stead laws. There will be no reg
istration and no drawing. First to

selections and know to a reasonable
certainty that they will be able to
secure the land filed upon. All the
expenses of going out to register,
the delay of waiting for the draw
ing, and the additional delay of
waiting several months before
making entry are done away with
under this system.
Those who have made settle
ment on this land prior to Dec. 10,
1909, the date of the secretary's
ordea, or who may make settlement
between March 1 and March 81.
will have preferred right to make
entry on the lands covered bv their
settlement at any time within three
months after March 81, 1910.
Filings must be made at the
United States land office at Glas-
gov, Mont, on and after March "a.

pounded by the Missouri river on
the south, by the international
boundary on the north, by the Da-
kota boundary on the east. by the
Fort Peck Indian reservation and
range 81 east on the west.
The lands can readily be reached
from Culbertson, on the Great
Northern, which has good hotel
accommodations and livery outfits.
1t can also be reached from Balm
vile.

where farming has been carried on

When the thirteenth census is
completed Washington will have
three cities in the hundred thou
sand class. In 1900 it had none.
At that time there were 80 cities in
the United States having more
than 100000 population. Ohio
and Pennsylvania boasted four.
New York, II New Jersey, Massachu-
sets and Missouri had three each.
Illinois and Indiana had one apiece,
while the state of Iowa had none.
With Seattle. Spokane Tacoma all
in the one hundred thousand class
Washington will rank with be first
half dozen states in the matter of
urban population.

Washineton's Growth

More than 200 new industries
were established in Washington
last year, and more than $4,000
newcomers were brought into the
state through the publicity work Of
125 commercial bodies. Almost
100000 was expended in prose-
cutting the campaign.
These figures are but a slight
index of the efficiency of the pow
erful forces working for the devel-
opment of the riches of natural re-
sources to which Washington is
heir, the peopling of her fertile val
leys, the uncovering of her wealth
of ore.
Net results never can be sum-
married in statistics. So far reach
ing is the touch of these fingers of
publicity thrown nation wide that
figures, however accurately COM
piled and however encouragingly.
are altogether inadequate to indi-
cate the scope of this mighty influ-
ence for good.
That the value of the work is
keenly appreciated throughout the
state is indicated by the announce
ment that these 1875 commercial
organizations in Washington have
an enrolled membership of 1902
workers. And that the bodies are
but beginning to reach their great
est sphere of power is proved by
addition of 1895 new members dur
ing the year just closed.
With this army of business men
enrolled in the ranks, here is en-
ergy enough to accomplish any
thing in the development of the
great Northwest. No ideal can be
too lofty for realization, no plans
too broad for accomplishment.

Railroads have adopted the view
that freight rates are creatures Of
the law. Their former contention
was that tariffs were subject to
contract between the carrier and
shipper. The new conception was
pronounced by the Great Northern
Railway Go. recently before the
supreme court of Washington, in
taking an appeal from a judgment
won by Snohomish county log
ging rates. To resist this charge
the railway adopted the arguments

Clinton. Mo. Feb.

Former State Senator Clement Ca
bell Dickinson of Clinton was elect
ed to-day as the successor of the
late Congressman David A. DeArm
ond, by majority of 1888 over Phi
S. Griffith of Greenfield, his Repub
lican opponent. The Democratic ma
jority is the largest ever recorded
in the Sixth District.
Mr.. Dickinson received 1923 more
votes than did De Almond in 1908, in
dicating that about 800 Republicans
voted for him. 1t is estimated that
about 10000 votes, or 80 per cent
of the total in the district, were
polled.
The result is believed by Demo
cratic leaders to portend Republican
disaster in the election next Novem
