RUSH OF HOMESEEKERS
BREAKS ALL RECORDS
Over 10000 New Settlers i'm North.
west, and Oregon Will Get
Half of Them.

CHICAGO, April 13.-The coloni
zation of the Pacific Northwest,
which was halted by the general
business depression and by the fears
of the financial interests of the
country, is again in full swing. The
first month of the spring colonial
tion period has just closed, and the
railroad managers are astonished
at the results shown by the net fig
ures of the returns
These figures, as compiled by
both the Hartman and the Hill
lines, show that the present yeal
bids fair to surpass all previous
years in the numbers who will seek
homes in the land of golden oppor-
tunity which Lewis and Clark open
ed IN the Northwest. This belief is
the result of the first four weeks
Of colonist travel ended March 81
The returns are not all in as yet, but
enough have been recorded to con-
vince the railroad men that there
will be at least twice as many people
settled in new homes this year in the
Pacific Northwest as there were last
year. If records are not broken in
this respect, there are a number OF
colonization experts who will be sad
| ly disappointed.
During the first four weeks Of
the colonist travel the Hartman
lines carried almost double the
number of people carried during the
corresponding period last year. The
eagerness with which the homeseek-
er is looking toward the Northwest
Is shown by a table of one-way col
onist tickets sold by the Hartman
roads for the month OF March, the
sales being for the states Of Wash
ington, Oregon and Idaho, A signi-
ficant fact in the table Is that more
than so per cent OF all the tickets
sold were to Portland and other
points in Oregon.
The future sales and the estim-
ated sales for the remainder OF the
month of April over the Union Pa
cific, the Southern Pacific, the Ore.
gon Short Line and the Oregon Rail-
road & Navigation Company bring
this total up to $4,000 This is over
double the number who settled in
the states off the Hartman roads
during March and April, 1908, and
that figure gives promise of between
40, 900 and $4,000 new settlers for
the year 1909.
Over 80 Per Cent of ColOnist Travel
Comes to Oregon.
The following figures for the
month Of March, given out by the
Hartman lines, illustrate the ex.
tent Of the colonist travel to the
Northwest, compared with last year
1t will be noticed that more than sc
per cent OF these tickets are to Port.
land and Oregon.

Concealed Weapons Lose Favor.

A new law passed by the Cali
fornia legislature requires that mer-
chants In making sales Of pistols be
required to register the number OF
the pistol and the name OF the pur-
chaser. The state OF California ap-
parently is going to keep track OF
those who buy this pocket instru-
ment. II may be also that the gov
ernment OF the United States will
do something IN the same direction
and even more radical, A southern
congressman has introduced novel
idea which he has proposed as a
part OF the new tariff bill II would
provide that every pistol be taxed
the sum OF two dollars at the fac.
tory. Ten million pistols year
would thus furnish a revenue OF
twenty million dollars, not an item
to be sneezed at exactly.

Enemies of prohibition are again
trying to stir up trouble between
party prohibitionists and anti-saloon
people by pointing to the fact that
the late prohibition conference did
not endorse county opt ion as means
OF fighting the saloon. There need
be no friction on that score. The
prohibiitonists object to county
option because it does not 60 far
enough. To endorse anything less
than absolute prohibition would
destroy their purpose as an organi-
zation. But never fear. When
it comes to making anti-saloon laws
tie prohibitionists will be there to
the last man. in the fight all the
time. There will be no speculation
about how they will vote on a
county option bill. Don't worry
about any damage to be done to the
cause by the prohibitionists.

"Christmas Eve!" The wonders
that come to the children with thee.
What visions of dolls, games. books,
candies, and all sorts of goodies;
drums. trumpets. whistles, with all
sorts of squeaks and discordant
blasts; and the wonderful Christmas
tree with its brilliant lights, gay
colors, and mysterious packages,
some Of which may contain the long
wished-for skates or huge jack
knives. It is all enchantment, all
the color of the rose, the rainbow
that spans their young lives. Not
all the wonder of the story of the
Star Of Bethlehem, of the following
and guiding of the wise men to the
lowly cradle of the coming King
not all the beauty of the old, old
stury can fully satisfy the juvenile
heart like these. But are we not
children Of a larger growth? In
spite of the solemnity of the occa.
sion. in spite of its deep and tender
meaning. the gifts and goodies ano
merrymaking are all dear to US
children in heart as we are.

