VERY SLIM OUTLOOK

Idaho; that replies had not yet
been received from some of those
towns, and it was not deemed advis
able to express preference at this
time as between the different north
ern routes to Thunder mountain.
The matter was discussed infor-
mally, and admiration was expressed
for the enterprise shown by the peo-
pie of Weiser and Council.
Following this discouraging report

portland does not respond with
very much alacrity to the appeal for
money for the wagon road from War
rem to Thunder Mountain. The ap-
peal was made some time ago by
citizens of Weiser. They agreed If
Portland merchants would contribute
to the fund for building wagon
road from Warren, to give this city
preference in all matters of business
for period of two years. The Port
land Chamber of Commerce prom
ised to use it's influence toward rails
ing money in this city, in order to
open up the new gold district to
Portland
Two committees have been solicit
ing subscriptions to the fund. They
are composed respectfully of Hugh
MCGUIRE and Ed Lang, and W. A.
Mears and George Lawrence, Jr So
far only about $675 has been raised.
The first com mittee has worked on
! Front street and has secured 1925
The second committee has obtained
subscriptions on Second and Third
streets to the amount of about $3.50.
According to the amount so fal
. pledged 1t does not seem that Port
land will give as much as $1,000.

give to the fund have done so al
ready, and it does not sppear tina

The city of Welser, through thei
two representatives who visited Port
land, said they looked to Portlant

SULTAN OF MOROCCO.
Worried Over. Alleged French-Span-
ish Secret Treaty.
scheme Is Now ON Foot to Divide His
Ancient Empire-Terms of Par
clifton Made Public by At
rican Explorer.

Recent events in Morocco have fully
confirmed the information forwarded
to the New York Times. that risings
are being prepared there which must
ultimately lead 20 the Intervention
of France and perhaps Spain. And in
this connection the rumors of Sc
cret treaty between France and Spain,
with view to combined action in Mo-
rocco, are becoming more and more
persistent. Jean Hess, the well-known
explorer and expert on colonial mat
tiers, who has just returned from Mo-
rocco, has communicated some par
ticulars to the Times correspondent
which represent the situation in sim
gularly startling light. To the exist
ence of this alleged Franco-Spanish
treaty NJ. Hess attributes the ex-
traordinary favor now being shown
to Spanish eXteriors in the Paris
financial market.
The terms of the division of Morocco
between France and Spain are, NJ. Hess
says, as follows: Spain to have the
portion of Morocco comprised between
the left bank of the Moulouia and the
southern coast of the Sabou basin; the
rest to belong to France. The Span
iards wanted the Triffa plain and the
greater portion of that splendid shore
line of the Kiss, where a Frenchman,
M. Say, is establishing port, and it
needed the Intervention of a very emf
nent colonial authority in the French
parliament to secure the frontier of
the Moulouia for France. This same
parsonage, who, with the rest of the
colonial party, was deeply displeased
with the Siamese treaty, had to be
modified by the assurance on M. Del
cases part that Morocco would soon
be joined to Algeria, and that Spain
would consent to this junction to Ora
MIA of the right bank of the Moulouia.
M. Hess predicts that the settle
ment Of the Newfoundland question

Auditory Organ in Leg.

One of the strangest and most unex-
pected of uses to which one could i'm
agine leg being put is that of an or
gan of hearing. Yet such seems to be
one at least of the functions of the
forelegs in the cricket. On the outer
side of tibia small oval space may
be seen, in which the strong armature
which covers the rest of the BODY is
reduced to thin,and memb ranous con-
dition, making thus sort of window.
or drumhead. Communicating with
this, inside the leg, are the ends of a
nerve, and it can hardly be doubted,
therefore, that the whole apparatus
constitutes an auditory organ.

LOOKS LIKE a CAGE.
Pulpit Used by Whitefield in His
Travels from Home.
Famous Relic Is Now Preserved i'm
New York CItx-bts Authe nificity
Established by IndisDu-
table Evidence.

