will inaugurate fast passenger
steamship service between Tacoma
and Oriental points. Large, fast pas
senger steamers will be built by the
Osaka Shosen Kaisha to supplement
the six modern freight steamers now
operating between Tacoma, Yokoha-
ma and Manila. Traffic to and from
the Orient has increased SO rapidly
during the last two years that Presi-
dent Earring has ordered the st. Paul
railways ocean terminals at Tacoma
doubled in size. The first additional
warehouse will have two acres of floor
space. Shipments to the Orient and
Australia from Puget Sound have al
most doubled since the st. Paul rails

Indian department in permitting the
red men to make lieu selections from
lands now occupied and improved by
numerous settlers on the Flathead
Indian reservation is assured by the
departure of G. H. Foot, a Kalispell
attorney, for Poison, where he will
consult with the homesteaders in
volved in an effort to bring the mat
ter properly to the attention of the
department of the interior. While the
lands have not actually been filed
upon by the settlers, they declare
they were encouraged to establish a
bona fide residence in the belief that
the government would ultimately
open the lands for homestead entry.
Recently the Indians have been ex-
hibiting unrest, and have applied for
lieu selections, and steps have been
taken by the authorities to grant
these selections. The settlers fear
that if the policy is carried out all
persons holding these unscheduled
lands will be jeopardized, and vigor-
GUS stand will be made to forestall
such action.

DR.. J. N. Tate, superintendent OF
the Minnesota School for the Deaf, at
the Convention of the Minnesota Deaf
association held at Faribault, Mimi,
last week, had the following to say
regarding future plans of the school,
and the training of the deaf along ag-
ricultural lines:
II am of the opinion that the school
is better organized today than it ever
has been before. The Board of Con-
troll has lately purchased a small farm
adjoining the school. This purchase
was entirely voluntary on the part OF
the board. We expect to teach poul.
try raising, agriculture, horticulture
bee culture and dairying, all in mod
est way. 1t will be my policy to train
pupils not to rush for the factory
We want to get into lines where man
hood has the best possible chance Of
asserting itself. We hope to continue
using the advantages to be gained
from the extension department of the
agricultural college. Some farm in
dustries have Jagged little, but nov
the conditions are remedied."
