than my Celebrated anu Superior Chilled and

They furnish similar and equal security to the
Safes generally manufactured the different cit

qualities and durability, the Iron being efectuaily
protected from any climate, and the Flre-

The laboring men are striking. again, in
different parts of the country for higher
wages and fewer hours of labor. The price
of living beggars them; the length of time
of labor crushes them physically, and
leaves them no time for cultivation and So
cial enjoyment. But, alas The sweat
and toll and happiness of the white laborer
must bo given, forever, to pay the nigger
taxes. Does any one suppose that these
are to be paid by magic How arc they
to be paid ? by the laborer; labor produces
nearly all the capital of the retired mon-
eyed aristocracy If labor ceases, the ac-

Upon this showing Mr. Field, wis conducted the

The strike in which the ship-joiners have
for some time been engaged has at last led
to counter-movement on the part of their
late employers. The latter have given pub
lie notice that they win hereafter employ
no man who has participated in the strike
unless he shall first sever his connection
with the Ship Joiner's Union, and renounce
his afhliation with that organization. The
situation of affairs between the EMPLOYERS
and the workmcn, in this branch Of trade. is
therefore precisely like that which existed
IN England year ago, in the iron trade Of
Stafordshire. The strike Of the workmen
has been followed by a "lock- out'' on tie
side of the employers. Both parties have
clearly defined their positions, and the only
question now is which combination in likely
to prove successful.


The tone Of the address issued by the mas
ter ship builders implies determination on
their part not Only to persist in refusing -
cession TO the demands Of their late Cd era
tives, but also to break up the organization
which binds the latter together. Viii the
master builders be able 70 obtain other
hands to do their work and, If not able
to do 90, can they a. we'll afford to be idle

against the rate of wages which thes receive

being unwilling TO accept any reduction in
the amount Of daily pay. The strike, there

FRIDAY, October 10, 1885,


We have no particular change to notice IN Ouf
domestic market. The principal movement mas
been in Flour, large quantities Of which @ie
being freighted to the Boise mines. In the Gram
market we note a continued disposition on the
part of farmers not to sell at ruling rates. The
great majority of them are storing their crops
with view to holding for an advance. The
failure of the crops in Europe, as also in the
Atlantic States, cannot fail to produce demai
for the surplus 6readstuffs on the Pacific coast,
and With this demand will follow an advance in
price. In San Francisco every vessel that can
be chartered is being loaded with Flour for ship
ment abroad, and in that way California is rap
idly being drained of her surplus breadstubS.
In view of all the facts, it is fair to conclude
that Grain will soon advance in price and that
those who hold on to their crops Will be gamers
thereby.


Our merchants just now are busily engaged
in receiving their fall and winter stocks of mer'
chandise, and judging from the extent of these
stocks, the conclusion is irresistible that they
expect an unusually brisk trade. We cin assure
interior purchasers that larger and better as
sorted stocks of goods can be found at Walla
Wala than at any point north Of San Francisco,
and that these stocks will be sold at very small
advance upon !he original cost.


IN the early part of the week we noticed Il
large train of OK teams, heavily loaded with
merchandise, passing through town on the way
to the. Boise country. These teams had loaded
at Wal:ula, preferring to freight from that point
rather than encounter the sandy deserts that
characterize the Umatila route. Teamsters and
packers engaged in the Boise trade all prefer to
freight from WalIula, and with another season
we may expect the greater part of the trade to
pass this way.

A SUBSTITUTE FOR AN Ice PITCHER
People who have no ice pitchers will oe
glad to know that there is a very simple
method of keeping ice water for long
time in a common pitcher. Between two
sheets of paper place layer Of common
batting about half an inch in thickness, and
form cylinder by fastening the ends of the
paper and batting together. Then sew or
paste a crown on one end, so as to make a
box the shape of stove pipe hat, minus
the rim. The cylinder should be made
large enough to go entirely over the pitcher,
80 that the open end will rest upon the table
or sideboard, and thus exclude the air. Any
one trying this simple method of keeping
ice water cool, will be astonished at the
length of time it will preserve the coldness
of the water.

How did you treat Mrs. w. when you were
counting her, and how did you feel toward
her at the time of your marriage?"


Squire w. replied, II treated her as kindly
as could, for loved her dearly"


HWell, sir" said the governor, go home
and court her now just as you did then, and
love her as Ghen you married her. Do this
