and got up and stood listening. The
Bertha Millner was absolutely quiet.
The night was hot and still The new
moon, canted over like sinking gal
leon, was low over the horizon. Will
bur listened intently. for now at last
he heard something.
/ Between the schooner and the shore
a gentle sound of splashing came to
his ears and an occasional crack as of
oars in their locks. Was it possible
that boat was there between the
schooner and the land? What boat,
and manned by whom?
The creaking of oarlocks and the dip
of paddles were unmistakable.
Suddenly Wilbur raised his voice in
4 great shout:
BOAT ahoy!'
| There was no answer. The noise of
oars grew fainter Moran came run
ming out of her cabin, swinging into
her coat as she ran.
| ''What is it? What is it?'
"A boat, think, right off the schoon-
er here. Hark-there-did you hear the
oars?
you're right. Call the hands. Get
the dory over. Well follow that boat
right up. Hello, forward there! Char
file, all hands, tumble outr'
Then Wilbur and Moran caught Them
selves looking into racil ,.tter's eyes.
At once something-r..i,.;.,< tho latent
silence of the Schoone.' Ola them there
was to be no answer. IL. &c two ran for
ward. Moran swung herself into the
lfo'c'stle hatch and without using the
ladder dropped to tn" deck below. In
an instant her voice came up to the
hatch:
''The hunks are empty-they're gone
abandoned us!' She came I'D the lad
der again.
Look" said Wilbur as she regained
the deck. The dory;s gone They've
taken it. 1t was our only boat. We
can't get ashore
| "CoWardly, superstitious rats. |
should have expected this. They would
be chopped in bits before they would
stay longer on board this boat-they
and their Feng shui.''
When morning came the deserters
could be made out camped on the
shore, near to the beached dory. What
their intentions were could not be con-
jectured. Ridden with all manner of
nameless oriental superstitions, it was
evident that the Cinnamon preferred
any hazard of fortune to remaining
longer upon the schooner.
! well, can we get along without
them?' said Wilbur. "Can we two
work the schooner back to port our
Selves?"
We'll try it OH anyhow, mate,'' said
Moran. eve might get her into San
Diego anyhow
The Cinnamon had left plenty of
provision on board, and Moran cooked
breakfast. Fortunately, by o'clock
a very light westerly breeze came up.
Moran and Wilbur cast off the gaskets
and set the fore and main sails.
| Wilbur was busy at the forward
bits preparing to cast loose from the
kelp, and Moran had taken up her DO
sition at the wheel when suddenly she
exclaimed:
| 'Sail ho! And in Gods name what
kind Of a sail do you call it?''
! In fact, strange looking craft had
just made her appearance at the en-
trance of Magdalena bay.

The Panama Canal.

Active work in canal construction,
mainly preparatory, has been in prog
ress for less than year and "A half.
During that period two points about
the canal have ceased to be open to
debate. First, the question of route;
second, the question of feasibility. The
point which remains unsettled is wheth-
er the canal shall be one of several
locks above sea level or at sea level
with a SINCE tide lock On this point

early day the findings of the advisory
board Of American and European en-
gineers.
In addition TO sanitating the isthmus,
satisfactory quarters are being provid-

food at reasonable prices has been Gre
ated. Hospitals have been established
and equipped that are without superb

approaching year a sufficient proper
ton of this plant will have been in
stalled TO enable us to resume the work
OF excavation on a large scale.
What is needed now and without de-
lay is an appropriation by the congress
to meet the current and accruing ex-
penses Of the commission. The first
appropriation of $1OOOO,OOO out OF the
$13J,000,000 authorized by the Spooner
act was made three years ago. 1t is

tons Of the law.
The Revenues.
There is more need of stability than
OF the attempt To attain an ideal per-
lection In the methods OF raising rev.
enue, and the shock and strain to the
business world certain TO attend any
serious change in these methods rem
der such change inadvisable unless for
grave reason. 1t is not possible TO lay
down any general rule by which to de-
termine the moment when the reasons
for will outweigh the reasons against
such change. No change can be
made on lines beneficial to or desired
by one section or one state only. There
must be something like Il general agree
ment among the citizens of the several
states that the change is needed and
desired in the interest of the people as Il
whole, and there should then be sin
cere, intelligent and dis.2torestc3 ef-
fort TO make ii in such shape as will
combine, so far as possible, the maxi
mum of good to the people at large
with the minimum Of necessary disre-

ties or classes, but in time Of peace
the revenue must, on the average,
taking a series of years together, equal
the expenditures or else the revenues
must be increased. Last year there
was deficit. Unless our expenditures
can be kept within the revenues then
our revenue laws must be readjusted.
1t is impossible to outline what shape
such a reimbursement should take, for
it is as yet too early to say whether
there will be need for it. 1t should be
considered whether 1t is not desirable
that the tariff laws should provide for
applying as against or in favor Of any
other nation maximum and minimum
tariff rates established by the congress,
so as to secure certain reciprocity of
treatment between other nations and
ourselves.

