THE CLARK CASE.
Senator Claik, of Montana, Las
given damaging testimony against
himself enough to sbut bini out of
tbe senate, and not set the standards
a-ery high either. Of course the
Montana millionaire did not dcliber
atclj go to members of tbe legislature
and say, "I will give you money for
your Totes." Only a dolt would do
that, and Clark is nobody's dolt.
Senatorial bribe-giving is never man
aged in that wsy. The coarse work
is done by agents, and usually tbe
transaction is so shuffled around that
raen having consciences elastic
-enough for that sort of work can
testify on oath that votes were not
Kught, and not suffer qualms of
remorse in doing it.
No, Senator Clark was not raw
enough to go around tbe lobbies with
bis check book sticking out of bis
pocket. But bis own statements be
fore tbe investigating committee
make it plain that he all but did that,
lie caused tbe dissemination of the
belief that it was bis political maxim
to "stand by his friends," and re
gard those who did anything for
him. On his own statement, be
checked out between 100,000 and
4200,000 in the campaign which led
p to his election, and other enormous
sums were cLecked out in bis interest
by bis son and others. As Senator
Burrows aptly inieijected, lie was
bound to purify Montana politics, re
gardless of cost.
After his election, so be testifies,
he gave Representative" Day 5000
as a present. He bought timber
lands from Representative McLaugh
lin, and negotiated various other
deals at times which were either
-singularly opportune or amazingly
inopportune opportune, if tbe pur
pose was to swing tbe votes of mem
bers; inopportune, if the deals were
made entirely from business con
siderations.
Tbe troth, as disclosed by the in
vestigation, and admitted by Sena
tor Clark himself, is that be went
into tbe fight to down Daly and ad
vance bis own political ambitions,
and was not over-scrupnious about
tbe means employed to do it.
Spokesman-Re view.
to grow broader and broader, bow
ever. Tbe mines here are more
numerous and prolific than they are
in the British islands. The cost of
mining is as low here now as it is
there, and It will socn be loer. The
s I . . . ... i
; tcudeocy iu f-ngi.nu is ionru u.gu-
as the supply diminishes.
England is importing coal from the
United States, and there is a strong
desiro in that country in the present
exigency to discourage all exporta
tion of the product of the borne
mines. Tbe consequence of this
tendency, of course, will be to
further Increase the exports of Amer
ican coal to the European continent.
These are great days for tbe pro
ducers of all sorts of American commodities.
SO EXCUSE FOR SILESCE.
UniPPISQ COAL TO NEWCASTLE
The coal f am ir e in Europe is tell
ing In favor of the United States.
Larger and larger quantities of coal
are being exported from this country.
The total of the country's shipments
of merchandise abroad is at remark
ably bigb figures at this moment.
-All sons of goods, raw and manu
factured, are being sent abroad In
ateadily increasing amounts. Coal is
beginning to figure in the exports to
an important extent.
.Several facts account for the
Bcsrcity of coal in Europe at the
present time. One of these is the ac-
Uvity in the industries, winch is
Mjcing seen in the Old World as well
s in tbe United States, though not
to tbe same extent. This necessi
tates the use of an increased amount
of cord. Another reason for the
shortage is the inability to increase
the home supply quick enough to
meet tbe demand. Still another is
the war in South A'rica, which has,
through the necessity for the ship,
ment of lroop3 and munitions of war,
taken away a good many vessels
which would otherwise be convey
ing coal from the producing to tbe
consuming countries. Every great!
country in Europe England, Ger
many, France, Italy, Austria, Rus
ia is feeling the pressure which tbe
coal shortage is bringing.
It Is fuitunate for the United
States and the rest of the world that
this country's coal deposits are prac
tically inexhaustible, and that the
quantity mined is constantly on the
increase. England has held the lead
in coal output hitherto, but la 1899
the United States passed to the front,
though its excess over England is
-small as yet. The margin is bound
It is gratifying to note that some
of the mining men in charge of Iafge
enteritises in tbe Ca-ur d'Alenes
are showing a disposition to relax
lips and tongues long bound more
tightly than a nisei's purse strings,
says the Spokesman-Review. The
Cccur d'Alene mining district de
serves publicity. Too long it has
lain under the double ban of turbu
lent miners and reticent owners.
