A Toxic correspondent Of an Ameri-
can weekly has much of interest to
say of japanese toys. Japan is the
original toyland. l really think that
Santa Claus must have a branch es-
adjustment i'll Toxic. There are me-
chanical toys that go about as if they
were alive-tin turtles walking around
on the earthen floor, mice Scampering
under counters and around on the
shelves, huge gorgeously- colored paper
butterflies and dragon-fies buZzing
around in the air. There are no toy
carriages in Japan, because in Japan
there are no real carriages. But there
are toy jinrikishas, which are little
two-wheeled carts pulled by little
brown men under great big mushroom
shaped hats instead of by horses. And
there are toy cages, which are the odd
est kind of grOwn-up cradles, that two
men carry, suspended from long BAN
boo poles, upon their shoulders, and
in which grown-up folks have to sit,
curled up Turk-fashion, until their feet
go to sleep and they are forced to de
mand the privilege of getting down
and walking. These are the carriages
of Japan and, as toys, would probably
puzzle the average little boy or girl al
home"

This Springs Exodus toCanada Greater
than Ever.
1t was thought in 1908, when over
nifty thousand people went from the
United States to Canada, that the limit
or the yearly emigration to the wheat
zone Of the Continent had been reach
Ell. But when in 1894 about as large
a number Of American citizens signi-
ned their intention of becoming set
tiers on Canadian lands, the general
puDnc were prepared for the an
nouncement Of large numbers in 1905.
NO surprise therefore will be caused
when it is made known that the pre-
d1ctions of fully fifty thousand in 1905
are warranted in the fact that the
Spring movement Canadaward is
greater than it has ever been. The
special trains from Omaha, Chicago,
81. Paul, Detroit and other gateways
nave been crowded. Many have gone
TO join friends and relatives who have
prepared homes for them, and others
nave gone relying upon their own re-
sources, satisfied that what others
nave done can also be done by them.
Ihls year much new territory has
Deen opened up by the railroads, which
are extending their main lines and
throwing out branches in their march
across the best grain and grazing
lands on the continent. This new ter
r1tory has attractions for those desiring
TO homestead on the one hundred and
sixty acres granted each settler by the
Canadian Government. Many also
cake advantage Of the opportunity to
purchase lands at the low figures at
which they are now being offered.
1t does not require much thought to
convince one that If Iowa, Illinois,
Minnesota and other lands, with
value of from fifty to one hundred and
fifty dollars an acre, will give a good
living by producing ten to thirteen
bushels Of wheat to the acre and
thirty to fifty bushels Of corn to the
acre, the lands Of Western Canada at
seven to ten dollars an acre, producing
from twenty to thirty bushels of SUI
perior wheat to the acre, should pro-
duce a competence to the ordinary
farmer in very few years. These
are the facts. as they confront the
reader There are millions Of acres Of
such land in Western Canada in addi-
ton to the other millions that are con-
sidered to be portions of the biggest
and best ranges that ever invited the
cattle and horse producer of the North
American continent. What is particu-
larry evident in " estern Canada is the
fact that the wheat lands, adjoining
the grazing lands, make farming par
ticularly agreeable and profitable. The
agents Of the Canadian Government,
who are always willing to give infor-
nation and advice to intending set
tiers, say that the acreage put under
crop this season is greatly in excess of
Last season.

Born in Franklinville, Cattaraugus
County, N. Y, March /, 1900, Daniel
Whipple has had an adventurous ca
reer. At q he went West by way Of
the Great Lakes and Chicago, crossing
the Mississippi on a one-horse ferry.
He tramped over Wyoming, the Da-

and trapping. Some eight years before

fused.
There is sad tragedy in the life Of
the centenarian of which he never
speaks. It occurred when he was a
young man. He fell in love with the
beautiful daughter of homesteader in
the West, and his love was recipro-
Gated. They were engaged to be mar
ried, but shortly before the day of the
wedding, on his return from a hunting
trip, he found the cabin in ruins and
the family killed. With some friends he
found the trail Of Indians. and finally
came up with the band. The girl was
in their possession, and with derisive
taunts the Indians used her for g.
shield. In fear that they would kill
the girl if attacked, the frontiersmen
held their fire, only to have the In
dams lay the girl on the ground and
then drive a stake through her breast.
Crazed with grief, Whipple and his
companions made an attack, only to be
captured. They subsequently made
their escape, and from that day on
Whipple was the Indians most i'm
placable foe.
Whipple's grandfather, who was a
revolutionary veteran, lived to be 1873

of 1912, lived to be 113.

A ROYAL SUMMONS.

