SNAKE RIVER is RISING.

hood of a High Stage.

Yesterday the Snake river register
ed three and two-tenths feet above low
water mark, says the Lewiston Tri-
bune. The mild weather Of the past
week has started the snow melting in
the foothills and it is reported that
many of the small mountain streams
flowing into the Snake and Clear
water rivers are on rampage.
Parties from near the headwaters
of the Asotin creek state that a heavy
wind occurred in that section the first
Of the week, accompanied by rain
which melted the snow very RAPIDLY
and the bare ground can now be seen
in many places which a few days be-
fore were covered by several inches OF
snow. Reports also come from the
prairie country and upper Clearwater
that the snow is disappearing and a
further rise in the rivers may be
| looked for.

22.OOO-TON BATTLESHIP.
Effort May BE Made to Rival Eng.
lands Record Breaker.

Washington, Feb. 26.-In the dis
cussion by the naval experts concern
ing the designs of the battleship or
several battleships to be authorized
at the present session of congress,
there is already observed difference
of opinion concerning the displace-
ment.
The general board is in favor and
has urgently recommended a dis
placement of $4,000 tons, as compar-
ing with the 16,000-ton displacement
plan, which is considered inferior to
battleships of more recent design now
under construction by Great Britain,
France and Russia. 1t is believed
however, that the 1000 tons addition
al displacement recommended by the
general board is not sufficient; at
least, such an opinion is expressed
by certain naval officers, including
Rear Admiral Capps, the chief con-
structor of the navy. 1t is pointed
out that II the displacement of the
new battleship Is to be increased II
might as well be made 10000 tons
II is considered that the 1000 tons
extra will not give the benefit OF
speed and increased battery which
will compensate for the extra cost OF
the enlargement.
1t is evident that the discussion oi
this point will be most interesting and
that out of the agitation will develop
battleship in this country, which
will surpass in size, speed. protection
and armament anything of the same
class designed or building abroad
Each year these advances in battle
ship designs have been considered as
marking the end of their develop
ment, but each year some new feat.
ure has been adopted so that 1t is con-
sidered the development of the bat
tleship has by no means terminated
The matter is still under consider
alton by the naval authorities and &
is expected that even after a definit,
decision has been reached, the figh
over the tonnage may be carried righ
into congress.

Washington, Feb. 26.-An interest
ing report on the salmon fisheries of
Alaska has just been issued by the
department of commerce and labor.
Howard NJ. Kutchin the agent who
prepared the report, did some trav-
cling, according to his report, while
on the assignment. Says he: II left
Washington May 2S, and between
that time and my return, travelled
S2i7 miles by sea and 1872 by land,
a total of 1909. Time speant aboard
ship was 81 days. About $50 miles
were covered In launch and small
boat.
although the salmon pack at
some fisheries of Alaska shows fall
ing Off the pack of the world for
this year was nearly a million and
a half cases greater than last. The
total number of canneries in oper-
alton this year was ~, against 90 In
1904. There were 22 salteries,
against Is last season. The number
OF firms or individuals engaged in the
business is 43, against 40 in 1904. The
aggregate capital stock employed IN
the business is s11,371, $50, being a
decrease in this item of s2,575,350
from the reported capitalization of
last year.
This reduction is largely accounted
for by the withdrawal from the field
of the Pacific Packing & Navigation
company. which represented u capi-
tai of $3,00O,OO0 The Northwestern
Fisheries company, which succeeded
TO the ownership of the major part
of its business, is capitalized at ST.
100000. The value of plants is plac-
ed at s5,72S,97S, being s156,S7S less
than last year, which is due to the
fact that number of canneries are
idle and are not taken account of.
"The seasons pack foots up 1889
O15 cans and 1851 barrels together
with 7,565,0O9 pounds of dry-salted
fish. In 1904 the aggregate was
l,953.745 cases and 15,407. Being
reduced to cases, the figures are q
O59,119 for 1905 against 2.012,92S in
1904. While there is actually loss
of 64,731 cases of canned salmon
the total output for the year shows
a gain of the equivalent of 46,191
cases, which is explained by the large
increase of salted and dry-cured fish
The total value OF the product
amounts to s6.56S,655 against 81
735,7S2 last year."

enlarged machine shop, containing
the modern facilities for repairing
ships. This will give the dock the
value Of miniature navy yard, with
the additional advantage of being
able to proceed from place to place
and save the time of ships which are
needed in certain localities.
Naval strategists have come to re-
alize that the floating dock is an inn

fighting ships greater value on the

RECENT BIG SALES OF WHEAT
Downward Tendency in Price, and
Taxes Are Due.

