INDIANS PREDICT
SEVERE WINTER SEASON

The Indians have all returned from
harvesting pine nuts in the mountains
in the southern end of the county,
and now the paleface neighbors also
are enjoying the delicious nuts. When
II comes to pine nuts the whites are
as eager for them as the Plutes, and
when on the market almost every
body you meet on the street I crack

are about as large as a good siz-
ed bean and even better favored than
the peanut that is so dear to every
American boy. Besides having a de-
llcate flavor the nuts are filled with

healthful Every fall the Indians
gather In the pine nut country and
while harvesting the nuts combine
pleasure and work. All the lads and

the young folks indulge in dancing and
other amusements. 1t is said that
at these pine nut fandangoes many
love matches are made and the young
bucks secure and wed their squaws
according to. the tribal customs.
The crop Of pine nuts this season
was very large and according to In
dian tradition 1t means that the com
ing winter will be hard one. The
Indians believe that the Great Spirit
always gives bountiful harvest of
grain and pine nuts to provide them
with plenty of food through a hard
winter.-Baker Democrat.

HELPING IMMIGRANTS TO FIND HOMES

GOOD COUNSEL IN BOLIVIA.

There will be general and sincere satisfaction
over the news Of Thursday last from Bolivia
and an earnest hope that its fine promise will
be fulfilled. The new and constituuonally
elected President, Mr. Villazon was put into
office in place OF Mr.. Monies, whose term OF
office had expired, and a new Minister for For
elgn Affairs was appointed, In tine person Of
General Pando.
The simple fact that these changes were eff
fected in a peaceful and orderly manner, ac-
cording to legal prescription, ought 10 be re-
garded as a matter of course. though IN view NJ
the disturbances which have occurred in some
Latin American states at such times, and also
OF the loud threats which were made a few days
before Of violent resistance IN the seating Of Mr.
Villazon, it may appropriately arouse feelings
OF relief and qualification. The supreme sig
nifcance Of the incident. however, lies In the at
titudes Of the retiring and the succeeding presi-
dents and ministers toward Argentlna's award
in the Peruvian boundary dispute Mr. Monies
and his Foreign Minister not only refused TO ac-
cept that award, but they expressed their re-
fusal in terms so offensive TO Argentina as to
cause suspension Of diplomatic relations and
danger of war. Mr. Vilazon and General Pando,
on the contrary, are IN favor of loyal acquies-
cence in that award.
1t was because Of his inclination TO keep the
national faith unbroken that threats were male
that Mr.. Villazon would forcbly be excluded
from the Presidency. II was a most illumlnat-
ing exposition of the character of the opposition
10 him that It was ready. or professed 10 be
ready, 10 trampe upon the national constitution
rather than have courtesy and good faith OBJ
served toward a neighbOr nation. The success
of such opposition would have been ominous
for Bolivia. It's defeat and the triumph Of con-
stitutionalism at home and good faith abroad
must be hailed as full of good promise.

BIGGER GUNS FOR BATTLEsHrPS. e


According TO dispatch from The Trbune's
Washington bureau, the wisdom of employing
l4-inch guns on battleships is again being con-
sidered 10y the Navy Department. II has been
definitely decided not 10 install them the
Wyoming and the Arkansas. bids for which will
be opened this week, but it is reported that
the propriety of adopting them for the vessels
10 he authorized 10y Congress next winter is
receiving Mr. Meyers careful attention.
Whatever course the Secretary may eventu-
ally deem the best 10 recommend there ~
pretty well authenticated rumor that England
will place on her next hatteships guns of
greater calibre than she has used on the Dread
noughts now in commission or likely soon 10
be. Engineering" a London weekly which
seems 10 enjoy exceptional facilities for getting
information about British war vessels and their
armament, recently remarked that the next
'step will be 10 increase the bore OF naval
guns to 13 or 13l2 inches" Casters Alaga-
zine" another periodical Of high standing, says
this month: There seems no reason 10 doubt
that the British naval authorities are satisfied
with experimental tests which have been made
with the new 13.5-inch gun"
Imitation of the policy Of foreign countries
is not always advisable but The example OF
the power which has taught the world more
important lessons in naval development than
has any other nation not only inspires peculiar
respect, but invites inquiry into the consdera-
tions which have suggested departure from
precedent. Apparently the use Of bigger guns
than those on the seven or eight Dreadnoughts
now practically finished is merely a new APP
plcaron OF the principle embodied IN the one

to increase the damage which can DC wrought

question for experts 10 answer but whatever
arguments can he offered in behalf OF a change

IL is gratifying % know that before Secretary
Meyer will find il necessary 10 finish his annual
report 10 the President he viii probably have
obtained additional light on the questions he is
now considering from tests OF a new gun built
by the Midvae company. The readiness Of
that company 10 make a novel experiment with
ordnance IS by no means the first manifestation
OF enterprise for which it deserves credit The
Midvale company surprised the government a
few years ago by entering into competition
with the older manufacturers of armor plate and
by undertaking its rivals by about Sl00 a ton.
Its product more than met the requirements Of
the Navy Department If it's new venture
should yield results comparable with those Of
the other, they may not be without influence
on government policy.

LESSONS OF FIRE AND PLAGUE

The costly catastrophe at Monticello, in which
the major part OF that rural residence town and
summer resort was destroyed by fire. and the
action which Is being taken by the state authnri-
ties toward securing better sanitary conditions
at places Of summer resort attract renewed
attention TO the need OF radical improvement
in our methods of suburban and rural building
and drainage. The Ere in Sullivan County was
only one Of many such which have recently oc.
Cured In this very year a number OF large
summer hotels In various places have been
burned, and several villages and towns have been
destroyed. while for years the "autumnal ty-
phoid" Of this and other cities has been cor
rectly charged TO the account OF rural resorts 10
which the city people went in August for rec
reation and health, and from which they re-
turned in September laden with germs of dis
ease.
Now, 1t may not be practicable to make all
country hotels and houses non-combustible or
to apply to them such laws for protection
against fire prevail in large cities. The losses
each year from rural and sem-rural fires are
however, so large and the cost OF lumber In
these days is so great that the practicability OF
generally introducing some safer method of con.
struction may well be considered The devotion
ment OF cement and concrete building is one OF
the striking features of our time while with all
its enormous magnitude the clay industry
brick, tile and terra cotta-is scarcely more
than in its infancy. In this part Of the country
the resources of clay and also of stone suitable
for building are so vast as to be about as nearly
inexhaustible as any such natural resources
could be, and IL does seem as IL inventive In
genuity should In some way make it possible TO
utilize them cheaply enough to make them avail
able for general use. II may well be considered
whether even rural villages should not enforce
building codes which would make them some.
thing better than collections OF firetraps, and
especially whether summer hotels housing hun
dreds OF guests eaca, should any longer he built
like so many wooden packing boxes.
The desired Improvement in sanitation should
surely be effected with little difficulty. IL in
wolves not single problem which has not been
satisfactorily solved in manner quite prac-
ticable for general adoption. Typhoid fever and
the socalled malarial feTers are the chief and
almost the only serious ailments which occur at
summer resorts, and science has indicated GER
tain and not difficult means of avoiding them.
