SEATTLE-A TYPE.

The opening Of the Alaskan Yukon
exposition bring into the focus of
public affairs one of the magic cities
of the terile and growing west. 1t
c llsto eattention of the slow-going.
conservative east the marvellous devel-
opment Of the northwest within the
past twenty-five years. Benton his
toric prophecy has become a reality,
and on the shores of the Pacific is be-
ing created a civilization of the high
upon natural resources of dazzling
richness and promise.
Twenty-Five years ago the American
northwest. composed OF Montana, Ida
no, Oregon and Washington, was
practically frontier Wilderness; to-
day it's assessed wealth runs into the
hundreds of millions and it's popula-
ton is increasing by leaps and bounds.
Seattle typities the spirit of peaceful
conquest that has redeemed this rich
territory to civilization. Twenty
years ago it was a struggling little
town perched upon the shores Of Pu-
get sound. The next census will show
population of about 300. 900. In 1883
it had no direct rail communication
with the east. Today four transcon-
tinental lines handle it's immense traf-
tic, and three other transcontinental
roads will soon be added to the list.
Twenty years have filled it's beautiful
and caracious harbor with shipping
from all parts of the world and placed
it in direct communication with the
ports of the Pacific.
The indomitable energy which has
built Seattle upon the shores Of the
American Mediterranean is character
istic of the entire northwest, which,
like Seattle, has grown into civic
manhood within II generation. Prob
ably no other section of the country
offers today opportunities SO great
and attractive for industry and enter
prise as does the northwest. And,
best of all, it is a country that makes
HlVu. HWY 10 tOIIN III llS
ozone that puts energy even into the
laggards. 1t is the rich prize Of I'M
limited opportunity that makes the
call of the northwest SO effective and
is drawing to itself an immigration
larger than ever before in it's history.
With vast areas Of the most fertile
agricultural land i'll the world, great
forests which IL wise government is
preserving, ineNhaustible mines of
coal, copper, and iron, water power
greater in volume and cheapness than
any other section of the country, the
northwest has Il future which daZZles
the imagination.
And new type Of American is be-
ing evolved in this almost virgin
country. Impatient of traditions and
conventions, hungry for results, with
making good" as the ideal of civic
and personal action, the new north
westerners are militant Optimists with
that energetic faith that removes
mountains. They are growing rapid
~ in numbers and influence, and the
time is not far off when they will
have much more potent voice in ma
tional affairs.

GIVE US MORE WHEAT.

There can be little question Of the
correctness Of the statement made ny
Mr.. James j. Hill at the opening Of
the Seattle exposition, that the high
price of wheat is due to natural causes
and not to any manipulation by spec
nlators in the Chicago wheat pit says
the Terry Tribune. There is also
little question OF the further state
ment of the great railroatler and en-
pire builder that while the demand
for wheat is constantly increasing,
the production OF the cereal has Writ
ually been ut 4 stand-still.
Several years ago, during the era OF
low wheat. the farmers Of the West
turned their attention t" the rrod'c-
ton of other things. In some sec
tions, potato culture took the place
Of wheat growing, while in some other
places, notably in the Arkansas valley
of Colorado and Kansas, the wheat
fields were plowed up and planted to
melons. Throughout the West, vast
alfalfa fields became common where
a few years before, waving grain was
to be seen, while the growth Of the
sugar industry, further drove out
wheat in order to make room for
beets.
1t doubtless was Il good thing for
the country that the farmers were
driven bv the low price OF wheat to
tie planting of other things. for there
b. the farming of the West became
more diversified and the farmers, not
being forced to depend largely upon
one product, found themselves pros
pprllls even in times Of low wheat
values.
There is little reason to expect that
many Of the wheat fields now devoted
t. the raising of sugar beets. alfalfa
and fruits, will ever again be planted
to wheat because of the fact that by
reason OF their present uses they are
immensely more profitable to their
owners than they would be il employ
ed in the production Of wheat ut even
present prices. This reduces the
country to the necessity OF looking
elsewhere for it's supply of bread
stu!fs.
Mr.. Hill is again right in his asser-
ton that the country must rely upon
the vast acreage of the northwest for
its wheat supply and that the immense
,lrv farms of Montana will within
few years become the reliance Of the
people, Montana becoming the gran
AIRY Of the world.
Experiments have demonstrated the
fact that wheat of excellent quality
can be produced in Montana upon the
lands lying outside the zone of irriga-
ton, and that the yield per acre is
vastly above that for the rest of the
country.
While tests have demonstrated the
fact that almost any sort of crop may
be prOttably cultivated nl6n the dry
lands of Eastern Montana, these tests
have also shown that wheat is espec-
tally successful.
The day of "dOllar wheat" SO long
hoped for by the farmers, is now here
and the best of it all is that there is
little probability that the price will
gOany lower than the figure mention
ed, for years to come. There is a

