ADMIRAL DEWEY'S 1I0V6E.
Ad ruiral Dewey has done just what
might have bern expected of him, in
refusing to accept the home which U
being planned for him. A private
cablegram sent by him to a friend
gives the authority for the statement
that while unwilling to accept it for
himself he Is desirous that the money
collected for his benefit bo used in
the establishment o' a soldiers and
tailors borne. Ia naval circles gen-
erally, and among tflieials, much
satisfaction is felt at the admiral's
decision. It has been stated that be
would find a home such as was in
tended a white elephant, and would
prefer to live as he has been actus
tomed to.
In ?peaking on this question re
cently the SpcliCeraan-Keview says
the idet of presenting a house to Ad
miral Dewey has practically been
abandoned and no one will
that such is the cat-e. Tbofc who
with misguided zeal thought that a
mansion costing 100,000 would be
an appropriate gift for the hero of
Manila have found that the public
generally does not asree with them,
and the fund which they believed
would be more than subscribed at
once is ridiculously meager in its
propoitions. Hardly a tenth of the
amount required has been forth
coming, and it his become evident
to whether the guilty .hall go un
punished. Much depends upon the
result of your Investigation as to
whether Insurrection and rebellion
shall exist, or continue to exist, in
this county. Remember that the
law protects the innocent, and be as
firm and ready to exculpate and ex
onerate the innocent as you should
be to indict the guilty."
This is strong, rugged advice,
given in the interest of good order
and with a nigh respect for the law.
It, will no doubt be heeded with an
honest fidelity to duty and a resolute
determination to see that the inuo
cent are protected and that the
guilty are dealt with as they deserve.

