The imperial order of Wind Jammers of ten years standing in Montana have about decided that the insigna of their order shall be a black suit of clothes, so all colored brethern are warned to be careful not to wear black suits or to jail they go for this enormous offense against society. Some few of the narrow minded members of the local lodge of Elks in this city seeking a little cheap notoriety at the expense of the colored race, who prohibit them from becoming members of their lodge, and they have gone ahead and organized lodges of their own throughout the country seek to prohibit them from wearing the Elk head which also happens to be the insign of their order. At the last session of the legislature they managed slip through a Jim Crow bill which they thought would do the work, but the same bill is clearly unconstitutional and it was even imitated by Judge Clemens of the district court to be so. Assistant County Attorney, Phalen (who is a member of the local Elks) has been moving heaven and earth to send some colored man to jail for daring to wear in this country the insigna of his order. JIM CROWING In the recent proceedings in our local courts against W. R. Holland's right to wear an Elk pin the insigna of the Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the world; while we conced that the County Attorney's office actively in the premises is in line of the performance of duty we at the same time think that it can outrage that an effort should be made to enforce here in this country such distinctive class legislation, any old bum be with white face could use the button and no notice would be taken of the same. We have no interest in the case other than the principal which denies to our people the right of the pursuit of happiness and to wear the uniform of whatever order they belong to. They have no doubt found that the Elk's are a good order as they found the Masons, Odd Felows and K. P's and fond of all things good when they are striving for good there is no occasion up here in this bilwick to enact him Crow laws or to resort to him Crowing. --- Will the Republicans in the State Convention assembled do the proper thing and recognize their colored ally by electing one of their number as an alternate to the National Convention at Chicago? And now that a few narrow minded pin-head candidates for fame, as a result of heir activity against the happiness of the Negro are abroad in this progressive whostate, it is about time that the conservative broad-guaged men who DO THINGS exert themselves and inform them that such procedure is a step backwards and is not a product of our latter day civilization. We have always found the Elks to be a broad guaged and progressive set of good fellows, and we are surprised at the narrowness displayed in the Holland case. And after all these Helena Elks might be jealous that Mr Holland, a gentleman of color, should sport the finest Elk badge in the city. THE COLORED ELK The present agitation relative to the right of colored men wearing the ensigna of their order should not be; no more so that the Odd Fellows, Masons or K P's or any other lodge, all of which exists among our people and all of them have done invaluable work for the good among a struggling race. The colored Elk is a new organization which is a rapidly gaining in prestige, they have something over 100,000 members in the U. S. If Elkdom is a good thing for the white man it is perhaps likewise a good thing for the black man, and certainly No Man or men have a patent on the all the good things of this world. They are not as we understand it trying to break in white lodges but at a lively rate, setting up lodges of their own throughout the land for the benefit of Brotherly love and the chairty toward mankind. And not withstanding the narrow bigoted attitude to enforce a Jim Crow law in this section they will continue to thrive and grow like a Gree Bay Tree. NEWS FROM CHICAGO Rev. Wm. Gray, of this city who has made so much talk about building a home for the aged Baptist Ministers is now out of a church himself. Rev. Gray is unpopular with the people, nobody wants anything to do with him it is reported that he will soon leave the city and go to the Philippine Island and a large number of colored people in this city will be very glad when he takes his departure. Two Sundays ago the Compact Negro Knights Templars of this city turned out but they made a very unfavorable impression upon the people there, was about Any person coming to the city of Chicago who desires a very nice place to stop at can inquire of