AS will be seen by referring to the
news columns Of this paper, the Pen
well ranch, located all around Judith
Gap, but the bulk Of which lies west of
the town, has been sold to Il syndicate
of wealthy Illinois gentlemen who pro-
pose to cOlonize the tract Immediately.
The new company intends to reserve
thousand acres or more on which
stand the home buildings Of the old
company, for the purpose Of engaging
in farming pursuits on large scale.
That part of the tract which is known
as the home rancl. is the finest land
in Montana. There are two large res
ervoirs on the land and buildings
which would cost SO, 600 to duplicate.
1t will make an ideal grain and stock
farm, the purposes to which the new
company intends to put it. The de-
velopment of all this land so close to
Judith Gap means many new settlers
with sufficient capital to carry on
farming proiitably, and many new
customers for Judith Gap merchants
already here and those to come.
Watch Judith Gap grow.

Hon. Lewis Penwell has gained the
well earned title Of being the greatest
sheep ranch promoter in the north
west. lie has nearly twelve COM
panies organized in Montana, all Of
which have paid from the start
yearly dividend Of 20 to 80 per cent to
the stockholders. There are over two
million dollars invested in these COM
panies. Mr.. Penwell has the conf
dence Of capitalists everywhere, be-
cause he makes good every promise
held out to them, and more. Pen
wells propositions do not 90 long for
the want of money to develop them.
When he promises a 10 to 20 per cent
dividend, capitalists have begun to
learn that the profits at the end of the
year will show even double and treble
that amount. This great promoter
was born and reared i'm Montana. He
is doing much for the development of
the state. and is fast forging to the
front ranks of Montana's great men
who are doing so much to place their
native commonwealth among the rich
est Of the Union.

What Kisses Mean.

We hear Il lot about kisses. TOsteal
kiss is natural. TO buy one is stu
pid. Two girls kissing is waste of
time. To kiss ones sister is pMryer.
To kiss ones wife is an obligation.
TO kiss an ugly woman is gallantry.
TO kiss an old, faded woman is devO-
ton. To kiss a young, blushing girl
;s-quite different thing. TO kiss
ones rich aunt is hypocrisy. kissing
three girls on the same day is extrava-
gance. To kiss ones mOther-in-law
is Il holy sacrifice.

THREE REASONS Each with Two Legs and Ten Fingers

A Boston woman who is a fond moth CT writes an amusing article about her experience feeding her boys
 Among other things she says Three chubby. rosy checked boys, Bob. Jack and Dick, aged 6, and 2 years respec- lively, are three of our reasons for us- ing and recommending the food, Grape Nuts, for these youngsters have been fed on Grape-Nuts since infancy, and often between meals when other chill dren would have been given candy.
 "I gave a package of Grape-Nuts to A neighbor whose 3 year old child was a weazened little thing. i'll half the time. The little tot ate the Grape Nuts and cream greedily and the moth CT continued the good work and 1t was not long before a truly wonderful change manifested itself in the child's face and body. The results were re- markable, even for Grape-Nuts.
 "Both husband and I use Grapefruit avery day and keep strong and well and have three of the finest. healthiest bows you can find in @ days march,"
 Many mothers instead of destroying the children's stomachs with candy and cake give the youngsters a handful of rape-Nuts when they are begging for aome thing in the way of sweets. The result is soon shown in greatly in- creased health, strength and mental ac- tlvity.

