timlzed.

A number OF foreign manufacturing
concerns have In the past few months,
by means OF house house eolicita-
ton. built up trade In Wilmington.
and although their products have been
proved to be OF an Inferior grade to
those offered In the average depart
ment store, they have apparently
found large market in the city.
These concerns have large sales
forces in Wilmington and the large
number OF orders which are taken en-
able the men to make substantial
salaries. One OF the chief foreign
products which have found large
market In Wilmington is a certain
brand of silk hosiery.
Practically every house In Whining
ton has been canvaesed and re-can-
vassed by the agents OF this concern
According TO purchasers OF the product
1t is OF inferior quality to that offered
In the average Wilmington store, and
Is much more expensive In Irice. BY
means OF demonstra tons which are
said to be tricky" many unwar,
housewives have been persuaded into
buying this grade OF hosiery in lots.

These are short-sishted policies. In
the long run they work to tho disad-
vantage OF labor. Still. they arc the
usual recourse Of labor whom II II met
by obstacles that do not yield.
Right here Ia tho problem Of the
employer Of tho next few years. How
shall he meet the new temper OF labor?
In my opinion that temper must be
met by open dealing. by setting be-
fore labor tho facts under which bust
ness Ia done and by admitting labor
progressively to a greater share In
management OF the elements OF the
industrial relation which. most direct
| ~ concerns labor. That II to say: the
time to develop personnel departments,
set up sharing. organize shop
committees and all OF the rest OF the
things that belong to this class Is. not
when labor Is In the saddle and holds
gun Mt the employers hend. but
when the employer himself is In the
saddle and is in the position to die
tate terms.
THE employer does not have TO take
this reasonable course, II he does not
want to. lie can use these next years
to pile UP trouble for himself and his
successors In days to come. n. how
ever. the employer IN wise. he will take
advantage Of his position to set up the
best kind OF machinery, with which
to defend himself and his industry
1t is not a question OF strikes In the
Immediate future. II will be a question
OF sabotage. Sabotage, however, Is
worse than strikes. II demands its owr

owner of such lands.
1t was not believed that sagebrush
land had any value until after 1864.
after A. j. Pettigrew raised the first
crop of alfalfa on the East Fork.
in 1866 H. F. Dangberg planted his
first crop of alfalfa, and it was not
until 1872 that alfalfa became in favor.
In 1861 there was but one ditch on
the East Fork, and that was ditch
one foot deep and two feet wide and
irrigated about seven acres of garden
truck at the upper end Of the valley,
on the Howard ranch. The Virginia
and Alderman bitches were dug in
1868, to irrigate land on the East Fork,
and they were the first bitches of any
consequence. The Virginia ditch was
dug by the late Senator William NJ.
Stewart and associates. and some wit
nesses testified that it was intended
for power ditch and not for irrigat
ing.
The earliest settlers built their
homes at the mouth of the canyons
whence issued mountain streams, and
many of such streams afforded more

URGES FORMATION
OF BOYS CLUB

A boys club for Yerington, self
governed and encouraged by parents
and other citizens, is being urged by
r. J.. Hill. of the high school and
Chief of Police Kelly
1t is believed that the lack of places
where boys may congregate for clean,
wholesome amusement, drives them to
pool halls and consequent associa-
tons, which are responsible for much
of the misconduct that is present in
every small community the world
over. The aim is to conduct a club for
boys themselves, with their own con
stitution and bylaws.
Several suitable locations for such
a club are available in the city. Work
toward organization of the club is
we'll under way. and it is probable
that it will be in operation within
