THE PHILIPPINE SITUATION
Says the War Is Over But
Guerrilla Bands Are Caus-
ing Trouble.
Found the Filipinos in General
to Be Kind, Courteous and
Intelligent.

SAN FRANC1sco, March S.-Genera
Joseph Wheeler and party, who have
been in quarantine since their arrival
from the Philippines on the transport
Warren last Monday, have been per-
mitted to land. When seen by an As
sociated Press reporter General Wheeler
said that his health was excellent and
that his trip to the Philippines had, if
anything, benefited him physically.
He said:
II had a very interesting visit to
Guam. 1t is a beautiful island. rode
over u great deal Of it, traversing its
length and crossing it three times. I
visited all it's towns aud was much
pleased with the people. Their hospi-
tality and apparent desire to express
good feeling toward Americans was
very gratifying"
Speaking Of his resignation from the
army, General Wheeler said he resigned
Nov. 20, but was not ordered home I'M
til the middle of January. He did not
care to discuss his reasons for leaving
the army. After a brief stay in this
city General Wheeler will go to WASH
ington to take his seat in congress.
Philippine War About Over.
AS to the situation in the Philippines
and Guam he said:
"An is very satisfactory in both
places. The war is over except for the
work Of the guerrilla bands that am
bush our troops and do little damage.
Just before l left I heard of a case in
which an American soldier was killed
and several wounded. This condition
of things will not last long, l think.
II was much pleased with the Fill
Pine people. They are intelligent, cour-
teous and kind. They are not disposed
to revolution and violence, but the false
representations made to them regarding
Americans very naturally aroused them
and led them to believe that resistance
to our rule was the only possible escape
from impending evil.
II found that when they learned the
real character and the purposes Of
Americans they seemed well reoonciled
to our government and I firmly believe
that after the establishment of q good
and wise civil administration of affairs
an era Of great prosperity will bless the
people of the archipelago"

Real Estate Prices.

KOlIa Star.
Real estate is increasing in value all
over Rolette county. Three or four
years ago $500 to $500 would purchase
almost any quarter section of land in
the western part of the county. To-
day it Is different. Ole E. Peterson
had occasion to write to a farmer near
Dunseith last week to know what he
would sell his tree claim for. The
farmer replied that he wanted $1,000
spot cash. About one-third of this
claim is meadow land. And this is a
fair sample of the constantly increas-
ing land values of Rolette county.

Senator Lodges Speech on the Philippines
Attracts Many Auditors.
WASHINGTON, March 8.-The senate
seldom accords to any of its members q
greater compliment than it gave to Mr..
Lodge (Mass.). The announcement
that he would deliver a speech on the
Philippine question drew to the senate
every senator now in the city and to the
galleries an unusually large number of.
auditors. Throughout the delivery Of
the speech, despite the fact that it con-
sumed three hours, the Massachusetts
senator was given close attention.
When he had. concluded he was over.
whelmed with congratulations from
both sides Of the chamber.

fellowship all without regard to creed
will be pleased to listen to his re-
marks.
Parties who are "slow" in securing
lots may read the following.

Edgar LaRue, Devils Lake, N. Oak.
Dear Sir: I will take the lot you
write about, as being the second one
from mine in the same block. You
can send the deed to me and I will re-
NIT the 500. I shall be up to the
grounds as soon as spring work begins
and arrange for the building Of a
cottage. Name witheld.)
The board is in receipt of hundreds
of applications to appear on the plat
form, but great care is being exercised
in the selection of all talent, the in
tention being to engage those having
the best qualifications for the work to
be done.
Prosser & Serumgard, enterprising
machine men and enthusiastic Chau-
rauqusns, will place on the grounds
at their own expense q Fairbanks
engine of sufficient power to pump
and elevate into a large tank the
water to be used by the campers.
They also agree to furnish a man to
operate and care for the same. This
offer is appreciated by the manage
ment, and its value to the Chautauqu-
ans cannot be estimated. The water
from the main reservoir will be piped
to different parts Of the grounds, put
ting same in easy reach of all. Lovers
Of the Lake bath must be getting
their courage up to the right point or
they will be able to make the
descent down the toboggan slide to be
erected. When nee started down,
you simply have to take all the de-
grees just like joining a lodge.
Col. Creel made the pleasing an
~nouncement that the Shriners had
been prevailed upon to come to us
during the assembly, provided rates
could be secured, and the colonel i'm
mediately obtained rates of the Great
Northern. They will come in a train
composed Of sleepers, have the same
switched onto the Chautauqua track,
and thus have their own houses during
their stay, and all without a change of
cars.
Several other attractions are already
secured, and much other information
regarding general operations are COM
pleted but lack of space forbids further
elaboration in this issue.
