Climbing Mountains

Is a fascinating and invigorating past
time. 1t develops not the body only.
but the mind. The Alpine Peaks OF
Switzerland have their counterpart in
Dull W country, in the Sierras, the
Cascades, and parts of the Rockies.
The greatest glacial peak of the
United States is Mt. Rainier, in Wash.
lngton, more than 1880 feet high.
This magnificent mountain has Is or
o giant glaciers creeping down it's
sides and d~ischa:ging their glacial
detritus into the Columbia river or
Puget sound.
A climb to the summit of this neak
is a mountaineering feat worthy OF
any mountaineer. For % cents A.. M.
Cleland, general passenger agent OF
the Northern Pacific railway, st. Paul,
M1nn.-will send to any address an il.
Illustrated booklet called climbing
Mt. Rainer," describing a climb over
the glaciers to the top of the noun.

ASSUMED FALSE CREDIT.
From Wednesdays Daily.

10 the people of Billings last night
Governor loole told now much he has
done in the direction OF good govern
ment 1or n state and how much they
are indebted to him for the fact that
at last they are promised an oppor-
tun1ty TO vote for a constitutional
amendment establishing the initiative
n referendum. Modestly he
claimed all the credit for this and
solemnly he stated that only to the
democratic party and himself con-
tinued in the gubernatorial chair
need they look for institution OF this
great reform measure, assuming to
say that only by such a combination
will it be possible. He had nothing
to say, though, concerning his own in
action during the terms of the legis-
lature when he han an overwhelming
majority of his own party behind
him IN when it vas but reasonable
to suppose, than anything he advised
in h way of legislation calculated
to make for the public veal would
be heartily endorsed and promptly
passed.
Free with his pledges for the flu
ture, he sought to gloss over his fail
ure to act in the past and undertook
to convince those that heard him that
in democracy and Governor Toole
alone lay the salvation of the com
monwealth. Had he been honest and
candid he would have given the re-
publican party credit for being the
first to give official declaration in
favor of the initiative and referen-
dunn. No one knows better than he
that it was a republican house OF
two years ago that accepted his rec
concentration and passed a bill for
submitting a constitutional amend
ment, and no one knows better than |
that a democratic senate defeated
the bill. The fact that he made the
recommendation in the hope and be-
lief that it would be ignored by that
same house does not alter the situa-
ton, neither does it change the rec
ord, which is clear and emphatic.
Another matter the governor main
tanned silence on was that the demo-
cratic party was actually forced into
adopting the much Wanted plank
that he lauded so greatly. Not until
the republican state convention
had pledged the party and had adopt
ed a plank in it's platform endorsing
principle of direct legislation
did the democrats make a like dec
laration. Unfortunately for the gov
and his party their past record
IS against them and all their efforts
to confuse and befuddle the people
bv false pretenses and untruthful
claims will avail them nothing. The
history of the initiative and referen-
in Montana has been published
80 often and told so often that the
are familiar with it. and any
to mislead and deceive the
people will remain f~rpitless.

Reinforcements for Japanese at Muk-
den Makes Problem Hard.

Mukden, Nov. 1.-The japanese
army is rapidly being reinforced and
it is expected that the new troops
will shortly reach from 10000 to co.
600. This greatly complexities the
problem confronting the Russian COM
mander. The whole energies OF the
Russians must be devoted to holding
their positions unless they can bring
up large reinforcements speedily.
Even in that case the situation
promises to become increasingly diff
ficult. The Japanese Notifications al
ready are far too strong, supported
as they are by seige guns and rapid
fire pieces, to be carried by a frontal
assault.
Possibly these Notifications might
yield to a turning movement, which
would force the Japs to retire, but
this would require a great superiority
in numbers, for the Russians must
hold their center with a force at least
equal to that of the Japanese in order
to prevent the latter from cutting
through and %severing the communica-
tons of the former.

A FUTILE ISSUE.

