Munger, of the United States court, has
refused Letson Balliett, known as the
shining king" new trial, and sem
fenced him to pay fine of 81 900 and
to serve one year in the county jail.
Balliett was convicted last spring of u.s.
ing the United States mails for fraudu-
lent purposes. In 1900 he purchased

ments, and sold stock ON the monthly
payment plan.

at the time of the trial that over $780,
600 was received by Ballet from small
investors from all over the United
States. 1t was also shown that not
dollar was expended upon the mine, al
though representations were made to
the contrary in his advertisement mat.

cost the government fully $50, 900.

COLVILLE RESERVATION.
Mr.. Jones Will Introduce Bill to
Open South Half.

Seattle, Nov. 10. - Congressman
Wesley l.. Jones will introduce bill in
the next session of congress for the
opening of the south half of the Col
vile reservation. He believes this
measure can be passed at the short -es-
sion; if not, that it will have assumed
standing that will entitle it to early
consideration year later.
The south half is still closed, though
the north half of the reservation has
been opened to settlement. The rich
mineral deposits located in the south
half cannot be developed until relief is
obtained from congress, and agricultural
land which would be taken up immed-
lately is lost TO the people. This mat
ter, Congressman Jones believes, is UNI
derstood at Washington, and he expects
to receive hearty support for his bill
when it comes before congress.

Value of Advertising.

The business man who is con-
tented with his business has
stopped growing. The man who
says he has business enough,
therefore has no need to advertise,
has reached the full food of the
tide. But after the flood is the
ebb always. It is law of nature
that nothing shall remain in
state of rest. Everything grows,
or it decays. No business can re-
main at a standsti.l for any con-
siderable time.-Printers Ink.

TO REACH MActU FORTS.
Capt. Pershing Will Build Corduroy
Roads on Flank.

A dispatch from Manila yesterday says: A
second expedition against the Moro position
at Maciu, Island Of Mndanao, left Camp
Wears today. 1t is In command Of Capt.
John J. Pershing Of the 18th Infantry, and
is composed of battalion of infantry, a
troop of cavalry, three sections OF artillery,
and a detachment of engineers.
The engineers will construct a pontoon
bridge and a corduroy trail across the
swamp which TANKS the land side Of the
Maciu forts. This work will occupy several
days. Rats will probably be used to attack
the fort from the lake side. The actual
date of the assault upon the forts is in
definite
The Sultan Of Butig was made a prisoner
by the American column under Capt. Eli A.
Helmnick of the 10th Infantry, but was sub
sequently released. He furnished the Amer
leans with horses to transport their sup
plies.
The first expedition which left Camp
Wears to operate against the Maciu Moros
was composed of a battalion Of infantry,
started September II. The position at Maciu
was found to be strong. and the attack was
delayed in order to improve the methods of
approach and to receive reinforcements.
The fort at Maciu is on an elevation, close
to the lake shore, and being fanked by
swamps virtually makes 1t an island. The
Sultan of Macu regards their position as
impregnable, and has refused to treat with
Capt. Fershing. Capt. Pershing Is confident
of his ability to capture the Moro forts
without serious losses.

FRENCH PRESS VIEWS
ON AMERICAN ATTITUDE AT THE
ISTHMUS.
La Liberte Sees in It Menace
Journal Says It is ALI
Right.

| A dispatch from Paris yesterday SAYS:
| The French press has been following close
| ly the armed intervention" of the United
States in affairs on the isthmus and at
Panama, and the article published in La
Prensa of Buenos Ayres, Argentina, Sep
TENDER 20, in which attention was called
to the alleged tendency of the United States
toward Imperialism as illustrated by the
landing Of American marines on the 18TH
mus and against which action the paper
protests energetically, has evoked comment
in several newspapers.
La Liberte tonight says the countries Of
South America have several times clearly
affirmed their intention not to allow them
selves to be absorbed by the United States
The great nations of Europe ought to sup
port them vigorously in this work Of de-
Tense and self-preservation. 1t Is the es-
pecial duty of nations Of the same blood as
theirs. says La Liberte, such as France.
Italy and Spain, to stretch out helping
hand
LIE Journal des Debats on the other hand,
indorses the policy of the United States to-
ward the republics Of South America. This
paper first remarks that the American gov
eminent does not need to repeat the Mon
roe doctrine to Europe. The situation itself
suffices to recall to the latter that the
American continent cannot longer be a field
Of European political action. The paper
liicii say tiidt Inc plOttSt lie idIiu-
ing of American marines on the isthmus
made by General SalaZar commander of the
Colombian forces on the isthmus, is futile,
and therefore of only mediocre interest.
America" says the Journal des Debats,
sis scrupulously fulfilling the duty i'm
posed upon it by the treaty Of 1916, and it
will fulfill this duty more and more in the
future as the canal is completed. The good
old times of civil war at, Panama are
thing Of the past
The Journal then proceeds to warn the
Latin American that deep reforms are nee
essary if he wishes to remain free, and con-
cludes by saying: The economic scandal
of Colombia and the internal disorders
which cause it will certainly impose upon
Uncle Sam, injured and indignant. some
form Of control. 1t is evident that we are
at the beginning of a period Of North
American Intervention in South America
or of fundamental reforms in the latter
country. Those nations which are duly
forewarned, and disposing Of adequate
resources, do not make the effort necessary
to live, abdicate purely and simply the right
to exist
A dispatch from Colon, Colombia, yester-
day says: The situation on the isthmus re-
mains unchanged. Free transit between
Colon and Panama obtains, and American
marines and bluejackets are still travelling
on all trains.
