A convention to consider the ques-
ton of immigration, as it will affect
the Pacific Coast following the open
ing of the Panama Canal, has been
called to meet at Tacoma, February
21-22. The governors of Washing
ton, Oregon, California and Idaho,
also the Lieutenant Governor of
Canada, have been invited. 1t is
hoped to secure the endorsement of
the bill introduced by United States
Senator Brown to create a Division
of Information, under the direction
of the Department of Commerce and
Labor, the function of which shall
he to gather, from all available
sources, useful information regard
ing the resources, products and
characteristics of each state, publish
such information in the different
languages and distribute it among
the admitted aliens. The idea is
to promote a movement which will
induce the right sort of immigrants
to come to the Pacific Coast and
then take care of them when they
get here. Many of the delegates to

will be held at Portland, the same
week, will 60 to Tacoma for the i'm

light in making things and the
speaker argued that these boys should
not be chained to a desk and text
book when their nature demanded
such training as is afforded in the
manual training work shops. He
made many practical suggestions as
to how these departments could be
successfully placed in the rural
schools and a trained teacher be
given the supervision of the one
room schools of several districts.
Another good suggestion was the
serving Of hot lunches at noon to
the children who would otherwise
bring the dinner pals. He gave
many examples where this had been
done successfully with wonderfully
beneficial results. Fifty-seven rural
schools in Eastern Washington are
now using the hot lunch and last
week it was inaugurated in twelve
schools in Stevens county. Its
patrons are enthusiastic wherever It
is tried.

American people should get above

to appreciate the finer things of life,
the beautiful in nature and man

standard, he believes that all of US

Mrs. E. M. Sly, representing the

PROFIT IN POULTRY
The Western Washington EXP

The Western Washington Exper-
iment Station, at Puyallup, has
demonstrated the fact that poultry
raising is profitable industry in
Western Washington. In the spring
Of 1910, poultry plant was estab-
lished at the station and $50 hens
purchased. At the end of the year
it was found that the products sold
had paid the original cost of the
hens, the cost of the plant and labor,
which amounted to 81, $50, the feed
$917, and the stock on hand was
worth $40, together with a net
cash balance of S163.
In view of the fact that the people
of this state pay a million dollars
annually for poultry products that
are shipped into this state, is it not
worth while to do something thru
the schools to interest the children
in poultry raising? Every dollar
sent out of this state for these pro-
ducts could just as well be kept at
home if the people of the state
would take an intelligent interest in
this industry. Any teacher in the
state can obtain information on
this subject from Mr.. George Sever
ance, Superintendent of Western
Washington Experiment Station, at
Puyallup.

Asks that School Funds be Loaned
to Washington Farmers to
Aid Development

OtCO Ease Deat the pOlltlclanS to
it, when he declared way back in
July, for the Establishment of a de-
partment of agriculture in this state,
and that arid lands he irrigated un-
der state aid, and that logged off
lands might be cleared under the
same plan, and farmers and settlers
allowed to pay back to the permanent
school fund in small iustallments
covering long time.
In speaking of this plan, Mr.. Case
said:
I have just returned from the
Southwest Development convention,
held at Olympia, and while many
good things were said on the logged
off land situation and between five
and eight thousand dollars expended
for railroad fares, all admitted the
necessity for state cooperation in
solving these two great questions.
Several Middle Western States
loan the state permanent school
fund to farmers on first mortgages.
In this state we have over nine mil
lion dollars invested in low rate mu-
nicipal bonds, bringing in an aver
age interest to the state of about four
and one-quarter per cent per annum.
When the remainder of our school
lands are sold, this fund will be in
creased to nearly one hundred mil
lion dollars.
"Supposing four hundred farmers
of King County wanted, each, ten
IT, twenty acres of their land cleared,
why should not the state accept first
mortgages on these fine agricultural
lands and clear them, and allow the
farmers to pay back to the state in
small installments? Why should
not four hundred farmers of Pierce
County desiring their farms irriga-
ted be allowed to create irrigation
districts, and the state irrigate their
prairie lands and accept first mort
cages on the lands as security?
'Irrigating projects in Eastern
Washington should Immediately be
handled under the above plan. For
instance the great Palouse irrigation
ditch might be finished with state
school funds, and the stability and
permanency of this fund made more
secure than ever.
Under this system of utilizing
this fund from the sale OF school
lands, no bond issue is necessary,
and the taxes of the people would
not be increased a single dollar.
with proper limitations andregu-
lations these projects might be safe
ly carried out and our funds bring
back two fold benefit. Certainly
first class improved agricultural
land is just as good security as low
rate municipal bonds, and thus we
might develop Eastern and Western
Washington rapidly, and take care
of the great influx of people that
will come from the opening of the
Panama Canal"

