The Kansas Board Of Immigration
proposes to raise fund by voluntary
contributions from each county, get
the railroads to run excursions on oil
the roads leading to Kansas and then
TO advertise and distribute advertising
matter for all the towns which will
supply it. But there is a good field
left for every resident-a personal one.
Let everyone send letters TO distant
friends and mail local papers and
"writeups" of town aud county. Let
the proposing immigrant know that
we have good farms that can be
bought for what is paid in annual
rents in some states. That our range
of products grown is greater than that
grown in any other latitude. That
we can grow anything from winter
wheat to cotton, and with profit. That
we have here periods of from l75 10
100 days without frost, and u climate
that excels that Of southern Califor-
MIA.

At q conference held between the
managers of the Kansas railroads Oh
the one side and Governor Humphrey,
representing the interests of the state,
OH the other, held at Topeka on Satur-
day last, it was agreed to reduce rates
for the transportation OF grain from
Kansas according to schedule pre-
pared. For some time the people OF
Kansas have demanded reduction OF
rates, and, as it has been impossible
for the producer to realize anything
from his crops at the present freight
rates, the demand seemed 10 be reason
able to say the least, and it is hoped
that the compromise agreed upon will
be to the benefit of all concerned.

Uncle Sans Unknown Land.
Seattle Press.

Washington has her great unknown
land like the interior Of Africa. The
country shut in by the Olympic noun
tains, which includes all area Of 1000
TO $500 square miles, has never, to the
positive knowledge of old residents Of
the territory, been trodden by the foot
of man, white or Indian. These
mountains rise from the level country
within ten or fifteen miles OF the
Straits of San Juan de Fuca in the
north. the Pacific ocean in the west,
Hoods canal in the east and the basin
of Ouinault lake in the south, and
rising to the height of 5000 to S,OU
feet, shut in a vast UNEMPLOYED area.
The Indians have never penetrated
il for their traditions say that it is in
habited BY Il fierce tribe which none Of
the coast tribes dared modest. Though
it is improbable that such tribe could
have existed in this mountain country
without their presence becoming
known TO the white men, no man has
ever ascertained that it did not exist.
White men, too, have only vague ac-
counts of any white man having ever
passed through this country, for inves-
LEGATION of all the claims of travellers
has invariably proved that they have
only traversed its outer edges.
The most generally accepted theory
in regard to this country is that 1t
consists of great valleys, stretching
from the inward slopes of the noun
tains 10 great central basin. The
theory is supported by the fact that al
though the country round has abun-
dant rain ana clouds constantly hang
over the mountain tops all the streams
flowing toward the four points are in
significant and rise only on the out
ward slopes of the range, none ap.
pearing to drain the great lakes shut
in by the mountains. This fact APP
pears to support the theory that
streams flowing from the inner slopes
of the mountains feed great interior
lake. But villa! drains this lake? 1t
must have an outlet somewhere and,
as all the streams pouring from the
mountains rise in their outward slopes,
il must have q suGterranean outlet to
the ocean, the straits or the sound.
There are great discoveries in store
for some of Washington's explorers.

The drillers of natural gas and
heavy lubricating oil between Paola
and Ossawatomie struck strong flow
of gas last Saturday evening in new
field. This is the first that has been
found in that part of the country and
a. the well is near the state insane asy-
lum the flow can be used TO great
advantage. The gas and fuel for that
institution costs the state about $4,000
year, and with one or two more
wells there will be sufficient qusnti-
~ to supply the asylum. This is the
fourth gas field SO far discovered in
Miami county and it seems that the
supply is practically inexhauStible. In
addition TO the gas an excellent quail
~ of lubricating oil is found in the
same fields. Ia Paola all the public
buildings, hotels, restaurants, stores
and many private residences use natu-
raj gas exclusively for fuel and light,
and it is said to be much cheaper and
better than the manufactured article