Mrs. J. E. Johnson, 3238 Wabash Avenue, Chicago. Mrs. Johnson's place has been highly recommended by a large number of colored persons who have already stopped there from time to time. Mr. Geo. R. Jackson, of N. Y. Mr. Samuel Green of Rochester, N. Y. are in the city on a visit. Helena, Montana, Friday, May 15 1908 RESORTING TO THE JIM GROW LAW! JUDGE CLEMENTS INTIMATES LAM IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL. RESORTING TO THE JIM GROW LAW! JUDGE CLEMENTS INTIMATES LAM IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Wm. R Holland a musician was arrested last week fort he enormous offense above mentioned, and in Judge Langhorns court before a jury was convicted. And by Judge Langhorne who said that he was impudent (as some white men always say of a negro to stand for his God given rights) fined $100.00 which on principal he refused to pay was committed to jail. His attorney, Chad. Spaulding immediately gave out a writ of habeaus corpus and he had a hearing on the same before Judge Clemens who refused to grant the writ on the ground that it was not his province to pass on the legality of their act by way of the habeaus corpus, but imimated that the law was clearly class legislation and void. Where upon the defendant took an appeal to the district court and the case will in the near future be tried on its merits. HOLLAND EXPLAINS W. R. Holland takes exceptions to the account in the daily papers that his actions were not perfectly proper and that he was in no way disrespectful to the court. He states that he was given a bond and instructed to hand the same to Judge Langhorne, that assistant County Attorney Phalen met him on the street and forcibly attempted to take the same from him to which he strenously demurred as he conceived he had a perfect right to do. FREEDMEN TO GET $1000,000 FREEDMEN TO GET $1000,000 FREEDMAN DEPOSITORS The bill to appropriate $1,000,000 for the prpose of reimbursing the persons who lost their savings in the Freedmen's Bank has been reported favorably to the House by the Committee on Banking and Currency. It has already passed the Senate, and there is a strong likehood that it will soon become a law. The bill came in response to the long-standing claims of exslaves who deposited their money in the Freedman's Bank which was established under governmental supervision for the benefit of colored people soon after the war and which failed because of a slump in the real estate in the District on which large sums had been loaned. If the original depositors have died, the money goes to the heirs or assigns. The Average American Citizen The Metropolitan A. M. E. Church was well-filled Friday evening with the best colored people of the national capital who came to listen to the address by Representative Philip P. Cambell Kansas "young eloquent," who spoke on the subject, "The Aver- age American Citizen." Mr. Campbell is a young man of most engaging manner, an orator of force and brilliance, and the audience was charmed from the opening to the close of his address for full an hour and a half. He said it was unfair to judge any race or people by their extreme elements—it was the average man and woman who fixed the status of races and nations. He rejoiced in the high average attained by the Negro in education, morals material possessions industry, thrift business and all that went to make up a desirable citizen. He plead earnestly and eloquently for an equal chance and fair play for the worthy American citizen, regardless of color party or creed or financial condition, and for laws that would protect with equal force every individual beneath the flag. He aroused his hearers to a high pitch of enthusiasm when he declared his wish that the black man should have political equality of opportunity and all the liberties guaranteed the people of the republic by the federal constitution. He said that both races are here, and they will remain here, and that it is absurdly for anyone to claim that it is impossible for foth to exist in harmony under the same laws and in equal participation in the functions of government. Social Equality - The bugbear of "social equality came in for an unmerciful "skinning" at the hands of Mr. Campbell. His remarks were all the mortal rift because of the foolish newspaper racket made over the recent dinner in New York in which white and colored settlement workers participated. Mr. Campbell contented that the sensationl hue and cry raised by people in certain sections of the country that if a man cast his vote in the same precinct and rides in the same