The account given by the Right
Hon. Winston Spencer Churchill.
British Minister of Colonies, of his
expedition in British East Africa,
traces almost step by step the route
to be followed by the Roosevelt
party. During his trip Mr.. Church
ills English servant succumber to
a mysterious and swiftly fatal fever.
but the minister and the other two
white men who accompanied him
suffered no i'll effects from their
equatorial journey.
According to Mr.. ChurchilPs OBJ
|servations, it would seem that by far
the most interesting portion OF the
Roosevelt trip will be through the
Uganda Protectorate, where travel is
by foot, bicycle or caravan, unless
one elects to ride upon a seat borne
on the shoulders of natives. The
Uganda railroad, contrary to the
suggestion of it's name, does not pen
citrate Uganda, but only reaches to II,
its inland terminus being at Pors
Florence, on Lake Victoria. Not
until the railroad has been left be-
hind and the party enters Uganda
proper, the garden of flowers and
butterflies, will the supremest posi-
bilities of the exploration be realiz-
ed. Sinister beasts there are with
out number, but the forests that
conceal them are of SURPRISING
grandeur and the foliage of inde-
scribable beauty. The natives are
friendly, gentle of manner and OF
considerable intelligence. The air is
soft and cool. Yet the contrast be-
tween appearance and reality is
striking, for this enchanted land Is
cursed with malignant attributes
Every white man seems to feel
sense of oppression, and Mr.. Church
ill says that it will never be white

nant type, turning often in the third

ver." A daily dose of ten grains of
uuinine served to ward OFF malaria in
the case of the Churchill party.
The impression gained from Mr..
Churchill's writings is that the trav-
eler has less to fear from the fero-
cious beasts that inhabit the allur-
ingly beautiful Businesses than from
the fever transmitted from the tsetse
fly. which, when infected in man
ner yet undetermined by scientists,
becomes a deadly assassin. But the
zone of the tsetse fly is known; his
home is in the trees and bushes and
near the water, and he may be avoid
ed. Thus the danger from this
source, broadly speaking, may be
said to be proportionate with the
risk which the explorer voluntarily
assumes in the pursuit of his explo-
rations, allowance being made always
for bad judgment and the unexpected
fortunes of the hunt. Then there
are long-leg boots, gloves that reach
to the elbow and wells to completely
protect the head and neck. Mos
quito netting incloses the camper at
night, and in the morning he habit
ually empties his boots of any UNI
desirable Tenant that may have wig
gled in under cover of darkness. In
the case of the Roosevelt party Ma
jor Edgar A. Mearns will be always
at hand with his antiseptics.
But, however handicapped the
tsetse fly may be in the future pur-
suit of his nefarious calling, his as
sassinations of the past are worthy
of record According to Mr.. Church
ill, this deadly insect first appeared
in the kingdom of Uganda in the
summer of 1901, and within five
years had killed two out of three OF
all the inhabitants, no less than
geo, 000 persons dying from the poi
son which he spread. 'It might
have been expected wrote Sir H.
H. Bell, the governor of Uganda to
Mr.. Churchill, in reply to a query
on the subject, that, even though
the negroes showed inability to grasp
the theory of the transmission of
disease by the agency of insects, the

\. ?. GETS VAL
LIABLE LAND
$40, 200, 900 TRACT In IDAHO RE-
vERTs TO NORTHERN PACIFIC
ACCORDING TO A LATE DECT-
SION OF q. s. LAND OFFICE.

Spokane, Wash, March 18.-Ten
million dollars is the estimated
value of the tract, including 100000
acres of choice timber and agricultu-
raj lands In the Wallace district in
northern Idaho, which has just re,
verted to the Northern Pacific Rail-
way company, according to a deci-
sion by the commissioners OF the
general land office received In Spo-
kane and Occur d'Alene, Idaho. This
tract has been in controversy eight
years. 1t was classed as mineral
land by the commission in 1901,
when the railroad company filed a
protest with the department against
this classification. The first hearing
was given in 1902, when the North
ern Pacific gained a victory, but this
was afterward set aside and a new
hearing granted, after, much delay,
in 1905, since which some of the
ablest land lawyers have battled in
the courts. The company gained the
decision following motion to re-
view the case. The tract is south
and east of the city of Wallace and
covers 20 townships Acursory read
ing of the decision shows the com
pany proved that the land is adapted
to forestry and agriculture and was
wrongly classified as mineral land.

