says: The relation of America to Eu-
rope and the world is profoundly no5i-
fed by this new departure. Colonies
mesn a navy, a navy means naval busi-
ness and cosling stations and naval
basis ars insecure unless backed up by
possessions. This is logic. Imperialism

Fellow Countrynen: More than 8 genera.
ton has passed since the day of carnage
which made this spot historic, when foeman
met foreman worthy Of his steel in this
bloody contest. 1t was not confiot be-
tween hired soldiers but Of men equal in
courage and Of the same great race who we're
contending for principles they believed TO be
right. The heroism and the fortitude dis
played by the southern soldier in this con-
6ict has never been surpassed in the history
Of the world. He considered that he was
contending for the principle upon which our
government was founded and he went into
the conflict as a patriotic duty, and duty was
his Estchword from Manassas 10 Appa-
mattoz. On no other hypothesis cen you
explain the privation and the Suffering
which he 50 cheerfully and readily endured.
This spirit of patriotism prevailed not only
among the men Of the south, but the woman,
like the Spartan mothers Of old, sent their
sons and owed ones to the front with cheer
fulness born of 8 patriotism that will make
any people great. From the first gun at Fort
Sunter until arms were stacked at Appomat-
to1 they endured hardships and privstions
with 8 fortitude rarely equalled and never
e1celled.
And when the Confederate soldier stacked
his arms and furled forever the fsg which
he had followed through victory and defeat
and turned his face homewsrd, shattered
and worn, there were no vain regrets for the
part he had played in the great drans Of
war, but with cheerfulness unpsrrelled
aud spirit undaunted he began anew the
battle of life and the work Of rebuilding his
lost fortunes and today there is no one more
ready or more willing to respond to the de-
fensa OF OR common country than the Con-
federate soldier. This was demonstrated in
our last war with Spain when Joe Wheeler
saved the day at Santiago and young Bagley

HORSES FOR SOUTH AFRICA,
Buyer in Colfax Picked Up Half a
Dozen

Wilson Peak. ranchman and horse
man of Sheridan, Wyoming, accom-
panied by Bay Clark of Moscow, was in
the city Monday buying cayuses upon
which to mount the British infantry,
chasing Beers in South Africa. They
were only able to pick up about half
dozen S25 or $50 cayuses during the
day ami left with them IN the evening
for PalOuse, from where they expected
to ship car load or two over the
Northern Pacific to Sheridan, Wyoming,
where they are to be inspected and sent
to the front via New Orleans.
The buying was being done under d.
rection of Captain C.. F. Grissell of the
British army. In connection, Mr.. Peak
said
"Under direction of Captain Grissell,
myself and other buyers are securing all
the country west of the Missouri river
where cayuses range and buying them at
$50 to $40 head. We are in this coun-
try because Wyoming and nearby states
have been depleted of this class of
horses. The United States government
has bought many horses for army serv-
ice, but have insisted upon better class
of cavalry animals, paying 500 to S1lO,
and taking only geldings.
''The British have figured that the
light horse of Western America is best
for use on the South African veldt-that
they stand the hardships there better
even than horses of superior weight or
breed. The average life of horse land
ing from British transports on the
shores of South Africa is six weeks. In
like the United States horses landed in
the Philippines, we'll fed and we'll cared
for, the British horses seem to be liter
ally starved on the barren grounds in
Africa.
Myself and associates have orders to
buy 500 head. We are picking them up
from Lewiston to Yakima and ship ex-
cIusively over the Northern Pacific be-
cause of rates. There are other buyers
all over the west We take geldiDgs or
mares, $50 to 1850 pounds, 5 to years
old, any color except white. They must
be free from blemish, broke to saddle
and in good flesh. Occasionally point
is strained for a year on age or a hun
bred pounds in weight, but not often.

WEST BND il IN IT
Wheat Crop Reported One of
the Greatest Known.
Where Three Grains Grew Last
Year, Four or Five Are
Now Ripening.

Henry Williamson, one of the leading
threshing machine operators of the Pa
lOuee country, was a Saturday visitor
at Colfax. His usual custom has been
to thip or drive his outfit to Walla
Walla valley in early July, shell out the
grain there for few weeks and then
transport north OF Snake river. But
the conditions have changed in recent
years and Mr.. Williamson has changed
his tactics. Speaking of this he said to
The Gazette:
the wheat fields of the Palouse coun-
try have so rapidly worked to the west
in the past two or three years that the
Palouse owners of threshing machines
can no longer afford to cross to the
south side of Snake river. The trans
portation expenses are heavy and can
no longer be afforded. This is true for
the simple reason that the wheat fields
of Whitman county have quickly gone
so far west-to the very banks Of the
river dividing us-that there s no longer
more than a weeks difference in time.
1t no longer pays to cross the river and
then work north as the grain ripens.
There is plenty of room this side"
Finest Crops Known.
Mr.. Williamson continued: "For
many years have engineered threshing
outfits from the Walla Walla valley as
far north as wheat has yet been success
fully grown. This week [ have been
down in western Whitman county pros
pecting the fields and have determined
not to cross Snake silver.
The finest wheat | ever saw is on the
new wheat lands of western Whitman
county | have visited Willow creek
Little and Big Alkali, and have de-
termined to set my machinery going
there.
Last year was not bad one in these
regions, but few people have any con-
ception of the magnitude of the crop
this year. Not only is the acreage
greater, and that it has reached out to
the west into what have heretofore been
considered arid or semi-arid lands, but
it is better crop, and we'll advanced.
'Throughout all this region is the
finest wheat that ever delighted the eye
of grower or threshing machine opera
tor. Last year was a good crOp-in
fact, excellent. But 1901 knocks the
blossom from 1900. Where last year
the straw was up to the limit, there
were but from three to four grains to
the mesh in a wheat head. Now there
are four to FIVE Every farmer and
thresber owner knows what this means
The big, fat, well-filed heads will shell
wheat into the sack in way to delight
the farmer, the machine operator, the
bag manufactures, the warehOusemen,
railroads and transpOrters by sea, but

A CIGARETTE AND A BOY
Burned Sixty Acres of Wheat and
Half Mile Of Fence Posts.
NeighbOrs With Wet Sacks and

hood a Disaster,

Niles Champlin, who lives at the head

rpened enough to burn. Fire swept it.

SlO an $6OO-besldes half a mile
OF fence posts burned.
Kids and Cigarettes.
The fire, according to Mr.. Champlin's
idea, was started in the ripened wheat
by boys and cigarettes. He says he had
a tenant and several children on the
farm, and that the children played
"hooky' in the wheat field and lighted
matches and smoked.
The result is so acres of his wheat
field gone and something like half mile
OF posts of barbed wire fence. The
wheat would have easily yielded 40
bushels an acre.
NeighbOrs Saw Smoke,
The neighbOrs saw the smoke. They
cut loose horses from wagons aud every
