"The strike Of the coal miners
which begins today and probably will
stop production in more than half the
mines from which the country gets
its fuel. will be more than a mere
contest between employers and work
ers over the matter of wages and
working conditions. 1t probably will
develop soon into a great object les
son which will demonstrate the de
pendence Of the American people on
each other. If the lesson goes home
this will be the last strike on a big
scale that the country will witness
for a good many years. If it is
fought out it viii show us, employ
ers, workingmen and all. that we
cant afford to have our labor dis
putes settled by force and that way
must be found to avoid the disturb
ances, the waste and the loss incl
dental to this method.
Owe have been in the habit of
thinking that a strike of workers is a
matter Of business between them and
their employers. The whole army Of
workers in a basic industry having
gone out, we are apt to have If pain
fully impressed on us that strikes are
everybody's business.
"The first thing that will happen
will be that men and women will be
laid off in manufacturing plants
which are short on fuel. As time
goes on the number of these workers
for whom there is nothing to do will
increase. Railroad men will be laid
off by the thousands because fuel is
short and because there are fewer
factory products to haul Then bust
ness in the stores will slacken be
cause the people who ordinarily buy
will have had their incomes cut down
! by lack of work. If the strike goes
on and the mines cannot be operated
in places people will soon run out OF
many necessaries Of life. If there is
no settlement by the time fall comes
the farmers will have no markets fol
the products, and no way to move
them to supply even a small demand
If cold weather comes and still there
is not sufficient fuel supply there
will be suffering in tens Of thousand:
Of homes.
at may be the country needs some
such demonstration as this to bring
it to its senses. Some time we mus
learn that labor disputes belong t.
that class Of controversies which II
the public interests must be settled
promptly and without wanton injur!
to people not directly concerned. =

BENEFIT DANCE SUCCESS.

A benefit dance for Mrs. Edith
Pitschow was given last Saturday
evening al the Firemen's Hall, which,
with a subscription list, Melted about
1910. Mrs. Grace Hitchcock had
charge Of the arrangements. Mrs.
Pitschow has been i'll for several
months and was taken to a hospital.
from which we understand she was
recently discharged She had for
merly worked as an operator at one
Of the Tumwater Canyon block sta
tons but was thrown out Of work

installed.

YENTER
GETS $4,25O
DAMAGES
States Witnesses Would nave
Awarded Him from Nothing 10
Four Thousand.

World: Three witnesses VINO quail
fled as experts on the value OF or
chard land in the vicinity Of Monitor
and Cashmere, testified in the con-
domination suit brought by the State
Of Washington against Charles j.
Yenter in the Chelan county superior
court Thursday.
The state seeks to condemn a strip
containing III acres running almost
through the middle Of the 1enter
tract near the present end Of the East
Cashmere pavement. The jury visit
ed the site of the proposed new route
Of the Sunset highway Wednesday
and carefully looked over the situa-
ton at first hand.
Thursday morning District Engl-
neer Guy G. Harvey went on the
stand asd in response to questions
from Deputy Prosecuting Attorney
Lebeck, identified the survey map as
portion of the route Of the Sunset
highway which will be paved this
summer.
John A Gellatly was next put on
the stand and gave it as his opinion
that the Yenter orchard would be
damaged to the extent Of $4,000 by
the building of the highway through
it, including the value of the land
taken and the inconvenience of hav-
ing to farm two separate pieces sep
arated by the road.
John s. Mooney estimated the total
damage to the place at $3.50 and
Willis Carey, who lives along the
East Cashmere pavement near the
land in question gave it as us opin
| ion that the Yenter orchard would be
just as valuable after the road was
built through it as before. in other
words that the tract would not be
damaged at all.
LATER-The superior court jury
in the condemnation case Of the state
against C. J. Yenter brought in ver-
dict for 81 $50 at o'clock Friday af-
ternoon. The state had offered Yen
ter $4,000 in cash settlement Of the
| damages caused by taking 1T acres
Of his orchard land for highway pur-
poses, prior to the institution Of ac-
ton.

GARDEN NOTES.

