The United States In the Pacific An
Australian View.

(Sydney Evening News, Aug. 30)
Everything being held to be fair in
love, war, and politics, it would be
reasonable to attach some amount of
credence to the cabled statement that
President Roosevelt is sending the fleet
to the Pacific in order to win the sup
port of the Pacific Coast States in the
next Presidential election. A drama
tic waving of the Big Stick. which
has become the symbol of the Pres
ident's strenuous methods, or an OPP
perfume scream from the great Amer
lean Eagle, would no doubt mean
many votes to the Republican party
next November, but there is really no
need to look for such an explanation
of the dispatch of the fleet. Through
out the whole of the incident with
Japan over the agitation in California
the attitude of President Roosevelt mas
been absolutely correct" Had he
stopped to use his high office for party
ends he could have made considerable
capital out of the affair. But the
President has given no aid or en-
eoura cement to the foolish Jingoism
that began to show itself, and, as to
the fleet, it is claimed that the send
ing of it was the outcome OF long
considered plans. The actual text OF
the Presidents pronouncement, as re-
ported by the New York Worlds cor
respondent at oyster Bay, was, winnie
maneuyers, for the battleships nave
been under discussion for some tlme'
the matter, has nothing whatever TO
do with the japanese question. Inc
scheme is simply to find out IN what
particulars, if any, our battIesnlps
NAV he defective. The President mas
not considered the Japanese question
&c being at all serious, and mas NOT
for that reason issued any orders TOT
the mobilization of a fleet IN the ia
cffic. The present plan of the Navy
is m have the battleships leave on a
cruise early in the Fall. They may
or RI the Pacific. Their destination
hos NOT vet been determined. WHAT

fact too portentous and CALLING not to
have caused some hard thinking which
must soon be reflected in the national
naval policy. In the meantime, while
adequate schemes are no doubt matur-
ing, it was desirable that the war
vessels should show their PAGES on
the western coast. The United States
has to face the problem of sea-power
in the Pacific. And it would seem,
therefore, that the dispatch of the fleet
is but the first item of long pro-
gram which, especially after the con-
struction of the Panama Canal, will
place the Republic on even terms with
any other power in the Pacific. In
view of this probable development OF
naval policy, it is hard to believe that
the movement started by the New
York Herald in favor of the sale OF
the Philippines to Japan or any other
power can have any effect. 1t IS true
that the islands have given an enor-
nous amount of trouble, and many
Americans may think them not worth
holding. In the light of experience,
the battle of Manila Bay may have
been a mistake, and it might have
been better to leave Spain in possess
sion But a great nation cannot drop
a bad investment SO easily, nor Is II
possible to put up seven millions or
people and their country to auction
Just because they are not so docile or
their land not quite so profitable as
their rulers might wish. If the is
landers were reasonably capable OF
self-governrnent the difficulty would
be solved, but that is not the case,
and consequently the United States
must stick to it's task, and make the
best it can of that portion of "the
white mans burden" Yet it may be
that Japan looks longingly at those
islands with their splendid resources
mostly undeveloped, and peopled by
races of the same Malay stock that
went TO the making of Japan itself
The possession of the islands would
mean much, both industrially ana
strategically. They are very rich in
timber. and might be developed agr1-.
culturallv to a wonderful extent, as
the rubber. sisal, minerals, petroleum
and other products. would be invalu-
able for the growing manufacturing
interests of Japan. But Japan can
NOT take. and it would be against the
honor. prestige, and ultimate interest
of the United States TO relinquish.

IN MUDwAsP DAYS.

July and August.)
Where all good people come from,
In the land of cold and snakes.
There are days in summer when f

Warm enough to fry hot-cakes.
In that land of cloud and lightning.
Where the poles and tropics meet.
You viii find midsummer dog-days
Trimmed with sultry days of heat.
Then the boys all go in swimming.
And the girls dress up in white,
And the time it's cool, it isn't;
In the middle of the night.
In Hawaii, where the weather
Does not even have a name,
Where it's never cold in wint..r
And where summer is the same
There is not single dog-day,
And the frog-a-doodle band
Doesn't croak its mournful music
Through the borders of the land
But instead, the mudwasps gather
Like the Scottish clans or old,
Carrying through the days of summer
Tons of dirty mud and mold.
Selling all your books and pamphlets
Filling keyholes in the door,
Daubing stalactitic figures
On the ceilings where they soar.
With a buzzing, busy murmur
To and from the ditch they fly;
Though you kill about hundred
Others follow merrily.

Saddest time of all the year!

They Do" and ':They DOn't."

