Evidence Of Springtime.

Sunday mOyning there were some
evidences that the spring time was no
far in the distance the birds were
heard chipping their utterancas of
cheer All about town many re-
marked that if these messengers of
the warmsr season were to be accept
cd one might begin 20 get ready TO
plow and to plant. The Temperature
went away up until an overcoat was
really not in demand in order to
enjoy comfort. The favorable change
in weather conditions caused many
TO be out during the afternoon walk
ing, as it was fully warm enough for
persons TO enjoy such recreation
After all. the little birds were mis-
taken as there is sure to be some real
winter wes&Aer encountered before The
winter Is declared off.

in the White House.
It was Frank l. Dirgley. editor of
the Lewiston, Mo-. Journal whose in
flusnce unqu sstIonably was rssponosi-
BILE for Eugene Hale's withdrawal from
the Senatorial contest. Mr.. Dingley
is one of the sblest Progressive Re
pub,ieans in the United States. He
is warm personal friend of Theodore
Roosevelt. IN an editorial in the Lew
iston Journal written by Mr.. Dlngley
this has just appeared;
1T is perfectly cnsddble that Roose-
welt will stand for Taft in 1912 as
Taft in 1910 stands for the rsdmp-
ton of his neglected pledge of 1908
and for faithfulness to the Pirohot as
distinguished from the Balhner policy
AS Taft's plumbers brought on the

dence-hls correction of himself will
do much to correct the party misled

In his editorial Mr.. Dingley might
have included with Theodore Roose-
Welt the Western Progressive leaders.
1t is probable what he is writing
that if the quoted editorial extract
had ibeen written by Theodore Roose-
Welt it would have been published
in precisely the same spirit, with
some changes of letter to make it a
little less personal to the writer.

TO PENSION roll
House Passes Sulloway Bill to
Pay all Civil War Vet
Grams.

: Washington, Jan. 10.-The House of
Representatives to-day passed the Sui
loway general pension bill which
grants pensions ranging from $12 to
So r,onth to all soldiers who ssrv-
ed ninety days in the United States
army in the Civil War or sixty days
in the Mexican War and who have
reached the age of sixty-two years.
The bill adds about $1,000. 900 a year
to the pension roll.
There were comparatively few mem
bers who were not anxious for an
opportunity to pay tribute TO tho old
soldier. The few who announced that
they were going TO oppose the MEASURE
were equally anxious for an oppor-
tunity TO explain why they were doing
so. Speaker Cannon himself took the
floor at the close of the debate and
made an earnest plea for the pas
sage of the bill. The bill was pass
ed by PIP to So.
Opposition to the measure was ex-
prsseed by some members on the
gruond that its terms ware too gem
eral. 1t provides for tho psnsiondng
OF all Union soldiers regardless of dis
ability. the only requirement being
that they shall have attained thu age
sixty-two years.
The general scale of pensions fix
ed in the new bill according TO age
is as follows: Sixty-two years. SIS .
month; sixty-five years, $40 a month
seventy years s25 month and sew
enty-fivs years $50 a month.
1t was declared by the advocates
of the bill that 100 veterans are dy-
ing every twenty-four hours.

the matter of furnishing seed

Messrs. Tscharner, Berry, Finch,
Gross and Potwin, were appoint

ing that body to take favorable
action, in order that the farmers
may have seed enough this seas

By United Press
Tacoma, Feb. 16. The Olym-
pic Limited is announced today
as the name of the steel train de
luxe with which the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul railroa d
system will inaugurate it's fast
limited Chicago-Tacoma passen-
ger train service on May 28, SER
wing besides the terminals Mil
waukee. ST, Paul, Minneapolis,
Butte, Spokane and Seattle. The
statement has been made by
President Erling and other Off
GERS that this will be the finest
train in the world.
Several hours, perhaps five,
will be clipped from the present
72-hour service between Chicago
and the Puget Sound maintained
by the Hill and the Hartman
railroads. 1t was also announced
today by Traffic Manager Calkins
of the Chicago, Milwaukee e
Puget Sound, that on the same
date the second transcontinental
steel train will be placed in ser
vice, giving two solid steel trains
each way daily. This second
train has been named the Col
umbian. The present Milwau-
kee overland train will be main
tanned to handle local business.
While not officially announced,
it is believed the Columbian will
be operated in two sections one
OF which will do down the Col
umbia river over Hartman rails
to Portland. Spokane connec-
tons will be made over the
North Coast line (Harriman)
now building from Marengo. 1t
will be two years in June since
the Milwaukee established its
freight and | cal passenger SER
vice through to Tacoma.
Delayed equipment and last
summers depression caused the
postponemt of the establishment
of the steel transcontinentaI pas
senger service until early next
summer. In the meantime the
ilWaukee's roadbed has been
pounded down and made ready
for fast service. The company's
western commissary department,
established here. is larg-
er than the Great Northern

they never relinquished their title 10
that part of the country but that il
was lei 10 the government by lease.
They claim title interest to the whole
western section, with It's many pros

business session and not an old time
