The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1903-10-15

POLITICIANS are PROMISING
themselves an interesting and
eventful winter at the National
capital. The Fifty-eighth Con-
gress begins with an extra ses-
sion and on the eve of presiden-
tial election. The House is under
sway of a new speaker and each
party is confident and aggressive;
the party leaders realize that any
mistake made this winter will be
fully exploited by their enemies
in the coming campaign. The
President knows that he is a
candidate for reelection, but all
the democrats and perhaps
some members of his own party
are watching an opportunity to
kill or cripple him politically.
German in the Senate and Hearst
in the House have undisguised
presidential ambitions and will
allow no opportunity to slip by.
The former counts on the south
and the conservative element OF
the democracy while the latter
courts the labor vote. 1t is said
that Mr.. Hearst has rented an
apar tment of 100 rooms at cost
of $50, 900. where it is expected
he will entertain his guests and
stimulate his presidential boom.
The democracy is in constant
danger of falling to pieces Jet it's
members realize that if they can
keep together they may have a
chance to win. Any and every
thing will be turned into polite
al capital and the situation is
decidedly interesting. The ex.
ira session will consider Cuban
reciprocity which may engender
a discussion of the tariff and a
financial bill which may call forth
the old quarrels on the money
question.
At the regular session the
statehood, ship subsidy, the
trans-isthmian canal, the army
canteen, the postal frauds, Indian
scandals and countless other
public questions will cause sharp
discussions along party lines.
Foreign affairs gives, promise of
some interesting developments.
Venezuela is causing trouble,
Santo Domingo seems bound to
defy the Mhnroe Doctrine,
Turkey gives cause of complaint
and even Canada IS a little an
noyed over the Alaska boundary
dispute At all events there will
be plenty of excitement and poll
ticians and the Washington cor
respondents expect busy sea-
son, and it will last until after
the presidential election.

SOME of the press of the state
seem to see danger in the agita-
ton regarding the protection of
game, and in the suggestion of
The TINES and other newspap-
ers that all this game law bust
ness is a farce. And some of the
partisan newspapers running
strongly to factionalism have
discovered in the suggestion
that there is nothing Sin it" ex-
cept opposition to the state ad
ministration and crack at the
game wardens. The position
taken by The TIMES is not a new
one so far as we are concerned.
as we can refer to the files of
this newspaper of four and six
years ago and produce articles
expressing the same sentiment
as that which appeared two
weeks ago. The TINES believes
now as it did years ago that
there should be practical bolish-
ment Of most OF the game laws.
It is not the horde of game
wardens that we object to, and
in fact no particular objection
can be raised under that score.
The large force of game wardens
is only an Incidental towards
carrying out the law that exists.
is not the operation of the law
but the law itself that is at fault.
Game laws as they now exist in
restriction to personal liberties,
fail to command the respect of
the people of the state. Such
laws are a nuisance and ought
not to exist, and for that reason
should be practically abolished.
They are class laws made in the
interests of few sportsmen of
the state and do not meet with
the general approval of the peo-
pie. They serve no particular
and it is doubtful if
they are not doing more damage
to the settlement of northern
Wisconsin than they are good.

THE Northern Pacific railroad has
been having no end of trouble with
outlaws in the west owing to many
attempts, some of which have been

CURIOUS YAQU| STORY.

plcraJion trip. Matos and Gonzales were fishing on the banks of the Yaqui river when they were surprised by the governors staff and placed under ar rest. They were taken to the house of the priests, where a room had been converted in a tribunal, and tried for the offense.
 The king, wearing 8 crown Of feath- CTS and a leather mantle. sat under a dais. having the priest at his left side. The court occupied seats made Of rough tree trunks around the court room. After the hearing of the case. the priest decided that the intruders deserved to be executed. MaIos and Gonzales begged pardon, and the ter rib,e sentence was changed for q number of lashes laid on by the con seryator of the royal cato -ntne-tails. After the execution of the sentence the prisoners were released. but all their money and belongings, with the eXcep tion of their boat, wre confscated.
 The two men roWed of the unhospit- able land and reached .Guaymas where they reported their expRrieuce to the governor of Sonora with the result that a detachment of soldiers was i'm mediately sent out to destroy the puebI To and bring the king. his secretary, his court and all his subjects to Quay mas
 The troops on their arrival, however. found that the willy priest, having heard of theiF coming, had fled, but they succeeded in catching the king in his regal skins and thirteen Of his and chiefs Of staff. These were borne away to Guaymas, where they were tried and sentenced to two years i'm prisonment each.

-- curious story comes from Sonora relative to the establishment of a Yaqui kingdom and the subsequent overthrow of its sovereign and mlnions by battalion of federal troops.
 Among a party of Indians who were forced to seek shelter in the most in accessible parts Of the SierraS, as the result of the warfare waged against them during the recent Yaqui uprising, according to the news that reaches the Mexican Herald, was an old and san quinary Indian who decided to pro claim himself the rulC- of the small colony. under the name If governor general of the Rio. YaQui.
 He selected 8 number of the -avest natives and formed what he calle his stan, with whom he obliged the others to recognize him as their sovereign. He gave permission on payment for hunting. fishing, marrying, and other domestic acts, and exacted heavy tax es for every tavor granted. Those woh objected or acted in any way with out the ruier's leave, were sure to be treated in the same manner as Cuauh- temoc was treated by the Spanisrds four hundred. years ago.
 When pueblo had been built 8 priest made his appearance among the Indians. He immediately waited ou the governor general and the result of their first interview was that he was appointed the rulers secretary, and supreme jadge of the tribunal. The following dizy a decree was issued by which all men above sixteen and below sixty years had to contribute a weeks work for Ehe erection of a church, also of a residence for the priest.
 Nobody in the ou.side world knew of the existence of this kingdom until GabiaI Mates and Francisco Gonzales, two residents of GuGymas, reached the pueblo in small boat on an ex-

