IN A MINOR KEY The Brooklyn Eagle, which has been leading in the effort to boom Cleveland for the Democratic nomination for president publishes the following from Saratoga: The news that Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall, and other important Democrats of great influence have agreed among themselves and with national Democrats of great influence to elect a New York delegation for ex-president Cleveland next year reached Saratoga recently. It was conveyed in a letter to Henry Stafford Little of New Jersey, an associate of Cleveland on the board of trustees of Princeton University, who is now a guest at the Grand Union hotel. The letter was written by ex-senator James B. Smith, Jr., a Democratic state leader of New Jersey, and with certain personal passages eliminated, follows: "I was very glad to hear from you and to learn that you are at the spring of health and hope you will return home good and strong. I read your article as it appeared in the Herald on Cleveland. It was strong and to the point. You and I will be put down as Cleveland boomers by and by, but if our people are as sensible as I take them to be they can elect him. He is the only man they can elect at this time. I conferred with Tammany leaders soon after the article appeared on April 26th, and met Charles F. Murphy and a number of other New York Democrats, and they all agreed with me that the only thing to do was to nominate Cleveland. "I am sure that New York state will be in line for him at the convention. So will the whole East and West." ters sent to Secretary Corleyou with reference to the government printing office which define the attitude of the administration in connection with the subject discussed. They are sent for your information and guidance, as they indicate the policy of the president in this matter." The letters to Secretary Cortelyou were written on July 13 and 14. The salient sentence of the first letter was: "There is no objection to the employes of the government printing office constituting themselves into a union if they so desire, but no rules or resolutions of that union can be permitted to over-ride the laws of the United States, which it is my sworn duty to enforce." In the letter of the 14th the president quoted the finding of the anthracite strike commission regarding the employment of labor, as follows: "It is adjudged and awarded that no person shall be refused employment or in any way discriminated against on account of membership or non-membership in any labor organization, and that there shall be no discrimination or interference with any employee who is not a member of any labor organization by members of such organization." Concerning this principle, the president wrote: "It is, of course, mere elementary decency to require that all government departments shall be handled in accordance with the principle thus clearly and fearlessly enunciated." THEODORE ROOSEVELT, JR., accompanied by his cousin George, has started Deadwood, N. D., on a BRADFORD SPEAKS APPROVES JOINT ACTION BY WATER COMPANIES Charges Sherwood With Misrepresentation and Placing Matters In False Light Before Irrigators EDITOR GAZETTE:—I have refrained from going into print, as I think very little of a newspaper controversy, but as I have noticed many things relative to our rights and other matters published by Mr. Sherwood which are liable to cost the stockholders much money and annoyance, patience has ceased to be a virtue. In this article I refrain in many legal points from giving more fully the points at issue. Since Mr. Sherwood's articles have appeared misrepresenting the motives, misconstrucing things, and putting the joint matters in such a false light before the stockholders, I feel that a correct and true statement of the condition of affairs is due to the stockholders. The majority, as he terms it, has as much at stake as he has and it is their aim to protect the interests of the stockholders and to do what is for the best interest of the company. Every stockholder sees the need of more water, and we are trying to secure it in the best, most practical, and cheapest way possible. The methods used last year with the S. A. V. I. Co. in trying to get an agreement were so devoid of business principles, and the demands made by a representative of this company were so plainly one-sided and selfish, that after a great deal of patience, and seeing that there was no possibility of the Herald on Cleveland. It was strong and to the point. You and I will be put down as Cleveland boomers by and by, but if our people are as sensible as I take them to be they can elect him. He is the only man they can elect at this time. I conferred with Tammany leaders soon after the article appeared on April 26th, and met Charles F. Murphy and a number of other New York Democrats, and they all agreed with me that the only thing to do was to nominate Cleveland. "I am sure that New York state will be in line for him at the convention. So will the whole East and Middle West. Whether Bryan has friends who can beat him is hard to tell. Yours very truly, "JAMES B. SMITH, JR." The Eagle correspondent goes on to say: The statement in ex-Senator Smith's letter confirms in authoritative terms the first announcements published in the Eagle that Tammany Hall will declare for Cleveland and that New Jersey will vote for his nomination in the national convention. It is expressly denied by men here who are competent to speak for the party organizations of New York and New Jersey that there is any machine movement in existence or in contemplation to bring about Cleveland's nomination. Cleveland's friends say he would certainly object to such a movement or to any semblance of constructive politics in his behalf. COMMISSIONER RICHARDS, of the general land office in Washington has given out a preliminary statement showing the operations of his department during the past fiscal year. There were 19,742,000 acres public land that passed to private ownership, an increase of about 