With the passing of the man whose
argum .nt was dynamite, it is hoped
may be finally chronicled the pass
ing of the man who knows be has a
good thing but who selfishly locks up
the sources of information and gives
the patient newsgatherer a withering,
blighting, chilling reception when he
applies for Information which may
benefit the entire country.
In days gone by Caur d'Alene
mine owners have excused their
silence, their secretiveness, with the
assertion that in the midst of constant
alarms, to tell of tbe wealth in the
mines was but to arm rioters with
more potent weapons. If that ex
cuse were ever valid it is unavailing
no. The enemies of law and order
are. in the relentless1 grip of the law.
Peace has spread her pinions over the
scenes of riot and bloodshed. The
miner goes to his woik unmolested,
receives for his toil the best pay that
labor gets anywhere, and he is con
tent. No longer are capital and
labor arrayed against each other.
The once contending factions are
ji standing shoulder to shoulder for tbe
country's good. Thereforo it is safe
for tbe public, not only in the Couur
d'Alenes but throughout the mining
world, to know what that splendid
district is producing, what it may bs
expected to yield and what induce
ments it offers to capital. The old
excuse for silent magnates no longer
is worthy of notice.
A mioe is a private property. Its
owner may tell what it carries or he
may remain silent, as he chooses.
His right to talk or to retire within
his shell is unquestioned. But tbe
man who has made fair fortune out of
tbe veins of a district is a hard speci
men of humanity, unworthy of the
liberal West, untrue to the spirit of
our free air and sunlight, who will
refuse to let bis fellows come a little
way up the ladder which carried him
from obscurity into the fierce light
that beats upon a millionaire. In
the Ctt-ur d'AIeno district the only
excuse now for mine owners conceal
ing the truth about their mines Is
that they hope to gobble up nil the
good things in sight, and that policy
public sentiment will ever condemn.
But tbe indications are that some
of the mine owners are throwing off
the old superstitions. That dreaded
apparition, the newspaper man no
longer sends a chill down the shrink
ing spine of the mine owner. Per
haps as days go by the embarrass
ment will wear off entirely and the
public may know as much about the
wonderful mines of the Ca-ur d'Alenes
as Of anv Other district rnnnil
Spokane. Ic will be big news when
these stories get into type. No
district around Spokano equals the
Caur d'Alenes for great mining and
great results.

PAUL MOHR ROAD.

Sarlsatlou at.d Contraction Co.
Some facts which are worth consider
ing, and so far as can be learned are
something new to our citizens, are sug
gested in the following which is taken
from the Agricclturalist :
"While in The Dalles a few days ago,
we learned that the people of that city
are taking very active interest in the
Paul Mohr road. The exsct location of
the portago terminus has not been
definitely settled as yet. Negotiations
are still in progress between tbe repre
eentatire people cf The Dalles and the
steamboat officials with a view to have
the depot erected at a point opposite
that town. The town has offered a
number of Inducements, and it is prob
able that they will be accepted, and in
stead of stopping at the Big Eddy, the
line will be continued down the river
bank for a distance of three miles. We
learned, further, that the stealer
Frederick Billings, now at Pasco, which
was recently purchased for the com
pany, will go into commission soon and
will be operated on the upper Columbia
and Snake river.
"Up in eastern Klickitat Frank Aid
rich, of Goldenda!e, is basily at work
lor this company, explaining the -merits
and advantages it be have t) the
farmers in the way of cheaper transpor
tation facilities. From Klickitat he goes
across the Columbia river into Gillian)
county. Mr. Aldrich informs us that
construction will soon be commenced on
two steamers at Portland and one at
Pasco for the company, and also two
large barges at Astoria. The two Port
land steamers will be 200 feet long, and
the one at Pasco will be 160 feet long.
Besides those three large steamers, some
smaller ones are ncder contemplation.
These are tbe steamers which will be
operated in connection with the portage
under construction at The Dalles.
