RiDEBEAL'S TANNERY â€" messas. R AND KITCHENBR‘S excer- SIOR AND VENEER WORKS :‘There is not an idle man in this town" said an employer of labor one day recent- ly, and his statement is verified by the experience of others who have. needed help. No doubt the extensive public works now being carried on, account in a large measure for this prosperity among the laboring men, and this is a fine Object lesson of the truth that public works properly conducted do not in reality cost the town very much, since the money is again distributed among the citizens for material or labor. If this was always kept in mind a good deal of the opposition t) needful enterprises would be removed ; It is not to the public works alone, how- ever, that this scarcity of idle men is due. There have sprung up new demands for labor on all sides. The mills are running at doubled capacity and some of them double time. The railway activity at this centre employs more men than ever. and perhaps still more. the three new indus- tries that have recently located here, have to do with the prosperity Of labor in this town. THE NEW TANNERY. Mr. R. M. Beal is carrying on operations at the Old paper mill site, that convince the beholder that he isplanning big things. For weeks men, teams, scrapers and num- erous other instruments for removing earth, have been at work, until now there is an excavation 180 feet long by 40 wide, with adepth of six feet on one side and cutting down the face of a 14-foot embankment on the other. At the bot- tum Of this cutting the Messrs. Growden are building a two-foot wall from the 80- cord stone pile on the bank above. This will be the foundation for the main build- ing 0‘.

People going past the brewery of late but e noticed the yard plentifully decorated wi: h piles of beer barrels, and have. caught the pungent odor of boiling white Warh. The meaning Of it all was that Mr. J. F. x “ ' o ... heard in that campaign, or in former ones. such men as Chauncy M. DepeW, Carl Schurz. Bourke Cochran, James G. Blaine and Schuyler Colfax, but Ingersoll sur- passed them all. On that occasion he addressed 40,000 people, and though I stood ten rods from him' in the great tent, I could hear him readily. Ingersoll came of good old English stock, and knEw it. I had always an aversion to him and his ideas up to the Venezuelan war-scarce, excited by Grover Cleveland four years ago. When it seemed to me, and to many other British-born citizens, that trouble was going to come, and while even the blatant Rev. Talmage, the most over-rated manin this country,w:+s landing Cleveland’s action, the words of 1ngersoll rang out and put the militant divine to shame. Said he: “I would not give the life of one American or one English soldier for all the swamps in Venezuela." He was active in allayin g the excitement that then swept over this country like fire, and I have not forgotten his disinterested ser- vice. His stand in that affair was fre- quently noted in contrast with some of the most prominent representatives of the church. His father was a congregational minister of liberal ideas, and was, on that account, constantly in trouble with some Of his members. In an age like this, when men. more than ever before in the world’s history, weigh the words of public men, read between thelines and think forthemselves, when, more and more, the religion of Jesus is found to place salvation on per- sonal north and character, and less and less on whata man's opinion on this dogma or that may be, I believe it will be found that when the great omniscient Keeper of accounts strikes a balance from Ingersoll’s ledger, he Will have something to his credit in the admitted purity of his life, sincerity of his thought, and his love for peace.

May 19th, 1899. Dear Sister,â€"Well, the trouble will soon be over here and I am pretty sure to get my discharge before the rainy season sets in. In fact I will be relieved as soon as recruits from San Francisco can arrive here. Our regiment left Cavile last Christ; mas .day and were supposed to come to this island and relieve the Spanish garri- son here, but before we arrived in the bay the Spanish surrendered to the Filipinos who had been trying to capture this place; for eight or nine months. Of course, this was a new contingency that the American general had not anticipated, as the Fili- pinos had possession of the city and had taken the place from the Spaniards and were. behaving like a civilized army policing the town and keeping good order: the .American general hesitated about landing. I think the Spanish commander here anticipated this result when he sur' rendered to the Filipinos. We laid in the bay forty five days negotiating with the “Kackiacks” about the surrender of the town to the American forces, but the natives remained stubborn. To clinch the matter an order came from Manila to General Miller to immediately occupy Iloilo. We were to land on the 12th of February, but the attack was hastened by the Filipinos firing on the gun-boat “Pcti e1.” The “Boston” opened up with a six inch shell, which was the signal for clouds of smoke to burst up in all parts of the town -the natives had fired the town- short distance of shore. m : re soldiers.
