Men Returning to Work Following
Arrest OF Leaders,


Chicago-The nationwide railroad
strike apparently has collapsed.
Except In a few isolated sections.
railroad officials reported Sunday
night that the bulk of the men who
followed the leadership Of John Cru
nau OF Chicago had returned TO work.
Normal passenger service was vir-
tually restored, they said, while sub
stantial progress had been made In
moving the vast amount OF freight
that has been accommodating through
out the country, especially in The east,
during the past three weeks.
Many of the strikers went out with.
out presenting any grievances and
er announced that failure to receive
increases in wages granted to other
railroad men prompted their action
The strikers who acted In defiance Vt
their railroad brotherhood chiefs, have
generally returned without any defin-
ite promise of more pay.
In many cases, however, they have
been assured their demands will be
presented to President Wilson'S labor
board which Is empowered under the
federal transportation act TO settle
disputes between the railroads and
their men. The board is now sitting
IN Washington.
la Chicago, the original strike CEN

WORK OF PLANT INVENTOR
His Skill Produces Variations That
Mature Would Require Thousands
Of Years to Accomplish.

With a watch glass and = fine cam
el's-hair brush the plant inventor per-
forms miracles. He causes more
changes In six generations than Nature
unaided, would produce In 100000
years. Two plants may be growing
in his garden. native Of countries sep
arated by continents. Their struc-
tures, habits, hereditary tendencies
and Identities have been preserved
through thousands Of years. The
plant inventor takes the pollen from
one, transfers 1t to his watch glass,
carries 1t to the other, and frcn the
glass transforms It to the bloom. The
resultant seed IL sown. The new
plants may resemble one plant or the
other, or they may be like neither.
ties There are thousands OF dlsap-
pointnents for one success in the
work.
Luther Burbank chose one seeding
out Of 5000 when he invented the
primnsberry. The rest were remorse-
lessiy destroyed. The new primus-
berry is cross between the raspberry
and the blackberry. but has a fruit
much larger and finer than either. Mr..
Burbank has produced 100000 vari-
etles Of plums. 10000 peaches and nee
tarines, 500 almonds, 5000 walnuts,
5000 apples. 1900 grapes. 1900 pears
and thousands OF different kinds Of
berries, flowers and vegetables IN

Farmers Still Smile

The smile on the faces Of the far
mers is becoming deeper every day.
II II goes much deeper. II will never
in the world come on And the ress-
son back of the smile? Why, the
certain prospects for a glorious ir-
rigation season this year.
Wednesday night the water in the
reservoir measured so and l-2 feet.
An increase OF 3 feet over what
we reported last week This gain of
3 feet was made in s days.
While there Is plenty OF water for

drilling for artesian water Such an
investment would be conservative,
as the West Pearl Oil and Gas Com
pany has demonstrated that arte-
sian water can be secured.

vIPONT NOTES

Notwithstanding the fact that
this is Vipont's first winter, which is
always the hardest to endure, the
mine and mill are still working at
capacity and operating successfully.
Too much cannot be said for the
Oakley teamsters who are keeping
the plant supplied with fuel oil for
the engines. For the past month
road conditions have been almost
unbearable. but men like Lewis Sam
uelson, Bert Hale, Loyal Hale, Clar-
ence Sears, D. Stevens, Omar Baker,
Gearge Butler and Orson Bates have
plowed through the mud and snow
and delivered the goods.
Vipont is fortunate in having such
men as these to overcome the dis
couraging conditions which prevail
at this time Of year.
They've done their work we'll. and,
what's more, they're going to con-
tinue doing 1t and carry viDont
through its frst winter without
shutdown.

Fire Visits Oakley

The residence Of F. j. Lake, d
Main street, burned down about
noon yesterday. The blaze was dis
covered in time to save the house
hold goods. The building il reported
to have been a total loss. w. T..
Jack, theowner, had formerly had
the building insured for 100000.
but the insurance. il is reported, ran
out a day or two before the fire.
1t is thought that the fire origina-
ted in chimney. The blaze was
discovered by Mrs. Lake, who called
in help Mr. Lake was confined to
bed with rheumatism A number OF
volunteers did all in their power to
put out the fire, but 1t soon became
clear that the building was doomed.
Then they directed all their efforts
toward saving the furniture, and to-
ward preventing the adjoining hou-
ses from burning. All the furnish
ings OF the Lakes was saved with the
exception OF the carpets.
1t was thought for a while that
the fire would spread to Ray BOren 6
residence on the east, and all the
furniture was removed from this
house. The snowstorm which came
at this time assisted in checking the
flames
Tho reporter was requested by
Pres. Jack and Mr.. Boren to thank
those who so whole-heartedly assis-
ted in preventing the spread OF the
fire.