3,000,000 over the previous year. The cash receipts were about $10,560,000 an increase of nearly 70 per cent over 1902. About three-quarters of these receipts go into the arid land reclamation fund, which now amounts to about $15,000,000. This money is immediately available for national irrigation work. In estimating the probable amount appropriated under new irrigation law, only $2,500,000 annually was allowed as the probable increase to the fund the figures of the past year present a startling excess over the estimates, and put this irrigation work into the class of formidable national enterprises. During the fiscal year ending June 30th, there were 9865 entries of public lands in California under all land laws against 6801 entries in 1902. The total acreage of entries this year was 939,180 against 655,966 with any employee who is not a member of any labor organization by members of such organization." Concerning this principle, the president wrote: "It is, of course, mere elementary decency to require that all government departments shall be handled in accordance with the principle thus clearly and fearlessly enunciated." THEODORE ROOSEVELT, JR., accompanied by his cousin George, has started for Deadwood, N. D., on a hunting trip. The boys will be under the guidance of friends of the president. DEFINITE statement is made from Washington that Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock is not in the slightest danger of being forced to retire from the cabinet on account of the discovery of gigantic frauds in Indian land dealings, and in other land branches of his department. His case has been laid before the president, not by Hitchcock or his friends, but by his enemies, and the president absolutely upholds all that he has done, as President McKinley did, when men who were trying to get possession of oil lands in California in an irregular and easy way tried to have him ousted by bringing political and financial pressure to bear. Some of the men who are now fighting him on account of Indian land frauds are the same who were retained in the California oil cases to fight him politically, and cause his retirement from the cabinet. Secretary Hitchcock is extremely unpopular in Washington, and always has been. That is because he is extremely unapproachable. He cannot be influenced one way or another on anything, but insists upon taking all the definite information he can get and making his own decision. If, after making the decision, he finds himself wrong, he will change without the least hesitation. He is determined to prevent land stealing throughout the West, and also determined to prevent land grabbers from grafting on government irrigation projects, where great opportunities for land stealing exist, unless the interior department can devise regulations to prevent. Under his directions a complete investigation will be made into all the land operations everywhere, and particular attention will be paid to irregularities that are known to have existed in California, Oregon and Washington. The rate of progress in domestic much at stake as he has and it is their aim to protect the interests of the stockholders and to do what is for the best interest of the company. Every stockholder sees the need of more water, and we are trying to secure it in the best, most practical, and cheapest way possible. The methods used last year with the S.A.V.I.Co. in trying to get an agreement were so devoid of business principles, and the demands made by a representative of this company were so plainly one-sided and selfish, that after a great deal of patience, and seeing that there was no possibility of coming to an agreement, it is no wonder that the S.A.V.I.Co. dropped the whole matter. And they would be compelled to do the same again if like methods were again attempted with them. At every conference if one objection was argued away and overcome, another even more unreasonable was presented. At that time Mr. Sherwood remarked to me that if we could get them in on these terms our portion of the joint cement canal would cost us only 40 cents per lineal foot and we would get a cement canal for that figure. Yet now he says nothing will be saved by constructing jointly, but that the expense will be rather increased. Now these two assertions do not tally very closely. Mr. Sherwood also states that the S.A.V.I.Co. can only levy 50 cents assessment per share per year. I do not accuse him of ignorance of the facts in the matter for I believe the statement was made solely to raise what might look like another objection to proposed joint plans. Any stockholder by enquiring or by telephoning to the S.A.V.I.Co. office at Orange can learn that they have the power to levy one 65-cent assessment after another all through the year if they choose. And having 17,000 shares of stock issued this brings $10,000 each assessment. Mr. Sherwood further states in a recent article that there is no need of their coming into our right of way in order to save the amount of water now being lost, but that the water can be divided at our heads gates. So it could and we would get all we desire in that part of the river, but on the other hand what would the S.A.V.I.Co gain? not farthing and not a drop of water. How could they ever be then expected to consent to such a plan? They would be spending money to cement a ditch for our benefit entirely. Their water would then be turned back into the river bed and go down to their headgate and part of it be lost in the sands. It has been also claimed that there is no hurry in the matter. But has it not been dragging for four years while our consulting attorneys have been strongly recommending the plan of getting together more closely and saving the water as a protection in legal matters that ought not to be publicly discussed at this time. I will gladly give to any stockholder in private further explanations on these points. It has also been claimed that no attempts have been made to secure a appropriated under new irrigation law, only $2,500,000 annually was allowed as the probable increase to the fund the figures of the past year present a startling excess over the estimates, and put this irrigation work into the class of formidable national enterprises. During the fiscal year ending June 30th, there were 9865 entries of public lands in California under all land laws against 6801 entries in 1902. The total acreage of entries this year was 939,180 against 655,966 acres in 1902. The receipts from sales of lands, fees and commissions were $877,735 against $336,208 last year. California's contribution to the arid land reclamation fund through land sales in 1901 and 1902 amounted to $503,630, and of this year's receipts about $650,000 will go into the fund, making a total of $1,150,000 contributed by California. Only 1723 acres were entered in Alaska during the last fiscal year. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT has made applicable to all departments of the government service the principle he enunciated at the time he reinstated William A. Miller to the position in the government printing office, from which Miller had been dismissed because of a disagreement with the bookbinders' union. The president has plainly stated to the members of his cabinet that that principle is "to indicate the policy of the president" in similar cases. Recently the president authorized the publication of a statement which was sent to each member of his cabinet on July 22. The letter was signed by Mr. Barnes, acting secretary to the president, and is as follows: "My dear sir: The president directs me to send to you herewith for your information copies of two let-grabbers from grafting on government irrigation projects, where great opportunities for land stealing exist, unless the interior department can devise regulations to prevent. Under his directions a complete investigation will be made into all the land operations everywhere, and particular attention will be paid to irregularities that are known to have existed in California, Oregon and Washington. The rate of progress in domestic exports made by the chief countries of the world is the subject of a compilation by the United States bureau of statistics. It proves conclusively, says an English authority, that commercial prosperity has developed far more rapidly and in a far more satisfactory manner in the countries that have reformed their tariff than in Britain, where the conditions prevailing in the middle of last century are still maintained. It is an elaboration of Mr. Gladstone's famous phrase, "America is passing us by in a canter." The net result of the statistics is humiliating for this country. Taking the two countries that compete most seriously with Great Britian, the following figures of exports show how the relative prosperity of the United States and Germany has utsripped that of this country. The figures are millions sterling: 1870. 1880. 1890. 1903. United Kingdom.....194 217 256 256 United States.....75 165 169 278 Germany.....110 137 188 223 These figures, it should be remembered, are American, and are arrived at by taking as a basis for calculation that five dollars are equivalent to one pound. In the London board of trade annual statement the exports of the United Kingdom are placed at over (Continued on page 4.)" It has been also claimed that there is no hurry in the matter. But has it not been dragging for four years while our consulting attorneys have been strongly recommending the plan of getting together more closely and saving the water as a protection in legal matters that ought not to be publicly discussed at this time. I will gladly give to any stockholder in private further explanations on these points. It has also been claimed that no attempts have been made to secure a right of way from Irvine. This is not true as various attempts have been made and the one reply is given that he will not sell the right of way or his riparian rights in any other way than by getting the compensation in water. Mr. Sherwood also stated at the meeting of July 31st, in presence of a number of stockholders that it was impossible to go to the Scully Narrows with a ditch and gave as an illustration the experience of the Riverside Power company, which had put its canal into the river at a place practically the same as the Scully Narrows, and that they first flood rain washed the canal out and damaged it badly. The latter is true, the canal was washed out, but if he had explained the cause, it would have put things in a very different light, but at the same time would have completely killed the point he was trying to make. The engineer in charge gave us the reason, saying that he had told the contractor to throw up a dirt bank so as to stop the intake to the canal as any flood coming down would otherwise enter the canal and wash it out; but the contractor's answer was that he had lived along the river for 25 years, and that no rain ever came at that time of year to do any harm. In this he was mistaken for the rain came and he was unprepared. Had there been proper headgates, or even a dam the river would have gone by without doing any harm. These explanations were made in Mr. Sherwood's presence, yet he withheld them from the public. The real fact is that the natural condition at Scully Point are very favorable for the construction of headworks, but FORD SPEAKS JOINT ACTION BY WATER COMPANIES AZETTE:—I have refrained into print, as I think very newspaper controversy, but noticed many things relative to and other matters publ Mr. Sherwood which are most the stockholders much annoyance, patience has a virtue. In this article I many legal points from giving the points at issue. Sherwood's articles have appeared the motives, things, and putting them in such a false light beckolders, I feel that a corpure statement of the conditions is due to the stockholders.arity, as he terms it, has as take as he has and it is their protect the interests of the and to do what is for the of the company.