Visitors at the rooms of the Ameri-
can Tract society in Nassau street,
New York, lately have been confront
ed by queer sort of wooden cage on
stilt-ike legs. Those who looked twice
saw tackled on it this sign: George
Whitefiel6s Pulpit"
This pulpit, says the New York Sun,
is one of the most highly priced rel
les of the American Tract society.
For years it has not been put on any
thing like public view, but it has been
kept none the less carefully on that
account.
The frame of the pulpit is about six
feet high, with the floor of the pulpit
about three feet from the ground. The
wood is said to be black walnut, but
age and successive coats of paint, stain
and varnish have done much to hide its
identity.
The most striking feature of the pull
pit is the number of hasps, hooks and
hinges which bind it's frame. Those
who have charge of the relic are quick
to call attention to this fact and to
offer the explanation that the pulpit
is of the folding variety. 1t was con-
structed in that way so that it could
easily be carried in a wagon or even
by a strong man.
The identity of the pulpit as White
fields is not questioned by those who
now have it, although they have no
available data concerning it's move
ments after Whitefeld died in 1770.
Rev. DR.. Charles S. Robinson, the ia
nous hymn writer, who died only a
few years ago, said that it was swell
authenticated as Whitefield's travel
ing pulpit-that which he carried with
him and from which he was wont to adj
dress the thousands that focked to
hear his voice"
Whitefield's preaching in England as
an evangelist, particularly after his

with Great Britain and the abandon
ment of the traditional French policy
in Egypt will result from this great
deal for the possession of Morocco, as
to the success of which NJ. Delcasse
is said to feel assured.
Having just arrived from Morocco,
NJ. Hess declares, III further support
of the foregoing statements, that he
has positive and personal knowledge
that the Spaniards are instigating
among the tribes of the Riff constant
agitation against the sultan, and sup
ply them with arms. On the other
hand, the exploitation of agricultural
products is forbidden by the Melilla,
and in this way the Berber population
is prevented from settling down to
peaceable occupations. NJ Hess was
refused by his own government au-
thorization to purchase cereals on the
Kiss shore and embark them at Port
Say for Algeria and abroad.
In conclusion NJ. Hess expresses the
opinion that, commercially speaking,
the position of France with respect to
Morocco is all that can be desired, and
that the pacific conquest of the mar
kets of Morocco by France is perfectly
feasible. The true policy, he says,
Spanish agreement, and to work on the
development of economic relations
between Morocco and Algeria.

70 Guard AGAINST Fire.

THE so-called Morris bill, for cut
ting the pine on the coded Chippewa
reservations, requires every purchas-
er of timber to burn or remove a
sufficient amount of the tops and re-
fuse to prevent danger from fire to
the timber left standing 1t is
thought by many that the time has
come when timber owners generally
in this state should conform to a
similar rule, and each year, say be-
fore the 1st of March, burn or re-
move the tops and branches of their
trees which have been cut down, and
that in case of their failure to do so
the state, through the local fire ward
ems, should do it, the expense to be a
lien on the logs. If sucn a law were
enacted by our legislature it would
be well for the state to enable the
local fire wardens to burn as soon as
practicable the old slashings, which
are menace to the safety Oh settle
ments. Some lumbermen have al
ways made it a practice to burn their
slashings, and they say it is not very
expensive"

premature. 1t is customary in all such
cases to consult the foreign govern
ment before an appointment is made,
and this, unfortunately, was omitted
in regard to Mr.. Barrett. The Japan
csc minister did not, of course, formu-
late any charges, and according to
usage he was neither expected nor re-
quired to.
There are peculiar relations between
Japan and Siam. 1t is said that Mr..
Barrett, while minister TO Siam, trod
on the toes of the japanese govern
ment in some way, and later on, in a
lecture or interview in this country,
made some references to the empire
of Japan which left a sore spot over
there.
John Barrett, now serving as COM
missioner general to Asia and Aus
tralia for the st. Louis exposition, is
eminent as a writer and lecturer upon
eastern questions. Prior to his APP
pointment by President Cleveland in
1894 as United States minister to Siam
he had made a special study of the
possibilities of trade with the orient,
and it was in recognition of this work
that he was Endorsed by both parties in
Oregon, Washington and California
for high place in the Asiatic diplo-
matte service.
During his term of office he travelled
extensively in China, Japan, Korea, ST.
IBERIA, Java and the Philippines, study
ing commercial opportunities for the
United States and embodying the re-
suits of his Investigations in official
reports, which have always been re-
garded as of great value.
He is native of Vermont and grad
uate of Dartmouth college. He is sc
wears old.
