Weapon.

placed the man under arrest and
sent him to the City Prison, where
charges Of begging and assault with
a deadly weapon were booked
against him. The murderous mendi-
cant gave the name of Thomas Muir
ply and his occupation a molder.
The knife was booked as evidence
against him. When searched a razor
was found concealed under his col
lar, and in his pockets were 60 cents
and five meal tickets.
Murphy denied that he asked Britt
for money or drew a knife upon
him. He said he pulled out his knife
TO cut his finger nails and was doing
so when the policeman arrested him.
He said he came here from Sacra-
mento Saturday morning and in
tended to apply at the Union Iron
Works for a job. He could not give
the name or number of the hotel
where he said he slept Saturday
night. His appearance is not pre-
possessing, and the police believe
that he is a professional beggar.

Much as the SLOCUM SYSTEM
means to humanity, great as its bene-
fits are to lung sufferers and those in
quest of fortifying strength, it may be
obtained by the readers of the The Call

DR.. Slocum that the world may partic-
ipate in his glorious discovery and that
humanity may benefit and reap the
reward of his long years of labor.
A special arrangement has been mads
with Dr. Slocum by which the readers
OF The Call may have the four prep
arations making up the SLOCUM SYS-
TEN by simply sending their names
and complete addresses to the SLOCUM

The Philippine Problem.

Some people are still discussing the
.theoretic expediency of expansion.
This has not been an open question
since last winter. The act and fact of
expansion was complete when the
treaty of peace was ratified. You
might indeed, as an academic matter,
discuss he'desirability of contraction.
But towering over and overshadowing
all merely speculative issues is the
mighty & had almost said the awful)
fact of our actual sovereignty over and
responsibility for the Philippine ISL
ands. You can escape the conseuuen-
ces of some deeds by undoing them.
But treaties cannot be made and un-
made at will, nor international obliga-
tions laid down because they are bur-
densome. It does not matter what
were your views on the previous ques-
ton of annexation the only question
today open to you is this: The United
States having taken the Philippine
Islands from Spain, what shall be done
with them?-From "The Problem of
Territorial Expansion" by President

can Monthly Review of Reviews for

A Big Cargo for the Army.

being loaded in five days. The ship
ments going to the Philippines from
this Coast shows that lively and
decisive campaign will be carried on,
that will soon settle the question fo1
Aguinaldo and his band.
The PAX Ling is the largest trans.
port sent out from the Sound, and not
only that, but she carries the largest
cargo OF hay and grain ever shipped
away on one vessel, according to
well informed shipping men. She i.
a vessel of 4,447 tons, much large,
than the regular liners running be-

some idea of the load she is carryin,
to the Philippines may be gained
when It is stated that stored away II

The figures at thecustom house SHOW
that she has on board 25,587 bales o

Looking for Another Vessel.

The Seattle Steamship Company
has decided to make further efforts for
Alaskan transportation business, part
ticularly the Cape Nome traffic, and
to this end is endeavoring to purchase
another steamship. Charles d. Lane,
the San Francisco mining magnate
who is stakeholder in the in the
company, is now en- route East to
purchase suitable vessel. Though,
as on the Pacific, good vessels are
scarce, Mr.. Lane says he will not re-
turn until he has acquired one suited
to the purpose of his company.
Sol. G. Simpson, another of the
principal stockholders of the company
recently went to Portland, where he
inspected the steamship Oregon,
owned by the Oregon Railroad & Navi-
CATION Company, but that vessel was
found several points below the required
standard.
The steamship the company hopes
to acquire is 10 be operated in conlunc.
ton with the Laurada, in the event Of
that vessel being successfully floated
as now seems probable.-P.-I.

Agricultural Lands to Come Out.

The forest reserve problem has
created such state of uneasiness and
anxiety in the minds of settlers in this
state that Bailey Willis, of the United
States Geological Survey, has issued
a public statement covering the work
of the Interior Department toward ex-
Guiding that part of the Reserves
which is best suited for farming pur.
poses.
Mr.. Willis says that the anxiety felt
by the people of the various counties
in regard to the effect of the Forest
Reserves is caused by misunderstand-
ling of the purpose of the General Gov :
eminent. The original establishment
of the Reserves and the present policy
with reference to the adjustment of
their boundaries are designed to bene-
fit directly the communities adjacent
to them, and indirectly the general
public.
He says further that the peoples
rights will not be interfered with /;
that the agricultural lands will be
open for settlement, and the communi-
ties will be benefited. When the
boundaries of the Forest Reserves were
drawn they were based upon filings in
tho General Land Office at that time
and only for special reasons were lands
then filed upon included in the Re-
serves. The fact that much argic ul-
tural lands were included within these
boundaries was unavoidable and pro-
visions have been made so that more
of these lands may be excluded from
the reserve boundaries.
The separation of agricultural lands
he says, from the forest lands, will fol-
low as speadily as appropriations will
permit Times.

Eddie MeReavy Gets a Job.

Ed. McReavy, of Union City, son
of State Senator John McReavy, who
has represented group of southwest
ern counties for several years in the
state senate, has been appointed deputy
fish commissioner by A. G. Little. Nc
Reavy is prominent Democrat of
Mason County.
The appointment has been expected
by politicians for some time, but has
just been announced. McReavy, how
ever, has been in the fisheries depart
ment for about week, though he has
thus far been engaged on pressing
work in other parts of the state.
The appointment of second deputy
is made by Fish Commissioner Little
under the authority of an act Of the
last legislature allowing him two
deputies. These, he considered then,
were necessary to look after the de-
partment, and still believes it.
Deputy McReavy has settled the
fight between fishermen Oh the Skoo-
KUN. This threatened to be one of
the hardest fights to come before the
fisheries department. officials for set
Element, and trouble was narrowly
averted. A fortunate combination Of
circumstances favored the officials.
A contest arose between fishermen
on the bay regarding the right to
drifting grounds. The earlier licensed
fishermen selected their drifting
grounds and sought to keep out their
rivals. When they came in the first
fishermen threatened trouble and the
fish commissioner was appealed to and
asked to settle the controversy.
Deputy McReavy found peculiar
situation, which he Immediately made
the best of and settled the trouble. It
appeared that most of the fishermen
had overlooked one or two of the diff
ferent licenses required, and by using
this fact he was able to make terms
with all the parties. Peace now reigns
