days OF push ard pull and compe
tition and rivalry between towns
and cities, only those can hope
to succeed where enterprise suili-
cient exists to embrace every OPP
porlunity to secure additional pop
ulation and large manufacturing
establishments. Our neighboring
cities OF Washington and Princeton
are notable examples. Without the
push and liber,lity which secured
railroad shops, they would Rave
been pleasant, but dull, towns yet,
instead OF having hustling, in
creasing constant growth OF popu-
lation. The large shops induced
other enterprises, until their limits
in a few years, expanded four-fold.
At the present time Jasper can
secure ike advantages at small
portion of the costs these towns in
cured The chance is open to Sc
clre the location of a large gas and
gasoline engine building company,
with an abundant capital and new
patent in construction which gives
III an advantage over other power
building companies. The COURIER
has seen an agreement between the
owners Of this patent, Messrs. John
p. McGeath, Andrew Vansycle and
others, who are men of capital
themselves, and Hon. NJ. A. Sween-
ey, by which they have empowered
the latter to secure the location If a
plant for the building of gas and
gasoline engines of their patent in
Indiana. OF course they will re-
quire liberal donation, but will
enter into a sufficient bond with the
donors, that the factory shall en-
ploy at least fifty hands at the start,
and will increase the number to one
hundred and fifty or more within
two years. The donations will not
become due till the factory is start
ed. Mr.. Sweeney is anxious that
his home town should reap the
benefits of such an industrial enter
prise, and if our citizens will take
hold of the M tier in a business
manner it is within their reach, and
great advantages would rebound to
every one in the town and county
from its location here.
1t would soon increase the value
of the tax duplicate Of the county
very largely, and in that particular
should interest our county and town
as well as the business men
and property owners of Jasper.
We are not advised of the way in
which it will be presented to our
people, but would suggest that our
business men should get together
and appoint committee to examine
into it. We understand that Mr.
McGeath is wealthy gentleman
whose capital backs the enterprise,
and who would be pleased to meet
any committee our people may des
lgnate. Now let us have pull all
together for the general good, and
lay aside our personal feelings and
prejudices, at least till we get
boom" going on for the benefit Of
The town and county. All of our
people realize that something of the |
Kind il desirable-in fact, impera-
lively necessary, if the town is to
,uild up soon materially.
As the immortsl bard says:
There is a tide in the affairs Of men
Which, taken at the flood, Leaf on to
fortune"
Let u have that fortune b tax
ng advantage of the tide, and not
d of those who neglect it, so that
I never returns.

sD-It is reported the proposed
ornamental tile works projected by
the Jennings brothers for Jasper
will not be built, because the own
ers of arm land adjoining the town
which was needed for the factory
wanted 800 an acre for the ground
and that was considered too big q
price. The Jennings will probably
now move their saving machinery
to some place with less competition
for the timber. The citizens oil
Jasper will miss a good thing for the
town if they permit that tile project
to fail for want Of little encourage
ment. 1t would give work TO sew
eral people.

Charleston will get there IN time
TO serve his purpose. The stock
Of ammunition winch the Charles
ton carries is believed to be a
great essential just now, the fierce
engagement at Cavltc having CON
sumed a large part Of the Ameri-
can admiral's shot and shell.
There IS a good deal of talk at
the war department o.day of the
possibilities Of an issue by the
president for another call for vol
unteers, but careful inquiry tends
to warrant the statement that this
is at least premature, and no fur
ther call will likely issue until the
number Of soldiers al
ready called for have responded
and been duly equipped for servi-
ces. THIS last matter, the equip
ment Of new troops, Is the main
source Of delay and promises to
become even worse in the near
future.

GLADSTONE DEAD.
InElpnd's Grand Old Nan Peacefully
passcs Away at Hawarden
This Morning.

Hawarden. May 19.-Gladstonc
died at ) o'clock this morning.
Gladstone had been unconscious
practically all day, though at times
he seemed to recognize for mo.
mcnt some Of the watchers about
him. Certainly he did recognize
his wife, who WAS beside HIM all
day except when the physician
prevailed upon her to rest. She
tcnderIy clasped her husbands
hand as she watched him. AD-
parcntlv he slept a good deal. Oc-
casionally he uttered few words
in an incoherent, dreamy waY,
words which those who were watch
ing were unable to catch Their
ouly consolation was that he was
not suffering pam. No narcotics
were administered.
Though a national funeral will
probably be accepted by the fami-
" there IS little doubt that the re-
mains Of Gladstone will be laId to
in the peaceful graveyard at
Hawarden, adjoining the church
where he WAS married more than
haIf a century ago.
About 4 O'Clock quick move :
mcnts about the corridor of the
castle and glimpscs of people pass
ing hurrlcdly to and fro before
lighted windows gave evidence
jhat the supreme moment could
not be far Off. Naturally it was
impossible to obtain information,
as all those in TIE castle were near
the death chamber. At ) o'clock
the long watch ended anJ the final
bulletin was brought out announc-
ing that Mr.. Gladstone had pass
ed calmly from one sleep to. anohcr.
6 a. m.-Thc following bulletin
has just been posted: "In the
natul1l cour:c Of things the funeral
will be at Hawardcn. Mr..
Gladstone expressed a strong wish
to have no flowers at the funeral and
the family will be grateful If this
desire is strictly respected. DR..
Dobic says Mr. Gladstone brcathcd
quietly all night and passed away
quite peacefully.

