working for the larger concerns had
walked out. Two weeks ago Sunday,
delegates appeared in the camps of
Jack Isaacson, Sakri Silinpaa, Isaac
Lamppa, Jacob L. Pete, Cyrille Fortier,
Harry j. Homer, John Carlson, and
others, inducing the men to lay down
their tools and join the strikers.
The affair did not appear very seri-
Gus at first as the truck drivers, many
of them having individual contracts by
the load or cord, were of the impression
that, not being considered as loggerS or
operators, they would not be molested
and would be permitted to haul their
contracts. Many of these had pur-
chased new trucks on the strength of
the new activity in the woods and were
paying for them on the monthly pay
ment plan as the result of the hauling
contracts secured this year for the
first time in several years.
Some hauling was done but early last
week pickets were sent up from Duluth.
Some loads were dumped and the
drivers threatened. Hauling was at a
standStin for few days. Truckers
sought the protection of the sheriff's
Office and the local police only to be
informed that sit will be better to lay
off as the governor is behind the
strikers" at least this is the story told
told reporter
Hauling has been brisk since the
settlement of the strike and trucks are
running day and night shifts. A
weeks idleness during the hauling
season meant much to the operator who
could see his contract losing money
with every days idleness and when his
check depends on getting timber to the
mine or railroad, as the case may be.
To prove that the Ely workers were
not overly enthused with the prospects
so glowingly depicted by the delegates
at a meeting held here a week or SC
ago at which some fifty men were
present, when pickets were called for
only five responded and these very re-
luctantly.
However, now that the strike is over
the majority of the men are satisfied
There are some who feel that the first
demands for 81 per day wages and sew
eral other demands made should have
prolonged the walk-out and that the
men dealing with the state authorities
and the big timber operators should not
have given in. 1t was the opinion OF
the majority nevertheless that the
workers were getting the best that
could be had under the circumstances
and the operators were unable to meet
all the demands made without closing
down altogether.
Eleven items made up the demands

Pacific, Atlantic Salmon

The Pacific salmon is quite different
from its Atlantic brother, says writer
n the Chicago Daily News. This
species dies after spawning once and
never returns to the ocean, while the
eastern salmon spawns approximately
four times. 1t always returns to its
fresh-water birthplace and frequently
fingers in that locality for a whole
year. During this time the Atlantic
salmon never eats. 1t receives its
nourishment from its own body, which
it has previously built up from ocean
feeding. but this fast costs a 30 per
cent reduction in weight

Oripin of Postal System

The complicated postal organization
had its origin in the system Of private
messengers employed by ancient rulers.
Each messenger was given a fixed sta
ton where he should always be in
readiness to receive a message and
carry it to the next post. The Emperor

newest and freshest dope is that the

fifth district congressional seat with
yearning eyes. the. while his mouth
waters at the thought of the political
plum just abandoned by Frank Han

There isn't anything more to back
these latest reports than those which
pictured Coan as deeply DESTROYS of

Mr.. Hancock In fact there's less, be-
cause he said himself he was serious
ly considering the Senate race, while
so far he hasn't even committed him
self to that extent regarding a cam
paign for the congressional seat.
General political opinion is that
anybody tackling Lon Folger in next
years campaign is going to have a
real job on his hands. Not that it is
unanimously agreed that Lon is in
vincible and invulnerable; but it GER
tainly is the consensus that he is very
and extremely popular in the Surry