SN~~N"SSC~~~S~~~O
When the Queen Of Roumania was
visiting England, Helene Vacaresco,
one Of her maids of honor, had the
pleasure of receiving the Princess of
Wales in her own apartments. The
princess went there to examine some
Of the ROumanian costumes the lady
had worn, and to talk about the GUS
tome of Roumania. She had just en-
tered upon a description of Abergeldie,
her own Highland home, when there
was knock at the door.
Miss Vacaresco hurried to open it,
to prevent the invasion Of any intruder
who would end her precious interview
with the princess. A footman was
there and she addressed him hurriedly,
lest he should speak.
Hush! The Princess of Wales is
here. | must attend to her royal high
ness. Any message you have to de-
liver must wait"
The fOOtman was undaunted.

to go to her Immediately
"Oh, see! Then kindly tell her
majesty that I cannot obey her for the
moment, as the Princess of Wales is
giving me the honor of her presence
in my room.
The footman stood perplexed. Then
he made movement to retire, and
the Princess Of Wales stepped for

US, at least, there is but one queen
here, the Queen of England, and she
can brook neither delay nor excuse.
So run quickly"
The footman had retired, and she
added:
"Oh, do not give him time to fore
stall you! Can you change your stately
court step into a good run? Here,

They clasped hands and fed like

is fixed by the Commission it cannot
be lowered by railroad. Should an
emergency arise calling for a decreased

ANOTHER VICTIM
Of SNAKE RIVER
Homer Wicks Drowned at Pene-
wawa Wednesday Evening
While Swimming.

Homer Wicks, youngest son of the
late j. r. Wicks, is the latest victim
of the treacherous undertows and cross
currents of the Snake, he having lost
his life while in swimming near Pene-
wawa Wednesday evening. The young
man had been out hunting for cattle
along the river bluffs, and was seen
by parties on the opposite bank late
in the afternoon to undress and go in
swimming. Considerably later his
horse was seen to be still grazing along
the river bank, and an alarm was Civ
en-. Thursday morning the body was
found in an eddy below where he had
been swimming. The river is not es-
pecially bad at the point where the ac-
cident occurred, but it is probable that
the swimmer was seized by cramps,
and so unable to help himself.
The drowning is peculiarly sad as j.
r. Wicks, father of the deceased, died
but a short time ago, and this makes
two deaths in the family in less than
a month. Homer Wicks was the
youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. j. r.
Wicks, pioneer settlers of this county,
and the young man was born and
reared in Whitman county, where he
had host of friends. He was a mem
ber of the firm of j. r. Wicks & Sons,
owners of the Onecho herd of thorough
bred Hereford cattle which won the
capital prize at the Evansville stock
show July A, the day that Mr., Wicks,
senior, died. Homer was 27 years
old and single.

MILL COMPANY PROTESTS.

A protest against the railroad rates
made to discriminate in favor of Spo-
kane has been made to the railroad
commission by the Pullman Milling
Company. A long letter setting out
that rates from Spokane to Pullman
are much less than from Pullman to
Spokane, thus giving Spokane an un-
fair advantage over Pullman in the
same line of business, has been sent to
the railroad commission.
A direct instance is cited The
Pullman company sent mill rolls to
Spokane for repair. The freight rate
was "A cents per hundred weight from
Pullman to Spokane, and but 20 cents
from Spokane back to Pullman. "Spo-
kane mills get rate on flour here of
half what we pay on flour shipped to
Spokane, complains the Pullman
Milling company.
Following the usual custom the COM
mission has sent a copy of the com
plant to the railroad for an explana-
tion of the rates complained of.

CITY LAW MAKERS
IN REGULAR SESSION
Bills for Macadam Work, West of
Town, to Amount of $640
Allowed.

The main item of interest before
the city council Thursday night was
the auditing and allowing of the bills
for the macadamizing of Wawawai
street from West Main to the city
limits, the work having been complet-
ed during the week. The total cost
of the work, which was done by day
labor, was $780, or 81. 35 per running
yard. The crushed rock was put on
the street to a width of 16 feet, and
from six to eight inches in depth, we'll
rolled down, and makes an excellent
road bed, and completes the macadam
road for about two miles west. This
stretch of road has always been one
of the worst approaches to the city,
being almost impossible during the
muddy season to loaded wagons. The
rock is now to be covered with a thin
coating of straw, which soon breaks
up, filling all uneven places, making
smooth road free from dust. The
application of residents on Sunnyside
for PERMISSION to put straw on West
Main street was referred to the street
committee, which committee will in
vestigate and act.
The ordinance which had been read
and discussed at previous meetings,
providing that application must be
made to the council for permission to
build, move, make material alterations
or repairs in buildings within the city
limits, was up for final passage, but
was killed bysaa three to two vote,
Councilmen Priest and Baker casting
the votes recorded in its favor.
The street committee was instruct
ed to have the proper specifications
for the macadamizing of the business
streets drawn and all of the prelimi-
nary red tape gotten out of the way
so that the council at its next meeting
can get the work started. 1t has not
yet been decided whether the work
will be done by contract, or by day
labor. In the latter event competent
superintendent will be employed to
oversee the job.
The petition of certain residents in
campus park addition, where the pres
sure from the city water system is in
adequate, for permission to lay main
and connect with the college system,
was granted.
2 The initial steps toward the con-
struction of 12-foot walk along Grand
street were taken, the grades to be
established where the notes on the
original grade were missing, and the
walk to be built on a uniform grade.
