COL0NIST RUSH
GREATEST EVER
KEEPS STEP WITH INVASION
OF TOURISTS
Southern Pacific, Santa Fe and salt
Lake systems Carry Increasing
Army Of coastbound
Travellers
ny HUGH X. HARTUNG

California has this year experienced
its greatest rush Of tourists and coll
onsts. 40
In years past the winter months have
marked the advent of most OF the
tourists. those who came to enjoy the
climate of the state and its matchless
scenery and to escape the rigors OF
eastern winters.
Now California is as much a sum-
mer resort as a winter resting place.
And IL is a vast colonization center.
The early prophets long ago stated
that Californias best advertisers were
her visitors, and the thousands VINO
have fiocked toward the coast and To-
Gated here since say cheerfully that
they have been Influenced to come
mainly by what they had heard from
others who had preceded them or from
their own visual evidence
California's tourists have been lead
ing asset of the Golden state in more
ways than one.
On Heels of Tourists
Leading officials of the Southern Pa
cific. Santa Fe and Salt Lake systems
the great feeders for Southern Califor-
nia-are united in saying that 1906 was
the greatest tourist and colonist year
in railroad history and that 1905 was
the next in numbers.
Railroad officials are reaching more
and more after the colonist business
without neglecting the tourists, who
prize California as the American para
disc, special attention has been paid
to the settlers who come west with the
intention of staying and growing ur
with the country.
They place their investable money
here; they buy and cultivate ranches
orchards and gardens; they stay and
induce their relatives and friends later
They are big item in the California
proposition.
And as a rule the colonists seek the
new, undeveloped country, because the
chances for wealth are greater there
especially for men of small means.
From Middle West
The first six months of 1906 indicate
that most of the travel to California
has been from the middle west.
The extreme east is sending its pill
grims as of yore and in increasing
numbers, but from the Mississippi val
ley and in the area east of the Rockies
the army of travellers is strongest
numerically. California assimilates
them all.

for them, and simply did a little song
and dance act in a black princess cos
tune. The next time I visit Long
Beach I shall don a bathing suit and
dance on the sand to my hearts con-

know"
so the people of Long Beach sit
moodily around and hear that delightful
melody, THE face on the bar room

Beach and return to Los Angeles.
Mention stage legs'' to the people of
Long Beach and they stare big stares
and say unkind things. But mention
beach legs to them and they under
stand, for, do not they and their daugh-
ters and relatives daily display their
pedal extremeties to the view of the
outer world on the beaches and even
to the fourth and fifth block back from
the seashore7
So little Lille had hard time of t..
Miss Sutherland is scarcely more than
FIVE feet high and dressed in a dainty
princess costume reaching to her knees
she looks more like cute little girl
Of twelve years Of age than like a
grcwn up woman.
Twas Simply Shocking
while in Los Angeles recently Miss
Sutherland performed little speciality
act by dancing to a song called "Bill
Simmons" The young woman In fiimsy
knee trousers and red tights made "a
decided hit and Prof Guitoni, manager
of the Long Beach band, decided that
for the benefit of the people of Long
Beach the single act of vaudeville
might be given there.
1t was arranged with Miss Suther-
land that three times week she was
to twirl daintily in front of Long Beach
audiences along with the performance
of the band.
But the professor knew a thing or
two and he blushingly suggested that
Miss Sutherland put on a few more
clothes.
She did, and when she appeared at
the first nights performance, horror
of horrors, her legs showed to the
public from her ankles to her knees
Think of It, a pair of dainty, well
formed legs encased in black silk stock
ings, out in view of every onei Simply
shocking!
The crusaders gave a gasp of horror,
but did they get up and leave? Oh
yes, but not until after the dance when
they were sure Miss Sutherland had
finished
AS for that young woman she had
worn dainty gown of black spangles
and while it only extended to her knees
she is so small that an ordinary OBJ
server could not have told whether or
not the dancer was a little girl.
Bathers Are lnnocents
But the dainty display had shocked
Long Beach as it has not been shocked
for several months. Hundreds of the
women of Long Beach and possibly
some of those who opposed Miss Suth-
erlands appearance, daily appear on
the beach in decidedly decolette cos
tunes both at neck and hem.
These women dip in the ocean and
coming forth with garments clinging
to them are more spectacular than
little Lille Sutherland in her dainty
princess costume, yet the people were
shocked shocked and mortified that
the people of Long Beach should see
a pair of kicking limbs and so a mass
meeting was held, and members of the
board of trustees with many misgiv-
ings plodded sorrowfully to the band
master and told him that hereafter he
must not allow such a degrading and
improper sight as a pair of limbs to be
displayed before the chaste eyes of the
Long Beachers.
Never again for me-" says Miss

SUES HAGGART ESTATE.
Bond Company Brings an Action as a
q Result of the SCHNEIDER and
Hurst Defalcations.

