RECORD MONTH FOR
ARRIVAL OF SETTLERS

Seattle, April 1.-Two colonists'
specials from the East, over the Harri,
man and Great Northern lines, with
200 passengers aboard, completed the
bulk of travel to the North Pacific
coast on the low rate of fare in effect
March 10 to April 10, and finished
what traffic officials believe to be rec
ord month of the arrival of actual new
settlers, few of whom have gone into
the cities.
It is expected that colonists who are
using their stop-over privileges in Mon
tana and Idaho will come to Seattle
in small groups for the next ten days.
Among the many inquiries received
by the railroads. while the low rates
were in force fibre was not one in a
hundred, passenger officials declare,
that was for opportunities in the cities.
All the travellers we're bent on buying
Washington lands and settling at once
upon their newly acquired property.
A total of 10000 colonists is the esti.
mate placed by passenger traffic Of
ficials on the number of colonists
brought into the state. There was no
reduced rate on the return tickets, and
it is claimed that nearly all the strang.
ers therefore expect to buy land and
settle in Washington, and will not re-
turn to the East.

DEMOCRATS PLAN REVISION
OF AGRICULTURAL SCHEDULE

Washington. April 15.-Encouraged
by the smooth working of their new
legislative machine which today began
to grind, Democratic leaders of the
House planned to extend their tariff
revision program.
Until now the only tariff tinkering
determined upon included Canadian
reciprocity, the free list to benefit
farmers opposed to the reciprocity
bill as it stands, and the wool and
cotton schedules, but now it has been
determined to revise the agricultural
schedule.
Chairman Underwood, of the ways
and means committee, said the house
at the rate of progress would COM
plete the business outlined now much
earlier than generally anticipated and
that other tariff schedules would be
taken up after the wool and cotton
schedules have been revised.
The agricultural schedule will be at
tackled by the Democrats because of
the high cost of living, and an effort
will be made to reduce the duties on
those food products that are most
necessary to the public.

GOVERNORS REQUESTS
FOR ALASKA APPROVED

Washington, April 15.-The Secre-
tary of the Interior has received and
approved the special recommendations
of Gov. Clark, of Alaska, as to the
most efficient manner of expanding
the $4,000 appropriation for the sup
preston of the liquor traffic among
the Indians in the territory.
The governments plan includes the
re-establishment of the Indian police
system, which was discontinued be-
cause of the failure of Congress to ap-
propriate for it. Eighteen of the In
dams formerly employed in the work
will be restored to duty. The original
number was twenty-one.
Gov. Clark also has conferred with
the attorney-general regarding the
four judicial districts of Alaska, and
Lit is announced that the salaries of
many minor court employees VIII be
increased and that none will be re.
duced.

Market for Farmers.

City people would rather deal direct
with the farmers when they are sure
they will get pure, fresh and whole
some stun. says . writer in an ex-
change. One Of my neighbors has
for the past four years sold all the
eggs Of her farm to city people. She
IL sending about 80 dozen a week to
Chicago this winter and gets I'VE
cents above the retail cost She has
averaged 80 cents per dozen for her
eggs, the consumer paying express
charges, while the average price at
our home town has been about %
cents. Pays, doesn't It?
This woman never buys eggs except
from two neighbors whose reliability
she knows, but she takes all they sell
and makes a profit Of about Is cents
dozen on them. OF course, she does
not tell anybody what she gets from
the city consumers. She packs the
eggs in paper boxes with partitions
forming little compartment for each
egg. She usually ships from four to
vix dozen In q box.

CANADA WILL SOON PASS
RECIPROCITY AGREEMENT

Ottawa, Ont, April IA favorable
report on the reciprocity agreement
with the United States is looked for
by members of the Dominion govern
ment. The rapid progress being made
at Washington and the prediction that
the agreement will be before the SEN
ate by next Thursday, have been noted
with satisfaction. Settlement Of the
reciprocity issue in Canada, they be-
lieve, now depends primarily upon the
action at Washington. Any assurance
that congress will ratify the agree
ment may be coupled, they say. with
the assurance that the Canadian par
lament will do its part. The govern
ment, backed by majority OF over
forty in the house, is pledged and
anxious to put the agreement through
as soon as the conservative opposition
permits vote.

The testing Of seed corn, while al

curry dropped to 10 degrees below

from ten to eighteen degrees below

out I parallel in recent years and
should give the corn growers no little
concern.
Three weeks ago this station wrote
to prominent corn growers In al
parts Of the state for samples Of corr

seeds in each pot and then sift fine

Keep the glass rather close till they

Protect the frames from sudden

STATE GOVERNMENT
BY COMMISSION
NEW SYSTEM OF LEGISLATION
ADVOCATED BY GOV
ERNoR HAY.
Present Plan Declared to Be MOST
BunaIesome and Least Effective OF
All Departments Of State Govern
ment-WouId Have Commission OF
Twenty-Five Well Paid Men.

Spokane, April 1S.-Declaring that
he considered the present system OF
legislation the most bunglesome ana
least effective Of all departments OF
state government, Marion E. Hay, gov
ernor of the state of Washington, IN
an address before the political club OF
Whitman college at Walla Walla'
Wash, recently, stated he would favor,
in place of the legislature, commits
sion of twenty-five men who woulo
meet biennially and devote their time
to the framing of laws, being paid sal
aries of $1,000 term and remaining
in session until the work is finished,
adding:
1T takes month for members OF
the legislature to get acquainted with
each other, and most bills are passed
with little consideration. It seems to
me that the legislature goes at its
work like lot of schoolboys playing
football For the first. five or six
weeks hundreds of bills are brought in
and, o it were, piled on the floor, and
then the last week. there is rush for
the pile and each man grabs one,
seemingly intent on getting it through
and getting his name on it. Many i'm.
portant measures have been lost in the
scramble of the last few days, and
much time wasted"
Governor hays statement is signiti'
cant following the recent adoption in
Spokane of the charter form of gov
eminent and agitation for the same
plan in Walla Walla and North Yaki.
ma Tacoma has been under the com.
mission form of government for over
a year, and Seattle, the metropolis OF
the state, recently placed it's legisla'
tive powers in the hands Of nine coun.
cilmen, chosen at large, where former.
ly there were two councilmen from
each ward. The Tacoma and Spokane
commission governments are based
upon charters which include the best
features Of the Des Moines, Galveston
and other pioneer cities in the meve
ment. Governor Hay was formerly a
resident of Spokane and is an enthus
last over the commission government
plan.
