1t was the third largest shipper of BIZ

said to have controlled 209 miles of

The Eagle maintains that although
the Water-works company made a
profit of about $1,OO0,O0O the last fis-
cal year, it is "a financial octopus

control of great banking interests. y
In this connection the Springfield Re-
publican says that it is the duty of the
government ito see that promotion
enterprises are not sapping banks
which it oversees" while the New
York World asks whether banks that
are merely gamblers tools can not
somehow be distinguished from banks
that are banks, so that business men
may choose for themselves in which
type to put their money!" The New
York Commercial calls the Kuhn bank
failure "the latest of long series" due
to the promotion enterprises of the
chief officials of banks, and urges that
"the law forbidding banks to overex-
tend individual accounts should be en-
forced strictly" Along this line the
Philadelphia Record tells us that mine

HOODLUMS WERE OUT,

Last night, while a party was being
held in a certain residence on the
west side of the city, a bunch of boys
of highly respectable families, boys
who have had their training and edu-
cation in the Bismarck schools, made
themselves obnoxious, and II the po-
lice had caught them they would
have been locked up. They took off
a window screen in a prankish at
tempt to enter the house while the
party was in progress and only let
up committing a public nuisance when
Police Captain Downing appeared in
that vicinity. Later in the evening a
lady on Avenue A 'phoned the Trib-
une office to the effect that someone
fired two terrific shots close to her
home and she could distinctly hear
the midnight marauders run as they
made their escape. 1t was a lucky
thing for those Young Americas that
they did not fall into the hands of
the police last night, but Captain
Downing says he has his lines set
for them should such capers be cut
again.

coast Is the sale OF the Phil.

Pacific coast Is the sale OF the Phil.
ippines to Japan"
1t Is a safe assertion that We shall
not sell. For these reasons: |. The
people OF the United States would
object, 2, the people Of the Philippines
would object, and 3, the great powers
of Europe would object. Our pres.
ence in the islands Is widely satisfac-
tory. That OF japan would not be,
but would lead to bitter strife. The
aspirations OF the educated and pro.
gressive FIlipinos are for i%ndepend.
ence under a republican form of gov.
eminent, and the declared purpose
of this country is to prepare them for
that responsibility. Japan in control
would forward no such end.
Coming from the Aguinaldo Aid So.
ciety of America this proposition has
a peculiar tang. The Mckinley admin.
istration was denounced by the anti
imperliaists for buying human beings
at SO much Il mead AS the price paid
Spain for the islands was twenty mil.
lion dollars, and the population Is esti.
mated at ten millions, the anti.imper.
ialists declared that we had pad two
dollars apiece for the FilipinOs, and
that the transaction was a disgrace to
civilization.
And yet here they are, advocating
a sale Of the same population to ia.
pan. They mention no figures. !
they think that human beings have
gone up since 1899? What price
should be put on the Filipinos TO ia
pan? How much have they improved
under our tutelage of fourteen years?
We did not take over the Philippines
without knowledge of their location,
or thought Of the burden. The Amer
lean peace commission at Paris had
the map spread out before them: and
while the treaty they had negotiated
with Spain was pending in the senate
here discussion in that body and in
the press Of the country covered the
subject of the responsibility proposed.
And We took that responsibility with
our eyes wide open.

n CROPS IN MAY.

