The Court Appoints.

Judge Brown has decided the cele- brated Dryden vs. Sewell case at Haines, in favor of Dryden. The court held that Sewen and Dryden are part ners and that an accounting as such, must be made. c. E. Hooker was ap- pointed receiver of the property. In the order, the receiver is directed to continue the business until it can be disposed of to advantage.
 The inventory showed stock on hand to the value of S1905, and it is figured by the receiver that the liabilities, court costs and receivers expenses will equal or exceed that sum.
 Judge I. N. Wilcoxen represented J.. Nj. Dryden, and R. W. Jennings, T. R. Sewell
 It is said that Mir. Sewen will resume business in bis own name at Haines as soon as bis matters with Mir. Dryden shall have been closed up.-Alaskan.
 A Vancouver dispatch of March 3, re- ferring to the meeting of the Alaska Steamship Association, says: Freight rates from Vancouver and Puget sound to Dawson and other Yukon points are to suffer reductions in certain quanti- ties and no advances whatever are to be made. It has been decided by the association that the White Pass & Yu- kon be supported in it's scheme to quote certain especially reduced rates on commodities during the dull season of traffic in the early summer. The White Pass desires to give these rates, opera tive during restricted period of time, for the purpose of starting an early movement of freight into Dawson and Atlin. The rates will be so much lower than the ordinary commodity tariff quotations that merchants in the North will be able to save money by import ing early. One good thing, both for merchants and transportation compan- ies that will result, if this scheme is successful, is the distribution of more freight transportation in the dull sea- son of navigation on the Yukon. No blockades of freight will then occur at Whitehorse late in the year.
 J.D. Meenach, of Seattle, and the Ellamar Mining Company, of Alaska, are joined as defendants in suit be- gun by A. w. Hastie, as administrator of the estate of the late M. O. Glad hough, to recover an interest in the copper properties of the deceased near I.1 nl,n inf fho dA-

dent Roosevelt, passed the national ir-
rigation act Secretary Hitchcock has
now made public a scheme for putting
that act in extensive operation. In all.
something over s27.ooo.ooo is to be ex-
pended for the projects now formulated.
Thesewil cover work in Colorado,
North Dakota. Montana, Wyoming.
Oregon. Utah, Idaho. Nevada. Califor-
mia, Arizona and New Mexico. There
are comprised in the work which has
been allotted about 900 900 acres. 1t
is figured that this represents a tract
that will be capable of supporting at
least 500, 900 persons.
When the republican congress of 1862
passed and the republican president
signed the homestead law they started
an immigra ton to the west which has
added as many people to the region on
forty years as were in the thirteen
states at the time of the inauguration
Of Washington as president. But the
eligible land was exhausted. or nearly
so. a few years ago. and then the re-
publicans came to the front with an
other act for the peopling of the west
This is the national irrigation law,
which has not yet been quite two years
on the statute book.
Lincolns free homes law Of 1862 is
being supplemented by Roosevelt's ir-
rigation act Of 1902. Vast areas Of land
incapable of supporting anybody except
through irrigation, private or public,
will be made fit for the homes OF
great. intelligent and progressive popu-
lation. Tens of thousands Of farmers
emigrated from the United States to
Canada in the past two or three years
on account OF the cheap and fertile
lands to be had in that locality. The
national irrigation law will divert this
stream Of Americans to the present
arid regions of their own country.
When the land reclama ton system now
about to be inaugurated gets fairly to
work, lands better than can be had in
Canada, and in a more congenial cli-
mate, can be had west OF the Tooth
meridian in the United States. The ir-
rigation law Of 1902 will begin at once
dentally. too, it will have important
political consequences in the election OF
1904. This land reclamation law il one

An 0psn River"
(Walla Walla Union.)

The movement o secure an open
river STATED by. the Dalles conven-
ton this week should be encouraged
The fact that the government has de.
termined to build canal to aid In this
matter Ia no reason for non-action on
the part Of citizens Of the states Of
Oregon. Warrington and Idaho, all Of
whom are deeply interested In securing
speedy action on the portage road an
it may be several years before the gov
eminent will get around to build the
canal. In fact it Is we'll known that
the general government Is slow In mat
tiers Of this kind and with the objec-
tions which will be made against the
"open river" project the matter might
be delayed for a much longer time than
is necessary. The truth of the matter
is that the fear that this will be the
guments that can be brought to bear In
behalf Of the portage road. The port
age road. with the assistance the state
of Oregon has already given, can be
built and in operation in very short
time, and when the government COM
pletes the canal it can be dispensed
with Even If it should be operated
only a year or two it would save the
people of eastern Oregon, Washington
and Idaho sufficient in freight rates tC
more than repay the outlay of funds
which the enterprise will require. Il
is possible many people do not fully
realize the good which will come from
having the portage road and it Is &
) matter Of such deep concern and fal
reaching benefit that a greater interes
should be awakened. The open rivel
association" should be given every en-
couragement possible.

to have them thrown away. The sales

and placed them in drawer.

THE WAR so FAR

1t is clear beyond a question that the
directing minds Of Japan knew from
the outset precisely what they were
about, and that their aim has been
nothing less than the outright ami
hilation of the Russian forces in Man
churia, or the summary election of
them from that field. Nothing has been
left to chance. For a decade the Japa-
nese authorities have concentrated all
their energies for this business when
the fullness Of time arrived to attend
to 1t.
The main features of their strategy
up-to- date are now apparent. although
% profound is the secrecy maintained
by the Japanese. their future movement
can no more be inferred than could
those now accomplished while they
were in process Of exception. At the