car with a Negro it would give his social equality is all rot. He added that this class of people had befogged the nation with that cry for a quarter of a century and had used it to frighten the timed white, in order to rob the Negro of his civil and political rights, which were as distinct from 'social equality' as night and day. The speaker paid a royal tribute to the loyalty of the Negro in all the wars of the republic, and extolled the creditable productions of Paul Laurence Dunbar, Henry O. Tanner and the leaders of the race in the work of education, at the bar and in the world of business. Mr. Campbell was repeatedly applauded during his address and as he sat down he was given an ovation which lasted several minutes. His speech was pronounced the best that hod been heard from a Caucasian in many a day, and it was refreshing to find that the Negro people had such strong and uncompromising advocates of liberty and civic righteousness among the race. Congressman C. F. Scott and Edward Madison were introduced and made brief and witty remarks, echoing the broad humanitarian sentiments of Mr. Campbell. The meeting was called to order by Mr. Henry Lassiter, chairman of the committee on arrangements. The introductions were performed most felicitously by Register W. T. Vernon, who presided: Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis, dramatic reader, rendered in effective fashion William Well Brown's appropriate poem, "Fight On For Liberty." The Metropolitan Choir, directed by The New York Dry Goods Store. Colossal Purchase of Exquisite White Goods Prof. John T. Layton, gave several selections. Master Turner Layton's tenor solo evoked many commendatory expressions. Bouquets of choice carnations were presented to Mr. Campbell and Miss Davis by Mr. Lassiter amid hearty applause. The general committee which assisted Mr. Lassiter to make the meeting a success was made up of Rev John H. Welch, the pastor, and Messrs John A. Simms, William Beckett George W. Jones, B. A. Chase, Thomas H. Wright, Daniel Williams, Charles W. Hale Thomas W. West Joseph H. Stewart, George Robinson, Joseph W. Brown and William H. Wilkes. CRIPUS ATTUCKS AT BOSTON By Chas. D. Clem. (March 5, 1770, in the streets of Boston, was shed the first blood for American Independence and among the first to fall was the Negro slave, Attucks, the recognized leader of the citizens.) They were armed men who held the town, Determined to crush its spirit down But they were met with jeers and snubs From men whose weapons were but clubs. Who had no guns nor burnished arms, No flag nor scarlet uniforms. But they were men who would not kneel Beneath a haughty tyrant's heel. "Wher is the man,"—the people cry— "Who is brave enough to fight or die?" We'll follow him and heed his call And avenge his death if he should fall. Then like a flash of lightning came The words which set the smouldering flame thrust Our bodies through, light on, we "To die ten deaths in Freedom's name." F-i-r-e! was the order the second time, Bang! went the guns all down the line; A lurid flame, a puff of smoke, Confusion reigned; the column broke; And on the ground the dark skinned man, Who maintained such a stubborn stand Against the Britons onward sweet, Lay cold in death as if asleep. The news that American blood was shed Throughout the Nation quickly spread; It filled all hearts with burningire And Freedom's patriotic fire. "On to the field,"—the people cry,— "On to the field to fight or die, We will not wear Great Britain's yoke Her course she must at once revoke Or meet us on the field," and then The massacre was at an end. They buried their herois dead, And over head they reared a stone To tell to ages then unknown, Of why he fought and how he fell In this the British empire's knell. If you should fall, be not ashamed must; And terminated in a fight. A fleeing slave, a dark skined man "The musket balls and bayonets plied, "Here is the nest,"—he soon re- Said loudly:—"I will lead the van, "Strike at the root,"—brave Attucks cried. Here is the nest, strike at the root And let the hated Red Coats shot" Then glancing at the British line He said:—"This day the ties which bind America to England's laws Shall fall in twain for freedom's Thus Boston massacre began. mand, And Preston gave one short com- tense, With weapons clenched and muscle Of Independence, burning bright. cause." On came the storm with fearful mien, It could be felt as well as seen, One moment more of dire suspense, THE COST OF BUILDING A CREAMERY. During the past few years there have been built in the United