WHEAT.
SEATTLE, Sent.

SEATTLE, Sept 5, 1891.
To THE EDITOR: In the Posr-INTELLIGRNCER
OF the LIST the following item appears on the ed
itorial page:
natural outlet for the wheat cargoes of Eastern
Oregon and Washington is through the ports on
the sound, and no matter how much money the
Portlanders NAV spend to improve the Columbia
river, they can hardly hope to change the exist
ing condition OF things"
The wheat now being stored in the warehouses
and elevators of Seattle and Tacoma for foreign
shipment belongs to Portland parties, with the
exception of that which goes into the Northern
Pacific Elevator Company in Tacoma The lat
ter is owned and controlled by MINNEAPOLIS and
Eastern capitalists. Caesar Il Co. and Balfour
Guthrie & Co., of Portland, will ship three
fourths of the wheat from the Sound to foreign
markets this season, and the money for this wheat
Will go to Portland. All that Seattle gets out of
this wheat is the storage charges, amounting to
few cents per bushel. The banks of Portland fur
nish the money TO buy this grain, and the Port
land grain dealers make the profit, while Seattle
furnishes the granary at fair rental. Last sea-
son the Seattle Elevator Company were buviug.
but this season they are doing only storage
business. The largest part of the wheat raised
in Eastern Oregon and Eastern Washington in
tributary to the Union Pacific railroad This all
goes to Portland, and will continue 10 until thu
Union Pacific reaches the Sound. Add to this
tiIee-iodEths OF the wheat shipped to
the Sound and handled by Portland parties
aud you will see where the profits on the wheat
from Eastern Oregon and Eastern Washington
Will ind lodgment. ! understand that some
efforts have been made by Tacoma and SaattIa
parties to start grain shipping firms. Until se-
attic and Tacoma go into he field and buv this
wheat directly from the farmers, the Portland
capitalists Will be using their warehouses and
elevators. AS long as Portland gets the profit
out of the Sound wheat business they need not
worry ABOUT the Columbia river. f. Il

the adoption of the charter. and in order
to avoid any possibility of complica-
tons the council decided to meet
yesterday. The hour named, o'clock,
was not convenient for Mr.. VIII
cox, but it was found almost
impossible to get sufficient number at an
earlier hour. The House of Delegates
took their action, knowing nothing of Mr..
Wilcox's convenience. and asked the al
body was willing to do, with the one ex-
ception.
The House of Delegates assembled at the
hour agreed upon, but the aldermen could
not get q quorum, Messrs. Korn, Ingra-
ham and Bogardus being absent from the
city, and Mr.. Hall being disqualified while
acting as mayor.
The president pro tenn, Mr.. Miller, tele-
phoned the chief of police. asking him to
send an officer to bring Mr.. Wilcox in.
He complied, and Mr.. Wilcox accom-
panied him. He was present during the
discussion on the tax levy. but raised no
objection, and it was not until the
last moment that he declared his
intention to vote it down. Had
Mr.. Miller permitted the vote to be an
nounced before the motion to take recess
was put, the bill would have been defeated,
and there is no provision in the charter to
guide the council as to subsequent action.
The result must have been to plunge the
city into yexatious complications and pos
sibly costly litigation.
Mr.. Wilcox vouchsafes no explanation,
and it can only be assumed that his OBJ
stinacy was due to personal chagrin at be-
ing compelled to attend to his public duties
in preference to his private engagements.
The only response he could be induced
to make was that he could vote as he
liked That is true; he is responsible only
to his constituents and his own con-
science, and the people who elected him
must bear with HIM until the end of his
term.
1t will do no good to ''call him Names"
all that would seem appropriate readily
suggest themselves. but patience, not pro-
family, is the best policy.
1t is sad state of affairs that such as he
should have strayed into the paddock; but
there he is, and he has right to kick up
his heels for few months longer.

