to the examinations of the past winter
and spring.
These conditions greatly increase
the cost and the engineers estimate
that the project will cost over $6,0O0,-
900, 900 in it's entirety, which is much
greater than the funds available for
it's construction. Under these cir
cumstances it is not considered feas-
ible to undertake at present the con-
struction of the Palouse project, as it
would necessarily nave to languisn
many years in an unfinished condition
without any available results.
"Other projects in the state of
Washington, in the OkanOgan and
Yakima valleys are under investiga-
ton and will be reported upon for
construction as soon as found feasible.

INSURANCE WAYS ON TRIAL.
Americans Should Study the Company
Before Insuring.


CHICAGO, June 3O.-Walter Well
man in a New York special to the Re-
cord erald, says:
American life insurance is not on
trial, but American life insurance
management Is on trial. There is no
reason why policy holders should be-
come alarmed. A great majority Of
the companies are not only safe and
insolvent, but we'll managed. The In
terests of the policy holders in these
companies are thoroughly protected,
and they are getting or will get in due
.i2le. according to their contracts, ev-
~ dollar that is due them.
Unfortunately, there are a few
badly managed companies. But even
these badly or extravagantly managed
concerns are solvent. There is no
danger of their failure. They will pay
out all claims. The only danger is
that they may not do as we'll as they
OuSnt 10 uO ny lIcll iiNOS1Oio'
Hence my conclusion, after sur
vey of the whole field, and pretty in
innate knowledge of the inner work.
ings of many of the companies is this:
mo reason exists why the Ameri-
can public should lose faith in life in
surance. 1t is as great, as strong, as
beneficial as yer.
But there is very reason why men
who contemplate taking out policies,
or changing the policies which they
now have, should make careful study
of the business and discriminate be-
tween those which are we'll managed
and those which are not.
1.-The lesson of recent events Is that
no man should go into life insurance
blindly and carelessly, taking every
thing on faith. He should take the
trouble to inform himself as to the
methods and prospects of the compan-
les whose policies he thinks of TAX
ing, and, in my opinion, publicity is
the best cure for extravagant life in
surance management.
Every company should be required
to publish in the newspapers at least
once a year every fact and figure bear
| ing on it's operations every item OF
expense, every investment"
| The foregoing is the answer which
received when 1 asked a Well-knoWn
banker who has long had experience
in life insurance, for a general state
ment of mis- views to the general cris-
is in life insurance and the effect upon
the future, and the interests OF the
holders of the five millions of policies
| in the United States.

TO KEEP NOTHING BACK
BoodIers in Milwaukee County Board
Will Be Exposed.

MILWAUKEE, June 30.-According
to an interview with Register of Deeds
Otto Seidel Jr, he will tell the grand
Jury about every Doodle case in which
members of the county board have
participated in six years.
Deals" involving between $4,000
and $4,000, ne says, will be laid bare:
The principal cases in which money
was used, Seidel states, are in the pur-
chase of a site for a morgue and fur
niture for the county hospital.
Just what names will appear on in
dictments is not known yet, but it is
evident that State Attorney McGovern
expects to reap big harvest from the
confessions that Seidel is said to have
made and is expected to make
One of the witnesses before the re-
cent grand jury was James L. Gates,
wealthy lumberman of Milwaukee.
His appearance before the committee
lends color to the belief that the grand
jury will also investigate certain ac-
tons of the legislators.
The surprise of the day was Wnen

WAS CELEBRATED IN LONDON
AND THROUGHOUT BRITISH
ISLES TODAY
Chief Feature of the Program Was the
"Trooping the CoIors" by the
Horse Guard.

