The Redwood of California.

Harry j. Trinwith, formerly of this
place now auditor and purchasing
agent of Eureka and klamath River
r . r. Co., of California, in friend.
ly note to the publishers of this paper
says:
The president of our Oregon roads
has lately acquired this line of road
together with large redwood lumber
ing and milling interests, and has
placed the property in the hands OF
new officers for accomplishment. The
Northern extension is being pushed
with good success along the coast
through the redwoods.
"You have no doubt read great
deal relative to the immense size OF
the redwood, which graces only this
section Of California, and | will ven
ture the assertion that no descriptive
matter ever published, however elab-
crate, is an eXaggeratiOn of the real
facts. They are truly wonderful and
must be seen to be fully appreciated.
"The climate is gOod-much the
same as the Willamette Valley, in
Oregon, with an annual precipitation
of about 30 inches of rain, with cool
summers and mild winters that should
satisfy the most eXacting."

National Irrigation Work

Cheyenne, Wyo.-Hon. Ellwood Mead, chief of the United States ir- rigation bureau, has returned from California. He said the headquarters of the bureau would be retained at Cheyenne, which was favorably To- cated for it's field of operations in the arid belt.
 Referring to the work of the bureau for the coming season, he said they had planned several special lines of investigation. One would be the selec- tion of some river in California to make an exhaustive examination of it's irrigating capacity, with all it's canal systems, measuring the flow of water the entire season, the amount of acre. age watered, the amount of water lost by seepage and evaporation in trans mission, the cost per acre, the different allowances for fruit orchards and ag- ricultural crops, etc., also the com- parative results in value and labor on adjoining lands cultivated from natural waterfall.
 The same study will be made on one stream in Nevada and another in Idaho. In Utah an investigation will be made of the water rights of the state, compilation of the laws and decisions in water controversies and their practical results.

WHITE RIVER CAVES
Prospectors Will Search for Gold and
 Copper

Vancouver, B. C.-To explore the upper reaches of the White river, a tributary of the Yukon. is the object of large party of prospectors who left here for the north by the steamer City of Seattle. The party is in charge of Captain Angus Mclean, who had, two years ago. charge of the Dawson business of the Stewart river pioneers corporation.
 Last summer Captain McI.ain, with two other men, went to the headwaters of White river, a distance of $50 miles from Fort Selrick. He discovered several large caves in the rugged Alas kan mountains. These are located about five miles from the side of the river and contained in the bare face of the rock fine showing of blue peacock copper. Samples from these ledges went over $12O per ton rich copper and gold.
 This season the party will thoroughly prospect the district. which is yet un- inhabited, and will stake claims there. The party took supplies for a trip to last all summer.

 explanation. When this was given he was soon clasped in the embrace of brother he had not seen for forty years.
 When the war of the rebellion broke out the brother, A. H. Powell, was a clergyman of the Methodist Episcopal church at Springfield, Mo. The call for troops to fight the battles of the Union was quickly responded to by the then young minister, who surrend- cred his pastorate, and saying good bye to his relatives and friends, he shouldered musket and marched to the front
 His elder brother, W. A. Powell, now of this city, then of Ray county, Missouri, enlisted in the cause of the confederacy. The two brothers met on the battlefield of Wilson creek. One wore the blue and the other the gray. That was the last time the brothers looked into each other eyes until w. A. Powell opened his door the other night and discovered Rev. A. H. Powell standing at his threshold.
 MT. Powell is "A years old and has been a Methodist minister fifty years. He is still identified with the Missouri conference, but may conclude to accept his brothers invitation to spend the rest of his days with him in this city.

Wife Secures Divorce from Religious
 Fanatic

TACOMA.-Elder J. D. Christie of Ecclesia mission failed to appear in court to answer the divorce suit brought by his wife. Christie joined the faction of the First Baptist Church, which separated from that denomina- tion three years ago. under the leaders ship of N. F. Hartman, forming the new Ecclesia sect. One of it's doctrines was that true Christians were sancti- fled and could not touch unclean things. Elder Christie absorbed this idea to such an extent that he was unwilling to work at ordinary occupations and bis wife was compelled to support her self.
 They were married in Missouri 22 years ago and have a son aged 20 years, who has supported his mothers contention for separation. Judge Shell granted the divorce, stating that re- ligion good enough to preach ought to be good enough to practice.

