Exhaustion and the West.

From the st. Louis Globs-Democrat.
Ex-senator Wilson of the state of
w ashington is correct, of course, in say
ing that the West is solid for expan-
sion" The West has favored all the
expansions which have taken place
since the West came into existence. The
Vests members Of congressional is
those from Kentucky. Tennessee and
Ohio, the only states on the sunset side
of the Alleghenies at that time-were
solid for the annexation of Louisiana
in 1903, when New England and a large
section of the middle states were OPP
posed to it. The West, indeed by its
threats to attack New Orleans and
drive the Spanish or French out in
order to get control of the navigation
of the Mississippi, was the influence
which forced jefferson to make the of
fer for New orleans and West Florida
which resulted in the transfer of the
whole province of Louisiana to the
United States by Bonaparte. Bonaparte
knew that if he occupied Louisiana, as
he originally intended to DO, either he
or some of his successors would be
ultimately driven out of it by the pres
sure of the western settlers for the pos
session of the Mississippi.
The West was even more enthusiast
ticallv in favor of the annexation of
Florida than was the South. There was
a West Florida as well as an East Flor
ida. The latter comprised what is
practically the territory now called

Back to Warm Springs,

Missoula, Aug. S.-William Walsh,
who a short time ago was sent to the
insane asylum at Warm Springs, and
who spent few days in the city last
week, supposed to have been released
from the institution as cured, was ia
ken back to the asylum. 1t appears
that he was not discharged from the
institution, but made his escape by
jumping out of the window while the
attendant was absent. After getting
out of the building he scratched a hole
under the fence and jumped on a train
and came to the city. In speaking to
some of his friends about the matter he
said that the physicians at the asylum
were trying to dope him, which was the
same trouble he was having here, and
which was the cause of the commission
sending him to the asylum. Officer Gar
rity left on this mornings Copper City
Limited with him.

THE SUMNER CRUISE.
Pleasant but Exacting Summer Work OF
Squadrons.

squadrons.
From the New York Times.
To the average man the summer
cruises of our men-of-war seem to be
mere pleasure trips along the coast,
but this is far from being a correct
view of the matter. 1t is the policy of
the navy department to send the cruis-
ing squadrons into many ports in or
der that the people may see for what
they are paying and that a proper ma
tional pride in the navy may be foster
ed. But when the ships are at sea, out
of sight of the admiring throngs, they
go through a great number of evolu-
tions, which are of the highest import
ance to the efficiency of the service. If
it We're possible for people to see these
evolutions, as they can see those of an
infantry regiment in camp or on field
day, they would at once understand
their value, although many Of the
movements would be inexplicable to
them.
The evolutions of a squadron of ships,
however, are absolutely necessary to
that constant readiness for action
which is held to be the first and final
essential of good navy. For example,
to steam in column and keep the proper
distances between the ships is by no
means an easy matter, yet it is the
first requisite of a squadron at sea. In
VI dti tildt lliS NC opSiiy uOlle,
the speed of all the vessels in the col
umn must be equal. Ten knots an hour
is the normal cruising speed of our
squadrons, and this must be maintain
ed in a squadron comprising ships of
various types and widely different
horse-powers. The engineers must know
just how many revolutions a minute
to give their engines in order to get the
required speed. Having learned that
they must know how to maintain it.
Now, as the safety of the ships from
collision with one another is largely
dependent upon their keeping the right
speed in the performance of any squad
ron movement, it is evident that if the
officers learned nothing from these
summer cruises along the coast but
how to maintain steady rate of speed,
the cruises would be of high value. But
these cruises give many other results.
The peculiarities of all the ships in
steering, for instance, are thoroughly
learned by the officers attached to
them. 1t may be that in the cases of
some of the ships these have been as
certained before, but not by the same
officers. AS any officer in the service
may at some time be ordered to this
or that vessel, 1t is not possible that his
knowledge gained on one of these sum-
mer cruises can be valueless to him.
When at sea a squadron is exercised
in all the necessary drills, such as fire
and collision and general quarters for

FAMOUS OLD OPH|R MINE
1t Is Reported That w. A. Clark
Will Develop 1t.
ORE TO COME TO BUTTE
Ono Thousand Tons to Be Shipped to
the Reduction Works Here to Test
Its Adaptability to That Kind
of Treatment.

