The following article originally appeared in the Western Independent v. 3, no. 9 (June 1905), a periodical produced by the People's University in Olympia. I am not able to reproduce the excellent graphic accompanying this piece. Shortly after this article was written, Henry McCleary purchased this locomotive and used it in on his logging railroad , which ran from McCleary to Eld Inlet, near the spot where present-day Route 101 splits off from State Highway 8. Today this locomotive, nicknamed "Dink" or "Dinky," is on display in McCleary's Beerbower Park and is considered the 2nd oldest locomotive in Washington State. The McCleary Museum has a motion picture of this very locomotive in action during the final years of it's active service in the 1930s.:

A Ride On Jameson's Logging Train ...

Four or five times a day a short but strong little locomotive comes down out of the timbered Black Hills, bringing with it several cars loaded with logs. The logs are dumped into the Sound at the head of Eld's Inlet, and then Engineer Switer toots the whistle, Fireman Stearnton rings the bell and the little locomotive begins to climb back up among the Black Hills, pushing the empty logging cars before it to Jameson's camp, seven and a half miles from the landing.

In the run-up to the G8 Summit next week, tens of thousands of anti-G8 protesters, with several thousands on the Black Bloc alone, took part in the international demonstration in Rostock on 2 June, 2007. With colourful banners and puppets, protesters of different backgrounds tried to draw attention to the bigger problem of capitalism and the 'empire'. Police was very aggressive and provocative, using batons, water cannons and tear gas, not only against the 'bad protestors' but 'normal' ones as well. Violent confrontations were taking place while, on stage, the concert and speeches were trying to continue. Over 100 people were arrested and many injured on both sides.

Most tendencies within anarchist circles have a narrow conception of what exactly makes an anarchist, what an anarchist project is, and what the transformation to an anarchist world will look like. Whether Green or Red, Communist or Individualist, Activist or Critical, Anarchists spend as much time defending their own speculative positions on these complicated issues as they do learning what others have to offer—especially other anarchists.

As a result many find that they would prefer to do their projects, political and social, outside of anarchist circles. Either they do not think their particular project is interesting to anarchists but believe it’s important none the less (as in most progressive activism) or they do not particularly enjoy the company of anarchists and the kind of tension that working with anarchists entails. Both reasons are almost entirely accountable to the deep mistrust anarchists have of other anarchists’s programs.

Once upon a time there was an anarchist call for “Anarchism without Adjectives,” referring to a doctrine that tolerated the co-existence of different schools of anarchist thought. Instead of qualifying Anarchism as collectivist, communist, or individualist, Anarchism without Adjectives refused to preconceive economic solutions to a post-revolutionary time. Instead, Anarchism without Adjectives argued that the abolition of authority, not squabbling over the future, is of primary importance.
