country. They have kings in other
countries, but in the United States we
call II biggest maj something else.
Does any one know what George Wash
ington was::"
There was silence, and the little faces
were all wrinkled in thought. Then
the little girl that had volunteered the
information that Washington was a
king, and whose father was Il gambler,
said decidedly:
We'll, if he wasn't a king he was q

The talk drifted to the recent wal

Comparative Statements.

Missouri produces more wheat than
the states of New York. kentucky and
Texas combined. Missouri is first in
poultry and first in mules. its yield of
hay surpasses that of Kentucky, Ten
nessec and New jersey. 1t is not only
first in zinc, but il produces as much
of this product as all The other states
of the country combined. In the st. Joe
lead mine ut Bonnie Terre. in St. Fran
co.'s county, it has the largest producer
of lead in the country, the estimated
daily production being in the neigh
norhood of 1,5OO pigs. This one mine

RECEIVER ALLEN
Conects Some Misapprehenson About Sunny
side Canal Litigation.

SPOKANE, Wash. Dec. 4, 1899. Editor
Herald: will you kindly allow me space
to correct some very erroneous impress
sions that must be created by the article
"Sunnyside Litigation" which appeared
10 your last issue. No fault is imputed
| to the HERALD as its article was repro
duced from Tacoma paper of recent
date. Neither is it intended 10 impute to
the latter paper any fault, Both articles
were written with good intent.
But the fact remains that the state
ments contained in these articles and the
necessary differences therefrom are
almost wholly erroneous and mislead-
ing. A stranger to the actual facts
would infer that the Sunnysde farmers,
or large number of them were almost
hopelessly in default in the payment of
their water tax that the receiver had
shut off their water-or threatened so to
do-in order to enforce payment; that
thereby retardng the growth of the
country that the farmers, through some
of the most extensive users of water
among them, had appealed to the court
and that the court had held that back
water tax was not collectable.
Now, each and every one of these
statements and differences would be en-
tirely without foundation and obviously
hurtful in their effect. 1t is not true
that the SunDyside farmers, or any con-
siderable number of them, are behind
payment. 1t is not true that the Re-
ceiver has shut off water from any of
them or threatened so to do, or that there
is any hard feeling on that point or on
any other point. The Sunnyside farmer
Is prompt in his payments and there has
been no trouble whatever on this point.
1t is not true that these petitions were
connected in any way with the Sunny
side farmers as body or any number of
them or had any bearing on them direct
ly or indirectly. Neither is it true, as
would be inferred, that this action was
in any way compromise of misunder-
standing which unfortunately arose a
short time ago on the part OF our Dun
kard settlers.
1t may be said here without impro-
priety and to the great credit of the
Dunkards, that they frankly on a full
consideration of the matter assumed the
entire responsibility of that misunder-
standing and that the same has been hap
PLY settled to their entire satisfaction.

land presumably for speculation, as they
had perfect right TO do. They have
never used water, do not use it now or
desire to do so. They wish to sell their
land but can't do so on account of this
large accumulation of back water tax.
Upon the facts and circumstances shown
the court RENTED the tax, or rather al
lowed the Receiver to do so.
That ia the entire scope of the action.

not used water-to whom no water has
in fact been furnished. But it estab-
fishes no precedent. Each case will be

Farnsworth case is one in point. Farms.
worth. who had never used water, was
allowed to settle all back water tax on a
section Of land for $500.
All cases will be acted on by court
and Receiver in very liberal spirit.
But these are assets belonging to cred.
itors. IL is safe to say that the Receiver
would not be allowed, even if he wished
so to do. to give them away arbitrarily or
by wholesale. Yours truly,

BRYAN, THE INEVITABLE.

