NORTHWEST GETS
MANY COLON|STS
THE MOVEMENT OF SETTLERS is
ASTONISHING.
INCREASE OVER LAST YEAR
Travel Confined Mostly to Home
seekers, Who Are Looking
for Farms,

Chicago, April 13.-The colonial
ton of the Pacific Northwest, which
was halted by the general business
depression and by fears of the finan-
cial interests of the country, is again
in full swing. The first month of
the spring colonization period has
just closed, and the railroad mana
gers are astonished at the results
shown by the net figures of the re-
turns.
These figures, as compiled by both
the Hartman and the Hill lines,
show that the present year bids fair
to surpass all previous years in the
numbers who will seek homes in the
land which Lewis and Clark opened
In the Northwest. The returns are
not all in as yet, but enough have
been recorded to convince the rail
road men that there will be at least
twice as many people in new homes
this year in the Pacific Northwest as
there were last year.
The eagerness with which the
homeseeker Is looking toward the
Northwest is shown by a table of
one-way colonist tickets sold by the
railroads for the month of March,
the sales being for the states of Ore
gon, Washington and Idaho.
Whenever a colonist ticket is sold
1t means a new settler for the terri
tory to which it is sold. In connec-
ton with the colonist movement, it
is stated by the railroad officials that
1t is their purpose to open up all the
new and productive territory pos
sible within the next few years, and
to continue the low colonist rates
spring and fall, with a view to CIV
ing the Northwest what it most
needs-population and transporta-
ton.

One of the advocates of the bill is
Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, formerly of

synagogue a power in New York. Dr.
Wise said

Nobody claims that it is, and 1t has
been demonstrated that it cannot be
enforced. The new bill is a COM
promise, admit, but the indications
are that it will be generally obeyed.

Cost of Graft Prosecution to San
Francisco Estimated 100000.
San Francisco, April 12.-Twelve
Jurors, one of whom may yet be ex-
cused, confronted the attorneys in
the trial of Patrick Calhoun, presl-
dent of the United Railroads, when
the 14th week of the proceedings
opened today.
All the efforts of one department
of the superior court were engaged
from March 81 to April 9 to fill the
eleventh seat in the box. Seven
days of actual trial passed without
the qualification of single citizen,
although 240 talesmen were sum-
moned by the sheriff and over 100
were subjected to actual interroga-
ton by the attorneys.
City Auditor Roster has prepared
a detailed statement of the cost to
the city of the bribery-graft prose-
cutions, showing the expense OF the
past nine months of the fiscal year
to be $4,000. With these figures
as a basis of comparison, it is es-
timated that the entire expense at
the close of the fiscal year will reach
a total of $4,000.
