THAT STAGGER
SPOKANE STATISTICS SHOWING
ENORMOUS LUMBER CUT
FOR 1909.
TOTAL STUdPAGE LEFT $4,000,
100000 FEET-WIIL LAST
275 YEARS.

Spokane, Wash, Jan. 5.-One bill
lion and two hundred and fifty mil
lion feet of lumber was cut by the
mills in the Inland Empire during
1909, according to reports compiled
by r. A. Kellogg, secretary of the
Western Pine Manufacturers associ.
alton, of which J. P. McGoldrick of
Spokane, is president. The value Of
the cut is placed at from $4,000 900
to $2O, 100000, of which 80 per cent
went for labor. Forty-two per cent
of the lumber was marketed locally,
the rest being shipped to the north
ern tier of states, as far east as the
Atlantic seaboard, and to the middle
west and Canada. Mr.. Kellogg says
the outlook for 1910 Is that the cut
will be at least 10 per cent greater
than last year. The total stumpage
in the Inland Empire is estimated at
$50, 900 100000 feet. This includes
the largest stand of white pine on
the continent in northern Idaho and
enormous tracts of other soft woods
in eastern Washington and Oregon,
western Montana and the boundary
district. Millmen say the timber
will last more than 275 years at the
present rate Of cutting, while If all
were cut at once there would be
enough lumber to ouild houses for
half the population of America.

ional patronage from those "1nsur-
gent" senator's and representatives

say, show no disposition to support

President Taft 10 reported as TAX

patronage to a representative of his
party, there is reciprocal obliga-
ton upon the representative to sup.

with the presidents legislative pro-
gram and asserting that instead of
using the "Whip' on them, the pres
ident should use it on those leaders
who in the past had opposed the
Roosevelt policies which Mr.. Taft is
seeking to enact into law.
On the part Of the president it was
said today that the withholding of
patronage does not apply to all of
the insurgents and has absolutely
nothing to do with their fight against
Speaker Cannon Or the house rules.
Victor Rosewater, republican ma
tional committeeman from Nebraska,
one of the insurgent states, saw
President Taft this afternoon. and

One Of the Hoaxss Perpstrated by
Theodore Hook.
In the early I,urt Of the nineteenth
century great preparations were made
in England to receive Spanish an
bassador who was expected to arrive
at Southampton. A mischievous idea
came into the head Of Theodore HOOK
(born 1888. died 1S4l,. novelist and
Journalist and above all contriver OF
that diversion known as the hoax. The
English feet was lying of Southamp-
ton. Hook, then young man. knew
many of the younger officers. he
formed bis scheme. and one morning
a launch set out from the feet ana
drew up at the quay.
In this launch was he who purporteo
to be the Spanish ambassador 10 al

fore the expected time. The mayor OF
Southampton, who was to receive the
Spanish envoy. was greatly clustered.
It was all so sudden. He did the best
he could. Several companies OF SOL

were called out. The bells were rung-

was escorted with much pomp to the

and speechmaking. one of the young
officers acting as interpreter for the
ambassador.
After it was over and the Spanish
envoy was supposed to be on bis way
to London the true ambassador arriv"
ed. There WAS but sorry reception
for him. The other ambassador, who
was Theodore Hook, having perpetrat-
ed the greatest hoax ever known on
a mayor and a city, had exhausted
the hospitality Of the town. The scan
dial was so great. the mayor and the
people of Southampton had been 30
outrageously cold. that to make any
stir about the affair would only cause
them to be laughed at all the more:
With the exception Of the dismissal
Of some of the naval officers who had
taken part In it little was done. and

both were elected. The president
says he has not turned down recon-
mendations of insurgent congress
men, but is simply preserving the
statu quo to impress them of their
obligation"
Many Of the "Insurgents" have
frankly told the president that they
would support him in his legislative
program which already has been
pretty definitely outlined. They de-
clared themselves to be republicans
first and last, and ray they will sup
port measures framed to carry out
the party platform. '''
There are still . few of the I'm
surgents" however. who seem dis
posed to carry on absolutely indie
pendent attitude and who are gener-
ally against everything that the
leaders Of tho party are for. To
mace their position stronger, they
are said to be willing to ally them
selves with the democrats. It is
against these so-called "Recalci-
trants" that the no patronage order
has been issued and 30 far as Pres
ident Taft is concerned it will stand
until the members see 1T to sub

