promise Of a coming glory soon to
be revealed to us. AT 10 the sky
was clear, and we were nearing tho
mouth Of the ford. At IL the cap
tain stopped the steamer in the boy,
where the
MOUNTAINS STOOD APART
and the channel between stretched
clear to the horizon. Over this
channel stood the sun, shining in
unobstructed view. The hour at
last had ccme; natures sublimest
miracle was before us with tho
glory Of u thousand transhgura--
tions. A small island stood mid
way In the channel. It's top came
just In line with the horizon. Ono
Of the departing clouds had lodged
upon 1t. 1t lay down and stretched
itself upon the back Of this rock like
thing Of life. The sun stood
beyond 1t in the north,
and as 1t poured Its light
through the open channel
the body of the cloud was trans
formed Into tho softest frosted silver,
and the edges were wrought into
FURNISHED gold, and the rock itself
seemed as the gilded throne of a ce-
lestlal queen. Meanwhile the noun
talns on either side of the opening
had caught the glory, and the wa
ter between glinted and shinmered
and flashed with the golden light as
far as tho eye could reach. Tho
channel became u colossal gate and
way of gold fit for the entrance of q
god.
A SUBLIME SPECTACLE.
We were encircled with the most
magnificent mountain ranges. A
thousand peaks stood out against
the sky; countless snow fields, gla-
ciers and waterfalls were uplifted
OH the surrounding heights; all
these were bathed In the purple and
the crimson and the orange and the
gold of the midnight sun, and ID
seemed that we we're In the center
of world that had been caught up
and transiigured In the glory Of
God.
There were several sun-glasse sused
by the passengers to give ocular
demonstration of the power of tho
midnight sun. Letter paper, postal
cards, etc, were perforated by the
converged rays as souvenirs of tho
place. Another tourist steamer
ON its upward journey came upon
the scene, drew alongside of us and
enjoyed the sublime spectacle.
AS the two steamers parted they
saluted each other in royal style,
and as cannon answered cannon
1t seemed as though hundred
peaks answered back the echo. The
two steamers parted, going in ex-
actly opposite directions--one to the
south, the other to the north. Most
wonderful night, this, of all our
journeys, If night can be called
night when it is moro glorious than
day.

GREAT WE'RE THE HITTITEs.
ProhIos of An Ancient People Carried
in Stone.
TChicago Tribune,

The great people known as Khiti
(Hittites) in the Hebrew and as
Khita in Egyptian, who existed
hundreds of years before Christ,
formed a powerful state in North
Syria and and on the Euphrates,
from Lebanon to the Great river, be-
ing all of it "the land of the Hit
tites." Their appearance was
peculiar; always beurdless, with
very retreating foreheads running
back into pointed head, thus
forming q considerable angle be-
tween the lower part of the face and
the upper, with very deeply marked
facial lines or wrinkles down the
sides of the mouth, and with the
forehead often, perhaps always,
shaven. A long tail of hair hung
down behind, and in some cases
1t appears to have been double,
az two masses, one on each
side of the face, are seen in some
front views. Their portraits, as
seen on their monuments, lately dis
covered in Northern Syria, are strik-
ingly like the representations of
them on the Egyptian monuments.
This people maintained q military
supremacy in North Syria for many
centuries. With Rameses the Great,
400 B. c., they were at constant
war, defying the strength of the
Egyptians, who very narrowly es-
capped crushing defeat. Their
powers were so nearly equal that ut
last IA long treaty was made with
honorable stipulations on both sides,
and the daughter of the Hittite
king became u wife of Rameses IL,
This treaty, however, does not APP
pear to have been the first, US Others

