seems to me.

Vigilantes in Butte, Mont., lynched
Frank Little, an "Industrial, Worker
of the World ' leader," according to
news dispatches. One report has it
that "Little was in the employ of a
prominent detective agency and one
theory is that he' was the victim of
the radical element of whom he ap
peared to be a member." Be this as
it may. Little, in a speech at Butte is
reported to have said of United States
soldiers, that they were "Uncle Sam's
scabs in uniform." The only, com
ment I have to make,, is, that any
man, in my opinion, an I. W. W. or
any other who makes such a decla
ration, should be immediately hung or
shot, and no questions asked.;- Ugh? .

- One sees many strange sights while
Strolling.'- -' '' "'
" I couldn't sleep the other night o
I put on my clothes and went strolling-
The first thing I.knew I : saw a
strange sight. ' A man who had on
less clothes than the law allowed was
running up Walnut street (in fact he
had on only an undershirt) and
strangest of all there were two pret
ty girls pursuing him. 1
' I stood still and watched in amaze
ment. The man was a better runner than
the girls, not being impeded' by any
clothes, and he paid no attention to
the girls who were calling:
"Here, come on back and put on
your pants." '
Finally he stopped In front of Judge
Eakin's house on Walnut street, and
pretty soon the girls caught up and
grabbed the man by the arms.
Judge Eakin, who sleeps on a sleep
ing porch, stuck hie head out and
recognized the girls as nurses from
the Grande Ronde Hospital and called
out: ' . , . '
' "What's the matter, girls, do you
need any help?"
The nurses answered no, but that
they were trying to persuade a pat
ient who was out of his head to put
on his pants.
"Well," said the Judge, "you girls
just wait until I put on mine, and I
will be right down."
So the judge dressed hastily and
went down. No sooner did he arrive
on the scene, when the patient Who
was demented said, "Why there's my
long lost brother now." It seems that
he thought his brother was missing.
So he put his arms around the
judge and like two boon companions
they and the nurese walked back to
the hospital, where the patient was
put to bed.
It was like a night from the Arab
inn Niirht. and thus endeth "THE

They are handling at the same time,

year ago, or an increase of sixteen per

; They hnve successfully handled the
added traffic thrown on them hy the
withdrawal on account of the war of
ninny lake and seacoast vessels.
In spite of this iucreased bitsinetm
they bava decreased the general car

They have increased the practical
supply of cars by 770,000 through
henrier loading, quicker repairs, quicker
mndllng, by pooling shipments at lak

mediately, and by utilizing box can that
formerly were sent to the coast empty.
They have given preference to coal
shipments, particularly for the govern
ment and its allies.
Twenty-nine per cent more bituminoiu

in the same month of 1910.
Second preference has been given t
ore shipments, which also have increased
enormously.
The grain situation also has been
greatly improved. There Is no grain
