 What thing?"
 ''Why, the rain of course.
 My dear sir, I haven't the slightest idea of what you mean" returned the prophet in his most insinuating tones. The old gentleman was puzzled. He looked about the room carefully and curiously.
 
 aYes," replied the forecaster in a quick, businesslike way, and I'm the weather man. You asked me how much longer the rain would keep up Ii isn't keeping up and that's the trouble. It's coming, and it's going to keep on coming down for some time vet. Every twenty-four hours of the

Louis Nobel Tells of Conditions at the
Lakes Beyond Skagway.

OREGON CRY, March 13.-Louis Nobel
returned last night from the lakes beyond
Skagway, in Alaska, where he was
carrying on freighting business. The
recent extreme cold weather, with tie
thermometer fifty degrees below zero,
and the unsettled conditions caused by
the strict enforcement of the Canadian
alien mining laws in the Atlin district,
and the railroad strike on the line being
constructed from Skagway to the lakes,
caused him to return home for awhile.
Mr.. Nobel stated that the alien laws are
strictly enforced in the Atlin district,
and none but Canadians are permitted
to work there. He also states that
business is is an unsettled condition in
that part of Alaska on account of 1900
railroad laborers quitting work when a
cut in wages was announced on March /.

The conference in Chicago for the
purpose of discussing trusts, their uses
aid abuses is said to be divided into
three parts. First, there is the radical
element which Is out to smash trusts,
regardless of anything that follows.
Second, those who stand for the trusts
and believe they are good thing, and
third, conservative element, who look
upon the capitalistic organization as a
natural outcome of conditions, much as
the organization of industry on the
side of labor is regarded as the natural
result of present conditions, and they
feel that this situation presents prob
lem that should be studied carefully,
and whatever remedy is proposed to cut
off the abuses should be proceeded with
cautiously, so that good rather than in
furious results may follow. If radical
talk and action is INDUCED in by the
conference more harm than good is like
ly to result. What is wanted is cool
discussion of the subject from its var
ious standpoints, and not ill-considered
assaults. From a conference of the
former kind, much good would undoubt
eddy result.

Rev. Frank W .Gunsaulus, of Chicago,
we'll known as one of the leading d.
vines of the west, has just returned
from a trip to England and Holland
and he makes some interesting COM
ments on the Dreyfus case and condi-
tions in Europe: He says that Maitre
Labor promises to become second
Mirabeau; that Great Britain is Tory
and monarchial to the core; that Joseph
Chamberlain is England incarnate, and
that American principles finds their
warmest sympathizers in Holland.
"You want to keep your eyes on La
bori, said DR.. Gunsaulus. If he sue.
ceeds, he will be the Mirabeau of mod
ern France. If he does not succeed
we'll, he will keep at it until he does.
He may be doing the Dreyfus case in
jury by his aggressiveness, but it is not
the Dreyfus case he is chiefly interested
in.
cit is the magnificent lies of the
French army that he is hitting at. He
is not pleading his case before Col.
Jouaust. He is pleading it before the
world.

that is of no special use to civilization

The news from France is that Drey-
fus is to be pardoned. That will give
Dreyfus his liberty and restore him to
mis- family but it will not remove the
stigma of traitor from his name, nor
the blot that has fastened itself upon
France from his farce trial. What
France should do is through her super
ior courts reverse the finding of the
court martial at Rennes, which was
founded upon prejudice and the desires
of military clique. rather than upon
the evidence presented Unless this is
done France will continue to rest under
the cloud of that farce, though she may
free Dreyfus. for it was not Dreyfus,
but French institutions that were on
trial.
