Open the Rivers.

By sheer persistency in demanding
appropriations for the removal of OBJ
structions in the Columbia river and
its tributaries in the Inland Empire,
every year has recorded the opening
to navigation of reach of water
hitherto closed to navigation. 1t Is
vitality necessary that the agitation
by commercial clubs and other pro-
gressive bodies be kept alive and
alert.
Last week the steamer Yakima,
which has been removing the rock
from He'll Gate in the Columbia.
reached a point near Almira, in Lin
coin county, and the residents cele-
| brated the occasion with dance.
That community is now more deeply
! impressed with the benefits to accrue
from steamboat competition with the
railroads.
Lewiston, Idaho, on the Snake
river, had an object lesson in the
cheapening of transportation when
last year steamboats,, making regular
trips, brought freight from the Coast
at lower rates than the railroads
charged. Settlers living near the
Columbia at points from some dis
1 lance above Pasco and Kennewick
down to the Oregon line were also
/ favored last season by use of the
steamboats, for carriage Of freight to
and from tidewater cities in Oregon.
The great influx of population in
to all these regions and the vast in
crease in imports and exports Of mer-
chandise and produce, call for con-
/ tinuance of these boat lines and en-
couragement for the establishment
and maintenance of new ones. Let
all these communities, together with
Spokane and other inland cities and
towns, keep hammering at congress
for increased appropriations for and
expedition of this great work and II
will not be many years before water
craft will be familiar sights on these
great inland streams.-Spokesman-
Review.

Audiences Growing Large.

The audience at the union services
at the Methodist church last evening
was a considerable increase over the
Monday evening audience. There
were a number of decisions to begin
the Christian life. DR.. Stevenson's
sermon on the Heroic Element in
Decision was scriptural, practical
and forceful. He took for the text:
THE fear of man bringeth snare"
proverbs 1929, and MANY be-
lieved on Christ, but because of the
Pharisees they did not confess him,
for they loved the glory of men more
than the glory of God" John 12:42 !.
The speaker gave four reasons why
all should make open confession of
their Christian faith. First, because
Christ is man supreme and most
glorious Master. Lord and King. II
it is ungrateful in us to reject, or
even slight an earthly friend, how
much more ungrateful when we re-
ject our divine benefactor. Second.
because of our influence. As the cur
rent of the ocean helps to determine
the course of a ship, so We by our
example and influence help to decide

Lumber Rate Hearing in Boston

Boston, Feb. "a hearing of
great Importance to lumber men and
mill owners of New England was be-
gun here today before the Interstate
Commerce Commission for the pur-
pose of determining what abuses ex-
list in the operation of the milling in
transit privileges extended by auth

Quoted by the commission in Wash

privilege, and in some instances have
deprived the railroads of legitimate
rates by means of substituting bills
of lading.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES.
INTERSTATE COOPERATION.

Delegates from Spokane will en-
deavor to get the Aberdeen conven-
ton to adopt a resolution calling for
an interstate good roads convention
for the states of the Pacific north
west, including British Columbia. If
interstate interest can be stimulated
and cooperation between these units
be obtained, speedier results will fol-
low this movement.
There is no question more import
ant in securing the rapid develop
ment of the northwest than the one
relating to improved highways. By
interstate cooperation, a network OF
trunk lines of road can be provided
for which will facilitate interstate
communication and which will at the
same time minimize the cost by max
ing each road a unit in itself for
several states. 1t is true that local
needs should meet with first con-
sideration and that the speedier re-
suits will come from local effort, but
nevertheless, it is true that a move
ment which extends beyond a par
ticu1ar locality is a strong stimulus
to local activity. The larger move
ment will help along local movements
in this direction.

