Hope they'll be able to arrange definite plans for that rail load from Cons Hay to Holse and get work commenced soon upon, build ing It. Hundreds of peoeple are already remarking that those two blocks of newly paved streets In How-burg "looks good" to them. Just as The Review predicted once the paving working Is welt started, II will be kept going. Well. It's started, and we'll get still more next year. More agricultural and other pro ducts arc needed In this counly. The demand Is good and the prices are high. Jt'tt a strange condition when farmers are buying soup henna, nni some don't even grow enough pota toes for their own use, when they have land practically Idle thnt would product hundreds of bushels per acre of either of these crops. Any town or community thnt wnltf for outside people to come and build It up Is likely to Htny in the "also ran" class for n long time.

An annual appropriation of ten million dollars for a period of five years to aid in Irrigation work Is asked of CongresB In resolutions adopted by the National Irrigation Congress to day.

DKNVKIt, Aug. 13. Within a month, a hearing will begin In Heat- tie that, government nfllclnls claim, will disclose proof of gigantic frauds n connection with coal lands In Alas- k. The Investigation will be fol- owed by similar hearings to be held n a score of cities. KactB pertaining to alleged fraudF ire known to Secretary of the Inter- or Halllnger and Fred Dennett, com missioner of the general land ofllce, uid they have Instructed their sub mlLnntcs to proceed against the per- ons responsible for the alleged rauds. That more than 200,000 aeri s of Ich coal lands in Alaska, some of hem having veins feet In thick- less, have been filed upon by dummy lit ry men, procured through agents if large corporations, was made pub ic tonight. Powerful Interests, it is aid, have sought to force the do- inrtment of (he interior, through tunuelal, political and even social ressure, to patent these lands, a ;reat deal of which was filed upon wo years ago. This pressure was eslstod, however, and when congress massed the taw of May, 1 DOS, provld ng for associations of Tour or more Individuals to take up Alaska lauds o extent of 2fi60 acres for each com bination, the Interests buck of these lummy entrymen tried to get these 'and through to pntent under this law. The government' Interest lies in the wish to have the great Alaska Toal fields opened to supply coal for naval vessels. It Is said that the opening of tho Alaskan deposits will give the United States control of the commerce of the Pacific by reason of tho ability to obtain fuel In almost inexhaustible quantities. Tho so-called dummy entrymen were recruited principally from the docks of Seattle, the mines of Hutte and the laboring classes of Chicago, 'n many eases, according to evidence in the hands of the government, these men never saw nor heard of each other, although they were de scribed In filing papers as members of a corporation organized to develop motions of the Alaskan fields. Kvidence also Indicates that In many cases the name of the person ostensibly filing on land was ficti tious and that the signers to papers w ere pa Id small su ms t h e ref o r a nd never knew the Import of the docu ment they signed. It Is hinted thnt criminal p rosecu t Ion s m ay be Initi ated. ;ui:i;kn .kki:stki for KOItlllNG KHICIGHT CARS Kugene Guard.

One morning In the autumn I was In my study, engaged on my Thanksgiving sermon, when a tall, awkward young man in gruy homespun with the unusual embel lishment of a paper collar was usher ed in by my wife. "Parson, I want to get married," was his salutation. "All right," 1 answered; "I wlil be happy to help you." Then fol lowed the usuail questions, in which it developed that his name was Jim Oreno and the name of the bride-to-be was "Sal" Vlrden, and that they lived in a small place three or four miles in the woods. "When do you wish to be mar ried?" I asked. "Now. Right here," he answered. "All right," I said, "where is the lady?" "Out in the wagon at the gate." "Well, bring her in." . Jim disappeared, and soon came back with a buxom girl, clad In gar ments of many colors. The man and the girl proceeded to pull on a pair of lisle-thread gloves, and then at my request stood up together before me and I performed tho ceremony, which went off without any untoward incident. After my wife and I ex tended our congratulations and good wishes, the bride-groom beckoned to me to come outside. When we stood outside the door he said: "I ain't got no money, parson, but I'll give you a pair of geese fur mar ryln of me. Two geese. Day after tomorrow is Thanksgivin' and this here goose If fur your Thanksgivin' dinner." From under the seat of his wagon he pulled a fat goose, which he handed to me with the words: "Now. the other goose I'M bring fur your Christmas dinner." . I thanked him and they drove away. Christmas came and went but no goose. New Year's. January and February, likewise passed, and still no goose. Finally one morning early In March, as I was returning from making ft pastoral call on the edge of the town, a wagon drove up and in It I saw my friend. Jim Oreno. "Hello, there!" I shouted. Jim never saw me and touched the horse gently with his whip. "Hollo, there!" I yelled again. "Jim! Jim Oreno!" He stopped and looked at me in great surprise. "Calling me. sir?" he asked as If he had never seen me before. "Yes." I answered. "Iiok here: where Is that other goose?" . A look of deep sorrow settled over his face. "Parain." he said. "I tuk her home: but before Christmas 1 dls klvered that she wa'n't wuth two geese Olt ap." He drove off down the little street, nnd to this day 1 have not. seen him again, nor her nor the goose. Ex.