N MORO CASTLE
FIFTY YEARS AGO
DEATH OF PIONEER OF KLICTT-
TAT COUNTY WHO TOOK PAi:T
IN THRILLING ADVENTURE IN
FILLMORE'S ADMINISTRATION

Spokane, March 1S.-When the
clods of earth fell upon the coffin
containing the remains of Payne E.
Cleaves, in the little cemetery at
Lyle, where pioneers of Klickitat
county were gathered to pay the
final tribute of love and friendship,
there came to close the eventful
career of an unique character, who
played his part in stirring incident
on the high seas more than half a
century ago.
Cleaves, better known as Jack, !"
was a native of Cumberland county,
Maine, born at North Yarmouth in
1882, Of English stock who came
over on the Mayflower in 1920.
While apprenticed as tanner, he
sailed before the mast and was taken
prisoner by the Spanish Armada,
locked in Moro castle and finally
liberated by President Fillmore in
III. when it was discovered that a
merchantmen had been seized. Seri-
Gus international complications were
threatened at the time and the Incl
dent became part of American his
tory
Though proud of his ancestry, he
rarely spoke of his family, and his
only known relatives was the late
General A. NJ Corliss, retired, who
answered the last roll call at Den
yer, Colo, in October, 1908. Cleaves
served during the civil war and be-
came famous as an army cook. He
migrated to Klickitat county in 1873
and established the first hotel IN
that part of Washington, where he
was friend to the early settlers
and advised them in many matters
He was the most widely read man
in the country.
While his generosity and IMPROVE
ience left him comparatively penni'
less at death, his acquaintance OF
the early days did not desert him in
the hour of need. They provided
nurses and gave him every care dur
ing his brief sickness, and he cross

ever opportunity offered to shoot a
lion or two. The royal vermin have
profited by the experience of unfor-
tunate relatives, and now the stop
ping of train or a wagon is the cue
for the exit from the scene of this
willy animal. Hunters travelling by are
said now to drop unobserved from
their wagon while the vehicle itself
continues in motion. The absence
of the rhinoceros from this railway
review is popularity credited to the
fate Of an ill-ajvised member of the
species, who tried conclusions with
a swiftly moving locomotive. The
elephant is still more reserved, and
nothing but the rarest chance will
permit a view of him while train
of cars is within his sight. !
Contrary to popular opinion, per-
haps. the courage of the Roosevefs
party will not be tested by its emf
counters with lions, for this beast

disregarding the pitfalls of the rough

In the Staying of rhinoceros. The
huge body offers an easy mark, but,
the bull's-eye is the eye or the heart
Unless you hit vital spot he takes
his turn at you promptly. Mr..
Churchill got rhinoceros out of a
herd of three.
Mr.. Churchill travelled from Nom
bassa to Cairo, and his most posi-
tive deduction from his observations
was that the British government, In
preference to it's other African es-
tates, should concentrate upon

preme. But when l turn my mind
over all those vast expanses, ex-
GLIDING Egypt, there is no region
which offers the prospects to COM
pare in hopefulness with those OF the
Protectorate of Uganda. The Sou
dan is far greater in extent and i'm
portance, and Great Britain is at no
charge in respect to it. But the
Soudan is clearly inferior in fertil-
ity." The East African Prctectorate
holds promise less bright; North
ern Soma1iland is a desert of rocks
and thorn bushes peopled by rife
armed fanatics, and between Somali-
land and Uganda there is this con-
trast, "a barren land with danger
GUS inhabitants; and a fruitful land
with docile people. What is least

hold; what is most worth having is

tries bordering on the lake shore
would have induced them to flee
from the stricken land and to have
sought in the healthier districts in
land a refuge from the pestilence
that was Staying them by thousands.
An extraordinary fatalism, however.
seems to have paralyzed the natives,
and, while deploring the sadness of
their fate, they appear to have &C
cepted death almost with apathy
But it will be some time before the
party reaches Uganda and for the
first six months headquarters will be
at Nairobi,> from which point num-
berless excursions will be made.
Nairobi is the capital of the East
Africa Protectorate, and is 327
miles from Mombassa by rail. 1t is
built on lowland, and is not particu-
larry healthful, and if its $4,000 res
idents less than 600 are white. There
are 0,O00 natives and the rest are
Indians. Here is stationed brigade
of the Kings African Rifles, and the
town is the headquarters of the ad-
ministration and the central office
of the Uganda railroad. Before Mai
robi is reached the Roosevelt party
will have an interesting railroad
journey, which will be accomplished
with less discomfort than one
might imagine would be possible
over a road the locomotives of which
depend upon wood for fuel. Built
by the British government and stead
lily improved, the road has reached
state of creditable efficiency. The
roadbed is good and the gradual in
cline is overcome at fairly good
speed. When Mr.. Chnrchill made
this trip he occupied a seat on the
cowcatcher, and it is safe to say that
the Americans will be satisfied with
no lesser point of vantage. The
magazine reader may expect before
long to see pictured the members of
the Roosevelt expedition viewing the
country perhaps from an old-fash-
toned church pew fastened above the
cowcatcher of an engine. AS the
land unfolds itself before the trav-
elers, game of endless variety will
be seen, and deep gorges crossed
while occasional plantations of cot
ton. rubber and fibre and trim little
railway stations will give touch of
modern color to the otherwise pre-
historic scene. On either side OF
the train may be seen an endless pro-
cession of wild animals, which seem
to have learned that the formidable
looking locomotive cannot leave the
rails over which 1t moves through
their domain. Troops of zebras,
herds of antelope, black wildbeestes.
herds of red kongoni, and, in fact.
most every imaginable beast is to be
seen, with the exception of the lion,
the rhinoceros and the elephant.
Good fortune may even bring these
within the ken of the railway pas
senger, and at Simba, popularity
known as the place of lions the
guides generally promise the sight
of the regal animal. But this is 5ex-
ceptional, and the paucity OF this
game is due to the greed Of the hun
ter, for not SO long ago 1t was the
practice to stop these trains where

