Wages of Camp Laborers Cut.

A general reduction of $40 and S25
per month in wages of the camp la
borers and loggers was announced on
Monday by the Scott & Howe Lumber
company Of this city. The new scale
OF wages is operative Immediately
and affects about $50 men who are
employed III the camps of the com
pany.
Under the revised wage measure.
employees in all the camps will be cut
from $50 and SIS per month to $50
and sos per month. Under the scale of
wages in all lumber camps, board and
lodging is included in the monthly
wage of each employee
Little difficulty has been experien-
ced in getting men at the new scale of
wages, said one of the officials of the
company this week. Few men left,
when the new order was announced,
but their places were readily filled by
others who were seeking Jobs in the
woods.
Practically all other lumber com
Panies of this section made public re-
auctions in camp wages at the sams
time as the local concern. 1t was un-
derstood that should the men Ia the
woods refuse to work at the new
wages, that all timber operations for
the year would have been suspended
pending willingness of the men to
labor at the lower compensation.
The Scott 4 Howe people will op-
crate three or four camps in Carey
township and IN the vicinity of Lay
mans Creek in Iron county. as well
as will have number of independent
contractors at work north of Iron
wood, 1t is expected that twelve mil
lion feet of timber will be cut this
year.
Tractors will be used to haul the
logs from north of IronWood to the
mill, while the company railroad,
which has been undergoing extensive
repairs during the past three months,
will be used TO haul the logs from the
camps south aud west of the mill

Much has been said of late regard
ing the ACCESSIBILITY and necessity of
entirely freeing American industry
OF foreign domination. The problem
of gaining control OF the sources of
raw products used ia the more extern
siye manufacturing Industries is of
the most vital Importance in this con
necti0n
The United States is fortunate in
having within it's boundaries a great
percentage Of all the requirements of
IT'S people, not only as regards food
clothing and fuel, but the raw products
used ia industry as we'll This was
brought out most strikiugly by the
late war. one of the most valuable
lessons OF the conflict was the speed
with which American Industry sue
creded IN getting into production on
large scale on dyes and certain other
chemicals formerly supplied TO the
world by Germany when this supply
was cnt OH by the blockade of Ger
man ports. This would not have been
possible, however, had not this coun-
try been able to supply the raw pro-
ducts required in the process of man
utacturinR such materials.
Since necessity has shown us that
we can free ourselves from foreign
domination, we should follow her

Stronoest Animal.

One of the rare specimens of animals to be seen at the American Museum of Natural History is the hero shrew, a new sort of forest creature and among the strongest animals known.
 Its skin and skeleton were brought back to this country by the Lang Chaplain expedition, who spent six years in the forests of Africa gather ing the most extensive and representa- tive selections ever taken out of the country.
 In the vast Ituri forest, in the Bel- gian Congo, where the sun rarely pierces through the dense foliage and rain pools stand for months in the foot tracks of the elephants, the 'hero shrew'' was found. It is variant of the common shrew, which is widely distributed over the earth, being found in the Arctic circle, Asia, Europe, Aus tralia, England and the Americas.
 The hero shrew, however, is known from only two localities, both in the Belgian Congo. These are the villages
