From South America comes assur-
ances OF the high appreciation of the
United States Of Columbia of the
spleno id achievement of Secretary Taft
in bringing about the negotiations. Of
a joint treaty between that country,
Panama and the United States, a deli
cate task which the secretary of war
performed just before his departure
for the west. His great familiarity
with Panama and the confidence of the
people. of that country in his judgment,
together with the temporary indisposi-
ton Of the secretary Of state, led the
preside to ask Mr.. Taft to undertake
this delicate task, despite the fact that
it was somewhat outside Of the line
of duty of the secretary Of war.

| Washington, Sept. 6.-Whep Presi-
| dent Roosevelt returns to Washington
on Sept % he will have practically
concluded the writing of his message
to the first session OF the Sixtieth
congress.
| Every portion of it will be in shape
| to submit, as usual, to the members
| of his cabinet and to those senators
and representatives and high officers
| of the government upon whose judg-
ment he. largely relies for suggestions
in such matters
The message is to be the longest
that he has sent to congress. 1t Will
be more lengthy Than that which he
sent to congress winter before last,
which cf itself established a new rec
| ord In the presidential message line.
That WIS the output in which railroad
rate regulation was made the over
shadow ng feature.
Mr. I.oosevelt's word to congress IN
December will also be notable IN the
manner in which it will deal with
questions now before the public, or IN
which he hopes to make the public
take All interest. These matters will
| be treated in an unusual way with a
vigor that will mark the message as a
unique state paper. it will be virtually
a statement of the issues upon which
the republican party will make It's
| fight i'll the presidential contest OF
| 1908.
| Mr.. Roosevelt will demand much
] legislation but he will not expect to
get all he asks nor does he wish 10
Fget it.
He wants the first session not to do
| too much, but to leave good work.
| ing nl;irgin so that results that will
appeal to the people may come from
the second session next year and be
| freshly impressed upon the voters
shortly before they go to the ballot
lbox, and previously to that upon the
delegates to the national convention.
1t is understood that Speaker Cam
non has said recently that congress at
the Forthcoming session would do
NOTHING, but pass appropriation bills,
SO that his view and that Of the pres
ident SIS to what should or should not
be done fit in very nicely together,
President Roosevelt will not mention
the tariff in his message, it being the
policy OF the administration to do
nothing, with the schedules until after
the presidential election at the earli-
est. He will devote much space to In
dustrisl questions, licensing of corpor-
ations, capitalization of the railroads.
curbins the so-called trusts, ETC., but
he will also devote unusual attention
to the forest reserves and the restor-
alton Of the public domain. The de-
velopnlent of inland water ways will
receive special attention. The presi-
dent believes that great Importance is
to be attached to the deep water way
problem, as the future growth of the
country is so largely wrapped up IN
| it.
1t is understood that the president
will hold meeting of his cabinet here
on Sept %, two days prior to leaving
on his western trip, during which he
will be the guest Of the deep water
way convention at Memphis, Tenn.

The repeated assertions which find
their way into the correspondence of
Washington newspapermen men who
ought. to know better, to the effect that
the president is grooming the secre-
tary OF the treasury, George B. Cor
telyou, for the presidential nominal
ton, or that he is backing Cortelyou
to run in case Secretary Taft cannot
be nominated, are all absolutely with
out foundation. The president is not
backing any candidate whatever, and
he regards the alleged candidacy Of the
secretary of the treasury as nothing
at al serious. The president does be-
lieve that Secretary Taft is the only
cand date whom those who wish a
continuation of the Roosevelt policies
can intelligently and logically support.
but lie is not trying to dictate his sue
cessor and he is willing to leave it to
the republican voters to say whether
they want continuation of his policies
or a return to The Hanna Foraker style
of republicanisTn.

ment have completed the program for

Political interest in Washington
continues to center on the Stamping
tour which Governor Hughes is maxi
ing ir. New York state. The governor
is being everywhere fayorably, some
times enthusiastically received, and
while he is not discussing national
policies to any great degree, he has
SO far indicated his disapproval of the
Roosevelt policies and all that the
president stands for, as to win high
enconiums from the conservative fac
ton CT the party and the staunch sup
port e.f that New York City daily which
is the, mouthpiece Of j. Pierpont Nor

Roosevelt republicans, Mr.. Hughes can
walk into the next national convention
with the. solid delegation Of his state,
seventy eight strong, behind him, he
will prove formidable candidate.

Nebraska Town Disappears.

NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., August 22.-
After fighting for existence 80 years
with the Missouri river, the town of
Barney, Neb., has at last given up the
struggle-the postofice has been
abandoned and the last house has
gone sailing down the muddy "Mizzu." "
Where once was a prosperous town
there to-day flows the swift current of
the most treacherous river in the
world-the Missouri.
1t was the longest and hardest fight
any town ever put up against the
Missouri river, and likewise it was the
hardest fight the Missouri ever waged
against q town, but the result only
EN- ph asizes the boast often made re.
garding that river-''when the Mis-.
souri, goes after anything it gets it.. "
The Burlington railroad, which
formerly maintained q station at Bar.
ney, moved the building away sever.
al years ago, when the river threatened
the only place in town where depot
could be built. And the tracks, which
formerly went through the town. have
now been moved high up on the hill.
side, beyond the reach of the waters.

Statement BY Standard Oil.

NEW YORK, August 21.-Standard
Oil directors have issued pamphlet
relative to the fine of S29, 240, 900 i'm.
posed upon the Indiana company.
The noteworthy feature is the com.
pany's declaration of absolute limo.
cence of wrong doing in any Of the
prosecutions lately instituted against
it, and particularly 80 in the Chicago.
Alton case. It says: ''If judgment
in the case be allowed to stand the
company would be compelled to pay
so times the value of every carload OF
oil carried over the Alton road dur.
ing two years at an open 6.cent rate
rate used over three competing rail-
roads for 10 to IA years. The trial
Judge refused to allow proof that the
6.cent rate was a legal rate. He in
sisted that 18 cents was the only legal
rate for oil when nobody ever paid it,
and when it was shown that it did no,
apply to oil. To the higher courts We
must look for that calm Judgment
which will rescue the rights of citizens
from the fields of public clamor and
the domain of vindictive politics.

Exposition Is a allure.

WASHINGTON, August 22.--Uncle
Sam may soon become gatekeeper at
the Jamestown exposition. He materi.
ally assisted in financing the undertake
ing, but has been unable to get his
money back according to agreement.
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Edwards is now upon the ground for
conference with those in charge, and
unless some definite assurance can be
given that installment payments will
be made on the government loan, he
may place q representative at the gate
to take charge of the receipts.
At the treasury department it is
stated that patience has been ex'
hausted waiting for some evidence to
be shown of serious intention to re-
imburse the government. By an act
of congress 1000, 900 was advanced
out of the public treasury to aid in the
opening of the fair and with the con-
sent of the exposition company it was
stipula ated that 40 per cent of the gross
receipts would be paid to the govern
ment in July, when the first install
ment on the loan was due, and that or
August l and every half month there
after 800, 900 should be paid.

Two Men Blown to Atoms.

BERKELEY, Cal, August 25.--The

giant pow der works at Sobrante, II

up today, sent two men to their death
and Injured some ten others. The
dead are Edward Thompson and Will.

Immediately after the explosion the
acid tanks caught fire and the flames
spread to the nitro.glycerin mixing
house, where three tons OF nitro.gly.
cerine in great vats blew up with ter
rible scattering of flames and debris
in all directions.
So terrific was the force OF the ex'
plosion that Thompson and Doane
were literally blown to atoms, and moi
a vestige OF their rem aims was found
over which to hold an inquest. Three
buildings were laid in splintered
ruins, and all that remains is pile
of twisted iron and debris.

A BIG RANCH DEAL.
Sage Creek Sheep Company Decides
To Go Out Of Business.

LEwIsTOwN, August 24.-The larg.
est land deal ever consummated in
this part of the state, and probably
the biggest single transaction Of the
kind ever recorded in Montana, has
just been closed up here, the Billings
& Northern purchasing $4,000 acres
of land owned by the Sage Creek
Sheep company, on Sage creek, in the
western part of Fergus county, for 80
an acre, or q lump sum Of S26O, 900.
The railroad company secured an op.
ton on this immense tract early in
the year, desiring to secure It because
Of the coal it contains. Since then
the ground has been thoroughly ex.
plored, with the result that it met all
expectations of the company. The
option would not have expired until
Septe ember 9, but the Billings & Nor
thern saw no reason for delaying.
The decision of the Sage Creek COM
pany to sell is in line with the general
policy of the big sheep outfits in re.
ducing their bands, except that this
concern has gone to the limit aud will
retire from the business altogether.
The company owns about 10000 head
of sheep and last year marketed about
25O, 900 pounds of wool. This year the
clip amounted to something over POO,
600 pounds, and the wool sold at 20
cents each season. The company will
have until long in the spring, it is un-
derstood to dispose of their sheep,
which are all of good stock and with
the other effects of the business will
probably bring in s150,0O0 more, so
that the company will retire with
something like $4,000
The Sage creek company had its be-
ginning in 1880, when Leslie Fl. Hamil'
ton, native of Brattleboro, VT. To-
Gated on q ranch near Utica, and with
associates went into the sheep bust
ness with about 1000 head. He is the
president of the company, and owns
it is understood, threefourths of the
stock, the balance being owned by
Rev. Jacob Mills, of Helena. AS q
result of this deal. the owners will be
able to retire with a handsome fortune
