ARE READY FOR HOME RULE.
Cubans Capable of SeIf-Government,
According to Magoon.

Hot Springs, Va, Aug. 25.-Charles
E. Magoon, provisional governor of
Cuba, talked with Mr.. Taft today re-
garding conditions in Cuba.
That the people of Cuba are qualified
for self government is the positive
assertion of Governor Magoon. The
Cuban people, he indicated are heart
lily in favor of government ownership
of public utilities. They now own the
telegraph lines and the test Of the pop
ular will, which has just been made on
the question of private concessions for
telephone lines, he believes has demon
strated their desire for government
ownership. The test referred to was
made at the suggestion of President
Roosevelt, and consisted in the submis
sion to the 80 provinces of the draft of
a law which, if approved and enacted,
would have resulted, according to Gov
ernor Magoon, in the telephone busi-
ness of the island going into the hands
of the present Havana Telephone COM
pany. The concession Of this company
expires in 1910, whereupon the tele-
phone lines and plant of the company
in that city will revert to the Cuban
government.

Expert.

Expert.
Portland-Datika kaukasieli, of Ku-
ties, Caucasa, of the we'll known fam
lily of noblemen of Kaukasielis, is
here in the interest of silk culture
Mr.. Kaukasieli says this is very fine
climate for the production of silk, and
that the establishment of silk culture
means much for the Pacific coast. He
says it would do more for this Coz s
than any other industry, and would
mean employment for thousands and
may result in the building of factories
when the culture is we'll establis he'd.
"Silk culture is one of the greatest
productions commercially and has made
nations and established commerce, and
is the means of great wealth, said he
Mr.. Kaukaseili has invented device
by which silk can be produced at prices
which makes the industry profitable,
even at the high price for, labor in
America. He is very enthusiastic re-
garding it, and says he will establish
the silk industry in the United States.

FIX PICKING PRICE.
Hop Growers at Salem Decide Upon
Eighty Gents a Hundred.

Salem-About 40 hopgrowres of this
vicinity met at the city hall and adopt
ed resolution fixing 80 cents a hun
dred pounds as the price to be paid for
hop picking this season. This is 20
cents hundred less than last year.
The opinion was unanimous that
growers cannot pay over so cents a
hundred and can scarcely afford to pay
that much in view of the present price
of hops. Eighty cents a hundred is
practically the same as 40 cents box.
Joseph Harris, agent for Benjamin
SchWarz & Sons, has received word
from London that the Kentish Obser-
yer in it's last issue estimates the Eng
lish hop crop for 1908 at $40, 600 hun
dred weight, against 275, 600 hundred
weight last year.

BUILD MANY SHIPS.
Japs viii Have Large Fleet of Auxil-
larry Cruisers.

New York, Aug. 24.-According to
Kashiera Shiba, one Of the managers
Of the Mitsuhishi dockyard at Naga-
saki, Japan, the japanese government
is making earnest efforts to increase
its fleet Of auxiliary cruisers. Mr..
Shiba, who arrived at the Hotel Astor
tonight, declared that while the Japan
ese navy is highly efficient, there is
need of a fleet of steamships which
could, in time Of war, be converted in
to cruisers.
"Our dockyard," said he, "is work.
ing at its fullest capacity. We are at
present turning out three $4,000 tur-
bine steamships, which will do 81
knots, and which will ply between San
Francisco and Hongkong via Japan
The boats will use oil for fuel. In ad-
dition to these boats, we are building
four large steamships, which will run
from Japan to England via the Suez
canal. All these vessels will be at the
service of Japan in case of war. Our
dockyard, Of course, is not the only one
that is active in producing this big
order for auXiliares. The dockyards
at Kobe and other places are all run
ming at their full capacity"

Hubbard and hop picking are
uncertainties at the present time. Not
all the hops in this part Of Marion
county were cultivated or cared for
t is year, and now, owing to the ey-
tremely weak market, it is high ly
probable that many yards that have
been cultivated will not be picked.
The crop is not heavy one, as many
of the long arms on the lower part Of
the vines have no hops on at all. Pick
ing will be later than usual.

Railroad Officials Much Encouraged

Chiacago, Aug. 22,-Traffic officials
gerenerally are predicting a large in
crease in the movement Of general
merchandise within the next few weeks.
From Investigations made by them of
the conditions of stocks now in the
hands Of country merchants, they have
found that these are run down to an
extent that it will be absolutely neces-
sary to have them renewed if the hold
ers are to continue in business at all.
In week or two agricultural COM
munities will begin making their fall
purchases. With the present crop

"A PARTISAN PRINCESS"

IA Partisan Princess" produced at
Jacobson's opera house for the first
time in Minot last evening proved a
magnificent treat for the large audience
in attendance and the large company
of capable artists to whose hands the
beautiful play was entrusted made a
decided hit from the very start. The
play itself is nor deliberately staged
than usual and is filled with tragedy
and pathos intermingled with a keen
sense of humor at times. Mr.. Eugene
Vests, George Leighton is a master
piece of craftiness and villiany but
with all his villiany one can not help
but admire the collness and reserve
with which he handles the part. It is
q matter of fact however, that Mr..
West plays all of the roles he under
takes in a masterful manner The
role of Jean Ingelside is peculiarly
adapted to Miss Catherine Henry's
artistic temperament and she fills the
part with sadness that fills one with
deep hate for such a william as Leigh
ton. Miss Henry is also magnificent
in the dual role of La Belle Marie.
Wyne Ross as the Office boy with
every note, every action convulsed the
audience with laughter. The rest of
the parts are in capable hands. The
company carries some remarkably
beautiful scenery,-Minot Optic.
This company which has made such
a wonderful hit in all the large cities,
and carrying their own special scenery
will appear at Hope opera house Tues
day, March 10th. One night only.
Secure your seats now.
