W ord comes to this city that the
farmers and citizens of Lorane and
■vicinity met last Saturday and
proceeded to organize a co-operative
creamery. . The capital stock of the
concern was placed at $1000 and
steps will be taken immediately to
■corporate the company.
More
than half the stock was subscribed
at the first meeting, and it will be
no task at all to secure takers for
the remaining stock.

such enterprise as this which make

The mining exhibit will probably
be left to the State Commission,

to work up this attraction. A large

This is the Second Strike
in this California Mine
in Past Few Months
USE FORCE OF ARMS
To Prevent Imported Men
From Taking the Place
of Those on Strike
A Portland dispatch says:
Walter McAlpin, a laborer, now
in this city had an experience in
Northern California which be will
long remember. In company with
seven other laborers he was en route
to Iron Mountain to work in the
copper mines. The striking miners
at Keswick heard of the affair and
intercepted the stage the laborers
were in and at the points of rifles
made the laborers get out.
“ No violence was offered us,” said
McAlpin, “ further than that we were
given to understand that our hide
wasn't worth
the price of shoe
leather as it would be filled so full of
holes unless we obeyed. There
were about 25, all well armed. One
of the strikers told us to tell all our
friends that they had better briDg
their coffins if they intended to work
in that part of the country before
the trouble is settled. Everybody
| seems to be afraid o f the miners, for
j they inarched us in a body back to
middle Station, then to Keswick,
and no one interfered, although we
saw lots of people. A t Keswick they
made us board the train, giving us
tickets to San Francisco.'' I jumped
the train at Reddiug and came
north to Portland. I am not “ han
kering” after a job in that part of
the country. Those fellows looked
like they meant business and I am
positive would have killed us as they
threatened to do if we had refused
to return.
“ It looked like they bad men pa
trolling the whole country. Our
escort several times met other arm
ed men with whom they exchanged
a few words and passed on. Some
of them were a pretty tough looking
lot.”
In answer to a question, the
laborer said that the stage was stop
ped a week ago last Monday. He
said he didn’t know much about tbe
situation or tbe cause of the trouble
as be was a stranger, hired by an
agent in San Francisco, who paid
bis fare and offered him $3 per day.
From what he picked up, however,
he understood that the strike has
been in progress for some time and
that tbe miners have been carrying
things with a high band, at one
time having taken possession of the
hotel at Keswick, and some other
places of business. He said the
officers were all either afraid of them
or else stood in with them.
“I can tell you one thing” said
McAlpin, “ and that is that I shall
never bother them again.”

of tbe Rogue River Packing & N avi

E. B. Burns is manager.
This same company is also at work
building a sfeamer to take the place
of the Rogue River that was wreck
ed while attempting to make the
rapids just below the mouth of the
Illinois a few months ago. The new
boat is being built especially for tire
rapids and treacherous current of
the Rogue. I t will be 50 feet over
all and 12-foot beam. A second
boat somewhat smaller than the
Rogue River is also being construct
ed. Engineers and machinery for
each of these boats are now on the
way from San Francisco.
The Rogue River Packing &
Navigation Company have secured
permission from the United States
Government to erect a wharf on the
Gold Beach side, near the mouth of
Rogue. The two new boats will be
ready for service in a few week?, and
will be found of great benefit and
service, not only to the company
owing them but to the farmers and
miners of the Low er Rogue country.
A very large power drill and
lathe arrived at this place lately
and was sidetracked on the Pacific
Timber Co.’s new spur near the
railroad bridge above town.
The
