THE NEW LAND BILL

On another page OF this issue Of THE
HERALD will be found letter from Con-
gresham Jones and the proposed bill
Tor the sale OF public lands, known as
grazing lands. Without mincing words
it may here be said that THE HERALD is
opposed to such measure being passed
by congress, for the very reason that
this bill will not remedy the situation in
the least and will only open the way for
a greater abuse OF the grazing land ques-
ton.
This bill OF Mr. Jones is as fair on the
face OF it as any that could be prepared
at present. While it favors the small
land owners and stock raisers, at the
same time it opens the way for the large
stock owners and corporations to get
control OF the public lands The lands
would be cheap at 1925 per acre and
any person with moderate means could
buy 320 acres. By this method what is
to hinder wholesale purchase OF the
lands as has been done by the Weyer-
hauser Timber Company, which now
owns half the valuable timber lands OF
Western Washington
Let the old homestead law stand. 1t
IS good enough There is no crying
need for change. The country needs
homesteaders and home builders instead
ii large land owners and land leasers.

Among the nleasant thinrs

Among the pleasant things character
istic OF the Yakima climate in cold
weather is sunshine and the absence Of
wind This condition is found nowhere
else in the country not even in any
other part 81 the state While the peo-
pie back east are having Billiards and
below-zero weather, this valley has been
basking in sunshine and calm. There is
no wind to chill the marrow and make
big fires and fur coats necessary.

THE VERDICT

4 jury Of nine-tenths OF the Ameri-
can people, with Dewey as foreman,
gives Schley the honor OF winning the
Santiago naval battle. 4 jury of dozen
naval officers headed by two men who
were never in battle. found him guilty
Of ''vasillation. dilatorine~s and lack OF
enterprise" Such Is the verdict rem
dered 10y the Schley board Of inquiry
last week. Schey is still the same hero
he was before and nothing that the ma
val clique can do will lower his standing
in the histories OF the future. In his
report, George Dewey says:
''ln the opinion of the undersigned
the passage from Key West to Cienfuc-
COS was made by the flying squadron
with all possible dispatch Commodore
Schley having in view the Importance
Of arriving off Cienfegos with as much
coal as possible in the ships bunkers.
"The blockade of Cienfuegos was eff
fective. Commodore Schley, in permit
ting the steamer Adula to enter the port
Of Cienfuegos, expected to obtain infor-
nation regarding the Spanish squadron
from her when She came out.
"The passage from Cienfuegos to a
point about twenty-five miles south OF
Santiago was made with rs much dis
patch as possible while keeping the
squadron a unit.
THE blockade OF Santiago was effect
i've.
Commodore Schley was the senior
officer OF our squadron off Santiago
when the Spanish squadron attempted
to escape on the morning OF July 3, 1898.
He was in absolute command, and is en-
titled to the credit due such command
ing officer for the glorious victory which
resulted in the total destruction of the
spanish ships. GEORGE DEWEY,

DOGS GRATITUDE.
How a Lank Fellow Cur Protected a
 Woman.

Indianapolis Journal.
 "I did not formerly believe that dogs possess an instinct by which they can read character in human beings re- marked an Indianapolis woman. but now I am positive it is true. I had an expe- rience last night that was equivalent to a demonstration.
 "A few days ago a long, lank, yellow dog, about three rect high, of decidedly unprepossessing appearance, except for its benevolent face, came to our house, and, finding me standing in the kitchen door, began to wag his tail earnestly and to look into my face with gaze that contained an unmistakable appeal for something to eat. Of course, I could not resist the plea of a dumb brute that was hungry. What woman can? When the creature had eaten to it's hearts or rather
 it's stomach's content it walked out of the door just as a gentlemanly tramp might have done Later in the same day the dog came back for a drink Then I did not see 1t any more until last night when I had occasion to go up town at a rather late hour. I had hardly gone a few feet from my house before I heard the delicate batter of animal feet back of me. Looking around, I saw my four footed pensioner of a few days before, still wagging his tail, but this time look ing at me with only gratitude and kindly feeling in his face I was not particu- larly well pleased at being followed through the public streets by such sor- rN-looking creature, but when I told the dog to go back he gently refused to obey.
 When l had accomplished the purpose of my errand and turned to retrace my steps homeward the dog was there to accompany me. Just as we were turning off the Circle into one of the principal streets man stepped rudely into my pathway and grinned at me. Quick as a flash the dog sprang in front of me. and. curling his lips began to growl in most terrifying way. saying, in manner as intelligible as If he had employed human utterance' T guess you had better clear out of here at once
 ''The man lost little time in retreating to the dark corner from which he had come, and the rest of the way home. YOU may be very sure. I paid a great deal of attention to my humble protector. Yes. I am quite sure dogs know when man is not the right sort, or at least thev com prehend the meaning of a threatening gesture or attitude. The dog Is always certain of a square meal whenever he sees fit to present himself at the door of our home"

