Gains A Point For Settlers.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 8-One Of
first calls made by Representative w.
L. Jones after arriving here was on
Binger Hermann, commissioner of the
general land Office. Settlers in Wash
ington and the other western states
have been of the opinion that if they
had resided upon land was surveyed
the railroad could come in with scrip
and practically take the land away
from them as they would have but
little money wherewith to contest the
railroad company's claim. 1t was to
get an authoritative opinion on this
matter that Mr.. Jones called to see
Commissioners Hermann.
The commissioner told him the de-
partment held that person who has
resided upon land prior to the location
of railroad scrip thereon and has con-
tinued TO live upon and improve the
land until such is surveyed will have
his claim recognized when he goes to
the land office and makes affidavit
showing settlement. His filing will
be received and the railroad company
will have to contest his right to the
land in order to hold it, thus throw
ing the burden of proof upon the rail
road company. Of course, under the
law prior to Oct. |. 1900, whenever a
person holding this scrip presents 1t al
any land Office and offers to file it upon
any land, the local officers are compel
led to accept it if the land is unsurvey-
ed, but when the survey is made and
the occupier of the land offers his fl
ing within ninety days, and proves by
affidavit his prioS settlement he is
given prior right to the land no mat
ter how many scrip filings there may
be upon it and the scrip holder, in or
der to establish his claim, will have to
initiate contest.-News.

Official Vote OF The State.

The official vote of the state at I'll G
recent general election was yesterday
announced from the secretary of states

pated. Of this number the Mckinley
electors received 81 ,456, the Bryan lie )

1856, the social labor electors S66 and

Motherhood means either happiness
or misery. There is scant happiness for
the mother, who in pain and weakness
brings into the world a weakling babe
which she can neither nurse nor nourish.

women for motherhood. It strengthens
the maternal organism. 1t tranquilizes
the nerves, encourages the appetite and
brings refreshing sleep. 1t makes the
birth hour practically painless and gives
the mother the nonrishment to give her
child.

THERE is a narrow strip of territor,

THERE is narrow strip of territory
along the coast where the rainfall in
excessive and almost continuous
through out the year. This district,
extending from South Bend on the
south to the straits, is probably that
part of the "Pacific coast" to which
reference was made in the publication
mentioned. The excessive rains in
that district are attributed to the
warm southwest wind striking the
Olympic range of mountains. The
government has the records of the dis
trict and they tell of an abnormal pre-
cipitation. For instance; Union City,
covering period of nearly six years,
shows an annual average rainfall Of
1856 inches. South Bend, covering
record OF four years, shows rainfall
of 91.3 inches. Neah Bay, with rec
ord of ten year, has an annual average
rainfall of 109.37 inches. Clearwater,
in the southwest corner of Jefferson
county, had an average in 1898 Of
1861 inches, and in 1899 Of 1916
inches. .-P.-I.

How We Have Grown In A Century.

The actual increase of population in
the ten years is about Ii, ,225, 900. The
rate of increase in the period from
1880 to 1890 averaged about q per
cent. each year. The rate for the past
ten years is about Ito per cent an
nually This diminution in the rate
is, in the rate is, in considerable part,
due to the diminished volume of i'm
migration. 'fhe individual effective
ness of the American. population is so
high that, in respect to material re-
sources and power, it will be conceded
by every one that the United States is
well in the forefront of the nations.
"The structure of the British empire
is such that, in comparison of popu-
lation, commerce, and other statistical
data, there is no more reason for ad-
ding Australia to England than for
adding Mexico to the United States.
Our population at the beginning OF the
nineteenth century was, in round fig
ures, 100000 white people, and 900,
600 negroes, the total being 5,328, ,4S3.
Curlously enough, we had almost ex-
actly the same population at that
time as Ireland, which in 1901 had 5,
395, ,456, After gaming very rapidly
for four decades, Ireland since 1S45
has declined steadily, until now it has
a population of about 100000. The
comparison of our national position at
the beginning and end of the nine
teenth century makes it clear enough
that, from the standpoint of the world
at large, the progress of the United
States has been the most noteworthy
features of the age. When France as
sisted us to gain our independence,
her population was at least five or six
times as great as ours. Ours is now
just twice as great as hers Ten years
ago our population was about $4,000,
600 more than that of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland
and now it is about 35,O00,0O0 more.
In 1910, unless normal conditions are
much disturbed, we shall have pop
ulation of 90,O00,000, while the Brit
lsh Islands will have about "A ,000. 900.
And we shall thus have more than
twice as many people as the mother
country.-From "The progress of the
World" in the American Monthly
Review of Reviews for December.

