We Need All We Have and CouId
Probably Increase the Number.
The Democratic and "Anti-Imperial-
istic" opponents Of Republican national
control say we do not need tropical pos
sessions. Such, for instance, as the
Philippines, Porto Rico and Hawaii. In
saying this they overlook the fact that
our imports of tropical and sub-tropical
products in the fiscal year ended June
30, 1904, amounted to the enormous sum
of $430,556, 775-nearly $1,5O0,000 for
each working day Of the year.
The great growth in these imports in
a single generation is shown by the fol-
lowing record, using figures compiled by
the chief Of the Bureau of Statistics Of
the Department of Commerce and Labor:

thirty-four years, emphasizes our need

the Japanese have landed at two points
in the vicinity Of Port Arthur. Petszwo

Port Adams is on a narrow inlet on the
west coast OF the peninsula, while
Petszwo is on the east coast. Each

ed or wounded.

CHARLESTON. May 6.--F. s. Ander-
son of the firm of Anderson and Grip
pen. received word last night that his

pany, left for the mines yesterday.
An important business change in
Charleston was closed last evening
whereby l.. A. Woodward disposed OF
the Charleston Republican. Mr.. W. E.
Willis of Spokane being the purchaser.
The republican was established by
Mr.. Woodward little over three years
ago, and has done a great deal in help
ing to build up Charleston and Vine
land. Mr.. Willis is an experienced
newspaper man. having been in the
business for a number of years at
Redlands, California. and will un-
doubtedly make the Republican, which
rs already prosperous paper one or
the best in the state. The retiring pub
Usher will remain in Charleston, de-
voting his time to looking after his
property here and his mining interests
in Idaho.
Colonel c. T. Cowan left this morn
ing for Buffalo. N. Y. as a delegate

vote for governor in 1902-One dele
gate for each fifteen democratic votes.
The above is the detail proceedings
or the meeting of the decorate county
central committee which convened in
5. l.. McFarland's Office at 10 o'clock
this morning. According to the story
there wasn't much doing. everything
seemed to go along harmoniously. The
dates for the primaries have been set
but there is no telling who will be the
delegates that will make the long pull
for recognition in the convention. The
present prospects are that one ticket
will be named for delegates to the con-
ventions, but two sets OF delegates will
be elected one for each convention. On
the tickets to be named or voted on will
likely be Parker Hearst, Dubois, Heit-
Mormon and anti-Morman men but
whether the certain factions viii be
satisfied with their representation is a
question that will likely come out on
the day Of the first primaries. There
is undoubtedly a feeling among the
Steunenberg supporters that they are
it and are entitled to the ma ajority Of
the delegates but of course there are
others who expect to have a finger in
the pie.
From the latest information that has
reached the public it is practically as
sured that Steunenberg is out for the
nomination for governor and he will
make grand effort to capture the
state organization through the primar
les first and in the conventions later
The recent news that his own county
Canyon, declared in favor of the Nor
mon fight supporting Dubois. Is only
the first repulse that has been hurled
into his camp.
