The 101 Wild West Show.

The 10l Ranch Real Wild West Show
is to be at Lewiston on June 90, thus
affording the residents of this and ad
joining towns an opportunity Of seeing
what has been admitted to be the
greatest amusement aggregation ever
organized. There is no show in this
country that has won for itself rep
utation for merit and care of it's pat
rons as has the 1O1 Ranch Wild West.
1t rank in magnitude with the very
largest and tours the country on its
own three trains of double length cars.
Nearly 1000 men, women and horses
are required to give the performance
that is given twice daily in the huge
arena. The show carries with it over
one hundred Indians, and every one of
them is seeing this part of the country
for the first time. The cowboys and
cowgirls are all from the great 101
Ranch in Bliss, Oklahoma, and it q
from this ranch, the largest in the
world, that the show derives its name
and which is the shows home when
not on the road. Miller Brothers, who
with Edward Arlington, are the owners
of the show are also the owners of this
extensive ranch.
On the morning Of the day that the
show will be in Lewiston, a grand free
street parade will be given, and even
if you do not intend to witness the
performance, you should not miss this
mighty street parade. 1t is said to be
the greatest street demonstration ever
seen, and as the show has made nearly
all of the larger cities and been lauded
to the very limit by the, press and pat
rons alike, there is no reason to doubt
anything that is promised for the pa
rade or anything connected with this
stupendous enterprise. Two perform
ances will be given. The afternoon
performance at 2 o clock and the even
ing performance at 8. O'Clock. The
doors will open one hour earlier.

New Three Year Homestead Bill Signed
BY President Taft.


Many homesteaders holding lands
within the jurisdiction Of the Lewiston
land office will be affected by the bill
signed by President Taft Thursday
which provides for final proof at the
end of three years. The opening or
lands within the boundaries of the Nez
Perez Indian reservation three years
ago resulted in large number Of fl
hngs being made and many of the en-
trymen are now holding their claims
awaiting the period to make final
proof. The land was opened to settle
ment in August and the three years
residence will expire this year. Many
OF the entrymen committed at the end
of fourteen months as provided under
the old law, but those still holding
their lands will be benefited bv the
new measure.
Many entries in other sections of
the local district have been made dur
ing the past few years and it is ex-
pected large number of applications
for final proof will be offered under
the new measure within the next few
months. The following is the text of
teh bill relating to uncompleted en-
tries:
THAT the entryman shall, in order
to comply with the requirements of
cultivation herein provided for, cult
vate not less than one-sixteenth of the
area of his entry, beginning with the
second year of his entry, and not less
than one-eighth beginning with the
third year of the entry and until final
proof, but the secretary of the inter
Tor may, upon satisfactory showing
under rules and regulations prescribed
by him, reduce the required area Of cul-
tivation.
"The provisions of this section ap-
ply to all unprotected entries, as we'll
as entries hereafter made upon which
residence is required.
provided, that the secretary of the
interior shall, within so days after the
passage of this act, send copy of the
same to each homestead entryman Of
record who may be affected thereby,
by ordinary mail to his last known ad-
dress, and any such entryman may, by
giving notice within 100 days after
the passage of this act, by registered
letter to the register and receiver of
the local land office, elect to make
proof upon his entry under the law I'M
der which the same was made without
regard to the provisions Of this act. f"

Subject for the Minister.

According to reports gathered by
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis, prac.
tically 10 per cent. of all deaths in
church congregations are caused by
tuberculosis. In a study of $4,000
communicates of 725 chuches in
which there were 1000 deaths in 1910,
the death rate among these church
members was found to be 2.24 for
every thousand communicates. This
is higher than the rate for the regis.
tration area of the United States,
which was 1.60 in 1910.
while these statistics says the
national association, "are not com,
parable from the point Of view of &C,
curacy with those of the bureau OF
census, sufficient credence may be
given to them to indicate that one OF
the most serious problems the or
dinary church has to consider is that
of the devastation of its membership
by tuberculosis. Every minister in the
United States should give this sub
ject some attention during the week
preceding or that following April 2S
tuberculosis day"

TO WORK FOR
CIVIC GOOD
LEAGUE ORGANIZED TO PRO-
NOTE THE WELFARE OF THE
CAPITAL CITY.
ALL PARTIES REPRESENTED
George w. Riehtmire Is President and

Work Is Outlined In Brief Ad-
dress by n. E. owen.

Columbus. With permanent head
quarters opened in room 500 in the
chamber of commerce building, in
charge of II. E. Owen, and member
ship of 1000 men with workers in
every precinct in the city, the Civic
Betterment league of Columbus has
been rejuvenated and now ready for
business.
ITO agitate and mold public opinion
in support of such men, measures and
activities as will promote the best in
terest and welfare of the people of
the city," is the purpose of the league.
it will be non-partisan political or
ganization, confining it's activities to
municipal affairs and will take no part
in the coming presidential state or
county campaign.
George w. Rightmire is president of
the league; William Scarlet, Dr.
Washington GLADDEN., vice presidents;
H. e. Owen, secretary, and John F.
Fergus, treasurer.
AS evidence of the interest in the
movement, more than 125 men, includ-
ing Republicans, Democrats, Socialists
and Prohibitionists, attended lunch
con at the new Rankin building, %
West Gay street, Thursday evening,
paid so cents a plate for their supper
and subscribed in amounts varying
from 81 to S25 for the support of the
league.
DR.. Washington GLADDEN., one of the
vice presidents of the league, deliv-
cred the address he recently made be-
fore the conference of Ohio municipal
tiles in this city on Government Of
Municipalities" and e. w. Doty, con-
stitutional convention delegate from
Cuyahoga coutny, discussed municipal
government.
H. E. Owen outlined the plans for
the league. Inasmuch as the city
already has the initiative and refer
endum under the Crosser act and is
promised a much larger degree of
home rule by the constitutional con-
vention, Mr.. Owen said it was neces-
sary to have some organization which
could get an expression of the people
on public questions, bond issues and
tax proposals.
1--WE will have on file in the head
quarters of the league the names of
all the voters of the city and it will
be possible to get an expression from
them within "a to 4S hours, said
Mr.. Owen.
For instance" he said, ION such
propositions as the extension of the
municipal light plant, we will be able
to get an expression of the people,
or we may wage campaign to help
out the District Nursing association
or the baby camp in the summer or
carry on a campaign of any kind for
the betterment of humanity"

COLUMBUS 100 YEARS OLD.

