him out, so nearly drowned that there
was little life left in him. 1t was some
time before the boy regained conscious
ness and then only after repeated rollings
to get the water out of his lungs.
There are still the initials of the two
boys carved on the inner side of the old
water wheel Abe made them while
waiting for his clothes to dry. The boys
were afraid to go home with wet clothes
and they stayed naked under the wheel
while the clothes were drying in the sun.
Neither boy told of the affair and it was
only after the assassination that Abe S
companion detailed his part in the scrape
which came near unconsciously changing
the history of the country.
Such are a few recollections of the
great Emancipation. Those who wish to
follow his larger deeds will needs turn
to United States history, where they are
boldly written. There never was anoth-
er such man on the American continent
as Abraham Lincoln and probably there
never again wiV be. And future genera

Around the fireside or about the
well-lighted family reading table dur
ing the winter evenings the children
and grown-ups can play with their
wits and see how many words can be
made.
20 people making the greatest num-
Der Of words will each receive a little
box containing $40 gold piece.
10 people will each win one box con-
tanning a S. gold piece.
300 people will each win box con-
tanning 81 in paper money and one
person who makes the highest number
of words over all contestants will re-
ceive box containing 500 in gold.
It is really a most fascinating bit Of
fun to take up the list evening after
evening and see how many words can
be added
A few rules are necessary for abso-
lutte fair play.
Any word authorized by Webster
dictionary will be counted, but no
name of person. Both the singular
and plural can be used, as for instance
grape" and grapes
The letters in "Y-I-O-Grape- Nuts
Geographical names authorized by
Webster will be counted.
Arrange the words in alphabetical
classes, all those beginning with A to-
gether and those beginning with e to
come under e, etc.
When you are writing down the
words leave some spaces, in the A, q,
and other columns to fill in later as
new words come to you, for they will
spring into mind every evening.
1t is almost certain that some con-
testants will tie with others. In such
cases a prize identical in value and
character with that offered in that
class shall be awarded to each. Each
one will be requested to send with the
list Of words a plainly written letter
describing the advantages of Grape
Nuts, but the contestant is not re-
quired to purchase a pkg. These let
tiers are not to contain poetry, or fam
cy fourishes, but simple, truthful
statements Of fact. For illustration:
A person may have experienced some
incipient or chronic ails traceable to
unwise selection Of food that failed to

practice of sending comic valentines.
Hurting the feelings of another and
shielding ones self behind ones nameless-
ness is the act of a coward if done in
tentionally, or of a fool if done thought
lessly
1t is matter of congratulation that
so evil practice is dying out and becom-
ing more and more restricted year by
year-a pleasant proof or advancing civ
ilization. But the older and better GUS
tom, of sending little words of cheer and
affection, shows no sign of falling off.
Children love to get valentines, and moth
ing can be more kindly than for grown
folk to spend a few cents and take pains
to remember all the little folk they know.
Small girls especially long for many val
entines, and are correspondingly disap-
pointed if they do not come.
If there is any sentiment left in your
soul after this graceful little performance,
it will be we'll to remember your faithful
spouse and see the blush of pleasure
mount to the cheek at the unexpectedness
of the remembrance. st. Valentines day
is nothing if not for this and affairs of
sentiment like it.
There is none too much loving kindness
in this busy workaday world Add a drop
or two of its essence, and see how happy
it will make you.-Wallace Rice in Chi

Big Timber Deal Goes Through

Everett, April 4.-Prohably the
largest timber deal ever handled in
one transaction i'll Snohomish County
was the sale made on Saturday to the
Port BlakeleyMill Company of 200. =
O00,OO0 feet standing timber compris
ed in tract of about 4 800 acres near
Wallace. The seller was the Wausua
Everett Investment Company and the
trade was effected through the agency
Of Currie and Stanford.
The price is not announced, but
it is understood that the property
brought the land with the expecta-
tion of logging it and furnishing
material for cutting to their big
mill across the Sound.

that even if it were possible to grow
them as goou, the apples from this val.
ley would always find a market, ow-
ing to the uncertainty of the eastern
crop. He states that in the east apple
growing is always more or less side
issue with the farmers and conse.
quently the orchards are neglected.
"Well," said Mr.. Stark, "the apple
orchards here would be neglected if
you harvested q crop only once in ev-
cry three or four years. 1t is an i'm
possibility to grow apples back there
of the kind you do here for the reas-
on that we haven't the soil nor the
climate. Wenatchee apples will al
ways top the market and wherever
there is demand for fancy apples
there you will find the Wenatchee
brand. They are the showiest apples
| have ever seen. California apples
can't compare with them and the best
eastern apples grown must take back
seat fol the average product of this
valley"
In speaking of an over production
of apples Mr.. Stark stated that it is
an impossibility to overstock the mar
ket with apples of the kind produced
here for the reason that while apples
may be plenty ali over the country
some years there is never plenty of
the grade grown in the valley.
According to Mr.. Stark the demand
for apples in Europe is unlimited, pro-
viding the price is not too nigh. He
believes, however that apples which
sell here from IS TO 80 cents rer box
can be shipped to Europe at profit
aud sold in immense quantities.
Mr.. Stark expects to remain in the
valley tor d week or ten days looking
after his interests here and becoming
better acquainted with the orchards
and fruit growers.

Less Wheat This Year

Davenport, April AZ. W. Ander-
son, cashier of the Lincoln County
State Bank, said yesterday:
''In talking with the large number
of ranchers in this vicinity it is saf e
to estimate that there will be a one
third less crop put in than there was
last year. This is accounted for from
the fact that two years ago the price
of grain was high and every foot of
ground that could possibly be put in to
crop was so used in the spring of 1905.
Present indications of prices are such
that the rancher seems warranted in
summer fallowing more land than u.s.
ual. Seeding is we'll under way nd
the ground is in the best of co ndi-
tions."

PLAN TWO NEW LINES
Home T. & T. Co. to String Wires
Between Los Angeles and San
Francisco

Plans are now being made for build
ing two telephone lines by the Home
Telephone and Telegraph company con-
Meeting Los Angeles and San Francisco.
One of the new lines will go north
almost paralleling the Southern Pacific
valley line, and the other line will be
by way of the coast and will take in the
most important cities en- route.
The materials for the new exchange
in San Francisco have already been
ordered, and it Is said that within the
next eighteen months the lines will be
in working order.
The new lines are to be the finest on
the coast in the way of equipment. All
of the wires and cables in San Fran
cisco Will be placed underground.
When completed the exchange will
accommodate $4,000 subscribers.
An expenditure of $6,000,00O will be
made in the construction work. One
third of this amount will be spent the
first two years and the remainder
within the next two years.