An action has been started in the
federal court by the United States FL
deity & Guarantee Co. against Betsy
Haggart, as administrative of the .es-
tate of John e. Haggart, deceased, to
recover S3,69S.92. The action is the
outgrowth of the defalcations of Dep-
uty United States Marshals SCHNEIDER
and Hurst
The guaranty company had supplied
bond of $4,000 for United States
Marshal Haggart and his deputies and
When SCHNEIDER and Hurst were sent
10 the penitentiary for embezzlement,
SUIT was started against the guaran-
" company to recover on the bonds.
The case was in the court for several
years and finally judgment was rend-
cred in favor of the government. The
amount of the judgment was paid last
December.
Soon after the payment of the judg-
ment. the Guaranty company present
ed a claim against the John e. Hat
gart estate for the amount which had
been paid the government on the iudg-
ment together with the costs of the
5y ? oiey oolhpdny IN IShllng the case
me claim was returned by Mrs. Hag-
gart, administrative of the estate bf
John e. Haggart.
The defalcation of SCHNEIDER and
Hurst attracted considerable attention
throughout the state several years ago.
Both accused were well known
throughout the state and were very
popular. Both were convicted and
sentenced to terms in the federal pen
itentiary at Sioux Falls. Hurst serv
ed his time and is now chief of police
at Devils Lake. SCHNEIDER died while
a prisoner in the penitentiary.
The specific charge was riding on
passes and charging the. government

than two weeks and after that time
would have to commence the work Of
tearing down the tower.
Sometime ago Postmaster Eddy
asked the department at Washington
TO have the plans for the addition to
the federal building changed so that
the tower might be allowed to remain
ana word was received soon thereaf-
ter to the effect that the matter would
receive favorable consideration. About
that time Mr.. Miller received a let
ter from Washington asking him not
TO do any work on the part of the
building in which is located the tower
until after revised plans had been re-
ceived. Considerable time has elaps
ed and the plans have not yet been re-
ceived.
The general sentiment in Fargo is
IN favor of keeping the tower on the
federal building. Those Interested
are urging the sending of a petition
to Washington asking that arrange
ments be made in the plans for the
addition to the building SO that the
tower will be included. Although the
time within which anything can be
done is short, no action has yet been
taken In the preparing of petition.

judgment must be used on this point
of breeding. If the farmer has a
big, coarse mare, big boned, and
built on generous lines as to angles
and curves, but which has no sort of
fine breeding, and there is a good
jack in the country, he should not
waste the mare trying to get a finely
bred horse colt, but should breed her
to the jack; generally he will get a
mule that will be worth anywhere
from hundred to twice that amount
of money at two years. If he has a
finely bred mare, he should take her
points, decide what she ought to
turn out as colt of class, and go out
and find horse with which to mate
her, even if he has to travel long
way from home. If he has a good
draft mare, it will be a complete
waste of her time to breed her to a
road horse or a thoroughbred, for
she will get him a worthless horse

no more use for dual-purpose horse
in this country today than there is

get good, marketable colt from her

THE EFFECT OF WORRY.

Worry is a curse and source of
untold evils. 1t seems the face with
lines and burrows, and has a most
depressing effect upon that hyper
sensitive organ, the stomach, which
at such times becomes a most un-
willing and laggard servant. In
deed, it is safe to say that unless en-
couraged by a cheerful temper and
bright, or at least hopeful thoughts,
the stomach will play truant and do
no work which it can shirk. The
physiological explanation of this is
the close alliance of the great SYM
pathetic nerves, which ar worse
than the telegraph for carrying bad
news the worry and anxiety which
depress the brain produce simulta-
neously semi-paralysis of the nerves
of the stomach, gastric juices will
not flow, and presto! there is indi-
gestion.
One sign of mental health is Sc
renity of temper and a self-control
that enables us to bear with equanim-
ity and unruffled temper the petty
trials and jars of life, especially those
arising from contact with scolding
irascible, irritating folk. 1t is well
to remember at such times that
these unfortunates are their own
worst foes, and a cultivation of the
art of not hearing will help US very
much. It is a very useful art all
through life, and well worth some
trouble to acquire.

SENTENCE SERMONS.