ANOTHER KESWICK FIRE
Upwards of Twenty Large Frame Build.
 ings Destroyed

Keswick, Cal, April 21. For the sixth time in four years Keswick mas had a big fire. Fire broke out in Bar bary coast today and all North Main street is in ashes. Fifteen places of business have been destroyed and also half a dozen dwellings, entn'lths a total loss of about $3O,000.
 The buildings constituted long frame range. None of the owners Lave been able to secure insurance, so to- days loss is total, as little or no stock was saved.
 The fire broke out in the Mascot sa- loon, conducted by Cecil & Bray. There was no wind and the flames crept southward slowly, sweeping everything before them. To the south, in order, the fire licked up the Blue Wing sa- loon of Ookley & Munga, John Nor gan's saloon, John Perth's restaurant, Pete Bernal's saloon. Carpenter x Con zales' barber shop, Gus Bauer's saloon and Joe Borde's laundry. With much difficulty the fire was stopped there and prevented from eating its way into the most important business part of the town.
 To the northward from the starting point were destroyed the Monte Carlo theater building, a large two-story

frame, leased by Harry Monroe, John Millers' saloon, John Ramsey's restaur- ant, Herold & Neudert's restaurant and a half-dozen dwellings owned by Gus Bauer and John Bartos.
 The heaviest losers are Paul Fried manof San Francisco, six buildings, loss $5OO0; Gus Rauer, Monte Carlo theater building, and other houses loss $5000; Henry Frickinger, two business buildings, $2000; Charles Bartosh, three buildings, S3000; John Morgen, 5000; Oakly & Munga, $500; Harry Monroe, $500; John Miller, $500. The large store of the Mountain Copper company, with an immense stock, narrowly as- capped.
 Keswick has no water works and no fire company, and that today fire was not disastrous was because of the ab- sence of any wind.

PROGRAMS FOR PEACE
The Captive Insurgent Leader Actresses
 FIIpinos
Official View of the Manifesto Is That It Will Have a Decided Effect in lmprov. ing the Situation in the Philippines

Manila.-The following is Aguin- aldo's address to the Filipino people:
 'I believe 1 am not in error in pre- suming that the unhappy fate to which my adverse fortune has led me is not a surprise to those who have been familiar with the progress of the war. The lessons taught with full mean ing, and which have recently come to my knowledge, suggest with irreslst- ible foce that complete termination of hostilities and lasting peace are not only desirable, but absolutely es- sential to the welfare of the Philippine islands.
 "The Filipinos have never been dis mayed at their weakness, nor have they faltered in following the path pointed out by their fortitude and cour- age. The time has come, however, in which they find their advance along this path to be impeded by an irrresist- ible force, which, while it restraints them, yet enlightens their minds and opens to them another course, present. ing them the cause of peace.
 This cause has been joyfully em- braced by the majority of my fellow countrymen, who have already united around the glorious sovereign banner of the United States. In this banner they repose their trust and belief, that under it's protection the Filipino peo- ple will attain all those promised liber- ties which they are beginning. to en- joy. The country has declared unmis- takably in favor of peace. So be it. There has been enough blood, enough tears and enough desolation. This wish cannot be ignored by the men still in arms if they are animated by desire to serve our noble people, which has thus clearly manifested its will So do I respect this will, now that it is known to me.
 After mature deliberation l res olutely proclaim to the world that cannot refuse to heed the voice of a people longing for peace, nor the lamentations of the thousands of fam lilies yearning to see their dear ones enjoying the liberty and the promised generosity of the great American nation.
 By acknowledging and accepting the sovereignty of the United States throughout the Philippine archipelago, as do now, and without any reserva- tion whatsoever, I believe that l am serving thee, my beloved country. My happiness be thine"
 To signalize this important step in the pacification of the country, Major General Macarthur orders the release, on swearing allegiance to the United States, of 1000 insurgent prisoners.

VANCOUVER, Wash, April 21.- Charles Brown and E. L. Canby, presi- dent and cashier respectively of the First National Bank of Vancouver, which was closed yesterday by the con- troller of the currency, committed sui eide last night, two miles from this city, by shooting themselves with a revolvers.
 Their bodies were found this morn ing lying in a small clump of bushes about half a mile north of the Colum- bia school which is situated on the outskirts of the town. They both used the same weapon, and Canby evidently died first, as the revolver was found in Browns hand. It is evident that Canby put the muzzle of the revolver in his mouth and then blew off the top of his head. Brown then took it and shot himself in exactly the same way, falling over Canby's body.
 The fact that Browns bicycle and an umbrella belonging to Canby were found short distance out of town last night led to the belief that the two bank officials had taken their lives Early this morning a searching party started out, and after several hours hunt the bodies were found in the clump of bushes.
 On Friday evening Canby, upon be- ing told by Bank Examiner J. w. Max we'll that the bank would not be per mitted to open Saturday, went out in the yard behind the bank and attempt ed to shoot himself. His revolver failed to explode, although all five chambers were loaded. After failing to shoot himself, Canby came back into the bank and he and President Brown left together, the latter taking his revolver When Examiner Max we'll confronted the bank officials with the shortage of $S1 ,OOO which he had discovered, both men admitted their guilt. It is said that both Brown and Canby had been speculating in stocks. Beside Browns body there was found a package containing $25 and note saying that the money belonged to his daughter.
 Upon Canby's body the following note was found:
 My Dear Wife: feel what I am about to do is for the best. Forgive me if you can and try to live for our dear children. God bless you all. Goodbye.
 [Signedl NED.
 April 19. 1901"
 Canby carried $13.00O insurance on his life and Brown carried policies az gregating $15,OOO.