States several thousand creameries, many of which have been succesful from the start, while others have failed after a few months' operation, and somewere never even started. An investigation of the creamery business in several States by the United States Department of Agricultural has shown that the cause of many of the failures was due to lack of a sufficient number of cows, which should not be less than 400, and that others failed be cause of improper organization, in Continued On page 4. FORTY-SIX BATTLERS FORMED LINE IN THE BAY. All Vessels of Pacific Fleet Joined Those of Atlantic and Made Grandest Review Ever Held in History of Nation—Every Kind of Fighting Craft in Procession. The entry of the great Atlantic fleet through the Golden Gate into San Francisco bay provided for the most formidable and picturesque naval display in the history of the nation. All the vessels of the Pacific fleet joined the Atlantic battleships outside the Golden Gate and steamed with them through the harbor entrance to the anchorage in the bay, where the review of the navy was held. Practically the entire fighting force of the navy, with the exception of a few newly commissioned ships in the east and a few gunboats in Philippine waters, was in the great column of white and buff vessels that threaded their way between the headlands of the gateway —Point Bonito on the north and Point Lobos on the south. Forty-six vessels were in line and the long column stretched as far out to sea as the eye can see. The variety of fighting craft ranged from the massive 16,000-ton Connecticut down to the little destroyer Fox, of only 154 tons displacement. Battleships, armored cruisers, protected cruisers, gunboats, destroyers torpedo boats and auxiliaries—in fact every class of vessel in the navy save the obsolete monitors—were represented in this remarkable parade through the famous port entry. The steaming of the ships through the Golden Gate was a far more impressive and enduring picture than the review at anchor, which is to be held two days after the arrival. Read Admiral Robley D. Evans was on the bridge of the Connecticut, where he commanded a full view of the fleet in entering San Francisco bay. Strict orders for a fair way for the host of naval vessels were issued by the department of commerce and labor at Washington, and the scores of excursion steamers that took crowds out to Angel island and beyond to view the spectacle were under close federal supervision. Revenue cutters and naval launches patrolled the pathway and keep excursion and pleas are craft out of danger. Fluttering flags, navy pennants and streamers and Rear Admiral Evans' pictures are everywhere. Market street is a long vista of bunting in the national colors, and flags waving from white poles 50 feet high every 100 feet, one large and a cluster of five smaller flags flying from each one, and terminating in a huge red, white and blue shield on the tall ferry tower. On each side of the tower, stretched on long wire cables, are words "Welcome to the Atlantic Fleet," in the kaleidoscopic colors of the international navy signal code flags and pennant, while on Telegraph hill the word "Welcome" stands in letters 50 feet high, which can be read for many miles, and which at night will be illuminated by 2500 electric lights. Relatives and friends came in from the north, south and from the east to assist in the entertainment and to witness the pomp and pageantry of an event which, beyond kindling pride and love of country, marks the beginning of a new epoch in the development of the Pacific ocean. It is estimated that there are between 700,000 and 800,000 people in San Francisco. The Land Parade. On Thursday, 15,000 men, 8000 from the fleet, 2500 from the Presidio, 15 companies of national guards, G. A. R. and Spanish War Veterans, were in parade. On Friday, Secretary of the Navy Metcalf, on board the Yorktown, reviewed the combined Atlantic fleet and the Pacific fleet in the harbor. WILHELM WEDS MARIE. Cousin to Czar Becomes Wife of Swed- inb. Prince.

The ceremony took place at Tsarskoe-Selo. The czar, Gust tax of Sweden, the bridegroom's father, and Prince Carl and Princess Ingeborg, his brother and sister, were present. So were most of the Russian royal family and all the greatest of the nobility outside the charmed circle of royalty. TOWN SWEPT BY FIRE. Antipolo Blaze Starts From Flash of Lightning. Manilla, May 6—The town of Antipolo, in the province of Morong, has been practically destroyed by fire. Four hundred homes were burned and hundreds of people are homeless.

