wkArCOM CoUNTY, W. T.

As there is deal Of inquiry about
"natcom county, and considerable
immigration thereto, we reprodncs
from An exchange the description fol
lowing:
Whatcon county is the largest in ares
and agricultural resources of any
county In Puget Sound or in Western
Washington, and although a great deal
OF the most desirable land is already
taken up, the rapidly increasing popula-
ton extending into the interior renders
good agricultural lands, once inaccess-
lDie, now quite desirable and valuable.
The bulk OF Immigration n this county
Is gong into the Nooksack river country,
rich and comparatively level plateau.
extending from Bellingham Bay to
British Columbia on the north, and to
the foot of the Cascade range to the
east, because 1t is to be recognized as
an exclusively farming country, where
new corners can either purchase ini-
proved tracts of 160 acres from 500 to
Y3.OOO,or settle adjoining these places on
Government land. There is now a
prospect Of a large town growing up on
Bellingham Bay, which will furnish the
Nooksack people a good market.
Samish, the next farming district to
the south, fronting on the Sound, is fast
becoming An important settlement. Im-
proved tldemarsh land there Is worth
$3.50 to 5000 a quarter section, and is
backed by some of tho finest timber
land on Puget Soxnd, on which already
considerable logging is done. The tim
ber land Is intersPersed with vacant
tracts of lighly timbered bottom land,
desirable for farming purposes.
Next We come to what is known az the
Laconuer or Swinomish Flats, tide
marsh lands under a high state of cul-
tiyation, the choicest tracts of which
sell TOR 5000 or $1,000. Back of these
lands is come 20,000 acres of vacant
beaver marsh land subject to overflow
from the Skagit, and which could be
easily reclaimed by colony of fifty or
sixty settlers and be made to blossom
like the rose, or produce 100 bushel of
oats to the acre, which the farmer can
realize upon IN the local market at
from &25 to $50 a ton, according to the
demand.
Close to the Lac0nuer flats are the
marsh lands of the delta of the Skagit,
the largest river emptying into Puget
Sound, which are similar in extent and
value to those already referred to.
Though the Skagit above the delta is
navigable for a distance of sixty or
seventy miles, and has several fine
farms or locations for such along its
banks on either side, it is chiefly noted
for its timber or logging interest, some
last year, with the prospect of q greatly

rnE SCARLET FGyER.

IL is as unnecessary for child to die
Of the scarlet fever rs it is that 1t should
be blind with cataract. Let us see:
At any time before the body has fin
ished its Intellectual struggle, We are
able to help it. not by wonderful med
icines, but ty the knowledge of anatomy,
and the application of common sense.
We consult the sympathetic nerve, and
DO what IL commands us to do. We
must give this child salt when it wants
It; we must give it acid when 1t has
fever and anxiOusly Graves it-not vine
gar, but lemon juice, because the first
coaRulates albumen, and the latter does
not, on account OF the surplus of Oxy-
gen which it contains. To initiate the
which is now wanting, and to give some
respiratory food at the same time, We
add some gum arabic. To restore and
relieve the injured nerve, We apply
moist warmth. In practise We can full
fill all this with the following simple
msnipulations: Undress the child, and
bring it to bed at the very first sign of
sickness. Give it, if it already has fever,
nothing but sourish warm lemonade
with some gum arabic in it. Then cover
its abdomen with some dry flannel.
Take q well-folded bed sheet, and put 1t
in boiling hot water; wiring it out dry
BY means of dry towels, and put this
oyer the flannel on the child's abdomen;
then cover the whole and wait. Tho
hot cloths will perhaps require repeated
heat. According to the severity of the
case and its stage of progress perspira-
tion will commence in the child in from
ten minutes to two hours. The child
then is saved; it soen falls to sleep.
Soon after the child awakes, it shows
slight symptoms of returning molina
ton for food: help its bowels. If neces-
sary, with injections of oil, soap and
water, and its recovery will be as steady

we'll treated. OF course ifthe child WAS
already dying nothing could save it, or
If it has already effusions in the lining
Of the heart or brain, il is much better
that II should die. But il the above is
applied In due time, under the eyes and
direction of a competent physician,

children will ever die Of scarlet fever.
know this will startle eome of my
readers, especially those who have lost
children already, but shall go still
further. ! maintain that a child will
never get scarlet fever il properly treat

blood, it will not catch the disorder il

more startling, but nothing is easier of
