From just a logger. l have
worked in these woods for many
years and worked IL and Is hours
a day.
Get up in the morning and get
your breakfast and be mile out
in the woods when 6 o'clock
comes, work till six and then walk
in on your own time.
That is very nice, and handle
these big chokers, 80 feet long, all
day on rough ground.
A logger is human being just
the same as any of you.
You don't see these mill owners
nor these logging operators do
hat, or these bankers, either.

Timely and True
EDITOR THE TINES:

EDITOR The Times.
Your recent editorial eutitled
"Revolution--or Justice?" is time
ly and true. None is so blind as
he who will not see.
An engineer of an outside saw
mill told the writer he knew of no
one around his mill getting less
than 1926 a day. If 1000 tide
flats workers are being paid so
cents day less than is being paid
for the same work outside the city,
is that justice, or is 1t the penalty
they pay for daily choosing Taco
ma as their home city?
Oh, yes, they pay a bonus. Ask
the men what they think Of the
bonus business. Taylor, the orig
inator of the efficiency system,
said: Had l known to what use
my system would be put, I never
would have advocated It,"
A. e. B. speaks of the men
shifting from place to place. Yes,
they do shift, and take a much
needed rest in between, as the
pace has become too fast.
An experienced planerman told
the writer recently: when | be-
gan my line Of work, our machine
had a speed of about 80 feet min
ute. Now they run ESQ and 500
feet a minute, and man at each
end as before" This speeding up
applies to all machines and opera
tions nearly.
why did you quit your last
job ?" / asked the planerman.

10 timber into the machine with

They get up and get their break
fast when the sun Is good and
high, just because they have had
things their own way.
But the laboring man is getting
tired of all this. He wants his
rest, just the same as all of these
big guys riding in big machines,
while we are paying the bill. A
logger has got the hardest kind OF
work. His clothes cost him just
as much as anybody's else.
Do you people know what it
costs to dress a logger? 1t costs
just twice as much as 1t did three
years ago.
And what about board? 1t has
gone way up.
And what about the wages?
They have gone up 25 or so cents
a day. Some of these guys like
Mr.. Grannis of Seattle said they
could not give us the eight-hour
day. They said they were not CIV
ing the eight-hour day just for
principle.
| don't see any principle in a
big corporation trying to take from
the working man his privileges
and he is one of those guys that
get his breakfast when the sun
Is good and high.
would like to take Mr.. Gran
mis- out and drill him on some
hill side on these big chokers. l
am a hookunder myself, and I'll
bet when night comes he would
squat for the eight-hour day, too.
The logger is just as good as he is.
He wants his breakfast when the
sun Is high, too.

MISTAKE

Grace Johnston, the city health
inspectress, recommends the
Broadway Fish & Oyster Co. and
the Broadway Butter Store, locat-
ed in the Broadway Public Mar

sanitary. These are branch stores
of the National Fish Co.
The case against M. A. Ham

Co., keeping above places unclean
and unsanitary, were dismissed,
being entirely mistake on the

WASHINGTON, July 31.-Drys

won't. That was the situation to-
day in the prohibition fight when
debate was resumed in the senate.
The senate has agreed to vote on
the constitutional amendment to-
morrow.
House leaders on both sides are
preparing for big fight If tha
senate passes the amendment.

BUY A BOND WITH VACATION MONEY

INSTEAD of spending S200 trip to the coast this
 summer why not put that amount of money in LlbeT A ty bond? Arrange to spend couple of weeks high up in the Walapais away from the noise and dust The government needs that $200 and you need the rest and recreation you would get from two weeks spent in the mountains. Decide to buy that Liberty bond
 The government of the United States has two meth ods of raising money One is by taxation The other by the sale of bonds which is method of borrowing money.
 The government bond is the printed promise of the government to pay back the borrowed of money at
 certain tme and to pay interest on it at regular in tervals until it is repaid.
 The government borrows money in this way only af- has been given the right to do by act of congress approved by the president and the terms of the loan are set out in the act.
 Back of the promise of the government stands the honor of the government and all its taxing resources. Really the whole wealth of the nation stands behind this solemn promise of the government to pay
 This makes United States government bond the saf- est investment in the world. If the bond of the United States government is not Safe property in the United States safe If the United States not pay its bonds it is hardly probable that will be able protect citizens in their other rights.
 The Liberty loan bonds of 1917 especially attrac- tive investments Not only have they this absolute safety characteristic of all United States bonds but they tax free not only from all existing taxes but from any tax that may subsequently, be levied No state city, county may tax them The inheritance tax of the United States and of states may affect he rather af feet their transfer after death of the by will by inheritance
 Another advantage these Liberty loan bonds possess that if the government issues bonds later during this war higher of interest the holders of Liberty loan bonds will be aowedo exchange at par their bonds for bonds bearing the higher rate of interest.

RICH WULFENITE ORE FOUND IN THE CROW
 CANYON MINE REGION

O. T. Flynn arrived in Kingman yesterday with 800 pounds of rich wul- fenite ore, which he took from a vein recently discovered in the Crow Can yon section, Cedar Valley mining dis trict. The owners with MT. Flynn in the property are Martin Hamilton and Bryant Pollard.
 Mir. Flynn stated to the Daily Miner representative that the vein was about IS inches wide and carried values along several hundred feet of the out crop. Other veins contiguous to the main property also show good molyb- date values.
 In the Crow Canyon country there are many veins carrying molybdenum ores, among which are the properties of James Fowler and Frank Mill. These calims were discovered more than a year ago, and considerable work was done on them.
 Wulfenite is one of the easiest han dled of the molybdenum group, the molybdate crystals responding readily to concentration. By a process recent ly developed by the United States bu- reau of mines the lead is separated by an acid process, the lead being pre- cipitated as metallic lead and the molybdenum being then ready for melting into bars in the electric fur mace.
