NEW YEAR MESSAGE.
Details of the United States Naval
ObservatOry,s Scheme.

The United States naval observatory
at Washington recently announced the
details of its scheme to send telegraph
to mark the beginning of the new year.
The signals were sent out last year for
each Of the four great standard time
belts Of the United States. but this
year it is proposed not only to secure a
wide distribution of these new year
signals throughout North and South
America by the cooperation of he
telegraph and cable companies, but also
to send one or more Of the four series
Of signals around the world and back
to the room of the naval observatory
where they started.
The signals will begin at 11:55 p. m.
and end at midnight, eastern time. The
later, ending at midnight, central stand
ard time; again an hour later. ending
at 2 a. M. for midnight Of mountain
standard time, and again an hour after
that, ending at 3 a. M. for midnight
Of Pacific coast standard time. In each
Of these four five-minute intervals the
clock will send an electric impulse prac-
tically every second. On the world
circuit the signals will go by land lines
to Cape Canso, Nova Scotia; thence by
cable to the Azores, Lisbon, Gibraltar,
Malta. Alexandria and Port Said; by
land to Suez; by cable to Alden and
Bombay; by land to Madras; BY cable
to Penang. Singapore, Saigon. Hong

1t is only natural that the trade be-
tween Canada and the United States
should be extensive. We cultivate sim
liar soil. we draw riches from the same
great lakes and rivers, we delve into
the sa me mountain ranges for our min
erals, we are very much alike In Gus
toms and habits, we have the same
system of weights, measures and mon
ey and we have similar methods Of
keeping accounts and of ~transacting
business. Hence u nearness to each
other must ever induce extensive trade.

Kong, Manila, Uuan, Midway. Honolu-
lu and San Francisco. and by land back
to Washington.
1t is proposed to receive both the
outgoing and incoming signals on the
same, chronograph at the naval OBJ
servatory and thus preserve a perma-
nent graphic record of both on a single
sheet Of paper. 1t is suggested that, be-
sides demonstrating the possibilities Of
practical astronomy and biography
working together through international
cooperation, benefits will result from
the general attention that it will direct
to the advantages Of the use Of ac-
curate standard time throughout the
world. The messages will also carry a
New Years greeting to the world.

dendum known as the supreme court
commission, for with closer attention
to business and a little more work

Colonel Sanders designated as the
"buffer between the lawyers and the

THEY ARE NOT WEAKLINGs.

Appreciative of the sympathy which
they know is theirs and thanking
those of the other communities of the
state for their tenders of aid and as
sistance, the heroic people of Havre
are demonstrating the material of
which they are made by bravely fac
ing the calamity that has overtaken
them and energetically going to work
to rebuild the city that has been de-
stroyed. The men who made the first
Havre were not exhausted by the eff
fort, and the vitality they displayed
in building a town in the wilderness
and by sheer pluck and enterprise
making it one of the important cities
of the state was not Slapped thereby.
They were cast in a different mould
and as they succeeded in the first
instance, even so will they succeed
now, that the incentive is greater be-
cause of the certainty of the reward
they know will be theirs. What at
first was an experiment may now be
regarded by them as an accomplish.
ment, an actuality. From the ashes
of the log cabin and frame shack
will arise stately edifices of brick
and stone and the primitive structure
of the pioneer will be supplanted by
the modern dwelling and business
block.
Havre's future is assured and the
loyalty, vim, push and courage Of
it's people may be depended upon to
make it larger, better and more pros
porous than ever Reverses and mis-
fortune will not discourage, though
they may Cypress them temporarily
and they will prove themselves equal
to the burdensome task by which
they now find themselves confronted.

senator Patterson as Washington

Senator Patterson IS Washington
and Tom Patterson at home are two
entirely different individuals. AS a
senator Mr.. Patterson raises a mourn
full voice and sheds hypocritical tears
over the sad condition OF the working
man and demands government inves-
tigation into strikes in Colorado, but
as the employers of coal miners and
printers in that same state he has
ever been known as the enemy of ev-
erything in the form of organized
labor. His fight on the union coal
miners of Jefferson county and his
opposition to the printers union in
his Denver newspaper office are mat
tiers known to almost every union
employe west OF the Missouri.

THE COURT.

