As on the western prairies In
pioneer days, the trapper's camp fire,
kfndled to prepare his frugal meal or
to warm him from the biting wind,
famed into renewed vigor, spread,
first on the tiny blade of grass to
neighboring blades, and thence to the
tangled masses all around until the
broad plains were one vast sea of
seathing flame destroying all before
1t, so the mail order business, started
In the eastern cities on a small scale,
famed by the breeze of judicious ad-
vertising, has spread until it now COW
ers the length and breadth of our land
and threatens disaster to the smaller
dealers everywhere. The note of
warning has been sounded, the light
is visible in the sky, and yet, appar-
emily oblivious to it all, the ones
whose safety is being endangered,
heed not the alarm nor the signal of
disaster. The country merchant and
the farmer, whose combined efforts
can stem the tide of destruction that
threatens to engulf them, are alone
unconscious of the approaching devas-
tation, that, like a great sea of con-
suming flame, is threatening to engulf
them.
The country merchant and the farm
er-the simple, honest dwellers in the
rural districts, are the victims this
gigantic peril is reaching out for to
fill its rapacious NAV. Each year it's
grasp becomes f1rmer, it's power
greater. Only a few short years ago
the catalogue house was thing un-
heard of, to-day it stands as one Of
Americas greatest institutions. And
with great fortune comes great pow
er, so now the mail order business
may well be classed among the powers
of the nation. Its efforts are already
being felt at the national capital,

NEGRO BUYS HOME NEAR
ENRAGED MILLIONAIRES

FASHIONABLE Washington is agog
l over the purchase of home in one
Of the most exclusive sections of the
city by Alonzo Ware, q negro. Ware
started to move into his new home,
1856 T street, but was enjoined. The
matter is now awaiting hearing on it's
merits, and extensive real estate hold
ers will make an effort to have the in
juaction made permanent
John M. Henderson sold the house
to James E. Leath for $500. Leath,
white man, said he was soon to mar
ry and wanted a home. After the deal
was closed Leath turned over the title
to Ware for SO, and it is now alleged
that Ware was the real principal in
the transaction. Henderson owns
100000 worth of property in the imms.-

Many wonderful things happen III
this country. One of them is the
recent election to the United States
senate from a western state of the
son of an immigrant who came tc
this country in the steerage in the
middle of the last century, and late,
married fellow steerage passenger
But this is not so wonderful as the
presence in the senate of anothe,
man who came over in the steerage
himself, and has risen to a position
of power and influence.

welt, the president handles him with
out gloves and criticises both investi-
gators numerically, for bringing
charges and wasting money of the
government and the time of govern

commission has investigated the only
three specific charges he could get
Mr.. Harrison to make, and that they
have been found to be without foun-

How Hanks got his job is an inter-

class of 70 at Harvard, Roosevelt to
that of 80. They were the champion
boxers of their classes and met in an
interclass championship affair. Hanks
knocked down the future president.
After getting through college Roose-

to golf. He is the author of book,

WILSON'S IDEAS AS TO
GOVERNMENT INVENTORS

should be construed to mean the peo-
pie of the United States instead mere
ly of the organization called the gov
eminent.
Two of the scientists under Wilson
have perfected mechanical apparatus
to be used in ascertaining the amount
OF moisture in grains. It is to be used
in the grading of corn, wheat and oats
when the farmer brings them to mar
1et. Any intelligent layman will be
able to use it. Secretary Wilson or
dered it patented and dedicated to the
people of the United States for their
free manufacture and use. The people
of foreign countries will have to nav
royalties on it.
Wilson's scientists have patented a
toxin that destroys the germs of hog
cholera and process for the propaga-
ton and distribution of nitrogen-gath-
ering bacteria which enables farmers
to fertilize fields that have been rob-
bed Of nitrogen without inoculating
them with pieces of sod brought from
lands known to have the little insects
needed to restore the proper amount
Of nitrogen by taking it from the air.
The two inventions would have made
the inventors millionaires, but Wilson
compelled the inventors, who We're
working on government time and u.s.
ing government laboratories, to dedi-
cate their discoveries to the free use
of the people of this country.
That appears to be the quintessence
of square deal for the people who
are paying the bills. It is notable,
however, because of the different rrac-
tice in the war and navy departments.

Snakes Reared for Their Skine.

The idea that snakes are useless
creatures and should be exterminated
wherever found, will have to pass
away, says the Shoe Trade Journal,
as in Australia they are now being
Systematically reared for the sake of
their skins, which have a considera-
BILE commercial value in London,
Paris and New York. Snakeskin is
the fashionable material for slippers,
belts, bags, purses, jewel boxes, card
cases, dressing-table accessories, ETC..
Rabbit trappers supplement their
means considerably by catching young
snakes and extracting their poinson-
GUS fangs. The blacks are also ex-
pert snake catchers. To them the
snake is an agreeable article of diet.

CANADA'S GOOD TIMES,
The immigration During 1906 Was
216,oo0.