MARKET FOR FUTURES HEAVY PORT RECEIPTS AND DISAPPOINTING CABLES. General Buying on Liberal Scale Set in, Owing to Frost Reports.
 Close Points Lower
 to 1 Higher

NEW YORK Oct I6.-The cotton market opened steady with prices points lower to
 point higher under room liquidation, 1gnt foreign selling and scarcity of public buying orders, all due to disappointing Liverpool ca bles and heavier port receipts than expected
 But the decline soon made place for highcr prices as general buying on a liberal scale set in following reports that frost had appeared in the northern portions of the eastern and central belt again. While temperatures in the western half of the belt were once more falling rapidly. Rumors of higher Southern. spot mar kets on heavy export and decreased domestic demand, with claims that the late cold weath- did serious harm to late cotton helped to stiffen the market toward the close of the first hour. This wave of buying carried October to 8.i7, Januury to 8. 20 and May to sos. Liverpool hardened decidedly on the frost news and sent buying orders to our pit. Then came change in the course of the market-about midday Estimates for large New Orleans and Houston receipts, with active selling by Philadelphia export interests against holdings of spot cotton South undermined bull conf- dence and sent prices steadily downward The hedges put out reached 30. 900 bales or more, mostly March and May options, though some of the selling was in January. Late in the day Wall Street and the South sold out early pur- chases. At the close the market was steady with prices points lower to ] point higher or about unchanged from the opening.

R. M. Scale & Co.'S Cotton Letter.
rBy Special Leased wire.1


 NEW ORLEANS. Oct. I6.-Liverpool was compelled to abandon it's attitude Of indiffer- ence today on account of more cheerful indl. cations in regard to trade on the continent and instead of exhibiting the declining ten- dency that traders this side expected as a result of the depreciation of prices in the face of general frost reports. a very steady tone was recorded for deliveries at ap advance of about 2-64d, though spots had been marked of I-l6. Shorts here became nervous over the steadiness abroad and the development of an active spot inquiry persuaded liberal short covering which forced prices up steadily in the early trading. but liberal estimates of re- ceipts for tomorrow started selling by recent purchasers and caused loss of the days ad- vance. Closing quotations are about | point higher than yesterday.
 While the selling to realize profits has thus far impeded each advance to the cents mark. any decline from that figure seems to meet with staunch resistance. but 1t is quite req sonable to expect a fair demand at any con sessions until the intricate position of foreign markets is relieved to a great extent.
 Meanwhile the country has evinced dispo- sition to divest itself of the burden of early receipts in a moderate way which increases the independence of interior traders and the charge of holding back is not substantiated by the extent of shipments from counted towns. It accordingly looks as if the market will be in a position to make vigorous efforts to- ward recovery from any periodical pressure.

H. & B. Beers Cotton Letter.
Special to The Advertiser.]

Especial to The Adverttser.J
 NEW ORLEANS-Oct. I6.-Early Liverpool advces were disappointing, but the subsequent improvement caused our market to open l to 2 points higher. An advance of to points ad- ditional established later on the good demand for spots and fresh buying. This, how ever. only momentary. because the heavy estimates for both New Orleans and Houston rt ceirts tomorrow, well tie large seml- weekly interior movement, occasioned a break which wiped out all the gain, making the close unchanged from yesterdays quotations Receipts are on liberal scale, the exports to Great Britain are increasing and more dispo- sition is shown by holders to sell. Clear weather exists throughout the belt, and the official prediction is that fair weather will prevail tonight and Thursday The tempera- ture will fall over the northwestern portion and remain stationary the southeastern portion. The statistical situation which was considered by many to have been strong, is closing its strength except in Liverpool, but free exports there this week will do much to relieve the pressure Unless speculation comes into the article 1t looks as if 1t will require constant support to maintain values In the meanwhile receipts weather and spot demand will continue to regulate prices.
