Spokane, Wiash, Jan. 23. (Special)
Colonist travel on all lines to Wash
ington, 'Oregon, Idaho and Montana,
from eastern points this spring will
be much larger than last year, accord
ing to Howard A. Noble of. 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

The republican and democratic na
tional convention are each to have 1,
074 delegates. A republican candidate
Is nomination by a majority of the
delegates, : therefore President Taft
needs only 638 votes for re-nomlnatlon.
The democratic national convention
nominates a presidential candidate by
a two-thirds vote, therefore the win
ner in the democratic national conven
tion must secure 716 votes, 176 more
than the republican candidate.

not travel without extra precaution
against freezing; the stoves and fur
naces became Insatiable and the way
plumbing froze and burst was beyond
anything ever seen, plumbing having
been scarce In days of similar "cold
spells." 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. Cold stprage
capacity was too small 'for the 1911,
apple crop although It Is said that In
Chicago alone a million barrels of ap
pies are In cold storage.
Spokane, Wash., Jan. 23. (Special)
A gymnasium In every ; grammar

dance hall and the noodle joint and
the substitution of the supervised play
ground, and the neighborhood social
center will be urged by the committee
appointed this week by the Child Wel
fare league to Investigate conditions In
orlentlal cafes and public ballrooms.
This Is the statement of Mrs. W. H.
Page, secretary of the league and the
chairman of the committee. Continu
ing she said: .:.
"Why spend thousands and thou
sands of dollars upon our high school
equipment the school of the favored
few and not one cent v;m the
masses of children wlic :v.v:.- reach
the high school? The c?m of their
failure to reach, the higli sl:k:1 may
be lack of pyslcal stre- ; V; tq rtand
the mental strain of schn'?!.. , :
"The public dance hall and the
noodle joints must go. The school
houBe must be made an Institution
a university of the, people. It Is here
we want our boys and girls to meet
for social life. Here we want the tired
father and mother to" And recreation,
relaxation and stimulus. .
, "Our campaign will hot alone be
corrective, but preventative It Is not
our Intention to take away the noodle
Jdint and the public dance hall, places
of amusement, without providing a
healthy substitute. ''
"We want- supervised playgrounds
and the wider use of the school house
as a social center, without having to
pay fees to the janitor. ... , -
"This committee will be enlarged

and It will number upon It the most

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.

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. "There
Bhould be but one Spokane,' declares
Secretary Maclean. "There Is but one
San Francisco In this country. Com
plications have arisen from the dupli
cation of Portland, Vancouver anu
other cities."
