NEWLANDS ON PHILIPPINES
Believes That Paternalistic Fea-
lures Should Not Apply
to Brownies.

The stand of Senator Francis G.
Newlands upon the Philippine question
stamps him as a statesman of far see
ing vision and a man of careful and
deep regard for our national welfare.
Last week Newlands spoke in the SEN
ate and he hit upon the true keynote
of the colonial question when he said in
part:
"All illusions have vanished, he
said. THE prevailing feelings of the
American people in regard to the Phil
ppines is regret that we are there
and longing to get out creditably. :
AS matters now stand, he declared
it would be an easy thing for the
United States to withdraw at any time
by substituting Philippine commission
ers for American commissioners, thus
permitting the islands to drift away
from us in thoroughly independent
and individualized life. y
Hundreds of millions have been ex-
pended by this country in attempting
to make of the Philippines an ideal Amer
ican colony and the investment cannot
be characterized today in any category
save failure. Co-incident with this
vast expenditure, came national recia-
nation of arid lands and it is one of
the saddest commentaries upon our
m sthod of doing business that the
people who viii help Uncle Sam in his
work of subduing desert land for pos
tsrity are asked to reimburse him the
few paltry millions involved, while the
hundreds of millions filched away
around the scene of Dewey's conflict
are charged to a bad investment. New
lands is right, and every sane Ameri-
can citizen cannot but believe in his
doctrine.

Shober j. Rogers, of the government
experimental farm, states after having
made a trip around the project, that
the sugar beet acreage is looking well
and promises a heavy yield for expert
mental purposes this fall. In all some
fifty farmers are experimenting with
this staple crop and the amount plant
ed by individuals varies from few
rows to an acre. As yet the product
of no particular section exeels, but this
growing weather will quickly determine
the sections having the greater adapti-
bility to sugar beets.

CHAMBERS BEING STAMPED OUT
State Veterinary Here and
County Assistant Appoint
ed by Commissioners.

The county commissioners metin spec
ial session Monday morning and took
steps to stamp out a disease among
the horses of this valley that has been
diagnosed by different veterinary sur
geons as glanders. Oscar Pierce of
Saltwater, was appointed county vet
Urinary and was commissioned by the
county's executive board to act IN con-
junction with DIR. l.. 4. Richardson.
the state veterinary, in stamping out
the disease. The latter has been in
this vicinity for week past and has
located a score or more of horses and
mules said to be affected with the
disease. As soon as an animal with
suspicious symptoms is discovered he
is isolated and if the glanders test
shows an existance of the disease, the
animal is killed.
A peculiar thing about glanders is its
lingering nature, horses having been
known to have lived for adeeade suffer
ing from it. On the other hand, when
communicated to a human being, it
makes short shift of tbs victim, usual
ly terminating fatally in two or three
months.
1t is believed that the glanders has
been in this valley for a number of
years and the fact that comparatively
few number of cases have developed
seems remarkable.

This Country Beats Them All.

State Senator r. L. Douglass re-
turned yesterday from his trip to out
side points. While away he visited
the Stockton and Modesto sections in
the San Joaquin valley and in making
comparisons between this valley and
the sections named, he finds the advan-
tages all in favor of the Truckee-Car-
son project. In the Modesto country
irrigated lands are selling at from two to
three hundred dollars per acre and the
crop value that comes off the California
lands will not commence to equal what
is produced here. The San Joaquin
valley is being devoted more and more
to intensive farming and in the majori-
ty of instances the tracts are too small
to allow OF anything save bare living
in the opinionof Senator Douglass, who
says that people down that way are
looking towards this section as a place
to settle.

Perfect Confidence.

A physician was summoned to a
very sick man, who was very much
preoccupied with troubles of his own.
On arriving at the sick mans bed, he
said to his wife:
your husband is in the last throes.
Every movement shows that the end
is nearing"
At this moment the sick mans head
fell over the pillow, when the doctor
said: "The end has come, your hus-
band is dead"
In a shrill, thin voice the sick man
said:
"Tain't so, Maria"
At once the wife laid her hand on
his head and remarked: Don't dis
