of the growing strength of the demand
for the direct election of senator's by
the people, and presages a possible
surrender on the part of other sena-

houses in Seattle, Tacoma, Portland,
and other points along the coast have
to bring carloads of hogs all the way
from Kansas City and South Omaha,
also Denver. The Frye-Bruhn plant
in Seattle receives several carloads
from Kansas City every week, the
number often reaching ten carloads.
Why should the farmers of the
northwest permit these conditions to
exist when they have it in their hands
to remedy the evil? Dairying is given
very much attention, and so is poultry.
Why not pay as much and as thor
ough attention to hog raising and help
keep in the state thousands of dollars
annually that now go to swell the cof-
fers of the big hog feeders in the mid
die states? With dairying on the farm
the raising of pigs becomes a simpli-
fed problem and will pay handsomely
if gone at right and persisted in.

Farmers Throwing Away Money.

This paper has always urged that
the farmers of the Pacific northwest
should raise more hogs and finish them
off in better shape for the market. We
reiterate that the farmer who makes
it business to raise hogs and gives
them good care will always make some
good money. All conditions here are
favorable for the industry, with the
only exception that corn will not ma
ture sufficiently to carry the fattening
quality that corn does in the corn belt.
In place of corn, however, the farmer
of the northwest can raise alfalfa,
peas, and variety of other stuff that
will prove excellent for the making OF
fine pork. The demand for pork is
insistent and to meet 1t the packing

THE EDITORS PARADISE.
BY Daniel L. Pratt

An editor, the story runs,
Who'd seen life's bitter side,
One day grew tired of struggling on
And just laid down and died.
He wasn't of the common sort
Who versify and swear;
So they sent an angel down to guide
Him up the golden stair.
With all your tribulations, sir,
You have done wondrouS well"
Remarked the angel, "and we'll take
A short stop-off in hell.
And also look below,
And see the realms where most of your
Contemporaries co.
They smelled a horrid smell
And knew that they were coming to
The open lid of hell
They donned asbestos clothing then.
And ventured through the gates;
And there saw quondam mortals meeting
Various kinds of fates
They wandered round, and suddenly
The scribe was cured of blues;
He read a sign: Subscribers Here
Who Did Not Pay their Dues"
Pull up right here" he told the saint,
With an ecstatic look.
II think I'll just camp here a while
And watch these Williams cook"
For, many an old delinquent from
His mailing list was there,
And joyfully for hours he watched
Them wrthe and roast and swear.
The angel finally rose up
And beckoned him away.
Come on" he said "or else we wont
Reach Paradise today"
The editor moved not a step.
Not on your life," quoth he.
Just go your way and leave me. This
Is heaven enough for me-"

Deafness Cannot be Cured

perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result and unless
the Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal condit-
ion, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by

The Influx Into Canada.

There has been a marked influx OF
people from the United States into
Canada during the past two years or
so. That the movement will continue
for an indefinite period is foregone
conclusion. The amount of free land
in the United States is steadily grow
ing less, while there yet remain large
bodies of highly fertile free lands, or
lan:s sold at low figure, in Canada.
This is particularly the case with Al
berta and adjacent sections. Lands
here are rich and susceptible to irri-
cation. and the climate is mild and
equable, not unlike the climate in
Northern Washington. AS to how
long the movement of people of the
United States into Canada will con-
tinue, Herbert Myrick, president of
the Orange Judd Co., publishers of
three agricultural journals in the east,
has this to say, after making a trip
into the Canadian regions:
"This is the question l am always
asked In reply have said that Amer
leans will continue to come to Canada
in increasing numbers for some years.
| think that you may expect as many
as $50 900 in single year, but do not
believe that the total will ever exceed
that number l met many Americans
during my trip. They say that it is not
necessary to tell all the truth about
Canada to secure the immigration of
Americans to Canada, and it certainly
is not necessary to exaggerate.

cific irrigation project in Alberta |

most rational in America. This enor-
nous ditch has been constructed with
such economy, and the intake water
is obtained so economically that this

land on this continent. The annual
cost of water for irrigation. $50 cents

prevails elsewhere. | was through the
irrigated sections of Colorado. There
such land is valued at from 500 to
$500 per acre; in the Yakima valley, in

ton is worth up to $4,000 per acre. 1t
is difficult to say in advance just what
this Calgary land may be worth. AS
beet sugar expert was anxious to see
a test made on the Calgary plains of
beet sugar raising, for which this area
seems well adapted. AS already an

ing over the district with view to the

natural advantages, this irrigation
scheme insures to the city of Calgary

Treating Wrong Disease.

Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine,
one from dyspepsia, another from heart
disease, another from liver or kidney
disease, another from nervous exhaustion
or prostration, another with pain here and
there, and in this way they all present
alike to themselves and their easy-going
and Indifferent, or oyer-busy doctor, sep
arate and distinct diseases, for which he,
assuming them to be such, prescribes his
pills and potions. In reality, they are all
only symptoms caused by some uterine
disease. The physician, ignorant Of the
cause OF suffering, encourages this prac-
tice until large bills are made. The suf-
fering patient gets no better but probably
worse, by reason Of the delay, wrong
treatment and consequent complications.
A proper medicine like DR.. Pierce's Fa-
Vorite Prescription, directed 10 the cause
would have entirely removed the disease,
thereby dispelling all those distressing
symptoms, and insttuting comfort in
stead of prolonged misery. 1t has been
well said, that" "a disease known is half

UNCONSCIOUS POISONING.
How 1t Often Happens From Coffee


81 had no idea,' writes a Duluth
man, that it was the coffee l had
been drinking all my life that was
responsible for the headaches which
were growing upon me, for the dyspep-

and for the acute nervousness which
untitled me not only for work but also
for the most ordinary social functions.
But at last the truth dawned upon
me l forthwith bade the harmful bev-
erage a prompt farewell, ordered in
some Postum and began to use it. The
good effects of the new food drink
were apparent within a very few days.
My headaches grew less frequent,

Decline of Rural Foundations.

Twenty-one of the sixty-one counties
of New York had fewer inhabitants by
the census of 1900 than they had by
the census of 1890. These counties,
which include one-half of the area of
the state showing a falling off in ten
years ranging from a few hundred of
inhabitants in some small counties to
several thousand in some of the larger
ones.
Essex county in northern New York,
for instance, declined from $4,000 TO
3G,700 in the ten years. Wayne
county, in western New York, famous
for apples and mint. declined from
49,700 to 4S,6O0.
In fifteen years the population OF
New York has increased twenty-one
per cent, yet one-third of the counties
have fewer inhabitants than they had
fifteen years ago.-New York SUP.
