the situation out here pretty clearly.
We would like to see a western man
in the cabinet. But we would rather
see no representation at all than to
have a man in the cabinet who repre-
sents western corporation interests and
not western people. There are great
corporations which have their eyes
upon the public domain. In recent years
their greed has been materially checked
and the rights of the people have re-
ceived greater protection han before.
These corporations hope for the selec-
ton of one of their retainers for the
interior portfolio. We hope no such
man will get that place.

upon a new month February is the
shortest of the daughters of the year:
she is petite but she is spry. She
is short in the numbers on her list,
but she is long on holidays. Almost
at the start, February gives us
Grounding day-the official index to

us the birthday anniversary of Wash

there are stormy days ahead, but there
are bright ones beyond them. 1t will

special charm of it's own; the charm of
February is irresistible. We are glad

CABINET TALK.

Bryan is and Bryan isn't. Norris has
a cinch and Wilson will not consider
Norris at all. This is the way the
Washington correspondents amuso
themselves these days; they send out
n story in the morning and another
i'll the a~fternoon; at night they contra
diet botn If them. Each story is posi-
lively authentic" and each denial is
rade upon me personal assurance of
Mr.. Wilson of Mr.. Bryan or somebody
else.
Out Of all the gossip there shines one
statement which has not yet beer sue
cessfully contradicted. That is the as
surance given by the p~resident-elect
that he is choosing his cabinet himself.
He made this assertion early, and he
has reiterated it frequently since. In
some detail he has explained tina he
is seeking to form {, cabinet which will
be capable of good team work. On his
basis he declares that his failure lr get
n man may result in rendering ma
valuable all who have accepted. This
would cause him to take an entirely
now start.
This explanation makes clear the I'M
willingness of the pr~esident-elect to
divulge the plans he has formed for his
cabinet until he has his lineup COM
pleted. There are arguments before
him in favor of a western man. and
there are arguments before him against
n western man for the interior port
folio. He has been quoted as express
ing the opinion that an eastern man is
likely to be more impartial in admin
istering the affairs of the interior de-
rartment than a western man could be.
Perhaps he didn't say this; if he did

PRICELESS.

Charles E. Finlay, president of the
Aetna National bank Of New York, has
offered to pay a million dollars for the
establishment in America of the tuber.
culosis cure recently discovered by DR..
Friedman of Berlin, if the cure proves
beneficial in ninety-five cases out Of a
hundred. 1t is probable that this offer
could be duplicated in other countries.
1t is a manifestation of the keen inter-
est which is taken throughout the civil
LIKED world in the search for means Of
resisting the advance of the white
plague"
Thousands of rich men and millions
OF the poor are as deeply concerned as
Mr.. Finlay in the fight against the de-
stroyer which kills more human beings
tln proportion to their means they
would give as literally to this
most dreaded foe of life. There would
be no limit to the financial
which might be brought into use if
money would insure the final victory OF
science over tuberculosis.
All attempts to calculate the eco
nomic burden of this plague run into
staggering figures. 1t is a tremendous
tax upon industry and every form
Of material advancement. It's effects are
felt in every community, however small,
and in all countries. The world would
find it's much qu!ckcned if it
could be freed from the most destruc-
tive of diseases.
But there is an "if" of tremendous
Importance in the proposition President
Finlay makes. 1t is by no means GER
tain that the hopes raised by the Fried
mann treatment for tuberculosis will be
realized. The highest scientific au-
thorities nave not vet placed their
guarantee upon the new serum. The
tests made have not been long enough
and public enough to clear away grave
doubts. The offer made by the New
York banker is one of many factors il,
the problem which will tend to a
speedy termination of the exact results
Iof the Friedmann remedy.

XVI.-The City of Canton
BY Frederic j.. Haskin

! block together solidly, sometimes 20
painted, from 10 to Is feet long and
about five feet vide, having a good
cargo capacity. A bamboo outrigging
at the side helps to maintain balance.
Steering is done by one big oar which
works in a groove at the stern. h
woman of the family does the steer
ing, while the man and tho children
handle cargo and work the sail which
flaps invitation to any accommodate
ing wind. Frequently, the toiler at
the oar has Il baby strapped to her
back. There may be another in sWad-
ding clothes in a dark, dirty cubby-
hole beneath the deck, which is the
safest place. The children old enough
to take car Of themselves, and there
will surely be two or three or more,
are permitted to stay on deck. A two
by-four spot in the bow is their ex-
ctIsc for a playground. These people
are born, go through their existence in
this phase, die and are buried from
their sampanS. The river population
of Canton and vicinity is computed at
100000. Rapid breeding, and constant
recruiting from the pirates of the
West river further up, keep pace with
the high death rate. They nave no
schooling, no religion, no morals, no
hope. Until three years 6 not eve
Christian missionaries noticed them,
and their efforts today, lacking AIDE
quatc support from the homeland, are
like throwing bird shot against Glib

