INSURGENT CONTROL
AND WHAT OF It?

There is little cause that we can
see for so much insurgent rejolC-
ing as to what that faction accom-
plishcd in the west at the recent e.
lection. In the insurgent states of
Iowa and Kansas, the tremendous
old time republican majorities were
almost entirely wiped out, the
same is also true in the two Dako-
tas. In Nebraska they won
nothing but the governorship for
which they can thank Mr.. Bryan.
In California alone, of all the pure
" western states, they won a clear
out victory. They also point to
this state as another field in which
they won great victory, but the
claim is for the most part spurious
although the insurgents gained a
senator and one congressman in
Washington, that is if they can con-
troll the narroWminded and turbu-
len. PoindcXter and make any use
of that notorious political skip jack
Warburton. They can probably
depend on LaFollette who will
doubtless be controlled by Cousin
Bob, - though the insurgent lead
crs in congress will probably have
to wake the. old Pullman farmer
up every time they may want him
to vote.
To offset such victories the in
surgcnts lost everything in Ne
braska but the governor, including
Senator Burkett, the entire state
ticket in Colorado, the governor
ship of North Dakota, South Da-
kota, Idaho and Oregon.
The stand pattcrs were in control
in Montana and Nevada, and sue
Cecded in holding those two states
except possible control of the legis-
laturc i'll the former
Thus the boosted insurgent con-
troll of the west, when Analysed, is
largely a matter of imagination. -

A BUMPER CROP
OF GOOD WHEAT

LONDON, Nov 16.-The de
mand and supply of the world ;
wheat has been computed by grain
authorities here, country for Coun-
try. and according to the figures
now available, the world 5 product
ion of wheat this year is 40. 900,
600 bushels i'll excess of the demand.
Here are the actual, OF estimated
quantities of surplus in the leading
wheat producing countries over the
demand of each country for its own
annual need. These amounts will
be available for expectations

DESTRUCTIVE FIRES
OF THE YEAR 1910

The summer of 1910 must be
put down as the blacklist season in
the ANIMALS of the forest district of
the northwest.
In Washington, Oregon, the pan
handle of Idaho, western Montana
and northern Minnesota there were
devastated by fire districts aggre-
eating perhaps nearly as large an
area as the whole of Ireland, scores
of lives were lost. Billions of feet
of timber was destroyed. The loss
estimated in dollars must be count
ed in hundred of millions.
Now that winter has come and
the rains and SHOWS have fallen
on the waste districts, putting
out the smoldering fires the for
estry officials are making survey
of the district and counting the
cost. They find that, roughly,
this is what the fires of the sum-
mer of 1910 have done:
They have taken more than
hundred lives, "a in the far north
west and 80, possibly so, in the
Lake of the Woods region, and
have made hundreds of families
homeless.
They have laid waste on the Bit
ter Root mountains a district 12O
miles long and 80 miles wide. This
in IS hours.
They have destroyed in southern
Oregon sOO,O 900 feet of standing
timber.
In the two states of Oregon and
Washington they have destroyed
billion feet of national forest
timber.
They swept a great tract in west
ern Montana.
In northern Minnesota they de-
stroyed 100000 worth of timber
IN ONE DAY.
In the whole country they de-
stroyed timber to the value of S175
900, 900 to 5000, 900, 900, the entire
lumber cut of two years, about
EIGHTY MILLION FEET.
1t is difficult to realize the eX-
tent of the losses. 1t is more diff
ficult still to realize that these loss
es in life and property were wholly
unnecessary; that with ordinary
preCaution on the part of the gov
ernment and public the great for
est fires of 1910 would never have
been. And it seems past belief
that the loss entailed by fire this
summer in Minnesota alone reach
es an aggregate equal to the sum
that would be required to cover the
cost of extending the forest patrols.

