JOHN BARRETT, minister to Siam in
President Cleveland's first term and
who has just returned from the Philip
pines, makes this forcible statement
"The payment of $4,000. 900 for the
Philippines is mere bagatelle com:
pared to their real value. That sum
would hardly pay for the public prop.
erty and real estate which we get from
Spain. The wealth of the islands is
well known, and lin the future they
may control the commerce Of the East.
There are over 1000 separate islands,
having an area of 100000 to $4,000
square miles, nearly equal to that of
Great Britain and Ireland; popula-
ton of 100000, an annual foreign
trade of $50, 100000 Tor one-fifth that of
the Japanese empire), and controlling
the approaches of $500, 600, OOO;of foreign
trade with SOC, 1000, 900 Asiatics. To &C
quire control over such an important
archipelago means a mighty step in ad.
vance for the United States, and an
expansion of our trade which cannot
be we'll measured in dollars and cents
at this early day."

ELIZABETH McLEAN-CULvER.

DIED:-At the home of her parents, at Fair
haven, Washington, Tuesday, June 6, 1892
Elizabeth McLean-culver wife of Fred N. Gull
years, 10 months and 70 days.
The funeral service took place at the
house, Thursday morning, June Sth, at
10 O'Clock, and the interment at Bay View
cemetery, Whatcom The services were
conducted by Rev. j. A. Laurie, Of the
Presbyterian church, who read the beau
tiful burial service of the Episcopal
church, of which Mrs. Culver had been a
member for a number of years. The pail
bearers were Mr.. John Black, Mr.. Cyrus
Gates, Mr.. Roland G. Gamwell, Mr.. r. G.
Higginson, Mr.. J. H. kirkpatrick and
Mr.. Thos. G. Newman. The floral offer
ings were many and beautiful and the
house was crowded by the many friends
who came to show their sympathy for the
living and their respect and esteem for
the dead.
Elizabeth Green Burns Mclean was
born at Brantford, Ontario, Canada, July
Is, 1865. Her father. Alexander Mclean,
was for many years master mechanic Of
the principal divisions of the Grand
Trunk Railway of Canada, and later
master mechanic of the Winnipeg di-
vision OF the Canadian Pacific. He re-
his family to st. Paul, where they resided
the Sound. He was master mechanic
of the Fairhaven Il Southern Railway
during its construction and until
the road passed into the control of the
Great Northern, since which time he has
retired from active life, living quietly at
Fairhaven with his wife and family. 1t
was there that Mr.. and Mrs. Culver were
married, September l, 1896. A few days
! afterward they came to their new home
here, where the happiest days of their
short married life were spent and where
their little daughter Margaret, now two
years old, was born in the following year
Mrs. Culver's health was never good
after the birth of little Margaret, and for
some time previously, but she managed
to keep about her household duties until
little over year ago, when she went to
Whatcom for medical and surgical treat
ment. But all that the best medical skill
could do availed only to prolong her life
little and give occasional Keller from the
terrible pain with which she suffered al
most constantly until the end. Her chief
physician was DIR. A. B. McKinnOn, of
Fairhaven, who gave her not only skill
full doctors care, but also the unremitt-
ing care and attention of dear and faith
| full friend. Life was dear to her and she
chung to it with remarkable tenacity, but
the dread disease from which she suf-
fered, tubercular peritonitis, had made
| too great inrOads to be stayed. She was
patient, loving and thoughtful of others
| always and the recording angel who
writes the record Of her years can find
only good to note with smiles and naught
of ill to blot with tears.
Besides the husband and little daugh-
ter, her father and mother, two brothers,
William and Archibald, and one sister,
Mrs. Jas. L. Gander, survive her.

Che Oficial PAPER of San Juan County,
THURSDAY, JUNE Is, 1899.
CHURCH PROSPERITY.

At the general assembly of the Pres
byterian church, which has just been
held in Minneapolis and to which our
fellow townsmen, Mr.. J. A. Gould, was
a lay delegate, it was announced that
the board of home missions of the
church had, during the last year, in
addition to carrying on its regular
work, wiped out a debt of more than
$4,000 which had been gradually
piling up against it. This is splendid
tribute to the prosperity Of the country
and to the policy under which such
prosperity has been achieved. The
records of the Presbyterian assembly
afford further testimony as to the mar
velous prosperity which exists today.
When all the reports were lin it was
found that every department of the
church was free from debt with the
exception of the "freedman's board"
which has debt of $4,000. Ageneral
call was sent out on Saturday, May 20,
to Presbyterian churches to raise the
debt by collections on the next day,
Sunday, May 81. On Monday, May
%, the moderator of the assembly re
ceived by telegraph from various
churches reports of the collections
taken on the previous day, which as
sured him, not only that the debt of
$4,000 had been wibed out by the
church collections of that single day,
but that there was balance of some
$4,000 to spare.
Commenting on these facts the
Americn Economist says: "The tale
of American prosperity which is wrap
ped up in these few facts is marvel
Gus one. Fancy the response which a
hurried call for $4,000 to be raised
from the collections to be made upon
the following day in the churches OF a
single denomination in the country
would have received in the days OF
Cleveland, tariff reform and the Wilson
law. Men could not pay their own
debts then; much less were they able
to pay church debts.
SIT is not improbable that the men,
bers of the assembly sang. apropos Of
the above facts, Praise God from
whom all blessings fiow.' Some one
should have added a new stanza to the
old doxology to express thanks that
the majority Of the American people
have sense enough to use their bless
ings and to make the most Of the
natural resources of the country by
giving proper protection to its indus.

LET US HONOR THE FALLEN.

A committee of representative citi-
zens of Olympia has been appointed to
solicit funds for the erection of a
suitable monument to the memory of
the brave Washington soldiers who
died of wounds or disease in the Cuban
war, or have since laid down their lives
for their country in the distant Philip.
pines. The call should meet with
prompt and generous response from
the people of this grand state. In no
more fitting way can they show their
appreciation of the heroism of the
brave volunteers who were among the
first to respond to their country's call
to war against Spanish tyranny in
Cuba, and who were equally quick to
answer to the call for volunteers for
services in the far away isles of the
Pacific, where the stars and stripes
give notice to the world that Spain's
four centuries of tyranny there are
ended, and at the same time invite the
rebellious and misguided natives to
seek and find beneath the folds of our
loved flag protection, progress, pros.
perity and peace. No regiment has
gained more honors or higher COM
mendatlon during the war than the
one of which Gen. Chas. King, Just
arrived from the Philippines, says:
'The First Washington was the best
drilled and best disciplined regiment in
the Philippines, and no regiment of
regulars was its superior in battle. To
my thinking there has never been a
finer regiment of volunteers than this. u
To the living, the people of the state
will soon have ample opportunity to
pay the honors tLat are their due, but
to the memory of those who "sleep the
sleep that knows no waking,n far away
from home and kindred, under the
tropic sun, monument should be
erected which will testify to future
generations the esteem in which they
ere and ever will be held by a great and
grateful people. 1t is fitting chat this
should be erected at the capital of the
state and it must be noble shaft if il
does full credit to the commonwealth
and its soldier heroes.
