POPE TO ABANDON
TEMPORAL CLAIM
Negotiations in Progress May Result
in His Acknowledging ltal-
ian Sovereignty.

ROME, Nov. 11.-LOnging for free
dom from his vatican prison because
Of his declining health, Pope Plus y
has resumed negotiations with the
italian government which, t is belieV-
ID, will end the pope's long struggle
for temporal power. The pope, 1t is
claimed. will recognize the Italian SOW
ereignty in Rome, by accepting the
laws of guarantees of 1871, as a par
tial compensation to the holy see for
the losses sustained because of the in
VasiOn of the papal states.
Plus X. it is believed. will consent
to take the annual compensation of
$4,000 which the Italian government
irst offered to Plus TX. and which, if
accepted, would have made the vati-
can richer by more than $15,000,00O in
the last so years. The Italian govern
ment is willing to accept these cOndi-
tons as they are the ones offered to
Plus TX. in 1870, and now that the anti
clerical ZanardeneIli has resigned from
office and the more moderate GioIOtti
is premier. there is every probability
that the negotiations will have hap

plete the remaining twenty-three and
a half miles, and has under him about
100 teams and $50 men.
Altogether there are about 500 men
and $50 teams engaged upon the con-
struction work, and Ellensburg is
Headquarters for the operators. All
provisions for the men and hay and
grain for the horses are purchased
here.
The canal, according to contract
must be complete and turned over TO
the stockholders on or before April l,
1904. but Manager j. E. Frost says that
provided weather conditions are favor
able and nothing unforeseen should Oc-
eur. the entire canal, including tunnel
work and fiuming, will be finished by
February.

gates 2600 feet. The cost of the canal
in it's entirety Will approximate S135,-
600.
Among the other large projects pro-
NOTED in this and surrounding valleys
is the contemplated high line irriga-
ton canal. which, if completed accord
ing to the present plans, will irrigate
400. 900 acres of land and will cost APP
proximately 100000. A large corps
of engineers has been at work on the
proposed canal for several months and
will soon be in a position to render
a report as to the feasibility of the un-
dertaking.
A great deal of interest is manifest
ed by the people in this locality over
the probability of this vast project
materializing. as it means much for
the ultimate development of the Kitti-
tas valley.
Recent experiments have demonstrate
ed that fruit can be grown success
fully at this elevation, and the pests
common to fruit in other sections of
the state are entirely unknown here.
Large areas are to be planted to fruit
and this industry promises to be very
lucrative.

CONFLICT SEtMS INEVITABLE

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. IL
In speech at Cando last year Senator
Hansbrough of North Dakota predicted
that the next great war would be be
tween the United States and Russia,
with Great Britain as an American ally
the issue being the Chinese orient and
the battle-ground Alaska. The pro-
lOngation of the eastern crisis and
Russia's evident intention to control
Manchuria coupled with the general
belief that a foOthold in Manchuria is
but a part of the Russian ASiatic
scheme, entities the Hansbrough pre-
diction to consideration.
Washington diplomats take a seri-
Gus view of the Chinese question.
There may be no war in the Immediate
future; but that eventually the United
States will be compelled to restrain
Russian advances by force is generally
believed here.
Breat Britain, which has many i'm
portant interests, commercial and
otherwise, in the Chinese orient, also
feels that a conflict between Russia on
the one hand and herself and the Unit
ed States on the other, is bound to
come. Other senators have a similar
opinion to that of Mr.. Hansbrough,
and since the settlement of the Alas
kan boundary dispute. there is more
talk than ever in official circles about
the necessity which will arise before
many years of strong alliance be-
tween the two great English-speaking
powers for the continuance of stable
conditions in China, for the open
door," and above all, for the supre-
macy of Anglo Saxon civilization. With
Russia in control of the northern half
of Europe and Asia. there would be
nothing to stop her march towards
world conquest Her civilization
would dominate all lands, and the work
of centuries for the uplifting of hu-
manity would be for naught.

NEW FORM OF PIRACY.
Literary Trickster Signs Name oil
Former Government Official to
His OUTPUT

NE WYORk, Nov. 17.-Frank A
Vanderlip, vice president of the Ma
tional City bank and formerly assistant
secretary of the treasury, is the latest
victim of a new form of literary piracy
The scheme is not to steal ideas or
phrases, but to appropriate the name
of someone we'll known, write a lot of
rubbish on some subject, sensational if
possible, attach his name, and sell the
product to a syndicate, which retails
1t to newspapers. magazines, or period
icals. The catual author of the stuff
acts as the alleged agent of the man
whose name is signed to the article,
and he pockets the proceeds.
At least one Chicago paper and a
score of other publications in the West
published recently articles on The
Advantages of Matrimony," signed by
Frank \. Vanderbilt formerly assist
ant secretary of the treasury
When Mr. NanderIip's attention was
called TO these articles by some of his
friends, he repudiated them utterly
An investigation is going on now. MI
Nanderlip has submitted the case to
his attorneys here and in Chicago and
will find the originator of the scheme
if possible
Friends of Mr.. Nanderlip point out
that it is not impossible the same
schemer might sign Mr.. Vanderlips
name to some statement regarding
financial conditions where it might be
productive Of consequences not at all

