The Russians Emaciated.

Headquarters of the Third Japan

aged in transmits ion) --Spies ard
Russians who have surrendered re-
port that rations in the fortress nave
been reduced The wounded 1ound
by the Japanese are emaciated.
Russiana artillery shells partly filled
with wood and which do not eX-
plode. have been found. This shows
that the Russians are short of mate
ra! fol making heavy ammunition.
The capture of the eastern fortified
ridge will mean the surrender Of the
fortress in a couple of weeks, unless
the garrison there retires to the iso-
lated forts. This seems improbable,
however, and cold weather and the
lack Of food and ammunition renders
desperate resistance unlikely.

IT PROPOSES WAR

The Seattle Post-Inteligeneer pro poses to meet the Canadian order, for bidding American ships from carrying Canadian goods from Vancouver or Vic toria to St. Michael, with retaliation and commercial war. That is natural. It is in keeping with the commercial policy advocated by those who conduct the editorial columns of the POst-Intel- Hgeneer.
 The Seattle papers policy is that which the United States inaugurated against Canada nearly two score years ago for the purpose of forcing that country to cry for annexation to the American Union. That it has been an ignominious failure as measure for political union in North America is no less true than is the fact that it has been a commerce destroyer, delaying the development of Canada and depriv- ing Americans of a prosperous market,
 The coastwise laws of Canada are the same as those of the United States. They were made, as was the Canadian tariff, as a means of self-deiense in the commercial warfare waged against them by the United States.
 The commercial laws of Canada, like those of the United States, restrict trade and, as a consequence, restrict the activities of the people and the de- velopmeut of both countries.
 Instead of proposing that we go to Canada with request in one hand and a club ia the other, the POst-Intelli- gencer, and all others interested in the development of the northwest, should urge that we meet that country, pre- pared to make concessions for conces- sions asked. Commercial warfare should be superseded by commercial reciprocity.

injured that he was not expected to live.

Custer, was called, and ordering a car
riage left for the scene Immediately. By
~interogating the doctor after his return,
we were glad TO learn that the case was
not as bad as had been reported, al
though bad enough. The injury was
mostly done TO Toms eyes, and his hand.
The DIR. thinks that he can save two fin
gers of the hand, and although he
thought Tom would be blind for a week
or two he believed that he would be able
to save his eyes. Tom has many friends
among the old timers all over the Hills
who will be sorry to hear ofthe accident
which has befallen him, and will wish
him q rapid recovery from his wounds.
