The customary Labor Day celebrations and gatherings were featured generally by speeches assailing the injunction. ! In some cities, notably Chicago, the usual labor day programs were dispensed with entirely.

Although their conference was originally set to be+| gin next Saturday, the American Federation of Labor leaders planned to take possession of a private suite in a hotel in Atlantic City tomor- row.

While union leaders were berating the Daughtery. injunction in labor gatherings the industrial situation was dealt with by’speakers of a dif-). ferent. calling elsewhere. Notable examples of these were the speeches of Secretary of Labor Davis at Moosehéart, - Ill, and Edward J. Brundage; attorney general of: Mil- neis, at a gathering of republicans jdentified with the Brundage wing of the party in Illinois. Secretary Davis declared “no gib- bet can: be built too high for those who execute such dastardy deeds as the deliberate wrecking of a tran at Gary.” Growing List of Outrages The holiday ‘period was not with- out its contributions to the growing list of outrages incident to the rail- road strike. A bomb was thrown on the porch of the home of H. M.

On how much is found in this old working, which is about 350 feet long, depends the time it will take the diggers to get through to the! 75 feet of quartz that separates the shaft from the Argonaut mine shaft.

GILMORE T0 MAKE RECORDS OF INDIANS Dr. Melvin R. Gilmore, curator of! the State Historical Society will ob-' serve and make records of another of the ancietn tribual customs of North Dakota’s Indians tomorrow. At a point near Elbowoods with the nearest train point at Garrison, at a point known as Armstrong School House, Dr. Gilmore and his associ- ates will meet a number of the Arikara Sioux. Dr. Gilmore is a little bit at a Joss for a term which will fitly de- scribe the ceremony. It is in fact a-recognition of the entity of the child. The Indians, according to Dr. Gilmore have called the ceremony @ christening or baptism since they have learned of this ceremony from the whites. In Dr. Gilmore's opin- ion the nearest description of the ceremony is in the language of the Omaha's, whose word denotes “the turning of the child.” The ceremony, of which record will be made in several ways and by several people, denotes the introduc- tion of the child to the four quart- ers of the universe, or the planting of his feet in the pathways that lead out into the world, contained in In- dian legend and tradition in the four quarters, north, east, south and west.

Some extensive changes were made by the state board of equalization in attemepting to get the assessments of the different public utilities, of the state on ‘an equal basis, all things in the legal boundaries of such acts being considered. The largest increase in valuation made by the board was that of the Electric Light Plants in Morton county. The board assessed these at 200 per cent higher than they had been returned by the assessor and the Morton County board. Ward county received an increase of 100 per cent aWove the figures set by the board. In some individual cases the as- sessments were changed, the assess- ed valuation of the Bismarck Water company being raised 10 per cent, while the Bismarck Gas company was reduced 45 per cent, Both of these organizations are owned by people not residents of Bismarck. No changes were made in the fig- ures approved by the county boards in Cass, Grand Forks, Ramsey, Rich- land, Stark and Stutsman, JAPANESE. Figured silks with a strong Jap- anese influence in the figures are made into frocks with very wide flowing sleeves and practically no broken lines, The low waistline is secured by a loose girdle of the ma- terial. dents of today, It abounds in gun- fights, gambling, and _ spectacular incidents of all ‘sorts but none of them are fiction—each one is an hon- est-ta-goodness real fact. The first election can scarcely be called a “dignified solemn proceeding” or particularly judicial—but it’s cer- tainly entertaining, and when the first missionary preachers hold the first religious ceremony in the. big gambling tent and the faro banker cashes the chips dropped in the col- lection, you gasp and wonder what's coming next. i This episode is guaranteed to keep everyone wide-awake throughout, and when it closes with the coming of the railroad you are going to think it was about time for a gail- road to get here. The gentlemen of the Rotary and others in the act are practicing diligently and can de counted upon to put the right kick in it—to ease‘the minds of the pubtic t may be said that the shooting will be done with blanks and the froth is only fake—but there’s nothing to hinder you from imagining your- selves back in the “Good old Days” when you could never tell whether you were the target for the 6-shooter of the fellow behind you or the one coming across the street.