OIL FOR THE BODY

You can't lose an atom
without feeling it. The body
is like an engine, a watch,
a machine; must be kept in
good order to run right.
That's the reason SCOTS
Emulsion is so successful in
all wasting diseases. 1t feeds,
nourishes and strengthens
when ordinary food won't.
Doctors say SCOTS Emul-
sion is the best nOurlshment
for those who are not as well
as they should be.
We use the whole oil in
SCOTS Emulsion because the
great reputation of cod liver
oil as a food and medicine
was made by using it in this
way. Substitutes in the shape
of wines, cordials, extracts,
etc., should be carefully
avoided.

OLD GOLD
PRACTICALLY NONE OF THE
 ANCIENT METAL
In the Present Gold Stock of the World-Most of the Gold Now a-days Flies Away with
 the Winds.

We see men every day applying gold leaf to signs and shop windows Many thousands of dollars worth of gold IS thus used in this city every year. Gold leaf makes the most attractive business signs that have yet been invented. But in all our busy thoroughfares, even in Broadway, wherever the shopkeeper, the financier the manufacturer or the pro- fessional man advertiscs his name and utility, we may find these gilt signs in every stage of dilapidation. The storms and winds are playing havoc with the gold. and eventually every dollar Of 1t will be lost, says The New York Sun
 This Is one of the ways in which mil lions of dollars of gold have been lost as surely as though the metal had been sunk in mid-ocean. It is a phase of the disap- pearance of gold that has been going on since the days before history was writ ten: for the art of gold beating is re- ferred to by Homer, and Pliny tells us of an ounce of gold extended to 750 leaves each four fingers square. which is three times the thickness of the ordinary gold leaf Of the present day.
 It sems q startling statement, but 1t is true. that economists have held the belief that nearly all the gold of ancient times has entirely disappeared, and yet there is good ground for the conclusion that from the earliest times of which we have record of the prevalence and use of gold to the downfall of the Roman Re public. the total quantity of gold utilized
The Montgomery advertiser., 1903-11-13

| few specimens of his rarely. beautiful | work are now to be found in m,seums | or in private hands. The vicissitudes oi | fortune compelled many once wealthy l families to part with these works or arr | for the gold that was in them, and they 1 were melted by sordid persons who want ed only the gold.
 | All the hundreds of influences which to-day afe depicting the gold supply were, of course, operative in ancient | times. Gold was lost in the process Of manufacture: 1t was reduced to dust ana | lost; it was lost in deep waters. buried | in tombs, and, in troubious times. was ! hidden in the earth and never recovered. | It passed out Of human hands in many other ways. Not a bit of it could be de- stroyed, but was just as far beyond the reach of man. for the lost gold was so widely and thinly distributed that 1t would never pay to hunt for it. H. s in fact believed that very little of the vast amount of gold contributed to the supply in the earliest days of gold seek ing in America is now available.
 The forces of nature also are inces- sanity trying to put gold beyond our
 reach. We know that a large part of our present supply has been derived from
 placer mines. By the action of water fine particles of gold are beng daily carried seaward. Much of 1t is scattered through the sand and mud banks of the
 lower streams which are to make the
 sandstones and slates of future geological eras; but much of 1t also is carried out to sea and ecattered over the sea floor beyond human reach. probably for all
 time; and m enorInUus amount of gold that impregnates the banks hnd valleys
 of the streams Is so very tniniy distrib- uted that 1t takes all the way from 1.0O0
 to 3,OOO colors to make a cent, and so can never pay in practical mining.
 As far as we yet know, however the
 supply of gold retained in the rocks for
 us to liberate and utilize is lnexhausti- ble. New discoveries. as remarkable as any that have been made. will swell the gold resources; and the history of
 some of these discoveries will undoubted-
 ly be as interesting and romantic as that
 of the discovery of the precious metal
 at Helena. Mont, which gave that region its importance as great gold mining
 center. The story of this first find" in Montana illustrates the purely accidental and fortuitOus manner in which some of the most important discoveries have been made.
 The story goes that party of four prospectors had started for well known mining camp. On July l5, 1864 they halt cd on the site of the city of Helena to prepare dinner and rest their horses, When they were ready to resume their journey. one of them happened to walk down to the stream to get a drink of water. It chanced that he began to scratch the gravel with his hands, after the habit of prospectors. when to his as- tonishment he drew out nugget as large as q gold dollar. A hundred dollars worth of gold was taken out in twenty minutes. Of course. the men at once set tied on the spot and located claims. In a short time news of tnelr success spread abroad. hundreds of other miners
