during many centuries. Sometimes it
is a clock wonderful for the complexi-
ty of it's movements and its busy popu-
lation of authorizations that attracts our
admiration, Lille that in the Cathedral
OF Strasslsurg. At other times the I'm

case with the celebrated clock in the

Mechlin. A writer in La Nature thinks
this clock possesses the largest dials
that exist in the world. There are four

FRIGHT CROP OUTLOOK
Big Bend Looks for Bumper Wheat
Crop-Many Land Seekers Z

The inauguration of the cheap tour
list and homeseekers rates from east
ern points which went into effect on
the various transcOntinental lines two
weeks ago. has already begun to-
show its effects in the Big Bend
country. Every stage running into
Vf.terville from railroad points are
heavily loaded. Several new FAM
lilies have already arrived and been
placed on ranches previously con-
tracted for, and altogether the indi-
cations for prosperous immigration
season are very bright and will prob
able exceed that of last year, when
it is estimated that approximately
5000 settlers came into Douglas
county.
M. H. Dawson, resident represen-
tative of the Spokane real estate
| firm of G. A. Yancey & Co., says that
| he has received an unusually large
number of inquiries from eastern
people during the winter. These
people are scattered over large
area of territory ranging from the
Dakotas to North Carolina, Ohio, In
diana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri and Ar
kansas will furnish the bulk of the
immigration to the northwest this
year, as they have heretofore. Many
inquiries !. come from families who
live in or near manufacturing CEN
tiers, showing that these people are
the class most needed in a new coun-
try. They are homebuilders. And
there are many seeking investments.
/! All other real estate men report
the same conditions of business in
their respective offices. It is certain
that the opportunities are here for
both the homeseeker and the inves-
tor, and it is equally certain that
| Douglas county will get her share
during the influx of 1907.
Crop conditions throughout the
county at this season of the year are
1 reported to be most favorable. The
/ heavy fall of snow has almost disap-
peared, going off gradually and CIV
4 ing the soil ample opportunity to re-
ceive and conserve the moisture. In
4 some localities the snow has entirely
disappeared and spring seeding has
commenced. 1t is believed that the
acreage of fall sown wheat is less
than for several years on account of
unfavorable conditions prevailing in
some parts of the Big Bend at plant
ing time. AS the snow disappears,
however, those who managed to get
their seed in the ground before 1t
was too late, find that it has not only
sprouted, but in some instances has
attained growth of an inch.
With the ordinary spring and sum-
mer conditions usually prevalent in
this part of the country, wheat rails
ers, it is confidently believed, will
again harvest a crop equal to the
bumper of 1905.-Big Bend EN-

His Yankee Thrift.

a Massachusetts man tells story Of
''OId John" Langley, a veteran Worces-
ter horseman, that is illustrative Of
Yankee astuteness.
One day Langley sought his tailor
and in somewhat .profane terms de-
manded "a pair of breeches of the best
stuff in the shop" OF the many
samples submitted Old John hit upon a
beautiful silky broadcloth. the most
costly piece Of goods the tailor had,
and, although this was most insult
able for the purpose, Langley insisted
hat it was just what he wanted. Fur
t1ermore, he declared that he desired
Il made up wrong side OUT
The tailor expostulated in vain, but
the trousers were made as per speci-
ficatiOns and delivered.
A day or so thereafter a friend, call
ing on Langley. remarked on the trou-
sers in uncomplmentary language.
Langley said he was satisfied. More
guying resulted in an offer from Old
John to bet $50 that the cloth cost
more per yard than that in his friends
trousers. The bet was taken and the
tailor was to decide it. He named the
price. The friend would not believe
that the rough goods could be SO cost
~ until he was shown the shiny silky
side Then he paid, as other men had
on similar bets. SO that Old John reap
ed quite harvest on his original idea.
