Admiral Dewey has gained ali
the honor aad glory obtainable from
the American people. But he now
asks for more and with the asking
has taken away a tremendously
large per centum OF the honor won
on that memorable May Ist, two
years ago. He has nothing to win
in the race for president, but may
lose all. The presidential bee has
been set lbuzzing in his bonnet and
nothing but death or defeat will
stop il. 1t is the influence of a
proud and ambitious wife brought
to bear upon an old man. and spurfed
on by designing politicians. The
physical and mental exhaustion IN
cident to a presidential campaign
will only serve to hasten the day
when Dewey will pass to that un-
discovered country where presi.
dental possibilities do not exist.

Demands from all over the conn
try for information as to water sup
ply and for irrigation investigation
and surveys have been so great that
the modest appropriation made by
last Congress to the Geological Sur
vey fos this purpose has been ex-
hausted long before the end Of the
fiscal yeax. and such work has been
brought to 2 stands.iu. But now,

II am particularly gratified, "
said Mr.. =. H. Newell, the Hydro
grapher of the Geological Survey,
and in charge of irrigation matters,
lat this action of Congress, not SO
much in allowing the appropria-
tion, though We need that badly,
but in so declaring its temper in re-
gard to this work"
Senator Bard introduced the a.
niendment and along with Senator
Carter and other western friends OF
irrigation in the senate. urged its
adoption. Senator Perkins, being
on the committee having the bill in
charge, was in 2 position to assist
materially. In the House, Con-
gressmen Needham and Kahn
worked haId. Anything pertaining
to irrigation which is cut of the or
dinary. has a difficult time Of it in
getting through the House, where
western representation is so COM
paratiyely slight.
"This work We are DOING" coa-
tinued Mr.. Newell, meets more
than western demand, and it is a
good sign for the West that it does.
All Through the East there is de-
mand for water gauging and stream
measurement by the government,
for basing estimates in erecting
manufacturing plants proposing to
utilize water power. All this work
which We have been doing in stream
measurement, surveys Of reservoir

Are vsur Prices Rxnse

Unless they are prepared to stand
a large balance on the wrong side
Of the ledger at the close of 1900,
most printers will be obliged to ad-
vance prices considerably this year
if they have not already done so.
AS former occupant of the presi-
Dental chair remarked upon mem.
orabis occasion, ut is a condition
and not theory that cOnfronts US. -
OF course the chief factor in the
condition that now confronts every
printer, is the unprecedented ad.
vance in the COST Of blank paper, as
prices on many grades Of paper stock
have almost doubled within the past
year. Another thing that the pro,
prietors Of smaller Offices in particu.
lar must take into consideration. is
the increased cost of living. as the
advance iu prices has been quite
general in other lines aside FROM pa,
per. In the lines that directly af
feet every proprietor, whether hi.
Office be large or small, it is also
worthy Of note that the price Of al
machinery has advanced materially
and that type aud other printshor
necessities have followed suit. More
over prices promise to 90 higher
rather than lower. judging by thu
reports from the metal and WOOD
markets.
Now then, Mr. Printer, taking al
these facts into consideration. is Il

George w. Hume. the veteran can

day by an Astorian reporter. When
asked as TO his views concerning the

Il have been in the fishing business

vinced that know nothing Of the busi-

Mr. Hume could not suppress smile
as he said this. But. growing more
serious. he said:
Il believe that the fish traps. the
fish wheeIe and the seines should be
prohibited by law. and the next legiS-
lature win act in he interests of the
fishing industry at large II It prohibits
further operation for few years"
do you mean to say that you are
In favor OF stopping all fishing save
by gill-nets?" was asked.
Yes, sir" was the prompt reply.
Continuing. Mr.. Hume said he had
been engaged in the cannery business
on the Sacramento river. California,
for several years. that he had watched
the situation there closely and had be-
come satisfied as TO the cause leading
10 the decline Of the industry There
