all sides, however that so far it has
done we'll When the body first met
it was found that the members were,
almost to a man, young and intelh-
gent. This made a good impression.
Then followed the selection of Senior
Osmena to the speakership, and this
caused assembly stock to rise very
perceptibly, for Senior Osmena has
been tried in responsible and diff
cult posts and has thoroughly made

He is the best man of his people,"
said Gen. Jack" Weston, command

zOn. He possesses a very high de-
gree of Intelligence, and he has some

which may be called imperturbability
the quality that makes the most sue

/ Japans success over Russia. The
men who were at the head of Japan's
armies were the imperturbable men.
Doubtless they had under them, per-

more brilliant, but it was the imper-
turbable men who held the supreme

were due. They were like the men
who came TO the front and stayed to

she Filipino speaker is heard on all
sides. \ young man, still under go,
he was a highly successful prosecuting
officer in Cebu. and after that a highly
successful governor of his province.
He is not a "politico,' 1t was with
difficulty that he could be induced to
become a candidate for the assembly.
His candidacy for the speakership was
in no sense his own. He is an intense
patriot, and, what is more. a practical
man. His own people believe in him,
and so do the Americans.
The responsibility of his present
position was hardly realized by either
Americans or FflipinOs until Secretary
Taft made it clear that in the civil
government of the Philippines the
speakership is a post second only to
that of the governor general.

some disposition on the part of Amer.

introduced. These critics have had

Manila, P. There l. never has been
a time when the understanding be-
tween the Fflipinos and Americans
was as complete as now The mem

think, been confounded by the con-

conservatism, for | know the hearts of
my people"
So spoke Senior Osmena, speaker Of
the Philippine assembly, the man who
stands out to-day as first and foremost
of his race. Nobody hearing him
could doubt the sincerity of his words,
the honesty of his belief
When the Philippine assembly chose
as its presiding officer and guiding
spirit this able young representative
from Cebu it unquestiOnably advanced
the Filipino cause in the eyes of those
Americans most sincerely hopeful for
that better understanding between Fill

the proper working out of the pro-

ORCHARD CASE NEXT
Trial of Steunenbers Muir
derer to be called in March

Harry Orchard will have his
innings before the district court of
this county in March. County At
torney Van Duyn says he expects
Orchard to enter plea of guilty.
Evidence will then be introduced
to prove the corpus delicti and the
stenographer who took the evidence
in the Haywood and Pettibone
trials will be called to show that
Orctard admitted under oath in
thoses cases that he committed the
crime. Mr.. Van Duyn thought it
might not be necessary to introduce
any evidence whatever in case of a
plea of guilty but stated that he
would do so to make doubly sure.
The trial of the case should take
but a few minutes and should be
passed up to thejury very quickly
for its Judgment.

is $20,375
The revised plans contemplate ex-
tensions on Main street from Nc
Kinley to Johns, and from Second
to Fourth on Commercial, thence
on Fourth to Johns and Johns to
Second. These extensions would
increase the cost to e22, Al. so.
The first step in the proposed sys-

Coal Prospects Near Roswell.

Fred Mcconnell, city engineer OF
Caldwell, recently paid visit to
the coal mine near Roswell and
brings back glowing reports of the
prospects there. The mine is sit
uat.d about 12M miles from the
Oregon state line and IA miles
southwest of Roswell. The rocky
formation on the surface indicates
the presence of coal below and two
tunnels have been built, one in
about 900 feet and the other about
500. The coal in the longer tunnels
is not of superior quality until it
reaches to about the 900 foot line,
but from there on in as far as they
have gone in the quality is that of
the anthracite coal of the Lehigh
valley. The vein is about IA feet
wide in the long tunnel and IL in
the short one. Three men are at
work and mules are used to pull
the cars

of the Mint Mining company (

to his home at La Crosse, Wis. to
spend a few months. The cross

convinced the long looked for vein
which made a good showing at The
surface is not far away. He left
men at work driving the tunnel,
but he said they are working under
a great disadvantage on account
of having no air shaft or fan. A
fan will be installed in the spring.
