp, which
means little as few men go to camp
until they have job lined up. or a
hall of the |. W. w. through tht
local secretary of the order.
Under the circumstances this re
quirement alone would forever pre-
vent any agreement.
AS the order is not responsible,
union like the trades unions and it!
active members are not reliable, re
sponsible parties, no agreements cal
be made with them. The fact tina
it's local agitators or JOB delegates ;
are for the most part yeggs woul'
make any dealings with them wronl
morally as we'll as foolish.
Within the last week there hav
been several minor strikes that wer
fomented by the l. w. W.. and one o

This plan was proposed in an Elk
River camp last fall by "job del
egate" who boasted of having mis-
labeled cans and cases in a cannery,
crippled horses in feed stable,
dropped sour milk into fresh in a con-
densery, dropped acid on goods in
clo.hing stores and other things of
the kind.
In a logging camp |. w. w. plan
on doing as much harm and causing
as much loss as they can without be-
ing caught at it, and if they are
caught they do not particularly mind
80 or 80 days in Jail. A favorite
stunt is to hit steel rail with new
axe. Others are to break shovel
handles as fast as they get them. to
lose or hide tools, to fall trees SO that
they will break, and so on indefinite
ly. Just before Christmas at camp
on the Kootenai that was popular and
filled with well-satisfied men, one
''job delegate" was caught with tin
box full of cockroaches after he had
turned lot more loose in the cook
house and dining room. He acknow-
lodged having put piece of an old
lousy shirt in each bunk and also
that he had got dissatisfied funkey
to put calomel in the food. At con-
tract camp on the Yakima river above

lash of new cable that broke under
hard pull. On examination the
cable proved to have been partly cut
with an axe in three places. Later a
"job delegate" who boasted while
drunk in Seattle of having done the
work was being searched for when il
was found that he had joined the mob
that started to shoot up Everett anc
is now among the IA awaiting trial
for murder. He could not be con-
victed of cutting the cable as there
was no direct evidence.
Tramp l. w. w. often tell OF
mean little tricks on farms during
harvest, such as disabling threshers,
slashing the ends of bales of new
grain sacks and even of putting
matches in bundles of wheat.
When an attempt is made to fine
out why these men do such things
they say that it is wrong for any
man to make a profit and that the
best way to bring about the end of the
present system is to make it impos
sible for any private owner to con
duct any business except at loss

Illustrated Argument for Good Roads.

f. A. Schiiling has had one of the
best window displays we have seen in
Orefino. By the use of little artis-
tic ability he has illustrated the value
of good roads in a NEST impressive
manner, and caused lot of thinking
on the subject of Good Roads. >
The display shows a piece of dirt road
in the muddy season, with team
mired down with an empty wagon.
The road looks natural. 1t is made
of real mud and is no exaggeratior
of what actually confronts this county
several weeks every spring and fall.
This section is about two feet long,
and connects with a miniature model
of modern hard surfaced highway,
on which may be seen another team
hauling an immense load without ex-
ertion. The illustration hits the
mark, and is an argument that cannot
be downed.

Deputy u. S. Marshall Jas. Rice of
Lewiston dropped into Orofino Wednes-
day evening and Immediately arrested
Steve Weller on a charge of running
an Illicit still. 1t appears the gov
ernment has had one or two detectives
working in Orofno and uncovered q
booze factory, including the copper
worm. Two quarts of liquid hilarity
with kick like a Texas steer, were
found and confiscated. The officer
came in on the evening train and lost
no time in taking possession Of the
miniature distillery. which was being
conducted by Steve Weller and E. c.
Miller in the rear of the wooden
building between Odd Fellows Hall
and Atherton's blacksmith shop. Mil
ler had gone to Lewiston Wednesday
morning and was arrested when he
stepped from the train in Lewiston.
Deputy U. S. Marshall Rice took the
train back to Orofino and arrested
Weller few minutes after the officer
had taken possession Of the illicit
still. The officer found the still on
the stove in operation, and took the
outfit, together with Weller, to Lew
iston yesterday morning.
1t is penitentiary offense and
means Leavenworth prison or McNeiPs
Island, if convicted, and the govern
ment seems to have a cinch case.
A detective. or 'gum shoe man,
never bothers the fellow who is not
violating the law. Criminals ought
to be caught, and the wy to catch
them is to trap them. Some GRIM
inals feel insulted unless the author
tiles tell them when they are coming
SO they can have their house in shape
for company. Why not publish an
advance notice for bootleggers, horse
thieves, counterfeiters, smugglers and
other so there will be no chance to
catch law violator? For our part we
have little sympathy with people whs
prefer crime to honest business, and
bootleg or steal or murder from
choice. They know what the law is,
land are not entitled to any sympathy.