pirattcal and laWless. A body floating
uln"ticed and uncared for down the
stream some bright morning tells the
ale Of a fight or ~treachery the night
before. or perhaps days ago.
Another sir Of sainpan, larger and
devoted to different traffic, is known
as a flower boat" There are hun
drcds Of them, ana they are supposed
to give the gay side of Cantor river
lie. II &aNetN is possible there. Out
Wardly they are gay, as their vari-
colored bunting, pape flowers and
bright jlmcraCks make II pretty sight.
Fresh, lucky young women, whose ac-
cidontal beauty has saved them from
the sharp poverty and c%runching toll
into which they were born, live on
these flower boats" Except for these
girls, the river people are Stunned by
the people ashore. Being slightly more
prosperous, ANA knowing a triflc more,
makes them properly s~tandoffish.
The boat turns a slight bend in the
river, and to the right lies the city of
canton, u veritable sea of red tiled
shops and houses lining narrow, fairly
straight streets, To the left is the
island Of Shamccn, where the foreign
business houses and consulates are To-
Gated, as well as Il good foreign hotel
and some residences. Here the tour
list arranges for his guide, chair, cool
les, etc. Visitors are warned not to

Canton is the great joy town OF

features of this enhancing, beWilder-

become a blur. This grip on the globe
trottcr's memory is, very largely, well
earned, but is due in part to the fact
that it lies right in the path of con-
vcntlonal steamship travel ana is usu-
ally the first fearfully real Chinese
city to rudcly shock the brightly var
nished Westerner into the painful but
illuminating realization that wisdom
| will not die with him.
Canton is a quaint and at once a
busy Chinese city of 10000 people
approximately, on the eastern bank of
the Pearl river, so miles above Hong

and Singapore going north, as It mat
ter of course. Hongkong is also the
far eastern terminus of all the great
steamship lines, passenger and freight
between the Orient and Australia, the
British Isles, Europe and the Atlantic
coast of the United States. Every
body goes to Hongkong to get TO Can
ton, which is reached by boat, using
either the British, French or Chinese
line, or by the koWloon-Cautun rail-
way, Either route is Interesting, but
if one goes by boat, leaving about mid
night and sleeping until sunup, the
reward will be a view of action and
color not scon forgotten.
AT first, as the approach is made
rather slowly, a few JunkS are on

boats. SO it all is very interesting.
Not all lend themselves to the alto

ably the majority permit only the
throat and arms to be sun-kissed. But
there are always some who seem to
consider the day very warm indeed.
These junks, as well as the small
boats, which are called Sampans, are
worth a separate article in them
selves. The junks hold to the middle
of the stream as they sail lazily up
and down. Some are very olds being
at once the cradle and the bier of
their n%avigators. The sampans drape
themselves along either bank of the
river for miles, both below and above

FAIRGROUNDS

Editor Missoulian-I am much inter-
ested in the location of the new fair
grounds | believe they should be sit
uated where it will be possible to get
a full mile track, especially as the
automobile races are likely to be
a prominent part of the entertainment
program. There must be electrician
service to the grounds, also. The high
cost of getting back and forth was one
of the things which intcrfered with
the old fairs being successful as they
should have beer. | believe the street
car company would extend its line to
the old fair grounds if the commits
sioncrs would buy them. | read in
The Muscular the offer which was
made for the sale of this site. 1t seems
to me this is a good proposition. With
all the ground needed, this property
can be bought for $40, $50. On this
ground there arc already as good
stalls, worth S1,400: a grandstand and
exhibit building worth $1,000; and the
mile track worth $12,OO This makes
the cost of the ground only S4.46O. AS
| understand it. the necessary ground
on the south side would cost $4,000,
The estimated cost of buildings. ! am
told. would be not less than s14,5OO.
This would make the total cost over
there more than $50, 900. There is al