The banquet at hotel Antlers
rendered the N. P. officials Satur-
dav evening, by the Chamber OF
Commerce was attended by 200

Among the many pleasant things
that transpired, was the presenta-

station agent, an Ellensburg boost

watch, a token of respect from the
business men of Ellensburg, by P.

c. NJ. Faccett, president of the

was present and made nice talk
in which he paid a glowing tribute
to Ellensburg and Kittitas valley.
B. f. Reeds speech was OH the

thought, the hope and ambition of
every resident of Kittitas valley.
He handled his subject in master
ly way and created a profound i'm
preston OH the guests.
E. H. Snowden dwelt on the ed
ucational advantages of Ellensburg
with her excellent school system,
public and state normal school.
Dr. J. A. Mahan, president of
the board of trustees of the state
normal also told of the excellent
advantages of Ellensburg as an ed
ucational center, who year by year
was sending her trained teachers
throughout the state and Pacific
coast
J. c. Hubbell's theme was Kitti-
tas' fruit industry and kindred top
les, all of which he handled in
mastery way, and like all the rest
OF the local takers, did not permit
Our guests to feel otherwise than
wide-a-wake and in the hand of
their friends.
All present enjoyed themselves
to their utmost, goes without say
ing and the occasion was one that
will long be remembered by all
present. 1t is safe to say in this
connection that Ellensburg is
proud of the new n. P. depot, as
the company that built and owns
tit being the cause and founda-
tlon OF the glorious event recorded
in this article.

toll at Richmond, that inquiry has been
made
The original statute by which con
gress in 1876 set aside the former
chamber Of the house OF representa-
tiyes as q national statuary hall pro-
vided that each state Of the union
should have the privilege Of selecting
two Of its deceased citizens, "Illustri,
GUS for their historic renown or for dis.
tinguished civic or military services"
to be commemorated therein by their
statues in marble or bronze.
In response to the invitation of the
statute the Virginia legislature. Janu.
airy Is, 1903 passed bill, offered by
Don ?. Halsey, providing that one Of
the statues to be presented by Virginia
should be that of Gen. Robert Il. Lee.
This decision was arrived at not
without lengthy discussion and OK
tended comment. While the bill was
under consideration some members Of
the legislature expressed the fear that
It's passage might be the occasion of a
great storm of disapproyal in the north
and thereby rekindle sectional feeling
This fear led two members of the sen
ate and seven members of the house
to vote against the bill. These votes
were for the most part cast by former
confederate soldiers, to whom The
memory of Lee was too sacred for
them to risk any possibility Of hostile
criticism to the proposed presentation
OF his statue to the nation. The two
senators eventually realized that this
fear was not justified, and not only
withdrew their opposition to the bin.
but accepted membership on the com.
mission having the presentation in
charge.

PASSED FROM THIS LIFE
Mrs. George Crawford.

Mary White, the beloved wife of
George Crawford, died in this city on
Monday. July 1S, 1910 For some weeks
she had been in falling health, but the
end came SUDDENLY and peacefully.
Mrs. Crawford was born in Fayette,
Wisconsin, some fifty nine years ago.
For number of years she resided in
Darlington; and was married on the
9th of September, 1878, at the home of
her sister, Mrs. Margaret Brinigar in
Fayette. She came as bride to this
city and resided here ever since.
Although brought up in the Pres
byterian faith, she was confirmed by
Bishop Nicholson in 1898, and the
splendid impressions of her childhood
faith remained with her and made her
God fearing and God serving
woman. In the many trials and vicis-
situdes of life the spirit of the Cove
nanter in her Christian character was
always manifest.
She was a charter member of the
Eastern Star and q member of the
Woman's Relief Corps, and was always
interested in the welfare Of these organ
izations and faithfully fulfilled every
duty therein.
AS Christian and church member
she ever realized the obligation of
church going and giving, and regular
communion. Always charitable in
speech and deed, she leaves an example
worthy of imitation.
Three brothers, three sons and hus-
band survive to mourn their loss.
The funeral takes place this afternoon,
Wednesday, from Trinity church.