lied. This provision is for the pur-
pose of enabling the committee to
procure the services of able attor-
neys to take charge of the probing,
so far as the directing Of questions
is concerned. 1t is the intention of
President Taft to have the commit
tee name some competent attorney
to conduct the case, and it is possible
that both of the principals to the
controversy may be represented by
counsel.
It was agreed by all persons who
have given close attention to the
Ballinger. Pinchot squabble that the
investigation should be open to the
public and this is ordered by the
resolution. One of the big rooms in
the new senate Office building will
be used for this purpose.
Jones' Speech in Introducing Resolu-
ton to the House.
In presenting the resolution, Mr.
Jones said:
1.-The various departments and bu'
reaus of the government are organic
ed to do its business in the interests
of the people. Every official is but
the servant and agent of the people
to act for them under and within the
limits of the law. The efficiency Of
public service depends much upon the
confidence of the people in the hon:
esty and integrity of their servants
and agents.
1T is bad commentary upon the
state of public opinion that the mo.
fnent man accepts a public Office he
becomes a scoundrel in the eyes, of
many of our people, and his previous
life Of honesty and rectitude is no
warrant of official integrity. His acts
are misconstrued and his motives are
questioned Insinuation and innue-
ndoes are freely made under the
guise of the public welfare, but in
reality to foster some private inter.
est. Popular views are taken advan-
tage of to discredit an official, who,
after Investigating all phases of a sub
ject, may reach a decision at wari.
ance with some private interests.
MANY do not stop to think how
seldom have government officials gone
astray compared with their oppor-
tunities and temptations for wrong
doing. In the hundred and twenty
five years of our national life few OF
the men in high positions have been
! actuated by other than the highest
and most patriotic motives. This
should cause our people to hesitate
to accept charges OF base conduct
against their public servants without
investigation and proof.
The press and magazines of the
country for several months have been
filled with charges against the pres
ent secretary of the interior and his
conduct of the office he holds. These

charges range from petty insinuations
and innuendoes to direct charges OF
malfeasance and misconduct Of Office
which, if true, show that he has
most unworthily discharged his trust.
A moments Thought should cause an
honest and fair minded man to hest
tate to accept such charges against a
man whose whole life heretofore has
been one Of the highest recititude and
against whom no dishonOrable charge
has ever been made in either private
or public life.
"Such a man is the present sec.
rotary of the interior. He is over
so years of age, an honored graduate
of Williams college and "a lawyer of
distinction. He came to our state
in 1889 and has lived there since. He
was superior judge for four years
and mayor of the city of Seattle,
WASH, and his administration of that
Office has been a model for his sulor
cessors. He accepted the Office at the
urgent solicitation Of Secretary Gar
field, who knew personally his sterl.
ing character and exceptional a:bil-
ity. He did not seek that office. He
accepted his present position only up
on the earnest solicitation of the
president. He did not seek it. It
meant nothing to him but hard work
and poor pay. He gave up a large and
Lucrative law practice simply at the
call OF patriotic duty. Is it possible
that he at once became the scoun.
drel and arch enemy Of the people
that he has been depicted in the pub.
lie press? l cannot believe it. If
he has used his high Office to advance
special interests, If he has sacrificed
the people for private or personal
gain, let it be shown. If, on the other
hand, the people have been deceived
and he has been unjustly accused,
that should he shown, not only that
justice may be done him, but that the

but one of methods. Assuredly there
is room for an honest difference OF
opinion as to how our great natural
resources can best be conserved. I
may agree with some of the views of
those who criticise the politics., the

tary, but that he is honest and patrio.

her. In six months time the itching.