An exchange gives the following
recipe for happiness: If you would
increase your happiness and prolong
your life, forget your neighbors
faults. Forget all the SANDER you
ever heard. Forget the temptations.
Forget the faultfnding, and only re-
member the points which make you
fond of them. Forget all the per-
sonal quarrels or histories you may
have heard by accident, and which,
if repeated, would seem a thousand
times worse than they really are.
Blot out as far as possible, all the
disagreeableness of life; they will
come, but will only grow larger
when you remember them. Obliter-
ate everything disagreeable from
yesterday. start out with a clean
sheet today, and write upon it for
sweet memory's sake only those
things which are lovely and lovable.

The strike at Pittsburg is in pro-
cess of adjustment, but has served
to call attention to the condition of
the laboring men in the great indus
tries of Pittsburg, and if the state
ments about the attitude of the tar
iff-made millionaires towards the
workmen who are piling up their
millions are trustworthy, they will
help to bring about the downfall of
the Aldrich tariff schedule at the
next election. 1t is reported that
concessions in the way of better
working conditions and an increase
of wages have been made, and this
may help to avert a storm of indig-
nation over labor conditions at Pitts

The death of Edward H. Harri-
man last Thursday, at his New York
summer home, disposed of the ru-
mors of his approaching death which
have appeared in the papers, only to
be freely contradicted. The remark
able career of this man as railroad
organizer is almost without paral-
lei, and could have been possible on
ly in the United States. Hartman
was the son of an Episcopal rector
who ministered for years to a New
Jersey parish on an annual salary of
5000 a year, part of which went un-
paid. The extreme poverty of Har-
riman's youth may have had some
thing to do with his later ambitions
to acquire wealth, but it is hardly
likely that his widest youthful
dreams ever projected future when
he should control the destinies of
$1,000 miles of railroad transporta-
ton and a larger mileage of steam
ship transportation. His personality
was strong enough to affect the
price of corporation stocks to
great degree, while the reports of
his dying condition were rife. Har-
riman never posed as a philanthro-
pist and his business code was prob

ably as selfish as that of the average
multi-millionaire. 1t is to be said to
his credit that he has made repu-
tation for spending millions of mon
ey freely for the improvement of
the roadbed and equipment of the
lines of road over which he had con-
troll. Hartman death at the age
of 81 adds another to the list of vic
tins of the pace that kills.

Newspaper men are not the only
people to be occasionally stung by an
innocent looking advertising propo-
sition. Secretary Cosgrove last
week brought the wrath of a lot of
country exhibitors down upon him
for allowing an advertisement to be
printed on the back Of the official
exhibit cards, stating that lands can
be had in adjoining states at SIS per
acre and upward. The secretary
explained that the offending adyer-
tiser offered to print 10000 of the
offending cards for the privilege of
putting his advertisement on the
back, and the secretary accepted the
offer without examing the cards.
The complaint is not logical anyway.
The average land buyer is not look
ing for loW-priced lands but for
lands of known value that will pro-
duce crops and sell readily at ad-
vanced prices.

An Appreciation.

Editor Apologize Of the Cannon
Falls Beacon recently sustained the
loss of a little son less than three
years old and the following tribute
to his memory will find an echo in
many family circles that have been
broken in the same way:
Any tribute that can be paid to
the memory of little John but feebly
and quite inadequately expresses the
tender love and appreciation in
which he Was held in his home, by
his playmates and by the grown
folks whose life had been touched
by his joyous life. His little griefs
were few indeed compared with his
bubbling joys, which were in num-
Der as the sands upon the seashore.
There was no room in his baby heart
for anger or resentment, no time in
his busy little life for tears or for
the nursing of wrong; he won his
little battles by love and strength
of his little personality. The soul
of truth was John, and his little ma
ture was strange mixture of for
wardness and timidity, of fearless
ness and prudence. He loved the
sunshine, the trees, the grass, but
most of all he loved other little men
and women. He was generous, true
and brave. A splendid mind in
strong body, was his, with a voice
marvellous in its power and scope.
He had quite extraordinary beauty
OF form and feature and his every
movement was grace. He was such
a baby boy as one might easily antic-
ipate would grow into manhood of
great strength and of power for

Secretary Cosgrove's declaration
that it is the duty of the merchants
Of Minneapolis and st. Paul to pre-
sent the state with an adequate
exposition building for future fairs
will meet a general approval
throughout the state. While the
fair is a state institution and one
in which the entire state can take
pride in. it is true as Secretary Cos
grove points out, that it not only
means a lot to the trade of the
cities directly, but is splendid ad-
vertising for the city merchants.
And it would decidedly be judicious
advertising for these merchants for
them voluntarily to organize for
having such a building presented to
the state. 1t would go far to re-
move the widely circulated charge
that the city merchants are eager
to use the fair to advertise their
business and rake in the dollars
from the country visitors at the
expense of the state at large.
