Hawaii is making trouble for the
administration and her legislature is
not thing of beauty. 1t is evident
that Hawaii is lily prepared to take
up the duties of statehood and per-
haps it might have been better had
the government established a protec.
torate over that island, with full con
troll of it's foreign relations and free
trade with the United States. A SINH
lar plan would have suited in the Phil
ippines and saved this country much

SPOlLS RAILWAY ~ ANS.
Terms Exacted by British coiumoid
Authorities.

Authorities.
Terms sought by the government Of
British Columbia in connection with
the construction Of the Kootenai coast
road are considered SO unreasonable
by the promoters Of the Victoria Van
couver & Eastern road, who were to
contract for the construction, that they
say they will have nothing to do
with the enterprise. The principal
terms of the agreement as drafted by
the government, are:
First, the company must contribute
to the government per cent of the
gross earnings of the road, said per-
centage to be first charge on the
railway; second, all contracts must
| be submitted to the lieutenant gov
ernor in council for his approval, and
all material used in the construction
of the road must be subject to SINH
lar approval third, no aliens may De
| employed in construction unless it
can be shown to the government in
council that the road cannot be built
| without recourse to them; fourth, a
daily ferry must be operated to some
point on Vancouver island from the
main land; fifth, the rates are to be
subject to the supervision of the gov
eminent in council
The Victoria. Vancouver & Eastern
promoters say that the imposition Of
the first mentioned clause would be to
which would be fatal to floating the
necessary loans. They also allege
that that condition would be repug-
nant to the dominion statute, which
provides that running expenses must
| be the first charge on the earnings
Bondholders would also object to any
other charge taking precedence to
theirs. Four per cent of the gross,
they say, would mean IL per cent of
the net earnings.
The provision relating to aliens is
also considered superfluous and ultra
wires of the province, as dominion laws
prohibit the employment of aliens. To
Victorians there is some disappoint-
ment in the fact that, although provis.
ion Is made for daily ferry, Victoria
is not mentioned as one of the ter.
minals of the proposed railway, and
under the specifications some other
island point might be accepted
1t is felt in some quarters that the
conditions would not be accented even
by the Canadian Pacific railway, and
that no tender will be made for it
and the building of the road will be
deferred.

The president did recognize Min

The appointment of John F.. Miller,

WHOM THEY DELIGHTED TO
HONOR,

Anybody will sign a petition even
to execute a king. This fact has
again been demonstrated and in Kal.
ispell. In a late address to the cleo
tors of Kalispell, the Law Enforce
ment Leaguers state at length the
purpose of their fight against retaining
those aldermen in power who militat-
ed aginst a majority of their creed in
the city council.
Publicly and in their printed address
to the voters they have stated that
a large majority of the citizens If
kalispell petitioned the present coun-
Gil to take steps to enforce the law
against gambling. They asseverate
that the petition addressed to the CITY
council, county commissioners and
county attorney in this same behest.
was signed by over four hundred male
residents of this city, thus disposing
OF the contention that the majority
OF the people Of Kalispell were in ia
vor of gambling. Mark the result:
OF total vote of 500, at the election
yesterday, less than 200 voted for
those candidates whom the Law En-
forcement League pledged as anti
gambling men. The citizens of Kali

pressed their confidence in the pres
ent administration, especially have
they expressed, in no uncertain man.

FROM A
BACHELORS VIEW.

In love affairs it's the one who goes
fishing that gets caught.
He who loves and runs away may live
to get engaged another day.
Most men seem 20 think the way to get
up in the WORLD is to show that some
body else is down.
Ser her third engagement a woman
goes into a new one with about as much
romance as she iaces her shoes.
When a girl gets a letter from the
right man regretting he can't come 10
dine at her house she makes all the other
girls green with envy by acting like the
letter was a proposal of marriage.
Young hopes grow into old disaproint-
ments.
The world was made for man, and man
for woman.
The only thing in the world that a
woman can scorn and yet love is man.
When we old chaps don't envy the young
ones it is because we don't realize how
the young ones laugh at us.
\, omen don't know much about the
possibilities of brick. stone, steel and
wood, but they can take two strings, a
piece of ribbon, and a bit Of rag and put
to shame the creative faculty of all man
kind.
Don't bother to spend your income; it
will spend itself.
Let ME write the checks of a country,
and I care not who writes It's songs.
During a certain ge most women think
that even their innocence must be puc-
tureSque.
Getting engaged appeals to all women.
because it gives them a chance TO let
out a secret.
If a man could understand women.
probably he couldn't understand any
thing else in the world; and ne wouldn't
have to.
There was woman once who never
said: II told you So Once!
Some people hate to be happy SO much
that when they laugh they always have
tears in their voice.
People who speculate in Wall Street
don't seem TO care q rap that they aren l
going, to have red cent next week.
The man whose conversation you en-
ioy is the one who says, :'Ah, yes ana
That's right" when you are doing the
talking.
When a. woman is one hour late keep
ing an engagement she takes a Soos. deal
OF pride in the thought that it wasn't
two hours.
From little jokes great achings grow.
Folly that knows it isn't Wisdom isn't
half as foolish as Wisdom that doesn't
know it's Folly.
Once there were two brothers, each OF
whom thought the other. was better ana
more deserving than helm a book!
