ROADS GRANT LOW
COLONIsT RATES
HOMESEEKERS GALORE FROM THE
MIDDLE WEST SECTIONS
THIS SPRING

No news that has been received
by the people of Washington and
Oregon during the last twenty-four
months is So important as the an
n0unccmcnt that the trans-contin-
entail railroads will make rate. be-
ginning March 1St and continuing
until April 30th, from Kansas City,
Omaha, St. Paul, Minneapolis,
Winnipeg, and other similarly stu
ated towns, to all main line rail-
road points in the two states, for
s25.
The people Of no state ir the
Union have protited more by these
one-way tickets than have those of
Washington during the last four
years. The rate from Chicago is
$33, from st. Louis $50 50, with a
proportionate low fare from an
points in the United States. This
should add many thousands of
actual settlers to the population of
the Pacific Northwest. These are
one way tickets, and if travellers de-
sire to return to their former homes
in the older Eastern states they
would have to pay full fare.
Every commercial club and adj
vertising bureau in the state, as
we'll as every real estate firm should
begin Immediately to advertise these
rates. Every citizen should write
personal letters to old friends and
acluaintances reminding them that
the rate is good to their town. But
the ticket must be bought to the
point of destination, it's just as
cheap to the most distant Oregon or
Washington point IS to one just
over the border of the state.

STORlAND RECOMMENDS HORT!-
CULTUR: COURSE

The Kennewick Courier.
Dear Sir:
will drop you a few lines to let
you know that consider the course
that | am taking as very valuable.
Am taking Horticulture as the
main study. The special two=weeks
course in Horticulture will begin on
February 1st. 1t will consist of
lectures and labratory work and will
no doubt be very valuable to any
body that is in the fruit growing
business or intends to enter it. The
cost of coming will not amount to
much, railroad fare being the larg-
est item. Good board and room
can be had for from $40 to $500
per week.
There should be large number
from Kennewick here for that course
as a new country like this needs it
more than the older districts that
are quite well represented in the
short court.
Yours Truly,
John Storland,

Cincinnati, O., Nov. 1.-THE dec
laration of Mrs. jeanette Stewart
that she intends making public what
she knows of the Warriner shortage
in the accounts of the Big Four rail-
road, and thus clearing herself of
charges of blackmailing, was the most
interesting feature Of today's develop

case. A report is also current that
at least one high official Of this rail-
road company has rendered his resig-
nation. Mrs. Stewart says she has let
ters in a safety deposit box from the
Chicago man who has been named as
one of the blackmailers of Warmer
"They have pressed me too hard, :"
she added, "and I have to defend my
self When make those letters public
they'll make some of those around the
Big Four Offices sit up and take no
tice. Those letters will tell why they
don't arrest me. If they don't let me
go before the grand jury I'll bring
the whole business into court myself.

STATE CLOSES ITS CASE

DEFENSE BEING PRESENTED
TWENTY WITNESSES WILL SEEK

HE'LL INNOCENT.

Paris, Nov. 11.--When the trial of
Nine. Steinheil, for the murder of her
husband and mother-in-law, was re-
sumed today, twenty witnesses re-
manned to be heard, and then the
famous case will soon be ended. The
evidence given yesterday strength
ened the popular impression that the
real mystery is being buried under an
inextricable mass of prevarication.
The concensus of opinion ip Paris is
that the court has failed to develop
any material evidence against Nine.
Steinheil and that she must be ac-
quilted of the charge of murder. The
state rested its case this afternoon
and the defense began questioning
its witnesses.

Gandert promptly accommodated him
and returned with his prisoner to
