TRUST BARONS
CAN'T AGREE
Oxnard Questions Have
meyers Statements.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 22.-Henry T.
Oxnard, president of the American
Beet Sugar Producers Association,
has prepared reply to II. o. Have
meyers recent Argument before the
industrial commission at Washington.
He fatty denies many OF Mr.. Have
meyers statements, and accuses that
gentlemen Of seeking to destroy the
American beetsuRar industry in Or
der to foster the refineries that handle
foreign raw material, besides attempt
ing TO divert public attention from the
sugar trust by attacking the tariff. In
the Morning Call, Mr.. Oxnard says:
THE two largest, In fact, The pioneer
trusts in the country as every one
knows. are the Standard OIL and
Sugar trusts. The Standard Oil Com
pany does not enjoy its monopoly from
the tariff and the American Sugar Re-
fning Company, according to Mr..
Havemeyer. receives ouly 81 per cent
protection. How absurd then, It is to
say that the tariff is responsible for
trusts. But right here, wish to dis
pute Mr.. Hayemeyer's statement re-
garding the protection afforded to
sugar refining, claiming that 1t only
receives a protection OF 81 per cent.
"In the Dingley tariff act sugar re-
fining receives protection of an
eighth of a cent per pound and the
testimony produced before the ways
aud means ommittee, of which Mr..
Dingley was chairman, brought out
the fact that sugar in modern re-
tinery, with the best machinery, we'll
located, can be refined at q cost of
bout a quarter Of cent per pound.
We therefore find that sugar refining
under these conditions Is receiving a
protection of not 81, but so per cent
ad valorem, based on the process Of
refining sugar. The protection grant,
ed the sugar-producers, who make the
article OF sugar itself, is so per cent on
the cost of raw sugar today, or identi-
cal with the protection granted the
sugar-refiniug companies.n

ABERDEEN. WASH, June 20.-Two
weeks ago ten boxes of salmon were
stolen from Damon's wharf, on Gray's
harbor, about II miles from Aberdeen.
Suspicion was directed to Joseph An.
derson and Daniel Downing, fisher
men living In the vicinity. Officers
armed with warrants searched the hut
of Downing but found no traces of the
missing fish. Anderson could not he

was found buried in the sand. The re.
mains were.I buried, but the coroner
became suspicious and exhumed them.
Upon opening the coffin ghastly
sight was presented. The head of.the
body dropped back, disclosing clean
cut from ear to ear, while the skull had
been crushed with some blunt instru-
meut. Downing has just been arrested
and charged with murder.

There is every indication that the
proposed boat railway will never be
built around the falls between here
and Cello, as the best engineers of the
country are opposed to it and boat
owners do not want it. Therefore the
policy for the representatives of Ore

gress to pursue is to demand canal and
locks. In the mean time, if they

THE WAR IS
NOT OVER
One Hundred Thousand
Men Needed in the
Philippines.

SAN FRANCISCO. June 21.-Dr. Chas.
A. McQuesten. who was ON the staff OF
General Otis, and who was health CT
ficer at MaIila, has returned home,
invalided by the climate.
Captain McQuesten made a close
study of the conditions of the Philip
pine situation. He is of the opinion
that it will take from 1000 to $50, 900
soldiers to properly subdue and hold
the islands. He also says that the
peace commission was an absolute
failure, and that its work from the
start was without effect. He strongly
supports the military government of
the islands, except that he thinks
more men will be necessary than has
been estimated.
"Dr. Schurman knows that the
commission is a failure and Is coming
home in July, said Captain LcQuesten.
."Unless troops. thousa ds of them,
are sent to the aid of our meu there,
they will be driven back into Manila
in the course of the next few months,
during the rainy season. Our men
simply cannot stand the climate.
Fifty per cent Of them will be incapaci.
tated by sickness. Manila will be In a
state of siege again.
"One OF the great dangers that our
men have to face is the climate. The
newcomers will be at disadva tage
because the volunteers who are re.
turning home are Injured to the climate.
As a matter OF belief, the Filipinos
think they have the Americans licked
already.
"One solution of the situation might
be to enlist colored troops from the
Gulf states, and this might settle
some of the race questions of that sec-
tion. These men would be better able
to stand the climatic conditions around
Manila, and it has been proven that
they are good fighters.
II want to say a word for the West
ern volunteers. They make the finest
soldiers In the world. and their tight.
ing qualities are wonderful. But the
volunteers are all anxious to return
home, and 1 hardly think that the
plan to enlist three skeleton regiments
from the volunteers now 10 the Phil
ippines will be a success. The men
enlisted to fight fol their country, AID
they are not the kind of men who
want to stay and fight an insurrection
for money or the fun of fighting"

WHO OWNS 11s

The matter of ownership to the
water of Mill creek, from which the
water supply of The Dalles is obtained.
is one that must be determined ere
long. 1t appears that when the city
bought out the old water company's
plant, an agreement was entered into
whereby The Dalles LAUNDERING Co.
was to allow the reservoirs supplied
through their fume for a period of ten
years. The time for which this priv.
ilege was granted has expired, and
now the lum bering company demands
of the city 1000 a year for the use of
their fume. In this the numbering
company appears to have the best OF
the city at present, for unless the
water is conveyed in the fume it will
have to run down the natural channel
of the creek considerable distance,
which will cause considerable loss by
evaporation, and il is possible the
supply may be cut short. But eventu
ally the city will be able to control
the water az its rights are prior to
those of the company.
The matter, to say the least, is COM
plicated, and is liable to cause consid-
erable trouble before it is settled,
for it must be determined if the lum-
herring company has any rights con.
flicting with those OF the city, and if
it has. what the rights are. If the
numbering company's claims are such
as to interfere with the city. they will
have to be settled either by purchase
or condemnation proceedings. for the
city's water supply cannot be threat
cred with safety. This is q question
that should receive the immediate at
tention Of the water commissions; in
fact it should have been settled long
ago, but it has not been, though longer
delay might cause serious inconven-
fence.
In this connection it might be we'll |
for the commission to consider the |
proposition of constructing pipe line
from the reservoir up the creek to a
point above the settlements, for by no
other way can perfectly pure water
supply be furnished the city. At all
agents let the title to the water be
,ettled, and then as it can be afforded
! pipe line should be put in.
The Northwest Herald tells the
ruth when it says: "The fighting ct
Manila is not over and there does not
eem to be any probable peace in the
lear future there. So long as the
administration holds
trIct cenorship over the press dis
'atches the backbone Of the insurrec-