Greatest Ball Game in West In one of the grandest exhibitions of baseball ever seen in the west Aberdeen and Butte Wednesday afternoon at Aberdeen, battled 20 innings to a draw. After three hours and three-quarters of playing Umpire Caruthers called off the game, as darkness was settling down. The last 14 innings were played without a score and the game itself was characterized by high-class ball. Califf pitched for Aberdeen while Jocko Thomas worked for the Butte team. Both men pitched marvelously and finished strong. Score: 3 to 3. LATE SPORTING EVENTS. To turn professional and that same day to receive a terrific beating and be knocked out cold in the fourth round was the fate of Eddie Johnston, the well known Spokane boxer. Johnston was given the sleep producer at Newport Saturday night and it was administered by Louie Long's trusty right. At Chicago George Sutton of Chicago defeated Willie Hoppe, 500 to 363, in the first block of 1500 points at 18.2 billiards. Whitman won the triangular track meet at Pullman, getting 52 points to 37 for the W. S. C. and 33 for the U. of I. It was a day full of surprises, Washington not winning a first, and Whitman taking but two seconds and one third. idaho won the relay race, edmundson being the star in all running events, while Philbrook of Whitman took first in every event he entered but one. The day was cold and raw, but more than 1500 people, fully 400 being Moscow, witnessed the events The first annual field meet and declaration contest of the public schools of Stevens county produced in the field meet what is claimed to be a world record in the 50-yard dash. The timers caught the time of Charles Wright of Colville, who won the race, at five seconds. The same Charles Wright was declared winner of the first prize in all field events, having 27 points. In the declaration contest Miss Tina Stalder of Kettle Falls was the winner Roy Schweitzer of North Fork won the second prize. Other contestants were Rachel McMillan and Grace Stewart of Colville, Viola Ross of Chewelah, and Edward McKay of Dalsy. The Chelan county inter-high school meet was pulled off at Wenatchee Saturday before a large crowd. Wenatchee lost two of its best men because they were not up in their school work and Louis Wapato, the Indian Chelan counted so strongly on, was just recovering from a two weeks' sickness and was unable to make his best showing in the long distance races Wenatchee won the meet with 59. Chelan got 43, Entiat 16 and Lakeside 2. Displaying remarkable reserve strength at the finish of a wearing run of 25 miles, Sidney R. Hatch of the First Regiment Athletic club of Chicago Saturday, for the third time, won the Missouri Athletic club's Marathon race and gained the right to represent America in the Olympic games at London this summer. Hatch made the 25 miles in 2:29:00 3-5, official time, breaking his own record of 2:39:26 for the same course. North Yakima has started a movement to assemble one of the fastest baseball aggregations in that section, to provide sport for the fans this year. The fourth annual interscholastic meet, to be held at the Washington State college May 7, 8 and 9, is exciting a great deal of attention from the high schools of eastern Washington. Earl Storer, the crack young athlete who won honors for the Lewiston high school, is a member of this year's class and will therefore be lost to the local school. Davenport carried off the honors individually and collectively, Saturday, at the Lincoln county school athletic meet at Harrington. The track was in poor condition and the record score low throughout. The attendance was large, most of the towns in the county being represented. STANDING OF LEAGUE TEAMS. Spokane City League. American League. New York ..... St. Louis ..... Cleveland ..... Philadelphia ..... Boston ..... Chicago ..... Washington ..... Detroit ..... DASTARDLY DEED PERPETUATED AT BUTTE. Two Engineers Killed and One Fireman Fatally Injured—Two Young Men Suspected of the Crime—$5000 Reward Has Been Offered for Guilty Person or Persons. Butte, Mont., May 3.