Why Truth Goes Naked.

Secretary Meyer, at Newport
luncheon, answered an interesting
question.
why, " naval cadet asked, "do
we always speak of the naked
TRUTH" ..,
Secretary Meyer smiled and an.
swered:
There is an ancient fable, and one
very appropriate to this hot weather,
which tells us that on a summer AFTER
noon Truth and Falsehood set out to
battle together. They found a crystal
spring, they bathed in the cool, fresh
water, and Falsehood, emerging first,
clothed herself in the garments of
Truth and went her way. But Truth,
unwilling to put on the garb of False
hood, departed naked. And to this
day Falsehood wears Truths fair
white robes, so that many persons
mistake her for Truths very self:
but poor Truth still goes naked.n

The coal magnate with the divine
mission has testified before the court
that is Investigating the coal industry
that there is absolutely no under
standing among the anthracite COM
panies as to the price to be charged
for coal; but we all notice that every
dealer charges the same price, and
that on the first of each month during
the summer the price goes up uni
formly ten cents per ton; and it is
even intimated that any retailer who
sells below the market suddenly finds
his sources of supply closed. There
may be no understanding as to uni
formity Of prices but there is some
very good mind-reading going on, at

ded that there is an increasing pub
lie demand for statistics and other
information relative to water power,
and that the bureau expects to de-
velop data along this line in connec-
ton with its census OF manufactur-
ers. Officers and members Of the ir-
rigation congress believe that a COM

Irrigation authorities assert that,
owing to the attitude of Forester
Clifford Pinchot, who has practically
barred private capital from devel-
oping electric power in the forest
reserves of the state, private irriga-

will be forced into the Columbia river
territory where there are no federal
restrictions against the operations
of these corporations. Under the
present national and state laws, the

LAND OFFICE RUS|:
NESS DOUBLED
THREE YEARS MAKES BIG I'M
CREASE IN GOVERNMENT OF
FTCE AT OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
ANTS FOR OFFICES.

The business transacted through
the United States land Office at Wat
erville has doubled within the past
three years according to the state
ment Of Judge Haynes, the register
The increase has been due to the
large amount of land under irrigation
coming within the province of this
Office and on account of the enlarged
holdings, under additional home
stead of 500 acres and allowed to be
taken up under the desert land act.
Within the next few months the
question of the appointments for reg
lister and receiver will be decided at
Washington. Judge Haynes. the
present register, has rounded out
nearly fifty years in public life and
expects to retire at the close of his
present term.
w. A. Henry, the receiver, is in a
receptive mood for the appointment
as register, or for the re-appointment
in his present position. 1t is under
stood that he stands well with the
powers that be- and it is not i'm
probable that he will continue to
fill one of the Offices at Waterville.
A. M. Storch, of the Okanogan was
an active candidate for the receiver
ship, but since having been appoint
ed to the apprenticeship of the CEN
sus for the district of eastern Wash
ington circumstances point to the
fact that he will not be candidate
for the place.
w. A. Bolinger of Methow is prov
ing to be formidable candidate for
the office of register. Mr. Bolinger
is now representing his county in the
state legislature
]. E. Shore, of Leavenworth, is
playing the political strings for the
receivership. 1t is understood that
he has lined up a good bunch of en-
dorsements from the south end of
the district, especially of Chelan
county. and the fact that he is now
chairman of the republican central
committee will help out in the game.
D. L. Gillispie, editor of the Brews-
ter Herald, is a candidate for the
office of register. He is lining up the
endorsements of Okanogan county.
Besides the Office of register and
receiver the land Office employs Dan
S. Thompson, j. M. Adams and c..
W. Thompson, who assist in the cler-
ical work for the government at this
place.
U. S. Commissioners.
Connected to certain extent with
the United States land Office at Wat
erville are the following United
States commissioners:
