Using specialists of New York. In
an interview given out in Seattle
recently, Mr.. Morton said that the
Alaska Y ukon-Pacific exposition

any previous event. He predicted
that now, since the money markets
have fully recovered, there will be
an ever increasing financial tide

A dispatch from Usk to the Inland
Herald says: A considerable number
OF Chinese pheasants, which were liber-
ated last summer by the State Game

Following the example of several
we'll known eastern colleges, the
University of Washington will es-
tablish free correspondence school
embracing all subjects taught in its
various departments. To make
this possible the legislature has
been asked to appropriate $4,000
and the indications are that the
allowance will be made. This will
make it possible for persons un-
able to matriculate at the uniyer-
sity to get the benefit Of it's instruc-
ton, no matter in what part of the
state they live.

Washington Apples Becoming Famous

From far South Africa comes a
call for Washington apples. A
fruit dealer in johannesburg writes
to the Goldendale Apple Growers
Association, placing an order for
10000 boxes. He writes he has
learned of the excellence of Pacific
Northwest fruit and is anxious to
introduce it to his trade. This trial
order may result in wide market
in Africa for the product of North

Snaps

II wish could sell my farm" said he,
AS he stretched himself meath an elm tree
To let the horses, painting from heat.
Breathe awhile in this cool retreat:
"It's too hard work, and there's too much to do
And work work, work, yet never am through
.sThere's Merchant Brown-what q snap has he
These long hot days; from care he Is free
He rises at six and goes to the store.
And there reads the morning papers DER;
No tiresome chores when the day is spent
A merchants life is but sweet content"
Took down his ledger and looked DER.
And turning to Billy slowpay's amount
He carefully added the whole account;
IAN even fifty" he grimly said,
And marked it Paid" for Billy was dead.
And Jim Softsnap and Promisin' Joe,
And dozen others he put In row.
And he said to himself, "What chump I've
been
To let those fellows ever get in.
A nd what would give to leave today
And HE to the farm for q permanent stay"
Then he thought of the fruit on the apple tree,
The peaches and plums that used to be;
The melons fine and the garden green
The wild grapes down in the old ravine,
And the thick. sweet cream that he used to
skiml
To eat with the berries they saved for him.
And his head bent low on his weary arm,
AS he sighed for the days on the good old farm !;
Yes. wished he was there. for the thoughts that
stirred,
Brought only flowers and songs Of bird,
And sunshiny days-one long. sweet rest,
For the farmers life. of all, was best
How strange 1t all Is, and yet can 1t be
Our road Is all rocks and the others free7
Is life to the cheerful just what 1t may seem,
Or Is the big snap that we see but dream?

he used to hate the idle rich,
And often spoke with dread
About the fearful dangers which
Were looming up ahead;
He saw time when blood would flow,
And anarchy be rife:
But that was when his funds were low
He had the luck year ago
To get a wealthy wife.
He used TO say the millionaires
Were blinded by their greed:
He thought the world and its affairs
Were managed wrong, indeed;
He saw the time when class and mass
Would wage bloody strife.
When chaos would prevail Alas,
Since than change has come to pass;
He has a wealthy wife.
He cannot understand today
Why those who toll complain:
The ills he feared are cleared away,
No signs of strife remain
Content to let things drift along,
He lives an easy life,
Forgetting, if sometimes the strong
Cypress the weak, that it is wrong:
He has a wealthy wife.
