their members if they would spend
their reserve fund in shipping young
men westward than in maintaining
them in idleness to watch a strike. If
vine-fifth of the 225,000 miners who are
threatening to strike would come
westward where thousands of miles of
railroad will lie under construction
during the next two or three years
md where unlimited opportunities

Kocky mountains to the Yukon river
they would soon settle the question of
wages, which in spite of artificial in
terferences is finally governed by the
law of supply and demand. The men
who stayed behind would have to be
better paid and those who might come
westward would find opportunities
which the east will never offer.

Wardrobe Goes for l£gg Bill
New York —As leading lady in the
“California Belles" company Miss
Helen J. Turner returned to Jersey
City, her birthplace, with the avowed
i intention of carrying the place by
storm. She was met by an old judg
ment secured against her when she
was in the butter and egg business and
i lost all her scintillating wardrobe with
the exception of her tights.
Years before Miss Turner dreamed
of being a theatrical star she ran a
little butter and egg shop in Jersey
City. The egg business became bad.
, There was a long run of good shows in
town and Helen owed 464.98 to a firm
of middlemen w-hen she left with a
theatrical company.
The actress had given the matter
little thought, as she steadily advanced
in her art, and the event which de
prived her of her wardrobe was most
embarrassing to her.

The marine reporter of the Post-In
telligencer says in the issue of March
11 that “some concern” was felt In
Seattle as to the fate of the bark Ferris
Thompson which sailed for Seward Feb
ruary 12 with lumber. Inasmuch as
the bark Ferris Thompson on the day
stated had been safe in Seward harbor
two weeks and is hero yet it is to be
hoped t hat the young reporter has since
heard from her and has ceased to worry.