roe doctrine" means. for it certainly never
tied our hands, because it never was
a doctrine of national policy; it
was merely a Presidential declara-
ton uttered for q transient purpose.
All that President Monroe's message was
intended to affirm was the policy of inhibi-
ton against foreign colonization" hav-
ing reference TO the Northwestern country,
and intended to apply only TO founding
new colonies based upon priority of dis
coyerv and occupation, and secondly
against foreign interposition for the pur-
pose of depressing or controlling in any
other manner the destinies of the Spanish
colonies. Under the Monroe doctrine
there is not shadow of justification for
any interference with the Panama or any
other trans-isthmian canal.
The original declaration of President
Monroe was wise and seasonabIe to meet
a particular juncture of events, but it
ceased to be of any force when this crisis
passed away. The so-called Monroe
doctrine was repudiated by the vote of
congress in 1925 on the Panama Con-
gress Resolution" and the present popular
view of the Monroe doctrine is not con-
sistent with its original manifest intent
and spirit, and is entirely outside any
known principle of international law.
So far as our hands are tied at all today
on this continent by any obligations that
are not equally felt by the whole family
of nations, they are restrained by treaties,
like the treaty with England of 1918
which makes it impossible for us to have
navy on the great lakes and the st. Law
renee; or like the famous Clayton Bulwer
treaty, which last may be regarded as of
no real binding force, as Great Britain,
with the passing away of the crisis which
procured it. has repeatedly violated both
its letter and spirit, and the United States
has initiated her example.
If President Harrison meant anything
in particular, he doubtless referred to our
increase of marine trade with South
America and Europe, our hope to regain
something of our loss of the carrying trade
of the world, and our intention to increase
our navy and naval stations in the West
Indies and the Pacific, preparatory to con-
trolling the projected trans-isthmian water
ways from ocean to ocean, even as England
does the Suez canal But if we do all this,
it will not be because of or in spite of the
Monroe doctrine.

Elk Hunting I'm Pacific County.
South Bend Journal, Aug. Is.

South Bend JOurndI, Aug. 20
5. Noah and Theo Rixon went elk hunting
last Tuesday, and when about three miles from
the lattsr's claim and four miles from South
Bend, they separated and had gone but few
yards when they both saw a magnificent elk
grazing about sixty yards distant. They kept
watching and getting nearer, neither knowing
that the other saw him. When within
fifty yards both fred simultaneously, and
the elk dropped as If he had been struck
by lightning. both shots from their
45-caiiber rifles taking effect in his neck. They
brought the head, horns and neck to this city;
also Us pounds of tender meat. Mr.. Rixon will
have the head mounted and fixed up nicely for
his office. They could have killed another the
same day, but not having any means OF getting
out OF the woods with either meat or horns,
they made no further effort. If they did not
over estimate the weight of the animal, ii is by
far the largest elk ever killed in this county.

TWO LITTLE FEET.

Oh, life, so pI odigal of lifel
Oh, love and destiny at strifel
oh, earth, so full of busy feet
On, woods and hills and all things sweet
Was there no room amidst you ali
For two more feet, so soft and small2
Didst envy me, where thousands sing,
The one bird thatmade all my spring,
My dove that had so many ways
OF making beautiful life's days?
No rooml Or rather it may be
Earth was too small T. imprison thee.
God only knows. l know miss
Thy sweet caress, thy loving kiss,
The patter of thy dear small feet,
Thy hand is mine through lane and street;
While all that now remains to me
Is just precious memory.
Two little feet meath earth's brown sod,
Two white wings somewhere safe with God

Necessary to Marriage.

One evening during heavy rain-storm
loud knock was heard at the door of Pres
byterian clergyman residing in Harlem, New
York. On answering the summons the min.
lister was confronted by young man and
woman, the former of whom, after q great
deal of circumlocution, informed him that it
was their mutual wish TO be made one. Call.
ing in his wife and daughter as witnesses, and
waiting until the prospective bride had dried
herself by the fire, for she had appeared in
half.drenched condition, the clergyman ask.
ed the pair to rise and take each other by the
right hand. The ceremony was little more
than half completed, when the young woman
exclaimed: "Oh, wait minute" Retreat.
ing hastily behind large rocking chair, she
began fumbling in her pocket, and after con.
siderable Juggling and pulling, produced a
pair of white kid slippers. AS she seemed to
have great difficulty in unlacing her shoes,
the clergyman's wife kindly came to her as
sistance, and the exchange was at length eff.
fected. Meanwhile, the poor bridegroom's
face had changed to all sorts of colors from
red TO purple, and when the pair were finally
married, he said to the minister:
"Well, boss, l was a-goin' to give ye two dol.
lars but SEEM you're so good" with sly
glance at the minister's wife, "I'll give ye
three" From that day to this, the clergy
mans wife has always insisted that the extra
dollar was meant for her.

The Spirits Work in the Church.

