THE PUBLIC LANDS.

According to official statistics the
public domain of the United States
originally consisted Of ,8i5, 600, coo
acres of land, of which all but 599,-
100000 acres have been disposed
of, says an exchange. Of the land
remaining unentered Arizona has
100000 acres, California, 45,0OO,
600, Colorado 100000. Idaho
46,000,000, Kansas 94l, 900, Min
ne8ota 100000, Montana 73,000,-
600, Nebraska, 100000, Nevada
61,OO0,OOO, New Mexico 100000,
Oregon 100000, and Wyoming
50,OO0,00O. These immense tracts
include great mountain areas which
will be forever worthless for cult
Walton, but teey include also mil
lions of acres of arid land which
can be made fertile if money enough
is spent in irrigating them.
The question of disposing Of snch
lands is once more before congress,
and whatever remains to be done
in settling it ought to be done thor
oughly.

IN an interview with a Spokane
reporter, Robert Burdette, the
humorist and philosopher, who
visited Pullman last Monday, had
the following to say of the Palouse
country and of the Artesian city;
"Tye just come out of the Palouse
country. Say, that's great coun-
trv-Great with big G. A rich
country. many thousand-acred
granary, and some Of the best peo-
Die in the world are developing it.
| was most pleasantly impressed
with the State Agricultural College
at Pullman. 1t is magnificent
institution: has a strong, a very
strong faculty, and deserves the
most liberal and most cordial sup
port from the state of Washington
and all it's people. The public
school building at Pullman is some
thing to be more than proud of.
Oh, it's a great land, this of yours,
and if don't settle anywhere else
intend coming here to live.

RUSSIA AND CHINA.

The open secret of the treaty be-
tween Russia and China is out.
The terms of It, as given in the
North China Daily News, are not
at all surprising.
There is no government in the
world which understands better the
value of a great act of
timely friendship to some other
power in it's crisis of need than Rus
STA. The United States is not
ashamed to own its keen appreci-
alton Of Russia's realistic friend
ship toward our government in our
late war, when England seemed on
the point Of doing us a fatal un-
kindness. The Abyssinians will
never forget the Russian decora,
ton conferred on King Menelek
directly after his victory in repell-
ing the Italian invasion. And
China has been bound to Russia
by hooks of steel and chains of gold
in consequence of Russia's inter
vention on behalf of China against
Japan.
BY the terms of this treaty with
China, as now reported, Russia is
to be allowed to use any of the har-
bors along the coast of China, to
mass her fleets there, and provis
ion them with coal and other sup
plies; to recruit forces in Chinese
territory; have the use Of Port Ar
thur as a winter harbor, or to use
any other ports on the coast of
kiang Su and Che Kiang, Russia
will also be permitted to build a
branch of the Siberian Railroad

LAST Sunday, March %, was
Easter Sunday de facto on the Pa
cifc coast, but next Sunday, April
5, will be Easter Sunday de custom,
because 1t will be the correct Eas-
ter astronomically in the eastern
states and Europe. 1t is not gen.
orally known, perhaps, but Easter,
being the first Sunday after the
first full moon after the spring
equinox, the moon was full on the
Pacific coast at 10 o'clock Satur-
day night, when. it was already
Sunday on the Mississippi river, so
that the following Sunday, March
80, was Easter Sunday on the Pa
cific coast, but not east of the Mis-
sissippi, because it was already
Sunday there when the moon grew
full.-W hatcom Blade.
