The new county commissioners, w. l..
Lince, f. j. Handle and L. Pace met at
the court house Monday morning at
nine O'Clock and were installed. They
then adjourned until 80 p. m. the
same day and proceeded with county
business. Up to the present time there
has been little accomplished with the
exception that taxes ON the improve
ment of lot IL, block 1876, were found
erroneous and the assessment ordered
cancelled. Also assessment on lots 9-l0-
l1-l2-l3, block 2T3, were found to be
erroneous and were cancelled. The
jury-room in the court house will be
partiiioned off and made temporary
office for county surveyor.

YAKIMA COUNTY CAPTURES
SPEAKERSHIP or HOUSE
DR.. y. h. Hare Lands the Plum and
and In SO Doing BestowS Honor
Upon This County.

In a fierce contest between the An
keny forces on one hand as opposed to
Harold Preston of Seattle, DR.. W. H.
Hare OF Yakima county has defeated r..
b. Wilson Of kittitas for the speaker
ship of the house OF representatives.
The Preston followers attribute the
defeat of Wilson to the boiling of two
King county delegates which turned the
tide in Harc's direction and seemed to
sweep everything before it. Because
Wilson had once refused to vote for An
keny for senator after having promised
to do so, the King county delegates re-
fused him their support.
1t now looks like Ankeny for the sem
ate; at any rate he is the favorite at the
time of going to press. Harold Preston
had the following to say relative to the
defeat of Wilson:
81 attribute the failure of my friends
to elect their candidate for speaker of
the house of representatives solely to
the refusal of two members of the King
county delegation, Representative
Clarke and Representative Carrie, to
stand with the other fifteen. Had King
county stood solid, as they We're instruct
ed by the people of King county to do
in all matters connected with this con-
test, there would have been no question
of favorable result"

indulge in butter, milk or vegetables

is that after a long trial of that diet
he finds himself much younger than

CLAIMS of THE ALLIES.

There is some justice. in the position
Italy in regard to the offer of Mr.. Bow
en-. who represents Venezuela at Wash
ington in the matter of the claims
which the foregoing Powers have
against her. There are several other
Powers which have claims against Ven
ezuela. among them this country and
France. Mr.. Bowen's offer is to set
apart Is per cent. of the customs re-
ceipts of Venezuela for the payment of
claims, the money to be divided equally
between all the claimants.
The point the allies make is that they
went to the expense and trouble of
sending warships to Venezuela, and
that the policy they pursued resulted in
an offer of a settlement. 1t doesn't
seem just and fair that the countries
which did nothing towards collecting
| their claims should be treated as lib
orally as those that did something.
If Venezuela were prepared to pay all
the claims against her the allies would
have no reason for complaint. Having
got their money it would be no affair
of theirs if Venezuela should pay other
debts, but when there is only a COM
paratively small sum available for the
payment of claims they think they
should be paid before the claims of 9TH
er creditors are considered.
There is justice in the position they
| take. If they should assent to Mr..
| Bowen's plan they would practically
| consent to being punished by Venezuela
for undertaking to. collect from her
what she admits she owes them.
1t is probable that the allies wouldn't
! object to the United States being put
upon the basis they occupy in the di-
vision of available funds. because the
! United States are party to the pend
| ing settlement but in respect to all
! other governments they insist upon be-
| ing preferred creditors, and if they are
made preferred creditors France, prob
ably. will make trouble. 1t is by no
/ means certain yet that the Venezuelan
imbroglio will be settled without an
appeal to force.

The Prospector in Paradise.

