Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. 'Eat plenty Of
pork,'' was the advice to the
onsumptive 50 and 100
FEARS ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
IN stomach it. The idea
r7hind it is that fat is the
I'd the consumptive needs
most.

Il c0nsumptive. Pork is too
ough for sensitive stomachs.
'cott's Emulsion is the most
2ined Of fats, especially
repaired for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
gay, which is often the only

plant by the village
But the strongest Argument in
favor Of the purchase Of the plant by
the village lies in the fact that the
operating of the plant by the village
would enable them to pump all the
water for the municipal water works
at a very small additional cost over
the present operating expenses of the
electric light plant, thereby effecting
saving to the village of at least
S2,40O year, probably considerably
more than that.
The present system of pumping
water by gasoline is wasteful and ex-
pensive in the extreme and will con
tinue to grow more so. Moreover, if
it is to be continued, a new and large
expensive gasolene pumping engine
soon be purchased by the village,
In fact all considerations, of what
ever nature or weight, argue in favor
Of the municipal ownership of the
electric lighting and power planl. So
far, there has appeared no argument
against it.
We stand ready to demonstrate to
tie Common Council, to the public
or to any individuals the correctness

WORK OF TORNADO
PASSENGER STEAMER SWAMPED on
A VIRGINIA RIVER.
Eighteen Persons are Known to Have Lost
Their Lives-Accident Occurred In the
Evening When All Were Below and
rhey Had No Time to Seek Safety
Before Vessel Sank.

Norfolk, Va, Feb. ia tornado
struck the passenger steamer Olive,
which plies between franklin, Va, and
Edenton, N. c., at $3.50 last night and
sent her to the bottom OF the Chown
river, off Woodley's pier, between
Mount Pleasant and divers wharf.
Eighteen persons are known to have
been drowned, and others who were
rescued are in a serious condition.
The storm, when it struck the Olive,
caused her to go over on her beam
ends, and when she righted it was only
to sink on account of the water she had
taken. A majority Of the passengers
and crew were below at the time, and
had no opportunity to reach the pilot
house of the vessel. This point was
the only portion left above water, and
in it, standing waist deep from the

and five others we're rescued.
According to the statement of Cap
tain Withey there are IS known tc have
been lost on the sinking steamer, and
lifeboat loaded with part Of the crew
and passengers, which left the steamer
in hope Of reaching a vessel whose
lights could be seen in the distance,
were rescued after enduring severe
hardships all night.
The Olive was a small screw steamer,
owned by ]. A. Pretow, Of Franklin,
Va, and plying between North Caro-
lima and Virginia for several years.
She left Franklin last evening for Eden
ton, and had almost reached her des-
tination when the tornado struck her.
She was built in 1859, and wac OF 287
tons gross, 1909 feet long, 20.4 feet

PLANS OF ATLANTIC SQUADRON.
Present Gun Practice May Be Followed by
Cruise to Europe.

Washington, Feb. 49, Upon the re-
suit of three months hard work at the
target practice about to be undertaken
will depend the summer plans OF the
North Atlantic squadron. The fleet is
working out an elaborate and progress
sive set OF exercises and drills devised
by the general board, the purpose being
to familiarize the officers with naval
movements on larger scale than has
ever before been attempted in the
United States navy. The feet has
worked through the program step by
step, and the three months program
now in execution will determine
whether or not the gun work OF the
ships has been 60 far perfected as to
warrant the beginning Of the next
phase, namely, long distance cruise
in feet formation. II this work should
be undertaken next summer, of which
Secretary Moody is by no means cer-
tain, the North Atlantic squadron will
make directly for the Azores, and II the
combined movement is successful up to
that point the ships may go on as far
as Lisbon, but it is not intended that
they shall visit Northern Europe under
any conditions.

NEW PHILIPPINE CURRENCY BILL.
Measure Passed by Senate Provides for
Coinage of Silver Pesos.

Washington. Feb. 19.-The Philip
pines currency bill, passed by the sem
ate today, prescribes that the unit Of
value in the Philippines shall be the
gold peso, of 1873 grains of gold, nine
tenths fine, said gold peso to become
the unit of value when the government
shall have coined and made ready for
circulation not :ess than $1,000 900 of
the silver pesos provided for in the
bill. The gold coins of the United
States, at the rate of one dollar for two
pesos, shall be legal tender in the is
lands.
The bill also provides for an addi-
tional coinage of rs, 900, 900 silver coins
of the denomination of one peso, which
shall be legal tender except whore pro-
vided by contract. Coins of the de-
nomination Of 80 centavos, 20 centavos
and 10 centavos also are provided for,
all such coinage to be under the author
ity of the government OF the Philippine
islands, in such amounts as it may
determine, with the approval OF the
secretary OF war.
The bill also provides for the issue
of certificates of Indebtedness to main
tain the parity of the silver and gold
pesos, such certificates at any time to
be limited to 20,0O0,000 pesos. The
Mexican dollar and the Spanish coins
heretofore used shall be received for
public dues at a rate to be fixed from
time to time by the civil governor of
the islands, preference, however, being
given to the Philippine coins and GER
ti6cates.
The option is given for the coinage Of
the silver pesos either in Manila or any
mint in the United States, which coin
shall bear inscriptions or devices ex-
pressing the sovereignty Of the United
States. The act making any form of
money legal tender after December 81,
1908, is repealed.
The Patterson amendment, providing
for an international conference to fix
commercial exchange, was adopted by
the senate.
Chairman Cooper, of the house COM
mittee on insular affairs, says that as
soon as the bill is received from the
senate from the house it will be sent to
conference.