that the whole scheme will end in
failure.
That the American people are
proud of Dewey was long ago made
tranifest. The preparations for wel
coming him home arc already under
way, and in what esteem he Is held
will be fittingly shown when he has
put foot on shore and the people
have an opportunity to do him
honor. It will then be demonstrated
th.it the American public feels that
it ran not do enough for him.
o rar as giving me admiral a
Loii9e is concerned, it was a testi
monial out of place for the reason
that it was not needed. No one
knows where the admiral will decide
to reside, if be retires, and, in any
event, he is financially able to live
with every comfort. His pay will
be over $1,000 a month, and so
far as this world's needs are in
volved, be is abundantly provided
for. If he needed a house ' there
would be no hesitation iu donating
one, but it is doubtful if he would
look with favor upon such a gift and
the collapse of the house movement
will not be followed by any very
sincere regrets.
THE G7i.LVJ JURY AT WALLACE
The grand jury in Shoshone
county will probably do its full duty.
It can accomplish mucli in the in
terest of peace and order, for upon
a careful investigation of the im
portant matter now before it depends
in a great measure the future wel-
The fact that more men are want
ed for the armv in the Philippines
than were thought to be necessary a
few months ago does not mean that
the campaign thus far has been a
failure. It means that the president
is determined that cot only shall the
resistance by futuie AguinalUos be
averted, but that all guerrilla dis
turbances shall bo prevented. It
will be very rnsy to suppress the
present Aguinaldo. The determina-
rc,ret lion of the government is to render
all Aguinaldos of five, ten or fifty
years hence, impossible.
Moreover, a large army in the
Philippines means quicker work and
a smaller loss of life. The rebellion
will be crushed sooner, and it will
stay crushed. Capitals or uny other
sort of towns held by the Filipinos
can be captured at any time. It is
never difficult for the American
troops to drive any number of the
Filipinos out of any point which they
hold. In the future, however, some
thing more than this will be done.
The town which is captured will be
garrisoned and held. This neces
sarily requires a somewhat larger
force than would bo necessary for
merely whipping the Filipinos. Un
der the new plan, when they are
whipped they will remain whipped.
Great work has already been done
by Otis, Lawton, MacArthur, Hall
and their associates. No soldiers
whom the woild ever saw could have
done more with their means. Their
resources will be enlarged now, and
they will do still better work. The
moral effect, too, of this'increasc in
the force in the Philippines will be
salutary. It will have a deterrent
influence on Aguinaldo. That astute
personage relied on the discharge of
the Vf1iinfors tr w zf. 1--n n 0;m' Army
permanently. He thought, therefore,
that while Otis could diivc him from
any position which ho could occupy,
Otis would not have enough men to
hold the position. This is where the
new programme will hurt Aguinaldo.
The places which will be captured
will be retained. When the rebels
arc driven out of a region they will
never again be able to get a glimpse
of it except as prisoners. Guerrilla
fighting will be prevented. A district
which is cleared will be pacified for
all lime. The new programme will
Li merciful to the soldiers and will
give satisfaction to the countiy.
The Gmskxiioiin, June t, 'ID.
Eoitob C'iiuomcll:
I am constrained to write a few line
for theold Ciibomclh fur several reasons.
One because I feci that way; another
because I am egotistical enough to be
lieve that in many readers would not
be displease'! at perusing1 an article from
my p ncil and following the vagaries of
my vagrant mind; tut principally be
cause ibis is the 5th anniversary of the
high water ol '91, on which occasion the
Columbia served as a baptismal font,
and The Dalles did service as the "kid."
I notice what you say concerning the
possibilities of high water this year, and
I Indorse your statement. The weather
clerk has done grand service for you
people of tbe Columbia basin this year,
rillLlV- for had average temperatures prevailed
the water would have gone over the top
of the CiiHoxai-E building. We have
had a few warm days, followed invaria
bly bv cold nights, and tho snow has
gone slowly and steadily. However the
danger of high water has not yet passed,
though it is fail to presume that con
ditions will not chung-i radically, and
that therefore you will not h.ive un
usually high water. On the other hand
there is a vast area still ctvered w i'.h
snow, from two to sixty feet deep. This
snow is now in the shape of granular
ice, and just in condition to gie up its
waters freely at the touch of the sun.
Tn days cf successive warmth and you
will have thirty feet moro water at The
Dalles, but I do not believe the ten suc
cessive warm days are in the catalogue.
Sunday was warm : Sunday night the
ground froze. Monday it snowrd go
that two inches of the beautiful nuisance
lay on the ground until noon. 1 do not
believe you wiil have high water but if
you do, it w ill be a dandy.
I have another reason for believing
the snow will hang en indefinitely, and
that is that I am interested in having it
go as quickly as possible. I da not be
lieve that Nature changes her plans on
my account, but I do believe that when
the old jide gets a cranky spell on, that
I wiil run up against it. The snow is
all gone from around our house but
across the creek fifty yards there is from
one to three feet of it in the drifts. Be
tween them purple iris, buttercups, dog
tooth violets, spring beauties, phenom
enally large ants, and a variegated
fljwer garden ot bugs of all sizes, kinds
and degrees are in full bloom. Around
the house the old tin cms, gum boots,
discarded socks and undergarments cast
out last fall, have found their way to
the surface, giving variety to the land
scape and epice to the belated breezes of
lazy Spring. The roads are beginning
to show through the snow, in spots, and
the yellow-legged mining expert Is
everywhere visible. Many mining prop
erties are changing bands, and the
Greenhorn (the country, not me) is
having a veritable boom. The Banzette
mine, a four-inch vein one mile from us,
was sold Monday for 30,000. A pros-
ppct hole near Granite for 125,000. The
Virginia near us has been sold, but on
private terms. A big pump was hauled
in over the snow and is now fast bring
ing the water out of the old drifts. The
Bonanza is putting up twenty more
stamps, and will build a new 100-stamp
mill this fall. This means that this
great mine alone will produce in the
near future $2,01,0,000 a year, or one
half the gold credited now to the state.

