Recently the Post-Intelligencer pub.
lished an editorial in regard to Chehalis
county's Indebtedness, which placed the
county in very bad light. The HERALD
called attention to the inaccurices upon
which it was predicated and asked that
amends be made, whereupon the Post.
Intelllgencer showed the broad gauge
character OF a great newspaper by
promptly giving equal publicity to true
statement, closing with the following
$50 far as ChehaIis county herself is con.
cerned, a knowledge of her vast and
varied resources, with the fair future and
substantial growth they promise, ought
to convince anyone that were her in.
debtedness twice as large the county
would be able to pay it to a cent on the
day Of maturity"

CAUSE OF GOLD DRAIN.

We are glad to see SO great a paper as
the Seattle Post-Intelligencer stop cavil.
ling on the expectation OF gold and
acknowledge that it is simply the season
Of the year when the balance Of trade is
against US, and We are simply paying
this balance. 1t says:
"We could stand decline OF nearly
fifty millions yet without any danger, but
it is almost beyond doubt that long be-
fore that point is reached, the tide Of
trade will turn. Not only will that bring
gold to the producers, but proportionate
increase in imports will bring about a
reduction in the monthly deficit in the
government Golfers"
1t not only acknowledges that as the
time for exporting our great staple pro-
dacts advances, the tide will turn, but
that imports are necessary adjuncts to
exports, and they will also increase. We
have never yet been able to find out how
the protectionist who constantly harps on
importations would raise the needed
revenues OF the government if imports
were stopped. 1t is very shrewdly stated
in the same article that
"When we export more than We i'm.
port TO A CONSIDERABLE EXTENT the bal
ance Of trade, which is to be paid in
money, will be with us, and there will
be no drain"
The words "to a considerable extent"
are the key to the whole situation, and
the cause that makes them necessary is
the means of retaining hundreds OF mill.
ions of dollars, annually, in Europe that
should be brought to the shores OF
America. The principal item OF which is
the 5000, 900, 900 which the people of this
country pay to foreigners for transporting
their exports to maket. With balance
OF trade OF two hundred million dollars in
our favor, We do not get cent, unless
some bloated bondholder wishes to loan
a few thousand on American securities.
Our once boosted commerce which
brought the wealth OF the earth to our
doors has been blasted by the chill OF
protection, which thought only Of a few
pampered industries. When such papers
as the Post-Intelligencer recognize the
truth OF this part of the proposition as
they do that OF the first part, then may
we look for permanent prosperity.

The Puget Sound University at Tacoma
controlled by the Methodist denomina.

tons this year than heretofore, that its
accommodations have proved entirely
inadequate, and additional teachers and
larger quarters have been secured. This
institution is on solid foundation and
in excellent hands. With such men az
Chancellor Thoburn, DR.. Pomeroy and
Professor Cozine at the helm, no Metho.
dist or other need hesitate to entrust
their son or daughter to it's care.

Another Victory for the Settlers

A decision of no small Importance to
settlers all along the line of the Northern
Pacific has just been announced by the
department of the interior. The news
was received at the Spokane land office
last week in letter concerning the con
test of Albert F. Allison OF Hunters vs.
the Northern Pacific railroad company.
The land in dispute was formerly occu-
pied by f. S. Sullivan, who proved his
right to it in recent contest with the rail-
way company. The company's selection
was then cancelled, and Sullivan was
given leave to file homestead entry for
the land. Instead Of doing this, however,
he assigned all his rights to Allison, who
made application to file on the land as
homestead.
Anumber of similar cases had occurred
recently, in which the district land Office
had accepted the entries oil the new set
tiers. The commissioners Office, how
ever, had taken the ground that accord
/ ing to the wording OF the secretary's
directions, the cancellation OF the rail-
ways title in such cases was conditional
upon the selection OF the land by the
original contestants; that no other par.
ties could take advantage Of such rights
to make entries, and if the original con-
testants did not file homestead entries
within q certain time all such lands
would revert to the railway company.
The letter received completely changes
the state OF affairs. 1t announces a re-
cent decision Of Secretary Hoke Smith to
this effect:
"Any claims that would serve to pre-
vent the attachment Of rights under the
grant to tract within the primary limits
because of rights existing at the date of
definite location would by parity Of reason
ing, if existing at the date OF selection Of
indemnity land, serve as bar to the
acceptance OF such selections"
In other words, when the railways
selection is cancelled because of prior
settlement, the company has no further
claim upon the land unless it is re.s,lect.

little more, but it is cheapest in the

Such one is the Wing piano. You can