Hill will leave Spokane Falls aud
the entire northern district, and
pierce the rich mining belts of the
Salmon and Wood river countries,
attracted by "the fine bolts of timber
and the unlimited agricultural and
pastoral resources of the rich plains
and valleys, and the mild climate
and Eden-like fertility and beauty of
Southern Idaho.n
This paper reasons that while the
route through the Cnur d'Alenes
and via Spokane Falls would
traverse u rich field, that section Is
already pretty we'll filed by the
Northern and Union Pacific. Rail-
road men and the general public In
this section had about reached the
conclusion that the line was to come
In through the Kootenai country but
according to the foregoing informa-
tion, 1t will come through tho Cnur
d. 'Alenes or not at all. This will cer-
talnly be news to Mr.. Hill.
The Statesman continues: ITO
60 further north would take the
road through u comparatively sterile
aud sparsely settled region. There
remains in that direction the Lolo
route, crossing the Bitterroot mount
aims between AIissoula, Montana,
and the tributaries of the Clearwater
river, which would bring the road
through Lewiston In Northern
Idaho. Both the Union and the
Northern Pacific companies have
expended large sums and devoted
much time in explorations and sur
veys in this rugged mountain re-
gion without satisfactorily solving
the question of the existence of II
practicable route for railroad. The
mountains are high and rugged and
the wild country to be traversed is
not known to be rich in mineral re-
sources. There are immense bodies
of splehdid timber, but this of itself
would hardly be u sufficient induce
ment to compensate for the known
engineering difficulties, the broad
belt of deep SHOWS and the unin-
iAopiNVp FoiituuC W pt "
In this connection tho REVIEW
recalls an old tradition, long current
about Lewiston, that the existence
of an easy pass through those rug
ged ranges was once known TO white
men. But the secret, well guarded
for many years, became lost, and
now no eye can pilot and no foot
can guide railroad engineers to the
long lost pass. For a long while the
Northern Pacific offered standing
reward for the discovery of this pass,
whose existence seems so clearly es-
tablished by the testimony of reput-
able witnesses who have seen it, but
whose efforts to guide exploring par
ties into the lost canyons have ever
resulted In disappointment.
Who'll be the next to claim the
Great Northern? Perhaps the next
we hear of the line it will be sky
larking around In Alaska.

present were DIR. N. q. Blalock, OF
Walla Walla, president; f.. G. Fer
guson, of Snohomish, vice presi-
dent; II. b. Cushing, of Tacoma,
secretary; l.. II. Grimes, of Ellens-
burg; +. Lewis Clark, of Spokane

Coffman, of Chehalis; G. b. Hop
klns, of Spokane Falls, United
States commissioner; Percy w.
Rochester, of Seattle, by proxy, and
f.. $. Meany, press agent OF the

The special committee, consisting
of f. l.. Clark, j. Nj. Hill and f..
S. Meany, which had been APP
pointed to devise the best means of
dividing the work of collecting and
storing the exhibits, reported, rec
ommending that the association
employ G. w. Robinson, at pres
ent the manager of the North
western Industrial Exposition, as
general superintendent of the work
In this state, and, in case he could
competent man be engaged.
1t also recommended that conn
missioners be appointed for the diff
ierent departments who should
work under the general superinten-
dent, and, together with that OIL
cal, be subject to the executive COM
mittee.
That portion of the special COM
mittee's report referring to the divls-
ion of the work into departments
was accepted, but was made subject
to change by the general superin-
tendent as he may from time to
time find 1t necessary. The depart
nents as they now stand are twelve
in number as follows;
1-Agriculture.
2-Horticulture and vitlculture.
3-Mines.
4-Timber.
5-Manuiactures.
6-Pictorial collections.
7--Educntion.
S-Fish and game.
0-Commerce, including geo.
graphy, topography, autobiography
and meteorology.
lO-Curios and relics.
ll-Trutflc and transportation.
l2-Statistics.
The report was received with few
amendments and the chairman was
directed to appoint committee of
three to walt upon Mr.. Robinson
and invite him to appear before the
executive committee to-day, both in
order to make the acquaintance of
the gentlemen composing II and to
offer them his views "a the best
method of taking hold of the work
In II systematic manner.
Other matters regarding the trans
portation and cooperation of rail-
roads were duly considered, and the
secretary instructed to communicate
with the various railroads of the
state, asking their cooperation and
assistance in whatever manner they
were able to offer It.
The secretary was also instructed
to memorialize the United States
commissioners, through our state
commissioners, to acquire separate
site for the exhibit of Washington
products, whereon the state pro
poses to erect a magnificent exhibi-
ton building, constructed, in so far
as possible, from materials obtained
within its boundaries.
The committee then adjourned to
meet to-day at 10 O'clock A. NJ.

