You can hear more about this country
out there than you can here. Some
men will make money here, but there
are more who VIII lose it. At present
there are nearly as many leaving as
there are coming, and | don't know
how soon / shall make back tracks;
but hope to before long. or course
there is some splendid timber in this
country, but not on.-tonth part as
much rs | supposed there was for
where you can find one section OF good
timber there are ten that are good for
nothing, and as for farming land,
have not seen any, and have tramp
ed around considerable. They raise
nothing here but hay and hops. Some
made Il fortune last year in hops, but
there are many who failed this sum
mer. 1t has been very dry here; il
rained little last night, the first since
my arrival in June. If it were not for
the streams in this countrs don't
know what they would do, for they
are their only outlet and source of sup.
ply in this drouthy country They
will never have the wagon roads here
that they do east AS regards tramp
ing through the woods, if man
makes four miles day he will do well.
There are more that will travel less
than go over that. You may think
that i am yarning about it, but it is a
fact. for the ground is completely Gov
cred with all kinds OF trash. You can
not get anybody TO go back from the
water five or six miles for less than S25
and from that to $50. went within
four rods of acres of ground that
was burned clean of everything and
could not see it until climbed tree
about 30 feet high. SO you can judge
somewhat as to how thick the timber
stands OH the ground. The timber has
been taken up 80 fast during the past
year that there is hardly any to lie
found. 1t has cost me 500 since
landed in Seattle. Board is very high
in this country; you cannot set it

Should the corrupt Democratic ring succeed in

will be swept away as with a whirlwind. The
siandard-bearer of the party was the most plan,
Of the eorrupiioni';s who disgraced the Legisla.
ture by It's most shameless cxtravagancc. Every
measure favored BY the lobby and the ring he
persistenily advocated. and he assisted in making
the pay Of the officers Of both Houses exceed ,ha,
Of the members by thousands of dollars. The
Democratic organs favor the restoration again TO
power Of those who were instrumental in .ub.i.
dining them by paying them $1,000 year for
their services. Gov. Hamilton put stop to this
species Of State plumber BY fOrbdding the publ.
cation Of the laws in the county papers lie forced
the Legislature TO reform iha, much, but the hun.
cry organs thr,,ed for his blood and having 10,
