Secretary Wilson in a statement be

Secretary Wilson in a statement be-
fore the committee some time ago,
says that the packers would shift the
cost upon the consumer and; producer,
land the. president himself was in ia
vor o: the packers paying for the in
spection only because he feared that
Congress would not appropriate an
adequate sum for a. thorough execu-
ton Of the law. The representatives
OF th,s cattle growers protested that
they would have to- bear the bulk of
the fee, even # it was put upon the
packers, and those ofsus who believe
in the doctrine that the consumer
pays the tax, could hardly take any
other position than that the govern
ment ought to pay for inspection out
right in the beginning, without equiv
ocation, or beating the devil around
the stump. I believe in the direct
way of doing business, and I believe
that the tax bearer Of the country is
entitled to know just how his money
is being spent, and if every tax bear
er in this country who is now suffer-
ing under tariff robbery could know
just how much he is paying in the
way CT tax there would be a political
revolution in the country in less than
twenty-four hours.
"M1. Williams protest to the speak
er was based entirely upon the fact
that his appointment of the conferees
was a violation Of the precedents, and
he Immediately came to me and thor
oughly explained his position, and it
was entirely satisfa actory to mes for as
I said, it was my intention from the
moment the Speaker called my name
to refuse to serve on the committee.
This is the whole truth, and is sus-
ceptible of verihcation by the rec
ords.'

ALONE IN DEATH.
Sad Fate of a Young Woman in
Florence.

Telling in it's sad details a story
of suffering and betrayal of man
who professed to love her, and
who had deserted her three months
before the birth Of a child last Satur-
day morning, is the life of young
woman supposed to be Laura May
Rhame, who died last night about II
o'clock at the infrrnary Of DR.. VIM.
Ilderton on Evans street.
The: young woman had been in
Florence for some time and had
taken a room at clearinghouse in
East Florence, where she was be-
ing treated by Dr. Ilderton.
Friday morning her condition was
alarming, and it was deemed advisable
to take her to the inhrmary where
she could receive more careful atten-
ton and be under constant medical
supervision. But she had passed the
stage of human aid and death en-
sued--leaving her real identity mys-
terry, and little baby girl.
The remains of the unfortunate
younss mother were taken to Waters
undertaking establishment and pre-
pared for burial, and the interment is
being postponed in the. hopes of get
ting intelligence from friends or rela-
tites.
The child is being cared for by DR..
Ilderton until something else can be
done, in the way Of providing a home
for it.
AS to the real Identiy of the woman
no one knows. She had gotten only
one letter since she had been here,
addressed to Miss May May RhaGe,
and :hree letters were found in her
posse ssion addressed to parties in
Sumter and Clarendon counties.
Another letter from an unknown
party was found in which he wrote
in the most endearing terms, and
making unfulhlled promises.
Also a record in the faded leaves OF
a. worn Bible were found some family
records, but nothing tending to throw
any light on the mystery.
1t is said that Z. man came here
abou: four months ago looking for
party by the name of the dead woman
and that he had some money which
belonged to her through the sale of
some property. But he looked in vain,
and could not get in communication
with her in any way. He has not been
heard from since.
DR.. Idlerton has borne the expense
of the woman's sickness and death
and says he does not mind that, but
would like to make some disposition
of the child-Florence Times.

Tacoma, Wash. Dec. Captain
George w. Williams of Tacoma and

acres of land in Esquimault harbor,

Captain Williams says: ''The
duty on oysters on the British side

admitted free. In addition to saving
the duty we will also save freight
charges which amount to 81 a hun

HAYDEN LAKE
SUMMER RESORT
Company to Expend 100000 in
improvements

Waldo G. Plain, traffic manager Of
the Occur d'Alene & Spokane Elec-
trio Railway, was visitor in the
city this morning, and while here
stated that the improvement eom-
pany recently formed, and which pur.
chased a large tract OF land at Hay
den lake with the idea of building a
summer resort Of first class nature,
would probably commence work near
the first OF the year and expend about
400, 900 in improvements.
Mr.. Paine stated that Mr.. Olmstead,
landscape gardner and architect, Of
the firm of 0lmstead & Olmstead, Of
Boston, Miss, would arrive from the
east during the month and afteria Wis
it to the proposed site would plan
out the grounds. Following this an
architect will be employed who will
turn out plans for the buildings to
be erected. Ground will be broken
as soon as Mr.. Olmstead's plans are
approved by the directors, and the
work will be forwarded with all pos
sible rapidity, with the expectation
Of having this model resort ready for
the arrival Of the summer visitors In
June.
The plans Of the company for this
miniature city, which will be christen-
ed, ''The Green City in the Pines, "
are not modest and border on lavish
extravaganza, for II Is the intention
of the company 10 make this place
"the spot" of the west. There viii
be a large boat house for the accomo.
dation of launches and rowboats. A
bath house such as Is found only on
the coasts or great lakes, will be plac
ed at convenient point IN the shore
Of the lake, with accommodations for
a large number Of people. There will
be an amusement pavilion with a
large dancing foor and other Rttrac
tions. A hotel is promised which
will be most sumptously furnished
and we'll appointed, with all the mod

Government to BuY Silver.

Washington, Dec. THE govern
ment today resumed the purchase of
silver, accepting bids for 1000 ounces
at SO. 500 cents per fine ounce. This
is more than 1-3 cents an ounce
lower than the offerings which were
made at the time purchases were sus-
pended nearly four weeks ago. The
large and increasing public demand
for subsidiary coins which could not
be met without additional purchases,
are the controlling reasons given by
the trea Jury officials for the resump-
ton. It is said by the treasury Off
cials that purchases will continue for
an indefinite time, the amount to
depend largely upon the prices asked.

HE SEES GOOD POINTS

''Tbere will be general disappoint-

sages when he discusses the army and
the navy as the surest guarantor OF
peace which this country possesses.
Shame upon the chief executive that
he should place an instrument of
brute force above the nations sense
of Justice as guarantor of peace.
The best guarantor of peace is our ma
TONS purpose to deal justly with

that the whole nation shall be keyed

Lincoln, Neb., Dec. Comment
ing on the presidents message viii
liam j. Bryan says there is much that
is good and much that is bad in it,
but it may be regarded as the presi-
dents most important state paper
Mr.. Bryan says:
The message contains much that
is democratic AMI for which the gen.
eral public may we'll thank him. 1t
contains some things that ought to
arouse severe criticism. The presi-
dent boldly appropriates some doc
trines which the democrats have been
advocating, but on the other hand, he
announces doctrines which are so alb
surd as to excite amusement If the
suggestions came FROM less promi-
nent source. In some cases he takes
advanced grounds; in some cases, he
retreats from ground already taken. "
Mr.. Bryan complains that what the
president says on the subject of gov
eminent by init notions will not be
satisfactory to the laboring man or to
those who respect the right of trial
by jury. The presidents stand on
child labor is commended, as is also
the position he takes on the eight
hour law and the right of the people
to critioise a judge.
Referring to Mr.. Rooseyelt's refer
ence to the Japanese question, Mr..
Bryan says:
He pays a deserved tribute to the
progress of the japanese nation and
asks for legislation which will enable
congress to preserve treaty rights OF
foreigners. That there should be
such legislation can not be generally
disputed, but a great deal depends
upon the character Of the legislation.
II any bills are presented in regard
TO this suggestion they must be care
tully scurtinized to be sure that they
do not deny to the various states the
right to protect themselves and their
people in matters purely local.
Finally, Mr.. Bryan deplores what
ne calls the presidents warlike latti-
uude. He says in conclusion:
