PEACE IN THE PHILIPPINES

1t is evident that peace is near
st hand in the Philippines and
when it comes it will be perms-
pent. 1t seems probable that the
capture Of Aginsldo was really the
death blow 10 the insurrection, for
while be was not in the field be
appears to have performed the far
more important service Of money
gstherer. In modern times moth
ing bearing the SEN blance Of war
can be kept up without money,
and sinc. the capture Of Aguinaldo,
il is noticeable that We hear no
more Of the tribute paid by the
Filipino villagers, which was the
source OF supply Of the insurgent
treasury. When the money gave
out no more guns or munitions
could be had and there Was 10 in
ducement 10 block ade runners to
run risks Of capture FOR the sake
Of reaching an empty treasury.
With the cutting Of Of supplies.
collapse Of the rebellion was Inev-
Itable and il ha- come. The sur
render Of General Callles with $50
men and 500 rihes probably dis
poses q much the largest force
stlll remaining under arms. Ii
appears TO have been necessary to
wait for some days TO call in even
that number from the woods. The

INLAND EMPIRES NEED OF
OPEN RIVER"

Saturdays Telegram contains
a very able article from the pen Of
f. H. Libby, President of the Lew
iston, Idaho, Commercial Club.
Mr.. Libby presents some very for
chile argument s. the following
excerpts will show:
The Inland Empire is a re-
gion comprising the Columbia Riv-
er Basin east ofthe Cascade Noun
tains, including Eastern Oregon.
Eastern Washington aud most Of
Idaho, containing 100000 p7pula-
ton, claiming = billion dollars #
industrial valuation, capable Of
producing sixth Of the American
bread crop.
1T is seriously handicapped by
inadequate transportation facili-
ties.
1T demands an open river to
the ocean to develop its resources.
why does the Inland Empire
Of Eastern Oregon and Washington
and much of Idaho demand the
construction OF the proposed Dalle=
Cello canal at q cost Of 100000
Let Us briefly review the indus
trial conditions.
The plateaus adjacent to the
Columbia and is chief ahluent,
the Snake River, IL the year 1890
produced approximately 100000
bushels Of grain, chiefly wheat.
Not over half ofthe available grain
lands were then il fall cultivation,
they possess the most pro-
ductive soil for wheat in all the
world, often producing 20 to so
bushels per acre without special
care. In the so-calied Lewiston Or
Clearwater country alone there are
some 100000 acres Of choice
grain lands; yet last year only
about 100000 acres Of this land
was fenced, aud oue-balf Of this
was cultivated in grain, etc, lesv-
ng 100000 acres Of unfenced
waste. Yet the $4,000 acres
yielded j,4j09O0 bushels Of wheat.
I120.000 Of oats and barley and
$4,000 Of fax. ? total Of Is G.sj4,000
,u-hels Of these grains, besides
,ther crops ofroot-, etc.
