MAsTs MUST GO.
Will Soon Cease to Be Part of Coast
wise Vessels.

From the New York Times.
That in the near future all coastwise
steamers will be constructed mastless is
the opinion of Capt. j. G. Hulphers, Sc
nior commander of the Old Dominion line.
Speaking of the odd appearance of his
lines steamers, due to discarding the
mainmast, he said to Capt. George l..
Norton and few others in shipping
office the other day:
1.-THE Inman line vessels were ship
rugged, carrying three royal yards aloft,
and they look handsome and ship-shape,
l admit. So did the White Star liners
which came out later, with four masts,
and two forward ones square rugged Our
coastwise Morgan line steamers, the first
of the larger ships, were provided with
three masts. Now observe the spars car
ried on these ships, and you will find the
Inman line, absorbed by the American
line, has reduced its steamers masts to

! heralded, their unusual beauty and their
witty and sparkling conversation attract
Ing admiration in every Mobile drawing
room.
Mrs, Hamilton Is said to resemble the
beautiful aunt for whom she was named.
The story of the old south which Mrs.
Hamilton has just written, was finished
In Mobile, where she and her husband
have passed the winter.
The southern newspapers are giving
much prominence to Mrs. Hamllton's
story, and literary critics are predicting
that II win be one of the successes Of the
year. In an extensive notice, the Atlanta
Journal recently said In part:
Mrs. uamliton's book, aForsaking All
Others" will appeal TO those readers who
demand romance, and to others who arc
keenly appreciative of realism, for it is
Il love stery of the civil War The scene
IS laid at the time that Joseph Z. john
tons army lay ensamped in Dalton. AMI
and follows the retreat of the army to
Atlanta, picturlng the battle and fall of
Atlanta, and Sherman's march to the
sea, period In history that has not be-
coined hackneyed by historical romance
This is Mrs Hamiltons first book, al
though she has written magazine stories
and before her marriage the ability of
her work for the Dalton Argus, North
Georgias leading newspaper. was recog-
nized by all the Georgia press.
Probably the fact that Mrs. Hamilton
has had an ancestor In every war fought
on American soil. makes It only natural
that she should write war history.
She was reared In an atmosphere in
which the civil war heroes were daily dis
cussed and she has heard all of her life,
stories of the south's greatest leaders,
many of them personal friends of her
father and grandfather
As child she would constantly ask
her father to tell her all about the war,
and General Thomas graphic reminis-
censes of life during the sixties have al
ways intensified his daughters partially
for that portion of the worlds history.
Her father Gen. Bryan M Thomas,
and her maternal grandfather Cen Jones
M. Withers, were graduated from West
Point, and the latter gave his country
gallant service during the Mexican as
we'll as the civil war.
General Thomas and General Withers
were both in the terrible conflicts Of
Shiloh, Perryville. Mqrfreesboro, etc,
and were promoted for their gallantry.

TAX COMMISSIONS LETTER.
Addressed to Lawyers on Paying
PrObated Estate Tax.

The following open letter to the
members of the state bar was issued
Monday by the state tax commission:
'In the matter of the estate in
probate we desire to suggest the adj
visibility of having the courts final
decree recite that all of the notices
relating to the inheritance tax re-
quired by statute have been given
and finding that the state has been
paid. or, in the event that the estate
is not subject to the inheritance tax,
a finding to that effect.
"In large majority of cases there
is nothing to show that the law has
been complied with. except the state
treaurer's receipt of payment, which,
in a multitude of files and papers, is
frequently lost.
"The members of the bar will
readily see that in passing upon
of work in investigating whether
property which has passed through
probate is subject to the tax and
whether the same has been paid.
Where estates pass to collateral
heirs and strangers to the blood, ad-
ministrators and executors in many
instances seem to have overlooked the
fact that the tax obtains without ex-
emption. This is evidenced by the
fact that about $50 estates in this
state have been closed and this tax
Is yet unpaid. This tax remains a
lien upon the property, which will
be enforced, ana the final account Of
the administrator, executor or trus-
tee should not be allowed until all of
the provisions of the inheritance
tax law have been complied with.
I'VE ask hearty cooperation Of
the bar in the enforcement of the
concededly just inheritance tax law"

A CORDIAL RECEPTION.
Extended to Rev. and Mrs. Bywater
Last Friday Evening.

The members of St. Michael's
Episcopal church, who hold member
ship in that organization in this city,
met in an informal way at the resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. Alex Miller on
North Second street last Friday even
ing to extend a welcome to Rev.
Maurice J. Bywater, the new rector,
and his wife. The host, Mr.. Miller,
and Mrs. G. A. Graham and Mrs. F.
G. Hall received with the guests of
honor. Refreshments were served.
The welcome extended Rev. and Mrs.
gave them assurance of the co-opera-
on while their residence is in this
city.
Referring to the reverend gentle
man, the Denver Republican, upon
his leaving Colorado, said:
"Mr. Bywater has been in Colo
RADIO less than four years. He was
the first archdeacon appointed by
Bishop Olmstead. He originated the
plan to raise increased funds for do
cesar missions to devote per cent
of the total expenditures Of the par
ish to local mission work. This has
operated so we'll that the increase in
subscriptions has been 80 per cent.
"Since coming to Colorado Arch
deacon Bywater has been very active
in assisting the smaller churches. He
has built the church at Arvada,
which he founded, and a new
church will be dedicated at Fort Nor
gan today, that owes its building
largely to his efforts. Fort Lupton,
Sterling, Loveland and other towns
have had his active assistance in Sc
curing new houses of worship.
Before coming to Colorado Arch
deacon Bywater was canon OF the To-
peka cathedral and was a member
of the standing committee and of the
board of missions. He was also con-
nected with the Kansas Theological
school as professor of Greek and Old
Testament history. Mr. Bywater is
a 32d degree Mason and is well
known over the state among the
Masons, because of his addresses be-
fore them. He is much esteemed by
laymen as well as clergy, and he
goes away followed by regrets and
good wishes. The family will leave
for the west this week"

