Settle Irish on Columbia.

Spokane, Feb. 19.-Stephen w.
O'Brien, a mining man of Spokane,
who is backed by a syndicate of To-
cal capitalists in a project to irrigate
10000 acres Of fruit and vegetable
lands near Northport, 80 miles north
of here, has gone to Ireland to Or
ganize a colony of 5000 families to
make their homes along the Colum-
bia and Kettle rivers in Stephens and
Ferry counties. O'Brien has filed on
numerous water rights on the two
streams between the international
boundary and Northport, and engin-
GERS now on the ground making the
preliminary surveys for the canals
and laterals say he has control OF
sufficient water to. supply moisture
to more than $4,000 acres of land.
1t is reported here that it is planned
to have the Irish immigrants work
the land on shares until they are ia
miliar with modern tillage, when
they will be permitted to buy the
acreage at actual cost. A trained
horticulturist will teach them the
principles of irrigation.

New York and Baltimore. He mi

years ago wrote to his family that
he intended returning to Spokane
He has not been heard from by his
relatives since that time.

Stand Pntters Must Fight
Revolution in Sentiment Causing
Uneasiness in Congress

Washington, D. c., Feb. 10
Proofs multiply that nearly, If not
all the stanj-pat members of the
Senate along with those members of
the House whose terms are about to
expire, will have to fight for their
political lives at next falls primar-
les and nominating conventions. Sen
ator Flint of California, who owes
his seat in the Senate to the friendly
support of the railway ring which has
SO long dominated affairs in that
state, has read the handwriting on
the wall. and announces that he will
not be a candidate for reelection.
In Maine, Senator Hale, for the first
time in many years, is facing an act
i've and determined opposition to his
reelection, and the same is true OF
Senator Lodge in Massachusetts. In
deed, progressive republican senti-
ment is gaining ground as steadily
in the East as it is in the Middle and
Far West, and here in Washington
there has been of late much signifi-
cant discussion of a resolution passed
last month by the Central Republican
committee of Hudson county, New
Jersey, a state which, with one or
two exceptions, is represented in both
branches of Congress by confirmed
and chronic reactionaries. The reso-

respondence than Representative Pc
indexter of Washington. Just now
letters are pouring in upon him from
all quarters protesting against the
proposed increase in the rate of post
age on magazines, which, by the way.
will doubtless get before Congress in
the shape of rider to the General
Appropriation Bill. When the time
comes for action, Judge Poindexter
will be found opposing the proposed
increase with voice and vote. Such
increase he regards as a michievous
and needless departure from present
Observation-Disclosures, because ii
places tax on the dissemination OF
popular intelligence, for no one can
deny that our magazines as a class
are an educational force of the first
Importance, or that their circulation
is good for the country; and need
less, because if business-like methods
were introduced into the post office
the deficit of which so
much is heard would soon disappear.
AS matter of fact, what is most
needed is reform in payments to the
railroads for carrying the mails. The
government at present pays the rail-
roads more than nine cents pound
for their handling and transporta-
tion-nearly five times as much as
the railroads charge the express COM
panies for a service entailing a far
heavier expense upon them. Judge
Poindexter is one of those who be-
lieve that instead of raising its rates
to the people, which would be the
practical effect of any increase in
the postage on magazines, the gov
eminent should insist upon better
rates from the railroads, and that
any other course of action would be
grasping the problem at the wrong
end.

Malaga Valentine Party.

The Misses Mabel and Ethel Priest
entertained at a valentine party at
their home in Malaga, Monday eve
ming. The decorations consisted of
hearts and valentines. A large heart
was suspended from the ceiling from
which Cupid swung, thus affording
much fun for the young people as
they endeavored to keep out of range
of his fatal bow and arrow. A pleas
ant feature of the evening was the
hunt for candy hearts. The one find
ing the greatest number winning the
prize, pretty valentine. Miss Ella
Gillespie was the lucky one. Frank
Courtney received the consolation
prize. Later hearts containing
rhymes and fortunes to be matched
were given to each guest. H. B..
Courtney captured the prize for be-
ing first to match his heart. All then
repaired to the dining room, where
dainty luncheon was served from
small tables. Covers were laid for
IA. At a late hour the guests re-
turned to their homes, voting the eve
ming a delightful one.

years ago ran so high for time that
all but our very strongest men were
engulfed by 1t. Judge Poindexter,
then rising young lawyer in Walla
Walla, was one of small number of
democrats in various parts of Wash
ington who had the courage to stand
against it and take refuge in the on
ly political harbor open to them
the republican party, at that time,
however, in a seemingly hopeless
minority in our state Indeed, in
leaving the democracy, because he
could not accept the heresies which
thcn dominated it, Poindexter was
warned that he was committing po-
litical suicide, and old residents of
Walla Walla will recall that at the
time the change cost him a democrat
ic nomination to the superior bench
of the county when such a nomina-
ton was equivalent to an election.
Poindexter's stand in 1896 was who'll
ly in keeping with the rugged inje-
pendence and Indifference to person
al interests which have shaped and
colored his entire public career.
These qualities more than anything
else have made him what he is today
the most popular man in the state
of Washington, and I shall miss my
guess if they do not make him the
winning candidate in the contest for
senator"

Representative Humphreys elo-
duent declaration that the insurgent
of today is the regular of tomorrow
embodies a prophecy which is likely
to be confirmed before the present
session of Congress comes to an end.
1t is now regarded as certain that the
bills which will be reported from
committees and discussed by the
House and Senate before adjourn
ment will include a law providing for
postal savings banks, law reorgan-
izing the government of Alaska, the
administration measures for carrying
on the conservation of national for
ests and other resources; the amend
ment to the Interstate Commerce
Law, providing for an Interstate
Commerce Court, and limiting future
issues of railroad securities; and
President Taft's Federal incorpora-
tion law. With the exception of the
one last named, to which much op-
position has already developed, it is
also regarded as certain that all of
these measures will be enacted into
law, but if the reactionaries in Con-
gress can have their way this will
not be accomplished till each one of
them has been so loaded with amend
ments as to completely rob it of its
original force and purpose.
An amendment, for instance, is al
ready proposed to the bill providing
for postal savings banks, which
would erect system, designed by
its original advocates as public con-
venience and promoter of general
thrift, into nothing more or less than
a government market for the pur-
chase of inflated railroad and indus
trial securities. All of the other
measures on the legislative program
favored by the administration, and
pledged in the last national republi-
can platform, promise to undergo
like mischievous Transformation at
the hands of the reactionaries in
Congress who make submission to
present leadership the test of party
regularity; and it would not surprise
close observers If before the end of
the session President Taft, in order
to assure the passage in effective
form of the measures which he ad-
vocates, would. be compelled to
choose between a break with the
standpatters and close and avowed
alliance with the republican insur-
gents in Congress.

Resolved, That this committee
heartily endorse the action of the
members of Congress who are max
ing such a valiant fight against Can

express to them our hope that this
fight will continue until the influ-

pretty sure that the opening of an

radical changes in the makeup of
the New Jersey delegation.
