If President Schurman of Cornell unl verslty is to be believed. Not that we really want to annex San Domingo and Venezuela, but "we are approach ing a crisis that would seem to lndl cate expansion to the south, whether we wish It or not" There was a time In the days of our Innocence and self-confidence when the Monroe Doctrine was thought to be a bulwark of strength to the Unit ed States. 'But today, as President Schurman sees It, it needs buttressing from the North to the South pole. The Dominicans owe some money to Bel glans and Germans. We must seize the island to fill a parenthesis In Monroe's message. The asphalt trust holds claims against Castro's govern ment. Take over Venezuela and the trust may be saved from a second bankruptcy. Panama we have al readv made out own, revolution and an. "We have taken the first step," President Schurman says, and he fears that we may yet land up in Canada maybe In Patagonia. But It is not for him to protest and urge caution. He Is convinced that we are I the victims of our own helplessness.

With a wife who Is almost (0 years his Junior partner, and with an old corncob pipe as a solace In his de clining years, A. J. Miner, It years old. lives In a state ot reminiscence at tl7 Main avenue In Spokane, says an exchange. He la probably one of the first men who operated a pack train from Wal la Walla to Fort Steele, B. C. Sitting In a favorite rocking chair, with his long, gray beard sweeping across his chest and with his corncob pipe going full blast, he told ot the time when Spokane was nothing but a timber tract and Indians were drying fish for winter use In the woods where the city hall now stands. Mr. Miner packed goods from Walla Walla to Fort Steele In 1857, and frequently passed along the trail which then passed through the present site of the city. Although Mr. Miner's massive frame is bent with age, and he is only shadow of his former self, he Is still able to read without the aid of glasses and Is able to walk about the streets and around the house without the aid of a cane. He was born In Glasgow, Scotland, In 1813, and waa brought to this country when I year old. His father was a member of the Virginia legislature Just after the war of ltll. Crossed Plains In 184T. In 184? Mr. Miner and a party of 23 crossed the plains to Oregon and settled near Salem, where he waa en gaged in raising cattle. He was one of the first men that drove a stake on the site where Walla Walla now stands and built one of the first cab Ins there. Mr. Miner said yesterday: "In 1851 organized a pack train and carried provisions from Walla Walla to Wild Horse, B. C. The first time I passed through the present site of Spokane I a crowd of J00 Indians drying fish in the sun in the timber where the city hall now stands on Front avenue. This was tne great nsning place for the Indians im those days The squaws used to take the fish In dipnets as they were trying to get up over the falls, and the bucks, after tht squaws had cleaned them, would dry them In the sun. Although there were no railroads on me racmc coam In those days, one could get over the country pretty cheap. Cayuses were but $6 apiece, but grub was high. 'I built a store In Elk City, Idaho, In 1861 and run It for years, in tnose days sugar was 11.25 a pound, boots $10 a pair, and common undersnirts were 82 apiece. diaries Kendall a Pioneer. The only house of any kind In the country within miles of Spokane was a small store built by Charles Kendall at Spokane bridge, east ot here. In 1862. At that time there were only three white women in the Inland Em- plre. one of them I think Is now liv ing In Spokane, the other was my wife, and I forgot who the other one was."