THE SUPREME COURT.
Severe as was his criticism and
caustic the language in which it was
framed, there are undoubtedly many
people in the state who are willing
to subscribe in part at least to what
Colonel Sanders said concerning the
supreme court at the recent meeting
Of the State Bar association. OF the
technicalities that hedge all proceed
ings before that body and of which
he complained, he, perhaps, is a far
better Judge than the ordinary lay
man. The latter is inclined at all
times to have a contempt for techni-
calities, due, undoubtedly, to his lack
of knowledge on the subject and his
ignorance of the necessity for certain
procedures and rules for the orderly
OuuuC VI UuSlA0So UlOu6AL ~ CAO
attention of judicial bodies. But,
when, as the colonel complains, tech
nicalities are multiplied and regard
ed with so much reverence and are
given consideration so great as to
take precedence over the law and JUS
tice themselves, then there is just
faction and unrest which occasionally
o to the surface cannot be said to
be only the results of ignorance. Laws
are created for the government of Sc
ciety and courts r established for
the enforcement of those laws, but
instead of combining themselves to the
simple duty of administering justice,
courts only too often deviate from
the path laid down for their guidance
and permit themselves to be guided
by hair-splitting bubbles, and tech.
nicalities, rather than what is just
and the law, decide important issues.
The supreme court of Montana is
only human, being composed of men,
just the same kind of mortal, ordinary
men as those who practice before it
and those whose grievances it is call.
ed upon to right. Hence it cannot
lay claim to infallibility and must
expect to be criticised for it's acts,
the same as any other public body.
Whether the criticism made before
the bar association was merited in ev.
cry respect it is not undertaken to
say, but grounds for criticism exist.
The arbitrary rules governing the con
duct of the court is one of the grounds,

Plan of Short Course.

The indications are that the short
course in horticulture, which opens
in the Washington Agricultural
College next Monday, January 10,
for term of four weeks, will be at
tended by fruitgrowers, nurserymen
and farmers from all parts of the
northwest. The series of lectures,
experiments and illustrative work
selected for this course is such that
the college faculty and experiment
station staff declare no man interest
ed in fruit growing can afford to
miss it. Owing to the prevalence
of numerous insect pests and dis
eases of fruit trees in certain por-
tons of the northwest, all the infor-
nation obtainable on the best meth
DDS of preventing or curing these
diseases and pests will be given out
at this course.
The session will be under the gen
eral charge of President Bryan and
under theimmediate charge of Prof.
n. 0. Booth, professor of horticul-
ture, who will be assisted by all
members of the faculty and expert
ment stations whose lines of work
have anything to do with horticul-
ture. In addition there will be adj
dresses by we'll known fruitgrowers
from varioue sections, including
General 7. R. Tannatt, of Farm
lngton, c. A. Tonnesson, of Taco
ma, F. Walden, of Zillah, J. L. Du-
mas, of Pullman, and others.

The Trees of the Northwest.

Pacific Monthly: The timbered
area of Washington and Oregon is
equal to the whole of New England
and two thirds of New York. I'm
agine the six states Of New Eng
land and the greater part of New
York covered with an unbroken
forest, and you will have some idea
of the immensely of the forest of
the northwest.
The trees of this section will cut
good merchantable timber of 45O,-
900, 100000 feet. In Oregon alone,
according TO the estimates of gov
eminent forest experts, we have
335, 100000, 600 feet. What does
this mean? Stop a moment and
think about it. Cut into boards
one inch thick, this Oregon timber
will cover walk half mile wide
entirely around the earth at the
equator; the same boards would
make us driveway to the moon
$50 feet wide (not allowing for the
supporting timbers) Or we have
sufficient timber for board fifteen
inches wide to bridge the gulf be.
tween us and the planet Mars, 49,
100000 miles away
And the money value of it all?
Well, $40 per 1000 feet for the fin
ished lumber is a conservate esti-
mate. At this price the value of
Oregon lumber is $4,O2O,O00,OOO |
This is almost twice the total
amount Of money-gold and silver
coins and bank notes-in the Unit
ed States on January 1st, 1902.

Will Build lewiston iparia Line

1t is now definitely announced
that the o. r. & N. will build that
Riparia Lewiston extension along
the Snake river, which was begun
In 1898. This was said to be the
outcome of a bitter war between the
o. r. & N. and the Northern Pa
cifc, but now the extension will be
operated by both roads.
w. H. Stewart, founder of Texas
City, on the north Cor Whitman
county, side of the river, opposite
Riparia, says the contract for grad
ing yet to be done has been let to
Decks & Decks, of Portland, and
that the contractors are at Texas
City gathering supplies and prepar-
ing to inaugurate the grade-work at
once.
Men said to represent the con-
tractors are riding through Whit
man county buying heavy draught-
horses for work upon the road bed,
and a number of these were taken
through Colfax to the river today.

Two Nights of Comic Opera

Comic opera is certainly king of
theatrical entertainment or else all
the dramatic critics and amusement
seekers throughout the country are
at fault. Certain it is that all of
New Works late successes are of
the musical variety and all the road
attractions which, SO to speak, are
getting the money are Of the music
al variety. All the managers thro'-
out the country are clamoring for
musical attractions. Why? Be
cause the theatre patrons demand
them - demand them because there
is an up-to-dateness about them
concord of sweet sounds and clean
comedy that is particularly suit
ed to the time and taste. In view
OF the above, we can say that it is
truly most pleasant announcement
that the Olympia Opera Company
will play two-nights' engagement
at the Auditorium here January
IS and 20.

