viii be nothing done from any stand

When. the session ends there will
have been passed the usual appro-
priation bills and some private
steals, and not one thing that the
people can point TO and say. it was
done in interest Of the people.
The trouble with the average
American citizen is that he will
never look at things as they ought
to be looked at until his belly is
empty. With q full stomach he
looks complacently on all steals and
gratis by the Republican party,
but let him get hungry and he will
utter yell that will reverberate

late and the Republicans have got
things nailed down for another four
years. Some day their pipe will 90

SPOKANE CORPORATION MAKES
VAN HoLDERBEKE FLAT
TERlNG OFFER.
Wants Him to Serve As Instructor and
Advisor to Farmers Who Are
Raising Fruit.

A. Van Holdebeke, whose term as
state hOrticulturist will expire August
l, has received an effer from the Spo-
kane Canal Co., of a four years con-
tract at a salary of $4,000 per year.
The work is similar to that which Mr..
Van Holderbeke has. been doing. He
is to serve as an instructor and advisor
of ranchers who are to undertake
fruit growing on irrigated land pur-
chased from the, canal company.
Speaking of the offer Mr.. Van Holder
beke said to a Tacoma newspaper re-
porter:
Il am not certain that shall accept
it although it is the best of ten good
offers l have received since my sue
cessor was appointed. The company
has an irrigating canal about thirteen
miles out of Spokane and owns 5000
acres Of fine land that is watered by
it. The company has sold 1000 acres
to ranchers, many Of whom do not I'M
derstand anything about the growing
of fruit and if 1 accept the offer it will
be my duty to give these ranchers
practical instruction in fruit growing
The company requires only half of my
time, so you see the offer is really bet

However, I have not yet accepted

A BLOW AT OIL MONOPOLlES.
Chemist Discovers Process Which
Will be Damper on Standard Co.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-There will
the United States as the result Of a
discovery by DR.. Hery S. Blackmore
the chemist. This discovery will lead
! to the utilization of billions of gallons
of sulphur oils which hitherto have
been useless. 1t will result in reduc-
ing the price of oil to the consumers
about so per cent, as by the use OF
this discovery SO much refined oil will
be produced that it will be impossible
for any one concern to control the
market.
For several years DR.. Blackmore has
been working on the problem at his
laboratory at Niagara Falls, and has
demonstrated that his discovery will
do all that is claimed for it. 1t is the
problem of fractional distillation, or
the separation of one product from
another. By a chemical process wa
terwhite oil can be produced from the
sulphur oils on the first distillation.
For years the Standard Oil company
attempted to discover a process which
would enable it to utilize the sulphur
oil, but failed.
DR.. Blackmore's discovery will in
crease the output of oil to enable the
independent operators to get a full
supply and the competition thus
brought about will benefit the people.
The oils which it has been impossible
to utilize heretofore, known as the
Lima or sulphur containing oils and
in the earth is ten times as much as
petroleum.
Last year the production of petrO-
leum amounted to about 100000, 900
gallons, valued at $165, 900. This
will give some idea of the immense
increased value of the product.
By this new process it costs SO cents
to make these sulphur oils available
for use. When sulphur oil is burned in
a room it fills the apartment with sui
phur fumes, and When used under
steel boilers it burns them out. But
after being treated by the new pro-
cess it can be used without danger to
life or the destruction Of property.

HOT LARD'S SCAR.
Father and Daughter Reunited After
Separation of Forty Years.

GAINESVILLE, Wis, July pa
spoonful of hot lard dropped on a
baby during the civil war has been the
means of bringing a father and daugn-
ter together after a separation of over
forty years.
Early in the war George Mason OF
this town returned from the front on
a furlough and found a baby girl wait
ing to welcome him. He went back to
the fight and when he was finally mus
tered out his wife and child had dis
appeared. Immediately he began a
search which mas occupied forty years
and took the father all over the world.
A short time ago he turned up in De-
trOit, where he lost his army papers,
his most cherished possession. In at
tempting to recover them he told the
story of his life to a United States at
torney and it got into the newspapers.
Mrs. Mary Strong read the story, and
being a deserted waif sent for Mason.
Their stories coincided but still she
was doubtful.
IF you could only prove it," she said
despairingly.
Il cam" declared Mason. IF you
are my daughter you have burn on
your body where accidentally dropped
not lard ON you one day.
He described the burn and the spot
and Mrs. Strong then knew she had
found her lOngloSt father.

Office Of Vice President.

When Senator Fairbanks is sworn
into office as vice president 1t Will
have been more than three years since
the Senate was presided over by a vice
president. In the last forty years the
mortality among vice presidents has
been remarkable. For more than six
teen years during that period the pre-
siding officer of the Senate has been a
president pro tempore-a senator
elected for the position from the body
of senators.
Vice President Andrew Johnson be-
came President but little more than a
month after Lincoln's second inaugural
ton in 1865, and during the interim be-
tween his leaving the Senate chair and
the qualification of Vice President Col
fax in 1869. the presidents pro tempore
of the Senate were Lafayette S. Foster
of Connecticut and Benjamin f. Wade
Of Ohio.
Vice President Wilson. who had
been elected with Grant in 1872, died
in office in 1875, and until Vice Presi-
dent Wheeler took up the duties of
presiding officer in 1877 the place was
filled by Thomas w. Ferry, senator
from Michigan.
The vacancy caused by the elevation
of Arthur to the presidency on the
death of Garfield in 1881 was filled by
David Davis of Illinois and George F..
Edmunds of Vermont. The latter was
followed by Vice President Hendricks,
who had been elected with Cleveland
in 1884, and was sworn into office in
1885. But he died before the year was
out, and until Vice President Morton
qualified in 1889, the presidents pro
tempore were John Sherman and John
]. ingalls,, the Republicans being in
the majority in the Senate, and there
fore electing a senator of that party
as presiding officer.
Vice President Hobart presided over
the Senate until 1899, and upon his
death In that year Senator Frye OF
Maine was elected president pro tenn
pore. He retired in 1901, when Vice
President Roosevelt took up the gavel,
but was reelected when the death of
President Mckinley transferred Mr..
Roosevelt from the Senate to the
White House.

