TROOPS WILL REMAIN
IN CUBA At PRESENT
Was Thought 1t Would Be
Deter to Decrease Force.

Washington, June 13.-It is an
nounced at the war department that a
decision had been reached not to with
draw any of the American troops from
Cuba at the present time. 1t is I'M
derstood the conclusion reached was
based on representations from Gov.
Magoon and Gen. Barry, commanding
the army of Cuban pacification, that
it might be advisable to reduce the
military forces in Cuba in advance OF
the time fixed by the president for
the establishment of Cuban republic
next February, when the entire army
is to return to the United States. II
is explained that the only object OF
wishing to bring home some of the
troops at this time was to increase
the number of regulars in the contem
plated summer manoeuvers in this
country.

Population of Northwest Is In
creasing and immigration
Has Become Rapid.
LAND is IN GREAT DEMAND.
UNIQUE SUCCESS OF CANADIAN
GOVERNMENT TO OBTAIN SET
TIERS FROM UNITED STATES
ATTRACTS WIDE ATTENTION.

Chicago, June 13.-The activity of
the United States agents of the Cana
dian government, who now number be-
tween 200 and 800, was instanced by
the disclosure here that one Of them,
who sent but one family to locate in
Western Canada in his first year of
sevice, has now a record of over 5000
immigrants to his credit. This fur
nishes an explanation of the total of
900 eco American immigrants to Can
ada in the last seven years. This
have been instrumental in taking from
the United States some $o0,O00,OOO an
nually Much of this money of course
has been invested in land. This year
in Ohio, the territory of Canadian
agent H. NJ. Williams, the exodus Of
farmers to Western Canada has been
enormous and will exceed the record
of any previous year by several thous-
and This movement has created a
general demand for Canadian lands
and only recently some large purchas-
es were made by Toledo people in the
region traversed by the Canadian
Northern Railway. The general
agents of this road at Toronto, David
son and McRae, are quoted as saying
that the unique success of the Canadi-
an governments plan for getting set
tiers from the United States has been
so great this year that entire colonies
of people are emigrating this year,
whereas at the outset of Sir Clifford
Sifton's administration of the interior
department of Canada in 1897, the
emigrants went singly or in twos and
| threes Probably the world has never
witnessed such an exodus to a virgin
country. which was once believed to
be forbidding in climate, as that sys-
tcmatically produced by applying
modern business methods to the peo
ping Of an empire.

This Plan Is Advocated by Spo-

Proper Move.
PICTURE ON THE LICENSE.
SHOULD BE MisoEMEANoR FOR
ANY PERSON TO SELL TO AN
OTHER NOT PROVIDED WITH A
LICENSE AS REQUIRED.

Spokane. Wash. June 1S.-Compel ]
every man and woman who drinks in
toxicating liquors TO pay a license
fee. exempt saloonmen and permit
any one who desires to engage in the
traffic. the sale restriction being to
sell only 10 license holders.
These in brief are the chief points
of a plan announced by f. r. Hall of
Spokane, a candidate in the Third dis
trict for the next legislature of Wash !
ington to solve the liquor question in
this state. in which the republican
party is pledged TO local option. while
the democrats are on, record as favor
ing absolute prohibition.
Mr.. Hall has been a resident of
Eastern Washington since the pioneer
days and is a brother of former State
Senator Oliver Hall. who is mentioned
as a possible candidate for the leu
tenant governorship on the republican
ticket.
Outlining his plan Mr.. Hall said
that while he is willing to stand
squarely upon the republican state
platform and vote for the passage OF
a local option law. If elected, he will
introduce a measure which provides
that the man who drinks the liquor
should pay the license He added:
My plan would be to abolish all
saloon licenses, permitting any man
desiring to do so to sell liquor. II
man wants to drink he should be COM.
PEELED to take out a license to do so.
and it should be a misdemeanor for
any person to sell to a man who does
not have such a license. Such licen-
ses should be issued by county and
city. a reasonable fee being about S.
year for county licenses and from
81 to So year for city. This would
bring in a larger revenue than under
the present license system. and would
put the burden where it belongs.
Each license thus issued should
have attached thereto photograph
OF the person taking II out. so there
could be no using of the license ex.
cept by this man. IL should also con.
tain a provision that a conviction for
drunkenness at any time would be
punished by revocation of the lic-
ense for a period of six months or a
year. This appears to me to be the
logical solution of the LIQUOR question
