Statistics compiled by the cmi gration department of several transcontinental railroads show that more than 100,000 men, women and children have came into Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana since January 1. and of these between 53,000 and 25,000 have settled in the north west Passeneer traffic during the first six months this year exceed ed that of the same period in 1909. notwithstanding the fact that the rush to the exposition Burnt tluJeuta wtrt 'disputing.

The feDorta also indicate dent Atbena. that fully 100.000 more settlers have arranged to come into the four northwestern states before the eloao of the vear. Most of the newcomers are farmers, fruit growers' and dairymen, the maioritv taking ud lands in Eastern .Oregon, Washington, north and central Idaho and western Montana. Others have gone into business in the larger cities and towns, passenger traffic managers say that the eyes of the east are turned at last to the west and that from now on there will be a constant stream of homeseekers entering various parts of the country. It is more or less doubtful whether the cost of living can go higher than the mercury. It has been estimated that James J." Jeffries received alto gether in one way and another, a total sum of $284,000 for the Reno fight And yet some people say "Jeff was foolish to agree to the meeting with John son".

Waa it ber want of Interest In blm or tbat aba oo cuuled a Diane too far above blmT It waa certainly not ber atopldlty. When Ellison appeared aba became another person. She waa often seen chatting with blm wltb great anlma tlon. to aay nothing of flashes of wit Before, long wt were all watching thla couple, wbo aeemed to be tbe comple ment of each other. Wt agreed that It required a universal genlua to awaken ber dormant faculties. Every one waa aaytng. "What a pair tboat two will make!" V Tbt only difference between Ellison's boating toward Lola Beverly ana other girls waa that be aeemed to be intent upon fascinating ber. B would when chatting with her keep bla eyea Bxed on here aa though pouring bis sou throuicb ber orbs to mliagle with bet own aoul behind them. At aucb tlme there waa an absence of bla own brll llancy. Bt aeemed rather to be exclt ins here. There waa a suggestion ot something: plaintive both In him and It her.

Then ont day everybody waa asking, "What baa become of Ellison T No body know. He certainly wasn't wltb us any more. Of count wt all turned to Lola. All aht would aay waa tbat sbt didn't know any mora ot Mr. E1II aoo'a whereabouts than the rest of us, He didn't reappear, and Lola aank back Into ber former condition. Tbe only change waa a profound aadnesa that had aettled udoo ber, ana tne dream in ber eyea waa Intensified. Ellison never returned. Some time after bis disappearance the woman wbo owned tbe house where he lived told me that at the time bt left ber abe bad found a drop of blood on the hearthstone in bis room. I asked bet If anv one waa wltb blm at thut time and sbe said there waa no one. Hi had cone uu to bed at 10 o'clock, tbt bouse bad been carefully locked-Bbt waa fearful of burglara and no one bad been In during tbt night. In the morning when her lodger didn't come down abt went to bla room. It waa empty, tbt bed bad not been slept In. nd droD of blood waa on tne ueanu Lola Beverly grew frail and lived only about alz niontba after Ellison's going. I got It Into my bead that tbt fellow waa , anma sort of a nook. At any rate.' I could nover tract bla anteced ents or hia Identity after bt left us. Oue day. having nothing better to do, I wrote out an account of tbe east and sent It to a society for paycblcal re leurcb. . Alter aome weeka I received a reply from tbe aecretary. It atated that tbe society bad discussed tbt matter of Elbert Ellison, but that tbert was nothing In It that any ont could grasp One of the members bad madt a aug reatlnn to which 1 waa welcome.

Isaac did not reply to her letter, but a rew weeka later ne appearea at ner bomt aa an agent for a aewlng ma chine company and Insisted on selling ber a machine. Tbt girl looked long ugly at tbe machine, for abe earned ber living by ber needle and needed a new machine aadiy. She rcgrettea that aha could not afford to buy It and waa turning away when tbe agent made ber a proposition so favorable that abt atopped to think. - When a woman hesitates wltb a aaleaman at the door abe la loat Tbe agent, with out waiting for ber to make op ber mind, removed tbt machine from tbe wagon to tbe bouae.

When the Brat poyment came due be appeared about 8 o'clock lu the evening. Blanche bad the money ready for blm, but instead of going away be lingered to talk wltb ber. Tbe uext Saturday evening wben be came for. payment of tbe note he atopped longer. Indeed, bis visits grew more and mora extended and tbe relations between tbe two more tender. Some tlnie before tbt last installments were due Isaac ont evening when be called to collect tort up tbt notea and left her the possessor of tbe machine. Blanche's latitude kindled love, and not long after thla when Isaac proposed under the name of Nathan Griggs aht ac cepted blm. Sbt hnd scarcely given her word when tbt postman called and banded iter an answer to tbe offer of marriage tfief'.bad made the multimillionaire sev- rul moutha before. He Informed her hut on receiving ber letter and ber picture be bad taken pains to learn something about ber, bad seen ber and ind been so favorably impressed wttn ber that he bad decided to give ber the situation of wife to blm. Here was a altuatlon of another kind. Blanche had a few days before accept ed a aewlng machine agent and now cornea an offer of marriage from multimillionaire. Blanche fortunately received the let ter when ber motber waa upstalra and knew nothlug about It. Blonche took It up to her own room nnd bid It In ber Bureau drawer, saying nothing about It to her mother, whom ahe knew would, Clve her no penco till abe had broken with the sewing machine agent ana accepted the multimillionaire. Isaac -ailed tbot evening. He expected to find his betrothed In at least a atate or uncertainty and had but little doubt that he would receive his dismissal. He found Blanche In no different con dition than usual, except that the ureetlns kiss she gave him wna a trifle more affectionate. Isaac Phased the evening expecting every moment that the letter would be mentioned, but when he arose to go ind nothing hnd been said about It he began to wonder. He had stood behind . tree on Ibe opposite sld of the treet nnd seen the postman .hRtid Blanche a letter and knew that It was his. for he hnd purposely, put It ,n a pink envelope. He hud com expecting llancbe to tell him or ner orrer. The uext day Isaac received a letter 'com BtntU'he In answer his pro nsnl.

As the "wed ding day approached he told her that hia straitened circumstances would reoulre a very modest wedding, and since he hnd no house of bis own to take her to tbey must remain in ber own borne.- -t t The marriage took, place In her mody eat.; abode, after' which ber husbadil drove her to . a handsome . realdence She did not know till tben tnat msteaa of capturing a aewlng macbtnt agent abe bad captured a multimillionaire.