Marie Wainwright in Twelfth
Night"

When she comes to this city,
which will be Jan. Goth, to play
Viola, in Twelfth Night" Miss
Marie Wainwright, famous the
world over for her histrionic versa
tility, will show how playfully the
great Shakespeare could turn a
charming woman into a captivating
youth and mix her up so badly with
herself that she even forgets which
she is. Exceptional skill is de-
manded of the actress who carries
Viola through her dual character.
Miss Wainwright has done it over
"a thousand times with delicacy
of touch which makes her perform
ance one of the most delightful OF
stage creations.

knights Were Hosts.

Evening Star lodge, Knights OF
Pythias, entertained its friends last
Monday, and the act was done with
an ease and liberality that won new
supporters to the order that has
loyalty and friendship for its foun-
dalton.
A session of the lodge was held
in the lodge rooms during the after
noon. when Vernon Charleston was
given a vigorous ride on the Pyth-
ian goat, the goats aversion to
being ridden being materially as
sisted by the squirting administered
by number of visiting Knights,
including the grand chancellor, J.
X. Stevenson, of Pomeroy.
For the social session in the ev.
ening, both the |. O. o. F. hall and
Masonic temple had been most APP
propriately decorated, the installa-
ton services being held in the form

After the new officers had been

lowing which the guests were intro
duced to the various forms of
amusement provided for their en-
tertainment. At Odd Fellows hall,
the leap year ball was the attrac-
ton, and the novelty of the affair
added greatly to its enjoyment.
The lady floor managers were active
in seeing that all the guests were
provided for, and every number on
the program saw the floor crowded
with dancers.
AT Masonic hall various social
games were provided, and in the
dining rooms connected with this
hall the banquet was served.

TO SCARE THEM OFF
WITH IRON MONSTERS.

st. Petersburg, March 16.-The re-
ports of the abandonment of Port Ar
thur continue to arouse the bitterest
resentment, the papers denouncing
the story as stock jobbing scheme.
The government is building some ar
mored trains for use on the Manchu-
rian Railroad, after the model of those
used by the British in South Africa.
They will not be employed so much
on account of fear that the Japanese
may cut the road, as for their moral
effect on the Chinese robber bands,
who may become emboldened by the
war. 1t is believed that when the
bandits see the iron monsters they will
not come near the railroad.
A military expert in the Russky In
valid contends that the Japanese ac-
ton in covering their forces at Ping
Yang, Korea, and at their bases, Che
mulpo, Chinnaupo, and Seoul,
means that detachments have
moved out along the Vel-Lim-
Kang, which may be compared
to miniature Tugela river. A num-
Der of these attachments. it is added,
have crossed the Vel-Lim- Kang at
Pan-Chen, eight miles from Anju.

Orders to Leave the Country Issued
to Thirty of Them.
Berlin, March 16.-Thirty Russian
students, several of them women, have
received yesterday and to-day, from
the police, notices of expulsion, in con-
sequence of participation in a meeting
held Saturday to protest against the
government permitting Russian police
agents to watch Russian residents in
Germany.
The origin of the dispute between
the government and the students, about
500 of whom are attending the univer-
sity and technical schools, was the
Socialist accusation that the govern
rnent was permitting Russian spies to
search the rooms, examine the corre-
spondence and otherwise interfere with
the liberty of Russians living in Ger
many. III 8
Foreign Secretary Won Richthofen,
in defending the government, said the
Russians here were anarchists, and
that many of the women attending the
university or other schools were real
ly not students, but lived in state of
immortality.
Chancellor Won Buelow referred to
the students as beggars and conspira-
tors.
About 400 Russian students met or
Saturday and signed a statement re-
citing the utterances Of Secretary Won
Richthofen and Chancellor Won Bue-
low, and protesting against them. From
the 42S persons who signed the state
ment, thirty were selected for ex-

TWO MILLIONS
FOR SANITATION
THAT WOULD BE THE COST
OF PUTTING THE CANAL ZONE IN A
HEALTHFUL CONDITION.

Burr Reported Upon the Question of
sanitation Upon the Isthmus.
Water Works and Sewerage Sys-
TENS Needed for Panama and CO.
lon, and Drainage System for
the intermediate Districts-Eight
Washington, March 16.-The House
Committee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce to-day further heard Prof.
William H. Burr on the question of
sanitation of the Panama canal route.
The Isthmian Canal Commission had,
he said, regarded the subject as one of
the greatest importance. The works
of sanitation would be chiefly the con-
struction of waterworks and sewer
age system for the cities of Panama
and Colon, and the drainage of dis
tricts between those cities. He esti-
mated the cost at 100000. The COM
pletion of the canal, he said, could be
accomplished in eight or nine years.
The committee, in an executive ses-
sion, decided to call for the journal
and expense account of the late 18TH
milan Canal Commission. The commits
sion never has made a report and the
committee, in considering the matter
of granting the present canal commits
sion certain authority, deem it wise to
learn the nature of the expenditures
made by it's predecessor.
Over ono million dollars was exnend-
ed by this commission.
