We had quite q frost last Wednes-
day night. Some fear for the peach
crop, but We hope we will get to eat
II few Of them this year for most OF
our cans are empty and would be
very glad TO have them filed with
nice peaches this year.

Mcdowell, President; Mrs. Zwshlen,
vice president; Mrs. Clendening, sec.

er. We hope they will do we'll but
We don't believe they ought to have
left out the parsonage for IL is here
ia our midst and we think the peo,
pie should feel an interest In the par
sonage ss well as the church and
and should take pride in keeping it
looking nice and neat. II II be the case
they have feit the parsonage out We
hope they will reconsider and include
Is.
We notice the W.. CT U met at
the parsonage last Thursday and
finished up quilt and enough blocks
for another. So you see they are
workers, and willing ones too. There
seemed to be quite q number out. The
funnypart was when Mrs Mcdowell
was ready to start home the preacher
got the rig for her and drove up In
front OF she parsonage, got out and
held the horse until the lady came
out OF the house, The horse got i'm
patient waiting, 1t being cold, and
Mrs. Mcdowell came out and tool
the lines the horse was not ready &c

started back, They tried to lead 1,
but could not do that, coaxed II
but to no avail. Well We had ne

"These various drawbacks and
difficulties which are encountered
more and more as land farther from
water supply and of less desirability
are irrigated, make it imperative
that authority should be given to
extend the time in which an entry
man may complete the irrigation of
his land. In some cases an extern
sion of only six months will be nee
essary in others an extension of
two years will cover practically al
cases, though the interior depart

A great deal of interest has been
aroused in this city because of the
reports that an anarChistic attempt
was going to be made upon the
American battle-ship fleet in the
harbor of Rio JanieIo. 1t is believ-
ed that such rumors are without
foundation, but, nevertheless, Ad-
miral Evans has given orders that
the Magellan Straits be dragged by
the torpedo flotilla in advance
the battle ships, so as to preclude
the possibility of any catastrophe
in those narrow waters.

If you sh.uld ask any democrat in
this neighborhood who the only
democrat is, the chances are that
he would say William j. Bryan. 1t
is wonderful when you think of
the persistence of that man. Twice
defeated at the polls he again looms
up on the democratic horizon and
his hold appears to be stronger
than ever before. His principles
closely follow Roosevelt's, and if
the republican party dominates
what is considered a weak man,
then Mr.. Bryan is apt to come into
his own. 1t is evident that no re-
dictionary from MIR. Roosevelt's
rules is to be nominated from eth
er side, and in that event Mr.. Bry-
an is going to be the runner up
with vengeance.

EXPOSITION
BEING PUSHED
Buildings Going Up and Contracts
Being Granted. Large
Concessions Let.

Seattle, March 4.-Nearly a
thousand persons visit the site of
the Alaska Yukon Pacific EXPOSE
tiou every fine day to inspect the
work which is rapidly progressing
on the grounds and buildings.
The first of the big exhibit pal
aces that will be completed will be
the Manufactures building which
has reached the stage where the
roof will be placed into position
next week. Already much of the
ornamental staff work for this
building has been finished and is
bing placed in position.
The Agriculture building, twin
structure to the manufacturers build
ing, is not far behind her sister in
progress, as its walls are now be-
ing erected.
The emergency hospital will have
its last finishing touches apple d
within the next two weeks and
then a complete hospital corps
will be installed in the building to
take care of anyone hurt or taken
sick on the grounds.
Work has begun on the Auditor
ium, Fine Arts palace and Machin-
cry hall. These three structures
will be erected for permanent use
ord xv;11 ~ ho-Ie0,,,a L., 5a.;ox,
Buff brick with terra Gotta trim
mings will be used in their con-
struction. After the exposition
closes they will be used by the
University of Washington for ed
ucaticnal purposes.
The Fisheries and Mines building
will soon be started. These two
buildings will be similar in size
and will stand in the main picture
of the exposition. The fire depart
mcnt station will be commenced
within the next ten days and just
as soon as it is finished complete,
up-to-date fire apparatus will be
installed to protect the buildings
from fire while they are under
construction.
The contract for the Oregon
building will be the first one let for
a state building. Bids for this
work are now being calledfor.
Advices from Henry E. Reed,
director of the exploitation, and
other exposition officials in
Washington, d. c., give assur-
ance that the appropriation bill
granting $500, 600 for Uncle
Sans participation will be passed
by congress. The senate has al
ready passed the bill.
Applications for exhibit space
are pouring in. Some of the lead
ing manufacturers in the country
will make displays. Every effort
is being made to have, as far as
possible, only operative exhibits.
On account of the big demand for
space, the management is assured
that only the best exhibits need be
accepted. The officials state that
the most interesting EXHIBIT to
visitors is the one that shows how
an article is made, from the raw
material to the finished product.
A few exhibits OF this class already
arranged for are rope walk, agri-
cultural machinery, stationary
machinery and refrigerator factories
and large iron foundry for the
making of novelties never before
manufactured in public.

