The Story of Our States
 By JONATHAN BRACE
 XXI.-ILLINOIS
 T7| "A S K A g.
 <. <: <. { :': !. : < ! : ]. j. ! ] MSssaU@M N KIA, the IsZ5@a5SSM oldest town in NS gK4 &lklsA Illinois, is on WIl GSA M5&ENNl the site of all SZAa kaSzsV Indian village N&eSH and it was
 z6m here that Father Marquette, after his first discovery of the Illinois river, established a Jesuit mission in 1875. Four years later La Sale. the French explorer, passed through the Great Lakes. landed at the Chicago river and pushed on to the Illinois river, which he named after the Indian tribes living in that region. Here he built a fort and sent his boat back to Montreal for further SUD- plies. When his vessel did not return he started home on foot and succeeded in finding his way to Montreal through thousand miles of tangled wilderness. He gathered together another eXpe- dition and returned to the fort, which he had left in charge of his companion Tonty. The fort he found in ruins, but finally sue ceeded in locating and rescuing Tonty, who had been driven out by the Iroquois Indians.
 This riverway to the Mississip- Di became one of the leading avenues of communication be- tween the French in the North and Louisiana. French settlers soon located here and estab- liShed the most friendly rela- tiOns with the Indians. In fact, though the Illinois country was ceded by France to England in 1763, the sentiment of the 1ndi- ans and French together was so hostile that it was several years before the territory could be oc- cupied.
 During the Revolution it was George Rogers Clark and his eX- petition into the territory north of the Ohio which captured Kas- kaskia and drove the English from this province. Various states claimed rights to parts of this territory, but these were finally ceded to the federal gov ernment and in 1787 it was formed into the Northwest Ter ritory. This tract extended from Pennsylvania to the Mississippi and was eventually divided into Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Michi- gan.
 in 1918 Illinois was admitted as the twenty-frst state with an area of 56,665 square miles. The state is one of the most level in the country and is often called the Prairie State. Politically Illinois is the most important state in the Union next to New York and Pennsylvania as it has twenty-nine electoral votes for president.

THOMAS JENKINS MAY JOIN
MISSION WORK IN ALASKA

According to advices received re-
Gently from Portland, Rev. Thomas
jenkins, rector of st. Davld's Epis-
copal church, may leave that pastor
al charge in June to re-enter mis-
sionary work in Alaska, under the
direction of Bishop Rowe.
It is believed in Portland that
Rev. JENKINS will go North with
the expectation of succeeding Bishop
Rowe, in charge of missionary work
in the territory. 1t is not believed
that Bishop Rowe will give up his
Alaska work entirely, but that he
wants a younger man to be active
in the Northern missionary field.

TIME is DRAWING CLOSE
FOR CLOSING OF ICE POOL

Nenanaites are reminded that a
very short time remains in which
to obtain tickets in the big annual
ice pool, which promises this year
to eclipse all previous records in
size The purse will touch close to
the $4,000 mark, if it does not act
ually exceed that amount.
The pool will positively close at
midnight tomorrow night.
Guessers have been very active
during the past couple of days, and
it is expected that the demand for
tickets will be unusually brisk to-
night and tomorrow. A great many
have been waiting for the last day
to register their guesses, and many
of the earlier guessers have new
lunches which they are playing to
the limit.
One of the guessers is reported
to- have had dream in which was
disclosed to him the exact time the
ice would move, and the following
morning found him at one of the
selling places with an armful Of
dollars, with which ne played his
dream forwards and backwards and
both ways from the middle, singing
out, doubling out and with the re-
verse English. If there is anything
in dreams, he is going to get the
money going and coming.
( But dreams do not cut much ice
with many of the oldtimers. They
go on conditions entirely-condition
of the anchor ice, thickness of the
ice, depth of snow in the hills and
temperatures.
! Still others, and there are quite {;
number of these, believe in playing
safe with all the guesses they can
place on the pool, and there are
groups who are playing combina,
tions for all they are worth. 1t is a
great game, however it is played
and right now everybody's doing it
| Tickets can be obtained at a
number of places in town and at all
the camps along the line, and they
can be marked up TO midnight to
morrow night, at which time all
tickets must be deposited in the
boxes distributed by the ice poo
committee for that purpose.
/ Six thousand tickets have already
been distributed by the committee
and another thousand, and perhaps
more, will be available in the morn
ing, calls already having been re-
ceived for them. So if all the tick.
cts are disposed of by midnight to-
morrow, the pool will represent
$1,000 or more.
