THE COMING EVENT.
EXAMINATIONS

The foreboding cloud has been dark
ening the horizon for some time. Now
it is almost directly overhead. Soon
it will break and no doubt a great
catastrophe will descend upon US.
Examination time is what might be
called a judgment day. We are all
sincerely hoping that the Judgment
will not be too harsh. However harsh
it may be, those who fear it most
may be assured that it's severity will
be due to lack of preparation on
their part.
For those who have prepared day
by day, the event will mean a beau
tiful voyage over calm sea of know
ledge into the port known as "Satis-
faction"

CARBON TO. HAVE
BOOTH Al FAIR

Carbon County will have a booth
at the Midland Empire Fair this
season and all farmers, fruit grow
ers and gardeners are requested to
make their plans as soon as pos
sible in regard to exhibiting pro-
duce at the booth. 1t is an easier
matter to collect threshed grains,
forage crops and some of the
other exhibits for the fair, but
when the time comes to selecting
garden produce and fruits, it is
necessary to rely on the growers
themselves to bring these in at the
right time. #s%
All exhibits that are to be shown
must be in the booth at the fair
grounds by Sunday evening, as
Judging starts on Monday morn
ing. Particular attention should be
given to good type and particular
ly to uniformity of exhibits, both
as to size and shape. 1t will be
well for anyone in the Clarks Fork
Valley side who have fruits and
for exhibition, to leave
the same with Mr.. Frank Purcell
at the Purcell Grocery at From
berg, or to bring the same to the
office at Joliet, or at
least notify these places of the ex-
nibits. It can readily be seen that
at the last moment it will be hard
to collect exhibits and it will be
best if these could be left with the
parties mentioned.
It will take the crops Of good
many farmers and gardeners if an
extra good booth is to result from
;he fact that Carbon is entering a
booth this season. s"

GETS S49O,62O

With the receipt of a check for
500, ,716.28 from the Anaconda Cop
per Company, State Treasurer Ray
N. Shannon had received up to
August 1st, $490,620.31 payroll
taxes for the National Unemploy-
ment Insurance Fund.
Barclay Craighead, Chairman of
the State Unemployment Compen-
sation Commission, explained that
the tax will be collected from en-
ployers and employees until July
1st, 1889, before benefit payments
will begin. At that time, Craighead
says, there will be- about 75, 900
employees paying into the fund,
and in excess of 5000 employers.
Benefits under the law provide
a maximum weekly paycheck Of
$500, to continue for 16 weeks as
unemployment insurance. A peri
cd of three weeks must ensue after
a worker loses his job, before pay
ments will start. In the meantime,
he must accept any employment
which the State may offer, provid-
ing it is work that he is capable Of
performing and in line with his
previous experience.
The law provides that beneficial
ries must have earned credits by
being employed and by paying
taxes on their salaries. The, mea-
sure is designed to head off relief
in hard times, and to
form bulwark against sudden de-
pressions.
