assent of his own government to them.
The spirit in which the two plenipo-
tentiaries in the negotiations have
proceeded is most promising. and
Great Britain has all along shown
disposition to treat the matter in a
liberal and amicable way. If two
thirds Of the Senate can be brought
to support the policy of the Admins
tration and the best interests of the
nation. a happy conclusion OF the whole
business may mark the retirement
Of Lord Pauncefote from the post
which he has adorned in Washington.

Beginning with today Porto Rico
has free trade with the United
States. This adds materially to
the countries tropical products.
With Porto Rico, Hawaii and the
Philippine islands we have all the
coffee. spices and rubber needed for
home consumption. Secretary
Wilson asserts that the United
States is the only country in the
world that could. if forced, exist
successfully without importing
anything outside its borders. This
fact alone renders the nation in.

An Official record of 1903 in the
shade will probably remove Lewis
ton from the class OF eligible sum-
mer resorts, but even the high
temperature has no terrors here
like an equal temperature would
have in the Mississippi valley.
The absence Of high humidity in
the atmosphere renders the high
temperature harmless to produce
heat prostrations.

Still Looking Backward.

Mr.. Bryan says that imperialism
is still the great issue between the
political parties. 1t is evident
tina. the leader Of 1896 and 1900 is
not keeping up with the procession.
He persists in clinging to issues
that have been lett behind, while
the majority Of his former fol-
lowers are taking up the problems
OF the present day. Even Mr..
Towne, one of his ablest sup.
porters Of last year, declares that
owing to the increased production
of gold the silver issue is dead
Good democrats like ex. Secretary
Herbert and many others declare,
furthermore, that the nation has
accepted the results Of the late war,
that the Philippines have become
a permanent possession of the
United States and that it is profit.
less to agitate the question Of ex-
pansion.
In the reorganization which a
good many prominent democrats
seem to be seeking and which Mr..
Bryan opposes, there is an evident
determination to get away from
certain issues in the advocacy Of
which the democratic party failed
to get popular support. Imperial.
ism, which from the first was a
bugaboo, is one of these issues and
it will be far less inspiring as a
slogan three years from now than
it was in the last campaign. The
more firmly Mr.. Bryan holds on
to the questions that the major
portion Of his party has thrust
aside the less conspicuous he will
be as leader. and the greater
chance he will have OF being
ignored as party councillor. If
he persists in disfegarding the
signs of the times and will not
drop dead issues it is certain that
he will disappear in the dust raised
by his former followers who are
ahead of him.-Spokesman Re-

which this section is interested are

Columbia river to Cascade. 10000 90
Columbia river near Vancouver IL 900 90
Snake river from Riparia,

The recommendation that ST.
$4,000 be expended upon the
lower river in deepening the chan
mel from Portland to the mouth
and tor improving the entrance to
the harbor by extending the jetty
seems adequate, and should meet
the approval Of congress. It is all
important that the lower river be
improved, for the commerce Of the
entire state depends upon the
facilities for getting ships to and
from the mouth of the river to the
furtherest inland port, and
especially is it necessary that the
channel at the entrance of the
harbor be improved SO as to admit
Of the largest vessel entering with
safety.
The recommendation of the ex-
penditure Of only $2r4,57e. 26 upon
the improvement OF the river be-
tween The D .lles and Cello, how
ever, seems small, though in max
ing this recommendation no doubt
Capt. Langfitt had in view only
preliminary work, and did not
contemplate permanent construc.

Down Columbia to the Sea.

Down Columbia to the Sea.
The valley of the Snake and
Columbia is the natural trade route
for the traffic that will attend the
development or the great Clear
water country. Time will dem.
onstrate that this route is one of
the great traffic routes for trans
continental trade.
The opening of the river to the
sea will revolutionize the trade Of
the interior as the completion of
the Erie revolutionized the trade
on the Atlantic sea board. Before
its opening Philadelphia was the
commercial metropolis Of the
country, and nearly all the foreign
commerce, except that landing at
Boston, passed over its docks.
With the completion Of the canal
there was an open door between
the east and the west and every
boat discharging at New York was
certain Of return cargo Freight
rates dropped Immediately.
Before the opening Of the c,nal,
wheat which was a dollar and a
half bushel, was worth just one
third that sum at Buffalo; the diff.
ference in price represented the
cost Of transportation. With the
completion Of the canal the cost Of
transportation was reduced one
half and today when six railroad
tracks parallel the canal and the
route across the lakes is open the
cost Of transporting grain from
Chicago to New York is about six
cents per bushel.
Il was the completion Of the
Erie canal and the opening Of
great trade route that has made
New York the Empire state Of the |
Union. From Buffalo to tide
water the millions Of tons Of freight |
are lifted In the sggregale only 500
feet; from Chicago along the shores
Of the two lakes the lift is not far |
from 100 feet. In the case of the |
trans Appalachian roads the ag-
gregate Of upgrade varies from
three thousand to FIVE thousand
feet. This is the entire lift against
gravity and it must be reckoned
with BY means Of hundreds Of
extra locomotives and train crews
and competing lines must always
figure against the advantages Of
easy grades via the Hudson estuary
and the Mohaw gap, and the old
canal route will continue to dol
Z
business to the glorious up build
ing Of New York State and the
metropolis on Staten island.
The valley Of the Clearwater,
Snake and Columbia Is the line Of
least resistance and consequently
the great traffic highway Of the
northwest. The minimum cost
Of transportation will he on the
route along the river grades. An
open river to the sea will force the
railroads to parallel the river routes
. in the east they paralleled the
Erie canal. In the economic his
tory of the northwest the great
traffic route of the Columbia basin
cannot be overlooked. 1t is in.
evitable that in the development
Of the Pacific trade the great trade
route to the seaboard will be made
along the line of least resistance
down the Columbia to the sea.

