A Deep Water Way.

Washington-"A navigable depth of
water in the Mississippi from Mime
apolis to its mouth, sufficient to carry
heavy freights, is bound to come in
the future, near or remote" said F.
H. Newell, chief of the reclamation
service.
Mr. Newell is a member of the in
land waterways commission, members
of which recently made an inspection
of the Mississippi from st. Paul to it's
mouth, part of the time being with
President Roosevelt
'"The time when the deep waterway
project is approved by congress de-
pends upon getting the people inter
ested," continued Mr.. Newell. "Of
course, the people residing in the
country Immediately contiguous to
the great river are enthusiastically for
the project. I mean that other peo-
pie should be informed as to the value
of making the river available for traf-
&c along It's entire length"

"But to turn 20 another phaSv OF,
modern conditions. You Ia your
materialistic progress have siven the
Orient implements of destruction,
while through all the ages we gave
you naught but peace. These weap.
ons of warfare the Oriental, imper-
sonated by the Japanese, turned upon
the Russian, and the result was war
the like of which is unknown in his
tory-not single reverse for the men
of Nippon. Those same Japanese, with
reawakened China even greater than
Japan, and India at the back of both,
are going to show the world conflict
that will make all others pale in COM
parison.
America wants totexploit the whole
world, but would shut out foreigners
from her borders. Is it not likely that
foreign nations will retaliate? And
then what answer can America make?
THE Mikado is one of the greatest
rulers any nation has produced in
modern times. When, ten years be-
fore the war with Russia, Japan was
deprived of the fruits of her victory
over China by the European powers
the Mikado said nothing, but complied
with apparently good grace. Then he
quietly prepared to punish Russia as
the most hated of those powers.
Future events will come about in
this way: President Roosevelt will
suggest to Japan that an exclusion
treaty be signed preventing Japanese
of the lower classes from entering
America This will not meet with
favor on the other side of the Pacific,
but storm will arise here which will
force through congress some sort of
an exclusion measure.
'The Mikado will still hold his
peace, but soon after he will frame
message to be sent to Washington,
reading something like this:
"'You have found it necessary for
the protection of your working classes
to exclude Japanese from your borders.
After careful consideration we find
that our country will be benefited by
prohibiting the entry of American
trade, and a decree is hereby promul-
gated
What could America do but ac-
cede, at least for the time? Yet how
could such condition continue? The
great conflict is coming, and while
hate to think of it, while regret that
peace cannot always prevail, still, the
people of many countries will be bene-
fitted and those of my own India will
be free.
''This seems harsh prophecy to
make upon leaving America for all
time, but it is something neither you
nor 1 can control. 1t is the newt
able."-N Y. Herald.

Interesting Items Gathered In the
G0pkaess State
Mystery Cleared Up.

Duluth-The mysterious disappear.
ence of Fred Peterson of Two Harbors
year ago has been cleared up, but
just how he came to his death may
never be known.
The skeleton of man lying beside
the skeleton of a buck deer was
found in the woods between the Split
Rock and the Gooseberry rivers, and
from some articles found in the cloth
ing 1t is believed that the disappear
ance Of Peterson has been solved. The
rifle that Peterson carried has also
been identified. The weapon lay near
the skeleton.
The mystery now is, How did Peter
son get killed? Had he killed the
deer and was he packing it out of
the woods, and was himself mistaken
for deer and shot? Did Peterson
wound the deer whose skeleton lay
on the ground, and did the animal
attack and kill him? The theory of
people who have investigated the case
is that the buck, after being wounded,
had attacked and slain the hunter.

