AMONG THE MAGAZINES
McCIure's for February.

McClure's Magazine for February is
one of the best all-around numbers it's
editors have got out The timeliness of
the articles, their range of subject and the
variety of short stories make it possible
to read the number from cover to cover
without mOnotony.
Two articles stand out for special no.
tice as among the most opportune and
readable magazine article for the month
-"Marconi's Achievement, by Ray
Stannard Baker, and Grover Cleve-
land" by William Allan White. In each
case both the title and the authors
name are sufficient guarantee of good
reading on timely subjects. Concerning
the Marconi paper, it is of interest to
learn that the author OF it was the first
special correspondent for any paper or
magazine to catch Marconi in Newfound-
land after his success in telegraphing
across the ocean without wires.

For the Inner Harbor.

Congressman Jones has filed an addi-
tional statement to the rivers and har-
bors committee, on behalf of the rivers
and harbors OF this state. Speaking CT
Grays Harbor and the Chehalis river,
Mr.. Jones says:
"'rhis is the inner harbor project. The
bar below Hoquam and the bar below
Aberdeen should be dredged out at once,
or value of improvement at the mouth
will be lost. With the dredging done,
there will exist splendid harbor. De-
spite these bars, commerce has grown
wonderfully, and this port ranks first in
its Output of lumber. Output for 1901 is
as follows: Lumber, 222 ,24l ,307 feet ;
- ,356, $40 lath; 1913 ,63S,960 shingles.
This is one OF the most necessary i'm
provements in the state, and you should
give them at the very least $50 900 to be-
gin this work and 500 900 for repair and
maintenance of the work already con-
structed. See report OF engineer for 1895
at page 1887 3, 1856, wherein he estimates
cost of improvement at $107 800 and
cost of repairs to dikes already con-
structed at $751; 800"

Review of Reviews.

The quality of "timeliness," for which
the Review OF Reviews has made rep
utation, was never before exemplitied in
the pages of magazine than in the Feb
ruary number of that wide awake
monthly. The subjects treated in the
Review are just the ones that the whole
country is talking about-the Cuban and
Philippine tariffs, the Panama VS.. the
Nicaragua canal route, the "Raines Law"
in New York and Sunday closing Of
saloons, the South American boundary
disputes, the Venezuelan situation,
the approaching visit OF Prince Henry of
Prussia, the Schley controversy. These
matters are all editorially discussed, but
the contributed articles deal with wide
range OF topics not less interesting to the
reader who cares to follow the days
news with intelligence.

COMMONERS.
Some Bright Sayings Of Editor Bryan in the
CommOner

The British taxpayer should prepare
himself for another staggerer.
Perhaps the canal commission is suf-
fering from an attack of that Justice
brownish feeling.
The lobby that is working to prevent
the entrance OF free sugar is usually very
free with the sugar"
American representation at the corona
ton of King Edward offers an inviting
subject to compo ers of comic opera.
The consolidation of the steamship
lines is an indication that the subsidy
promoters feel quite certain OF success.
After Prince Henry returns home it
would be embarrassing if President
Kruger should happen to come over for
a brief visit.
The administration organs continue to
take a fearful interest in the efforts of
certain gentleman to ''reorganize" the
democratic party.
newspapers tilat nave lOf so long Deen
holding up Mr.. Schwab as model and
example for American boys should now
advise the boys to invest in few chirs
and watch the turn of the wheel.
Possibly Congressman Hull could OBJ
tain an interest in Cecil Rhodes South
African meat contract in exchange for Il
block of stock in Mr.. Hubs Philippine
Lumber and Development Company.
When the honor of the nation was
"saved" in 1896 the republican party
promised that it would enact a financial
law that would be safeguard against
patching up the law.

"Motrers' Meetings" for Magazine.

In the current number of The Ladies'
Home Journal is begun a new and
rather novel department which is called
"Mothers' Meetings" and which is to
treat solely the subject of the proper ed
editorials on this subject which have APP
peared from time to time in The Journal
and in it will be printed the actual expert
ences of parents who have learned from
experience the criminality of the modern
"cramming'' system at schools, and the
evils arising from late hours, or social
evenings for children at home. The de-
sire is that this department shall be con-
tributed by readers OF the magazine.

The Cosmopolitan.

Sir Charles w. Dixie, contributes to
The COSMOPOLITAN for February an arti-
Gle on "The Naval Strength OF Nations"
which gives not only most interesting
and comprehensive account of the navies
of the great powers but also clear in
sight into world politics. Few men pos
sess such knowledge as the authors,
gained from years experience in diplo-
matte and political career. The article
is so broad in scope and straightforward
in treatment that it will be read with in
terest not alone by statesmen but by
every one whose thoughts travel beyond
the immediate wants OF single day.

