A Glimpse Of Chicago

in this city a peculiar but magniff.
cent structure, consecrated to the
use of the established church of Rus
STA. AT its dedication there ofticiated J
no less a parsonage than Bishop Tiki
hon, whose official church duties
call him from the far Aleutian is-
lands, stretching across the North
Pacific, from the Alaska peninsula to
New York city. His title is indca-
tive of the extent of the diocese oven
which he reigns as the spiritual head,
it being Bishop of the Aleutian is
lands, Alaska and the United States.
The official residence was formerly
located at Sitka, and his duties con-
fined him almost exclusively to the
scattered towns of that territory,
where the church gained foothold
during the Russian occupancy. Now,
however, it has been, removed to San
Francisco, and his duties take him
into every large city of this coun-
try. y
The church recently dedicated in
Chicago was erected at cost Of $45,-
900, a part of which expense was
borne by the czar. 1t is of stone and
concrete, and fine example of Russ
sian-Byzantine architecture. 1t is the
only Russian orthodox church in tho
city, and has a membership of 600.

This year the raise in prices has

The result is there is an unusual
amount of searching for new quar-.

Landlords are not only raising

barred has become so large that the
city council has taken the subject
in hand and threaten to make laws
that will make it a misdemeanor to

Yet as it stands the carnation is the most useful of

CUT UP YOUR LANDS.

There is good land in Randall
county for sale, plenty OF it, and
at a very reasonable price but the
present owners refuse to cut it up
in parcels small enough to suit the
average prospectorS from the north
east-the farmer. Not many days
since man who had sold his proper
ty at Clarendon, was here and ex-
pressed his intention to purchase
80 or 100 acres within three miles OF
town. He remained two days, found
several sections that suited him in
quality and price but no one would
sell him the amount he wanted.
He even offered to take as much
as 800 acres, but it was section
or more, or nothing so he returned
to Clarendon and purchased 100
acres near his old home. This is
only one of several instances that
have come to the knowledge of the
News. This condition of affairs
must change if we desire to settle
up the country and the sooner the
change is brought about the better
for us. Smaller parcels and more
homes. On this line the News
quotes from the Hale Center Mes
senger as follows.
All this country needs to make

the man who will apply well known
scientific principles to the cultivat-
ion of the soil, one of which is to
give a crop a reasonable amount

the plains to plant crop and then
wait for the harvest. With the
proper cultivation this country is
as safe farming country as any
part of West Texas. What this
country needs is an immigration
of farmers who will farm the farms.

large tracts of land but men who
will buy small tracts. If all the

enthusiastic prohibitioniSt, but
nevertheless agrees with Paul that

sake" went to a friend of his, whom
he believed had some whiskey and
said to him. "Look here friend-,

little snifter would be just what

His friend protested that he would
not, but the deacon insisted, and
finally his friend said, deacon,
aint going to let you have it, be-
cause you'd tell it on me in spite
of the world" But the deacon
loudly protested that wild horses
would not drag it out of him. AT
last his friend winked at his assist
ant, who quietly slipped out side,
and said "All right l'll give it to
you" and he reached back and got

heard out side and he said, "Here

de.

For the purpose of enlarging
the Public's knowledge of the
true conditions holding in North
west Texas-(The Panhandle)-
"The Denver Road" has put in
effect round-trip party home
seekers rates to points along its
line. These rates are upon a
basis of one fare for the round
trip for parties OF five or more
persons travelling together on
one ticket, and carry the privi-
lege Of stop-overs at pleasure at
all points North of and includ-
ing Vernon, Texas; passengers
being allowed d limit of 30 days
in which to return.
In view of the fact that the
Panhandle is enjoying the most
rapid growth of any section of
Texas, for which there is ample
reason, this move upon the part
of "The Denver Road" is wise
one aud will doubtless result in
the splendid agricultural and
business opportunities of that
section becoming better known
and appreciated within very
short period of time. This sec
tion of Texas abounds in re-
sources and the land, being still
available at very low prices, is
now being rapidly taken up.