LONDON, June 30.-King Edwards
birthday was officially celebrated to-
day. The kings real birthday is on
November 9, but as everybody is away
from London at that time of the year,
scattered at the shooting lodges in
Scotland, at country houses in Eng
land or else on the continent, another
date is selected by him for the cele-
bration of his birthday during the Lon
don season. Today's celebration. how
ever, was limited to the British Isles.
In all other parts Of the empire the
day is celebrated on the actual ami
versary.
The general affection with which the
British people regard their sovereign
was evidenced as always in the keep
ing of a general holiday and the sus-
pension of business. Towns through
out the kingdom were gaily decorated
and the shipping at the various ports
made liberal display of bunting. The
day was observed at all the home mil
itary and naval stations with parajes
and salutes.
The chief feature Of the London eel
ebration was the ceremony of troop
ing the colors" on the Horse Guards
parade. Thousands Of persons lined
the Whitehall route and cheered his
majesty as the royal procession pass
ed on it's way from Buckingham palace
to the scene of the ceremony. Stands
covered with crimson cloth were erect
ed about the parade and were occupied
by thousands of privileged spectators,
including the new United States am
bassador, Wnitelaw Reid, mis- wife and
daughter. The king was greeted with
loud applause as he made his appear
ance with a brilliant escort that in
cluded many notables. The troops taxi
ing part in the ceremonies were the
Grenadier Guards Scots Guards, Irish
Guards, and the Life Guards. After
the inspection of the troops and the
presentation of the cOlOrs, the cere-
morning and the fourth at 1 o'clock

COMPLETE STATEMENT OF PA
LOUISE RIVER IRRIGATION
PROJECT GIVEN OUT
Letter Written by Director Walcott to
Secretary Of the Interior Relative
to the Subject.

The full text of the letter of Director
Walcott, of the geographical survey,
to the secretary of the interior in an
swer to Congressman Jones' letter of
inquiry relative to progress of irri-
cation work in Washington, the sub
stance of which was telegraphed to a
Pacific coast newspaper, is as follows:
June Z, 1905.
The Honorable, the Secretary Of the
Interior.
''Sir:-I have received, by depart
mental reference of June 8, letter
from Hon. w. L. Jones inquiring about
the irrigation projects in the state of
Washington and inclosing resolutions
Of the Spokane chamber Of commerce.
Mr.. Jones also endorsed the resOlu-
tons.

more than 100000 to the reclama
ion fund. This declaration loses sight
IF the fact that the reclamation fund
is formed entirely by the sale of pub
lie land to which the state has no
lain except that granted by the rec
,amation act. The act provides that
The major portion be devoted ulti-
nately to construction in the state
where it originated, subject to the ex-
istence therein Of feasible projects
Nearly a half of the fund, therefore
is entirely unrestricted and may be
spent anywhere within the arid region
in the discretion of the secretary OF
the interior. Were it not for this full
ly one-half of the states in the arid
region would be debarred from partic-
ipation in the benefits of this fund
which is a national and not a state
fund.

Reference to Palouse Project

1.-The resolutions further earnestly
commend the Palouse project and re-
fer to the high value of the land under
that project. This project has been
under examination by this Office for
some time, and on November IA, 1904,
the department gave it's preliminary
approval to the project and author
lied the completion of Investigations
to determine it's entire feasibility. On
the strength of this authority, as is
customary in such cases, more extern
sive examinations were made and Dor
ings, now nearly completed, were TAX
en- to ascertain the underground con-
ditions. The results were examined
by a board of engineers, whose report,
under date of April %, has been sub
mitted to the department and shows
extensive deposits of coarse sand and
gravel underlying the reservoirs and
conduits of the Palouse system. This
renders necessary extensive pudding
and concrete lining in the upper part
of the system, and will subject the ca
nails to heavy loss by seepage through
the distribution system. This result
could not have been foreseen previous

A cuRlous PHENOMENON.
The singular Noises at NaISous, on
 the Red Sen.

The sAmkuANAN NuAaNh AA N--
 the Red Sen.
 A singular phenomenon occurs on the borders of the Red sea at place called Nakous, where intermittent under ground sounds have been heard for an unknown number of centuries. It Is situated at about half a mile distant from the shore, whence long reach of sand ascends rapidly to height of 300 feet This reach is about so feet wide and resembles an amphitheater, being walled by low rocks. The sounds com ing up from the ground at this place rccur at intervals of about an hour They at first resemble a low murmur, but ere long there Is heard a loud knocking somewhat like the strokes of a bell and which at the end of about five minutes becomes so strong as to agitate the sand.
 The explanation of this curious phe- nomenon given by the Arabs is that there is convent under the ground here, and that these sounds are those of the bell which the monks ring for prayers. So they call it Nakous, which means a bell. The Arabs affirm that the noise so frightens their camels when they hear it as to render them furious. Philosophers attribute the sound to suppressed volcanic action probably to the bubbling of gos or vapors underground.-Newcastle (Eng land) Chronicle.

