The War in Egypt.

Gen. Stone, for several years eomman-
der-in-chief OF the Egyptian army, was
asked in New York what he thought Of
the defeat Of Hicks PashA. He said:
/ am afraid Of the defeat sf Hicks Pas
has army means great danger TO Egypt.
i do no; believe that his army has been
annihilated as stated, bat that It has suf-
fered great defeat In my opinion, the
caase of the disaster was tha; a military
operation IVES undertaken with al utterly
inefficient force. Twas myself first desig-
mated, year ago last month, to under.
take the work of putting down Ell Mehdi,
and gladly accepted the service; but when
| Imads re9uisition for the force which
deemed necessary to accomplish the CO.
ject, t e ministers and English advisers
said that | required too much. and ]
could only say in reply that they mad bet
ter find some general Who could do the
work with less. Last uight, after read,ns
the account of the disaster, | looked over
my last year s.diary aud found tha, my
requisition was for % 900 Men of three
arms, including 5000 bashi- hazeuks, and
that estimate had been based on 4 full
knowledge Of the nature Of the country
and the force which the Mehdi was likely
to have at his disposal Ny estimate of
the means necessary included good steam
ers on the Nile above khartoum, which !
could easily have been provided. Had |
Hicks Pashs had such force as indica |
ted, he could have established a. Tir-el- |
Hadia, on the Left bsnk Of the Nile, near |
ly opposite FL 0beid, and eight easy
marches from 1t, a strong post as base
of supplies and operations, and then had |
men to make an effective campaign. The |
bad results OF the disaster can hardly BE- |
over esrimsted. The delay in attacking !
III MshdI in his stronghold last winter |
enabled him to increase his prestige and |
bis force, and now this victory viii give
him the undivided support of all kordo-
Ian, Darfo0r and Senaar. Shcu!d he .
capture khartoum, which is the great de-
pot Of supplies and the real capital OF the |
Souian, lie can, if a: ali an able mao,
peer DOWN hig forces on Middle and Low
er Egypt and make himself their mister
Esp. las not tie men nor the means
ncs to reeonqner the S,udan, and Eng
lIsh troops are not there IN sufficient |
numbers. The only thing waich seems
now 10 be done is tor the sultan to send a |
strong force of Turkish troops IN there
That, however, would mean the posses
sion Of Egypt by Turkey; Tor he who
holds all the resources Of the Soudan at
his disposal can surely conquer Egypt |
from the rear whenever II shall please
him.

Our Prospects.

tion suitable to Wall. Walla We give it en-

"a great many Of our people for the

the fact thas almost every other county

grants, SPECTATORS, adventures and for

SIX months, of the truth of the old adace
tha. appearances are frequently ceceiv-
iup," and that "booms" are treachercus-
Railroad towns that a year ago were tuli
of life and vigor and seeming prosperity,
and whose streets were crowded with men
seeking investment are, to-day, as dead
as salt raackerAl; the occupation OF the
real estate agent is gone; the fever has
subsided and hopeless prcstration has :cl-
lowed, and men who bought zeal estate
at large figures are unable to sell II NJ any
figures at all Al along the line Of the
Nor.hern Pacific, as soon as the consiruc-
tion was ended, the reaction commenced.
The patronage and AID that the builders
gave have, of course, been Withdrawn,
aud every place has To depend on It's osn
natural resources; and as many Of them
had no natural resources of course the re-
suit has been disastrous. The depression
Is even felt in the bgst t0wns. In Port
land, Seattle and Tacoma, hundreds of
mechanics ami Iaborers have been dis
charged. Car shops have been closed up
and the spirit Of retrenchmsnt and hard
times has commenced in earnest. But
klickitat mas had no excitement, no boom
and no patronage from the railroad compa-
ny. She has been movingslow but surely
onward and depending entirely upon her
own RESOURCES and the unaidei energies
of her people. The farmers have been
gradually improving their farms and
working out of debt and are getting lit

Do Gold Nuggets Grow:

All sorts Of the ,ries have been advanced
as 10 the gold deposits N the grsvoi ano
sands, and seriptural references have been
quoted ard show that gold is where you
find it; st.ll, while this is fact that can
not be doubted. the quotation from the
hrst verse to the Ssh chapter Of Job, or
" has reference as to where gold is melt
ed or refined; not where it is found. The
question then do gold nuggets grows

A Nibble Of Salt.

II horses, cattle, and sheep could have
