COMMANDER SIMS OF NAVY
Brother of n. N. Sims of Colfax-
Lauded by Roosevelt.

The tribute paid to Commander Sims,
the new commander of the battleship
Minnesota, by President Roosevelt under
date of February q, would probably
have escaped only passing notice in
Whitman county but for the fact that
Commander Sims and Ell. n. Sims, dep
uty engineer OF Whitman county, are
brothers. Commander Sims was in
spector OF target practice, and was with
the battleship feet in it's trip encrcling
the globe. In part President Roosevelt
paid this tribute to the new commander
of the battleship Minnesota
Il am informed by officers in whose
Judgment / have confidence, including
Admiral Wainwright, that our fighting
power is now at least five times greater
than it was before training was i'm
proved by Commander Sims methods.
Within the last year alone our rapidity
of hitting increased more than 100 per
cent
''In addition to this, his speciality, he
has been largely instrumental, by his
recommendations, in improving the de-
signs of our men. Ofwar, particularly in
bringing out the definite adoption OF
our new type Of all-big- gun ships through
the conclusive arguments presented by
him in various papers on the subject. |
regard him as having rendered to the
United States navy services OF such sig
nal value that it is my duty to recognize
them in emphatic fashion"
H. n. Sims has been a resident of
Whitman county for about year, being
connected with the Chicago, Milwaukee &
Puget Sound railway previous to accept
ing position in the county engineers
office. He is an engineer of distinction.
Engineer McCaw was fortunate in secur-
ing his services.

Sittinu Bull.

To look at Sitting Bull one would say
that he was always quiet and self con-
tanned. In fact, he did usually keep
himself under control, but he was cruel
and almost heartless. He had prac-
ticed cruelty to animals and men from
his childhood and as long as he lived !;
he was full Of passion and often very
angry He was always imperious and
inSOlent toward our generals, the In
dian agent and other friends of the
great father at Washington. whom he
claimed to hate. He had great talent
and ability to plan campaigns and bat
ties and wonderful influence in bring
ing Indians together. Notwithstand-
ing all this, he was afraid of death.
and, though he planned the greatest
victory which the Indians ever gained
over white men, Sitting Bull himself
was coward and disgraced himself
even before his own people by running
away in the very face of success

Under the heading OF "Bryan and
Democracy, the Occur d'Alene Press
rises in meeting and speaks its opinion.
II says that the Press has been
staunch supporter OF William }. Bryan
through three presidential campaigns,
because we believed that he would make
an ideal president. The people have as
many times said that they did not want
him, and in the face of these emphatic
declarations his announcement that he
is ready for fourth race comes as some
thing of surprise to those who have
followed his lead in the past. Bryan
seems to be weak in an Unsuitable desire
to reach the presidency; laudable am
bition, but one that should be cooled by
three defeats" The editor closes by
using these words: "His announcement
that he is a candidate for the fourth
nomination will not be taken seriously
by the people, and if he is already in
training we have no ambition to support
him again, and believe that his announce
ment at this time means the elimination
OF hundreds of thousands OF followers
from the ranks OF democracy and aligns
them under the banner OF Taft and the
republican party"

E. j. Baldwin, better known as
" Lucky" Baldwin, died at his paatial
home near Los Angeles on the LIST, aged
81 years. He leaves an estate estimated
at So, 100000. Baldwin was a charac-
ter. He had weakness for women, and
women OF the adventures class were con-
tinually laying snares to entrap him,
which was not hard to do. Some of
them will probably bob up, now that he
is dead, and lay claim to his millions.
His estate 16 miles from the city OF Los
Angeles was one OF the show places of

Theodore Roosevelt is now plain
American citizen, unloaded of official
cares and responsibilities, but he carries
with him, as he has during the last TX
years, the heart of the American people.
He has been aggressive, and it was
thought many times that he would sure
ly fall into some pit at the unexpected
moment, but from present viewpoint he
has made few mistakes, putting the ma
ton on higher plane than when he
assumed the affairs of state. Probably
no man ever left the presidential chair
carrying the we'll wishes Of so many as
does ex- President Roosevelt.
The business interests of Spokane did
the right thing when they united and
agreed on a business man for mayor.
1t should be business proposition,
which is not always the case in munich
pal affairs. The cheap politician and
the place hunter is always in evidence,
in Spokane at this time as on previous
occasions, and it is to head them off
that the business interests have taken
action. G. M. Fassett. the we'll known
assayer, is the man of their choice, and
Mr.. Fassett is the man who should,
probably will, be elected. He has many
friends outside of Spokane who will be
pleased to note the confidence reposed in
him.

THE HOUSE FLY.
Its Menace-A Bearer of Sick
ness and Death.
Baltimore Sun.

Mans victory over his larger
living foes is SO complete that he
is apt to regard himself as the
unassailable lord Of the earth.
The mastodon fell before him
centuries ago, and the lion and
elephant are his easy prey today.
Even the great snakes and sea
monsters have disappeared from
the regions he has claimed, and
in the air he seems to have NO
more foes at all. But as a mat
ter Of fact there are still some
strenuous wars ahead of him if
he is to remain the master of the
world. What the mastodon could
not do the pneumococcus may ac-
complish. What the python and
jackal attempted, the rat, the
mosquito and the house fly may
achieve.
1t is only in recent years that
the menace of these apparently
puny foes has been understood.
Twenty years ago it was believed
that malaria was caused by fouI
air. Today we know that it is
transmitted by the Anopheles
maculipennio, a mosquito. We
know, too, that the Stegomyis
fasciata, another mosquito, trans.
mits yellow fever, that the tsetse
fly carries the germs of the sleep
ing sickness, and that the rat is
the bearer of the bubonic plague
Knowing these things, we wal
upon mosquito, tsetse fly and RAJ
and already the effect is enor
nous. Malaria is dying out il
the world and yellow fever ha.
disappeared from even it's wors
pestholes. In Africa the sleep
ing sickness is about to yield, anc
in the Far East the bubonic plague
grows less and less. But there
yet remains another bearer OF
sickness and death-the common
house fy-and the maladies that
he carries still rage. Tubercu
losis is one of them, and Others
are typhoid fever, pneumoni;
and the terrible intestinal dis
orders of summer. The fly, O.
course, does not cause these dis