Crop developments in Nav have not
lacked a scare in winter wheat and
some concern as to the corn area TO
be planted, owing to the cold, wet
weather over much of the important
corn area. The last week, however,
has been quite favorable for rapid
finishing of corn planting. and the
more conservative information from
the drought sections Of the winter
wheat belt have indicated that deter
ioration could be checked should rains
come in the next week.
The serious strain on the winter
wheat plants is still confined to south
western Kansas. Impairment in 9TH
er sections appears to be little more
than nominal, so that no great decline
Is anticipated in the June government
report. The cold May seems to have
been favorable for the development
of destructive insect life. Reports
from Oklahoma and adjacent counties
in Kansas report cinch bug damage
and the prevalence OF hessian fly Is
also commented upon in some import
ant territorq, but the depredations Of
these pests have not been emphasize
Cd to the degree that the drought
damage has in southwestern Kansas,
from which 1t is inferred they have
not caused any great actual damage,
whatever the concern due 10 their
presence.
While the speculative gauge OF the
: market has shown disturbance over
these reports, it is noteworthy that
the volume OF trade which the news
has stimulated is so much smaller
than in 9th erperiods of scares as to
be conspicuous from its lack of
breadth. This apparent Indifference
may reflect two things; e"aggeration
of the impairment, a not unusual &C.
c%urrence in crop scares. or the belief
that so great was the estimated har-
vest, based on the governments May
report, that the present decline in con-
dition still leaves a probable produc-
tiOn above the average.
The Northwest has had its first real
growing temperatures and the general
response Of the grain has been most
encouraging. There is a disposition,
however, to anticipate trouble in the
spring grain country, owing to so much
important territory in the belt that
has a deficiency in rainfall. There is
no immediate cause for concern. SO
that any present %uneasiness is bor-
rowing trouble. 1t is the exception to
find moisture so lacking that there is
real cause for complaint, although
where the crop has been put in on
spring blowing, or where it has been
disced in, more than the usual rain
fall will be needed to produce a crop,
which makes the market more than
usually susceptible to crop scares.-

JAPAN AND THE philippines.

Washington star: Somehow, when
ever the relations between America
and Japan are under discussion the
Philippines are logged in. Let us
get rid of the islands, say our SOCIAL.
ed anti-imperialists. They are a
source of weakness to us, but would
be a source Of strength to Japan. AS
Japan wants them. let her have them,
on the best terms we can ecure
Then the bothersome question of Jap
anese immigration will be solved. Her
surplus population will turn to the
Philippines and forget the lure of this
country"
This proposition is figuring in the
present controversy, and today's ca
sbles from both Japan and Russia men,
ton 1t. A Toxic newspaper suggests
that Japan ask the cession OF the Phil
ippines in exchange for the exclusion
Of her people from America, and a
secretary of the Russian embassy at

quoted Is saying that the only course
the United States can take that will

FORESTS TO ASSURE
ARIZONA Pure Water

Washington, June 3. Secretary
Houston has just approved an agree
ment beteen the Department of Agri.
culture and the town of Stafford. Ari-
iona. by which the Foerst Service and
the town will cooperate to conserve
Safford's water supply, which comes
principally from the Crook National
Forest. @f > + sgy- . ,
This is the latest one OF many such
agreements. According to the figures
of the forest service there are nearly
l 200 cities anu towns in the west
| which derive their water supply from
lands within the national forests.
| Where these cities desire it the gov
eminent joins hands with the citizens
for the purpose of maintaining a per-
manent and pure water supply.
Stock raising, for example, or anv
other occupancy of the land, which or
dinarily would be encouraged, would
be inadvisable on a watershed which
forms a source OF drinking water. The
forest service recognizes that water
is as necessary a commodity for wood
ed hill sides to supply as are sawlOgs
or mine props. A watershed area may
offer an opportunity to furnish the
greatest benefit to the largest number
through supplying an unpolluted
source of water for domestic purposes.
contracts like that just made with
Stafford are now in force with Cascade,
Colorado Springs, Durango, and Mani
tou, in Colorado; Salt Lake in Utah;
and Baker City and The Dalles, Ore.
gon. The famous Bull Run watershed,
which supplies Portland, Oregon, is
on the Oregon National Forest.
The cooperative agreement In each
case provides that the land may not
be used without approval by the town,
except for the protection and care OF
he forests. The government agrees
to extend and improve the forests by
seeding. planting and forest manage
ment, so far as the, funds for that pur'
pose are available. The city, for It's
part, assists by paying the salaries Of
the additional guards necessary to car
~ out the agreement, and contracts
to bear the greater part of the Cost
of any improvement work which 1t
considers Immediately desirable.

court on a charge of having obtained
property under false pretenses, was
dismissed on motion OF States AttOr'

Sheriff Barnes went to Bowman and
brought him here for trial. The case
was dismissed for lack of evidence.
