RAT ION S
MfWEIII
(Scrippe Newe A relation)
Washington, Aug. 20 The women
nurses and the soldiers, the former in
attendance and the latter under treatment
at army hospitals in Alaska have come
near starving to death on the allowance
which was permitted under the law at
SO cents a ration. The military authori
ties in the territory have reported that
the allowance is altogether inadequate
and does not begin to furnish funds to
buy food to sustain those to whom it is
ssued by the government It will be
necessary to make an exception on the
part of the nurses and the soldier patients
and lu una and uie laguiar army rauon
has been sanctioned by the Secretary of
War, an action he may take by virtue of
statue and service regulations in cases of
such emergencies as exist in Alaska.
The problem comes about through the
high price of food in the territory, especi
ally at the army posts, and notably at
Fort Gibbon. Provisions which must be
brought from a distance are expensive,
and such commodities as eggs, meat
and milk cost from four to ten times the
market prices in the states.

OF LABOR
(Scrlppe Newe Association)
Trenton. N. J.. August 20. The twenty
eighth annual convention of the New Jer
sey State Federation of labor was called
to order this forenoon in the Assembly
Chamber of the State Capitol. Nearly
every local in the state, affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor was rep
resented by delegates. This convention
promises to be the most important ever
held by the state body. There are a num
ber of important matters to be considered
and the report of the legislative committee
will be of especial interest, in view of the
political agitation now going on among
the labor men. It is eaid that labor
measures received scant consideration at
the hands of the last legislature. The
impression is that the convention will de
clare for independent political action, with
a view of securing the election of men to
the legislature who will voice the senti
ments of organized labor. 1
Another matter which promises to take
up a good portion of the time of the con
vention is the dispute between the Biew
ery Workers and the Steam Enaineere.
In anticipation cf this matter being brought
up the Brewery Workers have elected
twenty three delegates to the convention
from the different locals of the state and
the Engineers also have sent large dele
gations. This dispute is about the old
jurindiction question which has been so
often discussed by the Federation. In
every case the decision has been in favor
of the engineers, but the brewery workers
have refused to abide by the decisions,
ON WALLOWA IND
The right of way crew for the O. R. &
N. have established a camp on Mr. Shinn's
ranch on Alder Slope about three miles
from town. Work is progressing rather
slowly on account of the shortage of help,
but it it expected that after harvest men
will be more plentiful, when work will be
pushed rapidly. -Joseph Herald.
A tragic finish
A watchman's neglect permitted a
leak in the great North Sea dyke, which
a child's finger could have stopped, to be
come a runinout break, devastating an
entire province of Holland. In like man
ner Kenneth Mclver. of Va.xeboro, Me.,
permitted a little cold to go unnoticed
until a traggic finish was only averted by
Dr. King & New Discovery. He wnies:
"Three doctors gave me up to die of lung
inrlamation. caused by a neglected cold,
but Dr. King s New Discovery saved my
life." Guaranteed best cough and cold

OdAN TRANSPORTATION Of (AIIU
The transportation of cattle across the
ocean is said not to be free from painful
incidents. It is probable that the cattle
on the best lines of steamers get across
in fairly comfortable conditions, but here
is a record of one winter voyage on a
line of steamers going - out from Boston.
In a storm seven hundred sheep were
washed overboard, ar.d seventy-five
steers fell and broke their legs and were
thrown overboard alive. For three days
the storm was so bad that neither fooJ
nor water could be given the cattle and
sheep, and when' they were landed some
were too weak to walk, some were lame,
all were stiff from standirg in cramped
positions, in a wash of icy water for ten
or twelve days. One sheep was seen to
drop dead when taken from the vessel.
Cruelties even worse than these weae
reported to the editor of this magazine by
a young man of undoubted reliability who
went across in care of the sheep and who
can never forget the suffering he witness
ed and was powerless to prevent Can
we call ourselves humane or a Christian
people while such treatment of our
"fellow mortals" is allowed? -Our Dumb
