A True Incident.

A French family has recently had
its fortunes restored In way to sug-
gest story telling. They were wretch
edly poor, selling one possession after
another in order to live. One day the
mother. in moving an old desk OF her
creat-grandfather. came upon an old
book. between the pages of which was
stamp OF the Island of Maurice Of
1917.
A traveller stopping to rest in the
cottage one day saw this stamp, which
a boy was sticking 10 a homemade en-
velope. playing 'postoffice' with a lit
tle friend. This traveller "a man OF
wealth and a collector Of curios) saw
that II was very rare. In truth. there
were but two others in existence, one
belonging to the King Of England AMI
one to the Car of Russia. He told the
family Of their treasure. and it was
through his interest and eXertions that
the stamp was subsequently sold for

The mayor, apprehending that the
Americans would seize the town hall,
gathered more than hundred men,
who were armed with machetes, some
of them with firearms, and stationed
themselves inside the building, while
many other armed Cubans were in the
immediate vicinity. Some of the writ

with knives. In anticipation of what
the Americans might do, couple of
small cannon were placed in front of
the town ball. Absolutely nothing oc-

PLEDGED TO AID
COLUMBIA RIVER
Support Of Roosevelt and Taft Has
Been Secured.
Realize Necessity as Soon as It Is
Explained - Will Urge Appropra-
ton to Continue Work on Jetty-
Efforts of Fulton and Carey are
Successful.

Washington, Nov. 80. - President
Roosevelt and Secretary Taft are in
hearty sympathy with the movement
started in Portland to secure an appro-
priation at the coming session of con-
gress Tor continuing the imrovement OF
the mouth of the Columbia river, and
80 expressed themselves yesterday tc
Senator Fulton and Judge Charles II
Carey. Judge Carey, in presenting this
matter to the president, acted as repre-
sentative of Portland's commercial in
terests and, together with Senator Full
ton, made a full statement of the ne
cessity for an immediate appropriation
for continuing work on the jetty
When they first explained the object
of their call, the president declared the
matter clearly beyond his province,
and cited numerous instances where
other states have asked him to interest
himself in behalf of their river and
harbor work. But, as the situation at
the mouth of the river was unfolded to
him, and as he became convinced that
it would be good business policy for
congress to make an appropriation this
winter for keeping work under way,
he began to realize that he would be
acting wholly within his province in
advising that money be provided for
this work.
When he fully understood the situa-
ton, the president asked many ques-
tions about it. He informed Judge
Carey that, if the Portland commercial
bodies would present to him full
statement showing the emergency that
exists and point out the reasons why it
is essential that an appropriation
should be made this winter, he would
submit that statement to Chairman
Burton, of the river and harbor COM
mittee. and cooperate as far as was IN
his power to secure the appropriation
which Portland interests are seeking.
The president also promised to consult
the army engineers and obtain from
them statement OF the necessity for
an immediate appropriation.
Greatly encouraged by the assurances
given by the president, the senator and
Judge Carey then called on Secretary
Taft, who was a schoolboy friend Of
Judge Carey. When Judge Carey pre-
sented the resolutions of the board of
trade, pointing out the need for an i'm
mediate appropriation, the secretary
promised to submit them to the chief
of engineers, and to call for report as
to the necessity for making an appro-
priation this winter for continuing
work on the jetty.

WEALTH IN SANDS,
Government Gives Out Report About
Coasts Magnetic Iron Ore.

Washington, Nov. 20. - From Fort
Stevens, at the mouth of the Columbia
river, southwark 8 miles to Tillamook
Head, is one of the richest black sand
beaches on the Pacific coast, according
to the figures contained in the second
preliminary report of DR.. David T..
Day, OF the United States geological
slrvey, on the results of experiments
on concentrating these sands. The
Clatsop beach sands were the first with
which experiments were made, and the
results obtained from them have Just
been given out by the government.
Magnetic iron ore is shwon to be
present in immense quantities, in one
place attaining the remarkable average
of 643 .559 pounds in one ton of sand,
but much gold and platinum were also
found. In fact it is said by DR.. Day
that the values in the precious metals
alone would in themselves probably
pay for the cost of working the sand.
1t was through the energy of the
Astoria chamber of commerce in sack
ing and loading into cars at it's own ex-
pense samples to be experimental with,
that this sand first received attention.
A government geologist was sent to ex-
anime the beach from which the sam
Piles were taken.
He found the sands l, 800 feet west
of Hammond station, near Fort Stew
ems, to be the richest. At this point
the sand is very black, becoming light
er in color toward the south, ranging
from dense black to light gray, at the
mouth of the Necanicum river From
this point to Tillamook head, the sand
is very green, due to the presence of
olivine and other portions of decom-
posed basalt. One mile from Tilla-
nook head large basaltic boulders take
the place of most of the sand, which is
very thin from here on.

The story of Indoor Sun.

Once on time, in far Japan,
There lived busy little man,
SO merry and so full of fun
That people called him Indoor Sun.
Now Indoor Sun made mirrors fine,
Like those in your house and In mine,
And In these looking glasses bright
His own face saw from morn till night
1t made him feel so very sad
To see his face look cross and bad,
That he began to take great care
To keep a sweet smile always there.
And soon he found that those he knew
All seemed to like him better, too;
For, like the mirrors, every one
Began to smile on Indoor Sun!
Now try this just one day and sec
How bright and smiling you can be;
You'll find both happiness and fun
In playing you're an Indoor sun"

the House Floor.

Washington, Dec. l. - Speaker Can
non has reached the important deter
mination that hereafter the chairman
of the appropriations committee shall
be the Republican leader on the floor.
This means that Representative Serene
E. Payne, of New York, who will be
continued as chairman of the ways and

sofa, at present the Republican whip,
has been selected as chairman OF the

formal announcement to this effect has
been made, and will be the new Repub-
lcan floor leader. Representative Nc
Cleary, of Minnesota, who was origin
ally chosen to be chairman of the ap-
preparations committee, will be trans
ferred to the ways and means commit
tee, taking Mr.. Tawney's place there.
Mr.. Cannon is determined to abso-
lutely control the house in the matter
of preventing tariff revision. He lost
control of the ways and means COM
mittee last session. He does not fee,
sure of Mr.. Tawney on the question OF
tariff revision and decided to take him
off the committee and substitute Mr..
McCeary, who is unalterably opposed
to notifications of the tariff schedule.

Leave Isle Of Pines to Cuba.

Washington, Nov. 2S. - The Cuban
government will be permitted to settle
to its own satisfaction the existing
State department has go announced. OF
course, if American citizens were to be
unduly prosecuted or maltreated be-
cause of any exercise by them of their
right of freedom of speech or assembly,
this government will take steps to se-
cure for them justice. But if those
Americans on the islands place them
selves outside the pale Of the law by
refusing to recognize the authority of
the Cuban government, they will have
to take the consequences.

CUT OFF FROM OUTSIDE WORLD
Operatives Driven From St. Peters
Sburg Telegraph Office.

St. Petersburg, Dec. l - Commune
cation with the outside world ceased az
3 o'clock this afternoon, when strike
was called in the general telegraph
office. By ruse, however, the man
agement succeeded in reopening the
cable shortly after 6 O'Clock.
At o'clock, when the strike went
into operation, many OF the Russian
operators were reluctant to leave, but a
walking delegate promptly smashed a
bottle of hydrochloric acid on the floor,
and the fumes soon drove the men from
their keys.
The Danish cable operators remained
at their posts, but the receiving clerks
having fled, messages were refused for
three hours. Although troops occu-
pied the building, the employees who
were willing to work were terrorized. +.
and were afraid to return.
Nj. Slevastianoff, superintendent of
posts and telegraphs, declares that the
government has ample evidence to
prove that the strike is a political con-
spiracy planned by the revolutionaries,
the demand for the reinstatement of
the discharged leaders of the telegraph
ers' union at Moscow being mere pre-
text, which, however, has deceived
many operators and other employees of
the service NJ Slevastianoff declares
that it is impossible for the govern
ment to yield or to be held up by its
own servants, and that it is determined
to fight out the matter to the bitter
end

masked ball given by Mrs. Cornelys,
in Carlisle House, Soho. He was duly
invited to display his skill. Having
put on the skates he took violin and
began whirling about to his own
music. One thing he had not studied,
however, and that was how to guide
himself and to stop quickly. and the
result was that before the performance
had lasted very long he dashed into an
immense mirror valued at $2,5OO,
smashed his fiddle to bits, and serious
ly injured himself. That appears to
have dampened the spirit Of inventors,
for we hear nothing Of other wheel
skates for nearly half a century.
