Concert Last Nioht.

The twelfth annual home concert Of
the Whitman Glee club, which was Civ
en- in Whitman chapel, last evening.
was one of the best entertainments
ever given by a Whitman glee. The
chorus of twenty men were masters
OF every piece they undertook to rem
der, which showed the careful train
ing they have been receiving under
the direction of Prof. Elias Blum. Each
piece was full of life, which was due
to the careful expression given to the
Interpretation. The first number on
the program, I'VE Are Marching" was
probably the most carefully rendered
selection. Each song was heartily en-
cored, and the fellows gladly respon-
ded.
The reading given by Miss Hughena
Montieth Thompson was most pleas
ing and carefully rendered selection.
Her voice was extraordinarily good.
and the Interpretation given to the
selection could only have been accom-
plished by a cultured elocutionist.
Mr. Sterling's piano numbers were
greatly appreciated by the audience.
The first selection. "Hark, Hark, the
Lark" was very unique and was rem
dered in a very pleasing manner.
The trio, Prof. Elias Blum. piano,
Mr.. Glen Morgan, violinist, and Har-
Oiu AidWlOiu, 1CiiO, pay VI tIliSC
bers on the program, and they were
greatly enjoyed by the audience, who
allied for encores.
Manager Crawford thinks that the
boys and the girls clubs at the col
Iege have had such a successful year
that they should give a joint concert
to wind up the seasons work, so ne
has made arrangements to have it on
May 9Th during the interscholastic
track meet. This will not only give the
music lovers of the town a chance to
hear the clubs sing again. but will be
an lnducement to the preparatory men
who hear it to make Whitman their
college

connections with Seattle.
Senator Clark, in looking out for the
interests OF his home state, Montana
has his object in furnishing at least
part Of the money required, claim the
railroad men. This amount is estimated
at SIS 900 900 for Strahorn TO use in
building the North Coast, and secur
ing terminals in the larger Northwest
cities.
Tapped by the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern railways, both Hill
lines, Montana has been given highly
satisfactory transportation facilities
both east and west Now that there is
possibility the Southern Pacific
country, and particularly San Fran
cisco is to be made a goal by the Hill
lines, Clark has brought his immense
wealth into play in order to give Mon
tana the benefit of the connections
with San Francisco.
No New Move for Clark.
The Montana solon has been inter
ested in railroads before and built the
Salt Lake, San Pedro & Los Angeles
railroad. which he sold some years ago
to the late E. H Hartman for $S0,o00,-
900, reaping a. large profit. 1t has been
generally accepted by local railroad
promoters and those interested In the
prospects of new western roads being
built that Hill and Clark are on most
friendly terms. 5z
While it is admitted by them that
Hill is in no particular need of finan-
cial ASSISTANCE, capital which can be
controlled and used in the northwest
from now on is made use of.
The connection made in Montana
with the Gilmore & Pittsburg would
bring that state into close harmony
with the railroad program giving the
new road direct traffic arrangements
with the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern. 1t would place Dillon. Butte,
Silver Bow, Deer Lodge, Boulder var
ley, Helent, Logan and Bozeman in d.
rect connection with eastern. central
and western Idaho, central Oregon
California and western Oregon. TINS
mining state would therefore derive as
much benefit as would the other states
tapped.

Whether the American people are
vigilant, or whether they are indiffer-
ent to conditions affecting the gov
eminent of the country, is to be dem
onstrated once more. There are some
who go so far as to say that the next
two national elections involve such i'm
portant issues as to make them in re-
atty in the nature of crisis in the
history of this republic. Both demo-
cratic and republican partisans may
consider this view as they wi /; either
lightly or with respect, as may best
please them.
None will deny however, this fact:
That the next two elections will be
crisis in the history of one of the two
great parties of this country. 1t re-
quires no flight of imagination to fore
see that the progressive wing of the
republican party, now in the minority,
must become the majority. Otherwise
ne republican party would seem to
be destined for q long term out of
power.
This view is based on the fact that
he standpat element of the republi-
can party stands more thoroughly ex-
posed today than it ever did at any
time in its history. The genuine pro-
gressive republicans have worked
side by side with the democrats in
educating the people. The allies have
has been made strict Y political
commercial proposition by the men in
control of the republican party. The
tariff trusts of the country spend
certain amount of money as a cam
paign fund contribution, or to control
ocal po iticaf machines and in re-
turn receive the necessary protection
to enable them to maintain their mon
opo:ies on American markets. Without
competition, the tariff trusts are free
to boost prices on the consumer, and
thus collect from the peope sufficient
tribute to offset the original invest
ment. and to have left over a stu
pendous profit.

Starving Natives Riot

SHANGHAI, April 15.-The riot
ing of natives at Changhai contin-
ues. Already three missions, all sit
uated on the main street near the
rice shops. have been destroyed, and
today fears for the safety OF the other
missions were entertained.
1t is reported that the governor was
injured during the attack upon the
Yaimen, but so far as known there
has been no loss of life.
The provincial treasurer has asked
the government to supp y rice to the
natives in the hope of quieting them
The scarcity of rice due to its having
been cornered, was the chief cause
of the outbreak. Recently the III
feeling has been increased by an act
i've anti-foreign propaganda in which
the. lives of foreigners were threat
ened. Another grievance was the fact
that the British consulate was con-
structed by imported labor.

spraying, for the prevention of the cod
I'm moths the most destructive of all
app pests. All authorities say this
work should be done at once in order
TO secure the best results and all hor-
ticulturists have been asked to coon

Last year great strides were made
in this section, and the percentages of
good fruit, as result: was high. Con-
siderable attention is being given this
year to the eradication of the straw
berry beetle. which, in seasons past,
have resulted in considerable damage
to this popular fruit. The following
instructions have been given fruit
growers in some sections of the valley
relative to the best method of proce-
dure to secure direct results:
First Spray for Cooling Moth.
This spray should begin right after
b ossoms have fa len off; then the
calyx cup is open. This should be nut
