higher ideals is the conservatism OF
the people. They do not oppose rlcnes
honestly acquired, but they do object
to special privileges out OF Which
tainted riches grow. They encourage
legitimate industry and are not IN
friendly to corporations that obey the
laws, but they demand that corpora
tons, even the greatest, obey the laws
lust like anyone else. The agitation
against ill-gotten gains does not mean
a rabid socialism or the destruction
of the vested rights of anyone. inc
man who would retard legitimate In
dustrial developments is as much a
public enemy as he who would OPP
press the people beneath the golden
heel of monopoly. The cry is not tor
socialism or anarchy, but that the
corporation magnate respect the law
that governs the conduct of the cor
poration as he asks others to respect
the law that protects the property Oh
the COrpOTdLlOu. lhO ohNASN
ital breeding lawlessness is no more r,
TO be tolerated than the anarchy "
labor breeding riot and disorder. Tnii
government does not rest either upol
the Idle rich nor the idle poor, pu'
upon the energy and patriotism OF tn
middle classes This is the class tina
suffers under the reign Of the specla
privileges. Men may acquire wealt y

WRITES OF KOREAN CUSTOMS

is of red, blue or green If he is not In
mourning, but mourning seems TO be
a permanent occupation In Korea. 1t
was explained to us that white is the
color used for mourning, and that the
mourning period lasts.
The women, except of the coolie
class, are seldom seen on the street
in the daytime, and the men are not
allowed on the street at night, or
were not until western ways began to
invade the island. Even when going
out the women wear over their heads
a green cape with scarlet sleeves and
draw 1t across the face in such a way
that little more than the eyes can be
seen.
The streets of Seoul and of the
towns through which we passed were
full of men, many of them walking
about in a leisurely way or standing
in groups smoking long pipes. Mingl-
ed with them were coolies carrying
immense packs on their backs or
leading ponies, oxen or COWS laden
with hay, wood or fagots. We saw
more idle men in two days in Korea
than we saw in Japan in a month.
While the coolies seem to be quite
industrious and carry astonishing
weights, there seems to be a deep
rooted contempt for labor even among
the middle classes, and a contractor
told us that in the employing of
coolies it was necessary to pay them
every day because a weeks compen-
sation would have to be spent before
they would return to work.
The Korean houses are entirely diff
ferent from those of Japan. They are
not so high, nor so large, but are more
warmly built. They are usually con-
structed of stone set in mud and have
poorly thatched roofs of straw; occa-
sionally tile is used. Often the earth
supplies the floor except for the lit
tie sleeping rooms which have floors
of stone covered with oiled paper.
These rooms are heated by flues un-
der the floors which conduct the
flame and smoke to the chimney
which opens on the side of the house.
Leaves, fagots, coarse grass and all
sorts of trash are used for fuel and
these stone floors, heated twice day,
keep the small rooms quite comfor-
table.
The people sit on the floor as in
Japan, except that they sit cross-leg-
ged instead of sitting on the feet, and
sleep on mats spread on the floor at
night and slowed away during the
day.

FOR UPPER RIVER.
Steamer W. T.. Todd To Ply Between
Kennewick and White Bluffs.

on tomorrow, Friday, the new
steamer w. r. Todd, which is being
built on the upper Columbia river,
will be launched and placed I'm serv-
ice between Kennewick and White
Bluffs. a stretch of 60 miles into the
inland empire on which no CONNER
cial vessel has ever ventured. Craft
have been taken up there on two or
three different occasions In order that
information might be secured con
cerning the depth of the channel, but
they never carried passengers or
freight.
The w. Il. Todd is the name by
which the old steamer Jerome has
been christened. Early last fall the
latter was wrecked and sunk and
afterward her hull came drifting
ashore near Homely rapids, the scene
of the accident. Some of the mater
ial in the old boat was used in the
construction of the Todd. which is
much larger, however. She Is lO7 y
feet long, Is feet across the beam
and can handle 14O tons of freight.
The vessel will be operated on the
upper river in connection with the
Mountain Gem, owned by the open
River Navigation company, which will
be kept I'm service between Cello an l
other points far above the mouth Of
the Snake.
When the river gets at higher
stage the Gem will run clear through
to Lewiston. With both of these ves-
sells running on regular schedule
and one of them invading a portion
of the country which has not hitherto
been touched by steamer, local river
men say there is no doubt that they
will get all of the traffic they can
possibly handle.
All of the freight originating in
that section lying between Kennewick
and White Bluffs has been hauled to
the railroads by teams. It was form
erly n sagcbrush country, but recently
has been fairly well irrigated and di-
versified crops are raised. As there
were no transportation facilities, it is
said the section has not prospered as
otherwise would have been the case.
A small gasoline launch makes occa-
sional trips up that way. 1t is said
that the channel is as wide and deep
as in any other part of the upper Co.
lumbia. Local river men say they are
surprised that no steamer has ever
been placed in service on that stretch
of the Columbia.

JEHU SW|TzLER TELLS Of INDIAN BATTLE

the third party that entered the block
house with me was the one that ac-
companied Williams in search of
was the one. Mr.. Williams broke
into the Griswald house and soon
handed me a dishpan filled with fresh
doughnuts which / carried to our
waiting companions. Williams soon
came with a boiled ham and the feast
was spread. While we were searching
for the food those in the blockhouse
watched with guns in hand, ready to
defend US from all danger. We had
no water that night.
Darkness came and with II renew
ed activity on the part of the Indians
and redoubled vigilance and hardship
for those in the blockhouse.
Bull Dog Saved the Fort.
The Indians attempted TO burn us
out that night and would have sue
ceeded, no doubt, If it had not been
for a vicious bull dog that would
rush out into the darkness growing
and barking furiously at every APP
preaching Indian, and in that way
directed our fire; with the aid of this
dog we succeeded in keeping them at
so great distance from the building
that 1t was impossible for them to set
the fire. The dog undoubtedly saved
us from destruction that night.
On the second day of the siege Mr..
Williams and another member of the
little garrison whose name | do not
now remember, under the guns of the
others( broke into saloon and
while no water was to be procured.
returned with dozen bottles of port
and some other liquors, which an
swered as very acceptable substi-
tute for water, end allaying the thirst
Of the weary men in the house. The
second day and night was repetition
of the first and relief came on the
morning Of the third day of the siege.
We had been almost constantly under
fire and were exhausted when relief
came.
The guns, ammunition, ETC., left by
me at the Upper Cascades had not
been there over an hour or two when
the attack was made at that point
and the terrible struggle that ensued
and the valiant defense made by the
settlers from the Bradford & Co.
store, was made possible only by
means thereof.