—Youthful vandals are suspected by the officers as having dynamited the Overland Burlington Flyer Friday night as it was pulling into Butte. Charles Bussy and Charles King were killed and Fireman George Ehle fatally injured. The names of two young men are freely mentioned by the officers as the probable train wreckers. The fact that they ran away from their homes and that they recently stole a box of dynamite caps is being linked in the chain of evidence to connect them with the case. The officers are now busily searching every cabin and dugout for the boys within a radius of 10 miles. It is the belief of the local authorities that the dastardly deed was perplexed, not with any desire for revenge or loot, but simply for the exegetement that the wreck would create The deed is characterized by railroad men as the most fiendish in the history of western railroading. Apparently the perperators had planned to explode the dynamite under the coaches as they were passing, but the jar of the engines exploded the charge prematurely, or else the fuse was too short. The force of the explosion was terrific, being felt all over the lower portion of the city in the immediate vicinity of the wreck. A rancher living close to the track was thrown from his bed. Fish are scattered all over the wreck from the smashing of a fish car immediately following the engines. This car was reduced to simply a gigantic pile of kindling wood, bearing no semblance to a c.r. Engineer Bussy's body was rammed into the ground so hard that it was necessary to dig it out with shovels. After hearing the reports of the men who had examined the wreck and making a thorough investigation himself, Goodell stated that the wreck was undoubtedly due to the work of dynamiters and made the offer of $5000 reward. A big, square hole was cut in the end of the mail car, where King, the man who was stealing a ride, was virtually cut out. The end of the mail car was jammed against the end of the coal car, and here the axes were used to cut out the unfortunate man. He suffered terribly while the train crew worked desperately to release him. An empty flask beside the hole this morning showed how he had been stimulated with liquor. Whisky was given him every few minutes. One of his legs was crushed flat, but the man did not lose consciousness and never uttered a cry of pain. He died soon after reaching the hospital. The wreck is one of the most peculiar and startling that could be imagined. The south end of the mail car stands 25 feet above the rails and is leaning against the banks. It is considered fortunate that the wreck occurred in a cut where it did, or there might be a different story to tell. Third Victim. George Ehle, the fireman, died Sunday. The sheriff's office thus far has obtained no clue which might aid in tracing the parties concerned in the crime. Dynamiter Has Made Confession Lewis Ferris' a young man who was arrested as a suspect, has confessed that he dynamited the train. He was slightly wounded while being arrested as he tried to escape. He is 23 years of age. Ferris makes the confession without hope of immunity. He had hoped to secure loot from the demolished train, but fled when the explosion occurred on hearing the cries of the injured men. He stole 45 sticks of powder from a mine. He acknowledged he had tried to hold up the Northern Pacific at Welsh's spur recently. His mother admits he was always a bad boy. He lives about 100 yards from the scene of his crime. His parents are hard-working, honest people. LATE NEWS ITEMS. Rodney Olney, a young man about 30 years of age, son of H C Olney of Syokane, was drowned in Lake Pend d' Oresille, Idaho, last Wednesday night. He was fishing and the boat turned over.

George Rock, the murderer of Guard J. A. Robbison, deputy warden at the Montana penitentiary, has plead guilty to the charge of murder and begged the judge to accept his plea and hang him soon as possible. Horrible Crime Brought to Light Sheriff Butler of La Porte, Indiana, under the direction of John Heldgren of Aberdeen, S. D., dug in the ground near the wrecked home of Mrs. Belle Gunness, who, with three children, a week ago was burned to death in a fire which consumed her home. At the depth of four feet the body of Andrew Heldgren, who went to La Porte January 2 for the purpose of visiting Mrs. Gunness, was found. In another place the body of a woman was dug up which is thought to be that of Jennie Olsen Gunness, a 16-year-old girl whom Mrs. Gunness had reared and who disappeared in September, 1906, when it was said she had gone to Los Angeles to attend school. Andrew Heldgren was supposed to have started on a trip to Norway. He has never been heard of since Mrs. Gunness was trying to make a loan at the time and Heldgren offered to make the loan. She borrowed $1500 from him. Just before that Heldgren had drawn from Aberdeen through the La Porte bank $3000 When the news of the burning of the Gunness home was received by John Heldgren he started for La Porte to investigate the disappearance of his brother. Heldgren's body was found to dismembered and the arms, legs, trunk and head had been put in different sacks and buried. Officers of the law are confident that Ray Lamphere, a carpenter, now under arrest in La Porte charged with the murder of Mrs. Gunness and her children, knows of the Heldgren murder. Latest Report. Th situation ranks with the notorious crimes committed by Dr. Holmes of Chicago and the Bender family of Kansas. The grewsome developments of the farm have set the country agog. Long before Mrs. Guinnes acquired the place it belonged to Mattie Altc, and, well known as a resort, became an eyesore to the citizens of La Porte. Just as steps were about to be taken to have the place closed, Mattie Altc dropped dead in the doorway after a night of revelry. A seventh body has been dug up. It was buried four feet deep and was evidently that of an adult, but it is not yet decided whether it is that of a man or a woman. It had been dismembered. That more bodies will be found is the firm belief of the officers. It is thought Mrs. Guinness had accomplices in Chicago and that after prospective victims had been lured to that city to be robbed and murdered their bodies were shipped to La Porte in order to keep the Chicago police from gaining knowledge of the crimes. The identification of Andrew Helgelien is not positive. Mrs. Guinness' maiden name was Bella Raulson. She was of Norwegian descent, and in 1883 married Max Sorenson, a Swede, who died under suspicious circumstances. She later married Philip Guinness, who died, she claims, as a result of a sausage grinder falling on him in the kitchen of their home. Both carried life insurance aggregating $12,000. Eleven deaths was the total Thursday morning for which an explanation was being sought. This total includes two husbands of Mrs. Guinness, five bodies found Wednesday and the four bodies previously found. Some authorities think Mrs. Guinness is still alive. LATE NEWS NOTES. Edward H. Martin of Portland Ore., is under arrest in that city accused of the murder of N. Wolff, the pawnbroker and jeweler, who was so brutally murdered last week. It is alleged Martin threw away a bloody shirt and the same was found and by the clew of the laundry mark the crime was traced to him. Martin was a heavy user of both morphine and cocaine according to his wife's statement. Dr. A. Baker, acting superintendent of the hospital for the insane in New York, in his return to the writ of habeas corpus, denied the allegation in the petition of counsel for Harry K. Thaw that Thaw is sane, and alleges, on the contrary, that Thaw is insane. Major B. C. Kingsbury, a pioneer of Montana, Idaho and Washington and one of the original mining operators to enter those states, died Tuesday afternoon at his home, 2328 Second avenue, Spokane.

Kansas City, Mo., May 5—Clarence S. Darrow, who was the chief counsel in the defense of Haywood, Pettibone and Moyer of the Western Federation of Miners at Boise, Idaho, will defend Fred D. Warren, editor of the Appeal to Reason, whose trial on the charge of sending "scurrilous, defamatory and threatening" matter through the mails will take place soon.

The Appeal to Reason's reward indicated a desire to have ex-Governor Taylor kidnapped and taken from Indiana to Kentucky for trial for alleged complicity in the assassination of Governor Goebel.

COST OF BUILDING A CREAMBY. Continued from page 1 the case of cooperative creameries and excessive cost of building and equipment. Many creameries have cost about twice their actual worth, and were not of the type suited to the locality in which they were built. The cost of building about 28 by 48 feet will vary from $800 to $1,400 dependent upon the locality, the construction, and the cost of material and labor. Such a building usually consists of a main work roon, engine and boiler room (including space for refrigerator machine), coal room, refrigerator, store room and office. Machinery for a hand-separator plant, consisting of 15-horse power boiler, 10-horse power engine, combination churn with a capacity of 600 pounds of butter, and other neseccary apparatus, will cost approximately $1,200. Machinery for a whole milk plant will cost about $1,850. This equipment will handle from 1,000 to 1,200 pounds of butter per day. If a refrigerating machine is included the cost will be from $600 to $1,000 more. The total cost of creamery would therefore vary from $2,000 for a simple hand separator plant where labor and material are cheap, to $4,250 for a whole-milk plant including artificial refrigeration and a higher cost of labor and material. The Department of Agricultural is prepared to furnish information for the proper organization of creameries and cheese factories, and upon request will supply plan of organization, list of machinery, and plan for creamery. Correspondence should be addressed to the Dairy Division, United States Department of Agricultural, Washington, D. C.
