COLONY FOR WASHINGTON.
Move to Transplant Southern Negroes
to the Northwest.

Tacoma, Washington, April 26.-An
Afro-American colony which Is expect
ed to number $1,000 souls has been es-
tabIished by Samuel Burdette, IN
Klickitat county, along Columbia river
Four years ago he organized a fratef-
nal benefit insurance society called the
International Council OF the World
which has taken the initiative In the
colonization project. A large tract IN
kIickitat county has been surveyed
and Burdette expects the colony TO
occuDy at Least seven townships. II Is
Government land and each settler is
expected to take homestead. Seeds
are Icing obtained from the Govern
rnent land and each settler Is expected
IN take q homestead. Seeds are being
obtained from the Cove rnment and the
first crop will be planted this spring.
Mr.. Rurdette explains his project as
follows:
We simply want to establish n COM
munity where US colored folks can live,
where we can make our homes an turn
out useful and good citizens. l sent
out circular letters all over the South
explaining the scheme and / got l1,ooO
answers. Down South they have got
fUlCTcu " tii'J $500 -
therE Over here We want to make a
place for them, where they can I've ana
he good If they're not good we won't
burn them, but Wen slap them IN JAN
and give them fair trial.
THE South Is suffering from an over
production Of cOlored folks, just like IN
Arkansar they suffer from an oVerpro-
duction Of hogs. Now, down there
when they have too many hogs they
sust herd them together. tie knots in
their tails and shut them up in a field.
The ones that crawl through the fenc"
they let &c. The ones that get caught
by the knots in their tails they keep.
Now, they can't do that with the black
man. 50 We are going to make a place
for him in Washington.
Most Of the settlers will come from
Missouri, Tennessee and North Caro-
lima. We won't have any shiftlesS,
good for things. Any man to come
must show us that he is able to sustain
himself for six months. Ii he can't We
don't want him: If he can keep him.
self that long the Washington soil will
do the rest.
We are going to locate our town this
summer. but don't expect it will
amount to much before next year. The
big immigration won't begin for year
or So We will have street cars, cleo.
trio lights and everything that goes to
make n first-class town. We will work
up Il commerce with other parts of the
State and we intend to be Il valuable
section of the commonwealth.
We have tho Northern Pacific on one
side l. miles away and the O., II. & n.
on the other seven miles away. In
time the railroad is bound to come
right through our section. but until
then We will have a stage line. l have
been working at this for the past
twelve years and now its bound to go.
1t is no wildcat scheme. The cOlored
people of the South are oppressed.
Their" IL no place for them and we want
to give them u chance in Washington"

A BEAUTIFUL Calendar.

One of the last OF the 1904 calendars
to arrive, put one we'll worth waiting
for, is that Of the American Arithmo-
meter Company, st. Louis. On the
calendar, appears the head OF a beauti-

OF dark green surrounds the head max

calendar is one of the most artistic Of
the seasons offerings in this line. and
will he greatly appreciated by all who
are so fortunate as to secure copy.

Masterpieces of Fiction that Were

of Literature.

The publication of George Gissing's VA
ranilda" gives us masterpiece that its
author did not live to finish. That we'll
known critic, Frederic Harrison, considers
this tale OF the Roman and the Goth the
deceased writer's finest work, and though
many may question this judgment there
can exist but universal regret that the
romance must forever remain incomplete
A greater work by greater writer. "Weir
of Hermiston." by r. L. Stevenson, was
left a mere fragment, OF which the lurid
grandeur proved that it's creator was taken
from us in the zenith of his power. An
other romance, "St. Ives" by the same
pen. was running in a monthly magazine
at the time of his premature death Here,
however. readers were not baked of a
satisfactory denouement. for the story was
brought to conclusion by Mr.. Quiller-
Couch. well known under the none de
plume of o."

Hawthorne with reference TO "The Dolli-
yer Romance which he had undertaken
to write for the Atlantic Monthly This
foreboding was soon verified, for tho author
had scarce time to do more than lay the
groundwork of the story and write the ini-
tial chapters ere death struck him down.
At his funeral at Concord the scarcely
commenced manuscript lay upon his coffin

Three parts and a portion Of the fourth
were all that appeared. and the story, "
wrote the editor, breaks on as his life
ended-full Of vigor and blooming with new
promise like the apple trees in the month
Of May" With the fourth part was
given a set OF notes, taken from Thacke-
rays own papers, elucidatory Of the sub
sequent development of the plot
Thackerays great contemporary, Charles
Dickens, died, too, in harness. For long
his health had been but Indifferent, but
he stuck unfinchingly to the work he had
In hand. On June s, 1870, the end came.
The morning and part OF the afternoon Of
that day were devoted to completing the
sixth number of The Mystery Of Edwin
Brood" but scarcely had he finished work
and sat down to dinner ere he was seized
with a fit. From this he never recovered.