The Valencia arrived in port at Q D.. m. yesterday with IT passengers, 3' ) tons of freight, three days American paper mail and the Canadian mail. She is discharging freight at Moore dock and will sail this evening.
 Had it not been for the officers on the Valencia all the letter mail would have been on that boat instead of tho Jotfer- son. All the mail was sent down 10 the Valencia and the postofiice authorities were notified that the Jefferson would be at Skagwsy first, so the letter mail was taken back and transferred 10 that boat. The criticism of the postoftice force in yesterdays issue of the Daily Alaskan was to the point.

A Lnndlubher's Description or Ihih
 Peculiar Fish.
 The barn door skate bCggars de- scription. I never could tell whether he was looking at me with his eyes or his breathe holes. He is bottom fish and flat like a founder, He has a triangular body. the apex of which forms the snout; opposite his snout are his tail and a few extra pieces of his overcoat, which kind nature has tagged on to him in case he gets torn and has to be mended. His tail is cm bcllished with a few spines-this know for a fact.
 He has couple of eyes little way back of his suOut and right back of these are a. couple of holes that extend completely through him. These holes connect with his lungs, or what ever he uses to breathe with, and have an uncomfortable way of locking at you at the same time as his eyes.
 He has mouth, too, but it is on the under side of him and convenient toi business. It Is a funny thing, with spines on the lips, and when you pull the lower jaw the upper jaw moves with it-a sort of automatic trap, no' unlike what you can see in any ten cent restaurant. This is lNndlub ber's description, but it is enough Country Life In America.

His Person Sacred.

The person of the Korean emperor is sacred. If human hand touches biu 1t is sacrilege, and the punishment for sacrilegc is death. If the emperor touches subject he becomes sacred The emperor's name must be mention, ed only in whispers. His portrait is never painted except after death Then it is worshiped. Once foreign ambassador sought to present the cm peror with the portrait of his sOver, eign. But the minister for foreign af' fairs regarded the offer as an outrage and the portrait was never accepted The emperor's power is boundless; his word is law, and he owns everything land and people without restriction A simple wish is a command.

THE WORD DOLLY.
Originally It Was the Name of Fab'
 ric For summer Wcnr.

Though the word dolly is now re stricted in meaning to the small cloth that covers a dessert plate, it had originally much wider siguihcation It seems to have been introduced as a cheap and fashionable fabric, special ly for summer wear, about the latter part of the seventeenth century, for Dryden speaks of "doilcy pctt'conts, and Steele in the Tatler mentions "a doyley suit"
 The name has been long connected with a London firm, trading as linen drapers, in Upper Wellington street Strand, who occupied the great old corner house next to Hodsol's, the banker. from Queen Aune's time to 1850. Though their name happens to be the same as that of the stuff, ,hcre Is no authority for linking the two to- gether.

M-jOr Richardson At Head Of !. Road Commission

Major W. P. Richardson will prob ably be at the head otthe military com mission that win disburse the money the federal government is going to eN' pend upon Alaskan roads. This is the news that has been received from Washington through private sources, She following from Walter F.. Clark's specials n the Seattle Post Inteliigen- cer indicates that the news is prob bly, correct:
 "Requests have come to the war de- 'partment for the appointment of Maj, WildS r Richardson as member of the Alaska rUsd commission authorized by the the bill which devoteS 70 per ' cent. of, the license moneys collected outside |, limits of incorporated towns in the territory 10 the construction of . wagon roads and trails, The bill pro vides for a commission of three mem' bers, all of whom shall be officers of the United States army. One otthe officers is to be a member Of the corps of engt- neers and the others are 10 be officers ot the line or staF on regular duty iu Alaska.
 "Maj. Richardson, if detailed on the road commission, would probably be senior to the other members and would, therefore, be pre,iding officer of the boarl. He has had a varied experience in several parts ot the territory, and is interested in the development Oi the country.