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Corn Dull md Lower, With Whenf
in sympathy.

CHICAGO. Sept 25-Wheat again ruled
lower in sympathy with corn. Liverpool
advices of freer offerings OF RUSSIAN
wheat and reports of copious rains in the
Argentine were also factors. The trade
was light and featureless. LiVerpool
closed I'D lower and Paris unchanged
Primary receipts were again in excess OF
last year: clearances S64000 bushels. Cash
sales here were 10000 bushels. Only five
loads were reported from the seaboard
Corn was very dull and averaged lower
than yesterday. The feature of the trad
ing was the selling of December on the
swells and buying of it on breaks by the
bull interest. This action was probably
for the purpose of injecting some activity
into the market, but it had little effect.
The average local trader is keeping short
of December. owing to its congested con-
dition. The new trade is going into May.
The wet weather in the West Is faYprable
to the bulls. There was good cash de-
mand, but ii did not create muohH en-
thusiasm. Private advices received to
day estimate the yield in Iowa. Missouri
and Nebraska at 100,010.0O0 bushels great
er than the last Government hgures Re-

Oats were dull within a narrow range.
They were influenced by the action of
corn, with the traders doing the bulk OF
the business. Cash demand for dar lots
continues good Country accepthnces are
reported a little larger. Receipts were W
cars, with 1i5 estimated for tomorrow.
Provisions were fairly steady early un-
der support from packers, notwfthstand-
ing the further decline in the hog mar
ket. Moderate selling by miscellaneous
holders and lack of support resulted in
severe decline late in the day, and
closed weak at about inside prices, The
market showed a lack of short interest.

this fight and several unions have i'm
posed fine of s. on, amy member who

This movement will have the effect of

paid under the new benefit rule was that
of Miss Addie Mobley. member of the
local union, whose relatives on Tuesday
received a check for 800 from the Interna-
tonal Union. The raising of the death
benefit was due to the efforts of the dele
gates of the local union, which has

THE MARKET STILL WEAK
Buying Orders From Abroad Have
Little Effect on Prices.
Ball Manipulation and Pool Opera
tions Practically Suspeuded-Li-
quidation Continues Despite the
Late Encouraging Developments.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25-The weakness in
today's stock market was not directly at
tribltable to the days developments. but
appeared to be chiefly in continuation of
the decline which set in upon the general
PRONUNCIATION of the difficulties in the cop
per trade. Neither Amalgamated Copper
nor Anaconda occupied the ting
position in the market which they have
of late, but 1t was evident that the col
lapse in those stocks had excited no little
uneasiness on the part of the public.' As
was the case yesterday. genuine liquida-
tion was reported throughout the market.
No concerted efforts to sustain prices
could be detected in any direction, and
the large and increasing professional
becrish contingent sold stocks with free
dom.
At the opening n rather steady tone
prevailed, the tendency noted then being
largely owing to the tone of the London
market, which showed advances in Ameri-
can stocks ranging from Il to ] per cent.
On balance. foreign houses were buyers
In this market to the extent of about
$4,000 shares. Upon the conclusion of the
foreign buying. however, the market re-
flected more distinctly the local liquidation
In progress.
The days returns of railway traffic
made good showings, and the money mar
ket continued easy. Sterling exchange was
nrm at about yesterday s quotations
The stock market showed very plainly
the suspension of bull manipulation and
pool operations in various stocks. but as
already noted, there were no developments
of general Importance which could be
cited in connection with the decidedly re-
dictionary tendency appearing in the gen.
eral list.
The retrograde movement appeared, IN
short to be largely natural reaction
from the more or less artificial advance
OF last week. which was in turn based
upon the various expedients undertaken
TO relieve the monetary situation insti-
tuted on account of the uneasiness con-
sequent upon the assassination of Presi-
dent Mckinley.
