REMARKS BY SECRETARY HITCH
 COCK.

| COCK.
 | My Frlends:--It gives me great pleasure to greet you here tonight as fellow citizens of our great and glorious
 country, whose present. past and future
 our president has eloquen;ly described. and also as citizens of this magnificent
 territory. with which the department of the interior has very close and spec ! ial relations. That department shares
 with all the other departments of the government in the congratulations upon | the prosperity which now is broadcast
 over this territory. The department of the interior, however is specially inter-
 ested in the lands of the government
 which yet remain to be occupied. It is interested in the development of your mines, and also in your great farming resources, which will be referred to a
 moment by the secretary of agriculture. 1, and it only remains fer me to say that the department of the interior will con- tinue the deep interest 1t feels in these
 magnificent enterprises which you are developing SO splendidly by your abili- ty, your money and your patriotism. | (Appiauae.)
 You have almost everything that
 you could wish in this territory except
 the one thing which you most need, and that is water (applause); and you may be assured that the department of the
 interior just now. az it has been for
 some time past, and will continue to be
 most willingly as far as it may lie with
 In its power. to assist in meeting that
 deficiency (applause) by the building of reservoirs and the adoption of every
 other available plan that can be found
 through its geological department to
 furnish that supply. We are also at this moment moss carefully and indus
 triously looking into the question of de- veloping your mines; and I assure you in conclusion that 1t will not be the fault of the department if We do not add to and increase to the fullest pos sible extent that prosperity to which you are so much entitled. I have now
 the pleasure of introducing to you Sec
 retary Wilson, the secietary of agricul-
 ture. who has done more for the farm
 ing interests of the country than any
 other man who has held that office"

PARTY OF ExpED,Excy.

1t Is unfortunate for the cause
of reform that there are so many
faintheartcd. lukewarm and sail
trlmmers. Already there are men
who supported Bryan who are
ready for such change ms will call
for new men and different meas
urcs. II is the weak part IN the
structure of the democratic party
that its leaders are too ready to
change issues and bid for votes on
questions that force the party to
take the wrong side. Take for
illustration the liquor question.
In every state where that party
has fought for the saloon, II Is
hopclcssIy IN the minority.
Under the leadership of such
men Ms Bryan, the Democratic
party would be sure to win in the
e;d, and having won, it would
place our people upon the highest
level of liberty and happiness yet
attained to since the establishment
of our republic.
The Democratic party has been
reformed. but can it he kept in
that position when there are su
many IN ITS ranks who would bctray
great principles for the sake of
temporary advantage or oilicc.-

If we were To answer the en-

democratic party will no longer
follow such men us Bryan. AZ Il

never once regaincd the confidence
of the people since the war, and
we fear it never will.

adopted the Chicago platform to

A Public Necessity.

Our valley and city has again issued
general invitation to the world to attend
our annual Peach Day-a day which has
become famous from one ocean to the
other, and from Cape Nome to Key
West.
We have been chosen, as servants OF
the people. to lead in al effort to enter
tain the thousands who will accept our
invitation. To that end we have Sc
cured unusually low rate from the rail
ways and have been favored with almost
lavish notices from the prese OF the state
gratuitously
We have also called upon our business
men for funds, most Of whom have re-
sponded generously but the burden ls
too great to be borne alone by indivinu
ais: the spirit may be willing, but the
ability inadequate. We propose that
this shall be day worthy Of the valley
and the people who make it possible. To
do this we must have more funds
1t ia unjust to Exp ct that the business
men alone IRE to entertain the city and
county's guests; they are willing to help,
but they demand that they be assisted
by non resident property owners ana
others who otherwise would not pay. ex-
cept by taxes, that is from the public
fund.
The county and city treasures should
give at least as much as individuals; in
fact, they must, in order to maintain the
repu utation which we have 30 laboriously
earned as entertainers.
The committee is positive, from extern
sive correspondence, that we will be met
by the greatest number that ever visited
our city, and We are anxious that every
one who does us the honor OF visit
shall be obliged to say when they return
to their homes that they were royalty
treated.
In contemplation of these facts we
ear ruestly request all the friends OF this
city and valley to lose no time in assur-
ing the county and city officials that
there is an urgent public need of their
hearty assistance in furnishing the COM
mittee with a sufficient amount for their
necessity.

