Though always new, the kermiss

a joyous religious act for the conse-

er opposed except by those unac-
quainted with history
The Kermiss has appeared occa-
sionally in America. in very incom-
plete way, since the building of the
Atlantic coast cities. However, its
sudden rise to popularity was direct
ly due to it's elaborate presentation
in Madison Square Garden in New
York 81 years ago.
Consideration of the charitable
purpose for which it is given in our
city should challenge the most loyal
and enthusiastic support of all citi-

SALOON BUILDING
THE JACK LILLIS BUILDING
METHOW VALLEY LAND COM
PANY AS REAL ESTATE OFFICE

The building belonging to Jack
Lillis and formerly occupied by Shipp
& Leamer with a stock of liquor, is
being converted into real estate
office. The interior of the building
is being remodeled. Partitions are
being built and after complete re-
modelling will be occupied by the
Methow Valley Land company. This
will be headquarters for Messrs. Fu-
rey & Culvert, general agents of the
company, and F. R. Colbert, Wenat-
chez agent of the company.
This building was under Ave year
lease to Gottstein Brothers, whole
sale liquor dealers, but owing to the
cancellation of the liquor license for
Shipp & Learner and little prospects
for license for anybody else in this
city, the GOttsteins were allowed to
cancel their contract for the sum of
$1,000, and now Mr.. Lillis has leased
the building for the coming year to
the Methow valley people.

Portland, Ore, May Flour
which the Pacific coast millers were
over anxious to sell to the Orient
early in the season at prices that did
not in many instances pay for the
cost of wheat and grinding, much
less profit to the miller, is actually
being brought back by American
flour men and will soon cross the
Pacific by steamer and then 20 by
rail to the east.
This is the first time in the history
of Oriental flour shipments that flour
sold to the Orient has been resold
to American buyers and then resoli
again to eastern parties, each party
concerned in the transaction making
handsome profits. The local flour
market shows more firmness. and sew
eral of the smaller Willamette val

millers are still of the opinion that
flour will sell higher after a while

CUbA'S DEBTS Pill
INC HIGH
HAVANA PASSENGERS TALK OF
BREAKERS AHEAD FOR GOMEZ
-HORDES OF SUPERFLUOUS
OFFICEHOLDERS KEPT.

Mobile, Ala, May 1.-That the
Cuban government is not paying it's
contractors in any department and
that the revenues of the island re-
public are being consumed by hordes
of officehOlders is the statement made
by several passengers from Havana.
Among them was Charles Hernandez,
formerly postmaster general of Cuba
Mr.. Hernandez would not discuss
conditions, but several others of the
passengers talked freely. They had
copies of leading Havana papers,
which commented severely upon the
conditions of the new administra-
ton.
One paper carried a strong edi-
torial, In which it said that the new
government had three or four times
as many employees as was necessary
and that the only reason they were
retained was to fulfill anteelection
promises. Had they not been ap-
pointed, there would have been a
revolution, and Gomez's government
would have fallen in less than a
week after his Inauguration.
The editorial says that the govern
ment in making up it's official state
ments only tabulated it's revenues
and resources, and ignored it's debts.
1t says that to date the Gomez gov
ernment owes 100000. and has
less than $6,0OO,0OO with which to
pay.
The article also says that the revo-
lutionary outbreak was only a pre-
mature explosion, and that there are
elements of sedition in Havana which
may burst a political bombshell with
in the next 80 days strong enough to
disrupt the government and casue
another American Intervention.

NORTHERN PACIFIC
FEEDER
SPOKANE CONTRACTORS WILL
BUILD 40 MILES OF RAILROAD
FROM MANDAN,

Spokane, May Porter Brothers
& Welch of Spokane, have received a
contract to construct ITO miles of
road for the Northern Pacific Rail-
way company as a feeder line south
from Mandan, N. d., following the
course of the Missouri river The
estimated cost is $3,500,O00.
1t is announced here that work
will begin as soon as the men and
equipment can be assembled at Man
dan The contractors will take part
of the crew now at work on the Spo-
kane, Portland & Seattle road near
Spokane. This indicates that con-
struction work will be pushed with
vigor.
The new line, it is given out here,
is not the projected cutoff from
Mandan to Miles City, but is a new
feeder into South Dakota. There are
some who believe this is another step
in the war between the Northern Pa
cific and the Chicago, Milwaukee &
Puget Sound roads for territory. The
route is generally southwark from
Mandan and follows the Missouri
river not less than 80 miles out of
that town.

shortly.

Before we proceed with wholesale
slaughters and with the spread of
doubts as to the healthiness of both
milk and beef, we should have more
definite information. The movement
is just now in the faddish state. The
cranks h We hold of it and they are
working it for all it is worth to them
regardless of the farmers. There is
bovine tuberculosis, but such men as
Koch doubt whether it is ever, certain
ly really, communicated to human be-
Iings. They want more light on the
subject. Agitators and legislators
should not grasp this scientific discov-
cry too suddenly. They can do more
harm than good. Let us get more
4 light. In the mean time farmers should
give all their animals pure food and
pure air and sunshine, in winter as
we'll as III summer, and that will help
some, great deal, in fact.

get new fad-very well, but let US
not all go crazy overit. Prove it first.
