A LITTLE MATTER OF HISTORY

Controversy Abort the Old Military
Bridge Across Whatcom Creek
There has been considerable contro-
versy in the Bellingham bay papers of
late as to whether the old moss-grown
log bridge across Whatcom creek, just
above the Prospect street bridge back
of the Whatcom falls mill, was built
by Capt. Pickett, whose name is closely
linked with the early pioneer history
of this county. In a recent cOmmuni.
cation to the Herald IA well-known
pioneer, George a. Kellogg, says:
eff my memory serves me the bridge
all are so anxious to preserve for its age,
is not the one built by that rebel who at
forwards became a general in the Confed
crate army. The old bridge was rebuilt
by one Samuel Caldwell, for the county,
i'm the year 1874, and think this state
ment will he confirmed by Il. G. Coupe,
w. II. Fonts, }. II. Jenkins and others.
The present bridge stands on the site of
the old one, which was on the national
military road from Fort Steilacoom to
Fort Bellingham. While it is desirable
to preserve the early history of the coun-
ty, it is equally desirable that the facts be
correctly stated"
In pursuance of Judge Kellogg's idea
"that the facts be correctly stated" the
ISLANDER Will proceed to state them
on the authority of Capt. +. ID. War
bass, the well-known pioneer, who was
post sutler at Fort Bellingham, under
Capt. Pickett, when the original bridge
was built. Captain George +. Pick
EFT had nothing to do personally
with the construction of the old bridge.
1t was built by contract under the SUI
pervision of Lieut.. Mendell, of the en-
gineer corps, who is now colonel engi-
neers and is stationed at San Francisco.
The contract was awarded to Warbass
& Fitzhugh, the latter being at that
time superintendent of the Sehome
coal mine. Capt. Warhass says that
after the bridge was completed Lieut..
Mendell for some time refused to ac-
cept il because the stump of cedar
tree was used as foundation for one
of the stringers. Instead of post" as
designated i'm the specifications. AS to
its beirg "on the national military road
from Fort Steilacoom to Fort Belling-
ham," Capt. Warhass SAYS there never
was any such road. There was a mill
tary telegraph line between the posts
and a trail along that, but no "road, +"
travel between the posts being entirely
by water.

HOW TO GOVERN THE PHILIPPINES

In his testimony before the senate COM
mittee ON the Philippines Governor Taft
gave the theory OF the Philippine com
mission as to what form of government
congress should provide for the Filipinos.
The plan he proposed is:
First, to give the people qualified suf-
frage with gradual growth in popular
government, which should be enlarged
through education in the English Ian
gtIage and in American institutions.
Second, to institute within reasonably
short time local legislature, to consist Of
two bodies, one TO be chosen by vote and
the other TO be appointed.
Third, to permit the islands to send two
or three delegates to Washington,
Answering questions by the committee
Governor Taft stated that To grant in
dependence he thought would have the
effect of consigning the ninety per cent of
unrducated people in the islands to the
same servilo position they held under
Spanish rule; and that if the government
o. the islands should be turned over to
the islanders themselves there would be
nothing less than an absolute oligarchy,
rs they have no idea of civil governnelt {.
81 did not originally favor the acquisi-
ton of the Philippines" said Governor
Taft, land was very sorry at the time
that we got them, but now we are there |
see no other way than to go on and carry
out the plan | have suggested. | may be
Mark Tapley III this matter. but if did
not believe that we could bring these
feat we propose Is to an extent unpreced-
ented, and if did not believe we should
succeed in what we are undertaking, |
should resign immediately and come
home"

The president cannot be put i'm the
position, by Democratic politicians, OF
favoring or endorsing legislation in the
interests of the sugar trust, simply be-
cause he insists that something must be
done for Cuba He has left the manner
OF doing that something" with Congress.
Propositions have been made all the way
from free trade between Cuba and the
United States down to Il 90 per cent. re-
duction from the Diugley rates. Any OF
all of these propositions the sugar trust
will support. Why? Because the trust
absolutely controls the price of raw sugar
in the United States and it would pay for
Cuban sugar just what price it chose. In
Other words the 20 per cent. reduction in
the tariff would go into the pockets of the
trust.