NO CHANGE IN LAID LAWS.
Repeal Of Timber, Desert and commuta-
tlon Acts Hopeless.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE senate
committee on public lands today or
dered favorable report on the bill to
repeal the timber and stone act, desert
land act and Communication feature of
homestead law. Amendments to omit
repeal of commutation law and sell
timber land on the basis OF appraised
value were debated. Senators opposed
to the bill say there is no prospect Of
its passage at this session.
The action Of the committee is not
significant, for there is no possibility Of
the bill passing the house, even though
it might be railroaded through the
senate. Even this is improbable, be-
cause it is legislation that would pro-
yoke debate, and such debate Is likely
to prove fatal this late in the session.
An attempt was made in committee
to amend the bill to provide for the
sale of timber lands in tracts OF 100
acres to each settler, the price to be
governed by the appraised value of the
timber thereon, but this substitute was
voted down. The committee also re-
jected proposition to omit the conn
mutation clause from the acts to be re-
pealed.
The report today was made largely
for effect, and not with any intention
Of passing the bill, FOR the senate COM
mittee Is fully advised that a majority
OF the public lands committee of the
house will not for minute consider
the bill at this session.

CONFERENCE ON LAWS FOR WEST.
Game Preserves and Land Commission
Considered by President.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-President
Roosevelt tonight held conference
with Representative Jones, of Washing.
ton, MondeIl, of Wyoming, and Lacey,
OF Iowa, at which the bill authorizing
the president to set apart within forest
reservations areas to he known as game
preserves, within which game, fish and
birds shall not be killed, was briefly
discussed. Both Jones and Mondell
objected to the bill, asserting that it
would render state game laws inopera-
tive within such reserves, while Lacey
contended to the contrary. The presi-
dent, while deeply interested in the
proposed legislation, was inclined to
admit the claim of the two opposing
members, and it is believed no further
effort will be made this session to pass
the bill. The president also discussed
with these memberspending resolutions
providing for the appointment of a
public lands commission Of five persons,
to investigate and report upon the
workings.o of the timber and stone, des-
ert land and homestead communication
laws and to make recommendations for
needed changes in these laws, together
with legislation looking to the disposal
of timber on ~unreserved public lands
and providing an adequate means OF
regulating grazing on the public do
main.
The president and members agreed
that such a commission properly con.
Quoted would gather much valuable in
formation, which would be useful in
guiding congress in future land legisla-
tion. The resolutions provide for five
commissioners at $40O per month.
This legislation will be urged and prob
ably adopted before adjournment.

TO extend the life OF the option held by
the government beyond March next
and until the tresty now before the
senate has been ratified by both cOun-
tries.

PRESIDENT APPROVES.
Last Obstacle In Waysof Deschutcs Irri,
gation Project Removed.

Washington, Feb. IL. = President
Roosevelt this afternoon advised Rep.
resentative Moody that he today ap-
proved the map and contract with the
state of Oregon permanently segregat-
ing "a ,707 acres Of land in the Des-
chutes valley, which it is proposed
shall be reclaimed under the Carey act
by the Pilot Butte development COM
pany, Of which A. NJ. Drake is presi-
dent.
This action ends the long contro-
versy, and 80 far as the general govern
ment is concerned, gives this company
the right to proceed with the immediate
construction of its irrigation system,
according to the approved plans. Gov
ernment officials here regard this as
the most important and most promising
Carey act proposition in tho state, and
see no resaon why the project should
not be carried through in the 10 years
allowed by law to successful compile
tion.
Under the terms of the contract with
the state, the Pilot Butte company
will be allowed TO charge an annual
water rental Of 81 per acre, the lien of
the company amounting to SS4s ,557.
This case is the first one in Oregon
under the Carey act to be approved by
the president. 1t has been hung up in
the land Office since early last summer.
Representative Moody throughout the
session has been urging immediate ac-
tion on all Carey act cases in Oergon,
but it was not until Commissioner
Richards took hold that he was able to
get this case "jarred loose"

MORE TRUST LEGISLATION.
Senate Committee May Favor More Dras-
tic Action on Question.

