Fancy Pickets

The taxi-drivers in Paris
chose a bad time for their
strike, with half of Paris swarm
ing on foot across the bridges
to besiege the chamber, and the
militia and the RoyaliSts and
the Communists all out on their
own private errands. The New
York men had better luck; this
is a quiet country and the strike
came with a nasty snowfall
which spread a coating Of glass
over the streets. It's no use
pretending that we didn't miss
the cabs, even if we were not in
the habit of using them. We
were in the habit of jumping
as they slowed around corners.
The fanciest picketing I ever
saw occurred few nights ago
when I went out to get a cab
for a woman who had much
sympathy for strikers, but had
to get home. AS I whistled the
first time a snappy roadster
happened to come by, and the
driver leaned out and shouted,
deriSively, "No cabs, buddy,
there's strike" A few min
utes later a cab drove up, and
again the same roadster ap-
peared. Finally saw a cab dis
charging people across the street
and the roadster came up and
ranged himself alongside; and
as the cab tried to turn to
reach men, the roadster took
the outside curve, placing itself
between the cab and me. And
in that position herded the cab
away. A few minutes later he
was after two other cabs, like
. hawk. It was the best driv-
ing and the most effective
picketing I have ever seen.
What? No Strikes?
The radicals who have been
attacking the NRA as down
right Facism, opposed to labor,
and forbidding all strikes, ought
to explain, the strikes Of taxi
men and walters in New York.
Either they are wrong or the
antiStrike provision have not
yet been discovered by the
operators Of taxi services and of
. hotels. I went into a hotel
restaurant. the first day of that
strike, forgetting all about it.
and to my dismay saw a score
of young women standing around
empty tables. where I had
previously known a dozen IA
miliar walters and two dozen
familiar guests.
What you learn from these
strikes is what neither the Strik-
erS nor the owners want you to
learn: how well you can do
without. AS an old Pittsburgher
brought up in the tradition Of
long-drawn, bloody, and venge-
full strikes, I have known very
few in which I was not on the
side of the strikers; and almost
none in which intelligence
seems to have been called on
half as often as passion and
prejudice. Nor have I known
any strike which didn't teach
some lesson which was more
dangerous than the issue of the
strike itself.

CAMP ESQ. SYLVANITE
T'roy. Mont. Ju

Troy, Mont, July Is, 1884.
Camp Sylvanite has gone on rather a
tooth pulling spree which, Of course,
has enriched the local dentists since
the work has been done in both Libby
and Troy. The LIST sergeant and the
mess sergeant led the spree and in the
course of two weeks accomplished a
thorough humiliation Of molars. Others
have followed suit and much argument
with reference to the pain or lack of it
as experienced by the individuals con-
cerned has resulted Now familiar
conversation along about mess time is
as follows: Whatll va have Jack, thith
morning. Oh, gueth I'll have coupla
eggth, whad you eat? Oh / been too
busy to eat thith morning but we got
some good hard toatht and well done
bacon, no bout thome of that" -and SO
it goes.
Despite the foregoing, work on the
project goes on. However, the recent
loss of some q of our old timers is
cutting down the production. Angel, the
forestry clerk, was away for few days

SAYS GIVE CREDIT
WHERE CREDIT is DUE

Chief Hoffman of the Libby fire de-
partment is out with the statement that
a number of Libby citizens are deserv-
ing of commentator for quick and eff
ficient work in extinguishing fires dis
covered by them, and without calling
out the fire department.
The first instance included Miss
Dorothy Racicot and Miss Rose Domitt
as the star performers in the good work.
The young ladies thought they smelled
smoke one day at the Racicot home but
after making a careful search could find
no trace of fire. Shortly thereafter,
however, they opened the closed door
to one of the bedrooms and Immediately
found where the smoke was coming
from. The covers had been thrown back
over the foot of the bed onto chair
and were all afire. The two young
ladies went Immediately into action
and with buckets and dishpans of water
soon had the fire out. They told the
chief they didn't have time to call the
fire department.
The other incident occurred on The
night of the 18th, when DR.. c. j. Martin
and one of the nurses, Miss Minnie
Larson, thought they smelled smoke
around the buildings at the rear Of the
hospital A search disclosed no fire in
any of the hospital buildings but a
further investigation resulted in find
ing an old mattress in the woodshed IN
the rear of the residence property adj
joining the Libby creamery, with nice
fire consuming it. The two amateur fire
fighters hauled the burning mattress
into the open, extinguished it and thus
prevented another possible bad fire.
Heroes are born, not made" said
Chief Hoffman, in commenting on these
two incidents

"TREASURE" SHIP
MAY YIELD LITTLE
Vessel Sunk Near Juneau,
Alaska, Carried Only
$50O,0O0 in Gold.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
If the men who pulled the treasure"
ship Islander out of 365 feet of water
found much more than enough gold
dust to pay for their trouble, the
rosiest reports at the time she sank
were belied.
The salvors finished their raising
Job near Juneau. Alaska, a couple OF
weeks ago at an estimated cost OF
100000. but they are still secretive
about what they discovered.
In the Library of Congress there
were found today file of the Daily
Alaska Dispatch published at Juneau
the day the steamer sank-August IS,
1901. And the highest estimate made
by the Dispatch was that there was
$3.50, 900 of gold aboard the ship.
Total Far From $4,000, 900.
Gold is worth about twice as much
in dollars now as it was in 1901, but
even that would make the total far
cry from the $3,000,0o0 fortune that
was being sought.
Greatest catastrophe in the annals
of Alaskan steamship transportation"
the event was headlined when the
Islander struck an iceberg at 2 am.
and sank after lot passengers and a
crew of II joined in a wild scramble
for lifeboatS.
That day the Dispatch said: "The
amount of gold dust lost by her heavy
list of returned Klondikers cannot be
estimated at this writing"
Three "Pokes" in Safe.
But it added under a heading
notes" which combined scattering
sidelights on the wreck:
Three pokes of dust we're In the
ships safe, valued $4,000. The
purser opened his safe and returned
all the other pokes before the steamer
sank"
This appeared at least partially
borne out by three subsequent items.
The body of Joseph Dahl when re-
covered had so ounces of dust on it.
Another body, over which there was
difference of opinion on Identification,
had so ounces. And a Dispatch ad-
vertiSement offered $3.50 reward for
the delivery of AZ ounces of gold dust
which had been on the body of Will
liam Bracelen when found.
