Iris simply impossible to establish 2 cash system among class of people who have no money. They must have merchandise, and they must buy on credit. If the mortgage is abolished those who do buy on credit will not be benefited. The fact of mortgaging a crop, in itself, cuts no figure in the case. The man who furnishes will certainly exact security or reciprocity of some character, and the much talked ruinous profits will not bs di. miuished.

At the first coming of company tho patrons must depend upon the record made previously at other cities, and people are often in doubt about whether it is worthy of their enoour- agement. But when, after repeated appearances in the same city, . com. pany IS greeted by m over-crowdsd house there can be no doubt that it occupies . high position in tho esteem of theater-goers. Such was the case last night. Miss Georgie Hamlin has appeared in this city 8 number of times as soubrette to crowded houses but last night broke tho record and people were turned away, Miss Ham, lin producing her own special piece entitled Little Vic" She was greeted by . house in which standing room was at 3 premium, and by m audience which showed it's appreciation of her accomplishments by hearty appla use every time she came upon the stage. Her support was excellent. Cameron will be glad to welcome Miss Hamlin at any time.-Cameron (No.) Daily Sun, December 25.

 duty and we take pleasure in telling the public what it is. Such medicine we found Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. By the use of this syrup we have re-
 lieved, in few hours, severe colds, and i'll the course of two or three days
 entirely broken them up, as have
 several of our friends to whom we
 have recommended 1t. It Is all it Is rep

\ SsKNs1BLE MANS VIEWS ON THE

 EDITOR TiMEs:--Thc senate has passed bill to repeal tue crop mortGngs law. The house committee on agriculture have reported back with the recommendation that 1t do not pase. l think the c0mmittce's recommendation will be needed. The committee, however. have recommended the passage of . bill introduced by Yancsy, of Phillips county, which ex- empts from the lion of mortgage onc-tourth of the crop of 'sl, one-half of the crop of vs and three-fourths of the crop of go.

 Now very we'll know the condition of the people who sent me here. l am safe in cay ing that thrse-fourths of them cannot turn . furrow without assistance from some source, and I think l am within bounds whom say that nine-tenths of the farmers of the county must have assistance to mako the crop of the current year. Will the repeal of the mort gage law help these mon to make bread and meat? Will it replace sick. disabled or dead

 There are . few landlords in St. Francis county who are able to either pay cash for supplies or who have suffcient property not exempt from execution to mako their credit good. Now such men can furnish their ten. ants and croppsrs. but will 1t be any better for the renter or croppera Men arc pretty much alike. and the landlord will be no i'm provement over his brother. the merchant.

FROH YAKIMA 10 THE SEA.


Indianapolis, Ind. Sentinel: Our Amer
ican people are making diligent inquiry
about the west, as the social maladjust-
ments in the country have developed Q
deep and widespread discomfort. Upon
investigation they have found the Willapa
harboF to be the best on the Pacific coast,
cave that Of San Francisco; they saw that
there was but three or four even reason
ably good haTbors on the nearly thousand
miles Of Pacific sea coast, and that nat
urally there must be great cities on al oi
these harbos. They learned that on the
tributaries Of the Willapa river there are
very extensive bodies Of magnificent tim
ber; that the richest coal fields In the
west are in the CowlitE valley; that from
North Yakima through these valleys 10
South Bend 10 the nearest outlet from the
great interior to the sea; and that the
strongest railroad corporation in America
had determined to push this hundred and
forty miles line through as fast as money
and men can build It, and persuaded BY
these wonderful advantages the people
have been pouring into the country. They
have been guided, not by the land boom
ers, but by their own good sense; not by
the obtrusive advertiser, but by knoWl'
edge CLEANED from investigation.

The EORTHERI PACIFIC.
Theories Regarding he Building Il q Line Il
POTtland.-AOrth Yakima Embraced
in Every PROJECT.

Ore0oniaR: The question is not 80 much
now, "will the Northern Pacific build in
to Portland from Eastern Washington ?"
but "When will Il do so?" When the
sale Of the Hunt system to G. B Wright
was made public, people said, THAT settles
1t. The Northern will haul all the In
land Empire wheat to the Sound" "
Since then they have been thinking over
the importance Of Portland, and by en-.
couraging each other have made them
selves believe that Portland Is too big and
strong now for the Northern or any other
road to carry out Q successful warfare
against Il. II Is thought that Portland
is going to get lis share, and that good
big one, Of the Empire wheat, and II the
Northern wants to haul Il in, as well as
handle the increasing local business be-
tween here and there, it must build into
Portland.
A prominent railroad officer said yester-
day:
at is only question Of time when
the main road Of the Northern Pacific
will be shortened by using the present
narrow-gauEe division, having 1t widened
to standard with the possibility that the
line will be utilized via Davenport to
North Yakima, across to Chehalis, thence
into Portland. In case the route from

The MODERN WOMAN.
Is There Danger That She will Become Too
Strong AindedH

What would demure Priscilla have
thought Of the girl Of the period, with her
fencing lessons, her dumb bells and her
general athletic air Would not Evelina
or Amanda Fitz-Allen have swooned
at the idea Of q doctor or q lady running
business Office or monthly magazine!
But woman is daily acquiring a new
hold on the problem Of life. Now that
she Is emulating men in the race for
bread It is delicate. question how far
that affects her home life. viii the bus
iness woman make q good wife?
Most men prefer to have their wives
dedicate their lives to home life alone,
and strenuously oppose their entrance
into the business world. The rough side
Of human nature one sees, they say,
hardens them, and takes off the delicate
bloom that is q woman's greatest charm.
Other men, but they are in the minority,
declare that they would like TO have
their wives on equal footing with them
selves in business life.
But no matter how much will be
woman's achievements the vast majority
will be destined to be wives and mothers.
And while a broad education and enlight-
ened views will only fit her the better
for her difficult duties, 1t is not probable
that the woman who is running a real
estate office will be the one most apt to
be cherished by q loving husband.
