The piece condemns opposition press over repealing the eight hour law and urges workingmen to stay away during the Slocan strike.

A long reminiscence extols old miners who crossed the Missouri to seek wealth on the western frontier and pave the way for others, celebrating their hardship and empire-building in the Pacific states.
