SOURCE OF GUTTAPERCHA.
A German Says the Trees That Pro
duce It Will Grow in the Phil
ippines. 1
In a monograph", just published in
Germany, it is show n that the , Philip
pine's are among the few , places on
earth in which tlie trees' from whiirh
guttapercha is procured will flourish.
The value of this statement is not to
be underrated for two reasons. One is
that guttapercha is an indispensable
material for the making 6f supmarine
cables and golf balls; the Iqther is that
the trees in Sumatra and Borneo, from
which the chief supply has hitherto
been drawn are almost . I entirely ex
hausted. The cause of this exhaus
tion lies in the primitive ind destruct
ive methods j which were formerly em
ployed for gathering this valuable com--modity;
The natives who! never have
any thought for the morrow have ruth
lessly cut down whole forests of trees.
so that they might scrape Jhe guttaper
from inside bark. This wholesale de
struction carried on for years has great
!y diminished the annual crop, but the
discovery that these trees' grow an-'
can be successfully cultivated in the
Philippines offers hope that a new mine
of wealth has been found for American
enterprise as soon as
nacified.

or which no other material seems so
well adapted. Its hardness after hav
ing leen submitted to the 'proper press
urc. and its toughness make it the only
golf ball material yet discovered. Th?
amount of cable laid since 1856 is
some 41.85.1 knots, representing a cost
for the cables alone of millions of
pounds sterling, and as the prospects
are that during the next fifty years ma
ny more cables will be required and
laid the demand for guttapercha is ab
most unlimited.; Ths wealth,' which
guttapercha in the Philippines holds
out lo American enterprise is in pro
portion to this demand. ; .
PATRIOTIC MR, ENGLISH.
William E. English of Indianapolis
whose father was candidate for vice
president on the democratic ticket sonic
years ago, declines to accept; money
for his services as captain and assistant
quartermaster on the staff of Genera!
Wheeler during the Spanish war. He
served from. May to December and
neglected to call for his pay when he
resigned. Therefore, to settle his ac
counts, the paymaster general sent him
a check for $i.J 7"5. which Captain
English forwarded to Senator Fairbanks-
with a request that he would re
turn it. and explained that he haLen
tered the army to serve his country and
not for-pay. It is the only case of the
kind during the late war and Senator
Fairbanks had a good deal of trouble
in getting rid of the check. The, pay
master general would not receive it; it
was not fair to Captain English to
place it in, the conscience fund, and he
was finally compelled to turn, it over
to the treasurer; of the United States

TERRITORIAL FORM IS PROPOSED
High Salaried American OflBclaU to- Ad-

lea la Their Work.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 2. Theoresi
dent today transmitted to congress the
first volume oflhe report of the Philip
pine commission. It is a volume of
x4 pages, and is signed by Prof. Shor
mann. Admiral Dewey, Colonel Denby
and trot. ores ter. Itie onncioas
subject dealt with i? the plan of government-
proposed by -, the commission.
The commission announces itself un
qualifiedly in favor of a government 6f
the Phibppines analagous to that of a
territory of the United States, with a
governor appointed by the president.
They say it is desirable that the inhab
itants of the archipelago should enjoy
a large measure of home rule in local
affairs, their towns to enjoy substanti
ally the rights and privileges' of towns
in a territory.
Provinces should be vested with sub
stantially the functions of a county in
1 territory? this system might be ap
plied to the Viscayan islands at once,
and a beginning might be made on the
coast of Mindanao. The suffrage should
be restricted by. educational Or prop
erty qualifications, or both, this system
would necessitate a small body of
Vmerican officials of great ability and
integrity, and of patience and tact in
dealing with other races, and on this
account the commission recommends
that they should be paid high salaries.
lhetr main function would be to ad
vise town and county councils in dis
charge of their duties, and to watch the
collection of revenues and its expendi
tures. IN TRADE CIRCLES.

NEW YORK. Feb. 2. R. G. Dun

ay tomorrow
"This year starts with much of the
year's business already done, and all
comparisons will prove misleading if
hat fact is not taken into account. Last
year the certainty of great improve
ment had come before the year open-
ed,"and there was a rush to get in or
der before the works became crowd
ed and the prices advanced. This vear
the works are already crowded for
months ahead, in most lines, and prices
aad already advanced so far that recoil
had already commenced- in some
branches and was thought probable in
others. : . .
With the exception of the woolen
manufacturers the chief industries have
met less tnew business in January than
last year, though deliveries on previous
contracts have been larirer than a vear
ago. In the work turned out the past
month probably surpasses all others.
The failures for the week have been

