 Very we'll" said the hardwar man. l will give you it for th same, provided you will ao tn same with me as you would witt them.

 Nov" said the hardware man. T want 25 cents more to pay ex- press charges which the pur- chaser gave him. How much did your axe cost you?'
 One dollar and fifteen cents, : the man answered.
 Very good. Now give me the 5 cents for money order fess and postage, : which the purchaser had to hand over. Now how much did your axe cost you?" One dollar and twenty cents, . said the customer.

The Increase ia P0pulati) )n.

In an address delivered at tf e conference of governors in Wash ington the prediction was made that the United States will in 1850 have a population of more than 2OO,OOO,OOO. This was based on an annual increase of about 1 p per cent. plus an average annual immigration of 75O,OOo.
 There is no question as to the diminishing rate of natural in crease. but if the present popula- tion is 85, 100000 there will cer- tainly be added to it more than 45.- 100000 in the next forty-two years, unless natural growth is stopped altogether. and that is not probable. There will be an in- crease in that time of quite 2O.- 100000 from immigration. and # is not unreasonable to assume that there will be not less than 4O,O00,- 900 from natural growth.
 The population of the United Stated will reach I5O.OOO.OOO by the middle of the present century,  and it is not likely to halt there. Chicago Journal.

At THE THEATER
1.-THE Country Squire"

The Seattle Times makes the fol-
lowing comment on The Country
Squire" which is to appear at the
Wenatchee Theater next week:
High-class acting: a blending of
healthy humor and pathos so natural
and free from maudlin sentiment as
to cut deep; plain, everyday New
England scenes familiar to hundreds
on hundreds of Seattle people and Il
tender delineation of life in Vermont
a quarter of a century ago, make
The Country Squire by far and
away the best play that has been
seen at the Seattle theater this sea-
son.
Lee Willard, a former Seattle boy
and erstwhile student at the Univer
sity of Washington, plays the star
part, that of jeremiah Bassett, The
Squar, and the scores of his friends
who last night went to the Seattle 20
see him on his third annual tour Were
agreeably surprised, not only at his
splendid Interpretation of the charac-
ter of an old Vermont farmer, but
the excellent backing he has been
able TO secure in his actor-manage-
rial capacity.
The Country Squire is as simple
and clean, and as full of heart inter-
est as " The Old Homestead" 1t is
comedy and the story around the
play scarcely has any plot. 1t is just
everyday life among simple folk who
place the little affairsof their commu-
rity above the affairs of the nation
so far as interest is concerned. And
seeing the play one does not wonder
that this is so if it develops big, gen.
tie, strong characters like that of
jeremiah Bassett.
THE Country Squire was written
by j. A. Kent, a San Francisco news
paper man and Mr.. Willard. 1t is
in three unique acts and brings in
all of the many unique characters
that went to make up life in New
England years ago, from Hiram Hop
kins, the farm boy, who shows his
appreciation of the world from an
OPEN mouthed standpoint. to Lot
Thorn the narrow-minded, bigoted,
! lovable old deacon, whose church and
/ family make up the sum and sub
stance of his existence.

INvENTS MOTOR
FOR IRRIGATION

! Pasco, Feb. 1.-THE Morrison
water motor for irrigating purposes
that is now under construction II
the ferry will be ready for launching
tby the first of next week. The motor
is the invention of j. r Morrison and
consists of an auger forty-two feet
long and about five feet in diameter.
This anger is made to work inside
of a scow built for the purpose. The
scow is built like a long box with
compartments on each side, which are
arranged so that the scow can be
scuttled and sunk. This has to be
done so that the auger which runs
through the entire length of the box
like scow, can come in contact with
the current. At one end of the scow
are fianges or wings to increase the
intake.
At the other end and connected
with the shaft of the anger is a gear
ing to which an endless chain is at
tached that connects with an over
head gearing constructed in a way to
work pumps. Morrison has used
1900 feet of lumber in the construc-
ton of the scow, spent 5000 for shaft
ing and something like $500 for car
penter work. When completed it
will cost in the neighborhood of ST.
900.
This large expense is owing to its
being the first one constructed. Nor
rison is of the opinion, however, that
duplicates can be put up for some
thing like $500 when everything is
understood and material bought in
quantities.
If the motor proves successful, one
of them will easily irrigate 20 acres
of land if three or four-mile cur
rent can be obtained. A working mod
ell is on exhibition at the Windsor
hotel. The little auger, which is
only a few niche sin diameter, will,
by the use of the miniature pumps,
throw water eight feet high

St. Paul to be Built to the Coast.
Resulting from the visit to Seat
tie of A. J Earring, president of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul Rail-
way company, the engineering de-
partment of the corporation has been
instructed to take up Immediately
the work of planning a line between
Tacoma and Gray's Harbor. Survey
ors for the ST. Paul are already in
the field. and it is indicated that the
work will be hurried this spring so
that, If desired, construction can be-
gin during the latter part Of the
year.
The announcement that the Taco
ma-Grays Harbor line is TO be built
at once will come as a surprise to
railroad men, who have believed that
the St. Paul. afte reaching the wa
ter at Seattle would await a return
to norma business conditions in the
East before embarking on any new,
enterprises. 1t appears. however
that the Tacoma-Grays Harbor sys-
tenn was included in the original fl
nancial arrangements of the st. Paul
and that there are good reasons from
a railroad managers view point foI
the early completion of the whole sys-
tenn in Western Washington, inelud-
ing the line that is TO tap the vast
coal and timber areas on the Olympic
peninsula.
