The Spokane Review having been
charged with misrepresenting the course
of Senator Allen ou the dalles iruprove
- ment for tin open Coluinbialrive reviews
the situation, and after fairly represent
ing Mr. Allen says: ."The people of
the interior, who desire above all other
public impiovements the opening of the
Columbia liver, have seen iit to investi
gate the work of their representatives,
and they have found, from Senator
Squire's statement before the senate
committee on commerce, that with the
exception of $10,000 for completing a
survey, the Washington senators have
not asked for a dollar for that portion of
the Columbia river flowing through
their state! The engineers estimates
called for $50,000 for the upper Colum
bia and Snake rivers. The house bill
appropriated $15,000; and the Washing
ton senators not only asked for no in
crease, but Senator Squire explicitly
stated before the committee that more
was not wanted! When attention is
called to this lukewarm treatment of the
Columbia, the Spokane defender of Mr.
Alton mak3s answer that in times gone
by the Oregon senators have asked for
and obtained all that the Columbia river
is entitled to, and that now Mr. Allen
must turn his attention to western
Washington ! Who overheard a weaker
defense of the action of a public official?
It is not true that the Review "'speaks
that the Washington senators have
-asked for a sum for the Seattle canal
fifty times as great -as that they have
asked tor the upper Columbia, and it
lias felt that it is high time some one
were speaking for the improvement of
i.hat majestic waterway. Senator Allen
Ihas been neither maligned,, niisrepre--.
sou ted, nor abused by this journal. His
record has been stated with correctness
i nd fairness. If that record is not what
his friends could desire, the fault rests
.-.At Washington."
JJricklayera in Colfax decided last
' Tuesday that nine hours should consti-
tute a day's work and quit work on the
refusal of tho contractors to view the
.matter iu the same light. The strike
was of short duration, however. On
learning that the estimates had been
Made on the basis of 10 hours n day and
(ontracAors could not afford to be cut
down, the men went back to work. It
is quite likely that this point will be
pressed on buildings to le erected here

"The Spokane Chronicle says the
'democrats in the house have not offered
to repeal the McKinley law because
1 they er.afraid the republican senate
V&u&the republican president would re
ject their efforts ! Then why have they
passed separate bills placing western
products on the free list? The senate
and the president are as certain to re
ject one as the other. The truth is that
position on the tariff question.

twiamod After Hsnn leufi.
About seven years ago the village of
Forest City. Pa., was excited over the
mysterious disapperrance of William
Doolittle. One morning William left
the house to buy some meat for dinner.
Daring the forenoon the meat was
brought to the house by the butcher,
but William failed to appear when din
ner time arrived. Months went by', but
no trace of him conld be found. Eve
one thought that he had been foully
dealt with.
Saturday afternoon Doolittle arrived
in Canondale, after an, absence of over
seven years. His mind had become de
ranged. The past was a blank to him,
except at two or three intervals, when
he could for a short time remember
something of his house and, family. Four
years ago ho found himself in Omaha,
and then ifor the first time in three years
remembered his name and that he had
left his home in Forest City to buy some
meat for dinner. He conld not recall
anything that occurred after he bought
tho meat. His wife and two children,
who live in Canondale, greeted him as
one from the dead. He left Omaha four
years ago, and has been on the road
working his way homeward ever oince.

the required fee.
'Yaaa, 1 gep. Dia is my first night at

judge of tobacco in the world. Last

tered there. These cigarettes pay a duty
of four dollars a pound and are sold at

About 1887 a horseshoe was found un
der the ice of the glacier Theodul, in
Switzerland, which led geologists to the
idea that this pass, 3,823 meters high.

lias been further confirmed by a recent
find of coins bearing the likenesses of
Augustus and Diocletian. Popular Sci