The largest and most instructive
Eskimo village ever presented at
worlds fair, has been arranged for
at the exposition. There will be no
expense spared in the collection of
this exhibit, as an exposition to ex-
plot Alaska must have as one of
its educationa amusement features
the best Eskimo display ever
placed before the public.
There will be three kinds of Es-
kimos in the village, those who
have not been touched by white
civilization, those who only recently
came into touch with modern civil
ization, and the common or garden
variety, the natives who were long
ago brought into contact with the
white man.
The village will present the Es-
KINDS in their home surroundings
with exact fidelity to life. Moving
pictures showing the tribsmcn
killing the seal, beaver and other
game will be feature of the at
traction. In tanks of artificially
cooled sea water will be displayed
living specimens of polar bear,
warus, sea-lion and other animals
native to the north.
Another big attraction arranged
for is spectacle called Fighting
the Flames. A concession W i'll
show the public how a modern fire
department operates at a big con-
flagration. A crack crew of fire
laddies, with fully equipped APP
parautus, under the leadership of
chief who at one time was the head
of fire department in one of the
larger American cities, will be
maintained by this show.

DESERT LAND LAWS
Bill to Amend the D.sert Land Act Is
Before Senate


men in congress to mater tally
amend the desert land act, and a
bill for that purpose was recently
reported to the house. This bill
proposes three changes in the exist
ing law, all of v hich have been rec
commended by the secre airy of the
interior. The first limits the right
to entry to surveyed lands, and
places the desert land entryman
who seeks to reclaim the unsurvey-
ed lands in the same position as the
homestead settler upon said lands
in the matter of preference right of
entry and survey. This change in
the law is deemed advisable, as ex-
perience has proven that in some
cases of entry of unsurveyed lands
subsequent survey led to confu-
sion.
The second change relates to the
matter Of assignments; prohibits
any assignment to any corporation
or association, or for it's benefit,
and provides that assignments can
only be made to individuals who are
qualified desert entrymen. This
change of law has been deemed ad-
visable as being in harmony with
the spirit of our public land laws
and to prevent the possibility of as
signment of desert entry being
made to a corporation which might
be organized for that purpose.
There is a department regulation
which strives to carry out this re-
striction, but it is deemed advisable
to have it in the form of a law.
The third change in the law
authorizes the commissioner of the
general land office, upon proper
showing, to grant the entryman
an extension of time, not exceeding
three years in any case, as may be
necessary to enable him to complete
the reclamation of the land covered
by his entry.
There has long been crying
need of legislation of this charac-
ter. Under the law as it now
stands the desert entryman must
make final proof in four years OF
the initiation of his entry. In
many cases this is impossible of ac-
complishment, even with the exer-
else of the utmost diligence on the
part of an entryman.
In it's report on the bill the
House committee says:
Desert entrymen are generally
poor men. In many cases the ex-
pensive reservoirs, canals and other
irrigation works must be construct
ed. 1t frequently occurs that these
works after construction develop I'M
forseen weakness or lack of carry
ing capacity at given point, or
are temporarily damaged by storms
SO that the water cannot be carried
upon the land within the life OF
the entry. Desert lands are often
very rough and require leveling, or
are of such character that they alb
serb water to such an extent that
the entire irrigation area of the en-
ltry can only be soaked up and re-