Various reasons are given for the
high prices. The proportionate
increase in the output of gold.
which today is the chief medium
of exchange and is in some respects
a measure Of value, furnishes a
substantial explanation of at least
part Of the increase in prices
Presicnt Taftt's message.
Shades of the old populists!
What becomes Of the "intrinsic
value Of gold" and the other
claims Of Mr.. Taft's immediate
predecessors? A merciful Provi-
derce did for the people what they
refused to do for themselves and
opened their eyes and inventive
genius so that the gold output of
today more than doubles the output
Of both silver and gold in 1896. And
now the financiers are worrying
about the fact that they cannot
control the geld! Before long they
will force the demonetization of
gold. In the meantime they want
a big cenrtal bank established so
that they can absolutely control the
output of paper money. We pub
}ish elsewhere an editorial on this
question by Tom Watson. He uses
strong language. but the occasion
seems to demand it. Why longer
deliberately shut our eyes to the
dangers besetting free institutions
Willmar tribune., 1909-12-22

Salemsbladet calls attention to the
fact that in the thirteen state legis-
latures that have lately adopted
laws favorable to prohibition those
voting right on the measures have
numbered 686 republicans, 1852
democrats, 3 prohibitionists, 5 inde-
pendents, and 36 fusionists. That
paper then draws the conclusion
that these laws are therefore not
the result of the action of any one
party but are the results of the
united stand of friends of temper
ance in all parties.

The St. Paul correspondent of the
Duluth Herald published a cleverly
fabricated plan in which Congress-
man Volstead was to be opposed for
reelection by the editor of this
paper. This plan will be as much
a surprise to the Prohibition leaders
if it comes to their notice as it was
to ourselves. The report is abso-
lutely without foundation. Well
help to defeat Volstead, however, if
All available man who stands for
popular rights can be found to
make the race.

1t does seem that women have
more than a fair share Of the aches
and pains that afflict humanity: they
must keep up,' must attend to
duties in spite of constantly aching
backs, or headaches, dizzy spells,

stoop over, when to stoop means
torture. They must walk ana bend
and work with racking pains and
many aches from kidney ills.
Kidneys cause more suffering than

WEDNESDAY, DEC. %, 1909.

The TRIBUNE prints on the oppo-
site page a Christmas greeting to
the people Of Willmar, Kandiyohi
county and the neighborhood, to-
gether with a New Year s resolution
of cooperation for the further de-
velopement of the community.
This greeting and resolution was
signed by nearly every business
man in Willmar. each paying a GER
tain amount for the space occupied
by his name. This in itself is q
good proof that the business men
of the city mean to get together and
work together for the bests inter-
ests of the city. 1t is just this
spirit of get-together- for -the-ben-
efit-of-the-t town that Willmar needs.
Without it neither the city nor the
Individual doing business in 1t can
hope to succeed. During the COM
ing year many questions will come
up for consideration; there will be
a number of problems to solve. Let
US hope that everybody will take
hold and help that the questions may
be answered and the problems solved
to the best interest to the greatest
number. We want Willmar to con.
tinue to be numbered with the cit
les that edo things". We viii
have many chances to do. Let u!
take advantage of them. hustle anc
boost together all the time. Il
we do, Willmar will surely win.

Fifty organizations, including
delegations from several outside
towns, are ready to participate in
the big temperance parade that the
W. C. T. U. proposes to have in
Minneapolis about May IA next.
The parade authorities met last
night in the courthouse. Herbert
H. Parish, field secretary of the
Minnesota State Sunday School as
sociation, told the delegates that
there were 80 Sunday Schools anx-
ious to join and march in the pa
rade. Epworth League and Anti
Saloon League representatives were
present and signified the desire of
their organizations to cooperate
and help in every way to make the
parade great object lesson. Augs-
burg seminary notified the commit
tee that it would send 300 students
to march.
In view Of the numerous requests
coming in from smaller towns, it
was decided to extend a general in
vitation to participate to all the
towns in the vicinity of the twir
cities. The committees next meet
ing is Dec. 29.-Minneapolis Jour
nal.
1t is possible that Willmar anc
Kandiyohi county will be represen
ted in the parade. Surely they
have record Of which they can be
justly proud and it is sincerely
hoped that the necessary arrange
ments for their participation in the
parade can be made.

The American Red Cross hopes to
sell fifty million Christmas stamps
this year. This will mean a fund
of $500.000 with which to fight the
white plague, as compared with
$3.50, 900 which was the amount Sc
cured last year.
Every honest effort to stamp out
this dread disease ought to be en-
couraged. and it is to be hoped that
the people of Willmar and Kandi-
yohi county will do all in their
power to aid in this fight. The
actual expenditure per capita need
not be great; it is from the large
number Of sales that the society
hopes to secure the needed funds.
