New York. April 21.-Interest in
the will of ]. P. Morgan made public
yesterday centered today in the ques-
ton of the value of the financier's
estate and in what disposition his son
would make of the vast collection or
Morgan art treasures. Less than
$2O,0O0,000 was accounted for in the
specific bequests made by Mr.. Nor
gan, the rest being the residuary por-
ton left to the son without mention of
the amount.
Some estimates made today placed
the total estate as high as $125, ,000,-
900 but according to a member of the
firm of J. p. Morgan & Company, not
even the son himself can tell within
many millions the actual value of the
fortune.
Until appraised by the state, for the
purpose of collecting the inheritance
tax, the question will probably remain
open.
]. P. Morgan declined today to say
anything in regard to the disposition
of the art treasures, but it was in
timated that he might have a state
ment some time this week. The treas
ures were left to the son with the
hope that "he will be able in such a
manner as he thinks best to make
permanent disposition of them or such
portions of them as will be substan-
tial carrying out of the intentions
which have cherished to render them
permanently available for the pleasure
and instruction of the American peo-
ple."
First Sentence of VIII.
'I commit my soul into the hands
of my Savior, in full confidence, hav-
ing redeemed it and washed in His
most precious blood, He will present
it faultless before the throne of my
Heavenly Father; and I entreat my
children to maintain and defend, at
all hazards and at any cost of per-
sonal sacrifice, the blessed doctrine of
the complete atonement for sin
the blood of Jesus Christ,
once offered, and through that
alone.''
This is the striking utterance which
begins the last will and testament of
John Pierpont Morgan, who died at

Customs.

LONDON, Sept. 20-Deploring the

to revive the courtesy of the past in

commenced business in picturesque

members of the league naturally at
tract considerable attention in the
crowded streets, and when a crowd had
gathered, they are supposed to address
short homily to the assembled throng
on the pressing need of retaining the
courtesy and respect to greatness
which were so characteristic of past
age Some of the members find their
courage fail them at this point but
others conscientiously carry out their
missionary duties.

as much need for courtesy nowadays
as in the past generations" said A. e.

league.

but the attitude we are taking up is the |
only way to bring the objects of the |
league home to the people England |

New System at Yale.

Yale starts a new system of coach
ing this year. Howard Jones will take
charge of Ellis football hopes for a
period of three years and it is hoped
he will establish a system of play as
sound as that shown by Percy Haugh-
ton, at Harvard. Heretofore Yale has
changed head coaches annually, except
that Walter Camp retained his place as
advisor Camp will continue to act
in this capacity with Jones.
Captain Ketcham is the only ALL
American star in the Yale lineup.
Line-men Talbot, Pendleton, Warren,
Cooney, and Avery, of last years team
will again be in their places, but the
line will have to be filled out from
last years freshman eleven and the
substitutes. Not single regular
member of last years back field will
be on hand. Philbin, and Spalding
graduated Lefty Flynn left school,
Tommy Cornell, quarter, will probably
be shifted to half or full back Pun
plelly, the substitute back, who gained
fame by making the kick which tied
the Princeton score last year, Merkle,
and Castles are expected to take places
as regulars.

CONTRIBUTION THAT DOESN'T PAY

CONTRIBUTION THAT DOESN'T PAY
In the columns of this paper are
named a few of the many citizens of
Colfax and vicinity that are attending
the Spokane Interstate fair, held in
Spokane this week, says the ColfaX
Commoner This brings to mind the
much talked-of fact of this community
that the people of Colfax and vicinity
are supporting Spokane institutions
and business enterprises the same as
they have for years.
1t seems that the business men and
newspapers and amusement houses of
Spokane look on this profitable trade
from the richest agricultural district in
the world as heritage; they believe it
belongs to them and the idea of reci
procity, it seems, has never occurred to
them They do not think that they owe
anything for this bounteous trade and
loyal support, not even a mere thank
you"
This Indifference and ingratitude
on the part of Spokane is becoming
more and more calling to this com
munity and in time will undoubtedly
take the form of general revolt oil
boycott. This has been shown to
some degree in the past, when the
Colfax Commercial club refused the
invitation from Spokane to partici
commercial club of Colfax refused
to participate in the Pow Wow
was brought before the commercial
bodies in Spokane, but they treated
the fact with the same Indifference.
The opinion of the people of this
community of the Indifference of tie
Spokane papers to Colfax was dem
onstrated by the subscription list that
the Portland Oregonian secured
when it was found that the Oregon
ian could be delivered here the same |
day it was printed, by a little change |
in the railroad time card.
We wonder just how many Spo-
kane people, conscious of the fact
that this district and county have
materially to the success
of the Spokane fair, will be in Colfax
during the Whitman county fair,
which will be held on October GIL.
How many of them will ever give
this district a thought when the news
Of the opening of our fair is an
nounced through the press, and how
many will take enough interest in :
this city to come to Colfax and spend .
4 few days here when we are enter
aiming the Whitman county visitors.
The lack of interest which Spo-
ZANE people show in the territories
hat support all of Spokane's indus
.ries is shameful and is deserving of
Every cent spent in Spokane will be
ost to this city forever. IS.
