Up.

A proposed north and south rail-
way line, in addition to the contem-
plated line of the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul, which will traverse
the country from east to west, that
section of Douglas county known as
the Moses Lake district is now at
tracing great deal of attention
from prospective settlers and home
steaders. Thomas J. Church, of
Church & Co.. has just returned from
a live days trip through thar sec
tion and reports great activity ia
farming properties
For many years this country has
lain idle and a great part of it has
been devoted to range purposes
Even now many bands of horses
roam through the coulees and bot
toms in the district lying between
the Columbia river and Moses lake
The proposed new transportation fa-
cilities have given the lands a new
interest, however, and in addition to
settlers and homesteaders many we'll
to-do farmers of Lincoln county are
now selling their farms and moving
into Douglas county. They are able
to obtain land in Douglas at so much
less than they receive for their pres
ent holdings that the difference rep
resents a handsome cash profit for
the work they have done in estab-
fishing the farms they are vacating.
In addition to presenting sprena,d
opportunities for diversified farming
the Douglas coutny lands are adapted
for wheat and produce large crops
of cereals. Most of the Moses lake
district can be easily irrigated from
the lake and properly handled will
produce great results. For all of
these reasons prices have gone way
up and the railroad companys will
only sell to : bona fide settlers, no
land being for. sale to Spectators. In
addition to the irrigation possibilities
furnished by Moses lake, wells driven
on various farms have furnished
plenty of water to irrigate from eight
to ten acres each.-Seattle Times.

A SCARLET FEVER CURE.
Big Success Claimed for Remedy
by DIR. Luhan.

A new treatment for scarlet fever
which, he says, has had long series
of victories and no failures in its strug-
giles with the disease for nearly eight
years, is now offered as free sclen-
tifc contribution to the medical profes-
sion by DR.. J. f. G.. Luhan, of East
Seyenty-second street, n. Y. Noticing
that most deaths from the disease
were the result Of paralysis Of the
heart, he devised a treatment for the
blood and for the kidneys which pre-
vents anaemia-or destruction of the
red blood corpuscles-and also prevents
kidney complications.
The physician in speaking Of his
treatment, said:
GAS to my treatment. The germs OF
scarlet fever diminish the red blood
corpuscles. Anaemia next sets in
through the poverty Of the blood, and
paralysis of the heart follows. My
treatment is curative and eliminative.
In the first four days Of the disease,

in the red blood without impairing
the function of the kidneys. The

which have been destroyed by the dis

blood. Often these dead corpuscles
cause congestion in the interior mech

oman, prince and governor of Harrar,
Abyssinia. Upon arrival in this coun-
try the zebra was taken to Washing
ton in a steam-heated express car, and
was placed in the Government ante
lope house adjoining the cage occupied
by Dan, the first Grevy zebra to reach
the United States. The new arrival is
a young animal and is well and stock

whole of Europe in a fright, and start

Government, which had at that time

Ras Makonen is great friend and ad-
mirer of Consul General Skinner, by

The experiments which the Bureau
Of animal industry will soon conduct
with the aid of this zebra may stand
forth as among the most important OF
modern times. Certain English lnVes-

monstrated that the hybrid offspring

THE CARPENTERS SQUARE.
History of Its invention and Manu-.

