MOLSON FOR COUNTY SEAT

1t is reported that Nelson has de-
cided to enter the field as a candidate
for the county seat, and the same re-
port says that the newest candidate
will put up $4,000 il necessary to
capture the prize. Nelson bases it's
claim on its position on the railroad
and the train service which permits
of anyone from this direction going
there In the morning and having all
day in which to transact his business
and then being enabled to return the
same evening. This makes three con-
testants for county seat at the present
time, Nelson, Okanogan and Omak.

NATIONAL HOME.

Lincoln Memorial services were held
at 1890 o'clock Sunday in the Home
chapel and the Rev. J. E. Cochrane
officiating He took for his subject
Lincolns religious life and said in
part that most people in speaking OF
him had taken up his life as a patriot
and statesman but in his address he
would take up his life as Christian
man. He first spoke of the bayheod
of Abraham Lincoln and of his meager
opportunities to attend church, relat-
ing an incident of how, when only
five years of age, little Abe" was car
ried in his mothers arms to an old
log cabin church and he was so I'M
pressed by the sermon that when he
got home he would get upon stool
or block of wood Eand go through the
motions of the preacher. This would
tend to show that Lincoln was re-
ligiously inclined from the first.
He also spoke Of Lincoln's first great
sorrow, that of the death Of his moth
err, when he was but nine years of
age. His mother had told him to be
good, honest boy, but little did she
realize that her son would be at the
head Of this great nation.
He next spoke of his fathers read
ing the Bible and asking a blessing
at the breakfast table and invariably
ending with theses words: "oh, Lord,
make us thankful for these blessings"
One morning in particular, when the
breakfast consisted of only roasted
potatoes and bread, and his father
closing the blessing in the usual man
ner, Little Abe" looked up and said:
Il guess these are mighty poor bless
ings,'
His belief in God was next manifest
ed at the time of his fathers sick
ness in the letter he wrote TO his step
brother, saying that if it was his
fathers lot to go then, he would soon
have a joyous meeting with many
loved ones gone before. and where the
rest of them, through the help CT God,
hope ere long to join them.
He spoke Of his greatest sorrow,

HOUSE REPORT SAYS
ILLITERACY IS 4 Ma
TIONAL DISGRACE

Washington, Feb. S.-The astonsh-
ing statement that there are 2,273,60
illiterate males over q years old in
the United States, and that in the city
of Boston there are 24,46S illiterates
over 10 years old, was contained in
the report submitted Saturday by the
House education committee on the
Lever bill to investigate illiteracy.
The report says, among other things,
that the proportion of the wholly il
literate adults among the population of
the United States is a national dis
grace, but it can be very quickly elm
mated"
The Lever bill. which carries no APP
preparation, authorizes the Commits
sion of Education to cooperate with
a concerted movement, involving field
and clerical service, with the states,
individuals and associations to 'oblit-
crate the stain and reproach of litter
acy."
Commissioner Claxton of the FEEDER
al Bureau of Education has expressed
the belief that illiteraey could be cut
to a fraction of per cent and Rep
resentative Towner of Iowa, in SUD
hitting the committee report, preoict-
ed it would be accomplished with lit
tie delay.
The report of the commissioner
shows the number of iliiterates In the
United States to be S,1SA,s54 whites
10 years old or more at the census OF
1910, exceeding the population OF the
country in 1900.
The distribution ranges from II per
1000 people in Iowa, to 290 per 1000 IN
Louisiana. In the South, the report
adds. the percentage is highest In the
rural districts and in the North 1t IS
highest in the cities. Boston, as al
ready stated, has 24,46S iiliterates over
10 years old.
"There are 2,273,603 illiterate males
of q years and over in the United
States" 1t pointed out, "or enough to
determine any national election at any
period of United states history"
France, by quick concerted action,
reduced it's number of adult illiteratee
from IS in 100 to five in 100, the re-
port adds.

new HAVEN WILL
Be INVESTIGATED.
Norris Resolution Passed in
The Senate--Will Not Dup
licate Previous Inquiry
Is Modification of Meas.
ure--Will Ask What Be
came of All the Funds In
vested.

Washington, Feb S.-Senator Nor
ris' resolution directing the Interstate
Commerce Commission to continue it's
investigation of New Haven Railroad
affairs was passed Saturday by the
Senate, in . modified form.
The modification was to specify that
the commission need not duplicate any
Of its previous work, and leaving 1T
to the discretion of the commission
whether it's previous investigation had
developed all the information it de-
sired. Commissioner Prouty, who
made the first investigation, recently
declared he could see little to be gain
ed by further work by the commits
sion, but that something might be
brought out by committee of Con-
gress.
This information was called for by
the resolution:
What became of the funds of the
New Haven invested in various enter
prises and corporations mentioned in
the recent report OF the interstate
Commerce Commission:
whether the person or persons au-
thorizing investment of those funds
and the person or persons receiving
the benefit are liable to punishment
under existing laws?
Whether, under existing law, these
funds can be recovered on behalf of
the stockholders of said company?
What legislation, If any, is neces-
sary to prevent the recurrence of sim
liar transactions"
Attorney General McReynolds takes
the view that any prosecutions for
financial operations of the New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad must
come under state laws, not federal
statutes, according to a statement in
the Senate Saturday by Mr.. Newlands
of Nevada.
Senator Lodge declared that inves-
tigation should be made of the man
ner in which Speyer 8. Co, New York
bankers, fioated Frisco Railroad sys-
tenn securities in Paris. He said he
had been informed that by paying
Paris bankers commissions as high as
7H per cent, Speyer & Co. induced
the French people to buy the securi-
ties a few months before the railroad
went into bankruptcy.
1.-THE result was that American cred
ii was given q greater blow IN france
than it had ever received before,
declared Senator Lodge.

the death Of son Willie, he regarded
it as an act OF Providence, that his
son was too good to remain on earth.
At the time Of the Battle of Gettys
burg, he looked to God to carry them
thrugh to victory as much as he did
to the army.
Throughout his entire life his at
titude toward religion was most mark
ed as is shown by the conversation
with Mrs Lincoln on bis last day on
earth At the theater the evening of
the day he was shot, he was telling
Mrs. Lincoln, that after his term ex-
pired, he wanted to visit the Holy
Land and see those places hallowed
by the footprints of the Saviour. He
was saying there was no city he so
much desired to see as Jerusalem, and
with the words half spoken on his
tongue, the bullet of the assassin en-
tered the brain, and the soul Of the
great and good President was carried
by the angels to the New Jerusalem
above.
Lincoln had been warned from the
! time that he took the Presidency that
he would be assassinated, and in an
swer to these warnings at various
| times always said that he owed what
he had accomplished to God and If it
was His will that he be assassinated,
that he was willing to accept his lot.
