The growth of Northwest Airlines
has been phenomenal, with its expan-
sion beginning shortly after it was
started in 1926. and continuing
aviation the firms annual report re-
veals.
The line started with only en-
ployes and now it has $50. and in
1926 its planes flew 47.397 miles, as
compared to 5,39s,7l4 last year. North
passenger-miles in 1888 and 34.879 $50
in 1899. while passenger revenue for
last year showed an increase of 6022
percent over 1888.
For December of last year, the line
showed an increase of 86a percent in
passengers carried, as compared to the
same month of 1888, and the increase
for the year 1899 over 1888 was 81 per-
cent.
To illustrate the tremendous growth
of Northwest Airlines, it now ranks
5th among Americas leading airlines,
Hunter pointed out, and during the
entire II months Of 1880 Northwest
Airlines planes carried only 1924 pas,
sengers but in December, 1889, total
of 6,901 passengers travelled on the
line.
Yesterdays experiments in COM
mercial aviation have become today's
big business Mr.. Hunter said.
American enterprise has developed
transport planes whose superior per-
Torrance and design have resulted not
only in their exclusive use in
America but also general preference
abroad.
we look for great strides in the
field of aviation during the next five
years, since the travelling public is
becoming more and more air-minded
In this fast, busy modern era, speed,
comfort and economy in travel are
important factors. Commercial avia-
ton has met all of these needs and
great gains are the result"

Yule Tree Business Sets
All-Iime Record i'm 1899

Christmas tree production in forest
areas of western Montana during 1889
reached an all-time peak with an esti-
mated production of 1857 $50 trees,
according to an annual report released
by the northern Rocky mountain for
est and range experiment station Of
the United States forest service. The
1889 total was above the previous ban
ner year of 1888, when 100000 Christ
mas trees were marketed.
Lincoln and Flathead counties were
the two largest producers of Christ
mas trees, with Lincoln county's &c.,
800 trees accounting for 46 percent of
the shipments and Flathead county
868,70O trees accounting for "A percent
of the shipments Only 10 percent of
the shipment came from areas outside
those two counties.
Mostly From Private Lands
Private lands supplied 80 percent of
the 1899 commercial cut, national for
ests IA percent and the state forests
4 percent. The Kootenai forest. with
257,969 trees, led all national forests
in Christmas tree production. The
average stumpage price revealed on
national forest lands was 28 per tree
the same as 1888. while the price on
state forests was 3.4 cents, an increase
Of 3 of cent over 1893.
The high production of 1889 may
be attributed in part to a series OF
circumstances which do not always
occur in a favorable combination, the
report states. The growing season pro-
duced good foliage. the weather fol
cutting and hauling was nearly per.
feet. the Christmas spirit was good
throughout the country, and the cur.
tailment of relief expenditures ano
shortening of hours of work aideC
marketers in finding employees for the
seasonal industry. The report explains
that the 1899 cut may be equallec
in the next year or two but should
not be greatly exceeded"
In a general sort of way" the re.
port states, sit can be figured that the

Northwest Airlines Adds
New Ships to Seattle Run

The Northwest Airlines- America S
second Oldest airways system-has set
a new pace for commercial aviation by
enlarging its famous Douglas fleet and
placing three newly acquired 21-pas-
senger transports on the Seattle
Chicago line.
Three flights will be made daily over
the northern transcontinental route,
thus opening a new travel world to
best in travel, Croil Hunter, president
and general manager of Northwest
AirlineS, announced.
Inauguration of the new service
means that the line has replaced light
er planes with the heavier, more mod
ern ships which offer many engineer
ing features for speed, power and
safety and give the Pacific northwest
its finest air service.
The first daily flight will leave
Seattle at 8:05 a. m. and the ship will
reach Spokane at $40 a. m. and arrive
in Minneapolis at 8:45 p. m. Upon its
arrival in Chicago at 11:4O p. m. it
will make connections with eastbound
planes which reach New York 6:01 the
next morning.
The 4 p. m. plane out of Seattle
reaches Spokane at $50 p. m. and
Minneapolis at 4:30 a. m. the next
morning. Time of arrival in Chicago
Is TAO a. m. and connections with the
planes into Manhattan will get air
travellers there at 1859 p m that aft
ernoon.
The third trip will leave at 1885 D. m.
and arrival time for the plane in Spo-
kane is 1910 p. m. After an overnight
flight the plane will reach Mime
apolis at 8:45 a. m. the next morning
and Chicago at 11:25 p. m. Time OF
. arrival in New York will be 4:59 D. m
The traffic department of North
west Airlines has arranged schedules
other cities in the east which arc
served by air lines. Hunter said
A feature of the Northwest Airlines
service will be the continuance Of the
daylight departure from Seattle, with
the planes travelling over the world

nothing was known except his
name, and sometimes not even
that. Such man was Jim Sim

OF him nothing was known, but that
he was fast with a gun and afraid
Afraid Of what? No one knew but
some thought that it was the law,
while other commended that at some
time he had taken part in some SOUTH
ern mountain feud and an old enemy
whom he feared was tracking him
more reasonable to presume that he
was a survivor of one Of the bitter
sheep and cattle wars Of the past two
decades, as he had the bearings OF q
rider about him, and perhaps both
the law and some enemy seeking re-
venge would have liked to meet him
But his fears were not groundless
He was shot in the back, while stoop-
scarcely a hundred feet from his cabin
door, and buried where he fell, In
shallow grave hardly large enough Tor
his body, to be dug up by hunters

Unexpectedly as supposed, but man
hunted man among the willows ano
the lodgepole pines and the loser was
buried where he fell beside that quiet
little spring. Some people still believe
that 1t was not Simmons body that
was found there.
But Jim Simmons did not sleep in
his cabin when he was alone. He had
a tent hidden in a thicket some dis
lance away and out Of sight of the
cabin where he slept, with his guns
mitted. From here he could see anyone
who approached his cabin before he
himself was discovered. From here he
could have shot anyone who stalked

that q moments relaxed vigilance

BIGGER THAN A BILLION.

Government is not a cross be-
tween King Midas and Santa
Claus. Instead of turning to gold,
everything it touches is tagged
with tax bill of some kind. Only
after playing the roll of tax-col-
lector can it play the roll of San
ia Claus. If people would under
stand this fact. the present drift
toward national bankruptcy
would be reversed overnight.
Continuous repetition of astro-
nomical figures has caused a 60
verrment deficit of several billion
dollars each year to glance off
the minds of most of us like wa
ter off a ducks back. The differ
ence between millions and billions
has become microscopic, just
like those microscopic pinpoints
of light we call stars. To the COM
mon citizen, million dollars is
as nebulous as the stars-let alone
a billion. Stand billion dollars
alongside of first-class star and
bring them close enough for the
average man to get good look.

that any effort to feed France will
be taken advantage of by the Ger

England in refusing to accept free
food from this country is keeping
herself in position to maintain the