MAY Tf ST Tilt LAW.
Validity ot ScaTp Bounty Act Ques
tioned Some Valley Counties
May Resist It.
A movement has been instituted
imong the Willamette valley counties
to test the validity of the state scalp-
bounty act, which was enacted at the
last lcgislaivc session.
The following is an extract from a
rtter on the subject written by Coun
ty Judge Geo. D. Barton, of Linn
county, to County Judge G. P. Terrell,
of this co'tnty:
Doubtless yon. in common With
other members of courts interested,
have noticed the rank injustice to val
ley counties, by the enactment of the
law known as the state-scalp-bounty
act. Our court made the levy in Janu
ary as directed by the law, but we do
not desire to pay one cent of the fundus
arising from the tax into the state
treasury. ' '
Judge Barton informs Judge lerrell
that he has consulted an able constitu
tional lawyer who has carefully exam
ined the law which he declares is not
"equal taxation as contemplated by
that instrument and that in his opinion
it would be declared void on proper
submission." '
The author of the letter suggests
that the valley counties contribute a
fund to be used for testing the law,
which, if proven invalid by reason of
its nnequat taxation, would -save the
valley counties several hundred dol
lars; .' ' : 1- -,
In. replying. Judge Terrell said he
had given. the law no, particular con
sideration and had not inquired into
the constitutionality of the! act. He
informed 1 his feilow officials ' that the
tax had been levied in Marion county,
as by law directed. In the matter of
contributing to a fund to test the law.
Judge Terrell did not offer any encour
agement. He" thinks Linn county
mitfht provide the funds and test the
case alcrie. Marion county recently
became involved in an important action
at law regarding state taxes, fc The
county came out victorious,;iand nearly
everr countv in the state profits large
ly thereby.' Marion county; conducted
the case singly and unaided i and Jndge
Terrell thinks some other coianty might
be willing to go it alone., 1

TRANSFER IS MADE
GOVERNMENT RECEIVES TITLE TO

V. 8. District Attorney Hall De;oalta TSOO
with City of aln and Reeelvea -Deed!
to the Property.
The title of the city of Salem to the
west block of land, of what is known
1 a
as Willson Avenue!,' terminated yester
day morning when! the formal transfer
of the property was effected. ' The
people of the Capital City will now
eagerly await the cp'mpletion and adop
tion of the plans and the speedy erec
tion of the much; needed ppstoffice
building for which the deal was con
summated. . United States District Attorney I
John H. Hall, the governments au
thorized agent, csime up from Port
land on the Shasta express yesterday
morning. He promptly" met with
Mayor C P. Bishop and City Record
er N. J. Judah, w(ien the dal for th?
property was finally "concluded. Mr.
Hall surrendered tp the city officers; a
United States treasury draft . "on San
Francisco for $7500 and received in
exchange therefor an abstract Of title
and a deed to the block of land bound
ed by State and (Court streets, and
Church and Cottage streets. Mr. Hall
expressed himself well pleased with
the conditions under which .the pur
chase of the city was accomplished and
congratulated tbej city officers upon
effecting the saleHd the property.
Citv Recorder 'Judah promptly -deposited
the draft jto his credit at the
Ladd & Bush banking house, but sub
sequently drew a fcheck for $3850, the
city's share of thet purchase price, and
turned the same oyer to City Treasurer
John Moir. and the money is now in
the city treasury, ad available for such
purpose as the city council may. elect.
Upon depositing j the draft with the
banking firm herein named the officials
of that institution forthwith executed
drafts in favor o the three surviving
heirs of Dr. Willfon for their respect
ive shares of the amount paid for th
land;
The heirs , are: Mrs. Frances A.
Gill, of Portland . Oregon; Mrs. Kate
L. Dillingham, ol Bangor, Maine, and
Afs. Laura Belle! Wyeth, of Oakland,
California. By aj pre-arranged . under
standing between the city officers and
:he Willson heirj, the latter agreed to
assume their proportionate share of
the expense that -might be incurred in
the employment bf legal aid in effect
ing the sale of the property. The ac
count of ex-GoveVnor W. P. Iord. as
counsel, was $.259, one-half of which
was discharged bjy the city. The re
maining $125 was assessed to the three
heirs, the individual amounts being
$41.66. Accordingly, each of the three
-drafts was executed, for $1208.33.
' It is not known what disposition
will be made byf the city council of
the city's share jof the money. It is
alleged by some tihat the money should
be applied to. the (payment of the city's
floating indebtedness, while others con
tend that-the money, should be expend
ed in the impiovement of the remain
ing two blocks of what constitutes the
Capital City's park. Those who take
this view of the situation assert that
this was the original purpose for which
the sale was negotiated and may ire
fuse to endorse ojr approve of a diver
sion of the funds for - any other pur
pose. . , j; -. ..
1 On the other hand, those who deem
U expedient that the money be devoted
to the liquidation of some, of the in
debtedness of the municipality, allege
that it a matter of much financial con
cern, to the cit. The attempt lo have
the state . take charge of the remain ler
of the avenue and improve it together
with the state house' grounds, was un
successfully made at the. last legislative
tession. However, -in event the money
derived from thelsal is otherwise ap
propriated from the funds of the city,
it is claimed the jeffOrt in This connec