Three Mormon missionaries are
making a tour of the city, and
endeavoringto impress npon our
citizens, particularly the ladies'
whom they find at their homes,
and wherever they viii find one
that will listen to their tale of
woe, that they are a much abus-
ed people and have been sorely
misrepresented. Tuesday morn
ing three of them were visiting
residences in the western part of
the city. At residence where
tney called, the lady of the house
engaged them in CONVEX sation
and succeeded in getting con-
siderable information from
them. In answer to a question
addressed to him by the lady as
to whether the Mormon church
believed in polygamy, he said it
did and advocated it among its
people. When asked if he
believed in it, he said he did,
believed it was every mans duty
to raise a large family, as that
was pleasing in the sight Of God.
He said: Il want to resite an
instance as to why polygamy is
right. Suppose there were but
two men in Wieser, the remain
der of the population being wo-
men, would you not believe those
men would be doing right if they
took care of those women and
their families. F"
1t is surprising that people will
allow these men to visit
their homes and advocate such
doctrine. 1t was the claim Of
the democrats and non-Mormon
republicans that the Mormon
churcn did practice and advocate
polygamy. The Mormons denied
this, but their missionaries
whom they send out to secure
converts to their religion tell the
people that they do practice and
advocate it. What more evidence
do the people want. -Weiser

Young Indians Get Gay.

Two young Indians of the Nez
Perce tribe came into town Tues
day and proceeded to load up on
LIQUOR procured here in some
way after which they started
riding around the upper end of
town and firing off their reVolv-

Marshal Baker at once started
to round them up and fired sew

effect. One of the Indians then
managed to get safely out OF

Method Of Picking Pork.

For 80 pounds meat use 5 pints
of fine salt, A pounds brown
sugar and l quart best molasses,
8 ounces saltpeter. Mix the
seasoning, but using only /
pint of the salt. Rub the meat
well all over and lay upon boards
in the cellar for "a hours. Then
put a few clean, round stones in
the bottom of a barrel and lay
some sticks across these so that
the meat will not soak in the
liquor that drains from it. Pack
the meat in layers, between
which the remaining A pints Of
salt should be divided. Let re-
main in barrel for Is or 16 days,
drawing off the liquor every day,
and pouring it back on the meat
in small quantities at a time.
Take out at end of Ia days, rub
each piece we'll with dry salt and
return to barrel. If the liquor
does not cover it, add the fresh
brine in the proportion of 2
pounds of salt, / ounce salt peter
and 1 quart water poured on cool
after being boiled for half an
hour. Lay a round piece Of
board on top of the meat and
keep down with weights. The
pork should be laid rind upwards
so as to prevent oversalting,
Examine from time to time to be
sure meat is keeping well.-

Base Ball Game Tomorrow.

The first base ball game of the
season to be played on the Cotton
wood grounds will be played here
tomorrow afternoon between the
first nine of this place and a
picked team from Grangeville.
The game will be called at 2:30
promptly and the way base balls,
bats, gloves and players will
mix up for a couple hours will be
a sight to witness. The Grange
vile boys have played several
games there this year and are in
pretty fair shape and as a pick
from all the players of that town
is being made the visiting team
can be expected to put up g
pretty stiff game.
The local team has not hao
any practice as yet but most o1
them are old hands at the game
and if they can keep from get
ting ratified at the start vii
most likely settle down and play
fast ball. The game will be full
of interest at any rate and wei
worth attending.

Reservation Will
Not Open This Year
Letter to Burton L. French From
General Indian Commissioner
States the cOeur d'AIene Reser-
walton Will Not be Opened Yet.

The following letter from the
acting commissioner of Indian
affairs to the Hon. Burton L.
French, relative to the opening
of the Coeur d'Alene reservation
contains so much valuable infor-
nation of benefit to many of our
readers that we publish it entire:
Washington, d. G, April 25, 'O7.
Hon. Burton L. French,
Moscow, Idaho.
Sir-The Office is in receipt of
your letter of April 18th, 1907,
requesting that you be given all
available information relative to
the opening of the Occur d'Alene
reservation, in Idaho.
The act of June, 21, 1906, ga
Stat, 325,) provides that after
the survey of the lands within
the Coeur d'Alene Indian reser-
vation, in Idaho, all allotments
therein have been completed,
the surplus lands not reserved
for agency, school, or other
purposes shall be classified as
agricultural, grazing or timber
lands, appraised and opened to
settlement under the provisions
of the homestead law at not less
than their appraised value, by
proclamation of president which
shall prescribe the time when,
and the time in which the lands
shall be opened to settlement.
The act also extends the general
mining laws to the lands en-
braced within the reservation.
Mineral entry may be made for
any Of said lands but no mineral
location will be permitted for
any lands allotted in severality
to the Indians.
In interpreting this clause the
Office has held the act also applies
to lands in the occupation of any
Indian. All coal or oil deposits
in or under the lands within the
reservation remain the property
of the United States, and the
secretary of the interior is au,
thorized to reserve such tracts
for townsite purposes as in his
opinion may be required fol
future public interests.
The land that will be thrown
open to settlement and entry will
aggregate approximately 310,0 ,0OC
acres.
! l am informally advised by th'
commissioner of the general lane
Office that the survey Of tn,
reservation has been completes
and the examination of the sur
vey in the field is now bein,
made and will be completed b,
July 1st. After the survey ha
/. been accepted the work Of max
ing allotments will commenc
and under the act must be com
/. pleted before the land can b
i classified and appraised.
AS the work of making allott
{ ments will require considerabl
time, you will see that it is no
; possible for the reservation t
} be opeued to settlement thi
year.
E Very respectfully,
C. F. LARRABEE.