1t is now apparent that the backbone
of the Philippine instruction is broken.
Thi, eliminates a disturbing and demon
alizing factor from party consideration or
will relegate it to the rear before the
next presidential conventions meet.
The HERALD has insisted from the be-
ginning of the vexed controversy that, as
we had already expanded, there was but
one wise thing to do and that was to
sink the partisan in the patriot. as Doug
las advised the democracy to do in 1861,
and support the administration in sup.
pressing the rebellion. The name OF i'm
perialism is good enough to coniure with
but, nevertheless, unworthy of serious
consideration, as there is not an imperial
ist in this land of US" as joaquin
Miller would have it. The government
of the archipelago may hereafter become
question upon which parties may
honestly divide. To congress belongs
the settlement OF governmental questions
that NAV effect all our newly acquired
possessions. The people may now turn
their attention to the vital concerns of
home government that were not settled
Ivy the last presidential election and
which never will be settled until they
are settled right
In casting about for leader the con-
sensus of opinion of the forces opposed
to the republican party throughout the
nation is that Bryan should again be the
candidate. To him the new democracy,
north and south, east and west, look
with confidence unshaken and with an
enthusiasm that presages victory. The
people once turned down the glorious
apostle of freedom, Thomas Jefferson, in
1896, on the financial question, as Bryan
was outvoted just century later. But
triumphed four years afterward, result
ing in Jefferson's election in 1900.
The duty of the new democracy is
plain. No man or set of men should be
allowed in this state to so manipulate
local politics as to endanger the union of
reform forces or imperil the victory that
awaits wise and patriotic action. What
is Aguinaldo to us or We to him that we
should hold in allegiance the great prin-
ciples that populists and silver republi'
cans and the rejuvinated democracy
contended so maufully for in the
last election? We have troubles OF our
own and with Bryan as president these
troubles will be reduced to a minimum.

Naming Of the Mountain.
Tacoma Ne wg,

d. s. Johnston gave a very inter
esting interview to Music Trades dur
ing his recent Eastern trip, but his
reference to the historic event of the
discovery and naming of Mount Ia
coma is rich. He is quoted as saying
Several years ago Captain Rainier
explored Puget Sound and discovered
the mountain. The members of hi.
crew christened it after him, Noun,
Rainier"
Yes, it was several years ago. Cap.
tain George Vancouver, an English
man, entered the straits OF San Juan
de Fuca April 80, 1892. and alter
naming and exploring Puget Sound
bestowed the name of an alleged
English English admiral upon the
mountain which was called TahOms
and Tacobet by the several Indian
tribes, and has since been called
Wouk-Wiche by John Miller Murphy
If such a man as Rainier ever lived
his title Of admiral must have been
purely honorary, for the English
naval records have been searched in
vain to find it. In TACT, such a name
cannot be found in the English rec
ords at all, and many students now
doubt that he ever existed, though
how Vancouver ever got the name
is'a mystery.
But it doesn't matter much, Ia.
coma is the mountains name and Ia.
coma it will be after the word .ol
Rainier is forgotten.

A Remarkable Piano,

One Bouchet, who compiled a his
tory of Acquitaine, describes a re-
remarkable pianoforte built for Louis
XI by the Able de Baigne. The
king one day hearing drove of hogs
tuning up preparatory to a general
rush for and promiscuous scramble at
the slop pail, laughingly ordered the
priest to contrive means by which
these seemingly discordant sounds
might produce harmony.
Tradition does not affirm that the
reverend gentleman scratched his
head thereat, but owing to the preva.
lence OF the tonsure it is safe to as
sert that he did not. Notwithstand-
ing which, however, he managed to
nicely grade the drove, from the thin
treble OF the shote to the bassoon
grunt of the tusked boar and, having
arranged them in stalls under q pavil-
ion, announced to his astonished
majesty, who had not thought of the
matter since, that the piano was in
tune. The king, incredulous, at
tended, and when the able struck the
keys there poured forth to the delight
of the entire court a burst of music
such as Orphens never conceived.
The explanation, when the crafty
prelate chose to expose his plan, was
most simple. The keys being struck,
a prong set in motion by the action
was stuck into the pig, grating or
piercing, according to the force and
temperament of the player, the result
ing squeal, howl or groan producing
harmony.