Mr. Eaton says that further investigation is advisable before putting into effect his plans. And after these tests have been made as recommended by him we can tell whether to adopt his plans or to go to Scully Point as was originally intended. The S. A. V. I. Co. thinks the Scully proposition is the best and I am too of the opinion that it will be found preferable. This question being undecided is why the litigation committee report does not contain an outlined plan for joint work above the division gate. One of the two methods must be executed as the water to be secured is of too great value to be lost or neglected by either of the two companies. Mr. Eaton's report shows that 250 inches of our water seeps back into the river and is lost between the division gate and the head gate. Three different engineers, two employed by joint agreement and one a government engineer have examined the river and made measurements to determine the flow of water, and where was the best place to take the water out, and every one has decided in favor of Scully Point as showing more water on the surface than at any other place. The least favorable of all the measurements showed an increase of 268 inches at that point. Our share of this gain amounts to 134 inches, and this added to the above mentioned 250 inches to be saved between the division gate and the head gate makes a total of 384 inches during the time of scarcity in the summer. What this water is worth to us, every stockholder knows, and he should also know that we can never save that water unless we go in jointly. The court, years ago decided the division of the water, or others did by consent, and it was agreed to divide it at where is now our division gate. The place was poorly chosen and we are UPAROUND HOQUIAM PROGRESSIVE TOWN IN SI-WASH COUNTRY Former Anahelmer Becomes Prominent Settler in Sawmill District, and is Doing Well. Herman Fesenfield, an old-time Anahelmer, now a resident of Hoquiam, Wash., sends us an interesting account of the history, past and present, of his chosen home. Herman is doing well in the northern country, whereas his many friends hereabout will rejoice. The story of the region reads as follows: Hoquiam in name as well as in business is closely connected with the trees which cover the valleys and stud the hillsides surrounding. The name is a contraction of the Indian word, "Hoquiampts," which means "hungry wood." In the days long before the white man showed his face upon the Pacific slopes of the Northwestern country, the red men came along the coast in their canoes and paddled through what is now Gray's Harbor. Upon nearing the first river they encountered and paddling up its waters for several miles they beheld a forest of mighty cedars and stately firs standing along the shores and upon the hillsides, bereft of branches, with the bark and sap peeled off, dry and white, their great, tall trunks pointing in the wierd and silent melancholy to the heavens—dead. Thinking that the trees had starved to death, the Indians cried out "Hoquiampt!"—hungry wood—which named the river and from the river the town took its name.

Yet that nothing will be saved getting jointly, but that the bill will be rather increased. Now assertions do not tally very wood also states that the S. can only levy 50 cents as share per year.

With regard to the difficulty of measuring The Bixby water which Mr.Sherwood at one time considered an insurmountable obstacle He has changed his mind and now says he can at any time furnish the solution If he can then other engineers can therefore that matter may be considered as safe. Of course the work will be done at such a time of the year and in such a manner as will least inconvenience and interfere with The A.U.W.Co.i irrigators.

But the expense of crossing the river by a pipe line has been estimated at $12,000.00, and they would be required to pay the A. U. W. Co. $9000.00, and give to Irvine water stock of the value of $2000.00, making in all an expense of $23,000.00, which would leave them no very large profit on the water-power. At the head of the Anaheim ditch we too have our opportunity for developing power. At this point we can drop the 200 inches for Yorba, and also the Anaheim water, a distance of about 60 feet and use the resulting power for pumping from the adjoining basin which is the largest one in the river. This would furnish Anaheim with an abundant supply, and would be so far removed from any wells which the S. A. V. I. Co. may hereafter sink that there would not be the slightest danger of one interfering with the other. A. S. BRADFORD. PEOPLE ALARMED LIMA (Peru) Aug. 22.—In the city of Huarez 20,000 inhabitants have been in danger since yesterday. Water is spouting under a church and under various houses. The people are greatly alarmed, and church bells are rung and masses said for a deliverance from a calamity. The inhabitants believe the water spouts to be a chastisement from heaven. Seware of Ointments for Catarrh that Contain Mercury as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous surfaces. Such articles should never be used except on prescriptions from reputable physicians, as the damage they will do is tenfold to the good you can possibly derive from them. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O., contains no mercury, and is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. In buying Hall's Catarrh Cure be sure you get the genuine. It is taken internally and made in Toledo, Ohio by F. J. Cheney & Co., Testimonials free. Sold by druggists. Price 75c per bottle. Hall's Family Pills are the best, 60,000-foot capacity mill which arrived at its destination on the Hoquiam river April 10, 1882. April 6, 1882, Mr. Emerson determined how the streets should be run and a town was laid out. On the day following a mess-house was built. James A. Karr in November, 1884, to accommodate loggers and millmen who desired to own their own homes, (the policy of the mill company being merely to rent), laid out a plat for a town where the Gray's Harbor Iron works now stand along the river bank, which was never put on record because Mr. Emerson threw the lots of his townsite upon the market. In 1889, what is known as Karr's addition to the city of Hoquiam was platted and recorded. The first white woman in Hoquiam was Mrs. James A. Karr, who also was the second white child born in Washington. The first store in the town was opened by the mill company. The first hotel was the Hickey House, run by Phil Hickey and opened in 1884. James A. Karr, who was elected first auditor of Chehalis county and served about twelve years, who was justice of the peaces, and in the legislature in 1875, 1881 and 1893, also, at one time mayor of Hoquiam, relates many interesting Indian tales. He recounts that just prior to the trouble created by Capt. Jack, a Modoc Indian, in Oregon, the Indians up through this country had a "dreamer" who prophesied that all the whites would be exterminated and the unsophisticated Siwash Indians began to look up and take on airs. Then when the news of Capt. Jack's (Continued on page 4)
