FROM THE STATE OF WASHINGTON

Spokane, Wash., Nov. 19, ’O6. Editor Democrat:— ln coming to Washington we made our first stop at Culbertson, Montana, andean say that the country is fine north of the town. The soil is a dark brown clay with clay subsoil. There is lots of government land to be taken which is along the proposed extension of the Soo line. I consider this a good opportunity for a man with moderate means; he can get $3 per acre for breaking sod, besides proving up on his claim. We proceeded on our journey from Culbertson Saturday morning, Oct. 13, arriving in Quincy, Wash., Sunday, 10:30 p. m. We found Quincy quite a thriving little burg of about 500 population and still building. On Monday we started on a trip of 24 miles south of Quincy to look at a relinquishment which we afterwards bought. We found the country about all settled and fenced and counted about 30 windmills in the distance of 17 miles to Frenchman’s Hill. We stayed Monday night at Mr. grant's, who is enjoying good health and is well pleased with the country as was abo Dee Ferguson. Tuesday morning we proceeded over the hill to Dode Lang's claim, where we found Dode ai)d Vernon Thornton grubbing and burning sage brush. Vernon got in the rig and went with us to look at another relinquishment adjoining ours which he bought. We Hoosiers are very well pleased with the future prospects of this country. We are located about four miles from where the C., M. <fc St. P, crosses the Columbia river, where they expect to build a thriving town. Our next trip was 60 miles north of Quincy, up through the Big Bend country proper, which is rolling and very much more elevated, thus making it much colder. This is a very productive country. In this trip we passed through "Moses Coulee,” a very picturesque strip of country filled with ravines and table rock and natural fortifications, where old Chief Moses with his warriors withstood the L T . S. troops some years ago. We are now located at 02302 Atlantic St., Spokane, Wash., where we expect to remain until spring when we will try pioneer life on onr homestead for awhile. 1 will close by asking you to send Tbe Democrat to 02302 Atlantic St., Spokane, Wash.

PEOPLE OF THE DAY

Pioneer In Onr Sew Diplomacy. Professor John William Burgess, whose recent speech at Berlin attracted wide attention In German official and scholastic circles, Is the first Ineumbent of the Theodore Roosevelt professorship of American history and institutions at the University of Berlin. In lijs address, which was made In the presence of the emperor, Professor Burgess said: “In my first meeting with the president after my appointment to this professorship It pleased him to address me as an ambassador of peace, friendship and civilization. “He gave proof through this that he recognized and appreciated the great Idea which his majesty, the highly gifted and magnanimous German emperor, gave to the world.” On Jan. 1. 11)05, the German emperor said to Ambassador Tower, who had called to present New Year congratulations : “I wish that an arrangement could be made under which American pro-

JOHN WILLIAM BURGESS.

fessors could come to our universities and deliver courses of lectures each year and for German professors to go to American universities and deliver lectures there.” Columbia university took the first step toward a general system of cooperative education between the large universities of Europe and America. The Columbia trustees nominated John William Burgess, Ph. P., Ll. D„ Ruggles professor of political science and constitutional law and dean of the faculty of political science in Columbia university, and his appointment was made by the Prussian minister of education. In return the German government established at Columbia university a professorship of German history and Institutions. It is expected that in the near future similar professorships will be established at other European universities, especially at Paris and London. The Knlner’* I’olitene**. A story is being told to the effect that Emperor William while on a hunting expedition lately in north Germany took breakfast at the castle of a young newly married couple. The soup was served en tasse (In a cup), and the kaiser, who was busily engaged in conversation, asked the servant for milk and sugar, thinking it was tea. The hostess was too shy to call attention to the mistake. The milk and sugar were brought in aud the kaiser added them to the soup. When he sipped it he discovered his mistake, but rather than embarrass the hostess he heroically drank the whole lot. The Japanese Incident. Viscount Sluzo Aokl, Japanese ambassador at Washington, who recently protested against the exclusion of Japanese children from the schools of San Francisco, Is the first diplomat of highest rank to represent the mikado In this country. • The San l-’ranclsco Incident, lt is believed, will not lessen the cordiality of the relations that now exist between the two governments. The Japanese are said to he fully aware that the San Francisco troubles proceed from local conditions and do not indicate a national prejudice on our part. The Jap-

anese people are sincerely desirous of maintaining good relations with the Americans. They have the greatest respect for President Roosevelt and are satisfied that under his direction the American government will do what IS right. Viscount Aokl is about sixty years old and has had loug experience as a diplomat, having served his country both In England and Germany. He hns also been minister of foreign affairs at Tokyo. In his youth he studied In Germany and was married In that country to the Baroness von Rahden, a German lady. The Aokls have a daughter who Is married to a German.

FOR THE CHILDREN

How Lame Doe* the Moon Looltf Astronomers tell us that the diameter of the moon Is about 2,101 miles, or about one-fourth that of the earth. Its mean distance from the easth’S surface is about 203,1D0 miles, or nearly ten times the distance around the world. The real size of the moon can only be determined by a competent scientist. but any one can tell how big It looks to him, and it is surprising what a difference there is among people in this respect. When it is just coming up and Is viewed through trees or between buildings its apparent size is much larger than when it is directly overhead. To some It never looks larger than a small dinner plate, while to others it never looks smaller than a large wagon wheel about five feet In diameter, while to most persons it seems to be about fifteen inches across. It will be interesting for you to make inquiries among your friends and learn what different ideas they have as to the size of the glorious orb of the night. The differences are due more to the judgment than to keenness of eyesight.—Philadelphia Ledger. The Letter Game. Boys and girls, as well as those of larger growth, will greatly enjoy having their wits sharpened at a “letter party,” and for this the following set of questions, to be answered by one, two and three letters, is merely a suggestion : Name a beverage T Name a common bird J Name one of the human organs I What is Jealousy? T N V What is it to surpass others? X Lt Name a summer dress goods P K Name the condition of winter pavement I C Name a county In England S X Name too much of something X S Name a sailor’s response I I Name a creeping plant I V Name a kind of pepper K N Name a void M T Name a composition S A Name a mournful poem L E Q A “Bull" Defined. * You often hear of an expression called a "bull,” and lt may be that some of you do not understand what the term means, says the Chicago News. Webster defines it as “an expression containing an apparent eongruity, but a real incongruity of ideas.” Two or three examples will be better than the definition. An Irishman said to a friend who was studying for the priesthood, "I hope I may live to hear you preach my funeral sermon." A woman requested that her body he opened when she died for fear that she might be buried alive. The board of councilmen in a southern city ordered that the new jail should be built of the materials of the old jail and that the old one should be used until the new one was finished. DeheiMllnK*. A word which stands for a very common plow of furniture. Behead It once and you will have tluft which Is a very necessary part of the human head. Behead it again and you will have something which Is needed to sustain life. Answer—Chair. A word which describes an act we all perform between birth and maturity. Behead and you’ll have the position In which people sit In church. Answer.—Grow. A word which denotes a certain condition of atmosphere. Behead and get that which no one wants to become sooner than is absolutely necessary. Answer.—Cold. Horae* In a Fire, We have all heard lt said time and again that lt Is rarely possible to lead a horse out of a stable that Is on fire. He Is like a human being In a jmuic—his terror overcomes eveity other feeling, even to the point of frenzy. But a man who knows all about horses says that there is a way to get him out, uud a simple way at that—put a saddle on the horse, and you may lead him from the stable without the least difficulty. Of course, you see the reason at once—by going through au operation that the horse associates with the performance of ordinary duty you bring hint back to his senses, and he forgeta ■all about the fire.—Chicago News.