Peace Conference.

That the further interchange OF
views preparatory to the formulating
of program for another peace confer
ence at The Hague be effected through
the international bureau under the
control of the permanent administra-
tive council of The Hague, is the sug-
gestion offered by Secretary Hay in a
second circular note to the powers.
made public at the State Department.
The note was dispatched week ago
but its publication was withheld until
it had reached the various American
embassies and legations abroad. The
secretary summarizes the replies Of all
the powers to his note of October 21st
and expresses the qualification of the
President at the cordial reception of
his invitation.
Having taken this initial step the
secretary says the President feels that
he has gone as far as he appropriately
can, and that with the general accept
ance of his invitation in principle, the
future conduct of the affair may fifty
follow its normal channels"
Regarding the conditional accept
ance of Russia, Secretary Hay says
that while the postponement which
this reply necessitates is to be re-
gretted, this government recognizes
the weight of the motive which in
duced it.

Announcement was made at the War
Department recently of the names of
various sea coast batteries on the At
lantic, Gulf and Pacific coasts. The
batteries are named after officers who
distinguished themselves in the Revo-
lutionary War, the War of 1912, the
War with Mexico, the Civil War, the
War with Spain and the Philippine in,

President Gompers and Secretary
Morrison of the American Federation
of Labor, called on Secretary Taft and
urged the employment of Porto Ricans
as far as possible in the construction
of the Panama canal. The matter was
discussed at some length and Mr.. Com
pers will confer with Governor Win
throp of Porto Rico in New York City
next week.
Secretary Taft. who is engrossed
with matters pertaining to the Philip
pines, had conference with the Pres
ident regarding questions relating to
the archipelago. The secretary desires
that the proposed reduction in the tar
iff on Philippine sugar and tobacco
should be provided for at this session
of Congress, and he is urging his views
strongly with all members of Congress
to whom he has opportunity to talk.
He hopes to obtain a rate on sugar and
tobacco imported from the Philippines
of twenty-five per cent. of the regular
Dingley rate. He intimated to-day that
negotiations had been initiated looking
to possible compromise on a Philip.

Port Must SoCn Fall.

Toxic, Dec. 31-The Navy Depart
ment published last night letter writ
ten by man on board the battleship
Sevastopol which had fallen into the
hands of the Japanese. The writer de-
spairs of the relief of the fortress, and
tells of the destruction wrought by Jap
anese shells.
He says the Russians are resigned to
their fate and are determined to fight
to finish rather than suffer the shame
of surrender owing to starvation. Fol
lowing is the text of the letter:
THE fortress cannot resist after De
cember. The progress of the enemy in
reducing our principal line of outer
defenses is not fully known, but it is
irresistible.
I'VE the sadly disappointed over the
non-arrival of the second Pacific
squadron and are daily nearing our
miserable end.
General Stoessels so-called impreg,
nable line of outer defenses is now Il
myth. With 2O3-Metre hill lost, the fall
of Port Arthur cannot be avoided Its
capture by the Japanese means the fall
of the town, however strong the other
defenses.
1.-The new town is at the mercy of
the enemy's fire. The old town alone
is defendable, and here alone may re-
sistance be prolonged.
''Two-thirds of the defenders of 203
Metre hill were lost.
THE Sevastopol, which was exposed
to the enemy's fire in the day time, on
the night of December Sth. without be-
ing towed, left the harbor with only
Ill. instead of her complement of 660
souls. When she went out she had her
nets down, but was struck twice by
the enemys torpedoes and was
beached, irreparably damaged. Cen
eral Stoessel highly praised the Off
GERS and crew of the ship.
Fuel is almost unobtainable and it
is impossible to keep our bodies warm.
I'VE no longer have a wireless tele-
graph system and have no means of
communicating with the outside world.
Our isolation is complete. There is no
news and we had no information for
a long time"

Judge Carpenter Exonerated.

Denver, Dec. 30.-The case of Judge
Carpenter was brought before the Su-
preme Court yesterday. The Judge
gave eight reasons why he assumed
jurisdiction in the mandamus proceed
ing contrary to the order of the higher
courts. He held that under ordinary
conditions Ward and Beshoar were en-
titled to the relief asked for. and that
the State Canvassing Board should be
mandamused to count certain votes.
At the same time that he issued the
writs. Judge Carpenter held that he did
not know that the Supreme Court had
ruled that mo District Court or Judge
had any power to issue such writs.'
Chief Justice Gabbert said that the
answer from Judge Carpenter was
what the court had expected. that he
had acted in good faith and was un-
aware of the action of the Supre me
Court when he signed the writs. This
being the case, the matter would be
dropped on the understanding that
Judge Carpenter dismissed the pro
ceedings in the lower couTtt. This was
done later.