They have it down in Salt Lake that
w. A. Clark of this city Is about to
take hold of the old Ophir mine. Ac-
cording to reports he will ship to his
reduction works here about 1000 tons
of the ore to make a thorough test of
it. The Herald adds to the report and
says that cit is evident w. A. Clark
proposes some important developments
at the Ophir mine. When he was here
little over week ago to make an
examination of the mine he had not
fully made up his mind on a plan for
the future, at least. he did not make
his intentions known in respect to it.
Since his departure, however, it has
developed that he has ordered one of
his representatives to come here and
begin vigorous campaign of develop
ment. 1t is learned that the new man
ager for the Ophir is to come from
Butte. and that he will bring his fam
lily with him, to take up their resi-
dence in Salt Lake. The Ophir, as
every one knows who is acquainted
with the Ophir district, is big mine,
and has some enormously large ore
bodies, being of a very low grade. The
former owners have made money out
OF it by economical management, but
IN late years it has been uphill work
to make it pay much more than run
ming expenses. Last year the mine
showed a surplus. 1t has been an
nounced that Senator Clark's first move
will be to ship 1000 or $500 tons of the
ore to his Butte shelters, to make a
thorough test of its adaptability to that
method of treatment.
"A gentleman closely connected with
Mr.. Clark said yesterday that the ore
would certainly have to be treated I'M
der fire to get the best results, and he
thinks there is little doubt that it is
Mr.. Clark's ultimate intention to erect
a smelling plant somewhere near Salt
Lake if the results obtained from the
ore to be sent to Butte are satisfactory.
"'Of course said the informant who
did not care to be quoted, all will de-
pend upon the tests to be made whether
Mr.. Clark builds a smelter or not, but
the ore can be treated to a profit and
he will find a way to do it before he
stops Investigations.
Heretofore the ore has been con-
centrated at the mine, the mill being
one of the most economical ever con-
structed, and the product shipped to
the smelters."

Florida. but West Florida was a strip
running along the south ends of the
present states of Alabama and Mssis-
sippi and the eastern projection of
Louisiana onto the Mississippi. The
rivers which ran through West Flor
ida all had their rise in Western terri
tory. The West was bound to secure
control of the whole of those streams
to their mouth. In fact, the Western
pressure on the government induced
Madison to take military possession of
a large part of West Florida half a
dozen years before the treaty of 1919
was framed, by which Spain gave UP
her title to both the Floridas. The SEN
timenI in favor of the annexation of
Texas in the campaign OF 1874 in which
Polk was elected, was especially strong
in the West, Notwithstanding the fact
that the Wing party had great strength
in this section at that time; that anti
slavery sentiment, which was arrayed
against annexation all over the coun-
try, was opposed to the addition of an
other slave state to the list of those
already existing. and that Clay, the
Vests idol, was the wing candidate in
that year. Ohio did, indeed, go to Clay
that year, but Michigan. indiana and
Illinois were married by Polk, the an
nexationist.
This has been so from the beginning.

business from the outset. 1t was the
West which won. under George Rogers
Clark, the territory between the Ohio
and the great lakes, and from the
Pennsylvania line to the Mississippi
in the war for independence. That ex-
plot was the first piece of expansion
which ever took place in the United
States since the battle of Lexington.
1t gave us our title to the region west
of the Alleghenies. except that gained
by settlement in the present states of
Kentucky and Tennessee, and which
would hardly have been respected in
the treaty of peace with England if it
had not been for Clark's achievement
in winning the region north of the Ohio.
Whatever doubts there may be on the
question of the orthodoxy of the East
and the South on the expansion issue,
there are none whatever regarding the
soundness of the West on that point
Expansion had in the West its first
practical manifestation. The West is
itself creation of expansion.

STREET CARS TOSTOP
Injunction Granted by Judge
Dale Yesterday.
NOTICE SERVED MONDAY
Supt. Church Says Company
Will Not Resist.

The street cars will stop, probably to-
morrow. Judge Dale yesterday granted
temporary injunction against the COM

cars from the street pending the settle

city to annul the franchise. Superintend-
ent w Q. Church said yesterday that the
cars would stop when the notice of in
junction was served, which will probably
be some time tomorrow. Asked as to
whether the company contemplated giving
bond and lighting the injunction, Mr..
Church said he had no instructions TO that
effect that it was the plan to submit TO
the injunction and stop the cars. Mr..
Kos Harris, the attorney for the com
pany, is acting under Mr.. Church's in

the matter

days ago. 1t was pending hearing of
this that the injunction granted by Judge
Dale yesterday was asked. 1t will hardly
come up before the next term of court, so
that it now appears probable that Wich-
tia will have no street cars any more this
summer. Mr. Church said he couldn't tell
what would be done ultimately. The suit,
he said tied up the property, which would
prevent any probable sale; unless some
syndicate or capitalist should come along
with the money and offer to buy the
Keene property; that is, the old street
railway, and build a new one, on condi-
ton that the city withdraw its suit. 9th
erwise there was little chance for an early
settlement of the matter or a new street

is that the track must be kept in good
