Aged Woman Wants Citizenship.

Spokane, May 26.-Johana Knos-
berg, 50 years of age, living at 226
Third avenue. Spokane, has the dis
tinction of being the oldest woman
who ever made application in the
United States district court here for
citizenship papers. She desires to
take up homestead, together with
her son, and as she is a subject of
the king of Norway she must declare
her intention to become a citizen of
the United States before she Is al
lowed to file. She left Norway, her
native country, February 81, 1886,
and has lived in the northwest since
she came to the United States. AL
though palsied she declares she is in
good health and her hair is brown,
with not sprinkling of gray. In her
application for citizenship Mrs. Knos-
berg describes herself as weighing
lis pounds and five feet three inches
in height. Her homestead Is 100
acres of land in eastern Washington,
taken up under the stone and timber
act.

Fun at 6 Cents Per Freckle.

When is a freckle worth cents?
This question has nothing to do with
the age of Ann.
| The answer is: A freckle is worth
6 cents when it is on the face of
red-headed boy VINO happens to fall
into the hands of a gang of finan-
ciers who don't know what to do to
get "fun" out of their money.
The great railroads of Missouri
are fighting in the courts to increase
the passenger rate from two cents
per mile to three cents. In fact they
have announced that they will
charge three cents and defy the
state law. The state contends that
three cents is an extortionate rate.
The governor of Missouri, Mr.. Had
ley, was so indignant at the brazen
conduct of the railroads that he went
into court in person and argued the
case for the people. The courts are
now trying to decide whether the
railroads shall or shall not obey the
written law
The gentlemen who operate the
Missouri railroads had a banquet
at a fashionable hotel in st. Louis
the other night. They were desper-
ate for amusement, and as there
was no Fatima within call and no
one had invented spectacle to
equal Stanford Whites girl pie,
these gentlemen seized upon Harlow
Rice, red-headed, freckle-faced
page. whose musical voice has made
him famous among patrons of the
hotel. Harlow is a mere baby of
boy, and the hotel people have
dressed him up in a spiketail coat
and a high collar, and he goes
through the corridors singing names
of guests in a voice that is sweet
enough to grace supplied choir.
The railroad men seized upon Har-
low. They plagued him about his
freckles. He didn't mind. And, true
| to the instinct of the hotel bell hop,
he figured that these foolish old men
could be made to pay for the fun
they were having at his expense.
How many freckles do you think
i've got?" Harlow asked them. There
were all sorts of guesses. We'll,
how much will yer give me for every
one I'll COUNT"
"a penny apiece said the chair
man, very fat and foolish. Harlow

Young of Spokane, who have pro-

days. Mr.. Nicely is more than pleased
with the showing made on Crescent
bar and declares that it is entitled
to first place in the northwest in
protection from frost, earliness of
production and equalization of tenn
perature.
The steamer st. Paul, which has
been running between Trinidad and
Beverly the last three years, has just
undergone a complete overhauling
and will be taken to Wenatchee in a
few days. People living on the river
between these two points will miss
J the boat very much.

Men claiming to represent the

1t is rumored that several hundred
acres on the west side Of the river
from Crescent bar will soon be put
under water and sold in 10-acre
tracts A golden opportunity awaits
the undertaking.
Three large pumping plants in this
vicinity are now an assured success.
Others will doubtless follow.