Says President Taft Leans Wrong.
Editor Wenatchee World: Sir
In what I am about to say I trust
I may be acquitted of any intention
to criticise Mr.. Taft in an unkindly
or unfriendly spirit. He is confront
ed with difficulties and embarrass-
ments and his political path is GER
tainly not strewn with roses, but
nevertheless the most inconsequen
tial of us when we happen to think
his tendency is in the wrong direc-
ton should not hesitate to express
ourselves freely. That is not only
our privilege-it is our serious duty.
For instance, the implication run
ming through his New York speech
of the 18th, that he considers him
self the chief of a party quite as
much as the head of nation, is not
likely to strengthen him either with
Independent or with lukewarm dem
ocrats, whose support or good will,
at least, he cannot very we'll do with
out. Apart from this, however, such
opposition is all wrong. A president
should part company with partisan
ship when he taken the oath of Of
flee.
But the most significant feature
| of his speech was a labored defense
of the Aljrich tariff bill. 1 cannot
| of course, follow Mr.. Taft into his
| figures and statistics, but the Chicago
Tribune, one of the staunchest repub-
lican papers in this country, has done
so and the result is not favorable to
| Mr.. Taft's analysis. The Tribune
| has also compiled a remarkable Ia
BILE showing that among the repub-
lican and independent newspapers of
! the west and middle west, the critics
and antagonists of the Aldrich tariff
outnumber it's supporters more than
| four to one All these newspapers
and there are no democratic papers
among them-hold that the present
tariff is unfair and that it has in
creased prices to the consumer be-
| yOnd reason. No one can doubt the
| loyalty of the Chicago Tribune to re-
publican doctrines, and for that rea-
son great weight should attach to its
findings in this case. What then is
the moral-simply that the insur
gents have been right on the que.-
tion-one of the most vital questions
concerning the masses of the people,
and that the president and the stand
patters have been wrong? Now,
| when a thing is wrong 1t is the plain
duty of every right thinking man to
| do everything possible to set it right.
What is the obvious thing for the
people of this state to do, the SIM
| plest and most effective thing? 1t
is simply this: Throw all of our
support to the insurgents so long as
they are in the right. And the first
thing to do is to send Congressman
Poindexter to the Senate,-also
Cummins, Beveridge, La Toilette.
Briston and the other progressive
republicans who are fighting the bat
ties of the west and middle vest
we need them there. And so does
the great commonwealth of Wash
!ington.

initial rendition OF Flotow's opera, Mar

This melOdious opera has always been
a great favorite with those who delight
in the frankly tuneful. being in fact
composed of what might be termed bal
lad music. and Iast night all of the beau

as enthusiastically received. as has been
the custom through a long term of years.

RUSSIAN TO GO FREE.
Examination Fails to Connect
Him with Como Crime.
SEARCH OF LAKE CONTINUED
Italian Police Do Not Expect to Find
Body of Charlton, Believing He
Has Escaped, While American Au-
thOritfes Continue Investigation,
Believing Him to Be Dead.

Como, June 1e-The Kings procurator
to-day concluded his examination Of
Spolatoff. the Russian held on suspicion
of being connected with the murder OF
Mrs. Charlton and later refused TO con-
firm the prisoners release. The proeura-
tor admitted that spolaton's completely
was not proved, and that there was no
evidence 10 justify his Indictment but
the prisoner cannot be released without
an order from the court. which is not
likely to be given before Lake Como Is
thoroughly searched for the body OF Por-
ter Charlton.
II is practically certain. however, that
Spolatof will eventually be released. He
only knew the ChaTltons because they
spoke English. The day the murder was
committed Spolaton was at his home at
Roggiano. The procurator has not al
lowed correspondents to interview the
prisoner.
Mr.. Caughy, the American consul at
Milan. is here. He says that he saw
Ambassador Leishman, who had nothing
to say. He wanted Mr.. Caughy TO know
that he was at hand in case he was
needed.
Lake Search Hopeless"
The police are convinced that searching
the lake viii not solve the mystery OF
Charlton's disappearance. but may lead
10 the discovery OF the blood-stained
clothes he wore when he killed his wife
and possibly Mrs. Charlton's Jewels.
a so-cailed trial of Charlton in con-
tumacy cannot be started unless the YER
sion OF double murder IS absolutely ex-
eluded. and If his body is not found In
the lake the authorities win assume that
he has escaped and win hold a trial in
his absence five or six months hence,
thus preventing the statute Of limitations
rendering his arrest illegal five years
from now.
From the evidence collected. IT Is as
suDled that Charlton murdered his wife,
and trial in contumacy will show the re-
suit Of the police investigations, and con-
vince the American authorities that every
effort has been made TO solve the mys-
terry and punish the criminal
Confident of Double Murder.
Mr.. Caughy Is stin convinced that a
double murder was committed, but the
evidence of Charlton's guilt Is considered
sufficient TO secure his conviction when a
trial is held. Hence. the search Of the
lake win be the last stage OF the investl-
cation.
Divers have explored the lake under
the landing stage where the trunk con-
tanning Mrs. Charlton's body was found.
The depth there varies from thirty to
! seventy-five feet, but beyond the bottom
falls away and the water is over 200 feet
deep. The divers discovered a bag, which
was opened and was found 10 contain
the body OF cat An immense crowd
which was watching the work cheered
ironically when this find was revealed.
The search has been abandoned until to-
morrow. The divers say that owing TO
the current anything thrown from the
landing stage is apt to be carried into the
deep water. 1t viii take days to explore
the area near MoltTasio.
