PORTLAND. Dec. 1.-Considerable
importance is attached to the meeting
of President Hill. of the Great North
ern, and President Mohler, of the o.
r. & N, at Spokane, and it is believed
that the o. r. & N, backed by the
Great Northern and Union Pacific,
intends to cripple the Northern Pa
cifc in the West.
The move in connection with the
meeting indicates the, beginning of a
bitter war. The fact-that Mr.. Mohler
and Mr.. Hill are to meet without any
Morgan representative proves that
instead of trying to patch up the
troubles, plans are being arranged for
fierce fight 1t is considered a very
diplomatic move indeed, for these

rates before beginning an attack upon

tween these railway giants will be
watched with the keenest interest.
When it gets fairly under way 1t means
a fight to the finish. No quarter will
be asked or given.

Mining men believe that all that
country which lies between the mid

estimates Washington's wheat crop to
be 10000, 600 bushes, about the same as

Spokane's bank clearances Saturday
were propably the largest in the his

Barley sales amount to $4,000, besides
what is retained for feeding purposes,
which takes the place of oats, very
little of the latter being produced in

A Peculiar case.

About4 O'Clock Thursday morning
Marshal Lauer was notified by tele-
phone that man was seriously hurt
on the railroad track west of the
depot. Mr.. Lauer arose, and going
to Investigate found man who gives
his name to be G. w. Peters, with his
loft leg broken in two places below the
knee. He was taken to the city Jail,
where medical attendance was sum-
moued to care for his injuries, and he
claims that he was walking along the
the railroad track and fell sustaining
serious injuries. He does not explain
why he was out so early in the morn
ing. hence it is presumed that he was
trying to board train or get off it
when the accident occurred. He
claims to be miner from California
and had a lot of mining tools with
him. His case is rather puzzling. as
there seems to be no reason why he
should tell such an improbable story
about his misfortune.

BOSTON, Nov, 3O.-News of the loss
of the Boston & Portland Steam
Packet Company steamer off Cap Cod

as direct climax to the previous re-
port OF disasters resulting from Satur-
day nights storm.
There are still other places to be
heard from on both sides of the cape,
which have not been reached by train
on account of washouts and which are
cut OFF from other means of commune
cation by broken wires, blocked high
ways and shattered bridges.

loss of life cannot be estimate with
any degree of accuracy, it is known
that more than 200 persons perished.

To Reclaim. Desert Iauds.


Arabic public lands subject to entry
have become scarce in the United
States. and as consequence consider
able attention is being given to desert
lands that are susceptible of reclaima-
tion. 1t is understood there are a
number of California capitalists who
have become interested in the i'm
mense tracts of desert land in Crook
comfy, and will make ar effort to
secure title and reclaim the same. In
that county are thousands of acres of
fine lands that would produce immense
crops if water for irriga ting them
were obtainabie, and it is the purpose
of the California capitalists to insti-
tute system of irrigation that will
put these lands under cultivation if
they secure title to them.

from New England points up to lO
O'Clock this morning it was difficult to
estimate the total loss of life and dam.
age to shipping along this coast, as
the result of the recent storm. The
list of disasters seems to grow every
hour. and from dispatches thus far re-
ceived, it appears that at least 80
schooners were wrecked at different
points from Eastport, Me-, to New
Haven, Conn.
Eighty-six schooners have been
driven ashore and II barges are
aground.
Thit list does not include the 30
vessels, either wholly or partially
wrecked in Boston harbor, nor half
dozen or more craft which are re-
ported missing. When the lists are
added the number exceeds ITO vessels.
The loss of life is hard to determine.
1t is known that about 80 people per.
ished in and about Boston harbor.
Reports from other places in some
cases state that the crew of this or
thai vessel escaped. Many, however,
state that the fate of the crews is un.
known, some survivors have turned up,
Ind lifesaving stations and incoming
Tessels have brought a few sailors

Furnish Prompt
~ Relief.

NEW YORK, Nov, 30.-General
Jose Gomez has called on Stephen E.
Barton at the Red Cross headquarters
in this city, to ask his aid in sending
relief to the sick and starving women
and children at Las Villas, Santi
Spiritus and Trinidad. in Santa Clara
province, The general stated that
suffering was more intense there than
in any other part of the island and
that if the relief did not reach them
soon it would be too lste.
General Gomez said that the mil
lion rations that were to be sent by
the government were going to the
north coast, and would not reach the
districts where they were most needed.
He did not make his appeal in behalf
of his own forces, which are on the
south coast of Santi Spiiitus and
Iunas de lara, but stated that he had
given food intended for them to the
starving women and children of that
vicinity. He said that his troops were
in most pisiful condition now that
the fighting is over. They cannot
help themselves
General Gomez said that he would
lay the matter before the president if
he was received.
The general said that there was
about 4500 families at Santi Spiritus
who have absolutely nothing. They
fed from the citios into th 9 hills and
are now existing on-what they can
hunt. AS to the population of the
city itself, where the Spanish are the

Do not keep the alabaster boxes O.
your love and kindness and tenderness
sealed up until your friends are dead
but fill their lives now with sweetness,
speak approving aud cheering words
while their ears are open and can hear
them. and while their hearts can be
thrilled and made happy by them.
The kind things you will say after they
are gone, say before they go over the
great divide. The flowers you mean
to send for their collins, bestow now
and brighten and sweeten their homes
before they leave them.
If my friends have aiabaster boxes
laid away, full of fragrant perfumes of
sympathy and affection, which they
intend to break over my dead body,I
would rather they would bring them
now in my weary and troubled hours,
and open them that 1 may be re-
them and can enjoy them. l would
rather have a plain coffin without
flower, and funeral without q euiogy
than life without the sweetness of
love and sympathy.
Let US learn to annoint our friends |
before hand, as May of old did, for
their burial. Post-mortem kindness |
cannot cheer the burdened spirit. |
Flowers on the coffin shed 10 frag-
rance backward over. the weary way
by which Our loved ones have already
travelled.
If we could only have more love
whispered into our souls this world
would be a paradise and we would
criticise less our neighbors when we
gather around our fresides. If we
coaId, or rather would, only carry into
effect the Injunction, "Love your
neighbor as YOURSELF" how much hap
pier we would ne as we'll as those
about US. We should also learn to
say:
LET each man learn to know him
self.
And to gain that Knowledge let him
labor,
Improve those failings in himself
Which he condemns so in his neigh
bor."
Then would we be less cruel and
lot hurt the feelings of others.
The absence of genuine love is the
ause of so much pickering and back !
,iJing in the would-be christian homes ;
# our church people.
Example. sheds a genial ray
Which men are apt to borrow.
So first improve yourself today
And then your friend tomorrow.
Love coverth multitude OF sins, ,
therefore, covet this greatest thing in :

1t is reported that Roberts, recently

three wives. and that on this account
he will be refused seat in the house
of Representatives. Well if he really
has three wives he has all the troubles
he needs without trying to get into
congress where his cares would be in
creased. Some men nsver know any
better than to increase their sorrows
when they have a chance.