HAWAIIAN ISLANDS PROSPEROUS
Since Annexation They Have Changed
 For the Better

Washington, Feb. 26.-The bersfits to the agricultural industries of the Hawaiin Islands resulting from the closer reLationstEp with the United States which has come through annex ation. are shown hy some remarkable statements recently made by ss commit tee organized in those islands in the interest of improved agricultural oper- ations and especially diversifcation of agricultural products to meet the 6e= mands of the United States fo- tropi-7 cal products of various kinds.
 This committee was appointed by s- public meeting recently held n the Hawaiian Islands and in it's address to the people of the islands, says:
 The importance and utmost necessi- ty of ar institution like the one con temp ataa is too evident to require ex' position. For years past, the asricul- tural interests of these islands have been insignificant and their pursuit unproftable. With au uncertain and distant market-with EttIe or no en- couragemen or facilities given to foreign tillers Gf the soil or sufficient capital to experiment upon its capa- bilities, most of the agricultural en- terprises have langufshed or utterly ! failed
 1 And with the exception of a few sugar and coffee plantations, the pro prisSors of which have invested too much capital to- be able to bandon them without heavy loss, and which were still struggling on with doubtful prospects, the whole. amount. of agrl- cultural operations at these islands Iconsisted of the raising of fruit and Vegetables for the fleet of whaleShips that semi-annually touched here for supplies,
 Within the last two years. however, a great and sudden change has taken place in the prospects of this group. The extension of the territory and government of the United States to the borders of the Pacific. the wonderful! discoveries in California and Ehe con seduent. almost instantaneous, creation of a mighty state on the western front of the American union has. as il were. with the wand of the magician drawn this little group into the very focus of civilization and prosperity.
 We find ourselves suddenly sur rounded by intelligent, enterprisins neighbors, who call loudly to us tc furnish of our abundance and receive ? in exchange theirs. Our coffee anC sugar no longer remain piled in ou warehouses. Our fruits and vegeta bles no longer decay on the spot wher they were grown. We are not eVel compelled to seek for them a market
 but clamorous purchasers come t'
 our very doors and carry of our SUI
 plies with an eagerness that ha
 caused us to feel scarcity ourselve:
 and we are assured not only for a
 these. but for any other products
 the soil that We will raise, read - and increasing demand may be relic
 on from our enterprising neighbors.
 The native government. too, ir
 pered by the irresistible influence an
 example of the AnglO-SaxoD enerl
 and progress, which 1t sees in every
 rection, is relaxing its former ten
 cious grasp on arable lands of the
 lands, and even inviting and encoura
 ing their cultivation by foreign six

 In Pennsylvania the patriarchai branch of odd Fellowship is enjoying an era of progressive prosperity such as. it has not experienced in tue Key stone State for many years.
 A handsome Odd Fellows temple-was dedicated in Findlay. O.. recently. The building cost S30s09O and contains the most conmodious lodge and banquet rooms in the nocthern part of the state The Illinois odd Fellows league has n membership of about 12,O00 and has ! represeraation from the county and i the state. The object of the organiza | tion Is to promote the well being of | Odd Fellows in general and their fam | flies. and in this way to relieve the in dividual lodges of much hard work.
 The sign of the three links is known in every corner of the land, and wher- eyer it is known it is honOred and re Fered, for Odd Fellowship is synOny- nous with the friendship, love and truth for which those three links stand ] It is said that all the Odd Fellows homes in the country are supported by per capita taxes. This seems to be tht only just and equitable way of doing 1t in large degree.

The best previous record to this was
$50 feet, made In thirty shifts by
James Skyrme, now foreman at the
Moonlight mine, In the Summit Val
ley mining district. The work ac-
complished by Buckley was on an
average Of eleven and seventh
feet per day. The ground was SO
hard that II was necessary to timber
hut fifty feet Of the $40 feet Of the
drift. The drift was run at a depth
Of 400 feet from the main shaft and

SENATOR Germans appointment OF
Senator Tillman as a member Of the
Democratic steering committee Of the
senate, has been made the subject OF
more or less criticism on the part of
various senators. For one thing many
Of the senator's consider Senator Tillman
too radical for safety, and they fear
that by reason Of his position he will
constantly keep the committee In hot
water. Others urge that Senator TILL
man was difficult to locate in the recent
statehood fight, being first on one pol
10y and then on another, and they do
not consider this record as being a good
recommendation for membership on
such an important committee. How
ever, Senator Germans action Is not
entirely without endorsement. Quite a
number Of level headed senators are of
opinion that the placing OF Senator
Tillman on this committee was wise
stroke of policy for the reason that he
will be more completely under the in
fluence Of senators who have a more
firmly fixed reputation for conserva-
tism. We are inclined to the idea that
this last mentioned class has taken the
sensible view Of the situation. There Is
no doubt Of the fact that Senator Till
man Is somewhat radical at times; but
nevertheless, it must be admitted that
he is a remarkably shrewd politician
and he will be of no little value to the
committee.