Carpenters who use the common
steel square, a very necessary ad-
iunct to their trade, perhaps give lit
tie thought to how, when and where
this article was first produced. While
there are millions Of squares manu-
factured and used annually, all over
the world, when the nineteenth cen
tury was born there was not one in ex-
istence.
One dull, rainy day, Siler Howes, a
poor Vermont blacksmith, who lived in
South Shaftsbury, was called upon by
a peddler of tinware to shoe horse.
These peddlers travelled up and down
the country calling at every farm
house. buying everything in the way OF
barter. This one had a number of
worn out steel saws that he had picked
up at various places. Howes bargain
ed for them, shoeing the peddler's
horse and receiving the saws in pay
ment, and each thought he had an ex-
cellent trade.
The blacksmith's idea was to polish
and weld two saws together, at right
angles thus making a rule or measure
superior to anything then in use. After
a few attempts he succeeded in making
a square, marked it off into inches and
fractions of inches and found that 1t
answered every purpose that he IN
tended it for.
In the course of a few weeks during
his spare hours he made a number OF
these squares, which he sent out by
peddlers. who found every carpenter
anxious to buy one. Soon he had or
ders coming in faster than he could
supply the demand. One of his steel
squares would sell for s5. or Sc
which was five times as much as il
cost him.
|, He applied for and obtained patent
on his invention SO that no one else
could deprive him of the profit it gave
him. It was just after the war OF 1872
and money was scarce and difficult tt
get. But he worked early and late
and as he earned money he bought
iron, and hired men to help him. II
few years he was able to erect
large factory and put in machinery fol
the making of squares, which by thl!
time had found their way all over th'
country and had made their inyentol
/ famous.

Bourke Cochran, of New York, who

Discussing the subject recently, Mr..

men of that splendid city nothing i'm
pressed me so much as the pride they
take in relating the achievements OF
some of the bright men who have
come down from the North, to join
hands with the old native stock IN de-
veloping the country.
They told me of one remarkable
man who came from New York in
1876. and proceeded to make himself
leader in several different lines OF
work. all of which are related to the
prosperity Of the whole region rather
than to that of an individual or of
single community. The story is well
worth telling, because it shows that
human resources are quite as import
ant as the material advantages which
are usually grouped under the head OF
natural resources, such as climate,
soil, timber and minerals. A country
may be richly endowed with the lat
ter, but it must find the genius to use
them in the best way before it can be
great country. This fact is fully
appreciated in Georgia, which is con-
sequently proud Of the enterprising
men it has attracted into it's citizen
ship from other parts of the United
States and anxious to get more OF
them.

WHISTLES TOO NOISY.
WOMAN PHILAETHRO OPIST WOULD
PREVENT UNNECESSARY DIS
TURBANCE OF SICK.
Mrs. Isaac L. Rice, a Wealthy New
Yorker States that Half of the
Vast Habbub Raised by Boat
Whistles is useless.

10 lSS~A~SSs
Mrs. Isaac L. Rice is one Of the
few rich and influential women OF
New York who is constantly looking
after the needs and comfort Of those
less fortunate in the awarding OF
the worlds goods than herself.
Mrs. Rice is a philaE thropic woman
who has never permitted her wealth
and comfortable surroundings to
blind her to the want and suffering
around her and has recently been
making a strong effort to have al
least one nuisance abated-a nuisance
in one sense and a menace to many
lives.
This is the constant and, as Mrs
Rice declares, the unnecessary blow
ing Of whistles and signals in New
York harbor. Night and day these
ear splitting whistles and sirens can
be heard for a distance OF thirteen
and a half miles over the city and
through careful investigation Mrs.
Rice has found that hundreds of in
valids in hospitals and nervous wo-
men in homes, are xdriyen almost to
distraction.
From her palatialEhome\ lin New
York's most exclusive resident section
Riverside Drive-Mrs. Rice has
gone forth to investigate this and
see If there were not some means by
which the sufferings of the poor ana
invalid people might be relieved.
She first took her case to the au-
thorities in New York who told her
any remedial measures were without
their jurisdiction and that she must
make an appeal to Washington.
Leaving her handsome home in
New York Mrs. Rice went to Washing
ton and laid the matter before the
Department OF Commerce and Labor.
She told the officials of the depart
ment of the $4,000 sick people in
New York whose suffering was made
two fold by this unnecessary noise;
she told how nervous men end women
were unable to get sleep because of
the continual, piercing shrieks Of the
river boats and she told them, too,
how river men themselves had said
that so many unnecessary signals in
duced collisions.
Mrs. Rice's fight was not against
the lawful signals but against the IN
Vulnerable blasts that were sent out
as particular meanings to river men
and their crews. Scows coming up
the river would begin blowing two
miles down and never cease until they
reached their wharves. This was
warning to their crews to make ready
to get out.
For weeks and weeks Mrs. Rice
worked to have all but necessary sig