While 1t is well to heed every
word OF caution from the leaders in
commerce and finance and to avoid
all speculative ventures that lack a
solid business foundation, it is clearly
evident that there is no conspicuous
weak spot in Canada's present era Of
prosperity. The Toronto Globe says:
1.-THE Dominion has in a commercial
sense plenty Of money, and our lead.
Ing financial institutions are in a po-
s1t1on to lend freely in the United
states. The chief productive enter
prises OF Canada are not buoyed up
by an era Of dangerous speculation,
but are following substantial bust
ness methods and finding safe and
continuous markets for their goods.
We are not bolstering up any indus
tries by extensive export bonuses
that must impoverish the people as
a whole, and ultimately lead to COL
lapse through the failure of the artf.
fetal aid. There is no extreme pro-
lection in Canada such as would Gre
ate great fortunes for few at the
expense Of the general public and
lead to disruption and catastrophe.
The prosperity of Canada has no ar
tif1cial foundation being based on a
healthy and substantial expansion Of
trade and industry, with a proportion
ate extension of productive settlement
to new areas.
1t is true that We are borrowing
extensively for railway construction,
but every line will bring new terri
tory within the limits of profitable
occupation, and will create prosper
Gus settlements to bear the burdens
and repay the outlay. We are not
exhausting mineral resources, for it
Is quite reasonable to assume that,
although mineral wealth is never
permanent, ours will during the
measurable future develop far
greater productive capacity than at
present. Our timber wealth can be.
made continuous by a judicious pol
Icy. And agriculture, the real foun-
dalton of our prosperity, is expanding
with every new expenditure on rail-
way construction. We are not in
the flush of a railway mania that
could bring it's punishment through
the useless duplication of lines. The
gigantic railway enterprises that
now stimulate every line of business
In Canada will create a new Domin-
Ion, and thus render easy the heavy
burdens Of debt now freely assumed.
Canadas era of prosperity has been
unprecedented, but there is no sign
of weakness and no cause for lack
Of confidence. While our growth is
normal and healthy, we need have no
alarm at it's rapidity" This article
might have gone on to relate the
great growth that is taking place in
Central Canada, where thousands Of
Americans have made their homes
during the past few years The past
calendar year has given to Canada by
importation an addition of $4,000 to
its population. OF this the United
States contributed 63,781. The agents
Of the Canadian government, whose
advertisement appears elsewhere, say
that this number will be largely in
creased during 1907.

Alderman at Walla WalIa.

Walla Walla, March 21.-Prof. j
H. Alderman, superintendent of pub
lie instruction in Oregon, gave the
principal address last evening before
the tri-oounty teachers institute. He
spoke on the Rural School Problem, y
and his address was very good. Speak
ing from the standpoint of a man who
has made both rural and city schools
close study, Mr.. Ackerman showed
that the country schools We're rapidly
developing into better institutions OF
learning and that what had already
been done was only a small mite OF
what will be accomplished.

ITALIAN COLONY
FOR UMAT|LLA
ITALIAN REPRESENTATIVE
LOOKING FOR LOCATION
Signor Pietre Cortc. Italian Consul
at Denver, Is Favorably Impressed
With Umatilla County and May
Return to Locate Large Tract of
Land-Large Colony from the Cit
les of the East Will Be Sent TO the
Northwest.

That Umatilla county may receive
an Italian colony as homeseekers in
the near future is one of the possi-
bilities of the season.
Pietro Corte, Italian consul at Den
yer, passed through the city last
evening on the eastbound o. R. &
n. train on his way to Weiser to
look over the country with a view
to locating n colony Of Italian peo-
pie from the congested districts of
New York and Philadelphia and II
he is not favorably impressed with
the country around Weiser he ex-
poets to return to this city and in
vesiigate the Butter creek, Hermis-
ton and Hudson bay irrigated dis
tricts in hopes of finding a suitable
location.
Fe said that he had been engaged
by his people to locate a large tract
of land in a congenial climate where
families may make homes on small
tracts and that the country near
Pendleton looked very promising for
such settlement.
The colony will be American citi
zens, will be supplied with money by
rich Italians who will purchase the
land and locate the colonists, taking
their pay from the settlers as they
produce crops and earn money by
their labor.

PROTEST VACCINATION.
Echo People Unavailingly Appeal to

Some Echo parents have written to
County School Superintendent Welles
protesting against the rule that all
children attending the Echo school
must be vaccinated by certain day
next week. owing to the prevalence
of smallpox in that vicinity, the
school board has made such an order.
Those writing the superintendent de-
clare that the practice of vaccination
is contrary to their religious beliefs.
However, under the laws of the state,
school boards are given authority to
compel vaccination and the superin-
tendent has so informed the COM
plainants,

standing the suspension OF work on
several large contracts, the Union Pa
ciflc is proceeding to double-track its
main line from Omaha to Green River,
and intends to lave completed 28O of
the 7S0 miles by early fall. This is in
accordance with promise made by
Vice President Mohler, who has been
in Denver for several days. Mr.. Moh-
Ter stated today that there is little
prospect of better time being made
with livestock trains until the work
Of double-tracking is completed.
He also said the company consider
ed this the most important enterprise
now under way. Four extra tracks
are being laid between Omaha and
South Omaha, and at least 200 miles
OF double-tracking will be laid this
year.
Double-tracking between Julesburg
and Cheyenne will be somewhat de-
layed in order to finish the work
along portions of the line where traf-
fic is heavier.
