INVESTIGATE CONDITIONS.
Garfield's Visit May Remedy Evils
of Coal Famine.

AS far as any present solution of
the coal question goes, we are up
against brick WALL" said Secretary
of the Interior James r. Garfield
when asked this morning what con-
clusion he had reached in regard to
the prospect of a coal famine that
nc wconfronts Seattle and the North
west generally, says the Seattle
Times.
"Any immediate solution OF the
perplexing question is impossible"
continued Garfield zone of the
reasons of my visit is to study the
question in all its phases, so as to be
able to take the matter up in the
next session of congress and provide
a remedy for conditions that now
exist. With me are experts study
ing every foot of the ground, and
when we return to Washington we
will have data that will enable Us to
put the case before congress in such
way that some satisfactory con-
clusion can be reached.
"There. are so many difficulties
in the way of a present settlement
of the problem. In the first place
the stringent land laws of the Unit
ed States are an impeachment, in that
it is now impossible for coal lands
to be developed by any concern finan-
cially able to handle a sufficient tract
to produce fuel in quantities to affect
the stringency. Under the home
stead laws only 100 acres can be
taken up by any one person, and the
law expressly forbids any number
of persons taking up such lands in
greater quantities with a view to
forming subsequently corporation
to develop and market the coal de-
posits.
"In only a few localities where
the deposits are very deep could the
160-acre tracts be handled with any
efficiency as to output, and again,
the interstate commerce laws make
it impossible for the railroads to
dispose of any output from the de-
rosits they are now developing. An
other serious phas. of the question
is that transportation facilities are
inadequate to handle properly any
coal output that could be had from
any deposits now being developed.
"In regard to the land laws and
the effect they have in retardng the
development of certain sections, |
shall probably recommend to con-
gress these laws be so modified in
granting homestead rights that only
the surface rights will be given to
those who take up the 160 acre
tracts and the government shall, in
al sections where there are coal de-
posts retin right and title to these
deposits Another change in the law
will be suggested wherein these de-
posits can be allowed by special
grant in large quantities to parties
who are capable of developing them
in a proper manner. This separation
CT the surface and coal rights would
probably be the means of settling the
question once and for all"

Think Nicolai Was Murdered.

That the people of Sunnyside be-
lieve H. E. Nicolai was murdered is
testified to by the receipt of let
ter by the Seattle Observation-Disclosures
from II. e. Perrin, the Sunnyside
treasurer. The letter is as follows:
Sunnyside, Wash, July 5.
To the Editor: 1t is putting it
very mildly to say that three-fourths
of the best people of Sunyside and
vicinity are becoming more and
more disguised with the utterly alb
surd statements and theories that
have been purposery given to the
press concerning the sudden and I'M
accountable disappearance of H. E.
Nicolai from Sunnyside last Satur
day night. 1t is high time few facts
were stated for the benefit of those
who do not know what is we'll known
at Sunnyside. 1t has been reported
that Mr.. Nicolai may have gone to
Alaska; that he may have gone sud
denly insane; that he may have skip
ped the country. The people of this
town generally not only think that
he may have been murdered, but
they fully believe that he has been,
and that, too, by the hands of or by
the money of those interested in the
blind-pig liquor business, which he
has been instrumental in helping to
brign to accountability before the
law. Some of these men have been
heard to say that Nicolai ought to
be shot
Their spirit has been very clearly
demonstrated recently in other bust
ness not connected with Nicolai's
disappearance. The community here
is not mistaken as 20 where the re.
sponsibility lies. Every criminal
tries to cover his tracks, and the
idiotic theories of Mr.. Nicolai's sud
den disappearance are nothing more
nor less than an abortive effort to ex-
plain away the dastardly crime.
Mr.. Nicolai had just ordered and
received an empty car. which he was
planning to fill with potatoes Mon
day morning; he had some flume
partly finished which he was push
ing to completion; he came to town
Saturday afternoon and took his
usual orders for vegetables for Mon
day mornings delivery. Does this
look like going crazy" or Skip
ping the country or starting for
Alaska"
Every member of the family ut
terly repudiate the idea that he left
home voluntarily. Not one of Mr.
Nicolais friends believe in any of
the theories put forth to explain
away his absence, and those who
have been giving such so-called news
items to the press are fifty character
lied here as promising specimens of
the most monumental hypocrisy.
The facts, as we verify believe
here and as plainly belived by all
the circumstances, seem unmistak-
ably to be that Mr. Nicolai has been
kidnapped and murdered as a direct
result of the hatred of certain indi-
viduals right here in Sunnyside.
There are men here whose only hope
of clearing their skirts of the stains
of that awful crime lies in their
ability to restore Mr.. Nicolai alive
and well to his friends and his fam
lily. Until that is done nothing can
by any possibility satisfy his friends
of these mems innocence.

1t seems hat the eastern ~financiers
are undertaking to show President
Roosevelt who's who. They have not
been overjoyed with the course the pres
ldent has followed since he became con-
verified to certain Ideas relative to his
civic duties and the duties and obliga-
tons of captains of industry and it
would seem to a man up a tree that these
%financiers have determined to give the
president something to think about
just as they did President Cleveland, a.
way back in 1893. They press the but
ton and there is a condition bordering
on a money panic. A few concerns in
Wall Street go to the wall and there is
more panic. Secretary Cortellyou scoops
millions of government money from the
treasury into the hoppers of the big
banks to turn the tide-and still there
is more panicky results. And so it may
go on if the financiers say SO. But, for
tunately , there seems to. be a little de
termination on their part to only give
Teddy a little scare that will make him
less strenuous. How we'll this will sue.
ceed cannot be foretold.

EUROPE WANTS OUR WHEAT.

Every country in Europe wants
American wheat. Usually Russia is an
exporting country but the Gar has
signed an edict forbidding the exporta-
ton of any more wheat. With this all
eyes turns to America. Argentina will
export some but nothing like as usual
and it will be some time before her crop
will be ready. So North America is the
only place where wheat can be secured.
The urgency of the demand from Europe
has advanced the price and without
doubt it will go still higher. Durum
wheat is today bringing the highest
price il the history of its culture in the
northwest. Our natural wheat exports,
including flour, aggregate between fifty
and sixty million bushels. 1t is estimat-
ed that fifteen to twenty-five million
bushels more has been sold and to go.
Should there be a loss in Argentina or
damage in India there would be a great
er demand for American wheat. 1t
therefore behooves the farmer to keep in
close touch with the market reports and
be not in too great a hurry to sell his
grain. Of course there will be Jug
Cling all along the line. The price will
advance and drop but from a careful
overlook of conditions there is a good
chance for wheat to go to a higher price
this year than in many years past.

In mentioning candidates for the U.
S. Senate, why would not Fl. Z Helgesen
be a most acceptable one? He is a man
of courage and convictions, honest, con
scientious aud able to express his views
on political as we'll as other subjects.
He has been connected with the growth
and development of our state ever since
it was admitted into the Union. and has
also been interested in the politics of
the state since long before the const1tu-
ton was adopted and up to the present
time. He has been a staunch reformer
since the reform movement was inaugu-
rated and has never hesitated to work for
it's cause. As to his political aspirations
he has not been an office seeker. He is
not a candidate now of his own volition,
but if he can be induced to enter the
race he will have a host of friends and
admirers all over the state who will be
willing workers for his cause. Let the
office seek the man rather than the man
seek the ofice.-Adams(Rep.) Enterprise.