The minister who would have his people
alive unto God must not forget for himself,
or let the worshippers forget, the dependence
on the Holy Ghost. How the little feeble
church at Jerusalem developed when the day
of Pentecost came! The Spirit makes the
message efectual, but it is the message that
He inspired in the Scriptures. He brings to
remembrance, but it is the things that Jesus
has spoken. Through him souls are born
into the kingdom, but the incorruptible seed
of the Word is the instrument. To do his
part in making and perpetuating live
church, a minister must preach the Word in
the house of God, in the houses of the people,
in his own tone, temper and life, and. withsl,
in entire dependence on the grace of the Holy
Spirit working in and with him. No minis
ter can write this down deliberately without
selEreproach and humiliation over his own
forgetfulness and failure. cannot; but it Is
the truth, and one must not try to bury it.

A Costly Thing.

A gentleman was walking in Regent Park,
London, and he met man whose only home
was the poor house. He had come to take
the air, and excited the gentleman's interest
ed attention.
well, my friend" said the gentleman, get
ting into conversation, "it is a pity that
man like you should be situated where you
are?"
The old man said he was eighty years of
"Had you any trade before you became

"Yes; was carpenter"
"Did you use intoxicating drinks?"

Chow much did your beer come 10 a
day"
20, sixpence day, suppose"
"For how long time"
"Well, suppose sixty years."
The gentleman had taken out his notebook,
and he continued figuring with his pencil,
while he went on talking with the man.
Now let me tell you," he said as he finish
ed his calculations, chow much that beer
cost you, my man. You can go over the
figures yourself" And the gentleman
demonstrated that the money at sixpence a
day, for sixty years, expended in beer, would,
if it had been placed at interest, have yielded
him nearly eight hundred dollars a year, or an
income of fifteen dollars a week, for support.
"See how how much a gallon of whisky

Lawyers are usually credited with possess.
ing accuracy of speech, but some expressions
recently reported indicate that they are capa-
BILE of laundering use of words. A lawyer
in New South Wales, in his opening speech
for the defence, said Gentlemen of the
jury, the case for the Crown is mere skele-
ton, q mere skeleton, gentlemen, for. as shall
presently show you, it has neither flesh, blood
nor bones in it."
A well known member Of the Victorian
Parliament informed the Supreme Court that
IAN oral agreement is not worth the paper it
is written on" But an Irish lawyer outdid
his competitors when he said fervidly: "Gen-
whether the defendant shall be allowed to
come into court with unblushing footsteps,
with the cloak of hypocrisy in his mouth,
and take three bullocks out of my clent's
Docket with impunity"

dressed to the treasurer, urging upon that
official not only to use all his influence in in
ducing the vestry to call Mr.. jackson, but to
impress them with the necessity ofimmediate
action in the matter, lest they lose him by de-
lay, as he has several calls under considera-
| ton, one to the city of New York, where he
was at that very time-and to expedite mat.
tiers, they give his address. There could, of
course, be but one result-namely, "Aug. 10,
1820-Rev. Mr.. Jackson is to be offered this
and Havre de Grace parishes, one year, at
$600-every third Sunday in Havre de Grace
in the morning, and two Sundays here in the
morning, and in the evening at whichever
church he may choose"
A year later it was Ordered that Nathan
Hughes have the westinghouse to keepa
school," In 1922 it was resolved to con-
tinue Mr.. Jackson one year, at $500, for two
Sundays in three" Also that "all the money
of the permanent fund be invested in the
Havre de Grace Bank, in stock"
"Jan'y IA, 1928, Rev. Mr.. Jackson inform
ed the vestry that he has call from Ches-
tertown, and unless we are more punctual he
must leave. The vestry say they would part
with great reluctance, but can do no more"
In May, 1926, it was ordered that 81 be
charged for the interment of any not parish
toner's. In the following December, sit being
reported to the vestry that the property of
the Parish at Trappe Chapel is wasting, ow-
ing to its great distance from the parish
Church. it is ordered that James W. Will
iams, james Lee, and Edward Chew be re-
quested to take charge of the property and
report at once the situation. The Rev. J.
Reynolds is appointed Rector of this Parish
for one year at $780,"
1t was ordered in May, 1926, that "the fence
on the east side of the church-yard be extend
ed to the limits of the church ground" Also
that "a speedy foreclosure be made on the
land of Rev. Mr.. Allen;" and in the follow
ing February, that title be obtained to the
same property. Three months later the YES
try received SAIL, part of mortgage on
Rev. Mr.. Aliens land, which at this time was
tenanted by George Gillem.
REV. Mr.. Reynolds, on being informed
that he cannot be continued on the present
terms, says he accords, and dissolves con-
nection." In the following October, it was
resolved that he be engaged for six
months on the same terms as before. But |
few weeks later "the vestry having examined |
into the funds again, annul the contract of |
October, and agree to give $3.50 year for
six months, and more if possible