The purchase of nearly 250,0O0
bushels of wheat by dealers and mill
men of Walla Walla county during
the past 10 days on the average basis
of 61 cents for club and 62 cents for
bluestem, is one of the most import
ant commercial events for some
time.
The recent sales are attributed to
the continued downward tendency in
price. as well as the fact that it is
now nearly tax time and farmers who
have interest, warehouse charges, in
surance and taxes to pay desire to un-
load as there is no indication of an
immediate change for the better in
price.-Dayton Courier-Press.

THE IDEAL WIFE
Shapes the Destiny of Men-The Influence of q
Healthy Woman Cannot Be Overestimated.

Seven-eighths of the
men in this world marry
a woman because she is
beautiful in their eyes
because she has the quail
ties which inspire admira-
ton, respect and love.
There is a beauty in
health which is more at
tractive to men than mere
regularity of feature.
The influence of women
glorious in the possession
of perfect physical health
upon men and upon the
civilization of the world
could never be measured.
Because of them men have
attained the very heights
Of ambition; because of
them even thrones have
been established and de-
stroyed.
What a disappointment,
then, to see the fair young
wife's beauty fading away
before a year passes over
her head! A sickly, half
dead-and-alive woman,
especially when she is
the mother of a family,
is a damper to all joyous
ness in the home, and a
drag upon her husband.
The cost of a wife's con-
slant illness is a serious
drain upon the funds of a

Morris will certainly have sewer
built this summer.
At the adjourned meeting Of the
city council on Wednesday evening,
the report of the sewer committee
was read by Chairman L. G. Spooner,
and the report was unanimously
adopted by the council
The committee, however, was not
discharged, bat were askad to cor
tinue to act with the council on the
suggestion of city attorney Ormond.
The next step in getting a sewer IS
to have Engineer Wolff prepare de-
tailed plans and specifications. This
will be done as soon as contract is
made with Mr.. Wolff, the details of
which were left with the committee to
arrange.
The committee was given vote of
thanks for the excellent work they
have done.
Morris, Minnesota, Feb. IA, 1906.
To the Hon. Common Council Of the
City of Morris, Minnesota.
Gentlemen:
AS your committee on sewerage for
the City of Morris, We beg to report
as follows:
The scope of our authority has
never been definitely disclosed to us;
but We have proceeded upon the pre-
sumption that We We're appointed to
investigate and empowered to deter
mine what system of sewerage will be
best adapted to, and will best serve
the Immediate as we'll as the future,
needs of the city of Morris; also,
taking into consideration the finan-
cial ability of the city of Morris TO
undertake the immediate construction
of any system of sewerage therein,
the feasibility of the city undertaking
the construction thereof; and also,
approximately, the cost of the con-
struction thereof: and in that rela
ton, at the beginning of our inyes-
tigation. the city recorder delivered
to us the plans and Specifications en-
bracing and illustrating the system
Of sewerage long hitherto expressly
devised for the city of Morris by
Civil Engineer Sublette, for examlna-
ton and investigation, of which, at
the beginning of this report, We wish
to say that the Sublette system, re-
io6 &c m IN U
known as the combined sewer system
"a system which undertakes to take
care of not only the sewage OF the
whole city. but also all of the surface
or waste water Of the whole city;
and also undertakes, at the same
time. to take care of all OF the storm
water (rain and snow which at any
fine falls (or collects, anywhere Or
upon any part of the whole city;
ard TO bring the same, all of the
same including all Of the sewage, to
common center-Atlantic Avenue
and to main sewer to be therein
constructed into which to empty the
came and thru which to take the
cape TO an outlet thereof to be To-
Gated nearly six thousand feet (oyer
mile) southWardly from the begin |
ming of such main sewer: and we
think it well here also to say, for in
the case of the city of Morris, by I
reason Of the relation Of the surface
af the city Of Morris to considerable !
adjacent territory not included within
the plated portions Of the city OF
Morris. that such a system OF sewer
