Washington, Jan. Slight is
today thrown upon the rumors of
discord between Secretary Taft
and Chairman Shontz of the Canal
Commission, by the publication of
a letter from Secretary Taft to
President Roosevelt, embracing
correspondence with Shontz.
1t appears that Shontz, as pres
ident of the Panama railroad, to
meet obligations of the road, de-
cided to sell 62S one-thousand
dollar bonds without consulting
higher authority. Secretary Taft
told him he should not do so, and
then the President counseled
Shontz to re-purchase the bonds.
Another source of trouble was
the cancellation of the Markell
contract, for commissary supplies
for the Isthmus. At the instigation
of Shontz, Markell was paid over
ten thousand dollars for his time
and services in making the bid.
In each case the sole objection
lay in Shontz exceeding his au-

THE sudden and unexp lained
removal OF Gen. Funston from
command and placing Gen. A. w.
Greeley in charge seems to indi-
cate that the military rule in San
Francisco has been unnecessarily
severe and conflicting with the
civil authorities. The papers have
stated that executions by the
soldiers were very plentiful.
Shooting men for looting and out
raging women was justi6able and
the proper thing to do, but there
were cases reported that did not
seem probable and if true were
wholly wrong and reprehensible.

IT seems clear that we shall
never be able to satisfy the
Booster with our way OF running
a paper. They take vigorous ex-
ceptions to our paying the boys
and girls tor bringing in locals,
call the people an ignorant lot tor
patronizing US. and show temper
quite out of place in high moral
print shop. We have boys and
girls on our repertorial force who
can write better worded locals
now than half the editors, and we
modestly admit that the plan is
educational in character. 1t is far
better for the boys and girls to
spend the time that way than in
many others, and does less harm
to the community. We will have
to continue the plan as it works
like a charm.

THERE was a funnyism in last
weeks Gazette about w. I. Boz
man and a photo. We know that
was what it was but we will be
hanged if we understood how
this editor got mixed up IN it.
We do wish Fred would print a
diagram with his jokes. We can
study out the meaning of his ser
mons by careful comparison of
his biblical quotations and then
by deciding what ought to be said
on the subject we get very COM
prehensive idea of what he is try
ing to arrive at, but we have not
got a joke key, and unless he
makes them clearer we shall have
to cut out considering them. The
one printed last week has cost us
too much good time.

WE are some what surprised
that the Booster does not seem to
appreciate the advertising we
gave them anent their subscrip-
ton rates in our last issue. We
were not aware that the reduction
was a secret except to the chosen
few. In most printing Offices one
mans dollar is as valuable as
another's, and we presumed that
their rates were open to all. Since
they explain that they were
merely making quiet campaign
and that they charged all others
the regular rate we suppose that
will explain it all to the satisfac-
ton of those who were unfortu-
nate in getting in on the ground
floor. 1t is not strange that the
Booster should feel somewhat sad
over the subscription contests
which have been run by this paper.
They were successful, and the
ladies did not have any trouble in
getting the subscribers even with
the enterprising Weekly Mistake
competing at dollar year.

SOME weeks ago Montrose
paper asserted that the North
Fork Fruit Growers Association
were going to import JaPs to
harvest the crops this fall. We
made no mention of it at the time
because we felt certain that there
was nothing in the report. Last
weeks Booster picks the matter
up as if there was some founda-
ton for it therefore we have con-
suited with Manager Garvin, of
the Association and he assures US
that no steps of that character
have been taken. Certain 1t IS
that vast majority of our busi-
ness men as well as farmers will
never agree to the hiring OF yell
low mongrels while white Ameri-
can labor can be obtained for the
asking. 1t may be accepted as
fact that white men. women, boys
and girls will harvest the bount-
eous fruit crop this fall same as
heretofore.

Thus above, we have furnished
as far as possible, the list of con-
tributions, giving every credit
where it is due and at hand. Mr.
Mead's figures as compiled at the
cars are used and if errors have
crept in due charity should be
shown. He was mighty busy
man and may easily have made
some mistakes. There still re
main some few subscriptions un-
paid, which will swell the total a
little. Some few contributions,
particularly of clothing, arrived
too late for shipment with these
cars and will go forward later.
No estimate has been made on
the value of the clothing, although
there were ten or eleven cases of
these much needed goods. An
other disappointment to the COM
mittee is that no record was kept
of the donors of clothing, and the
few names mentioned were caught
by accident. Dozens are unmen-
toned.

LEGEND OF THE

Row tho Natural Bridge over the
Columbia River Was Destroyed.

The cascades ia the Columbia river
near the Dalles are a very interest
ing subject for the geologist and sci
enlist At this point about 10000
900 cubic feet OF water pass each sec
oad OF sme during high water and
about 100000 cubic feet OF water
at low-water stage In the river. The
water ruches and dashes over great
rocks and through creviccs. and
FERNS many waterfalls aud deep
swirlins pools. From the topography
Of the adjacent country the scientist
judges that at one time there was
here either wonderful waterfall, or
as Indian legend has II. an immense
natural bridge Let us follow out
the Indian tradition about the place.
Indian lore has 1t that at this point
there was a natural bridge across
the Columbia. and that beneath this
immense natural archway flowed that
rolling river. and that the red men
navigated this waterway in their ca
noes. This bridge was covered with
pines and Grs and trail passed over

Town killers, says an exchange,
are classified in seven separate
punches, asfollows: First, those who
go out of town to do their shopping;
second, those who want a quiet town,
instead OF one OF push aud business;
third, those who imagine they own the
town: fourth, those who deride public
spirited men: fifth, those who oppose
everything that does not appear to
benefit them: sixth, those VINO oppose
everything that does not originate
within themselves; seventh, those who
seek to injure the credit or reputation
OF another.