OAKsDALE, Oct. l5.-Two men giving
the names OF Jesse Smith and Frank
Richardson we're given ten minutes no.
tice to leave town yesterday evening by
the vigilance committee, and they
obeyed the warning. They had been in
some crooked business Monday night,
and were Dragging of their pickpocket
abilities.
The REVIEW special of the 18Th, from
this place, in regard TO the convent ton
OF independents carries the idea that 1t
is move of Oaksdale citizens, and the
people want it understood that they are
not alone in the matter. The following
resolutions were adopted on Monday
night:
Whereas, A clique are building a cost
ly ana extravasunt courthouse against
the expressed will of the people of the
county with the apparent and avowed
purpose Of holding the entire territory
now embraced within the lines of Whit

A FINE DEJIOCRA 7,IC HAN

The Tacoma News seems to be-
edited by sort of journalistic Ish-
maelite, whose hand is against
every body, and who imagines that
everybody's hand is against his.
The News man is strong when
doing what the boys style the
"baby act" His ability is great
when 1t comes to whining about the
wrongs of Tacoma and weeping
over the way she is treated by her
sisters. Read his paper awhile and
you will come to look upon the
proud City of Destiny as a red-eyed,
abused, weeping Cinderella, whose
woes are really too great to be en-
dured, and who is eXpectantly wait
ing for some proud prince of fortune
to come along with big slipper
and larrup the bad sisters for their
heartless behavior.
The News is printed six times
every week. Mondays and Wednes-
days it devotes to long editorials Ga
sample of which Is printed in
another column) giving Spokane
particular fits for her shabby treat
ment of Tacoma and for being so
inconsiderate rs to look with II
friendly eye At Seattle. On Tues
days and Thursdays the News con
centrates its energies upon an at
tempt to show that Portland Is II
bad sister, with grass luXurating
in her streets and the "green moss
growing ali round, all round" The
remainder of the week Is spent in
lampooning Seattle, and when the
editor feels particularly grleved, he
pitches into Fairhaven, Port Towns
end and other Northwestern cities.
To listen to his tale of woe, one
would imagine that the energetic
city of Tacoma has not a friend OH
earth TO wipe her weeping eyes, and
that all the cities of the Pacific
Northwest are conspirlng against
her politically, commercially and
socially. OF course that is only the
dyspeptic conception of constitu-
tional wilmer. Spokane feels just
as warmly toward Tacoma as toward
Seattle, nor will she he so
narrow-minded or foolish as
to fall into the error of TAX
ing the complaint of the News
AS fair reflection of public senti-
ment at Tacoma. The reader who
may feel sufficient interest in the
wall that appears in another column
will observe that the News is remon-
strating with its own citizens for
returning home and enthusiastically
declaring that the exposition was II
great success. 1t Is not happy it.
self, and regards everybody who Is
happy as inconsiderate and lacking
in proper spirit.
But the animus of the entire two
column lamentation Is exposed in u
single sentence, covered by great
mass of verbiage, but still glaringly
apparent. The News is democratic.
To resent the fancied grievance OF
Tacoma, II urges all Tacomans tc
vote against Wilson, who is s5po.
kane mau and n republican, and fol
Carroll, who Is Tacoma man and G
democrat.

planning article, not because Il is i'm