The best way to bow before the
Almighty is to bend to the needy.
Honesty is the best policy when
you cease to figure on the premium.
It's so much easier to talk of con-
version than it is to manifest cour-
tesy.
It's easier for some men to acquire
money than manners.
Every dog isn't bird dog, but
every cat is a bird cat.
Fortune telling is always fortunate
for the fortune teller.
Marriage is never a failure, but
often the contracting parties are.
No, the starboard of a steamer is
not reserved for star boarders.
Beauty is worse than liquor, it in
toxicates both the holder and be-
holder.
A man is not justified in taking
an eyeopener because he is blindly in
love.

PRETTY NEARLY RUN DOWN.

CAT this minute, as 1 think of
it." said tired man, the phrase
all run down strikes me with new
significance.
''It has always heretofore seemed
to me to indicate a condition of ply
sical ill being, and that only, and
that, in many cases, it may mean
still; but just now, on the eve of
vacation, run down comes to me
with the sense simply of unwound.
"I find myself, for illustration,
physically we'll and comfortable and
yet without much power-in the
condition of a clock whose works
are all right and sound but whose
spring is nearly unwound and which
now strikes slow and tagging.
Nothing the matter with the clock,
only it is almost run down and needs
winding up.
$50 with me. I've been working
for a year now and striking all
the time, and for that matter can
still strike, but really 1 need wind
ing. I am not all run down in the
common acceptance of that term, but
need winding, and am, happily,
about to go away for that purpose.
"On Our vacation, if we give our
selves chance, we rewind automati
cally, with no effect whatever on our
own part, and still with delightful,
and cumulatively, delightful, con-
sciousness of the rewinding if we
give ourselves chance.
"There are men who take their
business away with them or let it
come to them-if not fatal, a fool
ish mistake. Any touch of business
stops the rewinding instantly and
also retards it for some little time
after before the winding sets in
again, so that the man who does this
comes back with his spring only half
wound.
''I would not attempt to counsel
all creation, for I am modest man /;
but to those about to start on their
vacation 1 would say: Sink the
shop, and sink it entirely. Cut it
out utterly and completely. Be wise
and get the full benefit. Forget the
desk the minute you turn your back
on it. Take all the resisting tension
off the spring.
81 am going, myself, to the noun
tains, to the shores of a lake, with
forest clad mountains rising all
around, where nature is at once rest
ful and strong and potent, and I
shall give myself all to nature, let
nature wind me up"

HOW SHOT MAKING was DISCOVERED.

The shot tower was very high.
At the top, in the center, was
great perforated plate, giant colan-
der, and hundred feet below vast
tank of cold water glimmered.
"Here she goes 70 said the fore
man.
He dumped a huge ladleful of
molten lead into the colander. 1t
fell in a fine rain through the per-
forations. Down below there was a
splash, splash, splash, and in the
water tank lay many pounds of fresh
shot, round and perfect.
"The shot tower, a grand inven-
ton, was due to dream" the FORE
man said. "Once upon a time shot
was made by hand. Lead was cut
into tiny cubes and rolled in a bar
rel until, the corners wearing off,
the cubes grew round. 1t was a
tedious, costly process.
"Then came the dream of a shoe
maker, named Watts. Watts
dreamed one night that he went to a
party, and that on the way home a
strange rain began to fall. This
rain hurt him.
1T stings like shot, he said.
"And then he caught some of it
in his hands, and it was shot. When
Watts awoke the next morning, he
could not get his odd dream out of
his head. He thought of it all day
long. And late that afternoon he
went up into the steeple of church
and melted a small chunk of lead
and dropped it down. The lead fell
in round pellets, in perfect grobules.
1t was shot--shot made with none of
the difficulties of cutting and barrel
rolling. Watts, thanks to his
dream, had happened on wonderful
invention.

DISCOUNT FOR SHORTAGE.

A couple, evidently from an ex-
ceedingly rural district, recently pre-
sented themselves at the home of a
Buffalo minister and announced that
they wished to be married. The
would-be bride was of LONELINESS
to cause one less pity for the blind,
but the groom seemed satisfied, and
as they possessed the necessary IL
cense the minister proceeded with the
ceremony.
"How much dew that come to,
parson ?" the man inquired, bringing
a handful of silver change from a
deep trousers pocket. Name yer
regular fgger that you charge tn
swells. I'm a-goin' tn limit, by
jinks."
"Oh, have no regular charge, "
the minister said 'just give me
what you think it is WORTH
The groom turned and eyed the
bride in speculative manner.
"She's a good gal, eff she ain't
much on looks" he said, thought
fully, "an' I'll be gosh derned e1
she amt wurth dollar an forty
