Bishop Confirms
The Largest Class
Fooled Himself.

An old gentleman in a village not
far from Glasgow breakfasted every
morning on porridge, and, in order
to save fuel, cooked a whole week 5
supply every Saturday. On Friday
morning The stuff seemed very cold
and very salt, and he felt he must
abandon the struggle 10 eat it. Bat
his stubborn nature forbade any such
thought. So he fetched the whiskey
from the cupboard, poured out a
glass and placed it before him on
the table.
"Now, Sandy" said he, "if ye eat
that parritch yell hae that whiskey,
an if We don't ye won't"
He stuck again at the last spooA-
full, but, keeping his eye steadily IN
the glass of whiskey, he made a bold,
brave effort, and got 1t down. Then
he slowly and carefully poured back
the whiskey into the bottle with a
broad grin, as he said to himself:
Sandy. my lad, did ye thot time.
We auld fule."

Northwest throughout the summer,
beginning in June, when the colonist
ra es will 90 into effect. The un-
satisfactory conditions in the east
ern and middle western states and
the promising outlook in the west,
has turned many eyes toward east
crn Washington and northern Idaho
Colonists who came ont during the
last two months bear out this predie
ton, and the majori Y of them may
be termed forerunners of parties who
viii come out later
While there was a falling off in
the number Of colonists to the North
west in March and April, the class
of people is much superior 10 any
previous year. Fewer people are
looking for work. At least two
thirds of those who came out in
March and April did so with the
view Of buying fruit or farm land
in the Inland Empire and practically
all of them have located somewhere
in the Nor Invest.
The permanent exhibit maintained
by the Spokane chamber of commerce
undoubtedly has done more than any
other agency toward inducing these
people to settle somewhere in this
coun ry. Railroad officials say that
threc-fourths of the colonists who
came to the Northwest this year,
stopped off in spokane, where they
could soc displayed the products Of
