Traps a Menace Everywhere.

The fish trap question will come up
for settlement before the present legis-
lature. How to deal fairly to all
parties is one of the questions that
each member of the legislature must
settle for himself. Without entering
into the merit of the trap question,
there is one point upon which every
resident of this county can agree, save
those who are personally interested
otherwise, and that is that the Skagit
river should be kept open for the fish
to ascend. To do this it will be neces-
sary to adopt such legislation as will
protect Deception pass from fish traps.
The writer is aware from personal OBJ
servation that almost the entire num-
Der of salmon that ascend the river
comes through the pass.-Skagit News

How to Find Out.

Fill bottle or common glass with your water
and let it stand twenty-fOur hours: sediment

the Kidneys If 1t stains your linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble; too frequent desire to pass it
or pain in the back is also convincing proof
that the kidneys and bladder are out of order,
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so often
expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the
great kidney remedy fulflls every wish in cur
ing rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys,
liver, bladder and everv part of the urinary pas
sages. 1t corrects inability to hold water and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects follow
ing use of liquor, wine or beer. and OvereOmes
that unpleasant necessity of being compelled
to go often during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and the ex-
traordinary effect of Swamp Root is soon realiz-
ed. 1t stands the highest for its wonderful cures
of the most distressing cases. If you need a

from their circulation is not sufficient
to justify them in issuing a larger
amount, but any method of increasing
the profit on circulation will result in
an increase. It is true that the
authorization of an Issue of currency to
the par of the deposited bonds, subject
to the present rate of tax, is one
method of inducing a larger cir
culation, but it is not the
only method. By modification of the
present rate of taxation on bank
notes, coupled with the authorization
of issues to the par of the bonds, the
same inducements can be offered for a
larger circulation and yet provision
be made for a secured emergency circu-
1ation.
The comptroller, therefore, recon-
mends legislation authorizing the is
suance of national bank note circula-
ton to the par of the deposited United
States bonds, and that the additional
10 per cent. circulation thus allowed
the banks be subjected to tax at the
rate of 2 or per cent. per annum for
the time used, which will tend to pre-
vent it's unrestricted use under normal
conditions, and to save it for use at
those periods of the year when crops
are to be moved, and in
those periods of panic when it is
most valuable to the banks and the
business public as a means Of assist
ing the general liquidation of credits.
With the object of securing an increase
in the present bank note circulation,
the comptroller recommends the re-
duction or adjustment of the present
tax of per cent. per year on the
circulation to 80 per cent. of the de-
posted bonds-the amount of the re-
duction in the tax on currency to be
collected from the necessary per cent
Of tax on theTcapital and surplus OF
national banks II requisite to the pub
lie revenues. To allow the banks to
issue up to the par of the bonds, I'M
subjected to additional tax on the 10
per cent. extra circulation, will re-
suit in their Immediately taking out
their additional circulation for the pur-
pose of profit. Business credits will be
extended and adjusted to correspond
with such increase of the currency,
and practically the same elasticity will
our bank note issues then
as now. With the advent of a panic
we would have no additional means Of
the necessity of call upon
the business community to furnish, by
the repayment of loans, practically the
bulk of the deposits drawn by fright
9ned depositors.

BLOCKS IT
LITTLE NEWS COMING IN FROM
SEAT OF WAR.
SEVERAL BATTLES EXPECTED
Belief That When Communication Is
Restored News of Four Conflicts
Will Be Received Relieving
Kimberley Methuen Will Go to Aid
of Mafeking.

London, Nov 29.-Virtually the only
fresh news from the front is contained
in a dispatch of Gen. Forrester-Walker
TO the war office. The cables continue
silent, presumably because OF Gen.
Buffers desire TO prevent leakage re-
garding important movements pelng
carried on. 1t seems clear, however,
that Lord Methuen is continuing to ad-
vance rapidly and that finding the rail-
wav much damaged, he left it behind
him. When Geographic commun1ca-
ton is resumed it is quite possible
news may come Of four simultaneous
battles at Modder river, Arundel,
Stormberg and Colenso. AS the beers,
according to Gen. Forester Walker S
advices. were leaving Kimberley for
the south. it is regarded as not 1mpos-
sible that Col. Kelwich is already
marching with 1000 troops to meet
Lord Methuen. 1t is believed That after
the relief of Kimberley Lord Methuen
will proceed to the relief of Mafeking,
about which considerable anxiety is
still felt Lieut.. Gen. Sir Charles
Mansfield Clarke, it is reported, Will
be commander of the sixth division
The latest phase Of the mobilization OF

Manila, Nov. 29.-When the Mana
eunse anchored in Manila bay Tues
dav morning, 33 days from San Fran
cisco, there was several feet OF water
in her hold and 400 grimy, greasy,
hungry, exhausted soldiers and sailors
who had been passing buckets OF water
since Nov. II night and day. The cap
tain said the only thing which brought
them through was the fact that the
men were greenhorns and failed to real
ize their danger, while experienced
seamen would have deserted the ship
and taken to boats in mid-ocean. The
Manauense is a chartered ship, flying
the British flag. She belongs to firm
of which Senator Perkins of San Fran
cisco is alleged to be the Junior mem
Der. She started from San Francisco
accompanied by the transport Pek1n
which carried the remainder OF the
rn~ and encountered heavy seas
to Honolulu without accident. After
starting, it developed she was under
manned and soldiers had to- be detailed
to act as firemen and coal passers and
for other work. Before reaching Homo
lulu the crew concluded the ship was
not safe and majority agreed to de-
sert. Though they were closely
watched, many Of the crew succeeded
in getting away and the Manauense
left Honolulu with less than half
crew. The captain of the transport
told Col. Hayes the vessel had sprung
a leak and investigation resulted in
finding several feet of water in her
hold. Steam pumps were tried but
failed to work and there were no hand
pumps on board. Several heavy buck
cts were found and others improv1sed
by soldiers not employed in working
the ship and were organized into five
shifts and stripped, forming lines,
they began bailing, the officers work
ing with the men, passing buckets
which were sent UP to the deck by a
w1ndlass. The longest time the shift
could stand was two hours and often
The period was not longer than half an
hour. The bailing continued until the
ship anchored here.