Omaha Bee: 1he democratic effort
to create popular alarm over the is
sue of so-called Imperialism has ut
terly failed and no question before
the country commands less popular
interest. The very great majority OF
the people have simply refused to be-
lieve that there is any danger to our
institutions in the possession of the
Philippines and they decline to ac-
cept the democratic view in regard
to dealing with the archipelago. They
are not in favor of a policy of aban-
donment respecting the islands,
which they rightly feel would be dis
honorable to us as a nation.
The ~professed fear of the demo-
cratic candidate and the party mana
gers that a retention of the Philip
pines may in some way lead to a usur-
patton of executive authority and an
attempt to aggrandize personal
power is regarded by most thoughtful
people as a purely imaginary danger.
Nobody whose mind is not under the
control of a strong prejudice thinks
that Theodore Roosevelt has any dis
position to usurp power or take any
action not clearly warranted by the
constitution and laws. There is moth
ing in his record that gives the least
color of justincation to the demo-
cratic assumption. He has done moth
ing whatever to warrant the charge
OF "imperialistic" tendency, having
simply pursued the policy, so far as
the insular possessions are concerned,
of his predecessor. The conduct of
our foreign relations during the last
three years has been eminently wise
and judicious, so that today no one
stands higher in the public opinion
of the world as a conservator of inter-
national peace and good will than
President Roosevelt.
The people are fully ware OF this.
Hence the futility of the issue OF i'm
perialism. OF course there are some
who seriously believe that the imagi-
nary danger they have conceived is
real, but the number of such is not
very great. Four years ago the dem
ocratic party made imperialism the
paramount question and the popular
verdict was overwhelmingly against
them. The issue has certainly not
gained in strength since and all signs
indicate that it will again be most
decisively repudiated.

Know Ships Have Sailed.

London, Nov. Count Benken-
dorm, the Russian ambassador. was
received in audience by King Edward
at buckingham palace this afternoon.
1t is assumed that the ambassador
was the bearer of a message from
Emperor Nicholas.
Up to the time he saw the king
Count Benkendorff had received no
notification that a detachment of Of
f1cers from the Russian SQUADRON
at Vigo would attend the sessions OF
the international commission,
The ambassador informed the AS.
ISOLATED Press that the departure of
the squadron would naturally follow
the detachment of these officers in
accordance with the understanding
reached between himself and Foreign
Secretary ~Lansdowne last week.
Nothing definite has yet been decid-
ed on regarding the details OF the
commission. Another cabinet meet
ing has been summoned for tomor-
row to consider the Anglo-Russian
convention covering the inquiry into
the North sea incident.
The government here received a
notification from the British consul at
VigO that the Russian squadron had
sailed today, and some irritation was
felt at the fact that the Russian gov
eminent had failed to previously no.
tify the government regarding the de-
tachment of officers.
Ambassador Benkendorff is hourly
expecting official advices, and while
the foreign office obviously is an
noyed at not knowing officially that
Russia had carried out her part OF
the bargain, no serious consequences
are anticipated. It was officially
stated to the Associated Press that,
with the exception of the foregoing
to notify Great Britain, no
hitch has occurred.

PRESSING IN CLOSER ABOUT
PORT ARTHUR.

Chez Foo, Oct. 31.-A steamer
which has just arrived here from
New Chwang reports having heard
heavy firing at Port Arthur last night
and today until she was out OF ear
shot, indicating a continuance of the
battle which began October "a in a
preliminary manner and developed
yesterday into a third attempt of the
Japanese to ecu a commanding po-
sition. The result OF yesterdays
fighting it unknown.
The Japanese have been preparing
for this assault for a month. It is
believed that they did not expect to
capture the town on this occasion,
but to accomplish another important
forward step. The plan was adopted
following the first assault, when
thousands of lives were sacrificed in
an attempt to swarm over the fortiti-
cations by a mere force of numbers
regardless of loss.
This assault, like the previous, was
a climatic incident of weary weeks of
trench digging, gun mounting and
small engagements. In the opinion OF
experts the assault will cease when
the Japanese have secured such posi-
lions as will enable them to creep
steadily closer under the noses of the
Russian guns. 1t is believed that two
more general assaults will be neces-
sary before the distance between the
helliyerent lines is sufficiently short
ened to make an attempt to enter the
main forts and end the seige practi-
cable.
