St. Paul, general passenger agent of ,the Great Northern Railway company, who Is in , the northwest on his first official visit. While here he said: "Business Is generally good in the passenger department,' showing in creases over last year. Of course, It is quiet in some spots', but the good 'crops of 1911 gave the farmersa lit tle extraimoney. Many inquiries are being received from persons interest In Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana.' "The indications are for a heavier colonist travel this spring. . This prob ably Is due to the crops of 1911 and to tlie advertising through the. western governora' special train which trav ersed all over the east. The' land shows also greatly exploited the country.-. "I look for an Increased demand for small farms, 10 to 20 acres, nearer the larger . towns and cities this year. This is much inquiry for logged off lands and tracts that can be used for dairying and poultry raising where small orchards -can be set out. Many working people In the east, with small savings, are making these inquiries, and It is our alm' to get these people to come west and locate.' We have our exhibit car traveling through Indiana and Ohio now, and Instead of having it make stops in the larger cities as heretofore, are having the car stop at towns of from BOO to 1,000.- : "While It Is not definitely settled, I look for a reestabllshment on all transcontinental lines of last year's CHICAGO PIPES BOTHER SOLD SPELL WOItKS HAVOC WITH THOUSANDS.

In the poorer tenement hous es havoc was wrought with waterpipes but plenty of expensive flats were in no better case, Shipments of produce practically came to a standstill and before the supplies can be restored famine prices will prevail. The new Chicago coal monopoly refrained during several days of Bevere cold beginning to talk of famine but then began to shove the prices upward, notch, by notch, care fully watching the public's willing ness to be squeezed to determine how much of a harvest would be safe. Volu able explanations were made that the "railroads were Blow." The warm weather which will fol? low this severe cold is expected to ruin the six' million barrels of tip ples held In ordinary storage by spec ulators on January 1st.

We are determined to get results.' Spokane, Wash., Jan. 23. (Special) From comparatively nothing to .the ownership of over 1,900 acres of ex cellent wheat land in Lincoln county is the remarkable . record made by Mrs. Josephine Ditmar, the "wheat queen" of Reardan, Wash. The history of Mrs, Dltmar'8 business life for the ten years reads like a romance. Ev erything that she acquired more than doubled In value. ' Thirty-two years ago the Ditmars left Oregon and set tled near Davenport. At that time there were not many houses In Spo kane. After a few years the family moved near Reardan, where i.Mrs. Ditmar- has. lived ever since. In 1902, without funds, but believing In the fu ture of the Big Bend country, Mrs. Dit mar purchased 720 acres; of land un der contract, She was not able to pay a cent down, but by hard work, good management and abundant corps she was able to pay for the land in three years. Prom 1905 to the present time she has gradually acquired land until today she owns more land than any other woman in the state. -Her land at the present time Is estimated at a value of $150,000. Next year she ex pects to average at least 40 busbels per acre, wliich will give her a return of something over $53,000. These : figures represent the proportion of fires caused by defective electric wiring fcnd. kerosene lamps respectively. They, are taken from the annual report of the-. Oregon Fire Relief association. Out of 2G6 losses during the past year) one was directly traceable to defective wiring; sixteen to overtariicd or exploded, lamps. Aji practical electrician can wire your house so that danger from defective wiring is abso lutely eliminated. But no one can guarantee that your oil lamp will not be overturned or explode. There is always more or less danger. You can. avoid this danger, and enjoy bright, clean, convenient electric lighst for very little more than you now pay for oil lamps. ' Main 34 for rates.

(Special) Tod many "Spokanes" scattered throughout the country bid fair to lead to Interstate complications. The cham ber of commerce has learned that Nnrt.h Carolina. Ohio and Missouri each boasts a town named Spokane Wherefore, R. J. Maclean, secretary of the local chamber of commerce de clared with emphasis' that he would communicate with Senator Miles Poin dexter In an effort to have a few of the towns with names similar to this select new ones, In a -conversation with a visitor recently Mr. Maclean was informed that the city by the falls had no corner on the name Spokane. The secretary . Immediately dictated a letter to the postofflce departmnt, elicited the information that Missouri, North Carolina and Ohio have towns 'that have taken unto themselves the classic Indian appellation.
