Mr.. Bryan's Commoner condemns the
plan of a permanent tariff commission
as "only part Of the effort to pre-
vent a revision of the tariff" In this
the Commoner is mistaken. The commits
sion plan is favored by the revisionists
and opposed by the "stand-patters.'
The revisionistS favor 1t because they
are able thereby to gain the assent of
some manufacturers who otherwise
would resist tariff disturbance or hurt
full to business. The ''stand-patters"
oppose it because they know it to be
utterly impracticable to secure nom
partisanship in tariff commission. A
bipartisan commission would have no
weight with Congress or with the coun-
try 1t would be less useful and more
of a nuisance than the fifth wheel of
a coach. But 1t is waste Of time to
argue the matter. Congress will never
accept the tariff commission PLAN

What Germany wouldn't Have Done.

something over $26,OOO.OOO in excess of
what we bought in 1906. The exact
figures are. for 1907. S161, 544.552: for
1906, S135, 1896 Yet the level-head-
ed American people are asked TO be-
lieve that Germany was prepared to
jeopardize nearly s162. 100000 of trade
by enforcing hostile tariff discrim-
nation against the products of the
United States, and that in order to
avert that disaster to our exports we
were compelled to surrender to Ger
many our tariff making autonomy
That Is pure bosh! Germany never had
the slightest intention of endangering
that trade Of S162.OOOO00 by inviting
tariff reprisals. Anybody with an ounce
of brains ought to know better than to
suppose it. Germany put out her bluff
as an experiment, and our government

Timber cruisers have been sent

The land included in the deal

NEWPORT WAVES.

And Few Observations Thrown
INA Visit to the Lighthouse.
Camp Content, Nye Greek, Or
Aug. 12, 1907.
ED. GAZETTEER,
Have you ever made the trip
from Nye Creek to the lighthouse
at Cape Foulweather, on a windy
day, going by beach as far as
possible and then climbing up
steep bluffs to the trail on top of
the mountain, hanging bv the
skin of your teeth to the face of
a cliff while 200 feet below you
the old Pacific dashed and roared? ?
If not, you have missed a rare
experience in life and one that,
once eoae through, is enough to
satisfy even the most exacting,
providing the wind is almost a
hurricane, as 1t was today, and
the sand and dirt filled eyes and
hair as you clung frantically to
your head gear and forged ahead.
Leaving camp at $40 this fore
noon FIVE of US made the trip
along the beach, reaching the
government domain at Io:45. En-
route we spent much time watch
ing the maneuvers of large
school of whales that have been
living close in to shore for week.
They are after the herring which
are running now, and the antics
of these monsters is one of the
sights of the beach that is really
worth seeing. Today, several
whales were so close to the beach
that we could see them as plainly
as we could any object SO feet
away. With big puff they
continually threw the fore part of
their bodies out of the water, and
man on the bluff fired several
shots at them, two of which
caused the whales to send up big
shower of spray as they dashed
away.
Reaching the lighthouse one
is requested to register, and then
begins the ascent of the iron
spiral stairway that leads to the
top of the high tower. Up, up:
up one goes, and finally stands
by the side of the immense light
that throws it rays 19 miles out
to sea, night after night, warning
passing vessels of the dangers
that lurk inland. "The tower
shak when the wind blows a
gale" said the man who watches
the light; but when ask if the
task did not grow burdensome,
especially in the winter, he repli-
ed, mo, for there is plenty to do
to keep me busy all the time"
This light is huge brass lamp
of 500 candle power, surrourded
by a glass reflector on all sides,
THE prisms SO arranged that the
rays of light are focused and con-
centrated in such a manner that
they are thrown out 1o miles to

is 81 feet from the base to the

oil of fine quality is used for the
lamp. Everything about the

scrupulously clean, and thu
government employees are polite
