In few days official announce
ment will be made that Edwin Haw-
ley has at last secured control of
the Chicago, Cincinnati and Louis
willie railroad, and will take posses
sion of it before the end of the year.
This will complete Hawley's trunk
line from tidewater at Chesapeake
Bay to Chicago, and will open The
way to greater developments which
he has under consideration. Negotia-
tiUDs for the purchase OF this line
have been carried on continuously
since March, and more than once
have been so far advanced as to
warrant the announcement that the
deal was practically contaminated,
but bitches over one point or anoth-
-er have arisen from time to time,
making it necessary to begin all over
again
1t may be stated that in the agree
ment finally reached Edwin Hawley

property substantially at the figure

co.

Sacramento, CAL, Feb. 17.-Be-
cause Assemblyman A. NJ. Drew de-
livered a burning anti-Jap speech in
stead of a sermon at the Central
NJ E. church on Sunday night he
shocked the congregation and gave
his colleagues in the legislature
something to gossip about. Drew
may be beaten on the anti-alien meas
ure, but he is far from being silenced.
81 think l know why Roosevelt
sent orders to California to keep
hands off the question of excluding
Japanese children from schools.
This country has with China an an
nual trade amounting to $4,000, 1000.
1 believe he thinks Japan could man
ipulate matters so as to close the
doors of China to trade from the
United States.
'Shall the homes of this great
state be pitted against paltry dollars
and cents of trade? If the Japan
csc come, the white man must go.
Don't permit these foreigneHkto
live in our midst; don't permit them
to take our land and drive our peo-
pie out. The history of the world
teaches us that the mingling of the
white and black races always brought
the white down and never brought
the black race up. 1t always resulted
in a shiftless, worthless mongrel race
that the world does not want. 1t will
be the same with the whites and Japs.
ITO compete with the yellow race
means that the white men will starve
to DEATH"

be able to come here himself for the
rose show, he is sending the latest
creation in the flower world as his
gift to the festival.
Mr. Burbank says it is the most
beautiful rose he has ever seen, and
the rose festival management is very
much gratified at receiving the gift.

WORKS FOR
RIVAL ASP|RAhT
AT GRANGER WITH
DRAWS ROM RACE FOR RE-
APPOINTMENT IN FAVOR OF
YOUNG LADY,

George P. Eaton, postmaster at
Granger, in Yakima county, has the
star performance of the beaux of the
days of lace collars and jewelled
swords backed off the boards when
it comes to real gallantry. He has
been custodian of the mails since the
birth of the thriving town in the va
kima valley red apple district, three
years ago, bringing the office this
year to a point where it was worth
holding. When it was announced
that Miss Mary A. Ide, daughter of
the postmaster at Alfalfa, Wash,
wanted the position, Mr.. Eaton
dropped the incoming letters and
newspapers and made personal can
vas with petition to the postmaster
general, recommending Miss Ide for
the job. He also headed the list
of the signers. Practically every res
ident of the town favors Miss Ide,
who has experience and is qualified
to hold the Office. There is every
reason to believe that Mr.. Eaton can
have any gift at the command of the
people of his district if he desires po-
litical Office.

across my back. I was unable to
work and at times was laid up, feel
ing languid and entirely devoid OF
ambition. My husband finally pro-
cured Doan's Kidney Pills at the Red

try them. 1t was surprising how
quickly they acted upon my kidneys.

Many SleepIess Nights, Owing to q
Persistent Cough. Relief
Found at Last.


For several winters past my wife
has been troubled with a most per-
sistent and disagreeable cough,
which invariably extended over
period of several weeks and caused
her many sleepless nights" writes
VIII J. Hayner, editor Of the Burley,
Colo, Bulletin. Various remedies
were tried each year, with no bene-
fetal results. In November last the
cough again put in an appearance
and my wife, acting on the sugaes-
ton Of friend, purchased a bottle
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
The result was, indeed, marvellous.
After three doses the cough entirely
disappeared and has not manifested
itself since" This remedy is for
sale by all dealers.

URGES PULLMAN
SCHOLARSHIP
III. G.. LITTLEFIELD WRITES FROM
POMONA, CALIFORNIA, IN
STATE COLLEGE AT PULLMAN.
Pomona, Cal. Feb. s

Pomona, Cal, Feb. s.
Editor Daily World:
I am glad to see that Wenatchee
has taken up the matter of offering a
scholarship to the Washington State
college. | have always felt that We
natchee did not do right in making
the first scholarship to the Univer-
slty. When you stop to think and
look into the matter, you will realize
the great amount of good the expert
mental department has done for the
Wenatchee Valley. 1t has been worth
tens of thousands of dollars to this
valley, both in direct experimenting
and general valuable information.
Any help they were called upon to
give along agricultural or horticul-
tural lines was willingly given, free
of any cost to the ranchers.
I know from talking with the fac
ulty and some of the regents that
they feel the slight done the mwhen
the first scholarship was offered to
ing for Wenatchee, except in a gen.
eral way. I am sorry for the fact
that the state college is shown so lit
tie attention in our section of the
country, as we'll as being little known
and appreciated in the major part of
the state The majority of the peo-
pie in the state do not know what
grand institution we have at Pullman.
Il believe most of the people think of
and look upon this school only as an
experiment station, when really that
department is only small part of
the work. I wish everyone in the
state could and would visit the State
College, as I have done since away on
this trip. l found the plant way
ahead of what I expected. The cam
pus is beautifully situated on a large
side hill, overlooking the town of
Pullman and surrounding country.
The grounds and buildings are artis-
tically arranged. They have a num-
Der of fine large buildings, the best
having been erected during the last
two years. So, in addition to the ex-
pertinent station, it is fully as we'll
and possibly better equipped for
fao h;y,r ayIry o11 hvon hnc Af loo
ing that the university does. Many
people who are we'll posted claim
that the science and engineering de-
partments are superior to the uni
versity and that the school of mines
especially is equal to any in the
northwest They are very fortunate
in having recently secured the serv-
ices of Prof Thompson, who is at
the head of this department.
The attendance at the college at
the present time is about the same
as at the university. When this
this school was started as an expert
ment station it was endowed by con-
gress with 10000 acres of land, and
later, when it introduced the scien-
tific courses, it was endowed with an
additional 100000 acres of land.
Also by special act of congress this
college receives $4,000 cash every
year from the government So you
see this is quite school, something
worth working for. And the way 1t
is forging ahead in all lines, the uni
versity will have to keep going some
to keep up with it. You need not
fear to send your children there for
an education, for the moral surround
ings are the best. Verytruly yours,
H. G. LITTLEFIELD.
