PLAINS ITEMS.

Threshing is on in full blast and wheat is
turning out better than was expected.
During the last week there have been the
following cars of wheat shipped: A. v. An
CELL, 8; Ball & Son, 2; ]. NJ. Graham 1.
S. o. Ball had 90 acres uf wheat that made
IS bushels per acre. His entire crop was
Io47 bushels-pretty good for drouthy Kan
Sas.
We estimate the wheat yield in a radius of
miles of town at 1900 bushels, or 500
bushels for every voter in the township.
1t won't be many years until the banks will
be wanting to make loans to the prosperous
farmers and the cattle outfits will be little

The Meade City Band played at the sta

HIS PROPHECY CAME TRUE.
VerihcatfOn of a Harvard Professor's
Prediction as to Our Present
Population.

Edward Wgglesworth. Hollis pro-
fessor of divinity at Cambridge" in
little pamphlet published in the por-
tentous year of 1875. must have had
correct idea of the prosperity of this
country during the century just closed.
as he predicted that the population of
the British American colonies" in
1860 would be S0,oo0,ooo, says the Ma
tional Magazine.
included in this estimate was Nova
Scotia. now the Dominion of Canada,
which with its last recorded census re-
suit of 4.S000oO added to the 76,t0o.C00
of the United States fulfills almost to
Che letter the accuracy of the Wiggles-
worth prophecy. And this somewhat
remarkable forecast was not based
upon any species of guess work. bui
upon a well defined and clearly con-
structed mathematical theory, which.
reduced to plain words. can be best de-
scribed in the language of its authors;
The British Americans have dou-
bled their numbers in every period OF
25 years from their first plantation"
Taking this statistical fact as basis
for his calculations the Harvard diyim-
ny professor constructed a system of
reckoning the increase of country's
population which history has shown to
be as correct as his method was simple.
Assuming that the 1875 population
was 2,500,o00, Mr.. Wigglesworth esti-
mated 5G00,000 for 1900, 100000 for
1925 20.000.000 for 1880 10000 600 for
1875 and s0Goo,oo0 for 1900, and the
record Of the United States census
since its initial taking in 1890 shows
substantially these figures. as follows:
Census of 1900. 5,30S,o00; 1925 GS20)
9.6330o0; 1850, 23,191,000 1875 0s70) .

WEAVE WITH SHUTTLES.
Ants In CsyLoH That Have - Queer
Way OF Fastening Leaves
Together.

Mr.. E. G. Green, government ento-
mologist at the botanic gardens at
Peradenlya, Ceylon, tells most GU
rious story about the red ant (Oeco-
phila smaragdina), says the Little
Chronicle. Desiring to confirm the
reported web-spinning habits of these
ants, he separated some leaves that
had been recently fastened together
by them. The ants quickly drew the
edges of the leaves together and in
about an hour afterwards he noticed
that small white grubs were being
passed backwards and forwards across
the gaps. Two ants held each a grub
in its mouth and directed its move
ments as required, while from the
mouth of the larya a continuous
thread of silk proceeded and was used
to repair the damage-the larvae were
actually used as spinning machines.
There were no larvae in the disturbed
Enclosure. They were most likely OBJ
tanned from a nest a short distance
away, and this no doubt accounts for
the length of time passed before the
rent was repaired.

OUR NATIONAL CAPITAL.
Unpleasant Con dition of Washing ton
UD to the Opening of the
Civil War.

When Washington last beheld the
city which bears his name, shortly be-
fore his death in 1893, it was strag-
Cling settlement in the woods, almost
wholly devoid of streets, with 30 or 40.
residences-most of these small and
uncomforta ble-and an unfinished
capitol and presidents house. Indeed.
Washington long remained sparsely
built, unsiehtly city and a comfortable
place of residence. For more than a
generation its growth in population
was less than 600 a year-a rate of in
crease that would now put to shame
almost any village in the land; and so
late as 1910 De Bacourt, the French
minister, could write that Washington
was neither city nor village, nor
the country" but "a building yard
placed in a desolate spot, wherein liv-
ing is unbearable."
The opening of the civil war found it
a dirty, struggling, unkempt town
The water supply came from pumps
and springs; there were neither street
cars nor paved streets; no fire depart
ment, no police force, worthy of the
name, and not a sewer in the city.
Eastern bluffs lined the river bank; ;
stables and wooden fences surrounded
the white house; the present depart
ments were not half finished. and the
parks and commons were given mp TO
weeds. But all this was changed by
the struggle of the union, which doub-
led the population Of Washington and
brought in freedom and northern en-
terprise. but more important still. by
a thousand moving and glorious asso-
Citations, endeared the capital to the
people of the whole country. Then
came its remalling by Shepherd and his
associates. Now il is truly an imperial
city, and the Judgment of Washington
and the genius of L Enfant have been
vindicated.

FAT ENGINEERS BARRED.
Only Slim Mem May Run Locomotives
on the baltimore q Ohio
Railway.

Firemen on the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad have suddenly become great
~ interested in looking up diets for
people who wish to reduce their
flesh:
It's all on account of n recent deci-
sion of the officials of the Baltimore
d Ohio that hereafter no man weigh
ing more than $50 pounds shall be
eligible to promotion as an engineer
on the Royal Blue line. BY some pc
culiar pro, ision of nature it has come
to be a fact that almost all firemen
are fat, and as all firemen hope some
day to be engineers, their present dis
tress of mind may be readily i'm
agined.
The whole trouble rests with the
crowded cab quarters of the latest
type of engine. On its fast lines the
Baltimore & Ohio uses an immense
type of locomotive, with driving
wheels rs inches in diameter. This
seems to necessitate extending the
boiler back through the cab to the
tender. That leaves a space of only
II inches between the boiler and the
wall of the cab. Into this narrow
space the engineer has to squeeze
himself and sit through his hours of
vigil while flying along the track at
a 60 or 75-mile-an-hour clip.
Naturally. no man who is wider
than IA inches at his widest part can
occupy the engineers seat, and hence
this latest order. The cabs cannot be
widened because they would strike
trains on the opposite track.

CHINESE SMUGGLED IN.

discoveries have just been made which
are believed to establish conclusively that
wholesale smuggling of Chinese from Brit
ism Columbia into the United States
through Santa Barbara has been carried
on The revenue officials We're notified sew
erai weeks ago of it, and the revenue cutter
McCuiloch has been cruising In the wa
tiers of Santa Barbara channel searching
Tor evidence. The smuggling scheme Is
outlined as follows:
Lumber-laden vessels leave Puget sound
Tor southern California points and after
getting wei out to sea run over TO Vancou-
Yer, r. e, and pick up Chinese which are
ostensibiy shipped as part of the crew,
Some OF these vessels put into Port Har-
ford, San Pedro, and other ports with crews
more than twice as large as necessary
When sailing for the north the crews con-
sist almost exclusively of white sailors
Another method adopted is the landing
OF Chinese on one of the islands in the
channel and they are brought to Santa
Barbara as fishermen. The officers on the
revenue cutter have been placed in pos
session of important information by the
local officers and are now following up
clews furnished by the secret service
agents. 1t is said that the evidence OBJ
