Magellan'r Strait.

Interesting facts about the geological
history of the southern end Of the new
world were developed by the recent
Princeton university expedition to Pat
agonia. The terraces on the plains
of southern Patagonia are sea cliffs
cut during pauses in the slow emer-
gence of the land, and the present
coast is the latest representative Of
this series of cliffs. Before its SUBJ
mergence great transverse valleys were
eroded across the land, and since the
re-emergence of the latter these val
leys contain small intermittent rivers.
The southernmost of the ancient val
leys. which has not yet entirely
emerged. forms the strait Of Magellan.

LONG DEFERRED RESPECT.

After many years at last respect
has been shown the bones of the men
who fell in the final stand made by
Chief Joseph. They have been re-
moved from the unmarked trench in
to which they were cast in the track
less wilderness where they offered
their lives for the benefit of civiliza-
ton and peace, and given honorable
sepulchre at a military post. This
should have been done years ago. To
the chivalry and humanity of General
Miles are due the tardy honors paid
the memory of those who served with
him in that bloody period. Scattered
all over the prairies of the northwest
are graves of other soldiers who be-
came sacrifices to the enmity of the
redman for his white brother. They,
too, should be looked up and their
sacred contents removed to cemeter-
les over which floats the flag under
which they died, where their graves
would receive the tender care that
should be given them and where gen
erations to come could gaze upon
them and recall the awful cost of the
struggle waged during SC many long
and bloody years for the reclamation
of the land where now dwell thou
sands Of happy, prosperous and con-
tented people, a reclamation made
possible only by the valOr and bravery
of those humble heroes, who, unsung
and unhonored, died that safety and
security might come to those who
were to follow the trail they marked

CRAFTY Mr.. PERKINS.

Seattle and Tacoma are still at
war over the presidents visit to Puget
sound and the newspapers of the
two towns continue to hurl defiance
and damnation at one another in a
manner amusing to the rest OF the
country. While the Seattle papers
may eventually have the last word in
the fearful controversy, those from
Tacoma cannot get over the fact that
one Of their representatives, an un-
godly wretch whom the Seattleites
attempt to belittle by referring to him
as Sammy" Perkins, without invita-
ton, appropriated one of the forty
eight seats in the carriages provided
by the Seattle committee for the mem
bers of the presidential party and
local. celebrities, who seem to have
been almost equally divided. BY this
coup Mr.. Perkins forced out one of
the prominent citizens in carriages"
which happened to be no less a p. c.
than the chairman of the Seattle re-
ception committee. Not content with
this, when Mr.. Perkins returned to
his home he had the newspaper with
which he is connected print a picture
representing Roosevelt riding in
hack occupying a seat with himself
This last insult was more than or

Alexander and Draga may have
been all that their enemies allege
and their removal may mean much
that will be of lasting benefit to Ser
via, but the c~owardliness and cruelty
of their assassination cause the rest
of the world to hold it's hands aghast
and wonder that such a thing could be
possible in a nation claiming to be
civilized. The descendant of a swine
herd who has been called to the blood
stained throne may fancy himself Sc
cure and safe, having the support of
the army and, as it would seem the
majority of the people over whom he
has been called to rule, but wisdom
should teach him to be ever on his
guard. A nation that not only CON

one king and queen should not be de-

nation that the the person fortunate
enough to stand the highest among all
the applicants would receive the posi-.
ton of disciplinarian at Fort Totten

after the date of the examination was
announced received a letter from a
young man in Missouri which read:

II Take. Year. to Climb.

The project of climbing the loftiest
mountain on the earth. Mount Everest.
in the Himalaya mountains, whose
tremendous head rises, according to
trigOnometrical measurements, 29,OO2
feet above sea level, has now reached
a stage Immediately antecedent to the
actual attempt. A party led by Mr..
Eckenstein. an experienced climber, has
set out for the foot of the great peak.
Several celebrated mountain climbers
have expressed the opinion that the
feat is feasible. but only by the method
of gradual ascent. whereby the adven-
turers may. become Injured to the effects
of a rare atmosphere. Months and even
years may be spent in ascending to
higher and higher levels. a long pause

Public Speaking.

Hon. F. \. Critz, spoke at the
Court House last Thursday in be-
half of his candIdncy for Cover
nor. A good audience greeted
him and gaye marked attention.
Frequent burst of applause were
ELECTED by the strong points OF
his speech as they fell upon the
ears Of his hearers. His speach
was HI open and candid enuDcia-
tion of his views upon the ques-
tions now before the people. The
distinguished gentleman is force
full and impressive speaker and
impar;s sense of his sincerity
and earnestness In his monner.
His speech was we'll received and
it was apparent that he was touch
ing chords of approval during its
delivery. Judge Critz made mauy
friends here that day. 1t is APP
parent that he has a large follow
ing in Lee county, which will
show itself on election day.
Major j. X. Vardaman spoke to
a large crowd at the Court House
last Friday and received marked
attention. The Major was in
fine feather and rs it was apparent
that he had the sympathy of many
of his hearers he spoke under the
Inspiration of approval which their
presence impaired. His speech
varied but little from the speech
which lie made here last term of
Court. There has been no modi-
fication of his views upon state
questions as then enunciated. If
anything, there has been rather
that strengthening of confidence in
his positions which follows fle-
quent expressions of approval. 1t
Is apparent that Maj. Vardaman
has a very strong following in
Lee county. The tide which turn
ed IN his favor when he last spoke
has mot receded and when the
primary election is over it will be
seen that he has a strong host of
friends.
