WENATCHEE'S FIRST DAILY.

With this, onr first issue, a word as

to our poliov is perhaps needed. Wi

believe this section of the state to

have great repources and great prem

ise, c wish to do our part toward

developing these resources and bring

ing the prom 83 to piss. We shall try

to be an active, helping factor in not

alone the city of Wenatchee and the

county of Chelan, but also in our

neighbor counties of Douglas ano

Okanogan. We believe that here will

be built a large city, whose broad

minded citizens will develop and aid

in the advance of the entire section

that we hope to acceptably represent.

It is our intention to make The

World modern and up to-date in its

news features, clean, conservative and

reliable. Politically, The.World will

uphold and try to advanoe the princi

ples of the Republican party.

ONE WAY OF BOOSTING.

Patronize home industries. If you

have a dollar to spend, spend it rigln

here in Wenatchee. Every doll r's

worth of goods bought in Chicago, Se

attle or Spokane means a loss to the

local merchant and indirectly a loss

to the entire community.

Wenatchee's stores carry as complete

lioes of merchandise of every kind as

an ordinary mortal is in need of, and

the prices are actually lower in many

instances than on the same goods in Se

attle. If there are any extraordinary

mortals in town we can spare them

and everybody would be the gainer if

they would move to some place where

true worth would be appreciated and

they would have the satisfaction of

knowing that their goods were pur

chased at Scmebody-or-other's store,

even if th-?y did pay more. The man

who sends money out of town for some

article that he conld have purchased

heie is an enemy ot the town.

We don't need a "boosters' olnb" to

keep Wenatchee bowling right along on

the high road to prosperity. It every

man, woman and child would follow the

rule of buying of the home merchants,

the betterment 01 the city would be

immediately appreciable. There is no

other one thing which would do so

much to insure Wenatchee's prosperity

JOHN HAY, STATESMAN.

A great man has gone to rest. In al ;

that makes a man loved, honored and

respected by his fellowmen, John

Hay excelled. He was a type of all

that is best in American life, both

public and private. An author and

poet of merit, a historian, humorist,

journalist and orator, his many gifts

made him a marsed man of the cen

t jry and his good deeds live after him.

His successful labors to preserve the

peac6 of the world are perhaps his

greatest work.

His life is a beacon to every man

who aspires to the heights of fame

and honor always aooorded the mem

ory of the truly good and great.

He lived his life; the world is bet

ter for his living; his memory is hon

ored now and will be in tbe fntnre.

SOME FIKST THINGS.

The Wenatchee Daily World is the

first daily paper to be published on

the line of the Greit Northern Railway

between Everett and Spokane. The

firsf to subscribe for the World

was Mr. F. M. Soheble of the Scheble

Lumber Company. Mr H. I.Newbauer

of the Wenatchee Department Store

was the first to sign an advertising

contract with the new paper and alio

the first to contrionte a page adver

t sement. Mr. Ira Edwards was the

to furnish oopy for his

ad. The first copy of the paper was

purchased by O. S. Sampson, may

or of Wenachee, and the first man to

make a payment on his subscription

was Mr. D. Leonard.

i " The Torpedo Is King.

When the Japanese torpedo boat flo

tilla destroyed several of tbe large

Russian warships at Port Arthur there

was a decided reversal of sentiment

among the naval experts of all nations

concerning tbe value of torpedo craft.

Experiments previously made with tor

pedo boats indicated that they can be

terribly effective under certain condi

tions. Tbe mechanism of the subma

rines is of course very complex, and

much depends upon luck whether they

con be used to advantage in actual

conflict. The results In tbe strait of

Korea are almost certain to give to ad

vocates of torpedoes in warfare new

proof of their superiority.

The torpedo Is certain to play a part

in the defense of ports and channels.

