A Revelation to Those Who Saw Il Z
the First Time.

A Revelation TO Those Who Saw II fer
the First Time.
Three coach loads Of excarsionists mum.
bering something over 100 people vent up
70 Monte Cristo yesterday morning and
returned In the evening. The excursion
was given BY the Seattle. Lake Shore
Eastern road TO the members OF the Cham
Der OF Commerce and the business men OF
this city. and the party was conducted by
Mr.. II. A Allen. chief clerk OF the traffic
department. The train left the city at
g. m. and ran through both ways promptly
on schedule time. The excursionists en-
joyed the ride and the scenery immensely.
The day Was perfect, the track in excellent
condition and the scenery grand. For
about twenty miles after leaving Getchell,
on The Lake Shore road, where the train
changed engines. the line runs through Q
pretty open valley and the remainder Of
the distance is continually through vast
gorges IN the canyons of the Stillaguamish
and Sank rivers.
There were no receptions along the line
or at Monte Cristo, and when the party
arrived at the terminus . hssty lunch was
partaken Of from baskets or at hotels, and
the three ensuing hours were devoted 20
inspecting the city of sixty rude frame
houses. the mammoth eight-story concen-
traitor, ore crusher and ore bins, the mons
ter cable tramways, which look Ike
gigantic spider webs reaching from the
valley TO the mountain tops None OF the
visitors went up TO the mines, which are
apparently located amid the everlasting
SHOWS of the very peaks.
Monte Cristo is about 2.6o0 feet higher
than Seattle, and In going thither very
percepsible difference in climate is noted,
aii the changes from midsummer 70 the
breaking of winter being experienced
Within the town the snow, which in vim
ter accumulates to the depth of thirty or
forty feet, has almost disappeared, al
though there are shady spots where banks
Of the once beautiful three and four feet
deep can be found The peaks all around
are covered with snow, and vegetation is
just beginning to put on q spring-like
garb. The scenery is sublime in its rugged
grandeur, ard one stands amazed at the in
finite audacity the men who have essayed
to rob these ggantic cliffs of the vast
treasure they have hitherto been so able
TO guard. The stupendous character of
the enterprise which seeks to develop
this rich region cannot be described. Ii
must be seen. Its projectors have brushed
aside the impenetrable forest; they have
ignored the mighty torrent; they have
successfully opposed the irresistible
avalanche; they have pierced mighty
barriers of rock. and they have swarmed
over inaccessible peaks and are driving
the sword of progress into the very heart
OF lmpregnability.
After three hours spent in enjoying the
glories of the view presented and compre-
bending the vastness of the work accom-
plished and yet to be done, the excursion
lists started on their homeward journey at
2:30 and returned to the city at z: Is p. m,
well pleased with the trip.

THE WRIT WAS IRREGULAR
Grounds on which Lee Fook Bows Al
legged Perjury IL Denied.

0rcunda on w Mon Lee Eook BOWS Al
legged Perjury Is Denied.
The trial of Lee Fook Bow, the
trance Chinaman, tor perjury in con-
nection with the habeas corpus pro-
ceedings to get his alleged wife
into the United States. was begun before
Judge Hanford in the United States court
yesterday and was interrupted by the
raising of some legal points by the pris-
oner's counsel which the judge took un-
der Amusement.
United States Commissioner James @.
Swan, of Port Townsend, testified as to
the facts to which Lee Fook Bow testI-
fed TO before him at the preliminary
hearing in his wife's case, namely
that the woman was his wife and
was born in San Francisco twenty-five
years ago; also that the man swore to
these statements through an interpreter
Immigration Inspector Thomas NJ. Fisher
gave similar testimony. but said that the
prisoner gave his evidence in English.
AT this point the prisoners attorney
raised the point that petition for a writ
of habeas corpus must be sworn to by the
person himself and not by any other per-
son on his behalf, while the petition which
formed the basis of this charge was sworn
TO by Lee Fook Bow on behalf of his
alleged wife, so that the court had nc
right TO hear il. He contended
that the petition not being sworn
to, IS the law requires, nc
perjury could be committed in any in.
vestigation under it. On these grounds
he moved to strike the first three count.
in the indictment and Judge Hanford
took the motion under advisement until
tomorrow afternoon.

lieves that this state OF affairs is injurious TO
municipal government and municipal reform,
for the reasons:
First-The candidate selected for city Office
is chosen for party expedlency only.
Second-The candidate is invariably pledged
to build up and strengthen party organization
at the expense of taxpayers.
Thrd-Tbe voter on election day does not
exercise his best judgment as to the fitness of
the candidate, but simply votes for the nominee
as one Of The standard bearers OF a national
party. Washington in his farewell address
warned his cOuntrymen against the Dangers OF
party spirit These dangers are common alike
to the municipal rule of both national parties.

torney's Office to that of the fearful Boss
McKane of San Francisco.
The searchlight of Non-Partisan investi-
CATION was then turned from Buckley and
flashed for a second or two on Boss
Burns.
''You will find that Boss Burns is the
chief offender against San Francisco" said
one of the speakers. with Mr.. Buckley
lie has entered into a contract to deliver
you gentlemen over to him. You gentle
men, just think of it. Look at Burns pub
lie record. Look at him as County Clerk
of Yolo County, See him as Secretary of
State. 1 viii state here that everything
about that man is disrepntable as far as he
was public official"
! And Mr.. Burns now, it was shown, by
the gift of Governor Markham, was Po-
| lice Commissioner of San Francisco. The
speaker rather gathered from it all that
! Boss Burns was hardly fit man, in the
face of such record, to have such
power.
Il tell YOU, gentlemen !" thupdered
Franz j. Sullivan. "that the rule of the
two kings, Buckley and Burns, will grind
you to the dust. Will you submit to it !?
l think not!
A loud chorus of mo! no." gave the
speaker the assurance he sought, that the
kings would be deposed and boss rule
tram pied under foot, where it belonged.
When Barclay Henley, candidate for
District Attorney, took the platform the
enthusiasm knew no bounds. The coun-

pectations had been fulfilled.
They crowded the pit and they filed the
galleries in the brilliantly lighted hall.
They thronged the aisles and raised stand
ing room to a premium in the corridors.
They were a good-looking, clean, intell-
gent lot Of people. none of the riff-raff or
the ag-and-bobtail which dogs the
heels and echoes the footsteps of tyrant
bosses. Their faces lit up with approving
smiles as they looked toward the stage
and saw suspended there the golden
legend, Good Government" meath the
waving stars and stripes, and as the vice
presidents of tue meeting and the members
of the committee Of twenty-five took their
seats on the platform the immense audi
ence broke forth into the most enthusi-
astic applause, for all the world as if a
confident populace was cheering Oh its
champions to victorious battle.
There was no attempt on the part of anv
speaker to soar into the empyrean for
words 20 convey his meanings; there were
no flights of oratory, no involved figures of
speech. The most simple English was
found TO be all that was necessary and the
conversational tone prevailed entirely
The people had not gone there particularly

Charles A. Laton called the meeting to
order. He said that the Nom Partisan
party had taken great pains to select candi-
dates for the municipal ticket who could
be certain of success at the coming cleo
ton, and he had no doubt that result
would ensue. Hearty applause greeted his
brief address
He introduced Frank Sullivan, who de-
livered a vigorous denunciation of bossism
and the corruption of machine politics.
The speakers arguments were effective
and convinced his audience of the merit
and necessity of the Non-Partisan move
ment
Frank Sullivan spoke as follows:
