MILITIA IS
LOSING GROUND
ATTEMPT TO GRAB OFF FAT
SALARY FOR ADJUTANT
GENERAL rs DEFEATED IN
SENATE AFTER SARCASTIC
DEBATE ON BILL.

OLYMPIA, Wash, Feb 13.-(Spe-
cial. 1T looks like the day of the Ma
tional guard was passing in this state,
At least the state soldiery is not now
as powerful in it's political influence
as it was at one time. A bill to in
crease the emoluments of the adjutant
general so that he would be drawing
the equivalent of about $4,000 per year
was unceremoniously defeated in the
senate one day last week. The word
ing of the bill which read the state
militia shall consist of $4,000 officers
and men" struck Senator Hutchinson,
of Spokane, as not being quite as
clearly stated as it might be. The
senator said that inasmuch as the
state militia was purely social in
stitution that enabled certain type
of men to disport themselves in flashy
uniforms and gold braid, it ought to be
put on a footing of the highest effici-
ency, and that he would therefore
move that the clause be changed to
read consist of 1000 officers and
four men," 1t is plainly evident that
the National guard of the state of
Washington has lost standing with
both the legislators and the people
and it will not be long until they will
quit voting away good money to main
tain the "tin soldiery" of labor-hating
cotillion steppers. More and more the
people will use their money for con-
structive purposes, and cut out their
support of the mock militarism of the
barbaric past.

fear the linemen will initiate a much
more drastic measure and go to the
people with it, should the legislature
fail to pass the present proposed law
The advocates of the bill point to
the fact that the adoption of the Sc
attic ordinance has resulted in great
saving of life and accidents. although
not all the lines have yet been brought
under its requirements, three years
having been allowed for the compile
ton of the work of respacing the
wires. References to the report of the
Industrial Insurance commission
shows Seattle to have had lower
percentage of accidents than any of
the cities that are working under the
old system.

"Fagin" Trains Simian to Enter Homes for Gems

! n HICAGO.-The notorious Fagin OF
~ fiction, who lived from the thiev,
lngs Of boys he taught to steal, has a
counterpart in real life, H. B. Wheel
ock, a Chicago architect living at 104O
Hinman avenue, Evanston, and his
wife believe. Only the modern Fagin
has shown a resourcefulness over the
old-timer that makes the Dickens
character look like an amateur.
The midnight visitor at the Evan
ston home had trained monkey to
do his stealing for him. In this he
has the advantage of getting through
windows and into places no small boy
could enter and of making a nimble
getaway If he is surprised in his work.
He also has the further advantage Of
being able to see in the dark
The only thing that seems to be
lacking is the simians proper appre-
citation of the value of silence and
therin lies the fact that he was dis
covered when about to make away
with n tray of jewelry.
Mrs. Wheelock was awakened early
the other morning by the rafting Of
jewelry in the tray on her dresser
She sat up in bed, and as she did so
she heard a chattering which she at
once recognized as that made by a
monkey. Then she saw an animal
about the size of a cat spring upon
the window sill and disappear.
Rose Berge, a servant in the Wheel
0ck home, also was aroused by similar
noises in her room, and said she saw

WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
HILL AND SONS, THE DAT CHAM.
PloNs, ARE cocKNEYs BORN
AND BRED.

City.bred In the worlds greatest
metropolis and unframed as 10 things
agricultural, were j. G. Hill and his
three boys when they settled on home
steads at Lloydminster, in the Prov,
ince of Saskatchewan (western Can
ada), eight years ago. Today they
are the recognized champion oat grow
ers of the North American continent,
having won twice In succession the
silver challenge cup, valued at $1,000.
at the Fifth National Corn exposition
Columbia, S. C. The Plate, officially
known as the Colorado Oat trophy, is
emblematic OF the grand champion
ship prize for the best bushel Of oats
exhibited by individual farmers or ex-
pertinent farms at these expositions.
The Hill entry won this year In the
face OF the keenest competition, hun
dreds Of exhibits being sent by expe-
rlenced farmers froL4 all parts of the
United States and Canada. The oats
were grown on land which was wild
prairie less than four years ago.
When Mr. Hill and his three sons.
who probably never saw a wider acre
age than the hills Of Hampstead
Heath, or the parks Of London, came
to Saskatchewan eight years ago, they
had little more capital than was re-
quired for homestead entry fees. They
filed on four homesteads, in the Lloyd
minister district, which straddles the
boundary Of Alberta and Saskatche-
wan. They went to work with will,
ripping the rich brown sod with break
ing plows and put in a crop, which
yielded fair returns.
They labored early and late and de-
MED themselves paltry pleasures, glad
to stand the gaff for a while in rising
to their possibilities. They talked with
successful farmers and studied crops
and conditions and prohted by both.
The new life on the farm was strange
but they never lost heart, handicapped
as they were by lack Of experience
and capital.
The farm house, modern in every
respect, compares favorably with any
residence in the city The Hills have
substantial bank accounts and their
credit is gilt-edge from Edmonton to
Winnipeg and beyond.
There is nothing secret about our
methods nor is our plan copyrighted
We first made a thorough study of
climatic conditions, soil and seed"
said Mr.. Hill I'VE tended our crops
carefully and gradually added live
stock, realizing from the beginning
that mixed farming would pay larger
and more certain returns than straight /.
grain growing. We have demonstrated
that fact to our satisfaction and the /.
result is that many of the farmers in
the district are following our exam.
