A very curious medical invention
has been patented in Paris. 1t is
likely to be of great. use. 1t is a
small apparatus which placed un-

from fever, rings a small bell direct

Boston, Dec. 22.-Nine thousand
Beers are on their way to America
to take up land and settle in Texas,
New Mexico and Colorado. They
will take up 100000 acres among
the thousand or more families that
that are coming. If these nine
Thousand advance guard get along
well in their new western homes
others will come and South Afaica
will before long be depopulated of
all her hardy Dutch colonists.
For several days reports have
been current on the street that the
Canadian Pacific railway will ex-
tend its line to Spokane during
the coming year. From sources
which admit of no question, The
Spokesman. Review learned last
night that Senator George Turner
and D. c. Cofbin haye made ar
rangenients for the construction of
a road from hare to the Canadian
boundary line in northern Idaho,
where it will join the Crows Nest
Pass system OF tho Canadian Pacific
railway. Interests friendly to the
Canadian Padific will furnish all
funds with which to build the 200
miles of road. 1t is said by pro-
moters that the chef aim in tina
construction of the new line is to
furnish terminal rates for Spokane.

The local land office has received
an interesting ruling from Assist
ant Commissioner w. A. Richards
in which he rejects the application
of Myra L. Everest for homestead
entry. A statement Of the matter
shows that the applicant on July
IL, 1899, made homestead entry on
certain tract of land and that
this tract was relinquished on
April 3, 1899. Later application
was made to make homestead entry
on another tract of land. This
application is this one that is now
rejected on the ground that the
applicant made no attempt to de-
termine whether the first land en- :
tered was productive. No similar
ruling has ever been received
at the local office, and it will I'M
doubtedlv exert a material influence
on the nature of ACCOMPLISHMENTS
made in the future. The view has
commonly been held that when a
person relinquishes an entry such
step would have no bearing as to
rights of future entry. This view
Is now shown to be an erroneous
one.-Tribune.

Boise, Idaho. Dec. 18.-The
supreme court, in an opinion
handed down today, reversed the
judgment of the district court for
Latah county in the case of Frank
]. Tucker, minor, by his guardian,
Elias Tucker, against Melvin
Lowell, appellant. In this case
the court lays down the law on
the interesting question of the
length to which father can go in
controlling the proceeds of labor of
a minor child, Young Tucker
worked for Lowell, who refused to
pay him, claiming the elder
Tucker was in his debt and that he
had promised the services of the
son and team in payment. In
reversing the judgment, the
supreme court lays down the rule
that boy could not have been en-
titled to pay for his services under
the circumstances unless motto to
that effect was published to the
world by the father.
Nezperce, Idaho, Dec. 49,
There is considerable excitement
here and number of persons left
this afternoon for the scene of
new gold-copperstrike, seven
miles northeast of Nezperce and
about three miles from Pardee,
on the Clearwater Short Line,
and it is reported tonight that at
least 30 claims have been staked
out since noon today, The dis
covery was made by Lew Ellis
and George Murray, who are old
prospectors. The discovery is on
the west bank of the Clearwater,
and about 500 feet above the river.
Above two years ago Ellis picked
up piece of rock float on the river
bank, and spent several days in
looking for the ledge, but With
out success. About two weeks ago
Ellis in company with Murray be-
gan to sink on the hillside and
yesterday afternoon at a depth of
70 feet the men penetrated what
is apparently the hanging wall and
cut through three and half feet
of rich copper glance, said to
show great value in cold and 46
per cent copper across the whole
ledge. J. 7. o. bison is interested
with them and the men have
located FIVE claims on the ledge.
Samples of the ore have been sent
to the government assay office at
Boise. Crude assays here show
that the value of the gold and
copper in a number of samples
brought from the new strike to be
about $1,000 ton.-Review.

The fate Of II. b, NJ. S. Condor is like
~ to remain one Of the may mysteries
Of the sea, The last seen of her was
when she parted company from the
Warspite in fearful storm off Cape
Flattery. The Warspite was herself
imminent danger but managed to pull
through The Condor left Esquimault
December 2, she is therefore ffty-one
days out today There seems no other
alternative to imagine than that she
has gone down, probably within a short
time after she was last seen by the
Warspite. Had she put into an Ameri-
can or Canadian port disabled, she
would have been telepraphed to San
Francisco. She was a new vessel and
this was her first commission.

AAI.A PARK.


AS soon as tn. bin for the establish
ment of River Park at Aala was sign
ed. viz: May IA. lSgN. neither the then
Minister of Interior nor his Superin-
tendent of Public Works had any right
TO take an ounce of earth from the
Park land for filling or road making.
The law was clear it said. THE Minis
ter of the Interior and his successors
in office are hereby authorized and de
rected to convert all the property
named in Section of this act in said
Honolulu into a free public recreation
ground and to maintain the same as
such for the use and benefit of the
public"
The law did not say that the tract
of land at AaIa should be turned into
a quarry to make Mr.. Rowelrs roads.
1t said that it should be turned into
a recreation ground. All this is as
old as possible. The matter was thresh-
ed out vigorously i'm The Star and in
other papers at the time Both Minis

THE EXCLUSION ACT.

The exclusion bill which passed the
House almost unanimously is likely to
find trouble in the Senate. The ques-
ton of the status of the Chinese in the
Philippines is one which will be seri-
Ously discussed when the bill comes
out of committee, and not only will the
Chinese side be discussed, but there will
be opportunity of opening up the whole
Philippine question. Around the ex-
clusion act in Senate there are certain
ly difficulties thickening which may de-
lay its passage before the time the ORR
ginal German act expires.
Affairs in China moreover may have
some influence. The Chinese treaty ex-
pires in 1904, but it can run for ten
years longer unless either side gives a
years notice. China has not yet given
a years notice, it is true, but it is quite
competent for her to do so up to De-
cember 7, 1903, and at any time there
after during the ensuing ten years of
life. 1t is being clearly shown that the
tendency of the ruling force in China
is by no means friendly to the Western
perial family from Picking. The Chinese
Minister in Washington is a shrewd
politician, and it is well known has been
working hard against the exclusion
act. He has the diplomatic threads in
his hand, and he can make one puppet
jump on the Atlantic seaboard, and
another at Picking, whenever he chooses
TO pun the silken string.
Again the United States is in a very
different position towards China now,
than she was when the German exclu-
sion act was passed. Chinese trade
with our great manufacturers is on an
entirely different basis. We are the
coming commercial power in the Far
East. We are daily wrestling from one
and another of the great commercial
powers benefits of which they have held
the monopoly for years. We are in a
position where we cannot stand a check
and a check is one of the cards that
The Chinese government is likely to
play
A rift In the late was shown in the
little squabble over a provision pro-
posed ON behalf of the sailors union in
which American vessels are prohibited
from having Chinese in the crew unless
such Chinese are entitled to enter the
United States. To this there was
strong protest on the ground that there
should be no provision which would re-
strict commerce. The commercial side
may then be looked for to tangle the
exclusion bill considerably.

Carelessness in blasting Is one of the

a person who makes a contract with
