Evolution.

The country Is now in the grip Of a
great change. Everywhere there is
tremendous ferment. Old standards
are being dashed down and new and
better ones erected. Success does not
mean the same thing today that It
did five years ago. That old saw, "Hon-
esty is the best policy" has ceased to
be food for mirth, and the people no
longer grin their admiration of trick
cry. Fairness and fair play have come
to be regarded as essentials, and 1t is
no longer smart to gain advantage by
underhand means. Manhood is now
rated above money and a good name
above high position. And each day
sees greater insistence upon the new
ideas.-GeOrge Creel.

In 1890, as Register of United States
Land Office at Waterville, held all
lieu land selections by the Northern
Pacific Railroad void-a decision sus-
tanned by the Department of the In
terror, which would have secured
homes to thousands of settlers, but
were lost later through ruling of Sec
rotary of the Interior permitting new
selections of lieu lands from Lake SUI
perior to Puget Sound to date back
to the original illegal selections.
In 1898, tried through appeals to
newspapers, public men, members OF
congress, to defeat bill giving the
railroad the right to select other lands
in lieu of these in controversy with
settlers and pointing out that the rail.

timber lands in the Northwest.
But the bill passed. Five years later