AS an evidence of the industrial
opportunities of the Northwest, the
showing of the Fisher FIGURING
Mills company for the first six
months of operation is notable
example. On January l, this Sc
attic concern numbered 100000
consumers of its products, which
were being handled by 4 200 dealers
in 600 different towns on the Pa
cific Coast. When the Fishers first
announced their intention to build,
two years ago, some of the people
already in the milling business tried
to discourage them, contending that
the field was already overcrowded.
But model plant was erected and
modern methods pursued from the
Jump. Despite the fact that general
conditions have not been their best,
the Fisher FIGURING Mills have been
kept running at full capacity, "a
hours a day, for six months and
have every prospect to continuing
so-indicatingthatth the Pacific North
west is a good place to embark in
business if you know your game.
To the voters of the Port of Sc
attic District will be submitted next
month, the biggest issue, in the way
of harbor development, that has yet
arisen on the Pacific Coast. If rati-
fed, the famous Bush Terminals,
of New York, will be duplicated on
Puget Sound, within the corporate
limits of Seattle. 1t provides for
the issuance of bonds up to So, $780,
600, the proceeds of which are to be
spent for a site, buildings and piers,
to constitute gigantic warehouse
property. A large Eastern concern
stands ready to lease this plant for
thirty years, guaranteeing the in
terest and providing for a sinking
fund, so that at the end of the lease
the district owns the property, debt
free. Such facility will make Sc
attic the real Pacific Coast terminal
of the Panama Canal.

As the youngest possibly of this re-

ome in for perhaps more attention
than many Of the older figures in it.
Strictly speaking. he belongs to the
Carnegie group of millionaires, men
nership and helped to push along to-
ward fortune, though belonging to a
younger generation than himself. The
career of Schwab has been almost
meteOric.
Andrew Carnegie once wanted to
cross a mountain in Pennsylvania.
and a youngster offered to take him
across for so cents. Carnegie thought
25 cents was enough. but the young
ster held out for so cents. Mr.. Car
negie afterward said that he gave in
not because the trip was worth 80
cents, but because he had to get to
the other side of the mountain. The
youngster was Charles Nj. Schwab.
One of the conditions Mr.. Carnegie
exacted when he sold out to the steel
corporation was that Charles NJ.
Schwab should be It's first president.
Mr.. Schwab's rise through the differ
ent places in Mr.. Carnegie's steel
works Is well known. 1t was in 1896
that he was elected as president Of
the Carnegie company, sixteen years
after he had finished school.
There have been few millionafres
better known than Mr.. Schwab. He
has been received by the crowned
heads Of Europe. and his influence
has been farreaching. He retired as
president Of the steel corporation a
millionaire many times over. Today
he is at the head Of the Bethlehem
Steel company and is still a command
ing figure in the steel business Of this
country. Not long ago he made a trip

1t wasn't much of a fire. The seven

the course of a quarter of an hour the
open doors and windows had freed
the house of smoke. Mr.. Bowser sat
IN the lounge, with red eyes and singed
