that this section promises to be for
midable competitor with the Far

WHERE is HE AT?
Colfax Commoner.

Readers OF the Seattle Times are be-
ginning to wonder if the editor really
knows "wherc he is at" on the Philip
pine question. Immediately after
Dewey's victory at Manila, the editor-
ais OF the Times seemed to strongly
favor expansion and the position of
Bryan was criticised. Then the editor
OF the Times went to Chicago and in
teryiewed Bryan. The interview was
published in full and Col. Blethen
stated that the only differences be-
tween himself and Mr.. Bryan on the
Philippine problem were on technical
tiles. Now the Times seems to be 60
ing back to its first love again, for it
says editorially:
at is conundrum, and has been a
matter that has kept the people guess
ing, to know exactly where Col. Bryan
stands on the Philippine problem.
According to his own statement, he
would not pull down the tlag'-and
yet to raise it means deadly assault
from Aguinaldo. Col. Bryan would
not not run away from the Philip
pines-and yet if the American army
doesn't get out Aguinaldo proposes to
kill them all. Col. Bryan would re-
tain naval station and military point
on the island of Luzon-and yet to do
so must be by coercion which is in
violation of the conditions of peace
full government which Col. Bryan
would have established. Col. Bryan
would control the Philippine islands
by a 'protectorate'-but against that
proposition Aguinaldo would fight just
as strongly as he is fighting against
the army under Gen. Otis at the pres
ent moment. Under the circum-
stances it is somewhat difficult to
understand just exactly what Col.
Bryan wants the government to do,
and yet preserve all its rights"
No one who read Col. Bryan's inter-
view with the editor of the Times was
in doubt as to Mr.. Bryan's position.
He stands to-day where he stood then.
He has never advocated pulling
down the flag" but has contended
that it should be raised as a pledge OF
independence to the Filipinos and not
as the emblem of subjugation. He
has never argued that the American
forces should run away, but has urged
that their mission should be to assist
the Filipinos in preparing themselves
for and establishing self government.
Had our forces acted as liberators to
the Filipinos, as they have to the
Cubans, they would gladly have given
US naval station and accepted a pro-
tectorate.
Mr.. Bryan's position on this ques-
ton has been consistent and clear, but
it is a conundrum to know where the
editor of the Times ais at" from one
day to another.

fer From Lack Of Fresh Water and Food.
Tacoma News.
The schooner Abbie E. Morris has
arrived on the Sound direct from
Cape Nome with so passengers and
$4,000 in gold. The schooner was
overcrowded and ran out of fresh
water before reaching Cape Flattery.
Such food as was left could not be
utilized for cooking purposes without
water: The passengers who paid $50
each passage money suffered from the
insuficiency of rations which were
doled out and there was almost a
mutiny.
F. B. Cleaves, one of the passengers,
says:
"On September 25, coal at Nome
was selling at SIS per ton and at S.
per sack, and only one sack of coal
was sold to each man. There were
5000 people there and outside of the
coal brought in the only fuel in
Nome is driftwood on the beach and
that had been used up during the
summer. Supplies were getting
short. potatoes selling at 20 to IS
cents per pound and other things in
like proportion.
"There was rush to get out COM
mencing about September II, when
Snake river froze over. Some $50 or
400 men had tickets to return on the
Laurada, and on the up trip of that
boat the men and merchants OF Nome
relied for supplies of coal and provis-
ions for the winter.
All the passengers on the Morris
are agreed that there will be great
suffering in the Cape Nome country
this winter, caused as much or more
by the scarcity of fuel than by the
scarcity of provisions.
As to the richness of the Cape
Nome country, it is pronounced by
far the best yet discovered, but say
that nearly every claim of value had
been taken up in the interior, viz, in
the gulches, while the beach diggings
were only paying small amounts to-
ward the close of the season. They
say that any hope of getting relief
from st. Michael at Nome during the
winter, especially in the fuel line, is
nonsense.
Mr.. Edison has devised an instru-
ment for talking q hole through a

the wizard was in Washington a
while ago, an examiner of patents
spoke to him casually on the subject,
and, struck by an inspiration, he sat
down and drew a sketch of the appa-
ratus in question, which consists pri-
marily of diaphragm, a ratchet, and
toothed wheel. When one talks at
the diaphragm its vibrations cause the
wheel to revolve, and through the ia

Trees by };oadSiGcS.

That trees are beautiful and that
when they are fruit trees they may be
made profitable also does not decide
their adaptability for planting byroad-
sides. They are in the wa Tor many
necessary grading improvements, and
when the tree is in leaf it is quite apt
to keep the wagon track from drying
out, and thus becomes an II jury rather
than 8 benefit. Besides even an APP
pie tree is likely when it gets to bear
ing size 80 seld its roots under the
fence into the adjoining fields. We
have known farmers who planted fruit
trees IN the line Of the fence, thinking
to use the trees to fasten barbed wire
on when the trees were large enough.
But we never saw any Of the trees thus
planted grow large enough to bear a
paying crop. The truth Is that the
orchard needs careful treatment and
cultivation. What it gets when planted
by the roadside is not enough.

Winter Butter Maxim: on the Farm.

Dairymen who expect to make but
ter this winter and produce it at a
profit, should be prepared to conform
to certain conditions. First, cold
weather, unless successfully conbated,
is antagonistic to the production of
milk. Milk must be had both of good
quality and liberal in quantity, to in
sure raw material for butter manufac-
ture.
It is imperative then that the COWS
be surrounded by warmth, to husband
the animal heat within, and be fed
well-balanced rations conducive to the
highest production Of milk. To give
one without the other would be to
cause the COWS to shrink in yield. A
mich COW in winter needs the high
est grade Of care-thorough, system
attic care, given by an experienced
and conscientious hand. Regul.rit.,
in feeding AID milking must be en-
forced and the stable kept sweet and
