THE problem o: giving names to
Indians is one that has long yexed the
government at Washington. It is
fact, perhaps rot generally understood
that the Indian children really have
no names of their own, in the sense
in which the white child has name.
That Is to say, there is no such thing
as an arbitrary designation for each
Indian child. An "Indian name" is
a phrase which has definite meaning
and In the course of lifetime this
phrase, as applied to particular
Indian, may be changed several times
The attempt to translate these phrases
into English has led to ridiculous and
confusing results. Superintendent
Terry of the Crow Indian School in
Montana, advocates in the March
Review of Reviews the adoption OF
regular system of nomenclature by
the government, and the abandon
ment of the practice of translatlng.

The Duty On Lumber.

The lumber interests of this coun-
trv represents an investment of nearly
ST 900 600 900 with 25 900 mills, pay
ing $3.50, 100000 in wages annually to
more than 100000 persons who are di-
rectly employed. Tariff makers, there
fore, are compelled to take the lumber
industry under careful consideration.
This great and thriving business has
suffered greatly from the Wilson bill,
and congress is now asked to right the
wrong which has been inflicted upon
the lumbermen and to put the indus
try upon living basis hgaip. The
representations which have been made
to the committee thus far show that
no particular section of the country
is more interested in lumber industry
than Others. The industry is broad
as the land itself. There is not a
single state in the union where it does
not prevail to some extent, while more
than thirty of the states claim it as
their leading industry. 1t has been
estimated that at least 100000 per-
sons are dependent upon it, directly
and indirectly. Therefore the ways
and means committee was not sur
prised to receive earnest appeals from
every part of the country for restor-
alton of adequate duties to the differ
emf items of the schedule. Lumber Is
not a raw material. From 90 to 80
per cent, of the value OF the rough
product as it is delivered in the log at
a sawmill represents labor. The only
raw material in the lumber industry
is the tree as it stands In the forest,
but even then the labor OF telling the
timber and getting the logs to the
mills ia worth more than the timber
as II stood. It was shown that the
labor required to produce lOOV feet OF
rough lumber is approximately the
same that it required to produce ton
of pig iron, which is dutiable at $4 a
ton Again 1000 feet OF high grade
dressed lumber could be>compared az
! S8 a ton. Lumber is on the free ilst'
and the lumbermen make the reason

Will 1t Pay the Farmer?

"Will it pay the farmer to bother
with chickens?" asks an inquirer.
Will it pay a farmer not to bother with
chickens? We would like to know.
What are the legitimate productions
of farm? To our notion, it means
growing grain, growing vegetables,
growing fruits, wool; keeping hogs for
meat and lard +; keeping bees for honey;
keeping poultry for eggs and carcasses.
In fact anything that is grown or pro-
duced on farm is a legitimate pro-
duct.
A farm without poultry is like a
home without a mother. No one can
appreciate either unless once deprived
of them. If farmers will conduct
their farms on the same line that the
large apartment stores OF the city are
run, they will have less cause to COM
plain of the "uncertainties" OF agri-
cultural pursuits Those stores try
every branch thoroughly, and hold on
to that which is good The enterpris-
ing farmer does the same, and in every
case where each branch is properly
tried, poultry culture is the first to be
retained. Isn't it funny that nearly
every farmer who tells us that poultry
don't pay continues to keep them?
We have seen farmers give up one
branch after another because they
found it Improbable, and declare
poultry was a losing game yet, never
theless, they continued to keep fowls
right along.
AS we have repeatedly said in these
columns no one is better fitted for
making poultry pay than the farmer.
He can find no better market for
cheap grain than poultry affords.
But poultry on the farm must be
commanded better. The farmer is in
different, and the hens become lazy
and lazy hens are as Improbable as
lazy farm hand.

The greatest danger from La Grippe
is of its resulting in pneumonia. II
reasonable care is used, however, and
Chamberlain Cough Remedy taken,
all danger will be avoided. Among
the ten of thousands who have used
this remedy for la grippe, we have to
learn of single case having resulted

sively that his remedy is certain

Death Of a Pioneer MiIlmau.

G. A. Meiggs, pioneer millman anc
ship owner, of the Sound, who was al
one time very wealthy, bat OF late hac
met with some reverses, was accident.
ly killed at Seattle last week by falling
from the wharf to the deck of steam.
er in the dark. Mr. Meiggs was the
owner of the steamer Detroit, built at
the head of this bay by the Malaney
Bros. and was evidently intending to
visit the boat before taking the steam
er Starr for his home at Port Madison
later in the evening. He was found
by the watchman lying in pool of
blood on the deck, having struck on
his head.
Hon. Charles Prosch, an old-time
friend of Mr.. Meiggs and one of the
oldest pioneers of this region, had the
following to say of the dead shipowner
and millman:
George A. Meiggs had for many
years been a friend of mine. Before
coming to this coast he was in the mill
business in Florida. He arrived in
San Francisco about 1856, l think.
After his arrived here he first ran a
sawmill at PORT Orchard and subse-
quently built at Port Madison mill on
cambridge island. j. M. Colman, of
this city, was hired by Meiggs to build
the mill and Meiggs paid him a salary
of $500 a month. When the work
was completed and Colman gone Meigs
expressed his regret to me that he had
not retained him in his service. Meigs
became owner of the first steam tug,
the Resolute ever built on Puget
Sound and for many years operated
her with no opposition. She in after
years exploaded her boilers in North
bay near Olympia killing a number of
people.
"Meiggs during his early mill life
here, lost several hundred thousand
dollars through the reckless stock
gambling of painter, w. r. Gowley.
Gowley was first bookkeeper, later
Meiggs- manager in San Fran 'isco,
where the product of the mill was
sold and finally he was partner. Cow
ley's stock gambling involved the mill
so that Meigs had to go below, where
he found sad state affairs. Gowley
had spent 100000 or 100000 of the
mills money and involved Meiggs in
heavy debt. Meigs has the record of
having built one of the finest sailing
vessels, the bark Wildwood ever put
together on the coast. She was built
of carefully selected material and was
an excellent sailer."

KILL THE BILL.

We cannot imagine that the mem
bers of the State Senate will follow the
lead of the members of the House in
the matter of the passage Of that most
dangerous and foolish measure known
as the Wilson game bill. If they have
any regard whatever for the sporting
interests Of the state they will most as
suredly either kill it in its entirety or
else so amend it as to rob it of its
most dangerous features. The bill
practically provides that birds and ami
mails shall have protection from gun
ners at no time in the year. In Other
words, that the owner of land may gun
for partridges. quail. rabbit, woodcock
or any other game that he may find on
his land at any time. The birds mas
be Meeting or rearing their young. Th'
rabbit may be breeding or feeding it,
young. That makes no difference I,

TO avoid it, but if there we're not a con-
slant possibility Of 1t we should have
no navy. Now that we are getting a
hrst-class navy. there are two things
to be considered. We want a place to
build vessels out OF reach Of any other
nation in time OF danger. and we want
a place TO repair the navy and keep
it in good condition in times of peace.
What is now necessary is a channel
to tho sea that will permit the largest
vessels 10 sail without danger, regard

has discovered this We wish that every
other congressman would visit this city
and see. as he has seen, the great pos
sibiliiies of League Island. II will not
cost much to dredge the thirty-five feet
channel that General Grosvenor speaks
of. When that Is done the American
navy will be provided with what no
other nation in the world possesses. We
heartily congratulate him on his discov-
cry, and trust that he will be able to
carry out his well-expressed intentions.
