SETTLERS LOSE LAND.
Northern Pacific Getting Improved
Farms in Whitman County.

Washtucna, Wash, Feb. 6.-Another
federal land Office decision in favor of
the Northern Pacific Railway Compa-
ny, affecting the homestead entry of
John McTier. Whitman county ranch
er, has just been handed down and for
warded via the Walla Walla land office
to Mr.. McTier. This makes about
thirty-fve cases, all alike, decided in
the railroads favor since last October
These claims are nearly all located in
Whitman county. They were original
ly selected as indemnity land by the
Northern Pacific. and later successfully
contested by settlers. All the farms
are now improved and are worth an av-
erage of abour $50 an acre.. In most
cases the settlers have United States
patents.
Last year the Northern Pacific pro-
ceeded to fight again, and it's attorneys
have brought up case after case before
the federal department, winning every
time. These settlers will now either
have to give up their quarter sections.
come to some arrangements with the
or appeal to the secretary of
the interior. None of them has made
any move yet.

GREAT TIDAL WAVE.
Over a Thousand Residents Of
the South Sea Islands
Perish.

San Francisco, Feb. 9.-News of a
fearful loss of life in destructive
storm that swept over the South Sea
islands last month has reached here on
the steamer Mariposa direct from Ia
biti. The loss of life is estimated at
not less than 1000. On January ID
last huge tidal wave, accompanied by
terrific hurricane, attacked the Soci-
ETY. islands and the Tuamotu group
with fearful force, causing death and
devastation never before equalled in a
land of dreaded storms.
The storm reigned for several days,
reaching its maximum strength between
January l4th and 10Th. From the mea-
ger advices received at Tahiti up to the
time of the sailing of the Mariposa it
is estimated that at least one thousand
of the islands inhabitants lost their
lives. 1t is feared that later advices
will add to the long list. Seven Euro
peans are known to have persisted.

as he had been on the occasion of for
mer reunions of the assoc citation, but on

IN RETALIATION.
IMPORTANT ORDER IN COUNCIL
AT OTTAWA.
Has Attracted Little Attention, but
1t is Believed It Will Seriously
Affect Pacific Northwest Ship
ping---Order Passed Previous to
Making Nome q SUPPORT.

Washington, Feb. 6.-It is believed
that severe act of retaliation on the
part of Canada towards the United
States was intended in the order in
council, passed a few days ago, at OF
tawa. This order, which establishes
for Canada regulations similar in all
respects to our coasting law, has at
tracted little public attention, but it is
regarded by the officials of the treasury
department as possessing the gravest
import for American shipping interests
in the Pacific Northwest. The order
of the Ottawa authorities provides that
henceforth all goods of Canadian pro-
duction, which are transported from
any port of the Dominion through wa
tiers outside Canadian Jurisdiction, shall
be carried exclusively in Canadian yes
sells.
American vessels will no longer be
allowed to transport Canadian goods
from Vancouver, Victoria or other Brit
ish Columbia ports to st. Michael, or
Skagway, or Juneau, and thence in
bond to the Canadian Yukon. All this
traffic, which during the last few years,
has been carried largely in American
ships, must hereafter he carried in Ca
madam bottoms, under pain of seizure.
The order in council was passed a few
days before the order OF Secretary Shaw,
which declared Nome, Alaska, to be a
SUPPORT of entry, thus opening that
port to Canadian and British ships.
The Canadian shipping interests have
felt keenly for several years the refusal
of this government to make a SUPPORT
of Nome. thus giving them share IF
the large Northwestern Alaska trade.
The act of the Canadian authorities is
believed, therefore, to be one of retail
alton. Had the action become known
to the treasury department in time,
Secretary Shaw's order. would probably
have been withheld.

Passes Away Suddenly While on His
Return to This Couutrv

Passes Away Suddenly While on His
Return to This Country.
San Francisco, Feb. 9.-Rear Admi.
raj Frank Wi.des of the United States
navy died suddenly on board the
steamer China Friday morning. He
was on his way home on sick leave
when death overlook him.
Admiral Wildes had charge of the
feet in Manila and about the Philip
pines. He had been on the station
since June, 1902. From the first the
trying climate seemed to be too much
for him. Under the strain of the con-
tinued heat and excessive humidity he
constantly lost strength until the naval
board of survey stepped in and the ad-
miral was condemned physically and
was ordered home to recuperate.
1t was reported that upon the admit
rails arrival in this country, if the sea
voyage had brought back his health, he
was to be placed in charge OF the Brem-
erton navy yard. But the invigorating
sea air did not work the cure hoped for
and he died just before the China
reached this port.
