AFFAIRS IN PHILIPPINES
FRIAR QUESTION DISCUSSED AT
 GREAT LENGTH
Army Chaplain Will Present Report On His Ex- tensive Investigations to the Vatican Before He Returns to the Islands

Washington-Secretary Root and Rev. Edward J. Vatman, chaplain of the Twenty ninth infanry, had an i'm portant conference Friday concerning the affairs in the Philippines. While both parties to the conference were reticent as to details, it is known that it related to the friar question and to the attitude of the Catholic church toward the "Americanizing of the islands,"
 Chaplain Vattmann has been granted, by the war department, a leave of absence for six months, with permission to visit Europe. Before his return to the Philippines he will confer with the authorities of. the Catholic church at Rome.
 More than year ago, with the knowledge and consent of this govern ment, Chaplain Vattmann, was di- rected by the authorities of the Cath ollie church in the United States to make thorough investigation of church conditions in the Philippines and report the result of his findings and his conclusions to the Catholic heirachy. The report was submitted to the archbishops at their annual meeting Friday. As indicated, the Philippine question was dis cussed fully by the archbishops practically to the exclusion of other matters.
 The report of Chaplain Vattmann was not made public and may not be for some time. It is known however that it covers exhaustively all phases of Catholic church questions in the Philippines the friar question and the result of what is popularly known as the "Aglipay movement.
 Aglipay is an insurgent priest who practically has renounced the author ity of Rome and has organized what he terms the "Philippine Catholic church. '" He has gained large and in some places influential following among the Filipinos. Chaplain Watt mann reports that while he does not incite open rebellion. Aglipay and his followers are not only opposing the authority of the Roman church in the islands, but also are opposing the establishment of American rule.
 It was with the knowledge that Chapain Vattmann expected to bring the result of this investigation to the attention of the Vatican that Secretary Root granted him an extended leave of absence.

INDIANS ON WAR PATH
PAPAGOES PREPARING FOR AN
 UPRISING
Apparently They Intend 10 Invade Sonora and Slaughter Msxicans-M Much Drinking of Mes cal and Dancing

Phoenix, Ariz.-Advices state that the Papago chiefs have sent out nm ners in all directions to assemble fighting bucks at Ranchita Barraijto, preparatory to an uprising. Indians are holding their second recent pow pow and are feasting on stolen cattle and drinking mescal, fiery Mexican tanglefoot Their apparent intention is to invade Sonora, Mex, and slaughter Mexicans against whom they have real or fancied grievances.
 The trouble grew out of system of wholesale smuggling which has been conducted quietly for some time. Recently large quantities of mecasl were smuggled over the international line by Mexican outlaws, and white renegades and sold to the Indians at fabulous prices. The reds had big drunken brawl near the Gunsite mine, ending in dance of fierce pantomime and much war talk. The smugglers stole cattle, which they drove over the line to exchange for liquor.
 Five rangers, commanded by Lieu tenant Jack Foster, have reached the bad lands and are reconnoitering. Achievements will arrive unless the excitement subsidies immediately. Cattlemen reported to the government here that the re lskins have been unus- ually active aLd pernicious in cattle rustling lately, and they petitioned for greater protection. United States Marshal McCord has arranged to press posse into the service for the government, should they be required
 c. H. Utting, deputy United States marshal, who was thought to be slain by the Indians, reached Phoenix with one Indian prisoner. Accompanied by three Mexicans, he went to Ranchito Barrajito more than week ago to arrest band of smugglers. The ren- egades were surprised and pitched battle in the dark ensued, in which two redskins were slain, and one was captured. Utting later was separated from his party and has had series of thrilling experiences for four days, lodging redskins over distance of ninety miles to the borders of civili- Zation.

sense in condemning the members of
those workingmen's societies who are
opposing President Roosevelt for his
action in the Miller case The knights
executive board, at it's meeting just
| held at Washington. adopted a series
of resolutions, in which it declared
that "the president is the best friend
organized labor ever had in the White
house." The resolutions also say that
''the present move is political one in
the interest of prominent republicans
who control few labor organizations
with a desire to attempt the defeat of
President Roosevelt"
Reports have been current in the
past few days that Wall street is be-
hind the few labor magnates who are
opposing the president for saying. in
the Miller case, that the statutes of the
United States must be paramount to
the laws of any labor or any other sort
of associa ton. This is the "open shop
issue which some of the labor leaders
have been trying to inject into poll
tics. 1t would please the trust mag
mates of Wall street to see the pfesi-
dent defeated in the national conven-
ton. They are working for that end
with all the resources at their COM
mand, knowing that if he is nominated
he will certainly be elected, and that
his campaign against the trusts in the
next four years will be harder than it
has been thus far until he brings them
under the control of the law.
This league between the trust bosses
and a few labor leaders is the sort of
an alliance which will quickly be
knocked out when the people get
chance at it. The vast majority of
the members of the labor societies
know that the words of the Knights of
Labor in praise of the president are
true. President Roosevelt 'is the best
friend organized labor ever had in the
White house." His work in aid of Ia
Dor, organized and unorganized, in end
ing the coal strike last fall on terms

achievement in aid of labor and of the
people in general. Wall street may
think it can work effectively through
the junta of labor bosses which it has
won over to it's s. de, but it will be mis-
taken. The crusade which it has
started against Roosevelt will bring
out the connection which the repub-
lican party has had in advancing all
sorts of labor. and give Roosevelt and
the party a largely increased majority
in 1904.

THE BIG GRAIN CROP

Earlier estimates on the grain crop
of this section are verified by the COM
panies now that the hauling has begun
and the grain is piling up at the COM
pany warehouses. The estimate made
when. the sacks were distributed was
that the crop would total 100000
bushels. 1t now seems evident that it
will be nearer 100000 bushels. Wheat
is selling now at so to IS cents per
bushel and more than two thirds of
the crop is wheat. Barley is quoted at
Sta cents and oats at so cents epr
bushel and fax at 67k cents per
bushel. With this crop and these
prices the farmers will receive about
$2,50O,0OO for their grain crop this sea-
son. The great grain territory tribu-
tary to Lewiston is land flowing with
milk and honey this season.

1t is very gratifying to note that the
government chief of engineers in his
annual recommendation to congress has
provided for the ship canal at The
Dalles as a continuing appropriation
allowing $500, 900 for mex, years work.
This official recognition of the ship
canal project places it upon the basis
of Continuing contract and future
appropriations will not have to depend
upon the fate of river and harbor bill.
1t means that The Dalles ship canal
has received official recognition and is
TO be made one of the permanent i'm
provements in the northwest. The
question of an open river to the sea
is now much nearer solution than ever
before
In connection with The Dalles pro-
ject the recommendation also carries

channel of the Snake river between Ri

CAN CORN BE GROWN 4EREa

corn, and the question is often asked
"Can corn be grown here with profit

be grown Is well established by the

the question of profit is obtained from
the experience of the farmers who have
been experimenting with this crop. The
net result of this experience is that
corn can be grown here with profit

However. his majesty declared that he
did not wish the dentist to lose his

should be extracted from each of his
