THOMAS SMITH is DEAD
County Pioneer, Friend of
State College, and Honest Poll
tician, Gone.


Tom Smith, one of the first
white settlers of Whitman county.
who took a portion of the land where
Colfax now stands as a homestead
when there were few white people
north of Snake river, is dead. Mr..
Smith came to what Is now Whitman
county with j A. Perkins, now living
in Colfax, and together they took up
the land where Colfax stands. Mr..
Smith got disgusted and left his part
of the land, which includes that site
Of the court house and the business
section, and he took a claim on I'm
ion fiat, south of Endicott, which is
now known as the Poplar Grove
farm. Mr.. Smith, while state sena-
tor from this district, probably did
as much as any man to secure Wash
ington State College for Whitman
county. The following from the Endi-
colt Index gives more of his history
since coming to Whitman county:
Thomas j. Smith, a pioneer of
Whitman and Walla Walla counties,
and well known here, was buried in
Waitsburg last Wednesday in the
odd Fellows cemetery The funeral
was held from the home of j. l..
Harper, the Rev. Mr.. McCaughy of
the Methodist church officiating. Mr..
Smith was born in Missouri, Deem
Der Is, 1S45. When but four months
old he crossed the plains with his
Polk county, Oregon, where helived
until 1866, when he moved to the
Touchet valley, settling in Waits
| burg. Soon after that he went to the
mines at Elk City, Idaho, and later
returned. In 1869 he moved to what
is now Whitman county.
In 1871 he married Miss Melissa
Cox of Waitsburg, who died nineteen
years ago. Three years later he mar
ried a sister of his wife, Mrs. Mida
Cox Whitcher, who survives him, as
does son, Ralph e. Smith of Sand
point, Idaho.
From 1879 Mr.. Smith was identi-
fed with the political interests of
the Territory of Washington. In 1880
he was elected a representative to
the legislature, and in 1882 territor-
ial councilman from Whitman coun-
ty. lie was a member of the legis-
lature when the territory was adj
mitted and was a member of the con-
stitutional convention. After this
state was admitted he was state SEN
ator until 1891. His greatest effort,
and which he seen eliminated, was
to get the State College for his coun-
ty, Whitman. In 1890 or 1891 he
purchased some holdings near Occur
.d'Alene city, Idaho, and moved there,
and he was elected county commits
sioner of Kootenai county. This was
the last public office he held.

$4,000 AMERICAN
SETTLERS GO
TO CANADA
THE YEAR 1909 HAS SHOWN AN
INCREASE OF OVER EIGHTY
PER CENT IN AMERICAN
SETTLEMENT.

Recent advices from Canada, our
next door neighbour, the n%eighbourly
country across the boundary line,
are that upwards of ninety thousand
settlers from the United States went
into Western Canada during the past
year, most Of them for the purpose of
taking up and settling upon the va
cant lands, 100 acres of which are
given free by the government, and
lands adjoining held by railway and
land companies are selling at from
nine to fifteen and twenty dollars per
acre. Even If thirty and forty dollars
per acre were paid, the price would be
low, as the lands produce wonderfully,
and at these higher figures there is a
large interest on the money and labor
invested. The ninety thousand set
tiers of last year, followed about sixty
thousand Of the previous year, and for
several years the number has been
running into these large figures. There
must be a reason for it. 1t may be
found in the single phrase, they are
satisfied" Nothing attracts people
more than the success of others, and
the news of this reaching other thou
sands, causes them to investigate. The
investigation in this case is always
satisfactory. The splendid land of
Iowa, of Indiana, of Nebraska, Kansas,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio
and other States has risen to a high
value, and it is worth every dollar
asked for 1t. But there is not room
now for all on these lands. With the
ever increasing demand for grain,
there comes the ever increasing de-
mand for land. Canada is the only
country on the continent in a position
to supply 1t. Land there that costs,
say fifteen dollars an acre, produces
on a reasonable calculation, 25 bushels
OF wheat to the acre, or about $4,000
The most liberal calculation as to cost
makes the cost to produce $3.50 per
acre, leaving a balance of $3.50 per
acre. The $3.50 carries good wages
for the farmer, and all other %conceiv-
able contingencies. With conditions
like this, covering the entire area of
about 100000 square miles, it is read
lily understood why 10000 Americans
should follow the sixty thousand of
the previous year. Canadian Govern
ment Agencies at different points in
the Union are always ready to give in
formation regarding the free home
stead lands, ready to advise the set
tier as to the districts which would
suit him best.
