Many railroad companies are
equipping exhibitions cars for the
purpose of attracting settlers to the
lands adjacent to their lines. This
form of exploitation was originated
by the Great Northern Railway,
when it first set out to make the
resources of the Northwest known.
For some time this road has had
two cars devoted to Washington
busy touring the east and middle
west. News bulletins sent out
from St. Paul recently are to the
effect that they are attracting more
visitors than ever. People want to
know about Washington and the
Great Northern is doing all it can
to supply them with information.

wife had for the time being saved his

in her tent, endeavoring to think out
some plan to prevent the execution.
No one suspected the relationship be-

she did not wish it to be known. 1t

During the evening she gave all Or

her tent, she mounted her horse, that
she had picketed without the line Of

an interview of half an hour she de-

Between dawn and sunrise an or

Sonora Watriss watched for an oppor'

The international amateur boxing tourna-
ment, which was stopped at Madison
Square Garden last week, was held with
cut interruption at the National Sporting
Club of America last night Six contests
were decided. and Great Britain and the
boys OF the United States divided the hon
ors between them. The only two repre-
sentatives of Canada were beaten, one on
points and one on knockout
a crowd of fully twenty-five hundred per-
sons was present to witness the sport. and
was we'll repaid. All the contests were
fast. and the boys fought WITH the fury
typical of amateur athletes. For all the
speed and fury. the men paid attention 10

shot over to the head and jaw in finished
style. RUDE Warnes. five times champion
of England. was also good fighter. lie
is a strong. rugged fighter and also cool
and collected under fire.
1t was regretted by the spectators that
William Beckman did not meet Warnes.
and that Hufnagle, the American cham
pion. was unable TO meet Erskine. Both
Warnes and Erskine refused 20 box twice
in the same night They based their refusal
on the ground that they had only agreed
to meet one champion. and did not agree
to enter any elimination series.
William Spengler. the amateur metro

defeating Frank Parks. the thirty-seven-
year-old champion OF England. reducing
