countv last week bv trettinc 14u0 du-
pils into 17 industrial clubs. Thiscjty some time visiting with relatives L
maites an average oi oo memDers to
the club, which is more than he has
secured in any other, county. Many

larger schools,, which accounts for

, County Superintendent Mrs. A. E.
ivanhoe is taking an active interest !
in the work and is bent upon having
a prize-winning juvenile exhibit at the
state fair as 'well as upon making
that department of the county fair an
unprecedented success-.
. Large clubs were organized at Un
ion, Cove, Island City and Elgin, as
well as at La Grande and in several
rural schools. It is the plan to hold
l local school fair at each of these
points just before the county fair at
La Grande, Union County fairs have
usually been held in October, but in
order to give the children, as well
bp the adults, an opportunity to send
their exhibits on to the state fair,
Secretary Secor has chosen the week
prior to the state fair for the local
event, realizing that this will stimu
late interest all around and make the
juvenile department the leading fea
ture of the fair.
County Agent C. C. Cate is deeply
interested in the work and anxious
to see Union county well represented
at the state fair and to that end will
co-operate with the Industrial clubs,
county fair ' board, county court,
County school superintendent and all
other interested parties.

Fairley is Summoned.
Washington, Apr:: 30. Secretary
of labor Wilson at the direction of
the president summoned William
Fairley, an official of the United
Mine Workers, and H. Davies presi
dent of the Kentucky operators asso
ciation for a conference regarding the
situation in the Colorado coal fields.
Arbitration is thought to be in siirH
a;id it is likely that the two who
have been called, will be asked to

proposal will then be submitted to
both sides.
Secretary Wilson is likewise to.
leave in the course of a day or two

Twelve Killed Yesterday.
Trinidad, April 30. Twelve men
are known to be dead and nine in
jured as the result of yesterday's
fighting. The dead include nine
guards at Forbes, Mnjor Lester of the
hospital corps, and two strikers at
Walsenburg. The wounded are three
strikers, three guards at Forbes,
Lieut. Scott and two privates at Wal
senburg. Reports indicated that three
others are dead at Walsenburg, and
that three strikers are slain at Forbes
but this rumor has not been con
firmed. But for the coming of the regulars
there would have been a terrible
carnage as the militiamen had been
surrounded by the strikers and were
being subjected to a cross fire.
A detachment of the fifth cavalry,
440 strong, arrived about 8 a. m., un
der command of Major Holbrook. The
latter declined the offer of the oper
ators to use the military armory, say
ing the federal troops would be ab
solutely neutral.
