Senator C. R. Davis came up from st. Peter
yesterday TO look up information and data
concerning the cases that have recently been
brought in his district by the Winona & St

claimed by that company under old railroad
grants. Senator Davis represents O number
of the settlers, and feels quite sure that he
will be able to keep his men in possession.
Some of these settlers homesteaded their
land, but the government would not allow
them to prove up because there was dis

railroad grants or not The senator was
feeling remarkably good, and declared that

Mr. Dillman is All enthusiast On the sub

fund of information in regard to its resources
and condition of development thst shows
him TO be not only careful student of every
thing relating to it. but also that he is thor
oughly and heartily in earnest in his efforts
TO develop the new state. In speaking of the
condition of affairs in the state he said:
within a radius of 80 miles of Spokane
over 100000 bushels of wheat were
raised this year. The oats crop amount
ed to about 100000 bushels, while
the yield OF barley was close upon 100000
bushels. The fruit crop was worth 81, ,OOO

unusually good with us. We had large crops
last year, as we'll as great activity in other
lines but think I am safe in saying that
business is 30 per cent better than It was at
this time in 1907
How is the real estate market?"
Real estate is quiet in Spokane" an
swered Mr.. Dillman. but the country is
being settled up rapidly, many farmers com
ing to us from Kansas, Nebraska and other
states, all of which is bound to be of great
benefit to us in the future. While our wheat
is not as good in quality as the wheat raised
in this state and the Dakotas, being softer,
much more can be raised to the acre. Our
average yield of wheat is about forty bushels
in a good year and alb )ut twenty in a poor
one. One man near Spokane had sixty acres
this year that yielded eighty bushels to the
acre. OF course this is unusually large, but
know of one man who had an acre that
produced 101 bushels. Potatoes have gone as
high as 800 bushels to the acre, and I have
seen cabbages SO large that washtub would
not hold them. OF course" remarked Mr..
Dillman with smile. Il do not expect that
people who have not seen the same sights
will believe this. but it is all true neverthe-
less"
''Dothe citizens Of Spokane Falls expect
the Great Northern to pass through the city,"
THAT is exactly what they expect. They
are now within 240 miles of Spokane with
the track, and about 5000 men are engaged

city on the east. 1t is going to be

FINS ON HIS FEET.
Billy Barber, a New York Fisherman, who
Has Never Worn Shoe or Sock.

Billy Barber, a New York Fisherman, who
Has Never Worn Shoe or Sock.
From the New York Herald.
Billy Barber, sole owner Of BARRIERS raft, On
VOLTS pond, Sullivan county. NY, has pecu-
liar habit Of going barefooted the year around,
and it is said that he has never had on pair Of
boots, shoes or socks.
1t is claimed that Barber was found on a raft
up in "Old Sullivan" on cold November day
thirty-eight years ago, when he was about ten
days old. Billy had no. particle of clothing
on at tina. time, and how he came to be on the
raft no one could ever find out. 1t has been
suggested that, Jonah-like. he was cast out
upon the raft by a big pickerel. This looks
almost plausible, for exposure has caused fin
like appendices to grow out of the sides of bis
pedal extremities just like the fins on o pick
what like duck.
When he was found young Barber was taken
in, cared for and reared to manhood by poor
but kind-hearted Sullivan county fisherman.
He has never been away from home in his life
and has never seen locomotive or steamboat
or heard the tinkle of a telephone bell. He
cares for nothing but fishing, and summer or
winter you can find him on the pond either on
his raft or on the ice.
During the present winter this peculiar char
acter can be seen daily standing on the ice
barefooted watching his tipups, and he Is hav-
ing a fine run OF luck since the new year
opened.

''Itis therefore evident that last year we did
not have enough eligibles from most of the
states and that there were not a dozen from
which we had too many. The only trouble
arises from the fact that some states send in
very many applicants for examination and
others very few Under the law we are re-
quired to hold two examinations each year in
every state. 1t would be much better if we
were permitted to hold examinations only in
those states which at the time were behindEand
in their appointments This would result in no
injustice to any state and would bring about
the constant correspondence of the lists of
eligibles and the lists of appointees- We ought

would have been entitled. and the number it
has really had. The District of Columbia has

Metempsychosis.
From the London Telegraph.

A fanatical believer in the doctrine of
metempsychosis- Brochard of vouv-
ray near Tours-died recently, leaving all her
money to the Assistance Publique Department.
The will, naturally, was contested by the dis
inherited relatives of the deceased lady and
their case, which has come on before the Or
leans appeal court, led to some peculiar dis
closures about the testatrix. Madame Brochard.
who was a widow, believed firmly that her hus-
bands soul had passed into the body of an
omnibus horse and the animal in question was
accordingly the object of her special venera-
ton and even affection. She had also visions of
the periodical descents from heaven of one of her
relatives, whom she believed to be engaged in
fulfilling the humble but useful functions of q
postman for the celestial hierarchy. Like the
positivists, Madame Brochard had a special
cult for great men of the past, whose spirits
she frequently evoked; held imaginary con-
versations with them. and wrote from their
dictation several profound philosophical
treatises which are not destined to see the light
of publication. Other eccentric actions were re-
lated of the testatrix, but the judges had heard
quite enough to enable them to make up their
minds on the question Of the validity of her
last will and testament. Madame Brochard's
heirs have won their case and are to enter into
the possession of the property of the defunct
lady, who has certainly distanced by her ex-
traordinary doctrines the spiritualists Of this or
any other country.

Some Things That Deter Women From

Some Things That Deter Women From
Marriage.
From the North American Review.
There are three general causes which bring
marriage into disfavor with women]: phjlan-
thropy, higher education and self-analysis.
The first has been powerful factor in its sub
tie influence against marriage. The mental at
mOsphere II permeated with the idea of respon-
sibility for another's happiness. Woman now
feels herself accountable for the welfare of hui
mainly, and through the exercise of that re-
sponsibility has found occupation for mind and
heart, which has prevented absorption in her
own affairs. Higher education has affected
marriage, inasmuch as it has opened new
avenues Of employment for women, has forti-
ned them for life as q whole and has led them
to regard marriage as an incident 1t has given
girls communists feeling which makes them
prefer to teach where there are other teachers
rather than to live on hilltop and read aloud
to their parents or to retire to o farm or Q ten
ement and bake and brew for their husbands.
The higher education has separated marriage
and motherhood. Almost al women love chill
dren and would gladly use their knowledge for
the delight and profit Of family, but they do
not want the intervening marriage. Analysis

These lists show that with four or five excep-
tions the correspondence between the share
each state Is entitled to and the share il has
actually had is very close indeed Most even
of the little inequality that exists is accounted
for by the fact that under the law preference
claiming veterans are entitled to certification
from any state, whether il is in order of certifi-
cation or not 1t must also be remembered
that the relative position of the states vary
from month 10 month with each batch of ap-
pointments- Thus eight months ago Iowa had
received exactly its share, while Georgia was
behind Now the reverse is true; but a year
hence Iowa viii probably again be even. More
over, there Is NO sectional inequality; each sec
uor furnishes states that are ahead and states
that are behind

The sums total of appointments in these two

therefore IL Ia easy to see at glance how well
the quotas Of the states are filed under the re-

case under the old patronage system With
one exception every state has had 80 Der cent
or over Of its proper share of the Appointments
made under the civil service law While under
the old system, as shown in the above tables.
there were a dozen states each of which had
received but 10 per cent or less Of its proper

OF Columbia has an excess. but under the old
system this excess was nearly tenfold greater.
