Some remarkable experiments ill solar observations are being conducted by the weather bureau at Mount Weather, in the Blue Ridge mountains near Elkins and Wetheville, Va. There is nothing anywhere in the world for measuring the different components of magnetic force that equals the precis- ion of the, instruments that have been installed at Mount Weather. They have cost $1O,OOO and it has taken three years to construct them, of which about one-third are mounted. At this station is also a kite shelter" It is a building twenty feet in diameter run ming on track. It rotates so that one side is open and the other closed. From the open side kites are dyed and bal. looms liberated by the scientists con nected with the station. When the plans of Prof Moore, chief of the weather bureau, are completed with respect to the station, and they will cost not less than s2OO, 900, the govern ment will have the most perfect set of apparatus that human ingenuity can devise for experimenting in these prob lens of aero-physics. The bureau is establishing at Mount Weather an in stitution that will enable its experts to determine whether it is possible for science to make prediction of the rain and the sunshine on the cotton belt or of the droughts over the corn belt for season in advance,

In discussing the ship subsidy propo.

In discussing the ship subsidy propo- sition the argument is often put. for ward that the reason why, it costs so much more to construct an iron steam ship in this country than it does abroad is because of the tariff on steel, which enables the steel trust to hold up the shipbuilders. This argument is not often heard in the halls of congress, for members of that body are better in formed, but Is frequently advanced by outsiders, especially newspapers who have not studied the subject, says our Washington correspondent. That the tarin on steel has practically noth- ing to do with the cost of American vessels when built for the foreign trade would he better understood if it were generally known that there is no tariff on iron and steel materials enter ing into the construction of vessels built for the foreign trade. All the steel plates, beams and angles and ma terials for the machinery can now be brought from abroad without duty. and thls has been the situation since the Mckinley tariff of 1890, yet no mer- chant vessels are being constructed in this country for foreign account and ownership" The truth is that tariff- free materials do not touch the root of the difficulty at all. If the iron and steel required in the making of the machinery to produce woolen or wor- sted fabrics were admitted free of duty. the privilege might be of some value if the manufacturer continued to receive protection on his finished goods against the low wages of his competitors in Europe. But if the ma terials entering into the machinery were free and if there were no protec- ton whatever on the finished product of the industry, it is not likely that there would be much demand for the free material machinery or that many l woolen or worsted mills would be in operation in this country. This is ex- sctiy the condition of the ocean ship building industry, the only unprotected industry which is constantly face tG face with very sharp foreign eompeti. ton. The materials of the ship are free. as free as law esh make them. But few free materials are imported and no ships are built because the ship owner corresponding to the woolen Or vorsted manufacturer has no protec tion from his government against the cheap wage. or the subsidies of for eisn lands.

WHAT ADMIRAL TOGO SAYS.
Victor of Great Fight on Sea of Japan Says His Coantry Must Fora ever Maintain Its Naval
 SupRemacy.

4 WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-President Roosevelt addressed to the secretary of war, who promulgated the same in a i general order, a letter Geestins sthe achievements of the Japanese admiral, Togo, during the late war between Japan and Russia, and repeating for the benefit of American soldiers and sailors the address issued by that ad- miral upon the conclusion of the war. The point of the presidents letter is the necessity of keeping the personnel of the army and navy at the highest pitch in time of peace In order to be prepared for war.
 The presidents letter is in part as follows:
 Tn the recent var in the cast Admi- ral Togo took his place, among the great sea fighters of all time. His mes sage to the united squadron which he commanded, on the occasion of it's dis persal at the close of the war, is so noteworthy that I deem it proper to have it inserted in 2 general order of the department.
 q commend Admiral Tego's address to every man who is a part of the fighting force of the United States and to every man who believes that if ever, unhappily, war should come it should be so conducted as to reflect credit upon the American people.' s4'
 The portion of the address of Admi- ral Togo quoted by the president is as follows: rN
 The war of twenty months dura- ton is now a thing of the past, and our united squadron. having completed it's functions, Is to be herewith dispersed. But our duties as naval men are not at all frightened for that reason. To preserve in perpetuity the fruits of this war, to promote to an ever greater height of prosperity the fortunes of the country, the navy, which irrespective of peace or war has to stand between the empire and shocks from abroad must always maintain its strength al sea and must be prepared to meet any emergency.
 'This strength does not consist sole ly in ships and armament. It consists also In material ability to utilize such agents. When we understand that one gun that scores 100 per cent of hits is q match for . hundred of the sn emy's guns each of which scores enl. per cent 1t becomes evident that wt sailors must have recourse before ev erything to the strength which is ovel and above externals.
 When in ancient times we conquered Korea that country remained over 4os ! years under our control. only to b' lost immediately so soon as our nav, declined. Again when under the sval ef the Tckusawa in modern days ou srmsments were neglected. the eomini of c few American ships threw us int z distress .- --On the other hand. the Brifieh navy | which ven the battles of the Nile an, of Trafalgar. not only made Engian' as secure ss . great mountain. bn slso by theneeferth carefully main tsinIng its strength and keeping 1t el e level with the worlds progress hs | safexuarded thst eountry's interest l and promoted it's fortunes for nor than hundred yesrr"