When questioned the surveyors
stated that they were looking for
water rights, yet they never even
attempted to make filings, and the
Tacoma officials were able to make
first claims without any dificulty.
The firm belief Is that while the
Yakima local company is approach
ing the pass from the east, the Mil
waukee is silently preparing the
route from the west.
Al authority in whom the News
mas confidence, says of the situation:
There are four feasible passes
through the Cascades South of Stew
art pass. The Northern Pacific en-
gineers surveyed all four Of these
passes more than 20 years ago, when
building through to Tacoma. They
are the Snoqualmie, Stampede,
Natchez and Cowlitz. The Stampede
is occupied by the Northern Pacific,
the Seattle and International, crea-
ture of the Hill lines, owing to its
proximity to the Snoqualmie pass,
controls it. The Great Northern oc-
cupies the Steens pass. Thus but
two available passes across the Cas-
cadeS remain unOccupled.
1.-THE Tacoma Eastern is without
question headed for the Cowlitz
pass. If the Hartman lines are to
have a share of the Puget Sound
shipping 1t must have the pass. 1t
can never afford to haul freight
around by the Columbia river and
thence by roundabout route up to
the Sound in competition with the
shortcut roads.
II know the preliminary surveys
are made through the Cowlitz and
down the eastern slope to the Yakima
valley and that to all intents and
purposes the Tacoma Eastern occu-
pies the Cowlitz pass.
"That leaves but one feasible
known pass across the Cascades-the
Natchez. I know nothing about the
Milwaukee's plans, but we all know
or think we know that it has already
expended large sums Of money in Ia
coma terminals and other Puget
Sound property. l know that sur
veyors have been working along the
White and the Greenwater river in
small parties all summer"

THE SPOKANE FAIR.
Opens Next Week With EXtraordi-
nary List of Attractions.

Mardi Gras features will be
prominent in the opening night en-
tertainment to be given at the Spo-
kane Interstate Fair next Monday,
October 9. The Spokane 10000
club, which has this first nights
show in charge, proposes to Guido
New Orleans If it is possible and to
put up carnival of sports, fun, en-
tertainment and amusement which
will astonish the crowd which goes
to the grounds that night.
The club which has this in charge
represents the energy of the young
business men of Spokane. II. l.. Lii
ienthal is chairman Of a strong COM
mittee which has been appointed and
numerous subcommittee are at
work. Dutch" Jake is to organ
ize Dutch band, which will be a
wonder. 1t will play music which
never before was heard of. Another
committee is preparing cakewalk
to be given by some of the leading
citizens of Spokane. Merchants will
have all manner Of grotesque ex-
hibits. Rough, plain advertise
ments which have no interesting
features will not be permitted. No
horses will be allowed in the parade
which will be on the race track, and
II merchants and manufacturers use
floats they must be drawn by men,
boys or girls.
Every person in the line Of march
must wear some manner of costume
or uniform. No plain clothes will be
permitted. The committee is pre-
pairing hundreds of costumes to be
worn.
This parade will be one of the
most exciting and interesting things
to see at the Spokane fair this year.
All railroads entering Spokane give
excursion rates into the city for this
first day, which will enable every one
in the Spokane country who wishes
to see this fair, to do so.

KIND WORDS FOR YAKIMA.
From the Commonwealth, Published
in Seattle, in Recent Issue.

The Commonwealth, of Seattle, in
it's last issue, gives the yakima, the
home of the state fair" space on it's
front, second and third pages, and
prints highly eulogistic article,
from which the following is an ex-
tract:
1.-The productiveness, the wealth,
the beauty and the hope of the Yaki-
The country has farms, gardens, or
chards, meadows, livestock knee deep
in green pastures, hop yards, Vine
yards, groves, well-kept lawns and
happy homes. These are distinctive
features of the Yakima country.
They all owe their being to irriga-
ton. The waters of the river are the
lifeblood of the land. Until they
were spread over the prairies by men
this was a desert, and where the
canals cannot be extended the desert
will be forever.
at is asserted by persons who have
carefully canvassed the situation that
the land of the Yakima valley al
ready reclaimed is capable of sup
porting population three times as
great as that now here. When the
water now running to waste in the
river has been properly conserved
in storage systems, which are now be-
ing considered, and which will un-
questionably be constructed in the
near future, there will be ample room
for an agricultural population of at
least 100000, living under condi-
lions and IN a state of prosperity I'M
equaled anywhere in the wide world.
1.-THE Yakima valley is pre-emin-
emily good place to live, and a place
to make a good living. 1t is invit-
ing to the man of the middle west
who is tired of the strenuous strug-
gle to keep warm IN winter and cool
in summer, and to escape the cyclone
and the blizzard when not otherwise
engaged. There are no storms of
any kind here. Sometimes the Ice
man harvests crop in winter, but 1t
often happens that he doesn't.
Usually the winter brings enough
snow for sleighride, but If the man
with the sleigh hesitates he IS lost.
There are three weeks of hot
weather in the summer, but the sui
triness of the more humid countries
is unknown. The nights are always
cool enough for refreshing Sleep"

In this quite superfluous statement
Let me hasten to concur!
In my widest flights of fancy
have never thought you were!
Yet l cannot help admitting
That I'd dearly love to see,
If you ever tried to be one,
Just the kind that you would be.
I suspect If you should happen
In the game to hold chair
That you'd want to open the jackpots
With timely little prayer.
And of one thing I'm as certain
AS I am of anything
That you'd be holy terror,
If you went to have your fling.