It was used in the civil war at Charles

ton nnd Mobile, but not to an extent

which could decide a conflict. The

Confederate General Beauregard was

n believer In torpedoes for harbor de

fense and used them with effect at

Charleston in 18C3. Under his direc

tion the famous cigar shaped subma

rine boat which destroyed tbe United

States warship Hoosatonic in 18G4 was

perfected. A greater use of submarine

boats would have been made at

Charleston but for Beauregard's re

luctance to permit sailors to take the

chances of disaster In experimental

craft. Several crews were lost In the

cigar boat before It scored a success,

and even then the entire crew went

down alongside of the enemy which

was destroyed.

In comparison with battleships tor

pedo boats are inexpensive, and a

belligerent can well afford to lo3e half

a dozen with every man on board in

order to destroy one battleship. At the

last session of congress when the naval

appropriation bill was under discus

sion arguments were made in the com

mittee rooms that money should not be

appropriated for battleships on ac

count of the showing made against

vessels of this class by the torpedo

boats at Tort Arthur. More torpedo

boats were recommended, but the gen

eral board of the navy favored battle

ships. With the torpedo growing in

importance the big ships will soon be

obsolete In naval armament.

Tbe Exposition at Portland.

Although the Lewis and Clark cen

tennial exposition at Portland, Ore., is

small in comparison with the world's

fairs of 1593 and 1004, it Is a big show

in Its way and celebrates a big event.

The residents of the whole Pacific

slope have uuited to make the exposi

tion a success.

A century ago the Lewis and Clark

exploring party traversed an unknown

wilderness, and the story of this ro

tua?;tlc acMevesoent as .veil as that of

the marvelous development of the re

gion during the past 100 years will be

told graphically by the varied exhibits

;it Portland. The history of (he expe

dition and of the conquest of the wil

derness which followed it Is unknown

to the mass of the American people.

As they excite curiosity and add

knowledge in different features of our

national growth, fairs like that at

Portland are valuable and should at

tract a liberal attendance on the part

of those who wish to become acquaint

ed with the most absorbing and thrill

ing Incidents of pioneer development

In America.

Two of Pastor Wagner's disciple*,

very young and very newly married,

recently abandoned their city home and

went to the country to lead the "slra

ple life" as taught by their master.

They found simplicity to their liking,

but somehow the dream lasted only

three days. The young man went to

the Held as plowboy, and the bride un

dertook the little task of milking twen

ty cows twice a day. But it takes mus

cle to hold a plow, and milk does not

flow without muscular coercion even in

the happiest land, so the disillusioned

pair hied back to the less strenuous

life of the city.

There is a suspicion abroad that the

tramp who saved the life of a Phila

delphia society belle the other day by

stopping her runaway horse and then

quoted Byron in asking for a kiss as

his reward was not the real thing.

Now and then a sociological student

takes to the road as a • hobo" in order

to get close to his subject. Perhaps

(he kissing hero was a professor in

disguise.

It is claimed that a floating mine of

tbe kind used at Port Arthur ls drift

ing about in the Pacific. Some of the

missing Japanese torpedo boats, all

primed for business, may yet be en

countered among Ibe ocean derelicts

Rnd add to the list of missing vessels,

with fate unknown.

There are still remaining in the

hands of the natives rear old civil war

battlefields many genuine army relics.

They are little valued, too, and do

duty as household and farm imple

ments or playthings for children.

Farmers ore again calling for college

boys to help In harvest. They say that

the best summer recruits are college

boys, which ls net strange, considering

the tough training the youngsters uu

iergo in athletics. .

THUMPING A KING

[Coypright, 1905. by T. C. McClure.l

The old Calabar river flows Into the

bight of Benin, on the west coast of

Africa and twenty miles up the river.

In the year 1862 was born the kingdom

of King Oyaaapoo. The British had

bad possession of that coast for thirty

years, but more In name than !n fact.

Their authority was supreme wherever

settlements had been made or ports

opened, but up the numerous rivers

and back from the coast the native

chiefs held full sway.

Oyainpoo was a man about forty

years old and chief of the Adamawa

tribe. lie began making war on other

tribes as soon as he had been elected

chief, and at forty he was cock of the

walk for 500 miles arouud. In twelve

years he had licked nine tribes and

brought them under his rule.

