A TELEGRAM was received at Wichita
from Coldwater this week asking if any
of their banks had been robbed. An ex-
PLANTATION was asked and another tele-
gram was received, stating that man
had exhibited five dollar bill in the
town.-Kiowa Kan County Times.
We knew that the "jayhawkers" were
close run on account of the last three
years of successive crop failure, but we
had no idea that it was so bad that the
exhibit of a five-dollar bill would be
taken as conclusive evidence that bank
had been robbed. We feel for the dis
appointed people of the sun-fowor
state" and our best advice would be to
turn their backs on tho country of
drouth, hot winds and grasshoppers and
come out to our new state where such
things are unknown, and where every
body is happy, prosperous and above
suspicion. It's nothing to see farmers
go down in their jeans and pull out a
roll of bills or a time-worn buckskin
full of "old yaller twenties " in this
country.-ROsalia Rustler.

BY the provisions of the admission bill
the governor, the chief justice and the
territorial secretary will. prior to April
Is, divide Washington into twenty-five
districts according to present population.
The latest estimate of our population is
100000, in accordance with which dis
tricts would be established with an
allowance of 1890 people to each. The
governor, by proclamation, issued April
Is, will order an election to be held
Thursday, May IA, for delegates to the
constitutional convention, each district
to elect three persons, making the con-
yention to consist of seventy-fve dele
gates. The rights of the minority are
protected, for no elector can vote for
more than two persons for delegates.
1t was deemed advisable to make the
convention body in which both of the
leading political parties should have a
fair representation, and by the above
mentioned provision it was aimed to
have the third delegate elected by the
party in the minority.

THE new murder law is now in force
in New York and the effect of its oper-
atoms will be watched with much inter
est This law condemns the murderer on
conviction to be killed by electricity and
buried in prison, his body to be de-
stroyed by quicklime, and not a prayer
for his soul to said over the corpse. He
parts with his relatives for the last time
at the door of the courtroom after SEN
tence. They do not know the date at
which he is to be killed. He is shackled
and carried out Of town to one of the
state prisons. A week is set by the
judge, and on some day in that week he
is killed by the wires and put under the
ground, and the newspapers are forbid
den to print anything about the execu-
ton except that the sentence was
carried out.

THE interior department has recently
made an important land-entry ruling.
The existing law provides that an entry
of land made by minor, under any OF
the various laws, is invalid. The de-
partment has decided that person I'M
der 81 years of age, who has to support
a mother, brother, or other near relative,
provided he complies with the require
ments of the law, is person whose age
in such cases is not a barrier to prevent
him from making a land entry.

Coming by Thousands.
TColfax Gazette.


The tide of immigration has set in
toward Washington territory. Trans
portation companies are taxed to the
utmost to furnish accommodations to
the multitudes heading this way. The
Northern Pacific, the Canadian Pacific
and the Union Pacific, by way of the
Oregon Short Line, are all pouring
train-loads of immigrants into Wash
ington. The Northern Pacific is fire.
quently obliged to run west-bound
trains in two divisions, so heavy is the
travel. Transportation companies esti-
mate the influx at 500 per day. This
would foot up to $4,000 per month.
Think of it!
Two years ago Washington territory
was hardly ever heard of east OF the
Rocky mountains. Most of the early
settlers came from California and Ore
gon. But with the completion of the
Northern Pacific and the Oregon Short
Line, home seekers from the east began
to struggle through the mountain passes
and settle in Oregon and Washington.
Last year the immigrants were about
equally divided between Oregon and
Washington territory, but this year
Washington leads the van.
Washington is now being pretty well
advertised. The Northern Pacific is
advertising it for the sale Of their lands
and the passenger traffic; the o. r. & N.
Co. for the same purpose; real estate
men for business purposes; and settlers
to get their friends into the same "box,"
which, by the way, is usually happy
and contented condition.
The prospect of statehood is probably
an element in the issue. There is a
natural dread in the minds of many as
regards making a home in territory,
besides the agitation over its admission
in Congress brought out many points
concerning the resources of this much
favored section. Let them come. Here
is field of work adapted to the wants
and abilities of every individual. Here
are all the conditions necessary to make
great and happy commonwealth.
Come right along; you will not be
crowded after you leave the railroad
train.

In Germany and other countries of
Europe there are many singing birds,
beautiful in plumage and musical in
song, that are not native to America.
Among these are the nightingale, song
thrush, bulltinch, skylark and others.
A year ago movement was made by
citizens of Portland to import a thous-
and of these birds into Oregon, with the
expectation that they would rapidly in
crease in numbers and soon become as
plentiful as the native birds. They will
arrive in May, and will be turned loose
IN and near the city. The mocking bird,
bob-o-link and red-bird are also to be
taken to Oregon from the southern
states. The mild climate of Oregon will
no doubt be appreciated by what the
West Shore Magazine calls "Our Feath-
cred Immigrants" which is the title of a
large art supplement accompanying the
magazine for March. This is an elegant
piece of artistic printing in colors, and
shows these birds, sixteen distinct kinds,
In their natural colors. Every lover OF
birds will be charmed with this beautiful
engraving. The number also contains
a description of them, as well as much
other interesting and valuable informa-
ton about the Pacific northwest. Price

That New Court House.

It seems that our neighbors in Colfax
are in some terrible strait, mentally or
otherwise, Judging from the efforts they
are making to get court house erected
before there is any further development
of the country. We are real sorry that
nothing short of a $65,000 pull at the
public pap will save the once thriving
city from destruction. 1t calls to our
mind the words of the psalmist-
"Grcat God, on what a slender thread
Eternal things are hung"
He might have added, land sometimes
earthly things, too" This last dodge
of the Commissioners is only legal
monstrosity that will die a bornin'. The
principle is wrong, and it ought to die.
-Palouse City Boomerang.
The Boomerang is right, and express
es the sentiment of the people in its To-
cality, as we'll as the sentiment of nine
teen twentieths of the whole county. 1t
is well-known fact, also, that there is a
strong and growing feeling among our
taxpayers in favor of a division of this
too bulky" county, perhaps on north
and south line, and that at an early
date. This feeling will certainly crys-
tallize into vigorous action, and will be
successful. In this view Of the case it
is not to be supposed that the citizens
of the new county will now submit to
being saddled with heavy tax to erect
and furnish a public building in which
they will have no interest whatever.
Again: It is quite apparent that the
primo movers in this courthouse scheme
are headed by few agricultural imple-
ment firms, or their representatives, at
Colfax, who have everything to gain and
nothing to pay in securing success.
They pay no taxes in Whitman county,
to speak of, and are careful to send away
to their Portland or San Francisco head
quarters, just before the assessor comes
around, the farmers notes and cash
which they have accumulated in the
course of an untaxed business. The
burden of paying the courthouse debt
must be borne by the farmers and other
property owners of the county. We
submit that these property owners-the
agriculturists especially-are sufficient
ly burdened now, not the least of their
load being the usurious interest exacted
by these same unemployment firms. If,
therefore, any addition is proposed to be
made to the tax rate it strikes the HER
AID that the important question should
first be submitted for decision to those
who must foot the bill. The course al
ready taken by majority Of the Coun-
ty Commissioners, in the face of numer-
ously signed protests from the taxpay-
ers, is therefore not only unjust but is
also cowardly and contemplate. Under
the circumstances it is quite useless for
the Colfax newspapers to plead for char
mony."