Cy Warman tells the following story
in the February Lippincott's:
A miner died a natural death and
went straightway to his reward. He
was not the first Troanduyker to die
a natural death, but he was, so far
as the narrator had been able to as
certain, the only one to land with his
outfit on the Shining Shore. When
this pioneer prospector had been there
a long, long while, another miner
knocked for admission.
You can't come in" said the good
man at the gate. I'VE have one miner
here now, and he has ruined the streets.
Turn a corner suddenly on the way
to choir practice and you'll fall into
a prospect hole. Besides, he is ever
dissatisfied. No matter how good the
claim, he will abandon it and go grub
bling in another place. No, you can't
come in"
Now see here, Pete" said the ap-
plicant, I'm no parachute jumper, an
1 don't want to take no chances on a
long drop. You let me in and I'll not
only agree to work myself, but I'll un-
dertake to get that duck out O these
diggins inside of an hour. You don't
know me. I'm a miner, all right, but
l don't do no work. I'm the walkin
baSs-see."
IAN right" said Peter, turning the
key slowly, but if you. fail, you 60"
The newcomer peered down the shaft
where the restless prospector was
working and coughed. He picked up
a pearl and let it fall on the miners
wing, and the miner looked up.
What have you got?" asked the
man at the top.
-Four walls of solid gold" replied
the prospector.
How long have you been on the
creek-that is, in the Campo"
Bout hundred years, l Judge"
Say" said the walking boss, crouch
ing close to the shaft and shading his
mouth with one hand. 'thave you heard
of the new diggins in Hades?"
"No-what's it like?"
well, I've seen them bottling the
pure quill-just dipping it up in the
revenes and passing it through a fun
mel and carrying it away to cool. It's
a hot country, you know"
Are you miner?'
Il am"
rs that straight goods you are CIV
ing me?"
1T is, oh benighted brother, and
could say more, only my time is linn
tied"
In precisely thirty-eight minutes
from the advent of the newcomer the
prospector was out and the walking
boss had jumped his claim.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York Commercial Qnd. }
says: England manifests a most SEN
sible and kindly spirit in the Venezue-
Ian affair. She rightly considers the
good will and friendliness of the United
States of more consequence than the
small sum of money Venezuela may
owe. Germany's action evinces lack
of consideration"
The Norfolk (Va.) Landmark (Dem.)
says: President Roosevelt is warm in
his praises of the late Maj. Mckinley s
policy. Mr.. Roosevelt carries out that
policy faithfully where it was most
conspicuously wrong Tin the Philip

conspicuously right Gin the discourage

1t seems that the State Department
officials have been not a little perplex-
ed by the announcement that Count
Speck Won Sternberg was coming to
Washington as envoy extraordinary
and minister pIenipotentiary. Germany
now has an embassy at Washington.
Should the new diplomatic representa-
tive come merely as minister it
would reduce the embassy to a mere
legation, and it would devolve upon
the United States to recall their am
bassador from Berlin and appoint
minister in his stead. The probable ex-
PLANTATION of the matter, however, is
that DR.. Won Holleben has not been
relieved of his office; that he is still
ambassador to the United States, and
that Won Sternberg is given only
temporary appointment to fill in the
time of the ambassadors leave of abb
sence. Just at this juncture it is high
ly improbable that Germany would
reduce the rank of her diplomatic rep
resentative at Washington. Should
Won Holleben retire, Won Sternberg
or another would quickly be advanced
to his position.

why Verdi Was Assured.

When Verdi was putting the last
touches to. I'll Trovatore" he was Wis
tied in his study by privileged friend,
who was one of the ablest living mu-
sicians and critics. He was permitted
to examine the score and run over the
anvil chorus" on the pianoforte,
What do you think of that?" asked
Verdi. "Trash!" responded the con-
noisseur. Verdi rubbed his hands and
chuckled. 'Now look at this" he said.
Rubbish" said the other, rolling a
cigarette. The composer rose and en-
barced him with a burst of joy. What
do you mean?" asked the critic. My
dear friend" cried Verdi, Il have been
making a popular opera. In it 1 re-
solved to please everybody except the
purists, the great judges, the classic
lists, like you. Had 1 pleased you
should have pleased no one else. What
you say assures me of success. In

sung and roared and whistled and bar
rel-organed all over Italy" And so it
proved.

the Americanism of its owner, until
the boss of the baggage men sent
them about their work.

1t is predicted that Senator Morgan
of Alabama will withdraw his oppo-
sition to the Panama canal PROPOSE
ton and vote for the ratification of
the treaty. He has been the ablest
and most persistent advocate of the
Nicaragua canal route, not because he
is an obstructionist but because he
wants canal built and firmly believes
the Nicaraguan to be the best of all
the routes proposed. When he sees
that his pet project cannot be put
through. it is reasonable to suppose
he will lend his influence to construc-

The Morning News was some days
ago invited by the New York World to
contribute to a fund, to be raised by
the newspapers of the country, to aid
in 'the legal prosecution" of Lieut..
Gov. Tillman for the killing of Mr..
Gonzales, editor of the Columbia State.
The Worlds invitation was based on
the ground that the tragedy was an
assault on the liberty of the press.
The Morning News does not regard it
as the legitimate function of a news
paper to become a prosecutor or a con-
tributor to funds in aid of the prose-
cution of cases in the criminal courts.
1t will be an evil day for liberty when
the newspapers take it upon them
selves to go into court to secure the
conviction of persons charged with
crimes. The courts of South Carolina
are amply able to take care of the
Columbia tragedy, without outside aid
or interference. They were establish
ed for the especial purpose of meet
ing just such contingencies as that
which has arisen in this case. The
best thing that the World and all 9TH
er newspapers can do is to keep hands
off, in so far as the proceedings be-
fore the court are concerned.