How to Cure Group.

Mr. r Gray, who lives near Armenia,
Duchess Co., N. Y, says: "Chamber-
lain's Cough Remedy Is the best medi-
cine / have ever used It is fine
children's remedy for Group and 1t
never fails to cure" When given as
soon as the child becomes hoarse, or
even after the croupy cough has devel-
oped, is will prevent the attack. This
should be borne in mind and a bottle
OF the Cough Remedy kept at hand
ready for instant use as soon as these
symptoms appear. at c. v. Dunbar's

The remarkable growth of the Unit
ed States astonishes foreigners as much
as it does ourselves, as is shown by a
paragraph in the London Telegraph,
which recently said: "The mighty
nation has now population of76, $780,
600. In the short space OF ten years
there has beer an increase of nearly
Ia, ,250, 900, which is equivalent to al
most IL per cent for the decade, or
rather more than 2 per cent per an
mum. When we remember that 200
years ago the population of the States
was under 3O0. .000-or rather more
than the present population of Brad
ford-and that 100 years ago it was but
little over !, 900, 900, it will be seen
with what amazing rapidity the young
gaint among the nations has built up
his strength.

Sixty Million Spawn Obtained.

6O,OO0,0O0 salmon spawn in the FISH
hatcheries OF this state, exclusive of
the one at Baker Lake, owned and op
Grated by the government. This
hatchery should have secured 10000
oOO spawn by that time, making the
total 100000. This will be the best
year the state has known.
Two Of the hatcheries built by the
fisheries department. during the past
year will not be in operation this sea-
son. They are just being completed
and it will be impossible to fish for
salmon before the spawning season is
over. AT two other hatcheries but
little will be accomplished this year SO
the number that will be in active and
full operation will be twelve. These
are the Skokomish, Nooksack, Kala-
ma, Chinook, Chehalis, Snohomish,
Nisqually, White river, Wind river,
Little Spokane, Samlsh and Willapa
hatcheries.
The output OF the Wenatchee hatch.
cry would have been large this year
but for accidents resulting from floods.
The season was unusually good and
the hatchery employees secured large
number of spawn. 1t appeared that
the Wenatchee hatchery would be
started under the most favorable cir
cumstances, but flood destroyed the
work. The hatchery will have cur
tailed output and is not figured in the
total OF the state.
At the Methow hatchery little can
be done this season. The hatchery
was constructed late in the year and
could not he gotten 10 work i'll time.
The hatchery will have a small num-
ber of spawn. Indians destroyed a
large number of fish in the stream
and injured the hatchery prospects.
No attempt will be made to operate
the Colville and Klickitat hatcheries.
They are being completed at present
and will begin work during the spring
run.
Three hatcheries provided for by the
last legislature will not be built this
year. They are the Dungeness, Skagit
and Stillaguamish hatcheries. There
is possibility that the last named
may be constructed, but the fund re-
ceived from licenses and from which
the hatcheries must be constructed is
not sufficient for the purposes, There
is possibility that all could be Grip
pied.
The last legislature provided for the
construction of sixteen new hatchereis
during the years 1899 and 1900
They were to be built from the fund
raised by fishing licenses. The same
fund was to maintain and operate the
the hatcheries and it has been found
impossible to complete all the work
outlined. The estimate of the fish
commissioner of the amount to be re-
ceived during the two years was too
large.
1t is possible the output at tht
Nooksack hatchery this year will reacl
100000 fry. A letter received from
the superintendent o. that hatchery
shsws 10,500,O00 spawn have already
been obtained and it Is probable tht
rest can be gained this month. Th,
Skokomish hatchery has about 5000,
GOO spawn. At number of the hatch
cries most Of the fishing will be done
during the present month.-Ledger.
