1905 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 premise, wish to do our part toward developing these resources and bringing 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 broadminded 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 principles 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, Seattle 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 Seattle. 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 purchased at Scmebody-or-other's store, even if 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 cent 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 memory of the truly good and great. He lived his life; the world is better for his living; his memory is honored 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 advert sement. Mr. Ira Edwards was the to furnish oopy for his ad. The first copy of the paper was purchased by O.

S. Sampson, mayor of Wenachee, and the first man to make a payment on his subscription was Mr. D. Leonard. Unless Russia makes peace with Japan soon, it looks as tbongh there would be no Russia for Japan peace with i The Torpedo Is King.

When the Japanese torpedo boat flotilla 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 torpedo boats indicated that they can be terribly effective under certain conditions. Tbe mechanism of the submarines 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 advocates 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 Charleston nnd Mobile, but not to an extent which could decide a conflict. The Confederate General Beauregard was believer In torpedoes for harbor de fense and used them with effect at Charleston in 18C3. Under his direction the famous cigar shaped submarine 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 reluctance 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 torpedo 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 discussion arguments were made in the committee rooms that money should not be appropriated for battleships on account of the showing made against vessels of this class by the torpedo boats at Tort Arthur. More torpedo boats were recommended, but the general board of the navy favored battleships. 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 centennial exposition at Portland, 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 exposition a success. A century ago the Lewis and Clark exploring party traversed an unknown wilderness, and the story of this acMevesoent as as that of the marvelous development of the region during the past 100 years will be told graphically by the varied exhibits Portland. The history of (he expedition and of the conquest of the wilderness 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 attract a liberal attendance on the part of those who wish to become acquainted with the most absorbing and thrilling Incidents of pioneer development In America.

Two of Pastor Wagner's very young and very newly married, recently abandoned their city home and went to the country to lead the "slraple 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 undertook the little task of milking twenty cows twice a day. But it takes muscle 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 Philadelphia 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 drifting about in the Pacific. Some of the missing Japanese torpedo boats, all primed for business, may yet be encountered 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 implements 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 uuiergo in athletics. THUMPING A KING 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 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 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 government 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 beyond 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 mistake. All the forts 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, accompanied 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 surrender, and he returned word that he would have the ears of the commander of the expedition. It was thought best to make an object lesson of Oyampoo and to make a fair stand up light of it. The expedition, therefore, advanced up the river with wind and tide one morning 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 reverse. The transports did the same, and the rifle fire poured into the embrasures, 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 conflagration. 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 kingdom, 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 days he was reduced from a boastful and powerful ruler to a contrite and badly frightened subject, and the lesson was one he never forgot. Two years later he was picking 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 tt KJPAA WENATCHEE.
