SHIPPING NOTES..

The local vessels plying to Seattle
during the year 1903 carried in the
aggregate nearly 100000 passengers
in and out Of that port.
The United Kingdom continues to
lead the world in shipbuilding, more
than half of all the tonnage put afoat
being constructed at the yards of Eng
land, Scotland or Ireland.
There are twenty American steam
ships of four lines sailing to the Pa
cifc from Atlantic seaports, and in adj
dition there are American sailing ships
of, a gross tonnage of $4,000 capable
| of making the voyage to the far east.
In view Of the fact that the year
| 1903 was one of the most disastrous
that shipowners have ever experience
ed it is somewhat surprising to learn
by the official returns that the amount
of tonnage put afoat last year was
practically the same as in 1902.

THE CLARK PRESS.

Missoulian: 1t has a funny side
to it. Clark's papers are wroth be-
cause republican state papers have
spoken disrespectfully of the senator.
Had it not been for the asininity OF the
Clark press there would have been
no similar display by the republican
press. w. A. Clark has a private
secretary whom he pays a salary OF
ten thousand dollars a year.. He may
earn every cent OF it. Who Knows?
When measures Of Importance to
Montana came up in congress, this
fellow-perhaps following instruc-
tions-telegraphed Clark's papers that
the senator was responsible for ev-
erything and the foolish fellows in
charge allowed such stuff to pass.
Naturally, this was offensive. There
has not been, and is not now, any
disposition of the republican press OF
Montana to take Senator Clark
any honor that belongs to him, but
when his newspapers gravely assert
that he is the whole thing; that if it
had not been for him, etc., there is
a protest against such sycophancy.
The people of Montana know that
Senator Clark is sick unto death;
that he is absent from the senate
| chamber against his will; that though
he may be loyal to every interest OF
the state he is in no condition to adj
vance her interests, yet these fool
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of the spirit
of the devil-persist in giving the
senator credit for something he would
be the last man in the world to claim
credit for, unless he deserved it. All
who know Senator Clark know that he
desires no honor he hasn't earned.
Having provoked criticism and de
served censure, the Clark press il

has been ridiculous and has provoked
to anger, which perhaps should no

URGES RIGHTEOUS CAUSE.

In last Tuesdays Gazette vas print
ed a summary of the address deliver
ed by the Honorable George H. Max
we'll. chairman of the executive com.
mittee of the National Irrigation as
sociation, and it was with a great
deal of satisfaction this vas done.
The views advanced by the distin-
guished speaker and the reforms he
advocated are all such to which every
one really and truly interested in the
future prosperity and growth OF the
state can subscribe without %reserva-
ton. Only those who are profiting by
them in a manner never intended by
the trainers are in favor of permit
ting the desert land act, the stone
and timber law and communication
clause of the homestead act to remain
as they now stand ON the statutes
of the nation. Of course, they are
actuated by selfish and mercenary
motives, without regard to the inter
ests and welfare of the people. The
laws afford an easy and cheap meth
cd of enabling them to become the
possessors of immense areas OF valua-
BILE land that should be held and pre-
served for the homebuilder, the man
who makes possible the existence OF
happy homes and %hourishing commun-
tiles. Because he interferes with the
desires and ambitions of those who
prefer a recurrence tt the old feuda]
system of retainer and tenantry they
do not want the settler, the one con
tent with a holding sufficient to enable
him to earn an honest livelihood. Blu
the laws are bound to be changed. il
not at MS session VI ~ C1C1
maybe at the next. The people al
over the nation have become aroused
and are keen to the danger that viii
exist until there is a change in thu
land laws. The few who up to thi!
time have been able to block the pre-
gress of a reform as urgent as it i
wholesome will not always prevail
Congress will be forced to give hee
to the demands of the people, rattle
than to continue to act at the behes
of a few WIDELY selfish and greed
ones, who seem to think that the Ian

KURoPATkIN's WHITE HORSE
Excitement Caused by the Russian
Generals Purchase.

Generals Purchase.
The st. Petersburg Vicdomosti gives
an interesting explanation Of the rea-
son why the white horse bought by
General Alexei N. Kuropatkin for 600
rubles has caused so much excitement.
Ever since Kuropatkin was appointed
commander in chief of the land forces,
says the London News, in the far east
the Russians have been comparing him
to Skobelef, whose white horse was
| always regarded by the Russian SOL
diers as a pledge of victory.
The white horse superstition Of Sko-
belief had the following origin: The
general, when visiting a friend near
st. Petersburg, was taken with the
idea Of visiting a village close by
where he had taken a trigonometrical
survey shortly after receiving his COM
mission. His friend attempted to dis
suade him, declaring that the country
round was nothing but a vast bog,
where he would probably be lost in
the darkness.
Skobeleff, however, persisted in set
ting out, borrowing his hosts white
horse for the journey. Before he had
gone far he lost his way. wandered
into a dangerous marsh and, finding
the road undiscoverable, determined to
take his chance. He dropped the
reins, spurred his horse and, trusting
to Providence, luckily rode on to dry
land.
The viedomosti prays that Kuropat-
kin's white horse may similarly enable
him to lead Russia out of the Serbo-
MAN bog of Manchuria.