Traders had visited him and sold him

firearms and taught him how to use

them, and deserters from whale ships

and men-of-war bad found refuge with

him and taught his treops the white

man's drill and built forts to defend

bis capital on tbe water side. Cannon

and ammunition were wanted for those

•forts, and so one day when a French

survey brtg came up the river she was

seized and disarmed and her crew

made to shift the guns and instruct the

natives in their use.

Oyampoo wasn't cruel, but he was

ambitious. He had Just got bis forts

In working order when the British gov

ernment sent a gunboat up the river to

knock them about bis ears and humble

his pride. It wasn't a success. He

sank tbe craft In half an hour, and

such of her crew as sun lved were held

prisoners for months.

He expected the British to fight, and

there was a glad song In his heart

as he saw their ships in imagination

sailing up the muddy old Calabar to

give him battle. Within a distance of

seven miles he erected nine forts and

five or six earthworks. He counted up

and found that he hadn't cannon

enough, and be sent a fleet of war

canoes down to the gulf to see what

could be scooped in. As luck would

have It, a merchantman laden with

military supplies for Cape Coast Castle

had put In there in distress, and her

rapture was an easy Job. There were

twelve cannon among her supplies, and

these went up tbe river to be mounted,

while her 2,000 muskets went to arm

J.OOO more of the king's fighting men.

According to Oyampoo, things were

coming his way and be was leading the

procession, but there was a little cloud

forming on the horizon which was be

yond his ken. The British had their

hands full elsewhere on the coast just

then, but they finally got around to

tiike the king's case under advisement.

All needed particulars were learned

from traders and deserters, and when

an expedition finally set out it knew

what It was up against.

Oyampoo bad posed as a strategist,

and be had had the advice of other

posers, and yet they fatal mis

take. All the forts h;ui ueeu built on

narrow islands in the river, with a

deep channel flowing on each side, and

the batteries in front of the town were

protected only by flimsy earthworks

and could be taken In reverse. The

depth of the river was well known,

and the exact location of each fort was

mapped out. Four men of-war, accom

panied by two transports carrying

2,000 infantry, made up the expedition,

and when it had gathered at the mouth

of the river Oyampoo sent word down

that he would demolish It on sight. As

a matter of form he was asked to sur

render, and he returned word that he

would have the ears of the commander

of the expedition.

It was thought best to make an ob

ject lesson of Oyampoo and to make

a fair stand up light of it. The ex

pedition, therefore, advanced up the

river with wind and tide one morn

ing about 8 o'clock, and word was

sent to the king of Its coming. Salvos

were fired and hurrahs given, and by

and by the head of the line appeared.

Two of the fighting ships took one

channel and two tbe other, and in th's

way all the forts were taken in re

verse. The transports did the same,

and the rifle fire poured into the em

brasures, and the roar of the forts was

enough alone to drive the natives from

the gnns.

Of tbe fifteen mounted cannon not

more than three were fired more than

once. The big shells from the fighting

ships knocked tbe earthworks to pieces

and dismounted the guns, and the rifle

fire mowed tbe defenders down by the

score. The men-of-war sailed up to

the city without a halt and with only

three men killed, and, anchoring In

front of the capital, they knocked it

into smithereens within half an hour.

What huts were not knocked to pieces

were reduced to ashes in the confla

gration.

The natives did not run away like

cowards. On the contrary, they fought

In a way to compel admiration and yet

without a show. When flesh and blood

could stand It no longer they broke

and fled, and the victors landed and

finished the chapter. It was three days

before Oyampoo could be induced

to come forward and take a little

fatherly advice. He had lost his king

dom, bis capital and his armament,

nnd he had had 800 of his army killed.

He was told what would be expected

of him in the future, and his written

declaration was taken that he would

forever bear allegiance to tbe British

crown.

In three .short days he was reduced

from a boastful and powerful ruler

to a contrite and badly frightened sub

ject, and the lesson was one he never

forgot. Two years later he was pick

ing up shells at Cape Coast and selling

them to traders for a living, and wins

he happened to get in the way of- a

white man he was kicked asMe like