It was in this very cottage in Brookside, 15 miles from Bir- mingham, Ala, that three Ital- ians nearly died of Fever. They mad been sick three months. Johnson's Tonic cured them quickly-read letter below:
TWO APPROPRIATIONS
 ALREADY BEING TAPPED

Two of the appropriations made by the Legislature have already been tap ped by those to whom the money is to be paid. They are the $6O.o00 appro- priation to defray the expenses of the extra session. and the $60.000 appro- priation to pay sheriffs' feed bills.
 The extra session appropriation has been drawn on deeply, while the other has been expended but slightly.
 The 60,000 sheriffs' feed bill appro- priation Is to cover the deficiency of the $110.000 appropriation made each year.-The s110.000 is exhausted, and it was found necessary to appropriate $S0,000 for the two months of 1909 un- til October l, when the full appropria- tion for the next year is ready. and $30.00o for the corresponding two months of 1910, for 1t Is anticipated that again next year the $110.0o0 will fall short.
 Last year during the late summer of 1908. the feed bill appropriation was exhausted, and. as the new appropria- tion was not available until October 1, 1908, some of the sheriffs had to raise the money by their own efforts to tide over the few weeks, there being no Legislature In session to make an ap- propriation to cover the shortage.

BIDS CONSIDERED
MASONIC STATE HOME COMMITTEE
 HOLDS MEETING,

 win Visit Tuskegee Today, and Final
 Award of Home Will Probably
 Be Made To-
 night.
 A committee of Masons. composed of Albert D. Bloch of Mobile. Judge James A. Bilbro of Gadsden, Ben M Jacobs of Birmingham, pr. Robert J. Redden of Suligent. William M. Bass of Opelika and F. s. D. Mallory of Selma, met at the office of Grand Secretary Beau champ in the Masonic Temple last night. This committee Is considering bids that have been made by several Alabama cities to secure the State Ma sonic Home. The home will be estab- lished for the benefit of widows and orphans of Masons and indigent Ma sons. A general committee from the State at large, composed of fifteen members, has the final determination of the location, but the sub- committee of five was appointed to visit tho sev- eral towns from which propositions have been received and personally pass ,'non the advantages they have to of- fer.
 So far the subcommittee has visited Odenville, Jacksonville and Monte vallo. Each of these towns has made excellent propositions to the commit tee. The committee will visit TuslSe- gee Thursday and return to Montgom- cry Thursday night. when the general committee will meet in the library of the Masonic Temple here to finally de termine the location of the home.
 The order at large in the State now has on hand fund of more than S50.- 900 to be spent on the building, and before 1t is finally completed, the in- vestment will have reched S10O, 1000.
 So far as known. Montgomery has made no bid for the location of the home. but 1t Is not improbable that steps will be taken at the meeting to- morrow night to secure the home for Montgomery or at least to have the final decision of the committee held up until canvas of the city, can be made to learn the sentiment of the citi- zaOa

 With the stern commands of the law ringing in their ears, SherifY Hood and Deputy Sherin Harry McCord paid Reese Martins establishment on Dex- ter Avenue a visit last evening, but to no avail. The officers of the law searched the place from garret to roof, but not a semblance of the real ar. ticle rewarded their efforts. Over 200 lockers were examined but all were round to be empty.
 Having been informed that three downtown stands were dispensing liquor, Sheriff Hood immediately start led out on an inspection trip in cons pany with Deputy Harry McCord, last evening. They made their first stop at Reese Martins place. Although not expected they were made to feel at home by the proprietor. Coca Cola and ginger ale were the only beverages found on the premises.
 Leaving this place the officers start ed for the other two places they had in mind. But it was too late, and the stands had already closed their doors. The officers consequently retired from the battlefield for the night with the knowledge that one place at least was dry.
