carpenters. Opinions are expressed
very freely both for and against, and
very often It would seem that opinions
are expressed without due considera

A we understand the case the. par
amount issue so far as the men are
concerned is not wholly a matter of
wages, neither is it a matter of hours,
bnt the men ask that their federation
be recognized as other labor organiza
tions are recognized. Then they ask
juiumer ming wnicn seems or import
ance, and that Is. that apprentices be
compelled to serve their time in ap-
place among nvsn who have worked
years to learn the trade. : , We do not

this burning process might be extend

is not good law and perhaps it may be
called anarchy to advocate such a
measure, but it seems that tbe differ

sufficient to deal with tbsse inhuman

WESTON ON WALKING FOR "
HEALTH. , ' '
Walking, loses much of its benefi
cial effect unless you persist in it.
After a time, the will power soems to
increase with the increasing powers
of the body. As It does It becomes
less and less difficult to start on the
walk. - i can sympathize with this
same inclination for I've never start
ed on a long tramp with feeling for
the first few days and after a rest, a
shrinking from the exertion that lay
ahead of me. But I knew that aftei
I had Jogged along a mile or so 1
would find myself in fine fettle, and
at the end of the third of fourth mile
I felt as If I could keep going all
day. ., 1; , ... - ,.v V.
The gait In walking Is a most Im
portant matter, for unless a proper
one Is used, you tire quickly and a
lot of minor ills are apt to result.
The proper gait is a natural one.
Don't listen to anyone who tells you
about 'toe-and-beel" or any other of
the fancy methods of getting over the
ground. - ' -'
Walk flat-footed so that the weight
of the body each step is distributed
over the entire sole of the advanced
foot and the Impelling impulse is
shared by every inch of the rear foot.
Keep the toes straight or turn them
out a little. Do not attempt to stif
fen the knees In West Point style; on
the contrary let them give a little
with each step.t Take as long strides
as you can with comfort Let your
legs, be kept well apart; by doing so
you will avoid chafing and ease off
th,7 stride. Have the 'arms swing
easily by the sides; never keep them
on the chest with the fists, 1enched
as you are sometime Jj3commended
to do by so-called! -Uthletic writers.
Keep the shoulders backhand the head
raised, but not unnaturally, so. , The
lungs need all th.9 air they can get
when one Is walking. nFrom Physical

Herald tells of arrests made there as
follows: . : '; . ',
One of the most cunning and well
planned attempts to traffic In .white
slavery was frustrated by the activity
of Chief of Police Riley and the as
tuteness of Dr. C P. Dean of this
place when W. E. Bishop was arrest
ed at Enterprls "by the sheriff of
Wallowa county at tbe request of
Chief Riley. Today Deputy Ujalted
States Marshal Hamlin took Bishop
from Enterprise to Portland where
he 'will is arraigned before tRe United
States court.
The victim of Bishop's arts is at
present in Baker and .Is employed
here. She Is the daughter of a preach
er and eomB from a small Idaho town.
Bishop came to his downfall through
the confession that the grl made to
Dr. Dean who was called upon profes
sionally by her. He Immediately told
Chief Riley and Bishop ducked Out
of town, an Intimation of trouble hav
ing reached him. He waa located a
few days afterwards at Enterprise.
The story that the victim tells la
one of patient and long continued de-
celt. "Her confession, . written out
and sworn to, says that she first met
Bishop at Moscow, Idaho, and that be
persuaded her to accept employment
In a' hotel there for him. Here he
proposed marriage, and they, left . for

for several days when he tqld ,her

brought her to La Grande, remaining
