The Two Step.

There seems to be somewhat of con- troversy. ss to correct position in dancing the Two Step CT Denx Temps as it is sometimes called. Dancing masters allow either the waltz position or the side position in academy and in- formal dancing but the dancing pro- fession generally make strong opposi- ton to the side position if dancers are in full evening dress. Especially is the side position considered inielicate if the lady is dressed decollette and the gentlemsn's arm held close to the lady las in the side positionl on the lire of dress and bosom. The sncing pro- fession do not make any laws that can be used to govern dencing people. Neither do they invent any of the freak fsds introduced to the ball room by people who desire to be different"

FOOT BALL TOMORROW.
1t Is the Refined Winter Field Sport
And You Should be There.

| Some person, for certainly no good
reason, has circulated the report that
there will be no football match to-
morrow. The Ohieftain bases It's as
sertion that there will be game
with touch-downs, scrimmages, inter-
ferences, attempts at goal kicking,
and all that, upon kilograms received
last night that both teams will be
here. It's bound TO be interesting.
The Tulsa boys are husky and the
team have an almost impregnable,
back SO it is said. The Tahlequah
boys are noted for their tieetness
and superior tackling.
These terms may frighten the timid
and, while football today is rough
game, none are permitted to enter the
contest unless they be thorough ath-
letes. AS the insensate game OF ten
mis- or golf is the summer field sport
Of society, so football is the "proper
fall and winter sport"
In the east the ladies are the great
est patrons Of the game. 1t is the
real thing to wave hankerchicfs and
applaud the daring moves OF favor
ite as he makes rush through center
or runs around the line gaining yard
or more with the pigskin by his Prov
ess, though 1t costs him a yard OF
cuticle, broken shinbone or a black
ened optic.
Football is certainly ''it," ladies,
and as it is the recherche sport you
must surely attend the contest to-
morrow at $3.50 and look happy even
II it is cold. Its the proper thing and
we can assure you that all the players
are gentlemen and no word will pos
sibly be spoken that will wound
your feelings.

Col. Pliny L. Soper's statehood
plan would be all right from re-
publican standpoint if it was not
for one thing. Soper figures the
territory without the Choctaw and
Chickasaw nations as being solidly
republican. The northern district
is as solidly democratic as is Mis-
souri, or Arkansas, and will so
demonstrate it the very first elec-
ton.

JUST as soon rs a body of starving
Porto Ricans made a two days march,
without food, to San Juan, TO beg for
work that they might earn their bread,
the promise was given them that the
work should he started next day. But
before they can earn enough money to
feed their families there must he much
suffering among them and probably
some of them will starve to death. The
question forces itself forward: Why
was not the condition of these people
known and practical means of relief
afforded them in time to avert all this
suffering? The gratuitOus relief granted
them after the hurricane was stopped
some time ago. Why were they not
put in u position to care for themselves
then?

ANOTHER Monaghan invasion seems
to be threatened i'm this section and in
Whatcon county. The close of the
fishing season OH the Fraser river has
thrown several thousand japanese out
of employment, and the situation is
further rendered unfavOrable for them
i'm British Columbia by the recent ac-
ton of the provincial legislature in
passing All act prohibiting the employ
ment of Asiatics upon public works.
Accordingly hundreds of japanese are
now seeking entry into the United
States. With the small force Of officers
stationed in this county it is impossible
to guard more than limited extent Of
the coast line, and it is probable that a
good many japanese succeed in evad-
ing the officers and entering the county
bv boats from the Fraser river, and a
good many get in across the Whatcom
county line. Any information relative
to the landing of any of them in this
county will be greatly appreciated 10y
the officers and will help to serve as a
check upon species of labor competi-
ton that our own workingmen cannot
reasonably be expected to look upon
with cOmplacency.

THE Standard Oil Company, which
is the greatest of all the trusts because
it has greater monopoly than any
other, is declaring dividends this year
at the rate Of AS per cent on its $780,
100000 of common stock. The state
ment is enough to set one thinking. If
successful trust can make money at
this rate, what limit can be put to its
power of extension and extortion? For
tunately for the people, however, there
are few trusts SO advantageOusly stu
ated as the Standard. In the business
of some other trusts there is, or may be,
a chance for competitions; but the
Standard has the oil fields of the coun-
try so completely at its mercy that
there is small opportunity for success
full competition with it OIL any scale
that Will benefit the public. Yet even
it may be overcome some day.

The condition of things in Cuba can
notbe so very bad when immigrants
from Spain flock to the island at the
rate at which they are said to he going
now. 1t is reported that no less than
10000 Spaniards have removed to Cuba
since the island passed out of Spanish
control, and, as the people Of the hum
bier classes in Spain are VIGOROUSLY
poor, it is probable that this number
would be increased many fold if the
means of emigration were at hand.
This is demonstration that tells more
than volumes of argument whether or
not Cuba has benefited by release from
Spanish rule.

Condition of Agriculture.

Is@agriculture, as whole, all indus
try that is going backward? This
question is pertinent, for nowadays
there is much said about "the ruina-
ton of agriculture" Is the total wealth
of the farmer decreasing? Is his annual
production valued lower, and does it
represent less profit, each year? If we
are to believe the individual complain
ant, the answer to these queries is
eyes" If we are to believe tile statisti-
clans, who base their compilations OH
crop returns, OH market movements
and values, and on assessed valuations,
the answer is mo" In Il recent pub
LEGATION by ex-Secretary of Agriculture
J. Sterling Morton, for example,. he
points out that in the years between
1895 and 1899 the annual value Of the
farmers principal crops increased as
follows: Corn from S544, 1888, 534 to
1929 ,2l0, 10, or Is per cent; wheat from
S237 1888 1888 to $3l9,545, 269, or 81 per
cent; oats from Sl63 $50, O6S to $l9S, 1857,
975, or lG per cent; cotton from $3.50,
33S, 097 to $685., 900 900, or 81 per cent;

or 30 per cent: flax from $4,000, 900 TO

failure or success. but by its trend as a
Whole. In farming there are failures,
and IT is mainly the failed ones who
complain. Beyond doubt farming in
this country is undergoing a radical
revolution, q reorganization, a re,idjust-
ment. Farms are dividing into two
classes, those that pay and those that
do not pay. The farms that pay arc
mainly operated by men who are keep
ing up With the revolution in their
field of work. Those that do not pay
are ma lily operated by men who pre-
fer the old ways TO the new ones. The
use of machinery, the application of
Fertilizers Oh 4 scientific plan and the
adoption of the high grade in stock,
fruits, cereals and vegetables have
combined to advance farming 10 new
plane, and the men who have kept
pace with the advance are not the n.en
