Unions.

Chicago, March 2S.-The U. s. Rail

peals for increasing wages filed with it

Short lines which accepted for their
men the terms of the 5000, ,OOO, 900 wage
award of last July will not be privileged

days action, however, the announce
ment of the board saying:
This decision shall not be considered
as affecting any wage increase now in
effect nor any agreement regarding
wages between any of the carriers and
their employees
1000 Men Affected.
The board decision affects approx
mately 1900 employees. The railroads
involved are in general remote from
large cities and provide service for
small, communities located in nearly
every state. Because of the varying
kinds of work performed by the en-
ployes the board declared it found it
''impracticable TO decide on the evil
dence submitted what are reasonable
wages for the varying work under in
finitely varying conditions"
Representatives of 15 employees or
ganizations are among the 1000 men
affected by the decision.
103 Roads Implicated.
Disputes were originally certified to
the board on the part of employees be-
longing to one or more of the 10 unions
on 103 railroads. Ten of these roads.
however, were electric lines and the
board ruled these out. Twenty-six
other lines adopted the wage schedules
paid by the trunk lines, laid down in
what is known as decision No. 2.
Following the application of decision
No. 2 employees on roads not affected
began to file disputes with the board
and the whole matter was taken up in
a hearing known as the short line hear
ing. n. t
The short lines are not parties to the
present rules and working conditions
hearings and in event they do not ac-
cept the boards decision on rules a
separate hearing on rules for short lines
also will be necessary.

and cut up at each feeding. When the
feeding begins the little bundles OF
fur come waddling in from all direc-
lions and swarm about Mr.. Harper,
and as each receives his chunk OF
fish, he waddles away into the brus b
to eat it. Mr.. Harper plans to pro-
duce furs as nearly all black as pos
sible and most OF his animals have
white only on the tips of their tails,
and as top not, on the backs Of the
necks. He is looking forward to more
scientific breeding, and has already
procured wire netting to build separ-
ate pens. To proved reserve OF
food Mr.. Harper has built tow ponds
on the shore and in them he keeps
hundreds of fish to use during the
winter otherwise he catches the food
for his animals from the lake daily.
When it is impossible to get fish from
the lake, as has been true some of the
time, during the winter, he feeds the
meat of old horses and other animals.
Mr. Harper is an extremely versa
tile and busy man on his island. He
has his own house to keep up, and his
skunks to provide food for, and to
care for and besides he keeps large
flock of chickens and tills the fertile
shore lands and gullies to raise pro-
duce corn, beans. tomatoes, melons,
and grains are grown. He has planted

AS my write up is of a miscellain-

you of prosperous skunk farmer

the island, like so many little chubby
cats, the tips of their long, bushy
tails dragging on the ground behind,
and their noses close to the ground
in front, are scores of little bundles
OF fur, and 1t is only by their shapes,
that they divulge that they really
are skunks. The island and farm
belong to Grant Harper, who came
there from Lewiston, Idaho, six years
ago and entered a homestead claim.
a fur farm on the island and began
looking around for foundation stock.
He purchased sixteen of the best
skunks he could obtain. paying as
high as twenty dollars each, for some
OF them. He has cared for them win
ter and summer, and helped them build
burrows and shelter, until they have
increased SO that he now has on hand
four hundred and fifty head. They
roam the island at will, picking up
bugs and thorn apples, and pursuing
specific industrial life. They are
polygamistic and the male gathers as
many females as he can attract and
lives with them in his own burrow.
The females bear one litter of from
six to fifteen young each year. Aside

tribe has become more or less civilized