THE DEMMING
Freezing Windmill Force
This pump has been perfected to meet the requirements of the principal Wind
mill manufacturers in the United States, for a better Windmill Force Pomp, m ith a
three nay valve, than had heretofore been produced. It has become the leading Anti
Freezing three way pump, and is accepted by Windmill manufacturers and dealers
generally, ns the beet three way Windmill Force Pump on the market. The Union
Klhow Coupling for connecting to the underground discharge pipe is of Brass nd
can be turned to suit the direction of the pipe. The air chamber pipe is two inches in
diameter, which insures ease of operetion and a steady flow of water. The Hose Coup,
ling on the spout also adds to the convenience of this pump. .

nlTairs has existed in some parts of
the Co'ur d'Alencs which ought to
be thoroughly lovikcd into and venti
lated, and ii fluences which have
worked to the detriment of the com
m unity should be summarily up
rooted. As public agents for the
accomplishment of this woik the
grand Jury will be given all necessary
authority and their labors ought to
result in lasting benefits to the min
ing district which has of lale been in
such sore trouble.
The charge of Judge Stewart fully
sets forth the importance of the tak
which the grand jury has before it.
There should be a thorough investi
gation. As he well says: "Ascertain
what was done, who participated in
theso acts, by what authority they
acted, who directed the action and
what were the motives; then fix
criminality where it belongs, whether
ft may be one, two or many ho
were implicated in these unlawful
acts. Let me impress upon you that
your duties are grave and important.
Much depends upon jtur actions as
tween sportsmanlike gentlemen were
over, and for all lime. The coming
of the .Shamrock to meet the Colum
bia, and the courteous challenge sent
by Oxford and Cambridge to Har
vard and Yale, indicates that people
keen for sports will come together in
spite of war, iaminc, boundary line
disputes or joint arbitration committees.

Senator Hearst, one of the finest min

Conntv Treasurer.
Although not eo large a number as
should have been interested in our city's
welfare and the officers to be nominated,
attended the mass meeting last night at
the court house, perhaps 200 citizens
were present for the purpose of nomi
nating officers for tho ensuing year.
John Gavin was chosen as chairman
and H. If. Kiddell as secretary, alter
which the meeting at once proceeded to
the businees for which it had been
called. As is usual, enthusiasm seemed
to be lacking and there was but one
nomination for each office, and as theee
seemed to meet tho favor of all present,
no dissenting voice was raised.
Ex-Mayor Menefee took the floor as ! be returned to the owner,
Collins, who was in town trying to dis
pose of a fine sorrel team belonging to
his brother. Mr. Kelly Et onre begun
his search and fonud him in Skibbm's
saloon under the influence of liquor.
The man protested sayii.g he was not the
man, but, assietod by Mr. Thrall, the
sheriff started for tho courthouse wilb
him. Ou tho way they discovered a
Smith & Weston revolver in his pocket,
which they appropriated. Upon almost
reaching the courthouse he got away
from them, but only a short distance,
and was captured again, when he was
landed in j lil, where Wilbur Hendricks
identified him later.
The sheiiffdid not rest until he had
discovered who had the first horses
sold, and found that olb was here and
tho other across the river, so they will
INow Ll.tcu!
soon as nominations were in order and
in very complimentary terms nominated
II. L. Kuck for mayor of the city.
Mayor Nolan seconded the nomination,
and as no further nominations were
made, on motion of F. W. Wilson the
secretary cast the ballot for H. L. Kuck.
T. J. Seufert then nominated C. J.
Crandall, the present treasurer, for re
election to the office. No other nomi
nations being made on motion the ballot
was cast for C. J. Crandall for treasurer
of the city.
Nominations were next in order for
water commissioner at large, and John
Michell named J. F. Moore, and a
ballot was cast in his favor by the sec
retary.
It was then arranged that a meeting
for nominating councilraen and water
commistuoncrs be held in the various
wards Friday night. The meeting for
the First ward will be held In the
council room ; for the Second, at the cir
cuit court room and for the Third, in
the county court room.
We have heard no further names
mentioned as candidates for the
mayoralty, and indeed, we doubt if a
better nomination could have been
made. Such an office should be filled
by one who has proven his
ins interest, in me city. Micti an one is

councilman has been faithful in the few

Especially has his ability as a financier
of the city's affairs been ehown to good
advautage, he having fathered the sink
ing fund project and others of a like
nature. He has also made a success of
his own bneioess affairs and therefore is
the more competent to serve the city.
Mr. Crandall might also be said to
have proven a "treasure" In tho office
he has so successfully filled acd no
douSt will be re-elected.
Mr. Moore Is a good man for tho place
of water commissioner at large, and Tux
CnnoNiti.it is glad he was nominated.

maining offices such good material will
be fjund as candidates for them
