RUSH FOR LAND STILL ON
faionse Country Sending Its Share
OF People to Register For
Land Drawing

The rush for registration for the
land drawings continues with nm
abated interest and fury. Every
train passing through Pullman is
loaded and the rush at all three of
the registration points is SO much
greater than was expected that no.
taries have run out of blanks TN 20
Monday night of this week the grand
total of registrations for the tbrae
reservations was 1864, and II is
believed that it will pass the 300
700 mark, although only about q
week remains in which to register
Pullman is sending a large deleoa-
ton. 1t is estimated that 300 ner-
sons from Pullman and Immediate
Nclnlty will have registered before
the close of registration, on August
D. That the chance of winning is
very slight is shown by a compari-
son OF tile number of pieces of land
TO be drawn 1t is estimated thar
the chances of drawing a number
that will entitle the holder 10 anv
land at all, is about one in twenty or
one in thirty depending upon the
total registration. The chances Of
drawing a good piece of land is onlv
about one in fifty, or even less.
w A Moss registered at all three
places, Spokane. Coenr d'Alene and
Mlssoula. That Mr. Moss does not
thlnk he stands much of a show Of
getting any land was shown Tuesday
when he made a bet with r.. l., Mo
All'ster thet no on from Pullman,
or within one mile of the town wonld
get any land. Five dollars was the
amount of the bet and both men
feel confident oe winning. II Mr.
McAllister does not win there will be
great many disappointed people in
Pullman and vicinity.
Mr. Moss says the round trip cost
him just $45, which is probably
about an average of the cost of 90
ing from any point in the Palouse
country to register for the three re-
seryatlons. When one stops to es-
innate The vast amount of money
paid by the hundreds of thousands
OF persons who have come from all
parts of the United States and even
from foreign countries to take a
chance on drawing a piece of land.
1t is easily conceivable that the state
ment made that the money spent for
railroad fare and other expenses
would be more than the total value
of all of the land to be drawn. That
the drawing is a great boon to the
railroads and TO the hotels and no
taries cannot be denied and 1t will
probably be Il benefit to the entire
northwest, for It will draw people
from all parts to this section and
many of the disappointed people will
buy land and locate in the north
west

REVOLUTION
OR YOUNG r1EH

and doubtless the answer, Is in abe
book somewhere if they can only find
1t.
The practice of resolving presents
a similar aspect. 1t is not entirely
perfect at present. But considering
the few years since Adam inaugurated
the outdoor sleeping fad and became
grandpa to the human race it is not
surprising that some details are still
to be worked out. The forming of the
resolution has been beautifully work
ed out, till almost any one, the merest
novice, can resolve. The date, too,
has been firmly fixed as on the first
of January. The chief difficulty that
still remains has to do with keeping
the resolution once it is made. Some
thing like keeping your aeroplane
right side up once you have estab-
lished a neighborly relation with the
stars.
Probably several years will elapse
before the custom of resolving
reaches perfection and in the mean
time 1t might be we'll to adopt a
makeshift for the present unattain.
able.
1t would seem as If the difficulty
might be minimized by more attention
to the subjects taken for resolving
purposes. 1t is well to use care in Sc
lecting our resolutions, and because
of the proximity of January !, few
suggestions may not be out OF place.
For a young woman-Try this one
II hereby resolve with earnestness to
no longer insist on grandma wearing
French heels" There are several ad-
vantageous features to this resolution.
To begin with 1t Is humane. Just
think of forcing the poor old lady to
teeter down the street with little
church steeples under her sole leath-
er! Her silver locks bob under her
dignified black bonnet and at every
painful step she whispers Ouch" Fie
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1909-12-31

upon you! Sbsmey! Remember
grandma is not so young as she once
was and the penitential efficiency of
bunion is greatly enhanced by the
showing forward of the foot as accom-
plished by the French heel. Command
the old lady to do a cake-walk once
an hour around the dining room table
If you will, but let her do it in COM
Portable shoes. Another item in favor
of trying this resolution is the fact
that you have probably never asked
grandma to wear any kind of shoes
she didn't like, so it should be that
much easier to keep to your resolu-
tion not to do so.
For young mani resolve from
this day never again to smoke a pipe
in church. This sample is highly
recommended. The practice against
which you issue the edict of Danish
ment is reprehensible in the highest
degree. Smoking, while of course 1t
might be solace to you during the
sermon, could not but annoy your
neighbors and fellow worshipers. The
men envy you, leading to countless
domestic difficulties for them. The
preacher is unable to see whether all
the deacons are awake or not by the
haze from your pipe. Moreover. just
as distinguished statesman once Of
ficially declared that the odor of
cigarettes annoyed him there are
those to whom the smell of a pipe Is
a nuisance and the offertory collector
might be one of these. Besides, you
would probably be thrown out or ar
rested or something.
For men who ride much in street
cares "henceforth l will not mind the
feathers" This is one requiring con-
siderable care-but if strictly adhered
to will be found of great assistance in
your daily life. When depending from
strap and resting your toes on some
neighbor's long stiff quill suddenly
1abs you in the nose giving to that fea-
ture the rich red that which another
class of resolvists have already ac-
quired, do not release your temper.
Smile and pretend you like it. Oft
times you can make yourself believe
1t, after due practice, of course But
the principal advantage to be cited in
this resolutions favor is that you
might just as we'll" So long as the
fashion remains the same you will
have your daily communion with the
tail feathers of an ostrich or of a
rooster and If you resolve not to mind,
how much more placid the temper!
For any one who does not raise
chickens-"I hereby resolve and de-
termine not to eat any more strictly
fresh eggs for several weeks to
come" This is in some respects the
prize resolution. It's advantages are
many. but all the others are over
shadowed by this one-you can't get
any to eat.
In spite of all the teacher may do
the pupil will not learn unless he
himself studies. You cannot make
successful use of these sample resolu-
tions without effort on your part. But
you should find one among them
which can be kept with the minimum
OF struggle. If you have no choice or
you are skeptical as TO your ability.
try the last one.

Allowed.-The very handsome design
here presented can be made up not
only in the, fashionable wide mate

the back gives the requisite fare. The
pattern is in five sizes from "a to 80
inches waist measure. For "a waist
the skirt, made of material with nap,

So many sentiments crowd themselves into New
