They Must Pay Immediately or Vacate
Northern Pacific Lands.

They Must Pay Immediately or vacate
Northern Pacific Lands.
The farmers OF Southern Stevens
county, Washington, are in trouble. The
recent order OF the Northern Pacific
thro wing upon the market all its lands
in twenty-five townships, is in effect a
demand upon the lieu land settlers to
make immediate payment of money that
scores of them do not possess. Ii the or
der as it now stands is to be actually en-
forced. the settlers fear the history Of the
Mussel swamps OF California will be re-
peated this year in Washington.
The official notices are dated February
3, but many Of the settlers did not receive
them until two weeks ago. after they had
read the announcement in the Spokane
Chronicle that the lands were to be sold.
The terms OF the sale 10 printed on the
back of such notice. The settlers are re-
qured to pay the first installment OF the
appraised value within sixty days after
the date of the notices, or by April A. On
prairie land one-fifth Of the value must be
paid the first year. On timber land two
fifths are required. The remainder is tc
be paid in FIVE yearly installments with
interest at 7 per cent. Nearly all OF the
farms in Southern Stevens county are
said to be Chased az timber land.
Besides this payment the buyer mus,
sign a contract surrendering all claim tC
mineral deposits, coal, etc. upon the
land, agreeing to cut no timber except TO-
actual use, until he has paid for the land
guaranteeing full riRht-of-way for any
branches of the Northern Pacific tina
may run through his farm and agreeing
to fence both sides of such road, If built
at his own expense.
In case any settler on railroad LAM
does not subscribe to this contract AM
make the first payment before April 4
he is notified that his prior right to pur
chase the land will be forfeited and tn
company will consider itself at liberty t
sell his farm to any other purchaser.

THE DEADLY CIGARETTE.
what @ College President Has to Say
Concerning 1t.

What o College President Has to Say
Concerning 1t.
President Jordan, OF Stanford Univer-
sity says of the cigarette habit: "As q
college teacher my experience with boys
who have formed the cigarette habit is
somewhat limited. 1t, however, confirms
me in the opinion that such boys are
like wormy apples-they drop long be-
fore harvest time. Very few of them
ever advance far enough tn enter college.
Very few of those who enter last beyond
the first year. They rarely make fail
ures in after life, because they don't have
any after life. The boy who begins Gig
arctic smoking before he is Is never en-
tiers the life OF the world. When the
other boys are taking hold OF the worlds
work he is connected with the sexton OF
the undertaken. There is one grim argu-
ment to be made for the use OF cigarettes
by boys-it helps on the survival Of the
| 6ttest. The manly boy does not take 10
such things. He has life in him."

One OF the peculiar and interesting points about

those familiar with the steamers which are
stantly passing up and down the bay tell so
far as a steamer be seen. what line she belongs
TO- where she is FROM and in many instances the

distinctive mark or distinguishing characteristic.
This IS generally the funnel. or smokestack. either
