1t is said that every mans def1ni-
ton of the term gentleman" makes
it inclusive of himself. Likewise it IA
true that each man is prone to believe
that his manners are the best in the
world. A writer in the Washington
Star, speaking of this point, relates the
following story. On man-of-war
there was once a reception, and it
happened that a distinguished states
man forgot, or did not know, the usu-
al formal salute on coming aboard.
who's that lubber what don'e tip
his sSypiece to the sklpper?" said q
sailor.
Choke your luff," returned another
sailor. That's Senator Blank, the "a.
nous tariff leader"
We'll" growled the first sailor.

From it he evolved a new system OF
farming. His neighbors laughed at
him and remained poor, while Camp
bell grew wealthy. When he wanted
new tools with which to farm accord
ing to his new ideas, the farm imple'
ment manufacturers made light OF mis-
ideas. Campbell made his own tools,
and to-day they are being manufac'
tured in Odessa, Arad, Hungard'
Hyderabad and half dozen cities In
the United States.
He wanted to tell the western farm
ers what he had discovered, so ne

faction of seeing his articles repro
duced in a dozen different languages.
One of these, an article on soil value,
was translated into Russian by Tschai-
kowsky, the Russian political writer,
while he was a prisoner in the fortress
of Peter and Paul at st. Petersburg.
E. H. Hartman, as he once passed
through the great wheat country of the
west. held out his hand to Mr.. Camp
bell. who was in the railroad mans
private car, and said:
"If the Union Pacific gave you ST.
100000 every year it could not pay
YOU for it's increased freight from your
work"
Mr.. Campbell now lives in Lincoln,
Neb.. where he maintains a force Of
clerks to keep the accounts of his big
farms and his other interests. And
lust twenty-five years ago this summer
he had nothing but an OK and an old
lame mule.
When he walked out to look once
more at his burned field, he noticed
small punches of good wheat His GU

carefully and found that these punches

mule.

swer came to him.
1T was the packing of the earth by
the weight Of the muller"
The next year, when Mr.. Campbell
sowed his wheat, he rolled it with a
homemade roller for days and days.
His neighbors laughed at him.
When the wheat sprouted every ker-
mel came up, and so did that planted
by his neighbors, who again laughed
at the "fool Vermont maehinist who
thinks he knows how to farm"
Then came the long hot days and the
neighbors' wheat dried up and burned.

oldest EngIish surname.

The name of Smith is, according to
Professor Mahaffy, the oldest English
surname. In a list of names he dis
covered when investigating the Petrie
papyri, there is one, he tells us,
which appears regularly in the same
form, and of which we can give no
further explanation. 1t is the name
Smith-unmistakably written. We
have never found anything like 1t be-
fore. and It is surely worth telling the
many distinguished bearers Of the
name that there was a man known IS
Smith in the twentieth year of the
third Ptolemy. 227 B. c., and that 40

theory had been proved, and the next
year every farmer in that country
packed his wheat ground down at the
bottom OF the furrow.
That was the start. To-day Mr..
Campbell owns and operates 1000 acres
In North Dakota, $40 acres in Midland
County, Texas; 800 acres near Plain

$40 acres at Medicine Hat. Alberta, and

old mule walked across my wheat field
twenty-five years ago." he says.

as ARE KILLED In two
BURIED PASSENGER TRAINS
Avalanche Strikes Great Northern
Trains and Hurls Them from
Track Into GuIch.

Everett, Wash, March 2.-Twenty-
three are known to be dead and 25 are
missing and score are injured as a
result Of the avalanche which swept
down the mountainside above Yelling
ton at the west portal Of the Cascade
tunnel early this morning and brushed
two Great Northern trains, one the
westbound Spokane express and the
other an overland mail train, off the
narrow ledge Of the high line, hurting
them to the bottom Of the canyon, 20
feet below.
Coupled to the Spokane express was
Superintendent ]. H. O'Neill's private
car. This was carried over the preci-
pice with the rest of the train.
Three locomotives, four powerful
electric motors, used to haul trains
through the Cascade tunnel, the depot
at Wellington and a water tank were
also carried away by the sli e and bur-
led under tons of debris.
Twenty-three bodies have been re-
covered, rs persons are missing, and
15 or 20 were injured in the avalanche
that thundered down upon the passen-
gers as they slept.
Seventy people were aboard the Spo-
kane express when the slide struck it.
Forty of these were passengers who
were sleeping in the Pullmans. The
others we're workmen who had been
engaged in a battle against the snow
blockade and who were using the day
coaches for bunk cars.
The last report received tonight
from Scenic says that the rescuers are
still struggling with ice and snow en-
deavoring to release the imprisoned
passengers and recover the remaining
dead.
Reports that shouts and cries for
help have been heard coming from the
mass of wreckage gives rise to the
hope that many of those imprisoned
are still alive.
Several undertakers left for Scenic
tonight. 1t will be necessary to en-
balm the bodies, as the snow blockades
between Wellington and Everett have
shut off all traffic except by foot. If
the bodies are brought out soon they
will have to be transported on sledges.

ANOTHER DIS
ASTROUS FIRE
Graves Meat Market and Cannon
Building Destroyed by Fire
Saturday Morning.

A fire. which started in the Can
non Building on Central Ave. a little
before o'clock Saturday morning,
resulted in destroying that building
and Graves Meat Market which ad-
joined it. When the fire was dis
covered it had already spread through
the entire Cannon building, and by
the time the citizens were aroused
and the chemical engine appeared, ii
was beyond control. A high wind
was blowing at the time the ire start
ed, but luckily it slbsided. Al
one time it, was thought that the
Lewellin Drug Store would be de-
stroyed, and AT several times it
started to burn but was soon put out
by the tire fighters. 1t was only
through hard fighting that this
building was saved. Both the
Marshall warehouse and the Husband
law office would have been destroyed
in case the LeWellin store shouIC
have burned. The heat was so in
tense that the large plate glass win
dows in the Tampkin block across
the street were broken and one plate
glass window was destroyed in the
Toggery building. The chief, Dick
McQuitty, and the many citizens
who assisted him, are to be commended
for their good work. The origin OF
the fire is unknown as the Cannon
building was unocupled.

that A. &. Graves will erect stone
building on the sight, to be for his
butcher shop.
