THERE is city on Vancouver island,
close to the Pacific ocean, in which
women are very scarce. 1t lacks
women so sadly that in recent census
of the place it was found nearly 10000
short. The thrifty people Of the place
have written east and few days ago
the mayor of the place received sug-
gestion that, as women were numerous
in the east he should devote a part of
the funds Of the town to sending east
for car load OF marrigeable young
women to come out and settle in the
vacant homes. The town resolved to
adopt the suggestion and will ft up a
''home" for the new arrivals.

Hail storms in the Orange Free State

One of these republics-the Orange
Free state-is very nearly as large as
England, and just as large as the state
Of New York. 1t lies from 1000 to 5000
feet above the sea, and is mostly level,
with some low ranges of hills. The
surface is bare of wood, except in a
few sheltered spots along the streams,
but is we'll covered with heritage. The
air is pure and bracing, much like that
of Colorado or Wyoming. There are,
happily, no blizzards; but violent thun-
der storms are not uncommon, and the
hailstones-I have seen them bigger
than pigeons eggs-which fall during
such storms sometimes kill the smaller
animals and even men.-Prof. James
Bryce, NJ. p, in Century.

ORIGIN or BLUE GRASS.

. u. e. - A. .,. ~
Not Originally Ksntacky Product, for
1t Came from Indiana.
II notice by the papers that some-
body in the south part of the state wants
to know where blue grass first started"
said Prof John Collett, ex-state geolo.'
gist.
"A great many people contend that
| It was first found in Kentucky, but this
is not so. Blue grass is q native of the
Wabash valley in Indiana. 1t was found
by William Henry Harrison's troops
during the solemn march to Tippe-
canoe in 1911. Harrison gathered a
small army at Ohio Falls and started
rorth. At Vinccnnes the gallant
heroes realized that they could not 60
200 miles up the Wabash without feed
for their horses. Gen. Harrison had
two cribs of corn at Terre Haute and
| persuaded the men to 60 on. As they
came on with hungry horses and scant
feed they found the ground covered
with blue grass. Six miles west of
Newport on the Collett farm was found
bountiful supply Of blue grass. Some
places in the bottom it was growing
three feet high and such feed had never
been heard of by the kentucky soldiers.
At State Line City more blue grass was
found and from there to Tippecanoe the
whole line of march was covered with
blue grass. The seed was carried back
to kentucky and sown there, but they
could not make it thrive alone in the
warm soil and it had to be sown with
oats and rye. Mr.. sandusky, the father
of the present family of that name, told
me in an early day that no blue grass
grew in Kentucky until after it was
imported from Indiana. Tom Down
ing, of Terre Haute, was an ardent ad-
mrer of Henry Clay, and once went to
visit him at his home near Ashland,
Ky. After seeing the fine farm, we'll
set in blue grass, Downing suggested
that Mr.. Clay let him have some of the
seed to take back to Indiana.
"'Tom, don't make a fool OF your
SELF said Clay, the grandsirc OF ken-
lucky blue grass is growing around
YOUR house in the fence corners of
YOUR fields. We got the seed from
Terre Haute and the middle Wabash,
and after hard struggle got it to grow
here in it's present luxuriousness.' "

The New Capitol building.

jackson, May %, Several achitects
have been here recently examining the
capitol building with view Of submit
ting plans for new building. They all
agree that new building is almost IN
imperative necessity. The best impress
sion seems in, the direction that Gov.
McLaurin will. most probably call An
extra session some time during ths
summer to have the matter considered,
but SO far as known has indicated to no
one what he intends doing ills prob.
able that the expressions OF the leyis.

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS
Creps In the Delta.

The clarksdale Banner says OF tho
,rop prospects in that section: "ltis not
only gratifying to us, but decidedly en-
couraring to our entire business and
mercantile community to receive the
continued good crop reports that are
coming in, and these reports will help
merchants to accept pbilosophically all
the dull periods that they are likely to
have during the impending summer
months, when business 10 always more
or less stagnant. Good crops as are
now indicated will surely make trade
lively this fall, and tho fact that all OF
them are being made At the smallest
possible cost by the farmers and plant
ers means that they will have that much
more actual money to spend when they
market their products. 1t Is to be hoped
that nothing may occur to interfere with
= bouuteous yield, in which event the
whole planting fraternity will be placed
upon prosperous footing"

In the department there are some good
men. Acting Chief OF Police Hogle Is very
efficient officer. a taxpayer and an honest
man. Detective Cudihee's name has been
mentioned. Cudihee has been in police
service for a long time and his combat
with the desperate Tom Banck won for
him reputation that time cannot efface.
Cudihee has been in most of the big cases
in late years in this city, and has fairly
won the reputation Of being one of the
most impartial witnesses that ever took
the stand. Those who are anxious 10 see
him get the place viii be disappointed.

sition.
Sergeant Willard is not spoken of 10 any
extent, presumably because he is a Demo-
crat in national politics. In local politics
Willard has never been mixed up, and he
has many friends in all parties who would
like TO see him handle the reins of the
police department
Chief OF Police Rogers is expected 10 be
back in the city within the next ten days.
