BETTER SERVICE PROMISED

F. w. Vaille, president of the
Thirteenth division of the railway
mail service, says in a letter to r. J.
Mclean, secretary of the Inland
Empire Federation of Commercial
Clubs:
I am in receipt of your telegram
of January 26th, and in reply will
state that it is the intention of the
department to give the offices in
the Yakima valley service that will
in every respect be adaquate.''
The telegram referred to in the
foregoing was sent to Mr.. Vaille fol-
lowing the first quarterly meeting
of the executive committee at Sand
point, Idaho, on January 25th,
when the federation urged the es-
tablishment of railway mail service
on the Oregon Washington Railroad
and Navigation company's lines be-
tween North Yakima and Alfalfa,
including Zillah, Granger, Sunny
side, Grandview, Prosser, Benton
City and Kennewick.

MANY INQUIRIES FROM
PROSPECTIVE SETTLERS
Indications Point to Large Increase i'm
Population of Inland Empire
During Coming Season

Robert J. Maclean secretary of
the Spokane chamber of commerce
and the Inland Empire federation
OF commercial clubs, said in an
interview recently that if the thou
sands of letters received by the first
named organization from prospec
tive settlers, now living in central,
southern and eastern states and
Canada indicate anything, there is
every reason to think that the influx
of desirable homebuilders i n o
Washington, Idaho, Oregon and
Montana this spring will be one of
the most important emigration
movements in the history of the
western country.
Most of the inquiries received
by the Spokane Chamber of Com
merce are from earnest men and
women who desire to settle in the
country Mr.. Maclean added, and
there are many who want to engage
in poultry growing, hog raising and
dairying near cities and towns.
Ninety-five per cent of the inquirers
are seeking small farms of from 40
to so acres, while others are think
ing of locating on five and 1O-acre
tracts.
There is lively demand for
cut-over or logged off lands, particu-
larly in eastern Washington and
northern Idaho, also for lands
adapted to general farming and fruit
growing in other parts of the Inland
Empire and the four northwestern
states. This would indicate that
the back-to-the-land' movement has
started in earnest and that every
one of the rural communities
throughout the Northwest will be
benefited.
Manufacturers of farm machin-
cry report that many inquiries have
been received in the last 60 days
from prospective settlers, as we'll as
from actual farmers in the district,
thus indicating that much land will
be placed under cultivation this
year and that numerous new settle
ments will be opened"

And Eben with his camera quick
Is Johnny on the spot"
It's just press, a snap, click,
And your photo he has got.
Our ships future he has forseen.
And it's bright one, too;
He is the last of the sixteen
Who make up our good crew.
And now three cheers with all your
might
For the "Umatilla" true;
Long may she fly her colors bright,
The red, white and the blue.
Long may the smoke roll from her stack
And her pilot wheel be whirled;
May she in loyalty never lack
For the flag DER her unfurled.

Then next in line comes Heckerday,
AS happy as can be:
Cheerful, joyful, blithe and gay
His joy is good to see.
He never feels that he's too fine
To eat and sleep with us;
And in his happiness sublime
He doesn't give cuss.
And the Hoosier, don't forget him),
How he keeps things humming;
If he amt joshing Slim
Some other fun's a-coming.
And when he's slightly out of humor
His new guitar he'll play;
Then let me tell you l would sooner
Be deaf man any day.
Bling! ! knew for sure she'd bust
Just look who's got the wrench;
When he gets hold it's Come thou
must
All same the big steam winch.
For he's stoker, as strong as colt,
IT'S he who makes the fog;
Like pie he breaks two-inch bolt:
He's a man from the "old sod
And dear Billie, so calm and mild,
You hardly know he's near;
He's such a lovely, dear, sweet child;
We like to have him here.
At letter writing he's shark
He knows just what to say;
l hope his arrow hits the mark
When Cupid names the day.
Another stoker in the big firehole
Is kicking up fog;
He's right there when it's shoveling
He's holding down the job.
In every way he is man;
He does things to ''T":
But 10! he halls from Michigan
That makes diff, you see.
Next comes Slim with his ten-inch
Colts;
Some gun man tell you.
He makes them crack like thunderbolts
So be careful what you do. (?)
They call him Slim most all the while,
(He's tall as three plus three,)
But slimness now is all the style
So he's satisfied, you see.
And Tom, the cook, how he does fix
The hot-cakes up just right;
When the batter he starts to mix,
There's something good in sight.
IT'S he who knows beyond doubt
That if mans heart you'd win,
There isn't any better route
Than through that mans food bin.
And the Waterman, the man is he
Who keeps the boat at night;
We know that he will always see
That everything's all right.
One by one the hours drag by
Until the break of morn;
Then he turns in and there he'll lie
Till evening clouds the skies adorr
And the deckboy, see his doom,
He's always out of sight;
If he don't show up pretty soon
I'll tan his hide just right.
Jack of every trade is he,
Just like a roust-a-bOut:
Painting, splicing, carpentry,
He knows inside and out.
Then the boy who sets the table
With such ever-thoughtful care;
How wish that were able
Others with him to compare.
At five o'clock he's on his beat
Dressed in white apron plain;
Though not so handy on his feet

With dash and spray;
Where the voice of Nature calls
To the brave and gay;
There was built the good old ship
The "Umatilla" true;

The scene of the mishap.

And cut the time in half;
Right then we show them how it's done
Upon our speedy craft.
Her crew consists of sixteen men
All young but three or four;
They're right there if you want "ten"
For some five days or more.
They're jolly fellows out for times
And make use of their money;
Qf you read the next few lines
You might find something funny.)
First of all there comes the captain

The soil and atmosphere are so cold
and dry in faraway Labrador that
scarcely any vegetation thrives at all.
The larch is a species of pine tree
which is found in all northern coun-
tries. but its growth is so stunted in
Labrador that a specimen found on
the most southern part of that dreary
land was but nine inches In height and
the trunk was but three eighths of an
inch in diameter. A careful examina-
ton of the miniature tree revealed It's
age to be at least thirty-two years. for
there were that number of ring
growths shown in its small trunk. The
very cold currents pouring down from
the north and the fact that Labrador
has less sunshine than Alaska. to-
gether with several inland climatic
conditions, make the summer seasons
shorter and colder than are those Of
Alaska.-Exchange.