scramble. America Is ahlicted with
national nervousness, as call it. In
certain directions you call it frenzied
finance. I see it in every phase Of
life. l observe it where you do not
suppose it exists.
In India religion is the chief busi-
ness of life. All else is subordinate.
1t is the true anchor of the Hindu. In
the morning he arises, and after his
bath he gives up two hours to spirit
ual thought and contemplation-at
least two hours. Then he looks after
the needs of his body. All else is sub
ordinate to this reverence for the
Creator and those things which typify
and represent Him.
Christianity Sublime.
christianity, in it's teachings, is
sublime. l preach Christ as much as
l do my Krishna, who represents to
me the great incarnation of God. God
is love, as Christ says, and that is all
there is to any religion. The Bible,
which 1 respect and love, is merely a
page from the Vedas of India. They
contain all its truths, and more.
But you can see only your own
religion. / can see the good of all.
When l became an ascetic in India
lost my nationality and became citi-
zen of the Universe. l love al, people.
When l was in London, even, 1 felt a
deep heart interest in the Briton,
even though he is depressing my peo-
pie.
Il did not come to America TO thrust
my religion upon you. l came to ad-
vance spirituality in whatever form l
find it. Yet you send your mission
aries to convert us. We cannot help
but smile, when we are the very in
carnation of religion ourselves. With
your religion, which is constantly
changing, altering with the currents
of new thought, you seek to rejuven-
ate us, who are fastened inseparably
to the great, deep truths of the uni
verse; truths which know no muta-
ton.
1--WE wonder how we ever got along
without the helping hand of the New
World missionaries.
But the truth did come out not long
ago, and now we know why your mis-
sionaries do come to visit us. Some
one close to your richest man declared
that missionaries are the best trade
getters. There again your CONNER
cialism!
"The wine maker calls out: I have
the best wines!' The soap maker
calls out: My soap is the best!' The
minister: There is no religion like

is reduced to commercially.

dollar state" for the first time in its
history. Last year the real estate
assessment of Minnesota was $685.
$4,000. The tax commission has
added s121, 100000 in one lump, on

estate, for tracts added to the tax
rolls and for improvements, add an
other three or four millions to the
total, bringing the real estate valua-
ton up to $87S,000.00 in round num-
bers. Personal property was in
creased about $5,00O,OO0 this year, and
without deducting the exemptions will
reach S190,000,000. bringing the total
for taxable property in the state to
s1,06S, 100000. Even deducting the ex-
emptions the figure will be at least
$50,O00,000 in excess Of billion dol

TESTIF|ES AGAINST HERMANN
Meldrum Tells Facts OF the Alleged
Land Fraud Conspiracy.

Binger Hermann spent his last days
of service as congressman from Oregon
in Washington courtroom on trial for
the destruction of letter press copy
books, listening to the sensational tes
timony of Henry Meldrum, former sur
veyor general of Oregon. who detailed
the facts of the conspiracy between
himself, Hermann and State Senator
franklin Pierce Mays of Portland, in
Meldrum's Office at Oregon City. for
the selection of Hermann, then com
missioner OF the general land Office, of
school lands to be included III the
Blue mountain forest reserve Of eastern
Oregon.
The evidence created intense excite
ment. His story was straightforward.
Meldrum swore Hermann urged him
to buy school lands to be included in
the reserve, from which be could make
a large sum Of money. The lands
bought from the state cost $l.25 an
acre, for which when included in the
forest reserve, the government would
give script good for any unappropriated
timber land in the country. Senator
Fulton, as witness, identified letter
which involves Hermann as early as
1899 in attempting to procure the dis
missal of land fraud cases against
friends.

WEALTH IN COAST SANDS
Platinum and Magnetic Iron Found
In Oregon and California

A report says the Portland Journal,
has beer made by DIR. David I. Day,
r. FL. Richards and g. H. Clevenger
on an elaborate series of experiments
recently made in Portland with the
black sands of the Pacific coast and
other regions of the United States, for
the purpose of separating them from
gold, platinum and other precious
metals and for the making Of iron and
steel from the black sands Of the lower
Columbia river region.
While the experiments were carried
on under great difficulty, and with
scant equipment, it has been conclu-
sively proven by the tests made that if
the heavy sands that are now lying
useless in Oregon and California alone
were saved, and that if only two-thirds
of the platinum shown to be in the
samples were saved from these sands,
the total production of platinum from
these two states would exceed the pres
ent total consumption in the United
States.
Free transportation was given by
the Southern Paiic. the Astoria & Co
lumbia River railroad, the Northern
Pacific and the o. r. 81 N. lines, max
ing it possible for the experimenters
to collect and examine many tons of
placer sands in .Garlots, and determine
the efficiency of several concentrating
machines loaned for the tests
1t has been shown by the tests that
considerable supplies of magnetic iron
can be obtained by magnetic concen-
tration at low cost at various points
on the Oregon beach, and in still
waters at the mouths of rivers. Blast
furnace coke of good quality is not yet
made on this coast, but it has been
established that the iron eau be smell
ted economically by electriity, which
can he oheaply produced here owing to
the great water power.
