During the per iods oI the Revolutionary War he fought so nearly alone that John Fisk said of those times that tho Revolution virtually became 'Washing;on's war" Wher Washington. convinced that King George and his gov ernment were violating English principles of govern. meuJ in America. cast his wealth and personal ser vices on the side Of the coloHist there turn. ing back Between the day when he. a FirgiaiG Legislator became convinced that Americans mus resist mouarchca, invasion Of their rights, and the da Of the evacuation Of New York in 17S&, Washington never even dreamed Of defeat. Everything that he was and everything that he had was thrown into tho balance with the new Nation which has becOm- great beyond the dreams Of European State buiIe7s

The grea, English lawyers and historians saw in Washington the embodiment of that AngloSaxou spir; that when stepped on. exhibited it's teeth to King John and decapitated Charles He had little use for the theories the French Encyclopedias that were sc readily grasped by Jefferson and Franklin and Samuel Adams. and which resulted in the French Revolution But the spir, of British institutions and English fair play was strong within him. and eXer cised such control over him that his attachment for ;he nation as such was overcome and he successfully lead the most fruitful revolutionary war that mer ever fought.
 I, is peculiarly meet that Alaskans should ap- propratey observe the birthday Of Washington, for Aaskaus are struggling for the right Of selGgoyern ment and that was at the foundation oj the colonial rebellion that led to the revolution Washington stood for seIGgovernmeat, and was steaIfas: in standing To him it was worth more than temporary advantage in business or social matters political hOnOrs is so with the average Alaskan today.

 The Snake river harbOr does not seem such a re mote possibility as it did once. When the previous unfavorable report had made Senator Nelson was quoted as saying that impossible to get Congress 10 act favOrably matter which the engineer corps diI not recommend. He also said it was difficult Go get Congress to make an appropriation for a second investigation of project that had been turned down
 Now that the Chamber of Commerce has succeeded however in getting second investigation and favor able report the hardest part of the fight would seem to be over t is true that Congress is not disposed Co take action on a project not endorsed by the CE- gneers Of the army it ought Co be equally true that Congress is not disposed refuse application for an improvement that has the favorable recommends tiOns from the engineers Congress of late has seemed to show appreciation of the needs Of Alaska and disposition do what ought to be done for the de velOpmcn of the Territory. Possibly this attitude is due to increased knowledge Of Alaska or it may be due to the Democratic Administration. At any rate the Congressional state of mind towards Alaska aug CTS well for the Snake river barbOr when taken E connection with the OppOrtune report of the army engineers. It Is not likely that the chief of the gineer corps will negative the favorable report of his subCrdinate5. Nor is N likely that Congress will aai. to act in accordance with the recommendations.

CARTER ASKS COURT TO
. FORCE HIS RESIGNATION
Trustee Of Bishop Estate Has
Difficulty Getting Rid Of Job \

Appointed by the justices of the su.
preme court on March 22, 1909, as a
trustee of the Bishop Estate and since
December 8, 1915, trying to resign, but
without succeeding, is the story told
in an action instituted yesterday by
A. w. Carter against the remaining
members of the board of trustees OF
the big estate, probably the wealthiest
one in the Territory today. ~
The suit is brought against William
o. Smith, f. Faxon Bishop, A. +. Judd
and William Williamson. In this con
nection it is interesting to note that
the appointment of William William
son by the justices of the supreme
court as against the appointment OF
Charles +. King, by Circuit Judge
Ashford, as trustee to succeed the Hon
Samuel M. Damon, resigned, is still
the subject Of litigation, 49,.
Mr.. Carter says that owing to his
many affairs he is unable to give time
and labor TO his office as trustee OF
the estate and that for a long time
past he has tried to relieve himself OF
the duties of such trusteeship, but that
the remaining trustees have not Needed
his request. He has therefore, brought
this suit to force the acceptance of his
resignation. For long time past, he
says, he has refused and refrained
from accepting any commissions from
the estate. ,'r ..., ....

sion and the machinery which issued
permits was not yet working smoothly.
IL has been many months since a vessel
passing the port, going west, did not
have every Granny Of its cargo capacity
filed, and the Nippon, IL Is stated, had
everything offered TO her that she could
take, had IL not been for the embargo.
The officers state, however, that no
difficulty is expected about eventually
getting the permits for the eargoes to

was compelled to leave behind will be
picked up by the vessels following.
The Nippon Maru makes up some
what for her small cargo by having IN
her safe, under charge Of Purser Gfas-
set, the record shipment Of treasure ever
to be sent TO the Orient in one vessel

treasure to pass through Honolulu
amounted to six million dollars and was
on an Oceanic boat going to Australia.

With the arrival from the Orient
yesterday of the Persia Maru OF the
Togo Kisen Kaisha's intermediate ileet.

Hongkong freight paid for its space
in the Persia's holds on this voyage
sixty-one dollars ton, the highest
rate in the recent history Of the trans.
pacific commerce. On the other hand
freight from Japanese ports was
charged for at only twenty,three dol
lars ton, an unproportionately low
price even for the shorter voyage.
On the other hand again, the sub
sidized vessels of the T. X. X. are per
mitted to charge price only about
half of the Persia's japanese rate.
And still on the other hand officers
of the vessel state that the wages OF
officers and seamen on the T. X. X.
vessels have not gone up at all, or un'
appreeiably. 81. = .y'-.'

day $50 tons for Honolulu. There were

FARMING IN MEXICO
WILL BE ENCOURAGED
lBy The AssOciated Pressl

MEXICO CITY, July l5-A group OF
former students Of the Mexico College
of Agriculture is organizing in Mexico
what corresponds closely in many ways
to the National Grange in the United
States. The organization is not to be
secret, but has for its object the inn
provement of the condition of the farm
ors. It will promote the organization
of small cooperative societies to encour-
age farming and the building Of CO.
operative granaries. 1t is planned to
construct a model granary on one Of the
large ranches near the capital to serve
as an example of construction.