Senate committee May Favor More Dras-
tic Action on Question.
Washington, Feb. 18.-There is pos
sibly some embarrassment ahead for
those senators who have arranged that
there shall be no more trust legislation
at this session than is contained in the
Elkins act and Nelson amendment.
Here is the Judiciary committee of the
senate pounding away on a measure,
and it may report the Littleheld bill,
so as to make it. more drastic than as
it passed the house. Should the COM
mittee report it, it would mean that
the skillfuiIy arranged program of the
senate leaders might be upset. Men
who know something about the feeling
against trusts in their states will not be
willing to sidetrack legislation like the
Littlefeld bill that passed the house
unanimously.
More than this, the reports that have
been so generally circulated that the
Little6eld bin was only "bluff, :"
have caused comment throughout the
country of character to disturb senat-
orvs who are closely identified with big
corporations.
The imputation of bad faith on the
part of the president may also have
some effect. Because the president
urged the Elkins bill and the Nelson
amendment, it has been asserted that
he was aparty to program of "mild"
trust legislation. ssAs matter of fact,
the policy of the president has been to
get all he could when he could. He
found the Nelson amendment could be
procured, and that the Elkins bill could
be passed, and he accepted both. BY
threats and methods scarcely in keep
ing with his Office, he might have
forced more drastic legislation, but as
the two propositions offered we're as
aured, he gladly accepted them. II
more can be obtained he will be
pleased, but if not. he, as chief execu-
tive, will see what an enforcement OF
the new legislation will bring about,
and when the next congress assemblies
he can urge such additions as are found
necessary.

Washington, Feb. II. = Representa-
tive Moody this morning secured fa-
vorable report on his bill introduced
yesterday providing for ratifying the
klamath Indian treaty. He will try
to have 1t put in the Indian appropria-
tion bill now in conference.
The omnibus public building bill re-.
ported to the house today carries $780,

At the request Of Senator Mitchell, a

authorizing the establishment of lie
saving station at the entrance Of Tilla-
nook bay.
Representative Jones today escured
an amendment to the sundry civil bill
appropriating $22, 900 for Lighthouse
at Muckilteo point, near Everett.
BY request OF Representative Jones, a
deputy United States marshal is here
after to be stationed at North Yakima

vents his going out.

COAL TO BE SCARCE.
Strike of British Columbia Miners Is Be.
coming Serious.

Victoria, B. G., Feb. 1.-THE strike
which has been declared in the coal
mines OF the Crows Nest coal company.
at Fernie, Michel, Morrisey and Coal
creek will, it is feared, be almost as
grave in its indirect as in its direct
effects, which threaten to close every
smelter in the Kootenai and Boundary
countries. Recently the miners OF
Nanaimo affiliated with the Western
Federation of miners, in direct antagon-
ism to Ralph Smith, M. p, who warned
them that in so doing they would be
imperilling the good relations which
have existed between them and the new
Vancouver coal company. 1t is now
considered likely that if the strike is
not settled in Fernie, not only will
there be great suffering there, but the
miners Of Nanaimo may be called out.
This would paralyze the coal trade Of
San Francisco. The situation is viewed
with the greatest apprehension and coal
retailers are hurrying scows to Nanaimo
to insure good reserve supply in case
OF trouble.
A special dispatch from Fernie says
the strike situation is not changed and
there is likely to be long struggle.
The miners are determined that the
union shall be recognized, and the
manager Of the coal company is abso-
lutey opposed to meeting them. A
deputation consisting of three miners
from Morrissey, Michel and Coal creek
tried to present their grievances before
Manager Tonkin, but he refused to lis
ten. He will meet them individually
but not collectively. Manager Tonkin
says the miners are making better
wages than in any other place in
Canada

Chicago, Feb. 1S.-The whole coun-
try from the Atlantic to the western
slope of the Rocky mountains is suffer-
ing from the coldest weather known in
February for years. The snow storm
which swept over the Rocky Mountain
states has travelled east and south until
it covers the whole region as fsr as
New York on the east and the Gulf
states on the south.
Beginning in Wyoming and Utah,
where extreme cold and deep snow have
caused great loss of livestock on the
range, the storm extended gradually
until Kansas is under a foot OF snow
and has temperature below zero.
Oklahoma has had snow to take the
place OF rain, and Texas has snow foot
deep. In the far Northwest, near the
boundary of North Dakota and Canada,
Williston is the coldest place in the
United States, with the temperature 40
degrees below zero, and the thermome-
ter registers from 20 to 80 below all
through the Middle West.
The snow reached New York last
night, when four inches had fallen, fol-
lowing close upon sIeet storm which
had almost stopped traffic. The wealth
er bureau predicts gales, snow and ex-
treme cold for the whole Atlantic coast.
The same conditions prevail all along
the lakes.
The South is just escaping from
floods due to heavy rain, which extend
from Louisville southeast to Georgia,

President Has Appointed Him Secretary
OF Commerce and Labor.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-The president
today cent 10 the senate and the senate
confirmed the nomination OF George B.
Ooftelyou to be secretary OF commerce
and labor under the act creating the
new department. The nomination was
referred to the senate after the senate
went into executive session and the
vote was polled on the floor. Senator
Depew reported the nomination with
favorable recommendation. He asked
for immediate action and, as there was
no opposition, Mr.. Cortelyou was con-
frmed.
Few in American public life today
are more widely or more favorably
known than Secretary George B. Cor

inent place in the interest OF the people
and the exemplary manner In which he
has met every emergency that has
arisen before him has won for him the
cordial esteem not only Of those with
whom he has been intimately asso-

also of the body OF the American public
TO whom he is known merely by reputa-
