silver NOT
AN ISSUE

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.--Will!am j.
Bryan was asked whether his Car
negie hall speech had been intended
to include any intimation that free
coinage of silver was still a public
issue, Mr.. Bryan said:
"No, free silver is not an issue.
What / said had no connection with
the silver question. | simply re-
ferred to 1t to show the change that
had taken place in the arguments
that are being made at the present
time. The silver question was an
issue in 1896 because prices were
falling and there was no other re-
lief in sight. Since gold productions
has materially increased prices are
rising or were until the recent
panic, and will again as soon as nor
NAL conditions are restored. The
silver question, therefore, will not
be an issue"
Mr.. Bryan's stay in New York was
a strenuous one. After a morning in
terview with the newspaper men he
hurried to Brooklyn, where he was
rendered reception by Bird S. Colr,
president of the borough, and made
speech in which he declared that
the democratic party presented
united front and was now in posi-
ton to fight the divided enemy;
then he made long trip to Harlem.
where he addressed a meeting Of the
YoRng Mems Hebrew association
Last night he was principal guest
and speaker at the dinner of the
Economic club at the Hotel Astor.

COLD SNAP
SAVED FRUIT.
HORTICULTURIST SAYS COLD
SNAP WAS JUST WHAT OUR
FRUIT NEEDED CONTINUED
WARM WEATHER DANGEROUS

c. A Tonneson, editor of the
Northwest Horticulturist, and who
has made a special study of horticul-
tural matters since his childhood,
says the present cold snap is the SAL
vat!on of the coming fruit crop of
the Northwest.
THE extreme mildness of the win
ter up to a few days ago." said he
this afternoon, was the worst kind
of weather for our trees. All the
trees must have their periods of rest,
and on account of the prevailing
mildness of the winters of the Pa
cific coast the trees here often grow
the year around. In fact, one can
dig down to the roots of trees grow
ing in the Puget Sound region most
any time in the middle of winter
and find that they are putting forth
tendrils. This is great drain on
the life energies of the tree and
tends to produce unripened wood.
The cod winters of the East produce
positive dormancy OF the trees dur
ing winter, producing toughness OF
fiber.
IF the mild weather had been
continued a week or so longer trees
would have been in readiness to put
forth buds and spring frosts would
have caught the coming crop. This
cold weather is a good setback not
only for the apple trees, but for all
kinds of timber"

She Keeps the Light.

One of the lights in New York bay
is kept by woman. Mrs. Kate Walker,
who recently celebrated her sixty-fifth
birthday. Robins reef is the name of
Mrs. Walkers station. Her husband
was keeper of the light until 1887. and
during his last illness Mrs Walker and
her young son Jack cared so well for
the great beacon that the government
appointed the mother its keeper and
the son her assistant So long has Mrs.
Walker lived in the great white tower
that she knows by sight almost every
craft that plies up or down the bay.
Even the whistles are familiar to her
1t is said that on a shopping tour in
New York she identified the whistle of
long abandoned vessel whose boiler
and whistle had been purchased by q
small east side manufacturer.

The Way They Wash In Nome.

Perhaps one reason the Klondike If
such goddess place is because OF Its
Indifference TO that quality which we
are told is next to godliness. In Nome
particularly water is scarce. The wa
ter dealer who brings 1t from across
the tundras in tanked cart visits each
house every morning just as the milk
man does in the States. Miss Ida
Rose McCabe, the lecturer. in telling OF
the pride which Nome takes in its one
steam laundry says: washing is done
on the same principle as gold sluicing
the same water Is used over and over.
and when garments return from the
.ub they look as If they had been to s
iyeing establishment instead of to a
laundry. In Nome he is a wise man
who cnn identify his own linen. Al

SHORT WEIGHING THE PUBLIC
Spokane Inspector Finds Only 46
Pounds Flour in Sack.

''It was unfortunate that the
scales used by the Centennial Mill
ing company got out of order, be-
cause through that condition have
weighed probably ESQ sacks of -four
in different Spokane stores during
the last two days and have not found
sack that weighed over 46 pounds,
and ! should say about 45 pounds
was the average, says A. r. Powell,
inspector of weights an dmeasures.
Each of these sacks should weigh
40 pounds.
GAS to the reason the scales got
out of or | am not in a position
to blame any one at the Centennial
MILL but will say that it is an easy
matter to put these scales out of
order, even after they have been
stamped with the seal of the city
inspector. There is shot hole in
the weights on the scales and the
hole is closed with a screw. To
change the weighing power of the
scales all that is necessary is to add
to or remove the quantity of shot
in the weight hole.
'In view of the fact that the Cen
tennial company is removing the
short weight sacks, anticipate the
incident will end with accord be-
tween the mill company and my
Office"

Portland has weathered the

Mr.. Blythe. "a few banks went
under, probably because of poor
management, but Portland is still
the solid financial center of the Pa

deal of business with Lewiston and
the contiguous country, and when
the Riparia road is completed the
volume of business will be much
larger. With Lewiston at the head
of navigation of the Columbia, the
Lewiston country certainly has a
bright future. True, you have been
held back because of delays in trans
portation facilities. but the railroads
are bound to come and then nothing
can check your prosperity"