The proper planting of the seeds
and plants is one of the most import
ant factors in the making Of sue
cessful garden, explains the Crop
Book issued by Lillly's Seattle. which
gives detailed information about gar
dening in the Pacific Northwest.
The reason so many people fail to
have good gardens, il states, is be-
cause there are no hard and fast rules
that VIII work every year. The seed
soil, weather and person making the
garden all influence the rules one
mould follow in garden making. A
specific rule that will work one year
may not work another and so a gar
dener must be good student Of ma
ture to know always what is best Il
do and when to do it.
The time Of planting the garden is
governed by the season. If it is an
early season and the soil is warm and
dry one may plant early but if it is a
late, cold, wet spring it is better to
wait than to try to plant before soil
is warm. Most seeds, if planted toe
early in a cold, wet soil, either rot
or become 50 weakened that they new
er do well.

By consolidating the Record plant
and the outfit brought TO Cashmere
by W. L. Cave, with which il was
proposed to establish a second news
paper in that city, the people of the
community are assured better service
than otherwise coul dpossibly have
resulted. Messrs Corselius and
Cave are to be congratulated upon
their good judgment in efecting the
consolidation rather than having two
newspapers in a field none too large
for one. When newspaper men can
readily get together and settle diff
ferences SO amicably, there seems to
be reason to believe that this may yet

The Great Northern Railway is
putting on rail buses in some places

seems that this practice could be IN

A GOVERNOR SALESMAN

Gov. John Blaine of Wisconsin is on
a circular tour, to New Orleans and
back, not on political mission but a
business mission. At Chicago he ex.
plains:
II am going to cell the state of Wis
c0nsiD to the south and middle west.
That is, am going to put Wisconsin
products over"
II is part of big, elaborate, care
fully planned campaign to advertise
and popularize Wisconsin products all
over the country The east and far
west will not be neglected.
Wisconsin seems to be pioneering
in this field. Not that the idea is new,
but Wisconsin is going about it in a
more formal, pretentious and highly
organized way than any other state
seems to have done.
1t Is an interesting phenomenon in
American business, and one well
worth emulating. 1t is very good for
business, besides affording an outlet
for state pride and attracting people
and capital to states needing them.
The domestic business of this coun
try is already incomparably bigger
and more important than foreign bust
ness can ever be. Export trade is val
uable and stabilizing, but the main
chance is always at home. Americans
prosper most by trading with each
other. and the states cannot possibly
do too much business with each other

RESPECTABLE DEATH

DR.. Harvey Wiley has given new
twist to the topic of longevity by an
n0uncing there is only one respect
able way to die, and that is or old
age"
In making this statement the doctor
excludes death which comes through
means absolutely beyond the individ-
ual's power of control. But otherwise
isn't he about right?
Most illness is preventable, 80 are
most accidents. Many congenital dis
orders can be corrected or controlled.
Most inherited tendencies toward ply
steal weakness can be overcome. by
proper living. These facts put the
whole subject of living up to the in
dividual. II he fails to safeguard and
strengthen himself he is contributing
toward his own death either wilfully
or carelessly. When he passes out
early I'm life he cannot be mourned
wholly as a victim; he Is to certain
degree guilty as a wastrel-one who
has thrown away the supreme gift of
life, and has put out OF order within a
few years a machine So nicely con.
trived to stand incredible strain that
IT, should have run smoothly for al
most century.
How embarrassed those who die be-
fore their time are going to be in the
Great Beyond If 1t develops that DR..
Wiley is right and instead of being
welcomed with loud twanging OF harps
they are greeted with, what are you
doing here so soon? You ought to be
ashamed OF yourself!'

Spencer account is misleading in that
much.

AZ a part Of the poultry program
promoted by the Farm Bureau in I'm
ion township, Wesley Stringfellow Of
that township started feeding his
flock Of SO hens according to sugges-
tions from the Ohio College of Agri-
cultures
The feeding was started Aug IA,
just at time when egg production
was falling off rapidly. The week pre-.
vious to the start, the 83 hens had laid
so eggs. Feeding was continued for a
month. and the last week the hens
laid 284 eggs. This is an increase Of
446 per cent.
Mr.. Stringfellow has demonstrated
that there is a practical benefit de-
rived from such a program, for it
meant to him an increase of so to so
dozen eggs for weeks when the price
was going up, and with an extra out
