elected superior Judge for the dis
trict composed of Kittitas, Yakima
and Franklin counties. In 1904,
he was elected to the State Supreme
court as a Republican. Last fall he
was reelected. Judge Rudkin was
offered the Eastern Washington
judgeship several months ago, but
refused. On second urging, he ac-
cepted. TO fill the place he vaca-
ties at Olympia, several well known

MANY HOMESEEKERS COMING

Representatives of land companies
operating in Chicago say there has
never been such wide spread inter
est in northwestern farm and or
chard land as at present and they
predict that every train will be filled
to the guards with homeseekers as
soon as the settlers rates go INTO ef-
feet next March.
Railway officials say that the
exhibit cars containing northwest
ern products, travelling through In
diana, Michigan, Ohio. Pennsylvania
New York and other eastern states,
have aroused deep interest and
there will be a heavy movement OF
prospective settlers from points east
of Chicago.
Emigration agents for the North
ern Pacific and the Great Northern
Railway companies stationed In
Chicago, express the opinion which
they declare is based upon the num-
Der of genuine inquiries and per-
sonal interviews, that the movement
of homeseekers this year will eclipse
that of any previous year, adding
that the requests for information
are from men and women who have
money to invest.

TRIBUTE NO THE NORTHWEST

DR.. Woods Hutchinson. one of
the foremost writer's of the day has
just issued new volume on Travel

ment to the Northwest. In part he
says: A country with green noun
tains, of dazzling, snow-tipped
peaks, of grass, of moss, of fern,
which knows neither the barren
ness of winter nor the BROWNIES of
summer: a land which has all the
best and most invigorating quail
tiles of the cradle of our Teutonic
race with none of its savagery or
extremes-this new cradle of the
blonde Aryan race centers in Ore
gon, extending Northward to Brit
ish Columbia and southwark to
northern California, the home of
the giant redwoods. Itisthe charmed
land of the American continent,
where temperate sun, a mild eli
mate and fertile soil give. man
the stimulous OF the green and rain
swept north, with the luxurious re-
turns for moderate effort of the tenn
ing tropics. The most restful and
soothing climate in the world, the
land where it is always afternoon :,
the ideal home for the blonde races
upon hislAmerican continent, and
not half appreciated yet at its full
value. If you have never seen
Oregon. Washington and British
Columbia in the summer, or Cali
fornia in the winter. you lack i'm
portant qualifications for imaging-
ing what the climate of heaven may
be like"

tiers. The annual report of High
way Commissioner H. l., Bowlby
recommends the abandonment of
ten state roads already authorized
and substituting new system of
his own design. He also asks for
$3.50, 900 to carry out his work

Tax PAYERS.

Notice is hereby given to the tax pay
ers of Worcester County that it is abso-
lutely necessary for the Collectors to be
settled with for the taxes due for the
year 1910. These taxes are now due
and in arrears and the law provides that
the Collectors shall proceed the LIST
day of July to collect all amounts re-
naming unpaid at the time on their
books. by advertisement for sale of the
property against which the tax is levied.
Every person or corporation in the coun-
ty to whom any part of this levy was
made wants and needs their money and
should be paid. 1t is impossible for the
County Commissioners to meet these
demands unless prompt payments are
made by the Collectors. For several
weeks we have scarcely received enough
money to pay for labor on the roads and
nothing toward the unpaid levy, most Of
which is due the Roads or School Com
missions or on draft accepted for them.
The tax Collectors will be required to
use every effort to comply with the
above request.

sold Hickory's" caustio Advice TO
James Buchanan.
Stories Of Andrew jackson are likely
10 be pointed and to have practical
application. as do the stories told OF
Franklin. In Mr.. J. w. Forney's IAN
ecdotes of Public Men" there is given
story as II was told by James
Buchanan at his own table. Although
It contained reproof from the presi-
dent to one who was TO succeed him.
II is said to have been favorite story
at that board.
Shortly after Mr.. Buchanan's return
from Russia in 1884. TO the court Of
which country he had been sent by
Jackson in 1882. and Immediately fol-
lowing his election TO the senate he
called upon sold Hickory" With fair
English lady whom he desired to pre-.
sent to the head of the American ma
ton.
Leaving her in the reception room
downstairs. he assembled to the presi-
dents private quarters. where he
found General Jackson unshaved. un-
kempt. in his dressing gown. with his
slippered feet on the fender. before
blazing wood fire. smoking a corncob
pipe of the old southern pattern.
He stated his object. and General
Jackson said that he would be very
glad TO meet the lady whom Mr..
Buchanan desired to present
Mfr. Buchanan was always careful Of
his personal appearance and In some
respects was sort OF masculine Miss
Fribbe. addicted to spotless cravats
and huge collars. rather proud of a
foot small for n man of his large stat
ure and to the last of his life what the
ladies' would call "a very good figure"
Having just returned from visit to
the fashionable circles OF the cont
nent after years of thorough inter-
course with the etiquette of one OF the
stateliest courts in Europe. he was
somewhat shocked at the idea of the
president meeting the eminent English
lady in such a guise and ventured to
ask If General Jackson did not intend
to change his attire Thereupon the
old warrior rose. with his long pipe In
his hand. and. deliberately knocking
the ashes out of the bowl. said - bis

The man who became president In
1857 was fond Of saying that this re-
mark OF Andrew Jackson humiliated
him more than any other rebuke he
had ever received
He walked downstairs to meet the
lady in his charge. and In very short
time President Jackson entered the
room. dressed In full snit of black.
cleanly shaved. with his stubborn
white hair forced back from his fore
head. and. advancing to the beautiful
visitor. he greeted her with almost
kingly grace.
AS she left the White House she said

LIFE OF THE WORLD.
Traditions That Il Will Last Only ST,
Thousand Years.

tUouodUu FEARS.
There is general and widespread
notion. which the curious investigator
will find scattered, throughout both
medieval and modern literature, that
the world will last 6.00O years from
the date of Its creation. An inscrip-
ton in one Of Martin Luther's books
reads as follows: Elijah. the prophet.
said that the world had existed 1900
years before the law was given (from
Adam TO M0sesl. would exist 1000
years under the Mosaic law from
Moses TO Christi and 1000 years under
the Christian dispensation. and then 1t
would be burned"
In the Eirurinn account of the crea
ton tby SuidasI there is a similar ira
dition. "'rhe Creator spent 6.O00 years
In creation. and 6O00 more are allotted
to the earth"
In the black letter edition of Foxes
"Acts and Monuments" C632) there
Is whole sermon given with the
6.000 year limit OF the earth's duration
as text.
Some writer's contend that the six
days" referred TO In Holy Writ really
mean 5000 years and that the 'sev.
