EASY CHARITY.

Frederick Townsend Martin, the
brilliant leader of New York society,
was discussing at dinner the fund
that he is raising for the great cam
paign against tuberculosis.
Now, as Christmas approaches,
said Mr.. Martin, my fund will grow
fast. Christmas opens all hearts AL |
Lockets. 1t finds few Americans like
- like the Spaniard."
He shook his head and smiled.
"A man once solicited for a chart
ty in st. Sebastian" he said. ''He
asked a nobleman to subscribe. The
nobleman shook his head and said
haughtily:
81 only give, sir, to the genuine,
deserving poor
And whom do you call the genu
inc deserving poor?" the other asked.
"The genuine, deserving poor are
those who are too proud to accepr
aims" said the nobleman still more
kaughtily.

concerns that come into this valley
with the view of selling stock, certi-
ficates or anything else that does not
show plainly on the face what it is.
Mr. Russell's idea is that all such
concerns should be put through a
sweating process by the committee
and If found to be legitimate they
should be given a clearance certifi-
cate showing that the concern is en-
titled to the confidence of the public.
The buying public should insist upon
seeing these certificates and if they
buy without seeing the certificate
then they should blame no one but
themselves if they are taken in by
the grafters.
This matter will probably come up
at a meeting of the Commercial Club
at the next meeting.

HIT THE WRONG TARGET.

A Richmond man bought turkey
from old Uncle Ephraim and asked
him in making the purchase if it was
a tame turkey.
ooh, vas, sir; it's tame tu'ky oil
right"
Now, Ephraim, are you sure it's a
tame turkey?'
ooh, vas, sir; dere's no so't O
doubt bout dat It's tame tu'ky oil
right
He consequently bought the tur-
key, and a day or two later when
eating it he came across several shot.
Later on, when he met old Ephraim
on the street. he said:
well. Ephraim, you told me that
was tame turkey, but found some
shot in it when I was eating it,
ooh, dat war a tome tu'ky, oil
right" was Uncle Ephraim's reiter-
ated rejoinier, but de fac it, boss,

RAILROAD CONTRACT
ORS ASSEMBLING IN SOUND
REGARDING kENNEWICK AND
NORTHERN.

Seattle, Jan. 16.-Contracts for
of railroad in Eastern Washington
will be let during the late spring and
early summer involving an expendi-
ture of approximately 100000.
At least this is the belief of many of
the best informed railroad contract
ors in the Pacific Northwest, who
nave made Seattle their headuarters
during the past thirty days.
There appears to be every evidence
that the North Coast railroad will let
contracts for construction of large
part of it's line from Kennewick
north and east towards Spokane,
while at the same time forging
westward towards Cowlitz Pass,
along the route which the North
Coast officials publicly declared Two
years ago to be the line of that road
into Western Washington.
r. E. Strahorn, of Spokane, pre5i
dent of the North Coast railway COM
pany, has, it is said, requested of Pa
cific coast railroad contractors infor-
nation as to the number of men
that may be obtained for grading
work during the coming summer ana
the information is given out tha;
the North Coast will spend hig
sum Of money during the coming
summer.

west bank of the Columbia river
from Kennewick through Richland
and the Hartford district and thence
north and east into the Big Bend
country, including Lincoln and Doug

The annual wheat crop of the Big
Bend district is ordinarily not less
than 100000 bushels, much of
which is now hauled to Spokane and
there delivered to the o. r. & ~,
Hartman road, or the Great North
ern, and taken thence down the Col

Well informed railroad men be-

tive in his desire to complete the

In these days Of progressive cleo

right TO expect the immediate trans
mission OF news. and yet for hours on
March the national capital was iso-
lated completely just when the entire
country had centered Its attention
upon events there. The most popu-
lous section OF the country was almost
wholly deprived of information re-
gardIng the national ceremony until
night. Had mail trains left Washing
ton the morning of the 4th they would
have carried the news Of the blizzard
raging there and the conditions In the
capital as far as New York and Gin.

telegraph. Even authorization TO pub.
lish the inaugural address, which for.
tnnately had been distributed In ad.
vance, was with difficulty sent to the

II was expected that the wires would
go down In the blizzard, but few re-
allied that the old system OF wires
strung on wooden poles was the sole
reliance for news from the political
center Of the country. Openwork
iron posts would be better than wood
en- poles. and underground conduits
still better for more reasons than one.