A PLUCKY CAPTAIN,


Washington, May Is. -Secrcta-
Try Long gave out the welcome
information to-day that the battle
ship Oregon, the second largest
craft in the American navy, had
successfully completed her long
trip from San Francisco, making
the entire circle Of South America
and is safe. Whether or not she
had joined Admiral SIMPSONS
feet the Secretary would not say.
The rigid secrecy of The navy de
partmont is relaxed only enough
to make known the best news the
navy department has received
since the battle Of Manila. Tins
meaDs not only the Oregon out Of
harms way from a concerted at
tack on this one ship by the whole
Spanish Squadron now in South
crn waters, but also that her great
fighting strength Will be added to
Admiral SIMPSONS force in the
near future, If, indeed, she has
not already augmented the admi-
rails strength. It had been cx-
pected the Spanish admira! would
tryIo intercept the battleship with
his superior force and before leay-
ing Bahia Captain Clark Of the
Oregon was warned to keep a
close look out for the Spanish
fleet. In reply Clark expressed
confidence that he was able to
hold his own single handed against
all the Spanish crusiers. The only
apprehension he felt was as to the
torpedo boats uuder the Spanish
admira!s command, tor these are
new and practically an untricd
element against a modern battle
ship, and Captain Clark, while
confident of holding out against
these SAID a chance blow might
be struck by them. NotNIth.
standing Clark's assurances the
navy department continued to feel
that a meeting between the Span
ish squadron and an Amerioln
battleship on such unequal terms
was far from desirable and might
bring serious results. For this
reason the official information
reaching the authorities to day
was a source of most hearty con
gratulations. Where the report
c"mc from was not made known
but the nero fact that Secretary
Long regards the Oregon as safe
makes It possible She has passed
| to the north Of the Windward
islands. Aside from this bit of
information Secretary Long said
at the close of Office hours, "Thcre
IS no further news to be given
out"
During the day the bureau OF
navigation issued a bulletin sum
marizino Commander McCalla's
. Official report of the recent engage
ment at Cienfuegos and adding
some minor news on tho prospec.
tive exchange of prisoners, etc.
These bulletins are not proving OF
good news value, although they
are practically all that comes from
the navy department with official
confirmation.
To-day Secretary Long joined
the war board which had been ii
session for some hours to partici-
pate in discussing their plans
which are believed to be materially
modified by the news received
from The Oregon.
The cruiser Charleston, whiol
started today on her long journey
to meet Admiral Dewey at Manila,
should arrive there in about 2
days, allowing a couple Of day.

an export duty on tobacco, and almost
every article of foreign production is

THE original Declaration of In
dependence is in so dilapidated a
condition that nowadays it is rarely
if ever exposed to public view. The
Ladies Home Journal was recently
granted special permission by the
secretary of state to make a single
exposure of the document to the
camera, and viii reproduce the
photograph, which is a remarkably
clear one, in the July issue of that
magazine. Exposure to light and
the process of making a duplicate
copy of the Declaration have faded
the ink in the historic document,
but it is still legible Some of the
signatures are nearly faded out.
John Hancock, however, seems to
have used an imperishable ink, for
his name stands black and bold on
the parchment, which is now kept
in a steel safe, out of the sunlight
and out of the public,s view.

LIEUT., CHASE, U. S. A., late in
structor in military tactics at the
agricultural college, but now with
his company at Tampa, Florida,
has offered his services to Gov.
Rogers of this state in the present
call for volunteers. The governor
was commended by the whole peo-
pie for the wisdom of his appoint
ment of Lieut.. Wholley, U. S. A.,
who was stationed at the state uni
yersity, to be colonel of the first
regiment of Washington volunteers,
and we believe it would be in line
with his policy, and in keeping
with the wishes of the people, to
make Lieut.. Chase colonel of the
second regiment. Chase is a thor
ough soldier, and would honor the
state If placed in command of its
second regiment. He has had thir-
teen years experience in the regu-
lar army, and by his ability has
worked up from the ranks to be
first lieutenant. During his years
residence in Pullman he won the
Eespect of all, and there is not one
but would rejoice TO see him given
the first place in the new regiment.

NEVER have the prospects been
so bright in the Palouse country as
at present. This is purely an agri-
cultural country, and its prosperity
is measured by the bounty of
nature, and by the prices com
handed by natures products. The
present indications are that all
products of the soil will WELD to
their utmost limit, and of grains
and fruits there will be an abund
ance. During seed time there was
naught to hinder or delay the plant
ing of the crops, and now during
the period of growth the rains are
falling, and every condition for the
making of a crop is perfect. No
season in the history of the many
successful ones has started out
more auspiciously. But not in the
prospect of a large yield alone does
the Palouse rejoice. The price OF
all products of the soil is excellent,
better in fact than the country had
hoped in the past, and the proba-
bllties are thai the crop of 90 will
COMMAND an equally high figure
FOR these reasons the country re,
loices, and feels that the joke Of
hard times and of financial stress
has been thrown aside.