"Ira Henderson, of Columbus, who
has charge of the work in progress at
Tunnel Rock, a point opposite the Hell
Gate in the Columbia river, speaking of
tbe progress of work along the line says
he is of the opinion some telling work Is
being done just now by the Central
Navigation & Construction Company,
aside from the work going on without
the interruption of winter weather
changes and covered by the contract of
Winters & Chapman.
N EW ENTERPRISE S .
at whch President Seufert and
Commissioners Phirrnan, Fish. Bolton,
Moore, Buchler and Kandail were
present.
The matter of issuing 'bonds was
browght before the meeting and it was
warmly discussed whether bonds to the
amount of tiO.OOO or 20,000 should be
k-soeJ. On motion it was finallv de
lided to issue 20,000 and use the 5,C03,
now in the treasury, as part payment on
the bonds that are now outstanding.
The commissioners were almost one
voice on the question of the amount to
be issued, and had the matter gone as
they desired they would have bonded
for $25,000, and kept tlie fo.000 for a
sinking fund and needed improvements,
However, a majority of the council and
a good many citizens were of the opinion
that it wonld be better to pay off part of
the old debt while the money was on
hand, and bond for the lesser amount.
The commissioners, taking in consider'
ation the wishes of others, did as was
requested but think without doubt, it is
not the wiser plan.

Editok CUBONICti:
Mr. Tim Brownbill, of Tbe Dalles,
lectured at this place on February 21, in
behalf of the Woodmen of the World
Mr. Brownhill found tbe only trouble of
organizing a lodge at this place would be
to get a hall suitable for such purposes,
and after a short consideration thought
best for the audience to elect a chair
man and secretary pro tern and appoint
a committee on ways and means. Mr.
Alex Stuart was elected as chairman
and S. W. Stark secretary. The follow
ing persons were appointed to act on
said committee: D. Fisher, Lash
Lamb, J. M. Carroll, V. C. Young, G
Stewart, S. W. Stark and C. Graham.
Mr. lirownhill possesses the rare
qualities of eloquence which enables
him to nnfold the elements of Woodcraft
in endless quantities, and we only hope
that soon we may listen te his gentle
voice once more. Cokrespondicxt.
Capital Should Ba Interacted In a Fruit
and Vegetable Cannery,
Now that tbe wool scouring plant is
an assured fact and our citizens are de
termined to make it a success, why not
look forward to other enterprises. We
are situated in one of the best fruit and
vegetable raising sections in the state.
Why not interest capital in a cannery
that wouid utilize our surplus products?
O.lier places are putting forth induce
ments and if welet slipour opportunities
we will have to bear the brunt of our
oversight or neglect. Relative lo a
cannery at Walla Walla the Union says;
"Stockholders of t he-new cannery to
be erected in a short time, held meet
ing in Dr. X. G. Blalock'a office yester
day afternoon and discussed plans for
operation. It was decided to go ahead
with incorporation and after the papers
bad been filed proceed at once with the
construction of a suitable building and
purchase of such machinery as may be
needed.
"The opening for a cannery is so al
luring that It is surprising capital has
not entered the field before, and success
and large returns will undoubtedly be
the portion of the company just formed.
The preliminaries, aslo name, etc., have
not bean agreed upon hut that it Is a
consideration when the incorporation
papers are drawn np.
'The men who are interesled in the
new cannery project are practical fruit
men and have a thorough knowledge of
the handling of fruit. Tbey know what
quantities go to waste each year and
realize what profits are to he gained by
the saving of the product."

A Convincing Answer.
"I hobbled into Mr. Blackmon's drug
store one evening," says Wesley Nelson,
of Hamilton, Ga., "and he asked me to
try Chamberlain's Pain Balm for rhtu
matisrr, with which I had suffered for a
long time. I told him I had no faith in
any medicine as they all failed, tie
said: 'Weil if Chamberlain's Pain Balm
does not help yon, you need not pay for
it.' I took a bottle of it home and used
it according to directions ana in one
week I was cured, and have not sincn
been troubled with rheumatism." Sold