THE ELKS' BALL.
THE SECOND ANNUAL SOCIAL
SESSION OF THE B. P. o. e.
The Most Elegant Social Event in the History
of Grays Harbor. Pleasant Gathering OF
Gallant Gentlemen and Handsome Ladies.
The Elks hOspitable Entertainers.

The second annual Ladies Social Ses-
sion of Grays IIarbor Lodge No. 1913,
Benevolent Protective O. der of Elks, in
Firemen's hall, Friday night, eclipsed
all pr, vious social functions in the his
tory of Grays Ilarbor About 800 tlks
and their invited guests were present,
and strangers were heard remark that
:hev would back Grays I1arbo" against
the world for containing the greatest
number of dress suits per capita, and
that for handsome, prettily gowned
women the Harbor deserved honorable
mention.
The decorations OF the hail were simply
elegant, and reflected great credit upon
the committee and able assistants. In
the center OF the hall was the music
stand, elevated several feet from the
floor, and canopied nearly to the ceiling,
draped with the royal pur lie and white
colors of the order. The walls were
artistically draped with evergreens and
bunting, the lodge colors predominating,
and were ornamented with several
handsomely mounted Elk heads.
The floor was smoothly waxed and the
music, by Ole Bulls orchestra, from
Tacoma was all that could lie desired by
the most iastidious devotee of terpsi-
.chore, and that it was fully appreciated
was well attested by the floor filled with
merry dancers from the close of the
grand march until four o'clock IL the
morning.
While the Elks were entertaining their
guests on the dance floor, their hospi-
tally did not permit the inner man (and
inner woman) 10 90 unreireshed. Cham
payne punch flowed as free as Aberdeen
water, before the water committee, Of
the city council became economical. In
the large dining room of the hall, which
was also beautifully decorated, tables
were set all evening, and refreshments,
consisting OF shrimp salad, waters, sailed
peafuts, olives, pickles, sandwiches,
coffee and ice cream, were constantly
served until the close OF the dance.
There were Elks and their guests pres
ent from Hoquiam, Montesano, Cos
mopolis, seattle, Tacoma, Olympia and
Portland, and those from abroad freely
expressed themselves surprised at meet
ing such entertainment in a town the
size OF Aberdeen.
1T eleven o'clock, tie hour when all
members OF the Order of EIks pause to
bestow a thought upon their absent
brothers, the lodge was called to Order
and formed semi-eircle in the east end
of the hall, where they drank to the
toast, "To Our Absent Brothers." feel
ingly and eloquently given by Bro. Percy
/ NJ. Litter Taken as whole, the sec
ond annual Social Session of Grays
Harbor Lodge No. 1913, b. p. o. E., will
long be remembered with pleasure by
all who were present.

Tobacco growers in anv foreign land
can sell their raw leaf in our markets
by paying duty of 80 cents to $l.S5 per
pound, according to quality. But the
Philippine grower, living upon what the
Supreme Court has solennly declared to
be American soil, must pay from 3S.4
cents to $1.92 per pound Foreign cigars
can enter our markets at duty OF $3.50
per pound and % per cent al valorem.
But Philippine cigars must pay S4.71 per
pound and % per cent al valorem.
Brazil, Egypt or any other foreign land
which does not pay sugar bounties can
send its sugar here by paying duty OF
$40 ton on raw and $50 on refined. But
ton, and refined $39. Is ton. Forty-fve
cents a ton may not seem much, but it
is discrimination against an American
product in favor of a foreign product.
Nor do the beauties of the Payne tariff
seem to end here. While we compel the
islands to pay these taxes in order to sell
their products to us, our raw sugar, when
sent to them, pays but Sab a ton, and
our refined but 1921 ton. Our leaf to-
bacco. to enter their markets, pays only
- Z cents Il pound, and our cigars only
900 cents pound. In other words, we
put low taxes on our products entering
the Philippines, and high taxes on their
chief products coming here. We compel
the Filipnos, in order to trade with us,
both to take and pay prices fixed by us.
Against this precise policy on the part
of the British government our fore.fath-
ers took up arms. We have not hitherto
given the Filipinos any reasonable excuse
for rebellion. The Payne tariff, ii it be-
comes law, will provide that excuse.
1t ought to be called San act to increase
poverty and incite rebellion in the Phil
ippines."
If we want Il Tonquin on our hands,
this is the way to get it. Ii we wish to have
Spain's experience with Cnba, this is the
way to get it,
The Payne tariff is a scandal on the
face OF it. We still await evidence that
it is anything else in essence and intent.
