The discovery of the Buffalo,
Mallick. Salmon river and South
Fork mines almost simultaneously
seems to the mining world to be
almost incredulous, The fact is
these great ore deposits are not dis
coveries of this season. Like the ag-
ricultural wealth of the Clearwater
basin, the mineral wealth has wait
ed upon opportunity. 1t has been
known to observing prospectors
that great wealth was held in the
reefs that crossed the canyons and
the assures that scanned the noun
tains of this region. 1t has been
known for twenty years that the
Seven Devils held wealth equal to
Anaconda, but this wealth was not
available. The prospectors have
been carrying 1000 mineral claims,
mostly quartz, in this district. The
assessment on these claims has
been perpetual evidence for years
that the prospectors, the men best
qualified to judge, knew of the ex-
istence of this wealth before the
developments Of this season brought
the fact to the attention of the min
ing world. The miners knew oil
the existence of mineral wealth
here as we'll as the farmers knew
the agricultural wealth Of the in.
terror existed long before facilities
for transportation made that wealth
available. The mineral wealth oil
this great district is not an acct
dental discovery of the year as it is
resource made available by the
conditions that have come to the
mining industry, in new machinery
and new processes, and to the dis.
trict by development of Transports
ton facilities and the diversion oil
capital to mining interests.

mands for reparation in this case.
which now seems to be a grave
breach of international honor. 1t
would seem that England was
equally involved with the United
States in this imminent conflict. 1t
may he expected, however, If his
tory is a guide, that England will
be diguifed spectator while the
conflict of diplomacy or arms RACES.
From the briet dispatches it ap-
pears that Germany has arrogently
disregarded solemn compact in
which the three great powers had
Joined for the promotion Of peace
in the Samoan islands. The Unit
ed States representative took the
initiative in enforcing the terms Of
the agreement, expecting the sup
port of the other powers. Germany
openly opposed the course taken by
this government in directing the
affairs of government in Samoa to
which the three great powers had
previously been committed by an
agreement made in Berlin some
years ago. The result is conflict
of arms which is almost open war.
fare between Germany and Amer
lea, as Germany openly supports
the Samoan rebels whom this gov
nment is cndeavoring to subdue.
1t also seems from the neager re.
ports that crisis is at hand. Only
the hope remains that the reports
are exaggerated. We can scarcely
hope for a rational peace policy
to emenate from the emperor o
Germany, and nothing else at this
time would appease the righteous
Indignation at open insult.

1t is generally conceded that the
Philippine peace proclamation was
liberal in its term and statesman
like in its conception. 1t effectually
disarmed the obstructionists all
over the country. 1t left no doubt
about the policy of this govern
ment. With this proclamation in
evidence there is no excuse for the
inaudlin outcry of imperialism.
The attempt to extend the
authority over the islands was an
effort to extend civilization and
liberty to the natives of these
/ stands.

Vineland Management,

Prof. A. B. I.eckenby, an expert of
the United States Department Of Ag-
riculture; visited Vineland the other
day. Prof. Reckenby had four years
experience as chief advisor and irri-
cation expert to the great Kern
County Land company of California,
and has spent many years in study
of colony work on irrigated lands.
1t is therefore of great interest to
know that he endorses the methods
of the management as being the
best he has seen in vogue in
any similar enterprise, and worthy
of emulation by managers of other
companies. The policy of the Vine
land company is to encourage and
assist the thrifty settler in all proper
ways; not with money, but with easy
payments for the lands, furnishing
employment for surplus labor, and
especially in giving each settler the
benefit Of years Of study and exper-
fence in irrigation farming, and home
building, while never interfering
with man IS independence in thought
and action. Careful restrictions in
the contracts and deeds mutually pro-
tect all Of the settlers, as well as the
company, and are found to work we'll
in practice.

and Japan in -four. What they
will bring back nobody knows. A
hundred to one they will have to
come back in ballast.
The reason why trade westward
from the Pacific slope to Asia suf-
fers is because of lack of shipments
eastward. Everything we could
buy from Asia is heavily taxed.
Tea, silks and mating are the
principal articles. The Dinghy
law increased the duties on silk,
and over the protests Of consumers
and shippers alike clapped a duty
on Japanese mating. Tea is taxed
while coffee goes free. And not
silks, tea or mating have the ex-
cuse Of protection of home indus
try. for none are produced here.
1t is impossible to suppose that
prescription OIL Pacific coast trade,
protection of the Canadian Pacific
and defeat Of the Nicaragua canal
are matters of legislative iuadvert-
ence. A studied purpose is proved.
Every member OF congress from
the Pacific slope should be heard
from OH these topics in the fifty
sixth congress. And if he is not
the people should endeavor to fint

English merchants are alarmed

English merchants are alarmed
at the increasing demand for
American goods in China and Jap
am, says the Statesman. The de-
maud has grown to such proper
tons that it taxes the capacity of
the Pacific steamship lines. This
is one result Of expansion 1t has
long been clear to Our people that
they must increase their foreign
trade, and it is becoming equally
clear to great majority that we
must stand forth as world power
If we are to command large share
Of the world business. The world
does not trade with nations that
are Insignificant; trade follows the
flag, and this is shown by the in
crease of our business in the Orient.
We have established ourselves
there in manner that commands
confidence and respect and trade
statistics already show the benefit
accruing. If we should retreat
from the Philippines. this new adj
vantage would be irretrievably lost.

Lewiston is in danger, at this
time, Of an outbreak Of crime such
as was never known here before.
With the rush of people to this
city the criminal element is not
left behind. The introduction of
strangers into the city affords OPP
portunities for crime. The people
Of Lewiston have never learned to
be cautious. The criminal who
may be in our midst is tempted by
the carelessness of the people. The
citizen owes il to the public to re-
move as far as possible the tempta-
tion to commit crime.