Columbus.-The one hundredth an
niversary of the founding Of Columbus
was celebrated at a big mass meet
ing in the statehouse. In behalf OF
the city, Mayor Karb presided and
made the address of welcome. He en-
phasized the fact that although. Co
lumbus is the seat of government, the
other cities officially represented at
the Observation-Disclosures Chillicothe
and anesville-played important
parts in the growth of the state.
columbus was born officially Feb.
IA. 1872" said Mayor Karb, and the
actual site for the capitol building
was laid out June 18 of that year. The
first meeting of the general assembly
in the new building was held Dec. 2,
1916"
Marietta, the Oldest city in the
state, was represented by d. j. Riley,
constitutional convention delegate,
who related historical facts and said
that a partial survey of the state was
made by George Washington. He eX-
pressed satisfaction over the selection
of Columbus as the capital, saying
that its geographical location was i'm
portant
Columbus and Cincinnati are not
lacking in the movement that will up
lift humanity" said Stanley o..
Bowdle, representing Cincinnati, the
second seat of territorial government.
"Ohio people are peculiarly con-
structed, but they win the confidence
of all. IL is because the constitution
is a part of the permanent minds of
the people-that is what makes us
great" he said. Mr.. Bowdle is a dele
gate to the constitutional convention.
According to an address prepared
by Mayor James A. Cahill of Chilli
cothe, the first state capital, and read
by H. H. Bennett, the majority of Chill
licothe residents held offices when the
capital was in that city. Thousands
of residents of Chillicothe are now
willing to come to Columbus and hold
offices, if the proper compensation is
offered" he said.
d. A. Carr, vice mayor of GAINESVILLE,
the second capital of Ohio, said he
could see no reason why the capital
was removed from that city. eve are
willing to do all we can, though" he
added, "and are proud of the part we
have had in the states affairs"
The program was concluded by John
A. Poland of Chillicothe, who urged
greater enthusiasm in the centennial
celebration next fall.

FLAX GROWING
is PROFITABLE
WESTERN CANADA FARMERS BE-
COMING RICH IN ITS
PRODUCTION.

So much has been written regarding
the great amount OF money made out
Of growing wheat in the prairie prov
inces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta, Western Canada, that many
other products of the farms are over
looked. These provinces will always
grow large areas of wheat-both
spring and winter-and the yields will
continue to be large, and the general
average greater than in any other
portion of the continent. Twenty, thir-
ty, forty, and as high as fifty bushels
per acre of wheat to the acre-yields
unusual in other parts of the wheat
growing portions of the continent
have attracted worldwide attention,
but what of oats, which yield, forty,
fifty and as high as one hundred and
ten bushels per acre and carry off the
worlds prize, which, by the way, was
also done by wheat raised in Sas-
katchewan during last November at
the New York Land Show. And then,
there is the barley, with its big yields,
and it's excellent samples. Another
money-maker, and big one is flax.
The growing of fax is extensively car
ried on in Western Canada. The
writer has before him a circular is
sued by a prominent farmer at Ssska-
toon. The circular deals with the
treatment Of seed fax, the seeding
and harvesting, and attributes yields
of less than 20 bushels per acre, to
later seeding, imperfect and illy-pre-
pared seed. He sowed twenty-five
pounds of seed per acre and had a
yield of twenty-nine bushels per acre.
This will probably dispose of at $3.50
per acre. Speaking of proper prepa-
ration of seed and cultivation of soil
and opportune sowing, in the circular
spoken of there Is cited the case of
Mr.. White, living fourteen miles
south of, Rosetown, "who had fifteen
acres of summer fallow a year ago
last summer, upon which he produced
thirty-three bushels to the acre, when
many in the district harvested for
want of crop Now, there can be no
proper reason advanced why such
crop should not have been produced
on all the lands Of the same quality
in the adjacent district, provided they
had been worked and cared for in the
same manner. This year (191D the
same man had one hundred acres of
summer fallow, had something over
$500 bushels of wheat. He also had
1900 bushels Of oats and 300 bushels
of flax"
There are the cattle, the horses, the
roots and the vegetable products Of
Western Canada farms, all Of which
individually and collectively deserve
special mention, and they are treated
of in the literature sent out on appli-
cation by the Government agents.

FINED FOR cock-FIeHrINe.

Shawnee Eighty sport-loving citi-
zents, most of them business and
professional men of southwestern
Ohio, paid $3.50 each into the munich
pal treaury at New Straitsville for
the qualification of their sporting pro-
clivities.
They were among 81 of similar in
clination who were enjoying a cock
fight in the New Straitsville rink at
night when the police and county dep
uties descended on them. There was
a wild rush for doors, and when it was
found they were all guarded there was
an even wilder rush for windows, out
of which the frightened men poured in
cataracts.
The officers gathered in 80, but had
to let the remainder get away, and
these 80 contributed $3.50 toward keep
ing down the tax rate.
