good place to come to for those who
aspire to be tillers of the soil. A
new representation Of those indus
trious and frugal people have lately
settled upon the Stillaguamish river,
about eight miles above Stan wood.
! they are determined to take every
thing into their own hands and build
up town that shall be independent
of the outside world. They are al
ready making preparations for build
ing water sawmill to supply their
own lumber for building and other
purposes. They have no need of
sending away for nerchanics of any
kind. Old settlers in Oregon, will
testify to the respectable and enter
prising character of the German set
tiers of the State. Indeed, some of
the seemingly worst districts of the
State have been turned into smiling
gardens. through the indomitable
energy of these staid settlers. To
come to the one essential point, we
are trustfully hoping and hopefully
trusting that, ere long, we may be
able to divert company of German
immigrants towards this part of our
Territory. If our country cannot
furnish the requisite lands for few
hundred Of such families we are sure
that Chehalis county can do SO. Ev-
cry new impulse that Chehalis coun-
ty receives, acts almost directly upon
Olympia. Cannot some of our Ger
man citizens duly inform their friends
at home just how matters exist here I?
We are beginning to think that the
best emigration society, after all, is
composed of the great bulk of settlers
in the rural districts. If neighbour
hoods are to have their borders ex-
tended be the influx of honest, in
telligent and industrious settlers,
let the people in such neighbor-
hoods make known their wants to
their friends in the older States, and
the thing can be accomplished.
In the death of Bayard Taylor,
our country has lost man whose
place cannot we'll be filled. For
many years in his earlier life, Mr..
Taylor was correspondent of the
New Year Tribune, while that valu-
able journal was und>r the charge
of it's great originator, Horace
Greeley; and he doubtless owed
much of the originality and vigor of
his style to his eminent patron.
Bayard Tayler was born in Kennett
Square, Chester county, Pensylva-
MIA January IL, 1925. At seventeen
years of age, he was apprenticed to
the printing business in West Ches-
ter, of his native State. In 1S49,
he became part proprietor and asso-
ciate editor of the Tribune. As II
patriot, brilliant letter-writer, poet,
traveller and statesman, his name has
become q household word both in
this country and that of his adop-
ton, Germany, whose language he
had learned to speak as we'll as his
mother tongue. Mr.. Taylor was,
in the true same term, self-made
man. Although filing, ct the time
of his death, the important and re-
sponsible position of United States
Minister to one of the most enlightened
nations of Europe, to his everlasting
praise he it said, he was not poll
tician. To aspiring young men, We
earnestly recommend, as elegant and
instructive literature, the travels and
essays of Bayard Taylor.

| AN agricultural writer, (heaven
bless himD says, "Never put the
hands into butter. There is no en-
cuse for SO doing, and.every sense of
cleanliness forbids it. True, the
hands are clean, still as butter alb
serbs each and every impurity with
which it comes in contact, excessive
perspiration of the hands or any
humor of the blood might thus be
impaired to the butter. A wooden
ladle TO lift the butter from the
churn or turn it over while being
washed, answers just as we'll as the
hands and a vast deal better" The
above words are fi,ly spoken. Chem