The Cost of Living.

The commercial reports show that
the average cost of living is higher
just now than it has been for many
years a decade ago the general level
of prices was but little below the
present figures, but after 1898 there
was marked decline, which reached
its lowest point in July, 1897. From
that minimum there has been a rise
of no less than forty per cent; that is,
where a family spent one dollar for
household expenses, in July, 1897, it
must now. on an average, spend a
dollar and forty cents.
High prices are sometimes due to
the coming of war, or to some SINH
lar emergency. At other times they
are caused by the increased demand
for necessities and luxuries which
arises when work is plentiful and
wages are good The low cost of liv-
ing IN the period from 1898 TO 1897
was the result of the panic of the for
mer year and OF the severe industrial
and commercial depression that fol-
lowed The higher prices Of today az
company a time of great national
prosperity.
1t is better to pay a little more for
food, clothes, and rent than to be out
of employment.

The congressional Library.

In the annual report of Mr. Put
nam, of the Library of Congress, a
strong plea IS made for the opening
of the Library on Sunday afternoon
The arguments which Mr. Putnam adj
vances in this connection are well
constructed. and based on good,
sound. common sense. He states that
the difficulty in the way IS only that
Of money: that it could easily be ar
ranged. at a cost of only $4,000 4
year, to have the Library open d part
OF every Sunday, and that this need
not involve any employees working
seven days in the week, or more than
four hours on Sunday at any time. 1t
would, in short, mean an addition of
about five per cent to the present an
nuaI expenditure, and he urges that
Congress take action on this as soon
as possible
The anomalous condition of things
which exists in regard to library IA
ciIities in this city can be seen with
out any very deep Investigation The
people of Washington, with one of
the finest collections OF books in the
country reposing in a building which
they can see from their front win
dows, have been for years unable to
avail themselves of it except when
they had time, during the working
hours Of the day, to go and read In
view of the fact that most of the peo-
pie of the city are busy during six
days of every week, it would seem
that to keep the Library open every
evening and all day Sunday would
not be too much consideration for
their interests,
In the nature of things, the cireu-
lating library arrangements which
exist in other towns could not be
adapted to the Congressional Library

The Enlisted Wen in the Narr.

President Roosevelt has espresso
himself III favor of increasing the pay
of the enlisted men IN the navy, and
IN none of his recommendations has
he more signany shown his practical
knowledge of affairs. or his under
standing of the real needs of a situa-
ton. For many years it has been no
ticeable that the recruits to our navy
were largely drawn from men of for
eign blood.
This is not by any means an alto
gether bad condition of things. The
ScandinavianS. Germans, Dutch, and
other foreigners who have found
their way into the navy are good men
and have proved their devotion TO the
flag as thoroughly as any American
could have done. But all the same,
the conditions in the navy ought to
he such as will attract young men OF
american birth
There Is no reason why such con-
ditioHs should not exist. There are
boys from the farming and fishing
villages all along the coast who are
following the sea in ways more OF
less precautions and iH-paid. who
would make the best kind of sailors
for battleships. if they could see their
way to a living income there. These
are the men who made our little navy
so effective a weapon in the War of
1872, and who, even earlier. set tie
world talking of the victories achiev-
ed by Paul Jones.
Even inland along the lakes and
the great rivers. there are plenty of
boys who would make efficient sailors,
and who have tankering for the sea,

mote seafaTiHg ancestry These men
viii all be needed with an increased
navy, and they cannot be had unless
it is made worth their while to ship
under the flag. With many of them it
is not question of personal gain, but
of possibilities of a nature which
they cannot shirk. No good-for-noth-
ings are likely to endure tie drill of
battIeship; and the men who can.
are worth what they cost.
