The EAGLE declares that Wichita is "a
bigger City than any twice its size in the
world" And is this the kind of stuff that
the Wichita board of trade sends east for
distribution, with the idea of inducing
immigration ?-Emporia Republican.
1t is just that kind of ''stuff'' that is
sent, ana it is accepted as gospel truth,
because the major part of the people east
have learned, from their own observa-
tons and experience, or that of friends
and acquaineances that it is literally
true. 1t may, and no doubt does sound
extravagant to a nice, finished, polished
city like Emporia, but we never color
our pictures too highly. Visitors to
Wichita invariably admit this. Yes,
sir, wichita is bigger city than any
city twice its size in the world" and

The New York World bases some Gu
rious estimates upon the assertion made
in some quarters that piece of wood of
the size of a mOnth-old babe would be
worn away one-half in six months if
handled as much as the average babe is.
1t ventures the opinion that if the
woman who handles the babe were made
Of wood she would be worn away alto
gether in six months. Following out
this line of thought, it is easy to see that
if an editor were made of wood, in six
months he would be sitting on the base
of his neck. and that a pretty girl SINH
larly constituted could not be engaged to
be married for year without breaking
in two at the waist. An active mind

in commenting upon the incident says:
1T is very easy to denounce people on
this coast for desiring to protect them
selves against being overrun by the
hordes of Asiatics, which, if unchecked,
would in another quarter of century
drive white labor out of the country and
finally possess the land for themselves.
Self preservation is the first law of ma
ture and if New England had to do with
the Chinese problem, its Methodist con-
ference wNld sing quite another tune, ="

ion dollars, situated on the line of the
Canadian Pacific railway, near the sum-
nit of the Rocky mountains, in the
Canadian National Park. The house is
electric-lighted and has every comfort
and convenience found in city hotels of
the highest grade. The numerous hot
sulphur springs in close proximity vary
in temperature from so to 121 degrees.
and perfect bathing facilities are sup
piled. Testimony to the wonderful
curative properties of the waters is
plentiful. A first-class livery of driv-
ing and saddle horses forms part of the
establishment, and there are excellent
roads and walks in all directions, built
and maintained by the government.
The house is 5000 feet above sea level
and is surrounded by magnificent mount
ain peaks 5000 to 5000 feet high. In
the grandeur of scenery and purity of
atmosphere the region is immeasurably
superior to any similar health resort on