70 ardu0us. Butt i've make 70 mRny blunders, we are % ready to leave undone what We ought to do, and to do what we ought not to do. that our children have pretty hard time in their turn. Somehow they scramble up in spite of our mistakes. Heredity has good deal to do with their sue. cess or failure. It is a great thing for child to have had worthy grand parents. Training tells, too, but only as we train ourselves do we ever sue ceed in training our successors arignt. Little Lilly and Josephine may be told all day long that it makes no difference how they look if only they behave we'll, but if mamma be vain and in considerate they will probably copy her rather than obey her precepts. Jack and Horace will not have hner ideals of honor than their father. l have heard the father of five sons, be- tween the ages of four and 14. relate with positive glee, story Of gains that he had made through overreach' ing another in a business transaction. The little pitchers had big ears. They drank in the shameful tale. It would be too much to expect that later on they should so forth into life with . noble standard and high ideal of in. tegrity.
 T don't care what sort of men my boys make. so long as they learn to make money and keep it." said an- other father in the hearing of his sons. Not one of those boys turned out even decently, when he arrived at manhood. To, make money and to keep 1t is too low an ideal to be set before grow. ing youth.
 Look out for the little pitchers. It is worth while.

GOOD WORK OF WOMEN.

The women's clubs of Spokane
have offered a cash prize of $50 for
the best article, interview, essay or
narrative on inland empire history by
any person not a student of a college
~ or normal school.
The assay may be of any length
over 1900 words, and on any subject
chosen. so it deals with inland en-
plre history, and gives facts-fiction
does not go.
This is an opportunity for high
school students to try their ability at
historical writing. 1t will not only
offer a stlmulant in way of a prize,
but it will also encourage the study
of northwest history, a subject now
too much neglected in the northwest.
The most delightful period of north
west history was from 1924. about
the beginning of Fort Vancouver, 10
1864, the beginning of settlement in
the interior of the inland empire.
During those 40 years thrilling his
tory was enacted on every foot of this
great basin between the Rocky and
Cascade mountains. Many pioneers
of that halcyon period are still living
and hold in their memories unwritten
history which will be priceless to fu-
.ture generations.

When this is done, there is nc

The committee presents figures to
show the need of the portage. A few
rates below and above the portage
are az follows:
Sugar, carload lots, Portland to The
Dalles. IS miles, with river competi-
tion, 50 per ton.
Sugar. carload lot. Portland to UNA
talla, 1877 miles, without river COM
petition, 5000. 1t costs $3.50 to
carry a ton of sugar 80 miles from
The Dalles to Umatilla, while the
same ton is carried from Portland to
The Dalles, IS miles for but 50.
These figures are sufficient to con-
vince the people of the urgent need
of the portage road and river trans
portation.
The freight rate on canned goods
from Portland to The Dalles, with
river competition, IS miles, is but So;
from Portland to Umatilla the rate
is 5000. The consumer in the in

profit in higher prices for this class
of goods.