Currency.

Every consideration of prudence de-
mands the addition Of the element Of
elasticity 10 our currency system. The
evil does not consist in an inadequate
volume of money, but i'm the rigidity
Of this volume which does not respond
as it should to the varying needs Of
communities and Of seasons. Initiation
must be avoided. but some provision
should be made that will insure
larger volume of money during the fan
and winter months than i'm the less ac-
tive seasons of the year so that the
currency will contract against specula-
ton and Will expand for the needs Of
legitimate business. At present the
treasury department is at irregularly
recurring intervals obliged i'm the inter
est OF the business world-that is. in
the interests of the American public
to try TO avert financial crises by pro
viding n remedy which should be pro-
vided by congressional action.

Economy In Expenditures.

l earnestly recommend to the con-
gress the need Of economy and. to this
end. Of a rigid scrutiny Of appropria-
tions. All unnecessary offices should
be abolished. In the public printing
also a large saving Of money can be
made. There is a constantly growing
tendency to publish masses of unim-
portant information at which no human
being ever looks
Yet, in speaking Of economy, | must
i'm nowise be understood as advocating
the false economy which is in the end
the worst extravaganza. TO cut down

as great folly.

He Wanted His Hair Dyed White.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, March IL.
Harry Bunker's mind works in a man
ner most wonderful to behold. The
discredited ex-senator from the eight
zenith district, VINO is still in Sacra-
mento, dancing attendance on the
court, when he is not being surround
ed by his bondsmen, walked into a
hair dressing establishment on X
street, between Eighth and Ninth
streets, about o'clock this evening
and inquired of the young colored
woman in attendance if he could get
his hair dyed to a white color.
Two or three women who happened
to be in the establishment at the time
turned around to and looked curious
ly at the person who wanted his hair
dyed white, and were unable to con-
tain their mirth when they found the
person was Bunkers. Bunkers was
informed that his wishes could not be
compiled with, and left the establish
ment with an expression of disgust on,
his face. Just what mis- purpose may
have been in seeking to change the
color of his closely cropped red hair
can only be conjectured. Bunkers
does not care to discuss the matter.

thoroughly believe in the work and
therefore support it. We have done
big things, are doing big things and
expect to do do bigger things for the
beautiful city of Boise. 1 hope that
the people of Walla Walla will have
faith and VIII invest we'll in the en-
terprise."
The association building at Cats
kill, N. Y, cost $4,000, the town hav-
ing 5000 inhabitants. One man gave
$4,000 to the building fund, one gave
$4,000 and three gave $1,000 each. The
general secretary writes: 1.-The 5000
man visits us very often and says it is
one of his best investments"
Oscaloosa, Ia, located in a farming
community like Walla Walla, and
having but 9912 people, has an asso-
citation building that cost $4,000, it is
estimated that there are but ten peo-
pie in the town who are worth more
than 100000 each. And yet there was
one gift of more than $4,000 to the
building fund and three of $1,000 each.
There were 1900 subscribers, the young
men contributing $4,000. Last year
$500 was raised in subscriptions for
current expenses without difficulty, the
people giving readily.
At Muscatine, Ia, town about the
same size as Walla Walla, where
there is an association building, cost
ing $4,000, there were four subscrip-
tions of over $4,000 each. One man
said ne gave to the running expenses
not do business in town where there
were no such institutions as the
church gathers around itself" An
other was glad to give because it was
voluntary, not compulsory, as a tax
is"
Southbridge, Mass, a manufactur-
ing town of 5000 when it's association
building was erected, had three sub
scriptions of $4,000 each; three at
$500 and several more at $1,000 each
to it's building fund. The women
found the money for the furnishings
of the building almost entirely, as has
been the case with many such build
ings. With this information comes
the voluntary injunction, addressed
to the Walla Walla committee: Don't
build until you have the needed cash
At Sewickley. Pa, which is a town
of only $4,000, where there are not
more than six persons worth over
$100,0 each, there is a Young Mems
Christian association building that
cost 100000. There was one sub
scription of over $4,000 and seven OF
$1,000 each. The people give very
readily here to the current expense

At the office of the Citizens Y. M. c..
A Building committee very interesting
facts concerning the operation of
Young Mems Associations in other
cities about the size of Walla Walla,
has been received. Much of this in
formation has been specially asked
for in order that the committee might
have on hand facts for the information
of the people of this city, many of
whom, not having come into personal
contact with this great organization,
therefore know little about the details
of its workings.
A score or more of associations were
asked questions about how they got
their buildings, how they get the
money necessary to pay running ex-
penses, what the people think of the
associations now that they have been
established. and So on, and many of
the answers are very interesting in
view of the experiences here in
Wa1la walla.

Many of the business men Of North
