ED HOWE OF KANSAS,
EW. HOWE Is how he signs' his name, but they all call htm
"Ed" Howe, from Maine to Mexico. Mr. Howe recent? tjuy
0 editing the Atchison Globe after more than thirty years la the
harness, ne said he felt entitled to retire, but he found he
couldn't writing had become second nature to him so he started a lit
tie monthly magazine, which is made up entirely of his own work. For
many years he has been known widely as a pertinent paragrapher. His
quaint comments on men, affairs and things in Atchison have been copied
all orer the country. He possesses a keen wit and is a satirist of rapier
thrust upon provocation. When he was a very young man he worked
nights on a novel, "The Story of a Country Town," doing bis regular
newspaper writing every day. That book made him famous, but bis
paragraphic performances have done still more to boost him up the hill
of fame.

Spokane. Wash., July 19.-
Employment agencies in Spokane re
port there is a demand for from 800
to 1,000 laborers in railroad and lum
ber camp8 and on farms In the dis
tricts tributary to this city. " There are
many apparently idle men in Spokan.j,
but few xpress a desire to work,
some awaiting an advan6e i.i wages,
while others are arranging to go to
the harvest fields. Many offers of $35
and $40 a month and board are listed
on the bulletin boards at local agen
cies. Wages of $2.25 a day to Ameri
cans and $2.00 a day to foreigners are
advertised by railroad companies with
construction work under way. Sawmill
while skidding teamsters and drivere
are offered $2.50 a day. Wood cutters
are offered $1.25 a cord. Free fare Is
advanced by railroads and construc
tion companies. ' The approach of the
harvest season and the promised early
opening of work by local contractors
on the Canadian Northern railroad In
the, province of British Columbia is
said to.be responsible for the scarcity
of mi:n In these lines.'
